Chapter 552: Chapter 457: Silver Void Gold
Aurora Forest.
Soft Soft was surrounded by eight thick, dark blue water streams that entwined around a giant beast, pitch black and covered with spines on its back.
“Roar, roar!”
The beast roared and struggled, showing signs of breaking free from the binding, its terrifying strength was astonishing.
At that moment, Antonios swiftly swung a pocket-sized silver knife, soon slicing through the beast with silver threads from head to tail.
“Shred it, Silver!”
Instantly, blood splattered. Accompanied by a miserable scream, a large amount of blood sprayed from the beast.
The beast’s incredibly tough body was sliced along the silver threads, some parts deeply, and its neck was half severed!
Seeing the beast’s head slack on the ground, a cold glint flashed in Antonios’s eyes.
He moved with a blur, grasped the silver knife and stabbed it into the beast’s head as if wielding a sword.
However, the silver knife was too short, only piercing about three inches in.
Antonios paused for a moment, then with a thought, more sharp silver light burst from the blade’s tip, turning the beast’s head into a pulp!
“Phew…” Soft Soft exhaled slightly, retrieving her eight water streams with a thought. “This beast’s strength is truly monstrous. If it went on any longer, it might have broken my Sea Demon’s Touch!”
Antonios nodded, wiping off the blood and flesh from the silver knife with a handkerchief.
“Its strength and defense were both at the peak of the B-Level. If not for your Sea Demon’s Touch suppressing its Star Power, it would’ve been much harder to handle.”
Soft Soft proudly crossed her arms. “Of course, Soft Soft is very strong!”
Sea Demon’s Touch was a skill Soft Soft had acquired herself, used during the suppression of Mo Fei before.
It’s an Epic skill combining attack, defense, and control, extremely practical.
Now, Soft Soft had perfected it, striving for the Transformation Realm per Su Yuan’s advice.
More importantly, this skill perfectly matched the Devouring Law, allowing faster Star Power absorption through the touch of water streams.
Once entangled by Sea Demon’s Touch, with strong power and Star Power suppression, few enemies could escape!
Antonios put away the Star Core and handed it back to Soft Soft, then looked towards the Dark Forest’s depths, his expression becoming solemn.
“However… this is only the central area’s edge, and we already encountered such a tough Star Beast, likely comparable to some Star Envoy. Going deeper, the Star Beasts may be even stronger…”
Soft Soft laughed. “That means the chances of finding Void Gold are higher! At least it’s not too difficult for us now.”
“Hmm, let’s keep moving!” Antonios replied, leading Soft Soft deeper.
Under the aurora, in the night, many divine flying creatures with various mysterious auras flitted among the tall trees. Numerous strong exotic beasts were occupied in various spots.
Antonios and Soft Soft concealed their breaths, advancing cautiously while meticulously searching.
“Hmm? Little An, look over there!”
Suddenly, Soft Soft excitedly patted Antonios’s shoulder.
Antonios looked towards where Soft Soft pointed and saw many pieces of bronze-colored metal floating above a deep valley, some whole, some fragmented.
Among the bronze-colored metals, there was a distinctly different piece of silver-colored metal!
“It’s silver-colored Void Gold!” Soft Soft was overjoyed. “Little An, we’ve found it!”
Antonios flew forward to the valley entrance and peered inside.
“We found it, but…” Antonios smiled wryly and gestured inside.
Soft Soft followed his gaze and saw two giant dragons lying in the valley.
One was a black Demon Dragon with crimson eyes, looking fierce and brutal.
The other dragon was entirely golden, majestic, and dominant, with seemingly indestructible golden wings!
It was a dragon nest!
“Catastrophe Demon Dragon, Golden Winged Divine Dragon. These are rare even in the Northern Beast Forest.
And judging by their size and aura… they’re likely over 500-year-old Dragon Clan!”
Antonios took a deep breath, gazing at the two dragons below.
Soft Soft was also serious. “They seem really formidable!”
Both dragons were High-Level Dragons. The Catastrophe Demon Dragon and the Golden Winged Divine Dragon were on the same level as the Frost Sky Annihilation Dragon that evolved from the Frost Giant Dragon!
Currently, all the Void Gold, including the silver-colored piece, was deep in the valley, near the Golden Winged Divine Dragon.
Antonios gripped the silver knife, thinking for a moment before saying, “We’ll sneak in, I’ll control the Golden Winged Divine Dragon while you grab the Void Gold and retreat. I’ll hold them off.”
Soft Soft’s eyes twinkled. “Let’s get the Void Gold first!”
Antonios nodded, observed the dragons’ positions, and cut his chest with the silver knife.
A layer of silver ripples spread out from the cut, and instantly, all his leaking aura and Star Power fluctuations were contained.
Soft Soft was amazed. It was almost equivalent to the Concealing Breath effect from her Devouring Law.
Antonios nodded at Soft Soft, then moved ahead, concealed his form, and approached the Golden Winged Divine Dragon…
The Golden Winged Divine Dragon lazily devoured Star Power, about to change position, but suddenly sensed something. It instantly stood alert, looking toward a spot, its golden vertical pupils exuding intense pressure.
“Dragon Clan’s instincts are truly sharp…”
Seeing he was about to be discovered, Antonios no longer hid, ignited his Star Power, and charged forward.
“Roar!”
The Golden Winged Divine Dragon, enraged by the intrusion into its territory, roared and swung its razor-sharp talons at Antonios.
Instantly, Antonios’s silver-thread net was torn apart with a metallic clash.
“What sharp claws!” Antonios’s heart clenched.
Enraged, the Golden Winged Divine Dragon charged at Antonios, but a dark blue water stream shot out, sweeping all the Void Gold, including the silver piece, away!
The Golden Winged Divine Dragon’s golden pupils widened.
“Roar!!”
Having guarded this spot for three or four hundred years, no one had ever dared to rob it!
Infuriated, the Golden Winged Divine Dragon raised its head, opened its massive maw.
Countless golden Star Light converged into its mouth, rapidly forming a highly compressed golden light ball!
“Dragon Flash?!”
Antonios’s face changed, swiftly dodging aside.
The golden Dragon Flash shot out from the Golden Winged Divine Dragon’s mouth, golden light exploding in the night, a golden beam destroying everything in its path over a kilometer!
Dragon Flash, a powerful skill unique to High-Level Dragon Clan.
It required a strong body, strong Star Power, and Dragon Breath to use Dragon Flash!
As the golden Dragon Flash dissipated, a collapsing black sphere remained where Antonios was, narrowly blocking the attack.
“That was close, it’s really powerful…” Soft Soft patted her chest, dispersing the surrounding devouring energy.
Antonios was surprised. “Didn’t I tell you to leave immediately?”
Soft Soft pointed aside. “The black guy’s coming too; can’t leave even if I wanted~”
Antonios saw the Catastrophe Demon Dragon rushing over with its huge wings.
Soft Soft continued. “Besides, Soft Soft never leaves a companion behind!”
“Indeed, full of loyalty!” Antonios shook his head, smiling, then his expression turned serious. “In that case, let’s take on these two dragons first!”
“Alright!”
Soft Soft pulled out a Cross Sword, the bloodletting trait Capricorn Epic Star Artifact!
Facing two over-500-year-old High-Level Dragons, Soft Soft and Antonios couldn’t be careless and engaged with full force…
Westward, atop the snowfield.
The Space Gate opened, and Su Yuan, in a black robe, and Shen Die, in a black combat uniform, emerged.
Shen Die stared ahead. “This is the Extreme Cold Snowfield.”
Su Yuan’s eyes shone silver, scanning with All-Knowing Vision, quickly locating some humans and Star Beasts.
“It seems lively here?”
Shen Die nodded. “The Extreme Cold Snowfield is a treasure land, many come here specifically for materials and Star Cores.”
“Is that so…”
Su Yuan nodded, but his expression changed as he saw something.
Su Yuan said, “Let’s explore separately for now. If you find anything, send a message.”
After the initial emergence of the three veins’ authenticity, the changes in Earth Qi and Star Power had stabilized, confined to this snowfield.
“Okay, Su Xing Lord, be careful.” Shen Die replied, then gracefully flew away and vanished from Su Yuan’s sight.
Su Yuan looked toward the place where he had detected something, chuckled, and disappeared in a burst of silver light…
