Chapter 203: You Cannot Do This!
Enesyin defeating the Frost-Forged Dragon was not a surprising outcome. Anyone who knew the details of both parties would understand that the Platinum-haired Dragon Maiden had a significant advantage. Her Talent Artifice, Blazing Steel Flames, was specifically designed to counter the Frost-Forged Dragon. Without any Tier suppression, the Frost-Forged Dragon, being the target of a specialized strategy, was at a complete disadvantage. Furthermore, through her training in Sams, the Platinum-haired Dragon Maiden had a deep understanding of the ancient Evil Dragon’s habits, strengths, and essence.
She refined her combat approach, updated her inherent strategies, precisely targeted weaknesses, and deepened her dragon-slaying plan. According to Enesyin, she had been pursuing the Frost-Forged Dragon for some time, engaging it with her Knight Mech in a series of clashes. Each encounter left the Evil Dragon with new injuries, and she gradually chipped away at its Divinity. Through this prolonged chase, she finally managed to slay it.
“I thought I would be thrilled, but now that I’ve accomplished this great feat, it doesn’t feel like much. I’m just rectifying past regrets, completing something that should have been done long ago.”
Defeating the Frost-Forged Dragon was indeed worth celebrating, but not excessively, as it was within expectations. More pressing was the task of restoring the former order to the Scorching Frost Silver Tundra after defeating the Fiend. For Enesyin, stopping Aseran’s reckless actions was a far more difficult challenge.
“Excellent, everything is proceeding smoothly. Let’s take care of things here first. After knocking on this tortoise shell for so long, it’s finally starting to loosen up.”
Yonglan looked at the barrier enveloping the sky, clenching his fist. The defense barrier of the Dragon’s homeland was indeed incredibly powerful. Yonglan and his companions had been trying to break through these barriers, and with the help of Shariel and others, they finally managed to overcome them today.
With a resounding roar, as the artificers on the fleet chanted in unison, the layers of barriers began to slowly crumble. The Evil Dragons naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch, but if they left the barrier, they would be ambushed and killed. They were powerless to stop the breakthrough.
With a series of thuds, the moment the barrier collapsed, Yonglan struck a pitch-black Evil Dragon with the speed of lightning. It was the Black Dragon that had previously escaped him. The moment the Evil Dragon saw Yonglan, it stealthily moved to the edge, preparing to flee. However, Yonglan had already locked onto his target. The Black Dragon’s attempted teleportation Artifice was brutally interrupted, and its massive body was sent flying by Yonglan towards the fortress in the sky.
The Black Dragon Evil Dragon’s body was suppressed by the tiny human. It looked up at Yonglan, and after a long pause, it trembled, “Xi, can we reconcile?”
“Are you joking at a time like this?” Yonglan sneered, cruelly rejecting the Black Dragon’s plea for mercy. Without hesitation, the Soul Devouring Blade entered a restricted release state. Even when facing a group of weakened, they were still Demigod-level Evil Dragons. One must go all out even when hunting a rabbit, let alone a Godslayer facing Demigods. To avoid prolonged conflict, Yonglan needed to kill the Evil Dragon with overwhelming force, converting its power into his own.
With a piercing cry, as the soul blade displayed an unprecedented form, a cyan blade of light smoothly pierced the Black Dragon’s head. Its astonished expression was still frozen on its face, and the powerful spell it had been secretly brewing dissolved instantly.
[Soul of the Evil Dragon]
[The Evil Dragons, blessed and acknowledged by the Dragon God, are thus the immortal Evil Dragons.]
[However, so-called immortality is merely a vain pursuit of dragons. Thus, what dragons achieve is not immortality, but heritage and reproduction.]
[Dragons born beneath the sea of stars will guide the trajectory of the starry sky’s movement. This Authority will steal the sunlight from the heavens for its own use.]
[Extracted by Authority, it can be used as a material or to replenish Spirit Matter.]
Yonglan glanced at the description and crushed the soul cluster of the Black Dragon, devouring it on the spot.
“Hoo… refreshing.” He spread his arms, feeling the satisfaction of the Evil Dragon’s Divinity and soul energy being absorbed by the Remnant Smelter. He hadn’t feasted like this in a long time since the operation to clear the Fiends. The Divinity contained in the previous Evil Dragon he killed couldn’t compare to this aged specimen at all.
The surrounding Evil Dragons, witnessing Yonglan devour their comrade’s soul, were terrified. “Gulp… you scoundrel, you can’t, you absolutely cannot do this!”
“Why can’t I? I will not only devour all of you, but I will also taste the flavor of Celestial Gods, including the Dragon God!” Yonglan cackled, unwilling to waste a single second of his released Soul Devouring Blade. He charged directly at the remaining Evil Dragons. The released Soul Devouring Blade truly lived up to its name as a “Godslayer weapon.” Its slightly curved cyan blade was proportionate even to the massive bodies of the Evil Dragons. Their dragon scale armor, said to withstand countless Artifices and be indestructible, was easily pierced by the cyan blade as if it were hot butter.
Hot dragon blood gushed out, dissipating in the air like mist. The wounded Evil Dragons let out a fierce roar, flapped their wings, and turned to flee. However, facing the Godslayer covered in Embers, their escape proved futile. Spatial teleportation Artifices required channeling, leaving them vulnerable to be killed multiple times during the cast. And if they relied on their own speed…
Path of Ultimate Art!
Yonglan stepped on the void, using the layers of space as a platform to push off. With a boom, ripples of space erupted, and the sound of glass-like vibrations shattered incessantly. A large area of space behind Yonglan was directly shattered, with countless thick black cracks spreading out, a shocking sight. As a consequence of such destruction, the Evil Dragon fleeing with its back to Yonglan, despite desperately trying to fly, was caught up by Yonglan in an instant. The released Godslayer weapon severed the Evil Dragon’s wings, and the spear of Lightning summoned from his right palm pierced and pinned its limbs.
What followed was an extremely brutal execution. The cyan holy blade tore at the dragon’s body. To kill the Evil Dragon, which possessed nearly infinite vitality, as quickly as possible, Yonglan used the most direct method: “dismemberment.” In a single breath, there were hundreds of slashes, piercings, and hammer blows. The magnificent Evil Dragon was casually butchered on the ground like frozen fish on a cutting board. The cyan sword and various soul-forged weapons were used in conjunction, flesh, bones, and organs scattering amidst the storm of attacks until the Evil Dragon was reduced to a pile of碎骨 (suǐgǔ – broken bones), its soul extricated and blood drunk.
After successively slaughtering two Evil Dragons, the remaining Evil Dragons were even more terrified. The older, more life-preserving dragons found it increasingly difficult to remain calm under the threat of death.
“No running! Hold the line!” A slender Evil Dragon, enveloped in icy blue light, commanded, “Scattering and fleeing will only lead to him catching and killing us! Our speed is no match for his evasion. Surround him!”
“The fall of the barrier will surely attract my Lord’s attention! They will descend soon. We just need to hold on for this moment!” At his call, the Evil Dragons, being experienced veterans, quickly united, ready to advance and retreat together to resist the Godslayer’s invasion.
“Tch.” Everything the Evil Dragon said was correct. The only variable that could stop Yonglan from wreaking havoc was the descent of the Dragon God. He couldn’t hesitate any longer; he had to go all out! Perhaps he should try the “Soul Melting Technique” again. Since he could use it in reality, there was even more reason to expect unexpected surprises in this chaotic ancient era.
