Chapter 696: Chapter 690: Facing the Demon God

This region was extremely barren, and being a legend qualified one as a strong warrior, while an Immortal was the apex.

The Seven Definite Dead Demon had not expected to encounter an Immortal at a time when its strength had not yet fully recovered to its peak.

“Pet Name”: Pure Phoenix

“Pet Type”: Fire, Wind type

“Species Level”: Immortal

“Strength Level”: Class IX lower-level (Weakened State)

“Species Skill”: Pure Flames, Divine Bird Purification, Flame Fury Catastrophe, Nirvana Rebirth, Immortal Zone…

“Fortunately, it is a Class IX Immortal in a weakened state, otherwise this time I really could not have broken the seal!”

The Seven Definite Dead Demon tugged at the Dragon Locking Chain, and an almost inexhaustible mysterious power of the demon god poured out from within him.

The sinister and ghostly Mystery Power instantly turned the Lava River beneath him into a silent expanse of death.

“The gift you delivered is not bad, a seriously wounded Pure Phoenix can just become my blood meal, aiding in the recovery of my strength.”

Detecting something was amiss, Lilith Hoyle turned and looked behind her, a pitch-black space crack suddenly opened as if it wanted to engulf her.

“Divine Bird Purification!”

In that moment, the Pure Phoenix transformed into the avatar of a fire god that purified everything, sacred and splendid flames filled the heavens and earth, attempting to cleanse the world’s impurities.

“Roar roar roar!”

The Seven Definite Dead Demon, stained with the Pure Flames, let out an excited laugh, as the horrendous wounds scorched by the true flame healed rapidly, as if never injured before.

“Infernal Demon Fire!”

The battle-ready Lilith Hoyle did not know that as she fought with all her might, streams of pitch-black death aura continuously emerged from the Divine Zone.

…

“Something’s not right!”

Grau noticed that as time passed, the Death Mystery Dragon did not weaken at all, but instead grew stronger, to the point that even he started to feel terrified.

“I’m done playing with you!”

Grau used the Dragon Flame Strike to repel the Death Mystery Dragon and then without hesitation deployed an ultimate move he comprehended after ascending to Emperor.

“Five Dragons Sacrifice!”

The next instant, a nightmare-like terrifying aggregate phantom appeared behind Grau.

It was a monster with five necks and five heads, each fierce dragon head of varying colors corresponding to a Five-Colored Giant Dragon, its colorful necks engraved with mystical divine runes.

“The creator of the Evil Dragon, Tiamat?” David Jones looked at the phantom of the giant dragon in red, green, blue, black, and white with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“It seems like It’s looking at you!” Rosalind Louise said with a chill.

David Jones was slightly taken aback, seeing that Tiamat ignored the Death Mystery Dragon before it and directed its eerie gaze towards him, its eyes brimming with greed that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Roar!”

The Gluttonous Beast stepped sideways to block Tiamat’s line of sight, the Chaos Emperor Blade in its mouth spewing out cold light.

Rainbow, Daphne, Loona, and Lolo too stood guard next to David Jones—left and right, above and below—faces alert, ready to cast Instant Teleportation and flee at any moment.

“An aware phantom, just how bizarre is Brother Grau’s skill?”

As David Jones was filled with doubt, Grau had already finished channeling the Dragon Force within him, and a series of unsettling dragonic incantations began to resound throughout the heavens and earth.

“…The Dragon God descends, offering souls as tribute!”

After Grau uttered the last few syllables, David Jones and Rosalind Louise felt an overwhelming pressure that plunged their souls into dead silence. The power was so formidable that not even the defensive barriers set up by Brother Grau could stop it.

“Run, or we’ll surely die!” David Jones and Rosalind Louise exchanged a look, both seeing the same despair in each other’s eyes.

Fortunately, although Grau was sometimes a bit slow, he hadn’t neglected his younger siblings in the heat of battle.

“Boom!”

The next second, Grau instantly appeared in front of David Jones, unleashing a defensive skill specifically designed to shield against the Five Dragons Sacrifice. Otherwise, even as the user of the skill, he might have perished under this deadly move.

Yes, that’s right. The Five Dragons Sacrifice that Grau initiated was a skill not even he could perfectly control!

That skill could summon the consciousness of the evil Dragon God Tiamat, forcing all beings to become tributes to the Dragon God.

Grau believed that even legendary fighters caught by this move would be powerless before the Dragon God Tiamat and would ultimately have to submit meekly as offerings.

Of course, to prevent himself from becoming a target for Tiamat and ending up as one of the offerings, Grau had specifically cultivated a skill to counter the Five Dragons Sacrifice from his inherited memories.

As for why Grau was so cautious, it was purely because there had been precedents.

The consciousness of Tiamat was not easy to control; in history, it had even betrayed many of the Five-Colored Giant Dragons who had used the Five Dragons Sacrifice.

Meanwhile, seeing Grau step in front, the little buddy beside David Jones who had been ready to strike also heaved a sigh of relief.

“Crunch, crunch!”

Elsewhere, like the apocalypse, the massive Dragon Body of the Death Mystery Dragon resounded with the incessant, terrifying sound of chewing.

Starting from the tail, its various parts continuously vanished into nothingness. The unsusceptible nature on the Calamity Mysterious Beast’s body, which allowed it to rapidly recover from injuries, had met its nemesis at this moment.

Unless something unexpected happened, the moment Tiamat finished savoring the taste of the offering, the Death Mystery Dragon would be utterly dead, unable to resurrect.

However, the immense mysterious power of the demon god that joined midway through the Seven Definite Dead Demon reversed this process, using its Dragon Body as a price, allowing the Death Mystery Dragon to survive the Five Dragons Sacrifice.

“What a pity, I couldn’t taste the most delicious dessert this time!” The consciousness of Tiamat reluctantly glanced at where David Jones was, then dissipated helplessly.

There was no helping it. After scattering Its own consciousness across the heavens and earth in search of immortality and failing to prove Itself as the Eternal True God, It now found it hard to kill a foe of equal Grade, let alone harvest them as offerings at will.

“Indeed, this evil dragon had set its sights on me!”

Noticing the regret in Tiamat’s eyes, both David Jones and Grau felt a chill in their hearts.

Glancing at the Death Mystery Dragon, now reduced to a pile of bones, Grau was shocked into a resolution. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never again use the Five Dragons Sacrifice.

David Jones then turned to Grau, intending to ask for clarity about the origins and effects of the Five Dragons Sacrifice.

Just now, he had sensed very clearly through his Dragon-Wielding skill that Tiamat’s targets were not only himself but also Grau.

To put it bluntly, David Jones was genuinely afraid that Grau, the simpleton, might accidentally die from a skill he had awakened!

However, in the next second, David Jones’s attention was drawn away by the Arcane Force, which was agitated and restless.

“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”

The howling wind brought with it the breath of death. Under the incredulous gaze of David Jones and Grau, the Death Mystery Dragon that had died as an offering descended again.

Not only that, but its strength also surged past the barrier between Class VII Overlord and Class VIII Legend, rising in an inexplicable and dramatic way.

At this moment, the surging mysterious power of the demon god roared, and its terrifying domination wreaked havoc.

All life succumbed to silence. As the consciousness of the Seven Definite Dead Demon officially took over the Dragon Body, a pair ofBlood-red dragon eyes slowly opened.

Grau swallowed hard, a note of despair in his voice, “David Jones, this time it looks like we’re really going to die!”
