n

nThe upper right corner of Max’s vision displayed the remaining time to his Stealth spell.

n

nThere were only 10 seconds left!

n

nThe concealment spell was about to be dispelled!

n

nMax had only escaped a couple kilometers away from Catherine’s lair.

n

nWorse still, Catherine had already returned to her lair.

n

nCompared to when Max had initially fled from Catherine, the distance between them was now much closer than before.

n

nMax’s heart was beating rapidly. He feared what Catherine would do to him once his Stealth had worn off.

n

nAlthough the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal was contained within his mouth, it was still giving off powerful waves of frost energy.

n

nAlthough Max had no need for the frost energy, the same could not be said for Catherine.

n

nThe longer Max held the snow lotus within his mouth, the more he understood why Catherine was so furious.

n

nHad the snow lotus come into the possession of a regular run-of-the-mill Silver Dragon, they would likely gain an incredible boost in stats.

n

nNow that Catherine had lost the snow lotus, it was likely that her rate of growth would be greatly reduced. More likely than not, her strength would plateau.

n

nIt was for this reason that Catherine had grown furious.

n

nAt this moment, Max’s Stealth had completely worn off!

n

nThe countdown was over!

n

nThe strange spatial fluctuations that covered Max’s scales had disappeared, and Max’s crimson body was laid bare to the the dangerous snowstorm!

n

nMax’s presence was immediately discovered by a terrifying figure!

n

nSensing that he had been targeted, Max’s pupils suddenly shrank.

n

nA familiar sense of danger appeared within his gut.

n

nHis heart was beating wildly, and it felt as if it was about to leap out of his mouth.

n

nThe ice energy within the Moldos Mountain Range swiftly gathered around Max.

n

nMax felt as if he were caught within a prison of ice.

n

nShould he act rashly, he would instantly be bombared by the vast ocean of ice energy.

n

nBoom!

n

nMax felt as if he had suddenly gained weight.

n

nEvery flap of his wings had taken considerably more effort than before.

n

nMax’s chest rose and fell continuously as he attempted to maintain flight, and his organs felt like bricks.

n

nThe surrounding ice and snow had coagulated into large lumps due to the influence of massive gravity.

n

nThe name of a certain ability appeared within Max’s mind.

n

n‘Gravity Manipulation!’

n

n‘Not just any Gravity Manipulation, however, this is a multi-fold Gravity Manipulation!’

n

nMoreover, Max knew very well that this was not the final form of Gravity Manipulation!

n

nHad Catherine truly desired, Max would instantly cease to breathe, his organs would instantly be crushed, and he would be smashed into a bloody pulp!

n

nMax wanted to flap his wings again, but he was powerless, his body felt like lead, and before long, he was like a crimson meteor that plummeted rapidly into the ground.

n

nA large amount of snow had been thrown into the air as a result of his impact. As he tried desperately to regain his footing, he noticed that a silver figure approaching him from the distance!

n

nIt was Catherine!

n

nAt this moment, Catherine’s eyes flickered with an ice-cold glint, and it looked as if she wanted to swallow Max whole.

n

nCatherine did not possess much talent at birth. It was no exaggeration to say that she was beneath even Avril when it came to their potential at birth.

n

nMuch of Catherine’s ascension into an Ancient Dragon had been due to great fortune and luck.

n

nHad Catherine trained and developed normally, she would at most make it into the Archaic rank during her lifetime.

n

nHowever, that all changed once she encountered the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal.

n

nAs a result of the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal, Catherine’s weak stats had been stretched to the max, and she had received a major boost in her growth rate.

n

nAt present, she was on the cusp of breaking through the first stage of the Ancient Dragon realm.1

n

nWith the assistance and the long term supply of ice energy from the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal, Catherine might even get a shot at becoming an Upper Ancient Dragon.

n

nHowever, now that Max had uprooted the plant, there was no chance of it re-growing again.

n

nEven if Catherine were to retrieve the snow lotus from Max, it would lose most of its potency, making it a decent treasure at best.

n

nMax’s reckless action of uprooting the plant had ruined Catherine’s path of growth!

n

nIt was no wonder that Catherine was furious.

n

nThree powerful and biting frost storms gathered from Catherine’s back, and immediately headed straight for Max!

n

n‘Multifold Gravity Increase!’

n

nThe gravity that was applied onto Max amplified instantly!

n

nMax, who had almost regained his footing, slammed viciously into the ground as a result of the increased gravity.

n

nThis time, as a result of the gravity doubling, many small pebbles on the ground had instantly shattered.

n

nThe biting cold frost storms had already arrived!

n

nThat terrifying frost energy was not an existence that Max could defend against.

n

nLeft with no other choice, Max could only use his Invincible Golden Body to endure the attacks!

n

nA faint golden light enveloped Max’s body. Despite being sent flying by the 3 frost storms, Max had not sustained any major injuries.

n

nMax slowly picked himself up from the ground. His eyes were solemn. He did not say anything as he stared at Catherine.

n

nNaturally, the main reason for his muteness was due to the Dark Snow Lotus Crystal contained within his mouth.

n

nShould Catherine notice it, she would most likely shatter his fangs and take it back for herself.

n

nThis was not something that Max wanted to experience.

n

nAt this moment, Max was only left with one final charge of Invincible Golden Body.

n

nRealizing that her attack was ineffective, Catherine did not bother using the same attacks again. With fiery rage burning within her, she decided to unleash her ultimate move.

n

n20-fold Gravity!

n

nThe ground around Max sank in an instant!

n

nThe frozen ground looked as if it had been stomped upon by a massive foot!

n

nMax’s body trembled under the weight!

n

nIt was at this moment that he truly realized the gap between them!

n

nNot only did his blood stop flowing, various organs and bones within his body were also being crushed!

n

nUnless he activated his Invincible Golden Body, he would most likely succumb to the gravity and be smashed into a pulp!

n

nUnable to control himself, a golden glow enveloped Max’s body once more!

n

nMax had run out of Invincible Golden Body charges!

n

nDespair enveloped Max’s heart!
