The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Mutual Destruction

The Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon, which had just consumed a piece of white bone, had become particularly ferocious, as though it had taken a potent elixir.

Although the Purple Thunder Tiger was somewhat bewildered, it had no choice but to engage in battle.

This was a grand battle between two Four Transformation Realm Demon Beasts, equivalent to two Spirit Vein Realm Martial Artists engaging in battle. Due to the nature of the beasts, this battle appeared more intense.

The weak Demon Beasts within a hundred-mile radius were frightened, scattering in all directions, while the more powerful Demon Beasts in the distance watched this confrontation silently.

In the beginning, the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon was able to hold its own against the Purple Thunder Tiger, thanks to the Boundless Stone. However, it soon showed signs of decline.

The Purple Thunder Tiger had a superior realm compared to the Flood Dragon.

After all, the Flood Dragon had just recently entered the Four Transformations Realm, while the Purple Thunder Tiger had been in it for a long time, giving it an edge in terms of realm.

The differences in their realms made the outcome of the battle foreseeable.

Thud!

The tiger’s claw strikes, dazzling with radiant lightning. The Flood Dragon was too slow to dodge and had several wounds slashed into its body, causing blood to flow freely.

At the same time, the Flood Dragon bit down hard on one of the Purple Thunder Tiger’s legs, attempting to tear it off.

The tiger roared in pain, its body flaring with thunderous light. The Flood Dragon let out a cry as it was injured by the power of thunder and lightning, and blood spurted from its mouth.

The advantage firmly with the Purple Thunder Tiger, it was relentless, charging forward and inflicting more wounds on the Flood Dragon with a swipe of its paw.

Blood was spilling continuously, and it seemed like the Mountain Devouring Flood Dragon was on the brink of death, about to be killed by the Purple Thunder Tiger at any moment.

Indeed, because of the difference in their realms, the Flood Dragon was no match for the Tiger, unless it had some other tricks up its sleeve. Without that, being killed by the Purple Thunder Tiger was just a matter of time.

But just then, the Purple Thunder Tiger seemed to have a problem. The leg that the Flood Dragon had bitten began to rot.

The Purple Thunder Tiger expressed shock and rage in its eyes. It had been poisoned.

Though the Flood Dragon had transformed from a python, the fierce poison still resided. The Flood Dragon had successfully poisoned the Purple Thunder Tiger.

The Purple Thunder Tiger roared continuously and fell into madness. The Flood Dragon’s poison was extraordinarily fierce. Only by consuming its Demon Core could the poison be neutralised.

At this moment, the Purple Thunder Tiger had one thought: kill the Flood Dragon as quickly as possible and consume its Demon Core to neutralise the poison.

For a while, both beasts were driven to madness. Neither wanted to die, so they fought with all their might, determined to kill the other without any regard for their own safety.

Thud!

The frenzy had made the Purple Thunder Tiger exceptionally powerful. It had gone so far as to rip out the Flood Dragon’s internal organs.

The Flood Dragon let out a terrified shriek, its body falling down weakly.

One of the Purple Thunder Tiger’s legs was rotting rapidly, but it was not in immediate danger. It directly chased the fallen Flood Dragon.

The Flood Dragon fell to the ground and threw the Boundless Stone, trying to stop the Purple Thunder Tiger. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed. The Purple Thunder Tiger easily dodged the Boundless Stone and then released the power of thunder and lightning.

The terrible purple thunder and lightning were like a fierce storm, continuously falling on the Flood Dragon’s body, causing its existing wounds to deepen.

The Flood Dragon was immobilized. It had suffered too much damage. There were blood-stained holes all over its body, one of them so deep it revealed the dragon’s internal organs.

These injuries were so severe that even if it managed to escape this time, its foundation would be damaged severely and permanently.

This Flood Dragon had just broken through and had suffered such critical injuries. Even a Flood Dragon couldn’t survive that.

The Purple Thunder Tiger landed, its eyes glowed with cold and brutality, and its only remaining leg was reduced to bare bone, making it look dreadful.

Even having to lose a leg as a price to kill the Flood Dragon was worthwhile in its eyes.

The Purple Thunder Tiger stepped on the Flood Dragon’s body, and a paw slashed down, creating a crack on the Flood Dragon’s body.

Just as the Purple Thunder Tiger was about to extract the Flood Dragon’s Demon Core, the head of the Flood Dragon suddenly leapt up, biting the tiger’s throat.

This caught the Tiger by surprise. It hadn’t expected that the Flood Dragon would still have the strength to resist at the brink of death.

The Purple Thunder Tiger struggled, its claws waved frantically, attempting to pry open the jaws of the Flood Dragon. However, the Flood Dragon held it tightly, not loosening its grip, fully intending to perish together with the Tiger.

With a “plop” sound, the tiger’s claw tore off the Flood Dragon’s skull. Despite the destruction, the Flood Dragon’s head still clamped onto the tiger’s throat.

At this moment, the Flood Dragon was still alive. The vitality of Demon Beasts was extraordinarily tenacious. After reaching the Four Transformations Realm, a slight amount of time could be gained for survival even after being decapitated.

But this would last only for a moment. With injuries like these, there was certainly no way out.

The Flood Dragon knew very well that its death was imminent. That’s why it had clenched onto the Purple Thunder Tiger’s throat before dying, to bring down this murderer with it.

The Purple Thunder Tiger was terrified, it violently tore and beat the Flood Dragon’s head. Even though the skull was smashed into a bloody mush, the Flood Dragon’s head was stuck to the Tiger’s body and couldn’t be removed.

The Flood Dragon’s poison invaded the tiger’s body. The Purple Thunder Tiger screamed in agony as its neck and then the rest of its body started to rot.

Struggling, the Purple Thunder Tiger crawled towards the body of the Flood Dragon, hoping to extract the Demon Core to neutralise the poison.

But just at that moment, numerous small snakes slithered out from the body of the Flood Dragon. They knotted together, forming a wall and halting the Purple Thunder Tiger’s progress.

The Purple Thunder Tiger’s eyes were wide with disbelief. It felt like it was going to burst with fury. Under normal circumstances, it could easily crush these small snakes with wavedemon Qi.

But now, it felt a sense of utter desperation.

The Purple Thunder Tiger, dragging its decaying body, vainly tore apart these small snakes, crawling towards the Flood Dragon’s body.

It was just a few steps away, almost within blinking distance. Half of the Purple Thunder Tiger’s body was already rotten, leaving its demon Qi on the verge of collapse. It was nearly dead.

Yet it had finally seen a glimmer of hope. The Flood Dragon’s body was just in front of it. If it could just move a bit forward, it could touch it.

As long as it consumed the Flood Dragon’s Demon Core, it could neutralise the poison, and as long as it was still alive, its injuries could heal.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mobilising the last bit of strength within its body, forcing out even the little power left in its Demon Core, the Purple Thunder Tiger moved towards the Flood Dragon’s body.

Finally, the Purple Thunder Tiger reached the Flood Dragon’s body. A hint of excitement was visible in its decaying face.

Its only intact claw reached out, penetrating the Flood Dragon’s body, digging out the Demon Core that could save its life.

“Oh, this is a nice Demon Core, I’ll take it.” Just as it did so, a voice echoed out, freezing the Purple Thunder Tiger’s body on the spot.
