Chapter 628: Chapter 255: King Bomb Collision! Lin Ye VS Xia Lianxue

However, Xia Lianxue’s rate of attack was too fast—terrifyingly so!

He had just dodged a Thunder Arrow falling from the sky when sharp earth spikes would shoot out from under his feet without warning.

Just as he knocked away an exploding fireball with the shaft of his spear, he was met with a light-distorting Shadow Arrow.

He wanted to close the distance, but every attempt to charge forward was brutally thwarted by Xia Lianxue’s even more ferocious ranged firepower, or by the sudden appearance of vines and wind walls.

In this open altar area, Xia Lianxue, longbow in hand, demonstrated an absolute and seemingly insurmountable dominance!

For the first time in a fight, Lin Ye found himself in the humiliating predicament of being able to do nothing but passively dodge.

VMMMM—!

An invisible domain centered on Lin Ye abruptly expanded outward.

’Passively dodging and being kited like a target was never my style.’

[Celestial Attraction of Myriad Phenomena]!

In an instant, the gravity of the altar area was forcefully altered by a brutish, unstoppable power!

And the focal point of this distorted gravity converged precisely on the elegant, composed purple figure in mid-air.

Xia Lianxue let out a muffled grunt. Her form, which had been levitating gracefully with the help of the Wind Element, was suddenly seized as if by a giant, invisible hand and sent plummeting toward the ground!

The feeling was as if an entire majestic mountain range had materialized out of thin air and was pressing down on her shoulders.

The terrifying pressure caused the elemental flow within her body to stagnate for a moment.

She hadn’t yet had time to summon more of the Wind Element to counteract this pull.

The next instant, Lin Ye’s figure became a black line tearing through the air, leaving a series of jagged afterimages on the ground as he instantly closed the distance between them to less than ten meters!

[Instant Body]!

A cold glint flashed in Xia Lianxue’s ice-blue eyes. Faced with Lin Ye’s thunderous charge, she showed not a hint of panic. Instead, she made a completely unexpected move.

The elemental longbow she wielded instantly dissipated. In its place, a burst of pure white light, so brilliant it was blinding, erupted from her body!

Lin Ye’s retinas were instantly engulfed in a dazzling expanse of pure white. Even though he reacted with lightning speed and shut his eyes, the intensely piercing light still flooded his vision, leaving him temporarily blind.

Through the disorienting haze, a terrifying wave of heat hot enough to melt gold and iron washed over him!

Lin Ye’s vision recovered rapidly. He opened his eyes again, only to be met with the sight of a colossal fireball, at least three or four meters in diameter and wreathed in crimson flames, hurtling toward him with unstoppable force!

In that split second, Lin Ye advanced instead of retreating. Countless fine, pitch-black scales materialized on his skin, instantly covering his entire body.

[Shadow Scale]!

BOOM—!!!

The colossal fireball exploded violently in front of Lin Ye. The frenzied shockwave of fire scorched the ground for dozens of meters in every direction, turning it to blackened earth.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Ye was standing in the same spot, completely unscathed.

His own racial traits already provided extremely high elemental resistance. Combined with the additional fire damage mitigation from Shadow Scale, Xia Lianxue’s hastily conjured attack failed to even make him flinch, let alone retreat half a step.

However, this short delay was already enough.

Lin Ye looked up. Xia Lianxue’s figure had already reappeared hundreds of meters away, high in the sky, once again putting a safe distance between them.

She levitated there silently, her ice-blue eyes gazing down at Lin Ye, showing no hint of surprise. It was as if everything was completely under her control.

"Your Defense Power against elemental attacks is higher than I expected."

Her cool, detached voice echoed through the air, devoid of any emotion. "But this is where it ends."

The moment her words fell, Xia Lianxue slowly closed her eyes.

She opened her arms, as if to embrace the entire world.

"Elemental... Ascension!"

Following her ethereal whisper, the very atmosphere of the battlefield changed in an instant!

Within a radius of several kilometers, all free elemental energies—be it the howling gales in the air, the dormant earth deep below, or even the faint wisps of death and darkness lingering in the skeletal remains of dragons...

At this moment, as if answering a supreme divine decree, all of it transformed into billions of dazzling, multicolored ribbons of light that, like a thousand rivers flowing to the sea, surged madly toward Xia Lianxue’s body!

An immense, seven-colored elemental vortex formed above the altar.

And Xia Lianxue was the center of that vortex!

Her body, infused with a sea of elemental energy, began to undergo an astonishing metamorphosis.

Her skin became translucent and crystalline, like the purest glass. What flowed within her was no longer blood, but a radiant river of seven-colored light.

Her long hair drifted as if weightless, each strand shimmering with the light of a different element. The aura she now exuded was sacred and vast, like that of a true goddess who commanded the very laws of the universe.

Her weapon, Celestial Decree, also dissolved completely in this elemental torrent, reforming into twelve fist-sized Elemental Magic Balls, each a different color and attribute, which began to circle slowly around her.

A complete, total Elementalization!

SWOOSH!

The very instant she completed her metamorphosis, one of the pure white Light Element Magic Balls orbiting her flared brightly.

A white beam, as thin as a hair but moving at a speed that surpassed the limits of thought, instantly crossed the hundreds of meters between them and shot toward Lin Ye!

’Too fast!’

It was so fast that while Lin Ye’s mind registered the threat, his body nearly failed to keep up!

He only had enough time to twist his torso slightly to the side.

TSSST—!

A wisp of smoke rose into the air. Lin Ye looked down to see that his tough skin had been pierced through the chest. The flesh was seared and peeled back, leaving a scorched, blackened wound.
