Like six black holes, millions of bodies were sucked into those vortexes and the ball of flesh began to drastically shrink. At the first roar, Dao Ma shuddered, and his eyes were filled with fear and desire.
As a reptilian god, he had a certain resonance with the Ouroboros Serpents, and he could feel the power of whatever these beasts were and it left him in amazement. Could he tame and control such a power? If he could, he could transform the very essence of his being, and become a greater creature, perhaps surpassing a Major god and becoming a High god.
He had already resolved himself that the beast he saw was an illusion, his enemy was capable, but nothing he had shown him had proven he could ever control a power such as this and the sound he heard was just the last gasp of an imprisoned foe.
But then he heard the second roar and the third, he was shaken and his Ascension was nearly disrupted but when he heard more roars, he was relieved, for surely the existence of even one of such creatures was improbable, to have six of them was sheer insanity.
'This should be among the damned illusion he must be creating, my mind must not be shaken by this!'
He waited for a short while and nothing changed and he decided it was all fake.
He stepped on the third Eternal Flower, and even as the pain and information flooded his mind, he still felt a bit of relief. He would have no chance to quickly finish Rowan off because he was occupied, but if his enemy had resorted to using illusion to battle, then he must be quite desperate, he had a bigger threat consuming his Divine Kingdom, that should be what should be taking most of his attention.
His consolation was short-lived when he sensed it, even while his mind was occupied and his flesh was in intense pain, he still felt a sensation like what a mouse would feel when it is gazed upon by a snake. It was this chilling sensation in the back of the neck that mortals felt when fear had overtaken their hearts, and their death would come in the next breath.
'By the Heavens! Don't tell me creatures like these can exist inside the universe. No, I will not believe it, this is not real, it's an illusion.'
lightsnοvεl.cοm Because he was going through a trial, he could not sense what was happening outside the Eternal Flower unless he surpassed this trial.
What he could do however was to accelerate the rate by which his beasts exited his kingdom, yet he could not burn too much power in his Divine Spark else his Ascension would fail, but he had built up enough resources to power his offense and defense at full speed for an entire year even without his direct supervision against a dozen Minor gods attacking at the same time. freёwebnoѵel.com
There was no way his foundation could be destroyed this quickly, he would win this fight, after all, if he was successful his Ascension should take at most six months.
Rowan's Absolute Body had grown a lot from devouring the Berserker Tribulation and Seeding 212 Minor Worlds, and this growth was better reflected in the body of his Ouroboros Serpents.
The flesh ball had been growing steadily larger with the influx of new beasts furiously pushed by Dao Ma, but his Ouroboros Serpent did not feel any pressure, in fact, it was the opposite.
Rowan had always limited their movements, it was because he was not powerful enough to allow them to express their full nature, but that day was growing ever closer when they would no longer be bound, and for a battle such as this one, Rowan no longer bound them by any rules except to unleash their might.
With a roar, the six Ouroboros Serpents burst out from the flesh ball and began to ascend to the skies as their sizes increased until they filled the horizon.
What a sight they were! Their massive shapes coiling in the air were beautiful to behold as the golden scales on their bodies were darker and each of the scales felt as if it was indestructible. The pointed bony spine with the appearance of spears that were growing on their back resembled diamonds.
This bony spine began from the end of their tail to their heads where it curled into an elaborate crown.
