Chapter 5: Divine Dragon War Demon King
The Golden Light Sword Finger sliced through the stars, aiming for the Old Ghost King's head.
The Old Ghost King suddenly felt a life-threatening aura surge towards him. Alarmed, he hurriedly summoned the Desolate Tower to defend himself.
Clang...
This Golden Light Sword Finger was overwhelmingly powerful, accompanied by an indescribable metallic clash. The Desolate Tower shattered into pieces. Yet, the Golden Light Sword Finger did not dissipate and continued to pierce towards the Old Ghost King's head.
Ah...
The Old Ghost King let out a painful scream, feeling as if his head was about to split apart. He summoned all his Chaotic Energy to resist this Golden Light Sword Finger, barely managing to save himself in time.
However, at that moment, Lin Feng's Golden Light Sword Finger arrived.
Two Golden Light Sword Fingers struck together, breaking through the chaotic defenses and piercing into the Old Ghost King's head.
"Ah ah ah..."
The Old Ghost King's cries of agony grew even more intense as he clutched his head tightly, trying to prevent it from splitting open. From the center of his brow, Essence Blood flowed down the corners of his eyes, sliding down his face in a shocking display.
"What kind of Divine Ability is this?" members of the Guan Family were somewhat astonished.
Dugu Po pondered, "It must be a Divine Ability created by my junior brother."
"Two fingers are enough to pose a threat to the Old Ghost King. If there were a third finger, it could take his life," Dugu Po remarked.
However, the third lethal Golden Light Sword Finger did not appear. When the two Golden Light Sword Fingers successfully entered the Old Ghost King's Sea of Consciousness, their power dissipated. They failed to strike the Old Ghost King's Primordial Spirit, falling just short of success.
The Old Ghost King narrowly escaped from the gates of hell, cold sweat soaking his clothes. He immediately stepped back to steady his mind. His head throbbed painfully, with two bloody holes in his skull.
In the vast starry sky, another figure appeared—it was the Wind Spirit.
"Why hasn't Miaomiao shown up?" Master Da pondered, clearly troubled. Lin Feng's mention of the Divine Ability involved three people. If Miaomiao had appeared for a surprise attack, she could have killed the Old Ghost King. What had happened to Lin Miaomiao that she was not present?
The Old Ghost King’s face was covered in blood as he glared at Lin Feng and the Wind Spirit, murderous intent boiling within him. "You two have actually cultivated into Preparatory Emperors."
Lin Feng replied coldly, "Do you think you can initiate the Apocalyptic War? Prepare to die."
With that, Lin Feng made his move, followed closely by Lin Miaomiao.
Roar...
In the boundless Void, a massive golden dragon suddenly appeared, swirling majestically like a galaxy in motion. Those on Desolate Star were shocked to see the Divine Dragon emerge; they all fell to their knees in gratitude for its great grace.
"In this era, there are still people who can cultivate into a Divine Dragon Foundation," the Old Ghost King exclaimed in astonishment. The dragon was the foremost among the four divine beasts and the king of the beast clan, surpassing even Tao Tie.
Without his damaged Imperial Artifact, the Old Ghost King could only rely on his own cultivation to battle the Divine Dragon. The two met in mid-air. The Old Ghost King still looked down on him, saying, "But you are merely a junior; what power do you possess that can match the Divine Dragon?"
Bang...
The Old Ghost King's black chains struck out, extending for countless miles. They wrapped tightly around the Divine Ability, attempting to strangle the Divine Dragon.
Roar...
The Divine Dragon let out a thunderous roar that shattered stars. It swung its claws and tore apart the black chains. As it rolled away, the chains shot out in all directions, piercing through distant stars.
The Old Ghost King never expected that his own chains would turn against him. He hurriedly dodged but was ultimately struck by several pieces of chain that pierced through his body.
The Old Ghost King looked at the numerous wounds on his body, unsure of how much blood he had lost. He roared in anger, "Today, I shall bathe in Dragon Blood and achieve the path of the Emperor."
The Divine Dragon opened its massive mouth, large enough to swallow a star. The Old Ghost, failing to strike a blow, retreated with all his might. However, he was caught off guard from behind and had a piece of skin torn away by the Divine Ability.
The Old Ghost King let out a heart-wrenching scream and realized the dire situation: "Your physical body is terrifying like that of an Emperor. You have not merely cultivated into a Divine Dragon. Where did you find the body of the Great Success Divine Dragon? Have you occupied the body of the Great Success Divine Dragon?"
The Old Ghost King exclaimed in shock; the body of the Great Success Divine Dragon was comparable to that of an Emperor. No wonder his black chains had failed to harm the Divine Dragon in the slightest.
The Divine Dragon remained silent, continuing to move and reach for the Old Ghost King.
"Do you think you can defeat me with just your physical body?"
The Old Ghost King sneered; it was clear that in a physical confrontation, he was no match. This time, he chose to attack from a distance using his Divine Ability. His Divine Ability was unmatched by Lin Feng or Wind Spirit.
"God-Slaying Technique."
All the power of the Divine Ruins surged forth; this was already his final battle. The Old Ghost King no longer held back and unleashed his strongest Divine Ability. In an instant, chilling winds howled, sending shivers down spines.
A mournful wail echoed throughout the Void, omnipresent. The starry sky seemed to transform into the Underworld.
At that moment, in the heart of the Demon Clan's stronghold on Desolate Star, a massive amount of Eerie Energy rose up, coalescing into an enormous skull. This skull flew above Desolate Star, leaving behind a trail of wailing souls.
Thousands of living beings were devoured by the skull's energy, their lives extinguished and transformed into black bones.
As more and more lives perished, the Eerie Energy they left behind ascended into the sky, all converging into the Old Ghost King's body, gradually increasing his power.
Lin Feng watched this scene with fury and shouted, "You have reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm! Killing these defenseless people is utterly insane."
"Help me ascend to the path of the Emperor; their deaths are their honor," replied the Old Ghost King coldly as he continued to absorb endless Eerie Energy.
Above the Desolate Star, Master Da focused on the location where the skull had risen. He solemnly declared, "The lair of the Demon Clan has eluded us for too long, but today we finally found it. Kill."
Master Da charged forward, confronting the skull alone to prevent it from devouring living beings. However, he was no match for the skull and was repeatedly knocked back, bleeding.
Dugu Po, the Guan Family, Fire Vein, Li Jing, and all the top human experts seized the moment to rush into the territory of the Demon Clan.
"Who dares to invade my Ghost Sect's Mountain Gate?" shouted the leader of Ghost Sect.
"Your father has come," replied Fire Vein as he charged ahead. Dugu Po stopped him and said, "Leave this person to me. You take the others and quickly destroy the Demon Clan's Eight Directions God-Slaying Formation."
"Understood." Fire Vein departed.
Before long, the Guan Family fought their way toward the Demon Clan's forces, locating the formation's core. Leading Fire Vein and Li Jing, they struck with all their might to break it.
The skull in the Void began to dim, gradually disappearing into nothingness.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Hey ghostly thing, it seems like your stuff is gone? Are you hiding out of embarrassment?"
Old Ghost King watched in fury as the human forces completely overturned his lair and destroyed his meticulously arranged Eight Directions God-Slaying Formation that had taken thousands of years to set up. Enraged, he shouted, "You brat, I will kill you."
Not daring to approach directly, Old Ghost King summoned all his Chaotic Energy to form a massive Palm Seal that resembled a star, descending upon Lin Feng and Divine Dragon.
Divine Dragon remained undaunted and charged through with full force. With its terrifying physical strength, it shattered the enormous Palm Seal and then opened its mouth to unleash a fireball as large as a star toward Old Ghost King.
"Divine Dragon breathes fire."
Old Ghost King was taken aback and hurriedly retreated while summoning Chaotic Energy for defense. The Chaotic Energy coalesced into a black sphere as large as a star, positioned in front of Old Ghost King.
The massive fireball collided with the Black Sphere, producing a terrifyingly loud roar.
Thunderous Roar...
The Divine Dragon's cultivation ultimately fell short of the Old Ghost King. After a stalemate that lasted for a tea's worth of time, the fireball expelled by the Divine Dragon dissipated into nothingness.
"Child, you are still a bit too inexperienced," the Old Ghost King said with a smug smile.
However, something unexpected happened.
From within the fireball that the Divine Dragon had expelled, a sword emerged. This sword appeared plain and unremarkable, its light yellow hue radiating an aura of terrifying danger. Just as the fireball vanished, the sword shot out. (To be continued...)
