Chapter 1804: Dragon God's Blood

The Dragon God of Scorching Destruction, whose eyes had briefly closed, now reopened them with exceptional slowness. Countless black butterflies drifted into his pupils, yet they could no longer obscure the divine radiance within.

"Such petty, deviant tricks are nothing but trifles!"

"No matter how powerful your sinister demonic soul may be, how can it compare to a Dragon God's? Perish, along with your ignorance and arrogance!"

Divine might suddenly erupted from the Dragon God's body, like countless blazing suns exploding. The endless sea of lava also surged upwards, coiling into the sky. Both the blazing suns and the lava simultaneously engulfed and overwhelmed the dark lotus petals that fluttered across the heavens.

The Dragon God's soul exhibited no complex or strange transformations; it was simply as absolute and indomitable as their physical form, capable of destroying anything.

The dark lotus petals, condensed from an extremely high level of dark soul power, ultimately appeared frail before the overwhelming Dragon Soul.

As the blazing suns and lava made contact, under the unimaginably mighty soul of the Dragon God, the petals struggled for only a few breaths before gradually dissolving.

Dragon roars shook the soul sea, and the Dragon Soul violently destroyed everything in its path. Petal after petal vanished, like shattered illusions. Gradually, the black light that had filled the sky diminished, and darkness receded layer by layer within the soul sea.

In the quiet space on the northern border, Chi Wuyao's true form had her long hair somewhat disheveled and scattered. Tiny black butterflies, seemingly materialized from the soul world, fluttered slowly around her. Her tightly closed eyes had long lashes that trembled continuously.

Facing her, however, the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction remained as still as a mountain, his expression unwavering from beginning to end.

"An unsurprising outcome..." the Dragon God of Pure Soul murmured.

Confined to the Northern Divine Region, never having witnessed a Dragon God's soul, yet daring to presume her demonic soul was unparalleled in the world—how laughable.

While observing the battle, she also kept a vigilant eye on the auras of Jie Xin and Jie Ling, to prevent these two devil girls from suddenly attacking during the soul clash—a despicable tactic scorned by the Dragon Race, but one the Devil Race was undoubtedly adept at.

The destruction by the blazing suns and lava accelerated, and the trajectory of the increasingly withered devil flowers became chaotic.

Chi Wuyao's soul sea trembled incessantly. As the dark devil flowers neared extinction, it even showed signs of collapse.

Once it collapsed, such severe soul damage would be impossible to recover from quickly... it might even be permanently incomplete.

Her true form also began to sway. The surrounding black butterflies vanished, and even the black mist that had always enveloped her grew thin, occasionally revealing a glimpse of her excessively pale, jade-like face amidst its lingering wisps.

Her struggle and persistence were ultimately futile. As the world became almost devoid of black light, only a single, final dark lotus petal remained fluttering in the coalesced soul sea, slowly descending directly above the colossal dragon shadow.

Its emitted demonic light was faint, carrying an almost desperate, gloomy aura.

"'This will be the decision you regret most in this life.' I warned you long ago; this is the price of ignorance and arrogance."

He did not immediately destroy this last humble demonic light. The Dragon God's arrogant and commanding roar, present from the beginning, now carried deep mockery and ridicule, along with a hint of pity.

He disdained to destroy the final devil flower, allowing it to fall freely towards his dragon shadow, as if it were a granted mercy. The moment the devil flower touched the dragon shadow would be its instant annihilation.

The devil flower drifted lightly and faintly, its descent uniform and slow. Just as it finally touched the dragon shadow, Chi Wuyao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a faint demonic sound:

"Is that so?"

The instant it touched the dragon shadow of Scorching Destruction, the final devil flower suddenly burst, transforming into a twisted black shadow.

Aaaaaargh—

Sinister, painful, hateful, violent, chilling... it was an indescribably terrifying shriek, so dreadful that it instantly froze the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's soul domain, then plunged it into fear amidst the cold.

Fear... something utterly unfamiliar to him.

The demonic shadow, screaming, lunged towards the dragon shadow. Only a few feet in size, it was incredibly tiny before the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's shadow. It pounced onto the dragon's head, its grotesque black claws striking downwards.

The dragon's head was pierced, and a black mark spread downwards, penetrating directly through the colossal dragon body.

"Uwaaaaah—!"

The pain of a torn soul far surpassed any bodily torment. The Dragon God of Scorching Destruction suddenly let out the most agonizing scream of his life.

Even more intense than the agony of a torn soul was the terror that nearly tore apart his lifelong beliefs.

His soul... the soul of the strongest Dragon God, had actually been pierced in an instant!?

"Wh-what!?" The Dragon God of Pure Soul was so shocked she nearly had a heart attack.

Amidst the pain and horror, the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's counterattack erupted violently. All his soul power surged uncontrollably towards the tiny dark demonic shadow.

How immensely powerful and terrifying was a Dragon God's soul power in a fit of rage! The dark soul shadow trembled, wavered, and twisted under the impact, yet it clung on stubbornly, refusing to be dislodged. Its demonic claws, as if from the depths of purgatory, frantically tore at the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's soul.

Tearing, ripping, shredding, and shredding again...

"Hoo-waaaah... Aaaaahhh... Uwaaaahhh..."

The Dragon God of Pure Soul, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, could not believe that this shriek came from the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction.

His soul surged and trembled like a collapsing sky, and the release of his soul power gradually turned frantic. In the end, he even resorted to self-bombardment... yet no matter what, he could not shake off the possessing demonic soul.

The Dragon God of Scorching Destruction roared, and the Dragon God of Pure Soul trembled. By this point, both clearly perceived that the tiny, mere wisp of a demonic soul was on a plane far superior to that of a Dragon God's soul... a strange demonic soul that simply should not exist.

The souls of the Dragon God clan were indeed as mighty as their bodies, the most powerful in the current age, fully deserving of their right to look down upon all other races and beings.

If one had to name a soul in this era capable of rivaling a Dragon God's, it would likely only be the immaculate divine soul of Shui Meiyin from the Glazed Light Realm, born in the Eastern Divine Region in this age.

However, the Dragon God Realm could never have imagined that within this space called the God Realm, in the dark Northern Divine Region—a place they considered pathetic—a wisp of a demonic soul from an ancient Devil Emperor still lingered!

The Nirvana Devil Soul!

This wisp of the Devil Emperor's soul, unwilling to dissipate, had wandered the dark Northern Divine Region for countless years. Finally, before it completely vanished, it encountered a woman with whom it could perfectly resonate... thus establishing the Devil Queen, renowned throughout the Northern Divine Region, and the Soul Stealing Realm.

Although it was only a faint wisp, its level of existence was far beyond what any later Dragon God's soul could compare to.

The colossal Dragon Soul and the faint Devil Soul were like a decaying tree obscuring the sky facing a sharp steel needle. The Dragon Soul desperately struggled and counterattacked, yet it was pierced and torn repeatedly until it was riddled with holes.

Finally, the fear of his soul being ripped apart overcame the Dragon God's pride. He ceased his counterattacks and struggles, instead frantically trying to retract his soul domain.

Fleeing in disarray—this would be a humiliation that the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction could never erase, even unto death.

However, under the restraint of the Nirvana Devil Soul, escape was not simply a matter of wanting to.

The colossal dragon shadow, which had earlier displayed boundless heavenly might, now thrashed about wildly, roaring repeatedly, completely devoid of its former dominant presence.

The lava also crumbled chaotically, and the entire soul domain world seemed on the verge of collapse.

Rip!Tear!!

Black marks overlapped upon black marks. Under incredibly brutal tearing, the colossal dragon shadow had visibly deformed, imprinted with twisted dark symbols that remained utterly unscattered even under the Dragon God's immense soul power impact.

Finally, with a deafening roar deep within his consciousness, the soul domains of the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction and Chi Wuyao forcibly separated.

"Ugh!" The Dragon God of Scorching Destruction staggered violently, his face contorted in pain, and his wide, furious dragon eyes were filled with chaos.

Chi Wuyao's eyes snapped open, and her figure suddenly surged forward. As her fingers danced, a black silk ribbon released a dark demonic light, striking directly at the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's chest.

"Gah..." Still emitting a pained groan, the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction suddenly looked up, extended an arm, and formed his hand into a claw. Instantly condensing immense dragon might, he lashed out directly at the approaching black ribbon.

In terms of physical body and power, he was second only to the Dragon Emperor in this age.

But just as his dragon claw and the black ribbon were about to meet, a black light suddenly flashed in the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's dragon eyes... He felt his chaotic soul being fiercely torn apart once more by a pitch-black demonic blade.

"Aaaaahhh—"

His scream shook the heavens, his dragon might dispersed, and with a thunderous crash, the black ribbon easily swept aside the attacking dragon claw, striking directly at the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction's chest.

Even the mighty Scorching Destruction, under Chi Wuyao's power, had his chest cave in and was sent flying sideways.

He broke free from the soul sea, fleeing the soul battle with Chi Wuyao in utter disarray... but he had not completely escaped the lingering ravages of the Nirvana Devil Soul.

"Brother!"

The Dragon God of Pure Soul was astonished. Disregarding all notions of Dragon God dignity, she unleashed a burst of dragon energy that scattered thousands of miles of shattered clouds, intending to strike Chi Wuyao.

But before she could act, two streaks of pitch-black light suddenly shot towards her.

Jie Xin and Jie Ling.

Their unexpected speed and soul-piercing demonic aura made the Dragon God of Pure Soul frown. Her hand gesture sharply changed, and her dragon energy immediately swept horizontally towards the twin devil girls who had attacked in an instant.

Jie Xin and Jie Ling wielded identical pitch-black demonic swords. Both swords moved and swung simultaneously, weaving two uniformly perfect and astonishing black marks that directly severed and shattered the dragon energy. Then, they instantly converged into a single point, stabbing directly at the Dragon God of Pure Soul's glabella.

The Dragon God of Pure Soul was shocked again. She was not surprised by the twin devil girls' perfectly synchronized movements, but rather by their current aura... a dark demonic energy so powerful it vastly exceeded her predictions.

News had come from the Eastern Divine Region long ago that devils above the Divine King realm seemed to have gained the ability to conceal their demonic energy, unlike the previous understanding that it would easily spill out uncontrollably.

But now, facing them directly, the two devil girls' demeanor when quiet compared to their explosive power still gave her a huge "surprise."

Misjudgment was secondary; she suddenly realized that her previous haughtiness had become a joke.

For as the twin devil girls easily shattered her dragon energy, tens of thousands of years of experience allowed her to instantly make a judgment:

Against one of them, she could certainly win.

But against both, she had no chance of victory!

She flicked her long sleeve, twisting the void. With a clang, the two dark demonic swords veered off course, then suddenly flew from the devil girls' hands, splitting into four dark daggers in mid-air, cutting towards different vital points of the Dragon God of Pure Soul.

Most divine relic weapons were powered by immense strength. Demonic relic weapons, however, were mostly insidious artifacts, designed to catch newcomers off guard.

Hiss! Slash!

Four seemingly endless, pitch-black gashes appeared in the void, like solid black objects impaled horizontally, lingering for a long time.

The afterimage of the Dragon God of Pure Soul vanished within the four intersecting black gashes. Her true form reappeared ten miles away, and then she silently raised her right hand.

On her right wrist, her plain white wide sleeve had a two-inch long tear.

Pure Soul's calm facade cracked, and her light eyes narrowed in fury. She spread her arms, unleashing her full dragon might... But before her wrath could fully erupt, the near-guttural screams of the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction once again reached her ears.

Bang! Bang! Boom!!

Under Chi Wuyao's dark power, the Dragon God of Scorching Destruction was forced back step by step. As the light suddenly dimmed, Chi Wuyao's gaze abruptly intensified. Her jade-like hand lightly swept, and a colossal dark vortex, a hundred zhang wide, dispersed Scorching Destruction's chaotic defensive dragon power, striking directly at his chest.

The darkness exploded, spreading into a pitch-black galaxy.

Pfft—

Noble dragon blood spurted wildly into the air.

He had not seen his own blood for unknown years, had even forgotten its taste and color, yet now it sprayed out into this defiled space near the Northern Divine Region.
