Chapter 1155: Chapter 475: I Am the Volcano! (Part 3)

Vini attempted to launch an aerial attack with her insect legion.

But those modified giant insects were equally unable to withstand such intense heat radiation.

Their wings scorched as they approached Edwin, falling from the sky like raindrops.

"Damn flames, my beautiful artworks..."

She furiously commanded the remaining insects to release venomous mists, trying to weaken Edwin’s fighting strength with a chemical attack.

But the toxins decomposed rapidly in such high temperatures, rendering them completely ineffective.

Caroline’s situation was slightly better; her "children" possessed stronger adaptability and could remain active in extreme environments.

But even so, facing Edwin’s attack like a natural disaster, their numerical advantage seemed insignificant.

Yet, the battle was far from over.

In the lava hell created by Edwin, the three modifiers displayed their truly terrifying power.

Lianna’s body began to rapidly reconstruct, shedding her skin entirely to reveal an internal network of blood vessels coiled like tree roots.

These vessels frantically absorbed the heat energy from the lava, transforming the fire element into life energy.

Her form gradually became vast and twisted, like a burning fleshy tree.

Vini completely abandoned her human form, turning into some kind of flame-insect hybrid.

Her wings regrew, but this time they were energy wings composed of pure fire.

Caroline’s abdomen completely split open, revealing an internal hatching space reminiscent of purgatory.

Countless new life forms, engulfed in flames, poured out, their ability to adapt to high temperatures far surpassing the previous versions.

"So that’s how it is..."

Ron calmly analyzed the battle situation:

"They were prepared from the beginning with their backup forms to handle extreme environments. The legion earlier was just a decoy; now is the real showdown."

But he wasn’t worried at all.

Because in such a high-temperature environment, Edwin’s combat power was exponentially boosted.

And although the opponent’s adaptive modifications enabled their survival, they couldn’t gain the upper hand.

Of course, the Sand Sea School’s true goal was never to decide the victor here.

They just needed to pass through the barrier and enter the final area.

"Edwin, make way!"

Ron issued the command decisively:

"We’re not going to entangle with them; just charge straight through!"

Edwin smiled knowingly and swung his massive fist towards the formation of the Life Tree School.

But his attack target wasn’t them directly, but the defensive structures behind them.

The lava fist struck like a meteor, opening a path towards the barrier within the enemy ranks.

Laku instantly constructed a mobile sand platform, carrying his teammates rapidly towards the barrier.

Patty provided cover from the air, with wind blades raining down on the pursuing enemy.

Just as the Sand Sea School was about to break through the blockade, Caroline made an unexpected decision.

She halted the pursuit and instead commanded the remaining modified units to clear the path.

"Let them pass."

Her voice sounded eerie and calm within the flames:

"The true battlefield for the final duel is where victory will truly be decided. Exhausting too much strength now will not benefit us."

Although Vini and Lianna were reluctant, they understood the tactical consideration of their leader.

In such a multi-sided battle environment, preserving strength was more important than being aggressive.

The Sand Sea School team successfully passed the barrier test and vanished into the dazzling energy curtain.

Meanwhile, the Life Tree School began preparing new traps for the other upcoming teams.

The real showdown was about to unfold deep within the elemental convergence point.

......

In another corner of the arena, a more profound mental collapse was unfolding.

The Burning Scale Clan’s leader kneeled before the Ancestral Soul Stone, his entire body trembling violently.

Not out of fear, but because of the ancient memories flooding into his consciousness like a deluge.

In extreme anger, humiliation, and confusion, the dragon lineage within him underwent an unusual resonance.

This resonance triggered the deeply-buried "racial memory" within his genes—those painful truths that were deliberately forgotten and covered up.

The images of memories flashed through his mind like movie clips:

The night sky of the home planet suddenly torn asunder, revealing the boundless void abyss below;

Countless dragons looked up in terror, their eyes filled with the despair of an impending apocalypse;

The "Monarch of Annihilation" surged out like a black tide from the rift, leaving everything in stillness in its wake;

The Dragon Kings hurriedly opened the teleportation gates, leading their kin in a desperate escape;

Their arrival in the Main World was marked by wretchedness and fear, with a sense of humility like nesting under another’s eaves...

"No... It can’t be..."

The leader clutched his head, crying bitterly, his voice trembling with despair:

"We are not conquerors... We are fugitives... Refugees of the universe..."

These memories sliced through his spiritual world like blades, completely destroying the value system he had built since childhood.

In the official history of the Burning Scale Clan, the Dragon Race was portrayed as noble conquerors who came to the Main World in search of broader territories.

They possessed the purest bloodline and the most powerful strength, deserving of admiration and submission from all other races.

But now, all those proud lies crumbled before the truth.

"The purer the bloodline, the more conspicuous the mark... We have always been avoiding the tracking of that presence..."

More memory fragments emerged, revealing the true reason behind the dilution of their bloodline.

The Dragon Race’s intermarriages with humans or other races were not out of love or political alliances, but to dilute the "tracking mark" within their bloodline.
