Chapter 1804: The Routed Dragon God
"What... what kind of power is this!" A lower-ranked Realm King’s teeth chattered.
"As expected of a Dragon God... and even more so the strongest of them, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God! Too terrifying! Truly earth-shattering!"
"There hasn’t been a single record of the Crimson Destruction Dragon God taking action in at least the last hundred thousand years. And today, we actually get to witness it."
"Those black lights are the Dark Profound Force of the demon race! The Crimson Destruction Dragon God is fighting against the demons!"
"It seems the news of the Ashen Dragon God being killed by the Demon Lord Yun Che is absolutely true. This is the Dragon God’s wrath!"
"The Dragon God Realm has made its move! The heavens are truly changing. This time, the demon race will finally... ahhh!"
A surge of air force suddenly pounced over, and a group of powerful profound practitioners were violently swept away like withered leaves. Some with lower cultivation suffered internal injuries on the spot, clutching their chests and coughing blood.
"Go! Quickly! With power at this level, even watching from afar, we could be... ugh!"
Another terrifying wave of air stirred. They did not yet know that at this moment, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God had already entered a state of maddened fury.
All the profound practitioners of the Eastern Domain quickly retreated. Spreading alongside them was the news of the fierce battle between the Crimson Destruction Dragon God and the demon.
This news undoubtedly shook everyone’s hearts violently.
Because the Dragon God Realm had finally moved against the demon race. And the appearance of the First Dragon God seemed to herald the full-scale outbreak of war between the Western Divine Region and the Northern Divine Region.
And this battle would determine the fate of the entire Divine Realm from this point onward.
However, as this news—considered by them to be a matter of the Divine Realm’s future destiny—spread with extreme speed, no one could ever have dreamed of the tragic state of this battle.
Shame, rage, agony, soul collapse, loss of control... anyone who saw the Crimson Destruction Dragon God at this moment would be convinced he had gone completely mad.
His attacks grew more violent with each strike, and his draconic aura became more chaotic by the moment. Chi Wuyue’s figure moved and shifted amidst the raging waves and monstrous storms, the black ribbon in her hands continuously smashing heavily onto the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s body.
But the Dragon God’s body was far too formidable. Chi Wuyue’s attacks did not inflict too severe a wound on him.
Boom!!
A patch of blood-like draconic aura exploded, creating an immensely vast hell of destruction. At that moment, an even darker black light flashed within the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s eyes. His draconic body stiffened, his aura collapsed wildly, and he let out a shriek more piercing than any before.
As his control slipped, the corrosive devouring of the demon soul grew even fiercer.
Chi Wuyue had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
She flashed in an instant, arriving at the core of the dragon’s belly. Between her crossed ten fingers, the dark demonic ribbon gathered an extremely profound black light...
Black as the eyes of an ancient demon god.
One breath... two breaths... three breaths...
Half a breath!
The Crimson Destruction Dragon God writhed in agony. He vaguely sensed the danger, but his overly chaotic consciousness could not make a correct judgment, nor could it accurately drive his power and body in the first instant.
Suxin Dragon God’s heart suddenly jolted, her gaze snapping over sharply. But the reminder she was about to utter was forcibly choked back by the black blades of the Jiexin and Jieling that arrived in an instant.
One breath... one and a half breaths... two breaths!
In a battle at the Divine Emperor level, a single moment of negligence is enough to suffer severe injuries. Under normal conditions, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God would never have allowed Chi Wuyue to concentrate her power for such a prolonged period.
But under the demon soul’s corrosive devouring, Chi Wuyue accomplished it right under his nose.
Chi Wuyue slowly lifted her eyes. Her pupils had vanished, leaving nothing but a pure darkness in her gaze.
"Darkness of Disorder... Asura’s Burial..."
She murmured softly from her lips. As she raised her hand, all sounds fell silent.
Time seemed to stop in the darkness. All the sounds of the world suddenly disappeared, leaving only a black ribbon gently floating toward the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, then touching his dragon belly.
Bang!
A soft sound, as it pierced through the body from the front and exited from the back.
The body of the First Dragon God—the true form spanning ten thousand zhang—was pierced clean through by the dark demonic ribbon, like tearing through cheap silk.
At that moment, the world also regained its sounds and the flow of time.
Whoosh!!
Two massive fountains of blood gushed from the dragon’s belly and back. Accompanied by a dragon howl that tore through the void and split the soul, the rampaging power surged forward like ten thousand exploding volcanoes.
Chi Wuyue’s demonic aura scattered, and she plummeted downward.
Falling with her was a sky-darkening, sun-obscuring rain of dragon blood from the First Dragon God.
In all his life, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God had not been without severe injuries.
But never had anyone or any power been able to pierce through his Dragon God body.
The pain of the body was far, far less than the damage to his will and faith—not even one ten-thousandth.
"!!!" Dragon blood poured down, drenching the entire heaven and earth. The dragon heart of Suxin Dragon God, which had remained serene for a hundred thousand years, nearly plummeted into the abyss in that one instant.
And in that fleeting moment of distraction, her vision went black before her.
The Twin Calamity Demon Slaying Array—an ancient demonic technique recorded in the memories of the Nirvana Wheel Demon Soul. Though taught by Chi Wuyue, the only ones in the current era capable of perfectly executing it were Jiexin and Jieling.
Even the name had been changed by Chi Wuyue specifically for them.
The twin demon girls’ shadows seemed like illusions. The dark demonic blades in their hands wove together into a net of darkness that sealed off every direction around Suxin Dragon God.
Beneath the dark net, space was sliced into countless perfectly neat fragments.
Shiiing—
With a hundred times the experience and battle instincts of Jiexin and Jieling, Suxin Dragon God judged in the very first instant that this was a terrifying demonic technique that even she absolutely could not withstand head-on.
Unlike other Dragon Gods, she had no shame in retreating. She poured all her power into defense and movement, skillfully evading the core, flashing ten li away... but on her face, two bone-chillingly cold sensations swept past.
Blood beads slowly fell. On her right cheek were two deep, carved marks.
Following the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, her Dragon God body had also been wounded—and in the most humiliating way... her face broken!
But there was no anger born of shame, not even the slightest moment of hesitation. She immediately turned and rushed toward the Crimson Destruction Dragon God.
Vaguely sensing a rapidly approaching presence, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, who was frantically searching for a target, no longer distinguished friend from foe. His dragon claws, accompanied by a savage roar, tore toward Suxin Dragon God.
Bang!!
Space compressed, then violently expanded. Suxin Dragon God raised both arms, firmly holding back the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s claws, and shouted in a low voice, "Big Brother, it’s me!"
"Roooar... ahhhh!" The agonizing dragon roar would not stop. What the Crimson Destruction Dragon God was enduring at this moment was ten times the pain of ten thousand blades rending his soul. But he could still recognize Suxin Dragon God, and his power retracted with trembling.
"Big Brother, let’s go! Quickly!" Suxin Dragon God absorbed her power into the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s claws, dragging him toward the west.
"Ahhhh!" In response to Suxin Dragon God’s action, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God struggled violently. He roughly shook her off, letting out a pained and hoarse roar: "I... Crimson Destruction... how could I... flee!!"
"Demon woman... kill the demon woman... kill... de... mon... ahhhh!"
White light shimmered in Suxin Dragon God’s eyes. A half-solid, half-illusory pale dragon shadow appeared behind her. The voice of her dragon soul vibrated across the world:
"Big Brother, come to your senses! If you don’t expel the demon soul as soon as possible, your dragon soul will suffer eternal damage. Do you want to fall into an abyss of no return?!"
The dragon soul voice of another Dragon God struck directly into the depths of the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s soul. His chaotic dragon eyes trembled violently, finally regaining some clarity.
"Go!!"
Suxin Dragon God’s power surged, forcibly carrying the Crimson Destruction Dragon God as she flew westward.
This time, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God only struggled subconsciously for a while before letting Suxin Dragon God drag him away.
At the very least, he could console himself that he was being dragged away by Suxin Dragon God, not fleeing on his own.
He turned his dragon head. In the distant view, Chi Wuyue’s black silhouette was as tiny as a speck of dust, but like a demonic thorn, it was eternally nailed into the deepest part of his dragon soul.
Behind him, dragon blood still poured. Every drop of dragon blood carried a hatred vast enough to fill the heavens.
Jiexin and Jieling watched the distant retreat of Crimson Destruction and Suxin. Without Chi Wuyue’s command, they did not pursue. Both turned and returned to Chi Wuyue’s side.
The black mist that had scattered around Chi Wuyue did not gather again. Looking at her complexion, both Jiexin and Jieling frowned slightly: "Master, you..."
Chi Wuyue gave a faint smile, shook her head, and softly called out: "Huajin."
With her summon, after a few breaths, a figure emerged before her like a wisp of smoke. It was the Seventh Demoness, Huajin.
"How is it?" Chi Wuyue asked.
Huajin replied respectfully, "As expected of a rare treasure from the Glazed Light Realm. It is far more powerful than imagined. No wonder it was able to deceive the Divine Emperors of all regions back then."
She raised both hands, and in her palm was a round orb shimmering with liquid-like light.
The Illusory Heart Shadow Glazed Jade!
It was with this that Shui Meiyin had secretly engraved one truth after another back then. After the truths recorded by those four Illusory Heart Shadow Glazed Jades were publicly displayed through the Universe Heaven Projection Array, they caused the collapse of faith among the profound practitioners of the three regions.
In Chi Wuyue’s view, those projections from Shui Meiyin were worth hundreds of millions of demon soldiers. At the same time, they sparked her considerable interest in this Illusory Heart Shadow Glazed Jade. Some time ago, she had asked Shui Meiyin for one such orb.
Chi Wuyue reached out and took it. With a sweep of her consciousness, the smile at the corner of her lips grew even more enchanting.
"Before heading to the Southern Divine Region, we need to return to the Universe Heaven Realm once more," Chi Wuyue said leisurely. "By the way, the Projection Array of the Universe Heaven Realm really is very useful. It makes me somewhat reluctant to part with it..."
Her voice stopped abruptly. An abnormal flush of crimson surged across her snow-white face. A stream of blood broke through her hurried suppression and seeped out from between her lips.
"Master!"
The three demonesses were instantly terrified, their faces turning pale. They hurriedly rushed forward.
After the first stream of blood, several more blood arrows spurted out. The demonic aura that Chi Wuyue had forcibly maintained rapidly drained. Her body went limp and slumped weakly, falling onto Jiexin’s chest.
Although she had severely wounded the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, that was the true form of the First Dragon God. Every time he rampaged, his power was terrifying beyond compare. Being constantly within such waves of power fluctuation, even she could not bear it easily.
Although the Nirvana Wheel Demon Soul’s level far surpassed that of the Crimson Destruction Dragon Soul, it was only a very faint wisp after all. The savage devouring it inflicted on the Crimson Destruction Dragon Soul was far from as easy for her as it appeared on the surface.
Chi Wuyue extended her bloodless hand and pressed it against her heart. She did not force herself to stay strong. Instead, she lay softly against Jiexin’s chest, the gentle smile still on her lips: "Don’t worry. That Crimson Destruction fellow is far worse off than I am. Even if he successfully expels my demon soul, for at least a thousand years, he will feel fear before even facing me, and his threat will be greatly diminished. This cost is very worthwhile."
"Master, don’t speak for now. We will heal your wounds immediately." Huajin said urgently.
But Chi Wuyue gently shook her head: "I’m not seriously injured. We must set off immediately to return to Universe Heaven. There can be no delay."
"Also... about my injury... don’t tell the... Demon... Lord..."
Her vision suddenly blurred. An overwhelming feeling of weakness that even she could not resist surged over, sinking her consciousness into a darkness.
————
Dragon God Realm. When the Crimson Destruction Dragon God, covered in blood, was helped back by Suxin Dragon God, the vast Dragon God Domain sank into an icy hell. King Dragons, Dragon Guards, Master Dragons, Dragon Lords, and even the Dragon Gods—all were shocked almost out of their wits.
Suxin Dragon God did not have time to explain everything in detail. She immediately gathered the power of all the Dragon Gods to expel the demon soul that had embedded itself into the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s dragon soul.
But before the expulsion could even be fully successful, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue struck down...
The Universe Heaven Realm, which had been occupied by the demon race, had once again activated the Universe Heaven Projection Array covering the entire Eastern Divine Region.
This time, the main subject was none other than the foremost of the nine Dragon Gods of the Dragon God Realm—the Crimson Destruction Dragon God!
