Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 236 237: Cave Collapse

The giant snake stared at the Thunder Crows in the sky, not daring to make a reckless move. Although it could be considered the overlord of this High-Level Demon Beast Region, it was terrified of the hundreds of Thunder Crows. Their imnse Thunder Power was no laughing matter—it could heavily injure or even kill the snake at any mont.

Ye Tian wanted to absorb more of the Thunder Crows' Thunder Power, but the birds in the sky seed to have stopped entering the cave. They just circled overhead, periodically letting out mournful cries that were painful to hear.

Soon, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python shrank its body, flew over, and said to Ye Tian, "Boss, devouring the bodies of those Thunder Crows feels amazing! If I could eat a few dozen, I'm sure I could break through to my Third Wing."

"A few dozen? Are you kidding ? Do you really think those Thunder Crows are idiots? Look, they're not coming in anymore!" Ye Tian said, rolling his eyes at the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python.

"They're not coming in? I'll just find a way to lure them. But this cave isn't very stable. If too many Thunder Crows co in, they might shake it enough to cause a collapse. So, we have to find a way to kill them the instant they enter," the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said.

Ye Tian and Lin Ling both stared at him, wondering how he planned to lure in the Thunder Crows. But they knew he wasn't bluffing, so they both nodded in agreent.

The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python slowly flew to the mouth of the cave, but didn't go out. It opened its small mouth slightly and spat out a fragnt of a Thunder Attribute Magic Crystal, which had naturally co from the Thunder Crow it had devoured earlier.

After spitting out the Magic Crystal Fragnt, it quickly returned to the cave. "Boss, you guys get ready. This ti we might lure in more than ten Thunder Crows!" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said nervously.

"Don't worry, Ye Lin. If those Thunder Crows dare to co in, I'll make sure it's a one-way trip!" Ye Tian declared with confidence. However, it was a bit comical for a Martial Artist at only the Second Vein Seventh Layer to say such a thing to a Tier Four Demon Beast.

Sure enough, when the flock of Thunder Crows in the sky saw the Magic Crystal Fragnt, they once again let out a series of mournful cries. It was hard to believe how united these creatures were.

A few Thunder Crows swooped down from the sky and into the cave. Ye Tian, Lin Ling, and the Poison King Lizard were already poised to strike. Every crow that entered was hit, though the one struck by Ye Tian suffered the lightest injuries.

The attacks from Lin Ling, the Poison King Lizard, and the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python were the most devastating, instantly grounding several of the Thunder Crows. Only the one Ye Tian had attacked could still fly within the cave. The gap in their Attack Power left Ye Tian feeling quite frustrated.

Imdiately after, a few more Thunder Crows flew in and were similarly heavily wounded. The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said, "Boss, let's go absorb the Thunder Energy. Let the Poison King Lizard and Instructor Lin guard the entrance. We can't let any more Thunder Crows in, or the consequences will be severe."

Lin Ling understood Ye Lin's point imdiately. She moved to the cave mouth, guarding it with her full attention. anwhile, the Poison King Lizard began spewing an unending stream of venom, completely coating the area around the entrance.

Lin Ling saw that this venom could actually corrode the surrounding cave walls with ease. Gradually, the cave entrance widened considerably, but for the mont, the Thunder Crows didn't dare to approach.

Although the injured Thunder Crows had lost their ability to fly, they could still use Thunder Attacks. Several bolts of lightning struck towards the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python and Ye Tian, but the man and beast didn't dodge at all, instead absorbing it with all their might.

Ye Tian's absorption speed was actually a bit faster than the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python's. The only downside was that the pain he suffered was much greater. Every ti he was hit by the Thunder Power, he felt an agony worse than death.

But once the pain subsided, the invigorating sensation of his body flooding with Energy was exhilarating. It was the perfect embodint of pain and pleasure.

The Thunder Power was constantly transforming Ye Tian's body, slowly expelling impurities. At this mont, he looked as if he had just climbed out of a sewer. Except for his eyes, which were still normal, the rest of him was covered in a black substance.

The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, on the other hand, attacked the Thunder Crows with its most powerful attacks. The already injured birds were no match for it, and within monts, two of them were killed.

anwhile, Ye Tian was fighting the remaining airborne Thunder Crow. His strategy was primarily to absorb its Thunder Power. Despite the intense pain, he managed to gain a significant amount.

Before long, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python had killed all the grounded Thunder Crows, leaving only the one still in the air. By now, however, the flying crow's Thunder Power was nearly spent. The python simply finished it off with two powerful strikes.

The Thunder Power inside Ye Tian's body was increasing, and it felt like it was about to surpass the Dragon Spiritual Power within him. If this continued, it would beco difficult to control.

At this mont, he was circulating the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body with all his might. If one looked closely, they might be able to see the light of lightning flashing within Ye Tian's eyes.

The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python reverted to its original form and swallowed all the slain Thunder Crows. This ti, it truly had a hearty al. It began absorbing all of the Thunder Power from the crows' bodies.

The entrance, guarded by the Poison King Lizard's potent venom, kept the Thunder Crows at bay for the mont. However, the earlier attacks had already caused serious damage to the cave. Now, huge rocks were constantly falling from the ceiling.

"Ye Tian, hurry! The cave is about to collapse!" Lin Ling shouted anxiously. If they didn't get out now, they might all be buried alive.

But going outside ant facing the Thunder Crows in the sky. They were truly caught in a dilemma, but escape had to be their first priority.

Ye Tian knew the situation well. Although his body was in agony, he had to leave. The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python also shrank in an instant and said to him, "Boss, let's go!"

Thus, Lin Ling and the Poison King Lizard quickly exited the cave. Ye Tian left behind an afterimage as he rushed out with the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python. But in the instant he reached the entrance, a crisp cracking sound suddenly echoed from within his body.

This crisp sound signified his breakthrough to the Second Vein Eighth Layer. To advance in such a short amount of ti just by absorbing Thunder Power was sothing he had never anticipated.

RUMBLE! A deafening roar erupted behind Ye Tian and Lin Ling as the cave collapsed. If they had been just a second later, they would have been buried alive. Without the strength of a cultivator Above Five Veins, it would be impossible to survive. It was a truly narrow escape.

However, the Thunder Crows in the sky were now enraged. Not a single one of the crows that had flown inside had co back out. For the extrely united flock, this was devastating news. One by one, they let out mournful cries, and bolts of Thunder Power rained down from the sky, striking toward Ye Tian, Lin Ling, and the others...
