"Roar!"
The mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent roared twice. Although Qin Chuan's amplification was limited to boosting combat effectiveness and couldn't amplify changes in realm,
weakening it now seemed easier. Its strength was already suppressed by the pressure of heaven and earth; the ancient dragon tomb was already under such pressure, and now Qin Chuan's intimidation and weakening, aided by the heavenly might, was even more powerful.
Normally, it could weaken all its strength by 20%, but in this ancient dragon tomb, it seemed to have weakened even more.
A hint of panic crept into the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent's roar. Its combat power had now completely fallen below the half-step Void Realm.
Originally, it was at the strongest level of the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and even weakened, it was still at its strongest, after all, it was previously at the War God Realm. But now, with just one weakening, it had directly fallen below the Void Realm.
Qin Chuan could now see the true strength of the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent, and the pressure it emitted had also diminished considerably.
Suddenly, he felt a much lighter burden. Qin Chuan hadn't relaxed, because from the beginning he knew the real danger wasn't this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent, but Tai Hou.
The feeling was even stronger now, because he could sense Taihou's intense killing intent towards him, which had surpassed that towards Yuqing.
Having come this far, Qin Chuan wouldn't show mercy to the one who deserved to die, as that would be the greatest cruelty to himself. Therefore, Qin Chuan was prepared to strike first and cripple Taihou if necessary.
But he couldn't kill him before that, because this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon was far from simple. Even with its weakened cultivation level, and even though Yuqing's cultivation level had surpassed that of the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon, it still couldn't defeat it.
Killing the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon would definitely require some special methods and abilities. He and Yuqing probably didn't have such abilities, but Taihou likely did.
The battle began!
Qin Chuan didn't participate in the battle, only providing support. He had already summoned the Dragon Baby, and the existence of this little creature could suppress the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon.
In the eyes of the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon, the Dragon Baby was just a tiny creature, but as soon as it saw the Dragon Baby, its entire body tensed up, staring intently at the Dragon Baby.
The dragon baby was at the Celestial Venerable Realm, which was why Qin Chuan was so confident. A Celestial Venerable Realm dragon baby was incredibly terrifying.
If he were to fight Tai Hou in a straightforward battle, Qin Chuan wouldn't fear him, but he was afraid of certain special things that could instantly kill him, leaving him no chance to fight back.
Many trump cards were simply too terrifying and domineering. Legend has it that there were treasures capable of slaying gods and Buddhas, usually one-time use, or only usable once in a very long time. They were
incredibly domineering, ignoring any ability to protect oneself and guaranteeing a kill.
However, there were also treasures that protected one's life, ignoring all killing intents and guaranteeing a single life.
These were all legends, but they seemed real. Qin Chuan was curious: if these two kinds of treasures clashed, would it be a kill or a life-saving confrontation?
There was no answer, so Qin Chuan just thought about it casually and stopped considering it. He'd consider such treasures when he had them; besides, such treasures were extremely rare to encounter or clash with.
After all, many times it's an accident, and there's simply no chance to fight back. Even legendary beings of great wisdom and strength might not possess such treasures, and even if they did, they might not encounter an existence with a counter-treasure.
Therefore, it's extremely difficult to find an equal match for such treasures, as treasures are rare, and such heaven-defying treasures are even rarer.
Roar!
The enormous figure of the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent moved, twisting and turning. With the rhythm of its body, the earth shook, and the heavens and earth seemed to darken.
The intense pressure, the enormous dragon head, emitted a deafening roar, and a dragon tail swept over.
Rumble...
Mountains crumbled and the earth shook; this tail strike was almost devastating.
Ferocious and powerful.
Qin Chuan's expression also changed. Even weakened to this extent, this single strike still possessed such power.
This must be some passive divine ability. Its physical body is far stronger than many true dragons. Thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent has devoured many true dragons.
Qin Chuan and his companions scrambled to dodge; this sweeping attack was simply too ferocious. While dodging, Qin Chuan attempted to attack the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent.
However, the attack was rather disappointing; the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent's resilience was simply too strong.
Nevertheless, Qin Chuan possessed the power of the world, and his attacks would continuously increase. Given enough time, in principle, he could damage this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent.
Of course, this was contingent on the opponent giving him sufficient time.
*Poof!
* To Qin Chuan's surprise, the baby dragon's tiny claws could break through the opponent's defenses. However, the baby dragon was too small, and the mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent was too large. The incredibly thick dragon hide was torn open by the tiny claws, reaching a depth of more than half a foot, but it still hadn't penetrated the hide.
It was too big, too thick. The dragon hide was very tough; the baby dragon could tear it open, but it was like a mosquito biting someone—the wound at most only reached the core of the formation, hardly constituting substantial damage.
This was awkward. The baby dragon's destructive power was strong, but it was unclear whether this weakness could be overcome.
The sheer size of the demonic beast has its advantages. Its massive size itself disperses damage, even mitigating it significantly.
A normal sword strike that would severely injure or even kill a human is negligible against this colossal mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent.
However, being small also has its advantages. For instance, if one can break through the opponent's defenses, one can slip inside and deliver a fatal blow.
Of course, not all demonic beasts can be penetrated this way. Ordinary beasts with inferior bloodlines, even if they manage to break through and slip inside, will only be devoured by the opponent's blood and vital energy.
Furthermore, slipping inside an opponent's body is extremely difficult, especially against powerful beasts with their own defensive mechanisms and sophisticated countermeasures.
The baby dragon, in fact, disdains this method. Despite its small size, the baby dragon prefers direct confrontation.
The baby dragon possesses a noble bloodline and a much higher level of power. Although this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon serpent has been weakened to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, it is still almost a whole realm higher than the baby dragon.
Even a typical Heavenly Venerable, at the highest level, would be utterly helpless against a dragon cub that has just entered the Heavenly Venerable realm.
However, this mutated seven-headed demonic dragon-serpent is a Heavenly Venerable expert whose War God realm has been suppressed. Although its strength and realm have been suppressed, it can still use some supernatural abilities and other powers, just not at their peak.
