Chapter 563: 557
“Too late!” David Jones’s heart skipped a beat.
As the azure sky turned pitch black, the distorted space-time around them began to present an irregular shattered state.
Whether it was the terrifying aura that seeped into one’s very soul, making one’s hair stand on end, or the body’s reflexive response, everything was reminding David that he had stepped into the domain of an indescribable, horrific existence.
“Damn it, it’s the Unborn Void God’s Empty Three Realms Zone!”
In front of the dragon carriage, Lynn Lindwood stared blankly at the phantom of a skull city that emerged and disappeared quietly in the darkness. The long halberd behind her subconsciously emitted a soft hum, voluntarily falling into her hand and casting a gentle light to drive away the darkness within a radius of three zhang.
“Form the Sacred Radiance Dragon Circle!” Lynn, regaining her composure, commanded loudly.
Upon hearing this, the well-trained Earth Demon Guards at the sides of the dragon carriage quickly connected with their companions’ ghost force, forming the Sacred Dragon military formation.
As an illusion of an Azure Dragon materialized abruptly above the convoy, an air of inviolability exploded resoundingly, shattering the surrounding darkness with the force of thunder, causing the already retreating ghostly light to flee even further.
“Crack, crackle!”
With just a slight movement, the illusion of the Azure Dragon caused a series of sounds like breaking bones from within the ghostly light.
“What’s happening?”
Theodore Lindwood and Lornaa Lindwood opened their eyes, which had not been shut for long, simultaneously, their tone somewhat curious.
The Sacred Radiance Dragon Circle, commonly known as the Azure Dragon Sanctuary Formation, was a combat formation used by the Earth Demon Guards to prevent assassins from attacking from the rear. It focused on gathering strength at the center of the formation to protect the nobles primarily and to kill enemies secondarily. It was a military formation of Imperial ranking.
With Lynn’s Medium level as a Ghost Emperor, needing to set up the Azure Dragon Formation to face the enemy, could it be that the attackers were strong entities at the apex of Ghost Emperor or even at the Ghost Immortal Level?
Lornaa looked outside the carriage, only to see everything consumed by chaotic, frenzied, and disordered darkness.
“Impossible!”
Lornaa and Theodore exchanged disbelieving glances.
Throughout the long years, the Lindwood family faced not only the growing power of the Thirteen Sacred Clans but also the occasional descent of fearsome demon gods.
In some ways, the threat that demon gods posed to the Lindwood family was far greater than that of the Thirteen Sacred Clans, which ruled their own territories.
Because chaotic and disorderly Demonic Beasts could not be reasoned with, and they could also cause irreparable erosion to the ghost force that permeated heaven and earth, undermining the foundation of the Lindwood’s strong warriors’ progress. Thus, each time demon gods descended, the Lindwood would enter emergency combat readiness, aiming to expel or seal the demon gods in the shortest time possible.
With a grave expression, Lornaa took out a mysterious jade mirror adorned with a black True Dragon coiling around it, in the center of which was a blue Magic Stone. On either side, multicolored silks fluttered.
Sensing the dragon-wielding energy within him suddenly becoming active, David’s eyes moved, activating the Illusion-Piercing Eye.
[Demonic Reflecting Mirror]: Rank unknown, crafted using twelve Dragon Scales of the Guardian Dragon God as the base and forged with the power of the lunar phases into a precious artifact; capable of revealing the true form of demon gods and temporarily suppressing both the immortality and infectiveness of Demonic Beasts.
Note: Demonic Beasts reflected by the Demonic Reflecting Mirror, once killed, have no possibility of resurrection. (Ineffective against Demonic Beasts of Ghost Immortal/Legend level or above)
“Thank goodness, it’s just an avatar of the Unborn Void God.”
Lornaa, observing the faint blue glow erupting from the surface of the Demonic Reflecting Mirror, felt her grim expression slightly improve as she exhaled a turbid breath.
Indeed, the Unborn Void God is suppressed deep within the Cross-world Gate by the Guardian Dragon God and cannot move, so its true form could not possibly appear here in Rillfort Mansion.
“What is the Unborn Void God?” David Jones took the initiative to ask.
At this moment, he was already in the thick of it, and complaining or being upset solved nothing; it would be better to study the opponent’s strength clearly.
After all, within the Flowery Kingdom, the most powerful being David Jones had encountered was only of the Immortal level, such as Mother Scarlet and the National Guardian Divine Bird Armor.
Could this Unborn Void God be an entity on par with Mother Scarlet, or even an eminent existence that surmounts Her?
Lornaa Lindwood glanced at Wang, her brother, and upon seeing his agreeing gaze, she explained softly.
“According to ancient records, the Unborn Void God is the avatar of catastrophe and the void. When it awakens, all living beings in the world will sink into the endless void, devoured by it, the only deity in the world capable of contending with the Guardian Dragon God,” she revealed.
“Those who have seen it and survived the war have all gone mad and committed suicide, turning into ghastly skeletons; hence, Umbral’s records on the Unborn Void God are scarce.
Some powerful beings say that the Unborn Void God is a vicious Bone Dragon, without flesh and blood, its jade-colored body exuding an aura of chaos.
Others say the Unborn Void God is a female Demon God walking in the void, her front a bare and stunningly beautiful body with skin fairer than snow, while her back is fleshless, a skeleton in a devouring pose.
Its two feet, one left and one right, stand respectively on the day and night wheels of the void and the sinister white bones of breeding disaster. Anyone who dares to look directly at it will undoubtedly die,” she added.
Hearing this, David Jones’s mind stirred, “Does the Unborn Void God have two forms, one human and one dragon?”
If the Unborn Void God belonged to the dragons, he wondered if the natural dragon affinity that came with his Dragon-Wielding power could be of any use.
Seeing David Jones stand there in a daze, Lornaa understandably sympathized.
When she first learned of the Unborn Void God, she had reacted even worse than David Jones was now.
After highlighting an important point, Lornaa then slowed her speech to prevent David Jones from losing his will to resist.
“Fortunately, what has descended this time is only an avatar of the Unborn Void God, whose strength should be around the Ghost Immortal Level. It should not be difficult for us, with our abilities in collaboration with the Rillfort Mansion, to vanquish it,” she reassured.
Upon hearing this, David Jones looked at Lornaa with some surprise.
There were no Ghost Immortals in the caravan, only two at the Ghost Emperor level, Lornaa and Lynn Lindwood; however, there were indeed quite a few at the King level, a total of forty.
But Ghost Immortals correspond to legends, and David Jones couldn’t fathom what kind of courage would allow two Class VII powerhouses to lead forty Class VI powerhouses to fight against a Class VIII legend—wasn’t that a certain death?
“A level represents a whole different world. My teacher himself is called a legendary powerhouse of this world, and not just two Class VII powerhouses, even ten or twenty Class VII powerhouses would only meet a bitter end in front of a Class VIII legend.”
“The avatar of the Unborn Void God is powerful. Perhaps we could lay low for now and wait for reinforcements from the imperial city,” David Jones suggested cautiously.
Just then, as Lynn Lindwood entered the carriage and heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
If there were a choice, he would have picked the same!
“The Unborn Void God’s Empty Three Realms Divine Zone has the ability to devour the energy of all things, such as vegetation, rocks, and mountains, and transform it into the energy of the void realm.
If we do not find and annihilate the avatar of the Unborn Void God as soon as possible, the longer we delay, our strength will decrease faster, until in the end, we become but senseless skeletons, only capable of slaughter,” Lornaa said helplessly.
