Chapter 259: Grand Finale

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Grand Finale

The four Divine Beast babies followed close to their respective fathers. The Fox Baby’s phosphorus fire illuminated the monsters’ weak points for Fei Zhao.

The White Tiger Cub’s Platinum Flames coated Ying Jiuyao’s claw tips.

The Swan Baby’s Wings formed a protective shield for Seville, while the Butterfly Wing Baby’s Phosphorus Powder helped him freeze the Poisonous Saliva.

The Mermaid Baby sucked furiously on his pacifier, his little tail flicking out a sky full of ice shards to aid Lan Cangming.

"Night Abyss, go back and be with Anan."

Seville’s divine Golden Light forced back a wave of monsters. He turned his head and roared at Night Abyss.

"Alright!"

Night Abyss flapped his dragon Wings, turned, and flew back to Su An’an’s bedchamber.

"The Dragon Baby is coming."

Su An’an clutched Night Abyss’s palm, able to feel the Dragon Baby tumbling around inside her belly.

"Okay!"

Night Abyss condensed Black Dragon Essence Qi in his palm, about to send it into Su An’an’s body.

Suddenly, two black flames flared to life on his chest.

Almost simultaneously, several muffled groans were heard from outside the hall.

The flames on Lan Cangming’s arm abruptly ignited, and the power of his swishing fishtail instantly weakened.

The Fox Fire mark on Fei Zhao’s shoulder burned bright red, and his evasive maneuvers became noticeably sluggish.

Flames erupted on Ying Jiuyao and Seville at the same time. The Empire’s defensive line retreated step by step amidst the Beast Husbands’ cries of pain.

"This can’t go on..."

Su An’an curled up in pain, watching the veins bulge on Night Abyss’s arm. "They’re taking on my pain for me! The defensive line is about to collapse!"

She suddenly grabbed Night Abyss’s wrist, a look of grim resolve in her eyes. "I’m going to force the dragon fetus to mature!"

"Anan, don’t do anything rash!"

Night Abyss tried to stop her, but he saw Divine Light flare up around Su An’an’s body, surging through her bloodline and into her lower abdomen.

As if it had received a command, the dragon fetus in her womb began to slam violently against her internal organs.

"We can’t wait any longer!"

Su An’an hissed through gritted teeth. "Hong Chengtian is absorbing the death energy from the battlefield! The longer we drag this out, the stronger he gets!"

An excruciating, bone-deep pain suddenly exploded within her, and Su An’an collapsed hard onto her knees.

Dragon markings slithered wildly beneath her skin, and the Golden Light flowing through her veins grew ever brighter.

The dragon fetus was devouring her Life Force, forcing its way out of her womb prematurely.

The outer city’s final defensive line was about to crumble. From within Hong Chengtian’s black mist came a maniacal laugh:

"Give up! Her Life Force will soon be drained dry by the dragon fetus!"

Just then, the Five Great Beast Husbands exchanged a glance and simultaneously poured their power into Su An’an’s body through their contract.

The flame insignias on their bodies burned and crackled, yet not one of them retreated a single step.

BOOM—

The entire sky was suddenly torn asunder. The sound that erupted from Su An’an as she threw her head back was no longer a human scream, but a heaven-and-earth-shaking dragon’s roar.

Golden Light erupted from her abdomen, ripping through the giant maw of black mist like a sharp sword.

Night Abyss lunged forward to support her trembling body, only to see the faint outline of a dragon tail swishing within the Golden Light at her abdomen, about to break free from its confines.

A look of shock finally crossed Hong Chengtian’s face. "Stop her!"

It was too late.

A tiny golden dragon burst from her body. It spiraled through the air before landing on Su An’an’s palm, its golden draconic eyes already locked onto Hong Chengtian’s figure.

It was only as thick as a finger, yet its presence made the black mist covering the battlefield recede as if doused with boiling oil.

Hong Chengtian’s Eye of Demon opened completely. "Kill that dragon!"

A tide of demons surged madly toward the altar, only to be intercepted halfway by five figures.

Lan Cangming’s fishtail whipped up a colossal wave, freezing the entire front rank of monsters solid.

Fei Zhao’s Fox Fire linked together into a firewall, searing the very foundation of the black mist.

Ying Jiuyao transformed into his true White Tiger form. With a sweep of his giant claws, he sent monsters scattering in disarray.

Seville spread his holy Wings, and wherever their light passed, the evil energy dissolved.

Night Abyss’s dragon breath cracked like a long, black whip, lashing any monsters that slipped through the net into flying ash.

"Don’t even think of getting near Anan!"

Night Abyss’s dragon Wings unfurled behind him, his black scales reflecting the Golden Light as he and the other four Beast Husbands formed an impenetrable barrier.

Su An’an looked down at the golden Dragon Baby in her palm. The little one was nuzzling its head against her fingertips, its golden draconic eyes filled with trust.

She raised her hand and infused her Divine Power into the golden dragon, murmuring softly, "Baby, it’s time we showed him the power of the Five Races."

As if it understood her words, the Dragon Baby suddenly shot up toward the heavens, its juvenile roar once again echoing across the world.

The clouds were instantly torn apart as a beam of pure Golden Light descended from the firmament, precisely enveloping the five divine babies.

"Mother!" The Fox Baby’s ears shot up, and the nine tails behind him bloomed with the glowing patterns of his Illusion Technique. "Our powers are resonating!"

The Swan Baby and the Butterfly Wing Baby spread their Wings in unison. The domain of holy light expanded abruptly, turning any pouncing monster that touched its glow to ash.

The Mermaid Baby, still with a pacifier in his mouth, flicked his chubby little fishtail, and a current of water instantly formed an indestructible barrier.

The White Tiger Cub’s claws ignited with white fire, which intertwined with the Dragon Baby’s Golden Light to form a net.

"Now!"

Su An’an forced herself to her feet, gathering the last of her Divine Power at her fingertips. "Five spirits, to your positions! Seal Hong Chengtian!"

The five divine babies leaped up at once, instantly occupying the five elemental positions.

The Fox Clan took the east, their Illusion Technique forming myriad chains that bound Hong Chengtian’s limbs.

The Swan and Butterfly Clan guarded the west, their holy light tightening like a cage to suppress the surging evil from the Eye of Demon.

The White Tiger stood guard in the north, its Flame Power tearing at Hong Chengtian’s Divine Soul like sharp blades.

The mermaid occupied the south, currents of water forming an array that sealed off all paths of retreat.

The Dragon Clan hovered in the center, its roar making the very earth tremble.

The Golden Light coalesced into a sealing rune and branded itself fiercely onto the three hearts in Hong Chengtian’s chest!

"No!"

Hong Chengtian let out a bloodcurdling roar. The black mist churned madly, but it could not break free from the power of the five spirits. "Do you think you can truly destroy me like this?"

His body began to disintegrate within the Golden Light, but his Eye of Demon glared hatefully at Su An’an as a venomous voice pierced the air: "As long as evil thoughts exist in this world, I will always be reborn!"

Su An’an walked step by step toward the dissipating black mist, not a trace of fear in her eyes. "Evil can never triumph over good. Justice will always defeat wickedness."

She raised her hand, gathering the power of the heirs of the Five Races. The Golden Light in her palm blazed even brighter. "Even if you are reborn a thousand times, we will destroy you a thousand times!"

The last wisp of black mist was utterly consumed by the Golden Light, and time itself began to flow backward.

Withered grass and trees began to sprout and turn green again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dried-up rivers began to flow with clear water once more. The Poisonous Swamp bubbled as its blackness faded, transforming back into a sparkling stream.

Birds that had fallen from the sky suddenly spread their wings and soared back into the clouds.

Atop a watchtower on the Empire’s border, the wound on a guard’s neck was healing. His shriveled body gradually regained its color, and the black veins covering his skin receded like a tide.

His hollow eyes refocused with life. He blankly lowered the spyglass in his hands, as if his recent death had been nothing more than a nightmare.

Moreover, the tribal warriors who had been turned into puppets began to shake their heads and come to their senses.

Hong Chengtian’s figure turned to ash, and only a single curse echoed between heaven and earth: "I will be back..."

Su An’an held the golden Dragon Baby and looked at the Beast Husbands and children standing shoulder-to-shoulder by her side, a resolute smile slowly spreading across her lips.

’Evil in this world may never truly vanish, and darkness will always lurk in the corners, but justice will never surrender!’
