"Be my food, obediently!"
A hoarse laugh, emanating from all directions, accompanied the monstrous bat phantom surging forward.
This is!
The vampire's voice.
Ao Yuan fixed his gaze and saw the monstrous bat phantom charging straight at him.
At this very moment.
He could clearly see the monstrous bat phantom's gaping maw.
Its mouth was a patch of darkness, like an abyss of night.
Only its two sharp, slender fangs gleamed with a faint red light, appearing eerily sinister.
Concurrently, the space vibrated violently, and a torrent of blood-red light descended with crushing force.
In that instant, a destructive pressure swept through Ao Yuan's entire body.
*Bang bang bang!*
Even before the monstrous bat phantom could bite down, his body began to emit explosive sounds.
This was caused by the overwhelming pressure.
Even!
At this moment, Ao Yuan could clearly smell the scent of a crisis born from death.
Everything seemed to portend that he was utterly incapable of resisting the vampire's attack.
"Hmph!"
Ao Yuan roared, and a pale blue mist erupted, enveloping his entire body.
Weak Water Guard!
Harnessing the power of Weak Water to protect himself, combined with the resilience of Ao Yuan's dragon scales and the healing properties of his dragon innate abilities.
Ao Yuan was confident that no creature on Blue Star could breach his defenses!
Just then, the monstrous bat phantom moved with incredible speed.
In a flash, it was within a meter of Ao Yuan.
At this distance, it was no exaggeration to say.
Ao Yuan was like a condemned criminal, with absolutely no chance of escape.
The next instant.
The monstrous bat phantom opened its massive jaws and clamped down on Ao Yuan's body!
*Crack!*
The Weak Water Guard rippled like colossal waves.
Following this, the pale blue mist suddenly showed a crack, which rapidly spread, quickly forming a vast, spiderweb-like fissure.
*Bang bang bang!*
Then, with a thunderous roar, the Weak Water protecting Ao Yuan's body exploded, dissipating into brilliant light.
However, the monstrous bat phantom's momentum did not wane, and it continued to bite down on Ao Yuan with unhurried grace.
"It seems I can't hold back any longer."
Seeing this, Ao Yuan showed no surprise, only a deep sigh.
Without further hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Reverse Blood Pill.
*Splash!*
At that very moment, the monstrous bat phantom fully clamped down on Ao Yuan.
Its sharp teeth once again pierced Ao Yuan's scales.
The monstrous bat phantom began to greedily drain Ao Yuan's blood.
With each passing second, its phantom form grew more solid.
It was estimated that once Ao Yuan's blood was completely drained, the 'phantom' part of the monstrous bat's designation would disappear entirely!
*Boom boom boom!*
However.
At this moment, Ao Yuan paid no mind to the monstrous bat.
He felt his blood surge throughout his body, flowing rapidly into his dantian like a river flowing upstream.
This was strange.
Pain!
This was Ao Yuan's first thought.
But soon.
Ao Yuan sensed something was amiss. His aura was climbing steadily, as if without end.
He rapidly surpassed the limits of the Spirit Sea realm and was quickly advancing into another stage.
At this moment.
Ao Yuan closed his eyes, feeling this unparalleled transformation.
It was as if a primitive human had evolved into someone in modern society.
His spirit, his body, and the spiritual energy contained within were all growing exponentially.
Now.
Though Ao Yuan's eyes were closed, he felt as if he could see everything around him with perfect clarity.
He could even hear the slightest rustle of leaves from afar, as if these events were unfolding right before his eyes.
"Hmm?"
At this very moment, the monstrous bat phantom also sensed something was wrong.
"Why... can't I draw any more blood?"
The vampire exclaimed in surprise, then strained with all his might.
But the result was the same; he couldn't extract any blood from Ao Yuan's body.
Even though Ao Yuan was right there in his jaws.
"Hoo hoo hoo!"
As he stood in bewilderment, Ao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a potent and brilliant light shooting forth from them.
"This... this is!"
Meeting Ao Yuan's gaze, the vampire's internal alarm bells rang out instantly.
It felt as if he had touched something forbidden.
The next second.
He extremely decisively released his grip, and countless red lights surged forth.
Transforming into a crimson streak, he fled the bloody world in an instant.
He had always trusted his instincts, and even if they were wrong, it wouldn't cause him any harm.
After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he could return immediately!
"Is this... the Psychic Realm?"
Ao Yuan clenched his claws, feeling the surging power within him.
He sighed slightly, having once thought the Spirit Sea realm was powerful enough.
But only after entering the Psychic Realm did he realize the Spirit Sea was nothing in comparison.
If this were on Blue Star, with his Psychic Realm strength, Ao Yuan was confident he could deal with any nation on Blue Star.
Even if nuclear weapons were used in the end, he could survive unharmed!
After savoring the newfound power, Ao Yuan suddenly noticed the monstrous bat phantom attempting to escape.
Ao Yuan shook his head and ignored it, instead looking at his injured body.
"Congeal!"
With a soft command, his previously difficult-to-heal wounds instantly mended, leaving no trace of injury.
"Dragon brat, when I recover my peak strength, I will return to take your dog life!"
At that moment, a world-shaking roar echoed from the heavens.
Ao Yuan turned his head and saw the monstrous bat had shot through the clouds, rapidly heading into the distance.
From his vantage point, the monstrous bat's colossal body appeared like a tiny black dot.
Clearly, if this monstrous bat was determined to escape, it wouldn't be easy to catch.
It could cover tens of thousands of meters in a blink.
"Did you think you could escape?"
Ao Yuan made no move to pursue it, merely slowly raising his left claw.
*Riiip!*
Then, Ao Yuan gently lowered his left claw, as if he had done nothing at all.
Concurrently.
Glancing back at Ao Yuan's rapidly disappearing figure, the vampire, now transformed into a monstrous bat, breathed a sigh of relief.
From the current situation, he had finally escaped.
He had never expected that Ao Yuan, who was on the verge of death, would undergo such a transformation.
Indeed.
Dragons were worthy of their reputation!
Their hidden trump cards were truly unfathomable.
However, he was also aware that Ao Yuan's sudden surge in power must have involved some dragon forbidden technique.
Once the effects wore off, his strength would return to its previous level.
It was with this thought in mind that upon realizing how far he had put between himself and Ao Yuan, he slowed his pace, planning to launch a surprise counter-attack later.
However.
At this very moment.
A tremendous sense of crisis suddenly washed over him...
