Black lightning struck the green armor, emitting a roar and thunderous crashes.
The black lightning left cracks on the armor's surface, but didn't destroy it. Instead, the armor's color deepened by a shade.
"What the hell is this?"
The giant lizard was startled. These green lights gave it a sense of inexplicable danger.
This was a danger it had never felt before.
At this moment, dense vines began to coil around the giant lizard.
The giant lizard roared, opening its massive maw and unleashing a gust of wind that swept up the vines. With a powerful swing, it flung them all away.
The giant lizard's huge claws grasped the air, seizing a vine in its palm. With a squeeze, it snapped.
But this was just the beginning.
Countless black branches spun madly around the giant lizard, transforming into countless sharp blades that descended upon Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's expression was solemn. Golden light erupted from him, forming a thick yellow barrier around his body, repelling the branches.
Zhou Yan unleashed a punch, and a yellow vortex appeared out of thin air.
The yellow vortex collided with the black branches, exploding into a terrifying shockwave of energy.
This shockwave swept in all directions.
The giant lizards were all repelled by the impact.
Zhou Yan stumbled, sent flying backward, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"The giant lizard's skin is too tough. This strike, though it didn't injure it, made my arm ache intensely."
Zhou Yan inwardly lamented.
But he knew he had to deal with this giant lizard quickly.
Zhou Yan stomped on the ground with both legs, launching himself forward like a cannonball. His speed was extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he was before the giant lizard.
The giant lizard roared and spewed a cloud of black mist.
The black mist grew rapidly in size as it met the wind, forming a small mountain that pressed down on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's eyes widened, and he leaped, dodging the mountain's attack.
He somersaulted in mid-air and punched towards the giant lizard's head.
The giant lizard opened its mouth and spat out a stream of black venom to meet him.
Golden light surged from Zhou Yan, and ripples spread from his body, deflecting the black venom.
The giant lizard's venom was actually pushed away.
Zhou Yan's heart filled with joy.
However, the giant lizard's attacks were ferocious. It spewed a cloud of black poisonous gas from its mouth, which transformed into a black dragon that charged forward.
Zhou Yan's face darkened, and he quickly activated the Bagua Yin Yang Diagram to protect himself.
The poisonous gas struck the Bagua Yin Yang Diagram, erupting with a powerful blast of air. Zhou Yan was sent flying.
He coughed up a stream of blood.
"Hmph, petty trick!"
Zhou Yan wiped the blood from his lips and continued to charge towards the giant lizard.
But his speed, though fast, was no match for the giant lizard.
The giant lizard leaped into the air, appearing before him in an instant and lunging to bite him with its gaping maw.
The giant lizard's speed was incredible, like instant teleportation. Even Zhou Yan found it difficult to react in time. However, his physical body was immensely strong, and if he took this blow head-on, he might suffer.
"Rumble!"
The giant lizard's mouth clamped down on Zhou Yan's arm, causing intense pain.
But this did not stop Zhou Yan's attack. His golden spear fiercely pierced the giant lizard's abdomen, creating a large hole.
The giant lizard cried out in pain but held its bite firmly on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan frowned.
He felt the powerful aura emanating from the giant lizard and knew that it truly lived up to its divine beast status.
But what of being a divine beast?
In front of him, it still possessed no power to resist!
Golden light blazed from him, with golden rings swirling around his body.
With a powerful yank of his arm, the giant lizard's tail was torn off, like a stretched leather whip.
The giant lizard let out a shrill scream, thrashing on the ground. Its massive body scraped against the earth, kicking up a dust storm.
Zhou Yan swayed and stood up from the ground.
The golden spear he had been holding had shattered into powder, but the golden battle-axe in his hand was intact, not even showing a trace of damage.
"This battle-axe is actually an immortal treasure. No wonder it could withstand the giant lizard's attack."
A hint of greed flickered in Zhou Yan's eyes.
This immortal treasure was precisely that immortal-tier battle-axe.
During the battle, he had continuously infused it with immortal essence, pushing its power to the limit, and then absorbed its strength into his body, making himself increasingly robust.
This immortal treasure was, in essence, his life-saving charm.
"Roar!"
A scream suddenly sounded. Zhou Yan turned his head and saw that he had ripped off the giant lizard's head with his bare hands.
Although this giant lizard had no life force, it was still a divine beast-level demonic beast. The aura of death caused it immense pain.
Golden light flashed from Zhou Yan, and he collected the giant lizard's corpse.
Zhou Yan's figure flickered and disappeared from his spot, reappearing above another of the giant lizard's heads. He gripped the battle-axe with both hands and swung it forcefully, striking the giant lizard's neck.
With a dull thud, a piece of the giant lizard's neck was severed, blood splashing out.
The giant lizard's neck bone was incredibly hard; ordinary weapons could not cleave it.
However, the golden battle-axe in Zhou Yan's hand was a Heaven-tier low-grade weapon with the Nine Transformations effect, making it effortless to slay such a demonic beast.
The giant lizard's head tilted and fell straight down.
A crystal-clear bead flew out from the giant lizard's head.
Zhou Yan reached out and captured the bead. He examined it closely, finding it to be a blood-red orb that emitted a bloody scent, like fresh blood.
"Blood Demon Fruit!"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened.
His gaze was filled with fervor. This Blood Demon Fruit was a peculiar kind of fruit.
It contained a dense blood evil energy, which could help cultivators of the Blood Demon Art to cultivate ten times faster than ordinary individuals.
Upon consuming this fruit, Zhou Yan could enhance his bloodline, improve his cultivation talent, and greatly increase his cultivation speed.
Furthermore, the Blood Demon Fruit was an extremely precious item.
This was because it could cause a metamorphosis of one's bloodline, which was extremely beneficial for cultivating the Blood Demon Art.
For those who practiced the Blood Demon Art, the Blood Demon Fruit was like a sacred medicine.
The giant lizard's bloodline was that of a divine beast, so such a fruit was undoubtedly of immeasurable value.
