Chapter 525: 525
Between the Ascension

Above the purple river, in the black sun, a group of silver-white insects flew out.

The sound of the elytra shaking the air was like the whispers of the end of the world.

The outline of this disaster was outlined in his remaining memories.

It was the Graywind Swarm.

The tentacles on Tris ‘body suddenly trembled. The mutated dragon was first shocked, then it came to a realization.

“Kant from Aurora!”

“So that’s how it is!” the twisted monster shouted. No wonder you seem to have suddenly appeared in this world! No wonder you have powers and skills that have never appeared in this world! So you are…”

It immediately stopped talking and even looked up subconsciously. It was definitely not looking at the collapsing top of the Earth Dome or the surface, but at the distant sky.

“I see! That’s why the Dragon God gave me a revelation and an oracle! So the mighty power of Akatum brought you to me! Today, I will carry out his decree! Die!”

More than a dozen whips shot out from various chambers in his body. The strong contraction of his muscles pushed the flying blades, which were covered in barbs, to pierce through the air. With a loud explosion, the sharp edges of the blades shot up from the bottom and went straight for all parts of Kant’s body!

However, the sound of metal clanging rang out.

The air rippled, and transparent ripples spread out instantly. The silver locusts instantly joined together and spread out like flowers, turning into a silver beehive shield. Layers after layers, they floated in the air and condensed. With unbelievable form and power, they neutralized the sharp impact. Twelve flying blades and twelve shields protected Kant from all directions, blocking the fatal stab.

Tracey’s hundreds of compound eyes stared at Kant from all directions. He observed Kant’s weaknesses and planned his attacks. Then, his deformed body suddenly exerted force. The whip extended and stabbed again. Afterimages flashed across the sky as the whip danced wildly. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of attacks were launched like a storm.

The silver shield spread out.

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of bugs around Kant had opened and closed hundreds of times. They reformed, scattered, and condensed again, blocking the storm-like attacks.

From the Realm Gate, more and more bug swarms flew out.

They were mighty and merged into Kant’s domain. The mysterious elements that the Stolen Flame had extracted and absorbed at full speed were fed back to every locust through the wonderful chain of levels. Their red compound eyes condensed into a purple glow. The demon’s gift gave the swarm new characteristics and power.

They contracted their bodies and were interlocked with each other, weaving the most efficient and dense armor leaves. From the inside to the outside, they fell layer by layer. They were both the strongest shield and the sharpest sword. They presented the armor to the great Fallen One along the frame of the armor woven by the light of the Star Right Divine Ring.

The style of the armor was exactly the same as the mysterious armor that Horus had borrowed from the ancient people to create for the three of them.

Tracy roared and landed.

Its huge claws continued to extend, almost expanding to half of its body. From top to bottom, the Aberrant Dragon raised its huge claws and slapped down fiercely with violent wind. The wind pressure caused the surrounding purple river to cave in, and the air was compressed to the limit, emitting a violent explosion.

Kant merely raised his hand.

With a loud crash, the air waves caused the river water to surge wildly in all directions. A large amount of liquid elements splattered everywhere, and the full-powered attack of the festered dragon was blocked by a raised hand.

This was because above the spreading silver splendor was a dazzling purple light shield!

The Graywind swarm was continuously absorbing the mysterious elements Kant had extracted. Kant was already using such power, just like the swarm.

They were all gifts.

The Aberrant Dragon’s eyes were filled with disbelief. It roared angrily, and its tentacles surged as it lashed out with whips. Its ugly body spewed out a large amount of spores and acid, but the Naguru Quick Strike was easily blocked by the silver shield that kept spreading. Kant looked at the monster that was right in front of him indifferently. He clenched his right hand and grabbed one of the fingers of the huge claw.

The Fire Stealer’s will flowed against the current and rushed into Tracy’s body. His hand armor fell apart and turned into a swarm of locusts that flew around Tracy’s huge claws. His terrifying mouthpart was already open!

The extraction power was activated, and the corrupted structure in the mutated dragon’s body collapsed. Its strength decreased, and its skin became brittle. The worms that were constantly spreading and absorbing like vines suddenly bit!

Tracis roared in pain. In an instant, its huge claws disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, falling like ashes. It suddenly cut off its right arm, flapped its four wings, and raised a strong wind. It flew back, its tentacles stirring, reaching into the River of Origin, absorbing the endless energy.

The severed right arm gradually grew tumors, and then slowly extended and transformed.

It looked at Kant in shock and anger.

Kant, on the other hand, just stared back at it quietly.

Their gazes only lasted for a moment before Tris fell into the River of Origin. His huge body stood still in the river, and the mysterious elements came into contact with his body even more intimately. They seeped into his body, poured in, and were used by him.

The endless explosive power rebuilt his courage.

This was the blessing of the Dragon God.

I was chosen by Akatum.

This is the test that he has foreseen. I will definitely win!

“Kant!”

” You…” The aberrant dragon took large strides and stepped into the river, stirring up rolling waves. The purple waves spread out an ethereal mist.” You must die here today!”

Kant raised his right hand and slashed at Tracy.

The swarm of insects moved.

It was the strongest shield and the sharpest sword.

A large number of locusts condensed into a huge sword blade that attacked fiercely in the sky, cutting open the purple river!

The energy shield suddenly opened up, blocking the insect sword. Facing this tough and intelligent protective shield, the firepower that had been successful in the past could not do anything, but it was different now.

The Fire Stealer’s power spread along the swarm of insects. Every locust was an extension of the Lord’s Will. The invisible energy shield was as brittle as paper under the extraction ability. A portion of the locusts that spread out devoured the energy and opened up a small gap. The huge insect sword glowed with a cold light and slashed down through the gap!

Blood spurted out, but the physical cut was only secondary. A large number of locusts escaped the moment the sharp blade touched his body, and then drilled into Tris ‘body through the cut in his flesh!

The mutated dragon howled in pain because the locusts that had entered its body kept biting and devouring its flesh.

If it were a normal dragon, the outcome of the battle would have been decided at this point. However, Tricia was using her tentacles to continuously extract mysterious elements to heal her body’s injuries, forming a tug-of-war. The mysterious elements in her body circulated, and she surrounded the dangerous foreign objects with all her might. She tried to wrap the locusts with the growing things, trying to crush the locusts with pure pressure. This method was extremely effective, but it was also extremely painful.

This was because his body was constantly being torn apart and repaired.

Pain and rage ruled his soul. Bloodthirsty brutality drove his killing intent.

“I’m going to kill you!” Tracy roared as he endured the excruciating pain.

The whips pierced through the air, and hundreds of flying blades danced in the air. The locusts turned into shields to block the attacks, and the sounds were crisp and unending. However, the swarm of locusts was also the strongest sword. Kant’s will allowed them to meet the frenzied attacks of the distorted whips. Countless sharp silver thorns condensed in the void and rained down on the dragon!

A brutal and rapid slaughter unfolded in this chaotic underground world. After the continuous destruction of the light cannons, the structure of the underground cave was becoming unstable. Gravel kept falling, and the purple river was turbulent. Above the river, the black sun opened up, the insects danced wildly, and the mutated monsters roared endlessly.

Hundreds of swift weapons from both sides clashed like a violent storm. Light and shadow continued, and afterimages formed. However, the advantages and disadvantages were already clear. Even if the flying blades broke through the silver shield and stabbed Kant’s body, they could not break through the armor’s defense at all. The silver spikes could break through the shield almost every time!

Fresh blood and flesh kept falling off as they fell into the purple river. Tracis was suffering from a series of attacks that were close to being cut into pieces. He should have been skinned and stripped of his flesh and blood long ago, but in the purple river, the continuous high-speed energy supply was still repairing his mutated body at lightning speed.

His greatest reliance on his previous invincible position had slowly turned into a curse.

In addition to the intense pain, there was even a hint of wavering and despair.

In the previous battle, he had an overwhelming advantage. Even though Kant had used all his methods and cooperated well with Ah Xing and Lily, he was still unable to banish him to the White Fog World.

The reason was simple.

This was because he could continuously absorb the demonic substance in the purple river.

But when his opponent had the same conditions, this advantage no longer existed.

Why?

Why could he?

Akatum, why was this happening?

He had his doubts when faced with the sudden guidance, but later on, he saw the great power and magic that could change the fate of the dragon race. He was instigated by the voice and the evil thoughts in his heart were drawn out. He attacked his first companion and obtained unimaginable power from it. It was difficult for him to turn back.

Thus, he took the initiative to convince himself, brainwash himself, and believe without a doubt that this was indeed Akatum’s guidance. He believed that he was chosen, and that all of this was his will.

Therefore, everything went smoothly. Even if he accidentally fell into danger, he was still in danger. He believed in the prophecy and voice more and more because he could no longer turn back.

Until now…

The first time he felt fear and uncertainty, his previous doubts and uneasiness would multiply.

“No, no, no. That’s impossible!”

It roared like a madman,”You despicable outsider! You’re stealing Akatum’s gift! This is the divine power he gave me! You’re not allowed to tarnish it! Only I can have it!

Only I can upgrade! Only I can make the dragon race great again! I…”

Kant stared at him quietly.

The dense swarm of insects danced around him, forming an endless silver screen.

The silver screen unfolded, and the cavalry charged out with swords and spears.

The Chief Sovereign’s Will was projected.

The silver bugs roared along the river surface, surrounding Tris like a tornado. They continuously condensed silver thorns that were like arrows, stabbing at the mutated dragon.

Kant was only giving him pain. Kant wanted to give him a painful death and an end.

The aberrant giant dragon that had been fighting like it was facing a great enemy was no longer a concern.

Kant lowered his eyes.

Regret.

If…

It was the most meaningless if in the world.

The Realm Gate opened once again. A black sun sank into the surface of the river. The river surged and poured back into the White Fog World. The Purple River drooped down. Behind Tricia, a large number of locusts had built a dam. Kant’s previous plan was to cut off the tentacles and banish the Aberrant Dragon to the White Fog World when it was able to continuously extract mysterious elements. Now, he had a better method.

Even if he had to drain the entire river, he had to find Ah Xing.

” No!” Tracis realized this change, and a deeper layer of fear struck his heart. He shouted uneasily and even in panic,” No! No What are you doing! Stop! This is mine! These are all mine!

You can’t take it away! This was given to me by the Dragon God! This is what Akatum promised me!”

“No, he didn’t say that,” Kant said calmly.

The aberrant dragon struggled even harder, but its advantage was no longer an advantage. Kant’s efficiency in absorbing the mysterious elements was far superior to his. Kant’s efficiency in using the mysterious elements was still far superior to his. The Graywind Zergs were extremely compatible with the mysterious elements. Perhaps all of this was destined.

As the white fog world extracted, the insects built a dam to block it.

The amount of mysterious elements that Tricia could absorb was rapidly decreasing. This section of the river was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the mysterious elements were exhausted, it would be the day when Tricia would be crushed into pieces.

” I’m going to let them eat you alive,” Kant said calmly.

Tracis struggled violently, trying to fly up and retreat. However, as the defense line continued to break, more and more locusts flew over. He roared and roared, but all his resistance yielded little results. It was as if he was watching the countdown to his death. I won’t lose! I…”

This section of the river slowly dried up.

The abundant energy had been depleted.

” Kant!” The mutated dragon’s pain grew more intense. Stop! If you kill me, you won’t be able to explain it to Dragon Island! Stop! I’ll tell you what I did!

I…”

Kant acted as if he did not hear it.

Now that things had come to this, why would he care about Dragon Island?

The dragon’s miserable howl was slowly mixed with despair.

Right at this moment, a violent turbulence came from a deeper location.

The river water suddenly churned like a tidal wave.

The upstream roared as a huge amount of mysterious elements swarmed in, as if the flood season had arrived. The downstream also shook the river surface, hitting the dam and setting off a torrent.

More river water splashed on Tricia’s body, injecting a shot in the heart and corroding the attack of the swarm. The short chance of survival was seized by the despairing Tricia. The mutated dragon roared and broke through the encirclement. It flapped its wings and flew downstream!

Kant frowned slightly. He was about to continue attacking when his expression changed.

The surrounding River of Time began to tremble.

Time flashed again.

On the other side, after Tris fell into the water, even more mysterious elements surged over to heal his injuries and restore his energy. Tris had just calmed down from the shock. He looked at Kant warily before revealing a surprised expression.” This…” The Ascension to Heaven was opened? But Lily wasn’t sacrificed. Why is this happening?”

He muttered to himself, Could it be that woman? She was also a dragon? Impossible, but why would the Ascension Space open? The offerings were not enough…I don’t care!”

He took one last look at Kant, who was standing there motionlessly.

The terrifying swarm of insects scattered around like stars.

Tracis finally lost the courage to continue fighting.

“Don’t think you’ve won!” he roared.

After saying that, his body shrunk rapidly and he plunged into the river, swimming downstream at a rapid speed.

The oracle told him that the end of the river was between heaven and earth, and he was to go there.

The Dragon God did not give up on him.

He had not lost yet.

After a while, Kant’s body trembled slightly.

He broke away from the fault of time.

A scene flashed across his mind.

He once again saw the scene of the past. Here, he saw the result of the ancient sacrifice. Six ancient people had attracted mysterious elements into their bodies and transformed into distorted monsters.

Their goal was not just to stop the church from invading. They had devoured countless black beasts, assimilated them, absorbed them, and poured all their essence into this place. They had sown a seed, and after countless years, it had formed this surging river.

He raised his hand and looked at the purple light flowing between his fingers and the vast river below him. After a long while, he suddenly smiled desolately.

A gift from the devil.

The echoes of the apocalypse.

This was the seed that Ah Xing had personally sown.

It was also because Ah Xing had fallen into the river that he had accepted this so-called fate.

The first time he met Ah Xing was after he transmigrated, at the Saint Seal Archipelago.

Coincidentally, it was this world, that island, and the time when she was in danger.

Fate couldn’t be changed. Everything was already decided.

“Ah Xing…”

At the end of the flashback, he saw Ah Xing disappear alone at the end of the river.

Carrying her flag.

“No matter who you are, no matter what you have done here, I will find you…”

The swarm of insects followed him, and Kant went down the river.
