Beast Taming, I transform into a divine beast of calamity.

Beyond the ruins of space.

The moment the heavy hatch opened, the cold and deathly vacuum was completely exposed.

There was only endless darkness and floating metal debris all around.

Xia Yu took a step forward.

Its silvery-white body stands out in the deep space, and the invisible barrier formed by its strange protection flows quietly, completely isolating it from vacuum, radiation, and extreme cold.

Fine arcs of electricity pulsed slowly along his body, like a layer of cold, desolate, and dangerous light.

Not far ahead, the Ice Dragon finally stopped swimming.

Its enormous and ferocious dragon body coiled among the ruins of the universe, surrounded by black and blue ice crystals, like a frozen ring of death.

Amidst the ruins of the universe, two figures stand facing each other from afar.

Xia Yu stood suspended, electric arcs coursing around his body, and an invisible barrier formed by a strange protective force distorted the light.

There was no emotion in his silver pupils, only a calm.

On the other side, the Ice Dragon coiled in the dark depths of space, its massive body resembling a frozen mountain of calamity, surrounded by dark blue ice crystals that rose and fell slightly with each breath.

Neither side made the first move.

But the quieter it was, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.

Debris floated all around, trembling constantly as the two cataclysmic auras collided, scattering fine ice shards and sparks of electricity, as if the entire universe had become their battlefield.

This filled the deep space with a terrifying sense of impending doom.

The Ice Dragon stared at Xia Yu and let out a strange roar.

This is a warning.

It means this is its territory.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu gave the enormous dragon-shaped monster in front of him a cold look.

The surrounding ice shards were not ordinary.

It contains a deadly poison.

It's a special toxin belonging to the Ice Dragon, which can adhere to non-flammable metal ice and gradually penetrate the target's body as it freezes and corrodes.

Any metal debris covered by this toxic ice will become brittle and crumble under the combined effects of low temperature and toxicity.

Inside the warehouse, the magical fire fox kept its eyes glued to the outside screen.

"Beware of its poison."

"The most dangerous thing about the Ice Dragon is not just the ice itself, but also the corrosive toxins mixed in with the metallic ice."

"That kind of toxin can persist in the cosmic environment for a long time, and once it attaches to something, it will cause a lot of trouble later."

Unfortunately, Xia Yu didn't care about these toxins.

Because the first batch of poisonous ice to drift in stopped abruptly the moment it touched the invisible barrier around him.

No penetration.

There was no spread.

There was not even the slightest sign of successful attachment.

All toxins and all corrosive energy mixed in the ice crystals were as if they had hit a barrier that absolutely refused any external interference, and were firmly blocked outside the strange protection.

Tiny ice crystals slid along the edge of the barrier, like a layer of dark blue ice mist, silently dispersing several meters away from Xia Yu.

This result did not surprise the Magic Fox and the others, after all, Xia Yu possessed a unique protective ability.

The most insidious part of the Ice Dragon's abilities is ineffective against Xia Yu.

And the Ice Dragon was clearly aware of this as well.

Its pair of dark blue dragon eyes stared intently at the invisible yet real barrier surrounding Xia Yu, and a low, violent rumble rolled from deep within its throat.

The next second, it suddenly opened its mouth!

A chilling blue aura burst forth!

The power of the moon!

Cold, deathly still, and carrying a frozen aura like the cold moon in the deep space, it compressed into a destructive torrent and crashed down on Xia Yu head-on.

Wherever the moonlit, eerie blue light passed, vast swathes of cosmic debris instantly froze.

Inside those frozen wreckages, fine cracks began to appear under the continued erosion of the moon's power.

Click!

The cracks continued to spread.

Finally, the entire frozen wreckage area collapsed with a roar, turning into a sky full of icy dust, like a dark blue, destructive snowstorm.

Xia Yu did not stand still to take the hit.

His figure flashed.

Instant teleportation activated!

Xia Yu appeared directly above a broken alloy plate several hundred meters away.

"Fairy-type Moon Power, but when used with the Ice Dragon ability, it will have an additional Ice-type freezing effect."

The ability of the Glacial Drake is called Ice Plague.

All direct damage skills have a freezing effect.

At this moment, the Ice Dragon pounced forward again.

It doesn't care why the toxin is ineffective, because for it, what's truly terrifying is never just the toxin.

The dragon claw swung down!

Dozens of dark blue ice blades instantly materialized, like a frozen rain of knives, tearing through the ruins of the universe and pressing down on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu raised his hand and fired a fireball.

Crimson flames exploded in the deep sky. Although there was no grand fire curtain in the atmosphere, the extreme heat still forcefully shattered large areas of ice blades.

The next second, he spread his five fingers.

【gravity.】

hum!

An invisible pressure suddenly descended.

The large area of ​​debris and ice crystals in the area where the Ice Dragon was located sank at the same time, and even its huge dragon body showed obvious signs of stagnation.

The surrounding toxic ice and non-flammable metal ice were also slowed down by this heavy pressure, and the originally covering area spread much slower.

However, the Ice Dragon doesn't need to compete with Xia Yu in speed at all.

As a truly top-tier natural disaster-taming beast, it also quickly discerned Xia Yu's fighting style during the brief exchange.

Therefore, the Ice Dragon did not rush close, but instead chose the safest, and most deadly, approach.

Continue to suppress the battlefield with the power most effective against Xia Yu.

The next second, it raised its dragon head high.

The black and blue ice crystals around him resonated simultaneously, and the cold power of the moon spread out in layers throughout the universe.

Immediately afterwards, countless beams of pale blue moonlight shot out from all directions, like a huge and chilling net, completely covering the area where Xia Yu was located.

The cold current of the moon compressed to its extreme.

Each ray of moonlight carried the terrifying destructive power resulting from the fusion of fairy and ice elements, exerting a strong restraining effect on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and his figure flickered continuously.

Instant teleportation was activated repeatedly, forcibly tearing a path to survival amidst the dense moonlight.

While dodging, Xia Yu did not stop his counterattack.

He raised his hand and unleashed bolts of lightning, the silvery-white currents tearing through the vacuum and rushing straight at the Ice Calamity Dragon's body like angry snakes.

However, thick ice walls had already risen around the Ice Dragon.

The surface of those ice walls shimmered with a dark blue sheen.

The moment the lightning struck, it was constantly refracted, dispersed, and deflected.

The electric current, which was originally powerful enough to penetrate a formidable enemy, was greatly reduced in power after being refracted through layers of refraction. By the time it actually hit the Ice Dragon, it was less than half of its original strength.

Xia Yu frowned slightly.

Unable to get close, and with the lightning weakened, continuing like this will only make us more and more passive.

Both being calamity-level beast tamers, they were locked in a stalemate.

This will attract the covetous eyes of those lurking instigators in the Beast Taming Alliance.

Just then, a gentle wave of mental energy suddenly came from inside the base and accurately entered Xia Yu's mind.

"Lord Yaori, do you need my assistance?"

"Um?"

The Deep Sea Witch's voice remained gentle, yet carried a hint of seriousness.

"I have a skill called immersion in water."

"Soaking in water can forcibly change the target's attributes for a short period of time, turning it into a water-based attribute."

Water system...

It is countered by Electric and Grass types.

In other words, as long as one rewrites their own attributes in a short period of time, they can use the unique protection feature to completely avoid the most dangerous restraining effect of the moon's power.

Having considered this, Xia Yu nodded slowly.

"Can."

next second.

A drop of water is ejected from a vacuum!

Silently passing through the vacuum of space, it plunged straight into Xia Yu's silver body.

A sudden change occurred.

The strange protective aura that had been surrounding Xia Yu began to slowly change.

On that almost transparent, invisible barrier, circles of deep blue ripples appeared, like ripples spreading across a calm sea under the moonlight.

At the same time, the originally wildly flowing silvery-white currents around it seemed to be forcibly reversed by some force, gradually converging and settling, transforming into deeper and more profound water system fluctuations.

Xia Yu's silver body was also quickly covered by deep blue at this moment.

The nature of the attribute has been forcibly rewritten.

Deep blue lines spread along his arms, chest, waist, abdomen, and tail, and his aura suddenly became as calm and oppressive as the deep sea.

At this moment, water element completely enveloped Xia Yu's entire body.

[Attribute changed, currently classified as: Water!]
