The Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon roared as it fled, seemingly having lost all will to fight.
Wu Liang gave chase, unleashing a blazing claw attack that severely wounded the dragon, leaving several deep, bone-revealing gashes on its body.
With the support of the three great wills, his strength was more than enough to kill a Sixth Rank peak expert easily!
The boost from the Invincible Will was simply terrifying!
The Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon stopped running and immediately lay down on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Awooo! (Please spare my life, I shouldn't have spat on you, I apologize, please spare my life!)"
What it initially thought was a reckless intruder into its territory now appeared to be a butcher coming to take its life!
Besides the Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon clan, this Winter Secret Place actually harbored such terrifying beasts.
Wu Liang sneered.
"Maybe in the next life. In this one, you have no hope."
Wu Liang extended his claws and gripped the dragon's neck. An overwhelming divine power erupted, and the Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon died instantly.
A Sixth Rank peak was worth a considerable amount of evolution points. Killing a few more magical beasts would be enough to upgrade his Devouring Domain to Level 50!
Wu Liang tossed it into his mouth, preparing to feast.
The next moment, the entire Winter Secret Place trembled, and a gigantic ice tornado swept out.
Wu Liang, who had only eaten half of his meal, was stunned.
This power was extremely strong, far surpassing even a Seventh Rank Insect King.
Suddenly, a pair of scarlet beastly eyes appeared within the icy tornado, followed by a hundred-meter-long, ice-blue dragon's body.
An Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon!!
Wu Liang's eyes widened. "Holy crap, I only killed a Sixth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon; did this attract an Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon now?!"
The Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon roared at Wu Liang, its explosive power raging wildly.
At once, he understood: the Sixth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon was its offspring...
So, the Sixth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon's roars as it fled were a cry for help from its mother. Wu Liang had thought it was some kind of peculiar fetish.
Wu Liang gulped, swallowing the Ice-Scaled Dragon completely, and then began to flee.
The Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon couldn't fly, while on the other hand, he had wings, so escaping would be easy.
At least, that was the theory.
With his phoenix wings flapping rapidly, Wu Liang transformed into a streak of fiery light and soared into the sky.
The Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon relentlessly pursued him.
Not only that, it was hovering in mid-air, almost like it was flying.
"Flying using ice tornadoes formed with the power of ice?! That works, huh?!"
Wu Liang muttered under his breath as he increased the speed.
An Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon was far beyond his current capabilities.
Even though an Invincible Will could crush the opponent's Icy Will, the opponent's raw strength was undeniable; even without willpower, a single slap could take half of Wu Liang's life.
"Stop chasing me, okay? Your son melted in my mouth. I've already finished him off. What's the point of chasing me? Even if I threw him up, he wouldn't survive!"
Since he's already dead, might as well make the most of his last moments and give him a good meal.
But the Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon still chased him relentlessly for three whole days on its Ice Tornado.
During those three days, Wu Liang found a few decent-level Snow Wolves along the way and devoured them, replenishing his strength and gaining evolution points.
And finally, on this day, he gathered enough evolution points to upgrade his Devouring Domain to level 50!
As Wu Liang upgraded his skill, dark waves rippled around him, and his Devouring Domain began to pulsate as if it were alive and breathing.
With each pulsation, the Devouring Domain grew stronger, while simultaneously shrinking towards Wu Liang.
Within a few breaths, the ink-like domain condensed into a dark singularity, and this small singularity possessed incredible power.
Wu Liang's face was filled with undisguised joy.
"Just as I thought! Level 50 Devouring Domain allows me to perfectly control it and unleash the power of the Domain Singularity!"
With this thought, Wu Liang hurled the Devouring Domain Singularity fiercely at the Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon chasing after him.
There was a terrifying collision with the Ice Tornado, but all the energy was absorbed by the singularity, which then increased its power by a whole level.
Boom!
The Ice Tornado exploded violently, and the surrounding icy energy became wild and chaotic.
Just one Devouring Domain Singularity could completely shatter even the Ice Tornado formed by an Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Dragon, a power that astonished Wu Liang.
Although it couldn't harm the Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon, this meant that Wu Liang, using the Domain Singularity, possessed the ability to resist attacks from Eighth Rank magical beasts!
It was truly extraordinary.
"As expected of a powerhouse at the Imperial Rank, the Domain Singularity is a product of perfect domain control, and its power is terrifying. My ability to break the Ice Tornado is partly due to the inherent strength of my Devouring Power!"
If it were a lower-level domain, like a common Fire or Earth Domain, it would be impossible to break the Ice Tornado so easily.
The Devouring Domain could absorb external objects to strengthen itself, and combined with its high-level attribute foundation, this allowed it to unleash such terrifying power.
Seeing this, the Eighth Rank Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon landed in the snowfield below, glaring angrily at Wu Liang, but did not continue its pursuit.
Without the Ice Tornado, it had lost its ability to fly, making it impossible to catch up with Wu Liang.
The Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon finally retreated, returning to the center of the Winter Secret Place.
Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk tsk, if I hadn't used the power of my Domain Singularity, this Ice-Scaled Flood Dragon would most likely have continued chasing me unless I left the Winter Secret Place."
With powerful experts from Beiming Martial University guarding the outside of the secret place, these magical beasts couldn't leave at all.
But Wu Liang wasn't willing to be driven out like this. He needed to absorb some more evolution points here to upgrade his skills.
Now, he was certain that a major change would occur after his skills reached Level 50, and other skills might also change.
What he needed to do was upgrade all his skills to Level 50 and unleash their full power.
While Wu Liang continued hunting magical beasts in the Winter Secret Place, some uninvited guests arrived at the Beiming Martial Arts University.
The reason, naturally, was Wu Liang's Invincible Will.
Everyone wanted to witness the true Invincible Will and, at the same time, hoped to defeat Wu Liang and, by stealing his invincible spirit, comprehend their own Invincible Will.
"We've been here for days, why hasn't the Taotie shown up yet? Could the Invincible Will be a lie? No one has been able to comprehend it in all these years, how could a ferocious beast possibly do so?!"
"It's unlikely to be a lie. Beiming Martial Arts University wouldn't embarrass itself like that. Since they dared to spread the news of the Invincible Will, it must be true!"
"Legend has it that the Qin Emperor unified the world by comprehending the Invincible Will. This shows how terrifying this will is. Some even say that whoever possesses it can rule the world. This time, I'm determined to see the true nature of this Invincible Will!"
