Chapter 621: Chapter 621: The Fall of the Dragon Emperor

In a cavern deep beneath the Royal Palace of the Dragon Kingdom, countless strange and mysterious Demon Patterns were inscribed.

Within the cavern stood a Divine Statue nine meters tall. It had the head of a dragon, the body of a man, and a pair of dragon wings on its back. Its entire form was inscribed with countless profound Demon Patterns, emanating terrifying waves of Magic Power.

A young man stood silently beneath the Divine Statue. He had long, crimson hair, a tall and sturdy build, and was exceptionally handsome, appearing to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. Two dragon horns grew from his head.

This horned young man was none other than the King of the Dragon Kingdom—the Dragon Emperor!

The Dragon Kingdom was primarily composed of Dragon-men and Half-Dragon People. The Dragon-men were nobles who possessed pure Giant Dragon blood. Most of them were humanoid in form and had dragon horns. Their ancestors were the offspring of Top-Level, Legend-rank Giant Dragons who could take human form and humans.

The Half-Dragon People, on the other hand, were tall beings with the heads of dragons and human bodies covered in scales. They were the descendants born from the intermarriage of Dragon-men with humans, other Sub-humans, Beastmen, or other races.

Within the Dragon Kingdom, Dragon-men were the nobility, Half-Dragon People were commoners, and the other Sub-human races were either commoners or slaves.

The Dragon-man population in the Dragon Kingdom was not large, numbering only a little over six million. The population of Half-Dragon People and other races, however, was in the hundreds of millions.

"Dragon Emperor, your beloved Christine is about to marry another man. There is nothing left for you in this world."

"You must know that the Andoras World is doomed. You don’t want to stay here and be buried with it, do you?"

"Join us! Join my ranks, accept an infusion of the Power of Void Demon, and you will become much more powerful."

"Only when the Andoras World is destroyed will you have the chance to seize more resources, undergo a complete transformation, and evolve into a Void Demon King to control your own destiny."

"That human, Kahn, is a mere mortal, an insignificant ant. If you accept my Power, you can surpass him in a single stroke, even kill him, and snatch Christine from his hands!"

"In this world, the only truth is that the strong devour the weak!"

A series of tempting words drifted from the dragon-headed, human-bodied Divine Statue, which radiated an Evil Aura.

The Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom had once traveled with the Elf Queen. He was her companion and also one of the admirers of Elf Queen Christine.

"Dragon Demon King! I know you harbor ill intentions, that you want me to fall from grace and become one of your dogs! But it doesn’t matter! As long as I can kill Kahn and have Christine, I’m willing to become a Void Demon!"

Flames of intense jealousy burned in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes as he enunciated each word. He saw the Dragon Demon King’s intentions as clear as day, yet he was still willing to be corrupted by the Power of Void Demon, for his heart was already consumed with jealousy for Shu Feng.

The Dragon Emperor splayed his fingers, and the countless Demon Patterns that enveloped the underground cavern all vanished.

"Haha! You’ve finally agreed to my offer! Hahaha! Excellent! Let me bestow Power upon you!"

The Divine Statue of the Dragon Demon King let out waves of bizarre laughter. With a flicker of ripples, a fruit materialized. It looked as if it were constructed from countless human faces and radiated an Evil Aura.

"Swallow this fruit! Then recite the incantation and pray to me, and I will grant you Power! I will make you a true Demigod!"

His face expressionless, the Dragon Emperor swallowed the evil fruit made of human faces in a single gulp.

The next moment, a bizarre, twisted Power of Void Demon surged from the evil fruit and began to frantically corrode the Dragon Emperor’s body.

The Dragon Emperor let out a wretched scream as human faces began to appear all over his body, emitting waves of bizarre shrieks. A searing pain radiated from his very soul, so agonizing he wished for death, nearly driving him to suicide.

"Recite the prayer!"

A voice flooded into the Dragon Emperor’s mind.

Gritting his teeth, the Dragon Emperor quickly began to chant a blood-chilling, evil prayer.

A torrent of black energy, vast as a mountain and deep as the sea, gushed from the Divine Statue of the Dragon Demon King and poured into the Dragon Emperor’s body.

Only then did the Dragon Emperor’s nearly collapsing body manage to stabilize. Pitch-black Dragon Scales began to cover him, his torso and head transformed into that of a dragon, a pair of black dragon wings emerged from his back, and his body began to swell and elongate, growing ever more terrifying.

「Seven days later.」

A terrifying, incredibly powerful wave of energy radiating an Evil Aura emanated from the Dragon Emperor’s body. He had become a four-meter-tall monster with a pair of dragon wings, a body covered in black Dragon Scales, and the head of a dragon atop a humanoid frame.

’So this is the transformation ritual of a Void Demon Duke? Such immense Power! I can feel that I’m more than five times stronger than before, and there’s still room for me to grow stronger.’

’Kahn, you just wait! I’ll tear you to shreds and take Christine for myself!’

A vicious glint flashed in the Dragon Emperor’s eyes. He opened his mouth and inhaled, crazily absorbing the Power of Void Demon gushing from the Demon King Statue, his aura growing even stronger.

’Fool! How could a prime specimen like Elf Queen Christine be wasted on a lowly creature like you? A prize like that should obviously be sold to the Wind Moon Demon Hall for Cultivation Resources! In exchange for her, I might be able to get the Cultivation Resources I need to advance to a Lower-Rank Demon King.’

The Dragon Demon King watched the Dragon Emperor frantically absorbing the Power of Void Demon, a flicker of mockery in its eyes.

By consuming the evil fruit granted by the Dragon Demon King, the Dragon Emperor had evolved into a Void Demon Duke in a single stroke. His power had skyrocketed and he had transformed, but he had also fallen completely under the Dragon Demon King’s control, unable to disobey its commands.

Evil, gleeful fluctuations flickered in the Dragon Demon King’s eyes. ’Elf Queen Christine... a specimen of her quality could be the star attraction of an entire nation. If I can get her, my schemes and investments in the Andoras World will have paid off more than a hundredfold.’

The Void Demon Kings within the Void Demon Realm were keen on conquering the many Little Worlds of the Lower Realms. By pulling these Little Worlds into the Void Demon Realm, They could receive a gift from the Void Demon Realm Origin and become even more powerful.

In addition, the native inhabitants of those Little Worlds could be taken as slaves. The most brilliant prodigies from these worlds would be sold in the slave markets of the Void Demon Realm in exchange for various resources.

Elf Queen Christine possessed a beauty that even a Divine Spirit would envy. If she were to be sold to the Wind Moon Demon Hall, the resources obtained in exchange might be even greater than the boon the Void Demon Kings received from the Void Demon Realm Origin.
