CHAPTER 640: Fossilize

Almost every living thing on the Profound Continent couldn't resist the power of the Primordius Dragon, the Planar Guardian of the Profound Continent. All of the magical creatures in the Dark Forest who heard the Primordius Dragon's pitiful roar instinctively became frightened and stayed away from the area where the voice originated.

The explosions from the Pearls of Annihilation were unable to shatter the earth armour covering the Primordius Dragon's body. However, the Soulpiercers that came with the explosions were able to penetrate the material defences. Even all the earth armour with its astonishing defensive power could not stop the Soulpiercers from attacking the soul.

The green flames of the Cyan Demonblaze could burn body and soul without direct contact. It was a treasured demonic weapon, even more vicious than the Soulpiercers. The Blood Seether didn't just damage the outer skin. As soon as the Blood Seether reached the Primordius Dragon, the blood circulation in his body began to become abnormal, and he felt as if his arteries and veins were slowly bursting.

These three precious demonic weapons were hidden in the dark cloud by Han Shuo and were detonated all at once at the right moment. The attacks landed completely on the Primordius Dragon, instantly inflicting immense injuries and excruciating pain.

Demonic arts and demonic weapons were not from this universe. This was the first time the Primordius Dragon had ever encountered such a bizarre attack. As his earth armour became ineffective and his body and soul suffered from the barrage of attacks, he felt confused for the first time and began to howl in pain.

"Like I said, I'm not going to escape!" The dark clouds completely dissipated to reveal three identical Han Shuos. All three of them were covered in cuts and bruises from the Primordial Dragon's bombardment of mountain missiles and meteorite impacts. They looked extremely battered.

But at that moment, the Primordius Dragon was deaf to Han Shuo's words. It constantly howled in pain. The earth armour covering his huge dragon body cracked and fell off as it burned with green flames. His body was scorched and charred.

Han Shuo's Avatar of Destruction transformed into the Demonslayer Edge form and flew into the grasp of his main body. Han Shuo's Demonslayer Edge wielding main body flew towards the Primordius Dragon, who had fallen into madness. Meanwhile, his Avatar of Death hovered in the air, silently gathering his divine energy to launch the next wave of attack.

The Primordius Dragon's body and soul suffered constant damage under the assault of the three demonic weapons. Under such circumstances, the Primordius Dragon was extremely powerless to defend itself against Han Shuo at this moment. Therefore, this was the golden opportunity for Han Shuo to strike his final blow.

However, the Primordial Dragon as a mid-stage Lowgod was indeed much stronger than the four great demon kings Han Shuo had encountered in the Abyss Realm earlier. Even though the Primordius Dragon had been affected by the harmful energies of the three demonic weapons, it had still not completely collapsed. The divine energy and divine soul in his body were not completely incapacitated.

A transformation took place in an instant. Just as Han Shuo was about to thrust the Demonslayer's Edge into the Primordial Dragon's neck, Han Shuo's consciousness realised that the Primordial Dragon's divine soul and divine body were forming an extraordinary bond. Strange changes also occurred in the Earth Domain of Divinity that enveloped the Primordial Dragon during this instance.

Right in front of Han Shuo's eyes, the Primordius Dragon's massive dragon body was rapidly petrifying at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. The process was so fast that the almost mountain-sized body of the Primordius Dragon was completely petrified in the short instance that Han Shuo was distracted. A thick layer of rock covered his entire body as his physical body absorbed all the earth elements from his Domain of Divinity. These earth elements, filling every cell in his body to the brim, aided in the fossilization of his body.

The fossilized Primordius Dragon was still able to circulate his divine energy throughout his body unhindered. His divine soul was still hard and strong. Han Shuo soon realised that although the Primordius Dragon had lost its mobility, its consciousness was still present as before.

The Cyan Demonic Blaze and Blood Seether had immense destructive power against physical body and blood. However, after the Primordius Dragon petrified his own body, the large amount of Earth Element that filled his flesh and blood changed its original properties, nullifying the incredibly destructive power of the Cyan Demonblaze and Blood Seether.

As for the Soulpiercers, since they only targeted the soul, although the petrifaction prevented him from being harmed by the Cyano Demonblaze and Blood Seether, it did nothing to stop the Soulpiercers from attacking. He still had to do his best to rid his soul of the soul-destroying energy of the Soulpiercers.

Had it not been for the Primordius Dragon's sudden masterstroke, Han Shuo believed that the Primordius Dragon, who had guarded the Profound Continent for many years, would have perished that day under the attacks of his three precious demonic weapons, with one thrust of his incisive Demonslayer Edge.

But in life, not everything goes as planned. The battle seemed to be over in an instant, but who knew that the Primordius Dragon would suddenly petrify and escape the effects of the Cyan demonicblaze and Blood Seether in an instant. What's more, he was currently doing his best to eliminate the Soulpiercers' attack on his soul.

The process had happened so quickly that Han Shuo hadn't been able to deal the final blow in time. Seeing that the Primordius Dragon had completed the fossilization process, Han Shuo knew that he would have to deal it devastating blows before he could completely eradicate the corrosion of the Soulpiercers from his soul.

Of the eight elemental energies, the element of earth was renowned for its robust defensive power. For Primordius Dragon to fossilize at such a critical moment was ample proof of his confidence in his fossilized state. Otherwise, he would never have done it.

Without much hesitation, Han Shuo raised and injected all of his Demonic Yuan into the Demonslayer's Edge. Combining it with the chaotic energy of destruction within, the Demonslayer Edge left a trail of dark radiance as it shot down at the fossilized back of the Primordius Dragon.

The reason Han Shuo struck at the dragon's back instead of the dragon's head was that before the Primordius Dragon petrified, it had buried its head beneath its dragon body. He had planned to use other parts of his body to absorb Han Shuo's punishing attacks, not giving Han Shuo the chance to finish him off directly by bombarding his vital dragon head.

This extraordinary killing weapon that had absorbed the negative energies of hundreds of thousands of souls, when fully catalysed by Han Shuo's demonic arts, could definitely be considered an unstoppable divine weapon. When it struck the fossilized back of the Primordius Dragon, bright sparks were emitted.

The Demonslayer's Edge did not disappoint Han Shuo. Fossilization, one of the ultimate forms of Earth's elemental energy, the elemental energy that was said to have the best defensive power, possessed such immense defensive power that it made his body harder than the hardest rock. However, under the full attack of Han Shuo and the Demonslayer's Edge, this petrified body still emitted sparks, allowing the half-length of the Demonslayer's Edge to enter. Han Shuo's sensitive consciousness picked up that as the Demonslayer Edge thrust into the fossilized body, the Primordius Dragon's soul trembled at the same time. This made Han Shuo realise that even though the Primordius Dragon was fossilized, it would still cause pain when injured.

Han Shuo's face shook. He grabbed the hilt of the Demonslayer Edge with both hands and pulled it out. The jingling of metals sounded. It was similar to pulling out of a crevice.

Seeing that this type of attack was effective, Han Shuo did not hesitate. He soared into the sky in the same manner and poured all of his energy into the Demonslayer's Edge. He struck again, hitting the same wound he had just made on the Primordius Dragon with great precision.

This time, the Demonslayer Edge penetrated his body all the way to the hilt. Han Shuo could clearly feel the Primordius Dragon's soul, which was focused on eliminating the corrosive energy of the Soulpiercer, trembling even more violently.

Han Shuo laughed grimly in his heart and repeated the same action. He soared into the sky and bombarded the Primordius Dragon's body again and again, inflicting deep wounds on its body. The Primordius Dragon looked like a huge rock covered in cracks. It looked extremely terrifying.

Perhaps due to Han Shuo's incessant bombardment, the Primordius Dragon took a much longer time to eliminate the Soulpiercer compared to the Abyssal Demon Kings. His soul was constantly trembling and in excruciating pain.

Han Shuo did not say a word, but callously repeated the same action: rise high into the air, dive quickly, strike and repeat.

He made sure to deliver three strikes to each cut, ensuring that the Demonslayer Edge penetrated deep into his body, damaging his organs.

Han Shuo repeated the same attack over thirty times. Apart from the dragon's head, most of the vital organs of the dragon's body were deeply wounded by Han Shuo's method, leaving him severely injured

Eventually, all the energy of the Soulpiercer in the Primordius Dragon's soul was completely eliminated.

A world-shattering dragon roar sounded from his head, which was wrapped under his dragon body. After the roar, the Primordial Dragon's petrified body rapidly transformed. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a charred, severely wounded and badly mangled state.

Han Shuo once again swooped down from the sky. This time, when the Primordius Dragon's head was revealed, Han Shuo changed his target mid-flight and bombarded the dragon's head. He was trying to finish off the Primordial Dragon once and for all!

Roar... the Primordius Dragon roared furiously at the sky. Its iron anchor-like dragon claws shot out at lightning speed, blocking Han Shuo's deadly blow.

In response, the Primordius Dragon began to roar like a creature of the wild. Just as Han Shuo thought that the Primordius Dragon would lose its mind and launch a counterattack, the Primordius Dragon swung its tail and made a miserable escape towards the Kasi Empire.

On the Primordius Dragon's back, there was the horrible sight of huge wounds still gushing fresh blood like a broken faucet. His huge dragon body was badly mangled and charred all over. He appeared to be badly injured.

It seemed that even though the Primordius Dragon had petrified his body, all the cracks caused by the bombardment of Han Shuo's Demonslayer Edge would still be there after the petrification was reversed. Each and every one of the dozen or more deep wounds had penetrated deep into the Primordius Dragon's body. Han Shuo knew that he must have suffered extremely serious injuries. Otherwise, instead of trying to escape, the Primordius Dragon would surely have fought Han Shuo to the death after being humiliated like this

Han Shuo heaved a sigh of relief. He coldly watched the Primordius Dragon transform into human form as he ran until he was out of sight. He did not get up to go after him, but rested on the same ground for a moment.

The Primordius Dragon was still able to move very quickly even though it had suffered severe injuries. However, Han Shuo believed that as long as he pursued it with all his might, he could definitely catch up with it. But by then, Han Shuo had used up a great deal of his energy and needed to take a break. Otherwise, even if he caught up with the Primordius Dragon, he might not necessarily have the energy to kill it.

Besides, Han Shuo had a much better idea. So he decided to sacrifice this opportunity and continue to pursue the Primordius Dragon.
