My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 289 - 168: Madness and Hatred (90/101)

The Crab General took a deep breath, performed the highest salute to Ao Wuming, and then resolutely walked towards Tai Lang: "I accept your challenge. Go ahead, I won’t fight back."

There was no reaction, and no battle platform appeared.

Ao Wuming and the others frowned but did not stop it, continuing to watch.

"Although I don’t know what’s going on, the City Lord’s order must be executed. Apologies, I wish you a good family in your next life!"

Tai Lang suddenly leaped up and slashed towards the Crab General’s neck.

"Clang——"

With a loud noise, sparks flew, and he was directly bounced back, retreating continuously, even floating in the seawater, his hand felt numb from the shock.

Tai Lang was stunned, somewhat questioning life: "...What a hard crab shell!!"

Ao Wuming: "..."

Russell and the other three: "..."

"Turns out not all Humans are as monstrous as City Lord Yang, this kid actually is at the Human Limit."

Huo Mangfeng didn’t know whether to be happy or speechless; the former master of Creation Continent, is he too weak now?

"This Crab General is at mid-Earth Level, too strong, let’s find a weaker one." Russell said.

Green Concubine was also a bit anxious for Tai Lang, wanting to help him slash.

Ao Wuming frowned and looked at the Crab General.

The Crab General’s face changed, hastily knocked off the exoskeleton on his neck with a claw, then said to Tai Lang: "Again!"

"..."

Tai Lang’s face turned somewhat red, but he braced himself and charged up again.

This time, he directly activated his Steel Body, his entire body emitting a metallic sheen.

"Break for me!"

He roared, unleashing his ultimate move of Ultimate Sublimation, his whole body radiating a blinding metallic luster, slashing with all his might at the Crab General’s unprotected neck.

"Crunch..."

Finally, this slash managed to painfully cleave the Crab General’s neck, severing the head.

"Huff!"

Tai Lang landed, gasping heavily, feeling deeply shocked.

He was at the Human Limit, yet against an opponent with no defenses, he still had to use an ultimate move to decapitate.

If it were a direct fight, even a thousand of him wouldn’t be enough to take on the opponent.

As this thought flashed by, suddenly a ball of light flew from the fallen Crab General’s corpse into his body.

"Boom——"

Almost instantly, his aura surged from Human Limit to the early Earth Level, with a skyrocketing aura storm.

He was so astonished that his eyes widened: "What happened..."

"This..."

"There is a reaction!"

"What is that ball of light?"

Ao Wuming and the other four were all shaken to their core.

At this moment, a suppressive aura suddenly emanated from the deepest palace of the Dragon Palace Fortress, pressuring the surrounding sea area for thousands of miles.

"Wuming, Father can feel it, Father can feel it!!!"

The Dragon King’s voice rang out frantically with excitement, sensing a slight decay in the seal’s power.

Although very, very minor, almost negligible, it was indeed less.

Imprisoned here for endless ages, he was nearly driven mad, almost completely giving up hope.

Unexpectedly, hope came so abruptly.

At the entrance of the Dragon Palace Fortress, Ao Wuming and the others were taken aback.

Exchanging glances, they saw in each other’s eyes that kind of excitement and near-crazed emotion.

"It’s really effective?!"

"It actually works!!!"

"Great, the Human Race is indeed the race to break through the predicaments!"

"City Lord Yang didn’t deceive us!"

The four of them trembled with excitement.

They had waited for this day for so long, so very long!

Though they hadn’t experienced any natural disaster, they had been trapped at Earth’s Limit for so many eons, if they didn’t break through soon, they were approaching the limit of their lifespan.

Not even reaching their maximum lifespan was probable, as the world’s will was about to collapse, and within a century, they might perish.

"Continue, Human lad, keep going!" Huo Mangfeng urged the bewildered Tai Lang, who had suddenly elevated.

"Yes, continue!" Ao Wuming said without hesitation.

Then he looked at all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around, shouting: "Hear my command, disarm. I, the Crown Prince, have found an opportunity to save Father King, and this opportunity requires your sacrifice. The Dragon Race will never forget your contribution, and I personally promise that any Dragon Race member who sacrifices to break the Divine Lock will be buried in the Dragon Curtain Secret Realm!"

His voice rolled and spread throughout the Undersea Dragon Palace Fortress.

As long as they can save Father King, these Crab Generals are negligible.

"To be buried in the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm?"

"The Crown Prince really said that?"

Instantly, all of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Undersea Dragon Palace Fortress thought they had misheard.

As the cannon fodder of the Dragon Palace, their lifelong wish was to be buried in the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm after death, a wish usually granted only for immense contributions.

"That’s right, I, the Crown Prince, guarantee it with the honor of the Dragon Race!"

Ao Wuming said loudly, a bit worried these shrimp soldiers and crab generals might revolt, hence such a blasphemous promise.

This was unprecedented; lowly shrimp soldiers and crab generals buried in the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm was an insult to the noble Dragon Race.

Unless they made tremendous contributions, shrimp soldiers and crab generals would receive the Dragon Race’s bestowed names.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"To save the Dragon King, we are willing to sacrifice!"

"As long as we can save the Dragon King, I am willing to sacrifice!"

"Indeed, we are willing to sacrifice; we hope Your Highness the Crown Prince keeps the promise!"
