Using Wood as a Sword

Chapter 391 Gradually Ascending! A Prelude from the Strongest Illusionary Power!

With a world-shattering tremor, a mark of the Golden Dragon Emperor, radiating immense bloodlust and unparalleled dominance, a symbol of the most formidable and perverted physical strength, appeared on Adam Hammer's torso.

This curse mark from an ancient Dragon Emperor completely shattered the shackles of power systems, enabling the sealing of dimensions and space solely through the least altered physical might.

Adam Hammer could clearly sense that this mark was specifically designed to engulf him entirely, to then gradually seal and refine him.

Seeing that I possess infinite energy and cannot be defeated head-on, you wish to attempt to seal me, and then slowly obliterate me through the accumulation of ages?

How can I allow that?!

Enraged to the point of madness, Adam Hammer roared, unleashing an endless torrent of demonic energy from his limbs and torso without reservation.

This time, things had truly gotten out of hand.

After all, the Eternal Crystal's transmission efficiency was astonishingly high, not to mention Adam Hammer was releasing energy from every single part of his body.

Furthermore, his limbs and torso were currently separated, further increasing the cross-sectional area for energy release.

Thus, in the very next instant, Adam Hammer's energy core utilization rate surged to 65%!

Affected by his energy release, countless streams of blue light erupted, engulfing the entire arena and relentlessly destroying all other units.

However, Lin Ran's main body was not particularly afraid of this.

Not to mention the Absolute Defense: Shield of the Gods he had absorbed, even the incredibly high magic resistance and reflection of the Magic-Equipped Armed: Golden Armor attached to his skin could easily cope with this wave of impact.

The main reason was that Adam Hammer, in order to escape Amaterasu's further corrosion and the seal of the Golden Emperor Dragon Seal, was releasing indiscriminate energy dispersal. The output was not concentrated, so how could it possibly break through his defenses?

Not only was Lin Ran's main body unaffected, but even the items that had acquired partial attributes of the Shield of the Gods and the Golden Armor after the divine artifact fusion only reacted slightly.

The King's Treasury was still in a state of infinite bombardment, though the firing rate might have slowed slightly.

The Chains of Heaven were still binding and restraining, though the chains began to tremble continuously.

Although the Golden Emperor Dragon Seal's radiance was obscured, the energy within it remained undiminished.

Even Amaterasu, which appeared to be the most fragile, only saw its flames flicker with reduced amplitude; within its core, it still raged unrestrained.

The only effect of Adam Hammer's move was probably to make the protective barrier of the entire arena creak and groan…

"You're not good enough, little brother…"

"I don't even feel a thing!"

Lin Ran smiled playfully and pushed his Golden Emperor Dragon Seal forward.

Adam Hammer, who now realized the futility of magical attacks, wanted to quickly switch his attack method, but it was already a little too late.

Hum!

Thus, this Golden Emperor Dragon Seal firmly imprinted itself onto Adam Hammer's chest.

Hum!

As this powerful sealing force invaded, the blue light in Adam Hammer's eyes seemed to dim slightly.

His limbs, which had been struggling frantically under the restraint of the Chains of Heaven, also became much less mobile due to this impact.

Witnessing Lin Ran's divine performance, the spectators and contestants who had initially doubted him after he was beaten with a single punch were stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't Adam Hammer already activate that Eternal Crystal overload mode? How is he still being dominated?"

"Yeah… his internal energy seems terrifyingly full, but it doesn't seem very effective in combat…"

"It's probably because his opponent is Lin Ran… look at him calmly bathing in the screen full of blue light. If it were you or me, could we do that?"

"Wouldn't we be annihilated by this blue light in an instant?"

"Definitely! My heavens, Adam Hammer's move made the protective barrier of the entire arena creak and groan…"

"You have to know, this protective barrier was specifically designed for Rank 10 powerhouses…"

"He could even have such a significant effect on this thing, let alone others."

"It can only be said that Lin Ran's methods are too perverted… and completely incomprehensible…"

"To be able to steadily suppress such an infinite-energy killing machine, I can hardly find any adjectives to describe this pervert!"

"But then again, under these circumstances, although Lin Ran has gained a huge advantage, how can he achieve true victory?"

"With the effect of the Eternal Crystal, no matter how much damage Adam Hammer sustains, he can recover at an extremely fast rate. He's simply an unkillable cockroach!"

"Even if one were to truly attempt to seal him, could a sealing skill really swallow such a large piece of flesh?"

"Difficult… extremely difficult… almost impossibly difficult…"

"Sealing, generally, requires defeating the opponent to a state of mental exhaustion and near death before it can be used and triggered."

"I've never heard of anyone being able to achieve a sealing effect when facing an enemy in their prime."

"And with mechanical ascension and Adam Hammer's endless energy, he will likely never fall into a state of mental exhaustion or near death. How can he be sealed?"

"What Lin Ran is doing now is, at most, limiting his output and burst speed…"

"Damn! If this doesn't work, then how else can Lin Ran fight!"

"Uh… we're not Lin Ran, why worry about that?"

"Even if we worry, we can't think of anything!"

"So, the key now is whether Lin Ran can think of something…"

"…"

After being hit by the Golden Emperor Dragon Seal, Adam Hammer let out another roar.

After all, there were already balls of Amaterasu burning within his body, and now a more surging and dominant golden dragon power had arrived, truly turning his insides upside down.

This forced him to draw more powerful energy from the Eternal Crystal to suppress the Golden Emperor Dragon Seal.

As a result, Adam Hammer's core energy utilization rate climbed a little higher.

Watching his usage rate gradually approach 100%, Lin Ran laughed happily.

Very good! Just like that! Keep increasing step by step!

When you reach 100%, I'll let you experience the power of the ultimate illusion!
