Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

In a flash, Lin Wan took a deep breath. The scorching air stung his lungs, but it also made him more focused.

With a thought, the ice-blue domain that originally enveloped him for two meters suddenly shone brightly.

Like an ice lotus bursting open in the deep sea, the boundaries of the extreme cold illusion rapidly expanded, instantly reaching a diameter of ten meters.

An even stronger, more piercing chill spread wildly from Lin Wan's center, causing the temperature within the domain to plummet below freezing. Moisture in the air was instantly frozen, turning into countless tiny ice crystals that floated and danced, shimmering with a cold, star-like light under the domain's illumination.

The area encompassed a large section of the narrow road ahead.

The moment the expansion of the domain was completed, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King moved.

Its enormous dark golden body transformed into a blurry golden shadow, its three heads simultaneously emitting ear-piercing shrieks, its six scarlet eyes locking onto Lin Wan, and its massive wings flapping violently.

Boom!

A sudden gust of wind arose; it was not an ordinary airflow, but a shockwave mixed with a strong, bloody soul force.

Using the force of this fan, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King charged towards Lin Wan like a cannonball.

Wherever it passed, the remaining ordinary blood bats in the darkness on both sides were swept by the aftershocks and exploded into blood mist with screams.

too fast!

Although Lin Wan had anticipated this, such speed still exceeded the range of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Clearly, nurtured by the unique environment of Hell Road, this Bat King has undergone some kind of mutation, making it stronger than its counterparts outside.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious three-headed giant shadow had already rushed to the edge of the domain!

laugh

The expected sweeping breakthrough did not occur.

The moment the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King entered the ten-meter-diameter Extreme Cold Illusionary Realm, its charging momentum visibly faltered.

It was like a wild bull charging at full speed suddenly crashing into thick, icy slurry.

The omnipresent extreme cold power within the domain relentlessly eroded its dark golden outer skin.

A layer of pale blue frost, visible to the naked eye, spread at an astonishing speed from its claws and the edges of its wings, making a faint "crackling" freezing sound.

At the same time, that tranquil, hypnotic mental fluctuation seeped into its three heads, attempting to disrupt its violent consciousness.

"squeak!"

The central head of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King let out an angry howl, clearly enraged by the sudden obstruction and chill.

Its six scarlet eyes blazed with ferocity. Although its charge slowed, it did not stop. Its frost-covered giant claws continued to claw fiercely at Lin Wan's location.

Lin Wan's footwork shifted, and her figure slid half a step to the side and back like a ghost.

The moment he moved, the left head of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King suddenly opened its massive maw!

A dark red ripple, visible to the naked eye and distorting the air, spread out like water, reaching the spot where Lin Wan had originally stood at an astonishing speed.

Lin Wan's eyes narrowed, and she managed to dodge the ripples just before they hit her.

But the narrow path beneath his feet wasn't so lucky.

hum!

Dark red ripples swept silently across that narrow road.

next moment.

Snap! Boom!

The sturdy path shattered instantly, like glass struck by an invisible hammer.

A narrow section of the path, two or three meters long, was completely reduced to dust, with rubble mixed with ice crystals falling into the abyss below.

The spot where Lin Wan had stood had now become a chilling fault line.

so close!

If he had been even a fraction slower in dodging and had been hit directly by that ripple, even with his current physique, he would probably have been seriously injured, or even thrown directly into the abyss.

Seeing that its first attack had missed, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King turned its three heads simultaneously, its six eyes fixed on Lin Wan, and saliva dripped from its ferocious mouthparts, clearly preparing for its next attack.

We can't let it continue to release those ripples.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. Taking advantage of the brief moment when the Bat King's speed decreased significantly after rushing into the domain and when it had just released its skill, he slammed his hands together in front of his chest.

A surge of immense soul power erupted from his body, rapidly compressing and condensing between his palms.

Since we can't use soul skills, let's use the purest soul power to impact.

"go with!"

Lin Wan let out a low shout and thrust both palms forward!

A solid, ice-blue soul power shockwave, over half a meter in diameter, roared like an ice dragon bursting from its shell, hurtling towards the central head of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the chill within the area seemed to be drawn in, coating its surface with a layer of sharp ice spikes.

This is a soul power release that incorporates the characteristics of the extreme cold domain, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary soul power impact.

The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King clearly sensed the danger of this attack.

Its crimson pupils suddenly contracted, emitting a sharp, piercing shriek.

Just as the icy blue soul power shockwave was about to hit it.

Wow!

The massive dark gold body of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King exploded without warning.

It transformed into countless small bats, each the size of a palm, with a dark gold body and glowing red eyes.

Hundreds and thousands of them, densely packed, like a dark golden cloud that suddenly burst open, instantly filled a large area of ​​the domain.

Its ability to create clones and evade attacks.

Lin Wan's attack, imbued with immense soul power, slammed into the swarm of dark gold bats, instantly freezing and shattering dozens of small bats that couldn't dodge in time into ice shards. However, many more dark gold bats squeaked and scattered, avoiding the main impact.

tricky!

Lin Wan frowned slightly.

This ability to create clones is indeed troublesome. Not only can it evade fatal attacks, but these small bats, though seemingly scattered, are actually still under the control of the main body and can reassemble at any time, or launch attacks from various angles.

Countless dark gold bats darted around within the domain. They were small in size and relatively less affected by the domain's extreme cold slowing effect. Moreover, their sheer number made it too inefficient to kill them with soul power needles.

We cannot afford to be passively defensive!

Lin Wan's mind raced as she recalled the weakness mentioned in the original work: three heads!

Once all three heads are destroyed simultaneously, its ability to create clones will cease to regenerate.

So let's find a way to... get them back together!

A glint flashed in Lin Wan's eyes. Instead of expanding her attack range, she made a seemingly risky move.

He slowly reduced the range of his domain!

The ten-meter radius began to shrink inward, the light gradually dimmed, and the chill lessened. From ten meters, to eight meters, then to five meters…

The shrinking territory means a decrease in the ability to suppress Dark Gold Bats.

Sure enough, the dark gold bats that had been lingering at the edge of the domain, hesitant and fearful, noticed that the chill that had made them stiff was weakening, and immediately began to squeak and become restless.

The dark gold bats that were flying around in the area also became more active.

Chapter 359 Kill

When the area shrank to only about three meters around Lin Wan, the anomaly occurred again.

Buzz

As if receiving a silent command, all the scattered dark gold bats turned around in unison, transforming into streaks of dark gold light that rapidly converged towards a certain spot above Lin Wan's head.

They collided and merged, and a brilliant dark golden light shone forth.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous dark gold three-headed bat king figure once again materialized not far in front of Lin Wan.

It seemed to have judged that Lin's strength was waning in his later years, and that this was the perfect opportunity to launch a decisive attack.

The three heads rose high, their massive mouths opening simultaneously, and a dark red light rapidly brewed within their gaping maws.

It will release three bloodthirsty, frenzied ripples simultaneously, completely sealing off all of Lin Wan's escape routes.

It's now!

Lin Wan was waiting for this moment when it condensed its true form and prepared to unleash its ultimate move.

"Domain Limit Freeze!"

Almost at the same instant that the Bat King's figure fully materialized and the red light in his mouth reached its peak brightness, a burst of blue light flashed in Lin Wan's eyes.

The icy blue domain, which had shrunk to only three meters, rebounded suddenly, like a spring that had been suppressed to its limit.

This time, the domain erupted, carrying all of Lin Wan's extremely cold intent and soul power.

hum!

A halo of ice-blue light, several times brighter than before, suddenly exploded out from Lin Wan's center.

Wherever the halo swept across, the air crackled and froze, and the temperature plummeted to an absolute zero in an instant.

This cold wave is no longer a gentle erosion and slowing effect, but an instantaneous freeze.

The crimson light from the mouths of the three heads of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King had barely been released when the extreme chill swept over them!

Click, click, click...

A series of teeth-grinding freezing sounds rang out.

The Bat King's massive body was covered with a layer of azure ice, about a foot thick, at a visible speed.

From claws to wings, from body to neck, and finally three hideous heads.

Its movements froze completely, and even the three dark red ripples that were about to erupt were frozen in its mouth, maintaining a distorted energy form, but unable to move forward even an inch.

The entire Bat King was transformed into a huge, lifelike dark gold ice sculpture.

Only the six scarlet eyes beneath the ice could still move slightly, revealing endless shock, anger, and fear.
