Chapter 435 - 118: Dragon Origin

Moreover, how could the elf react like that?

How could this not make Tina feel annoyed, angry, and jealous?!

Udi patted the furry wolf ears of the Wolf Maiden overflowing with jealousy, a faint smile playing on his lips.

...After Empress Eliza emerged from the Dragon Pool, just as she was about to immediately cleanse the sticky Dragon Origin clinging to her, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The Dragon Origin transformed into strands of invisible power, merging with Empress Eliza’s skin, then quietly penetrating within, transforming her towards a Void constitution.

Almost instantaneously, over seventy percent of the Dragon Origin merged with Empress Eliza, unable to ever be separated again.

At the critical moment, Eliza instinctively reacted, her pure and powerful magic surged, scattering the remaining thirty percent of the Dragon Origin towards all sides of the Dragon Pool, and then she quickly examined her own body, her face full of panic and tension.

"What is this bizarre force?!" Eliza checked for a good while, still unable to find where that special power had gone in her body.

Confused and disoriented, Eliza dared not stay here any longer; her figure flashed and quickly disappeared from this place.

The Dragon Pool was inscribed with a spell matrix forbidding teleportation and flying; those without permission could not use teleportation spells, items, or fly. Of course, the spell matrix’s level wasn’t high, and any Legendary Caster could break it with a bit of time.

After Eliza disappeared, Leanna, in human form and invisible, revealed herself at the place where Eliza vanished.

Watching Empress Eliza’s departing figure, a strange look flickered in her eyes.

Meanwhile, inside the grand hall, the Black Dragon Lord, releasing pressure within the clam shell, was oblivious to this.

Its spiritual power was indeed strong enough to cover the vast Black Castle, observing the behavior of thousands of living creatures, but it wouldn’t do this needlessly; it was too exhausting.

"Rouyu, your clam shell seems a bit small, have you eaten too little?"

Inside the hall, floating in a small bath, a large white jade-like clam shell hovered above the pool. Udi, in Dragon-man form, held the only Mo Shao Race Clam Maiden ’Rouyu’ from the Dragon Nest, expressing slight dissatisfaction.

The clam shell was too small, making spells difficult to cast.

"Sorry, Master... I’ll eat more and let the clam shell grow bigger..." Rouyu’s face flushed, her voice timid.

"It’s good that you understand." Udi nodded slightly.

Suddenly, a hint of coldness flashed in his amber vertical Dragon Eye.

Outside, not a few hundred miles from the Black Castle, a battlefield area.

The Bone Demon Augura was fiercely battling with the Ice-winged Demon Siers, leading the vanguard troops. The two had been fighting for a while now, both heavily injured, their auras fluctuating.

Around them, Battle Tyrannosaurus Beasts, Death Hunters, and various Void Angels were slaughtering alongside millions of demon legions.

As a vanguard, this demon legion naturally didn’t consist entirely of cannon fodder; it also included several elite legions established by Cold Frost City itself, with thousands of High-Level Demons and Great Demons.

Hence, under the command of Bone Demon Augura, the Void Followers were slightly at a disadvantage.

Originally, Augura led an army of Void Followers numbering over two hundred thousand, and every member was at least at Middle Tier. Plus, the individual power of Void Followers surpassed that of ordinary demon races, making them theoretically likely to prevail against a million-level demon legion.

Unexpectedly, the opposite side’s vanguard also concealed several powerful elite demon armies, along with several Legendary Demon Subcommanders.

The Bone Demon Augura, half of its skull shattered, flew backward messily for several miles, but at this moment it was laughing crazily.

In the high sky on the opposite side, the seven-meter-tall Ice-winged Demon Siers painfully clutched its head with both hands; Augura’s terrifying mental shock had thoroughly wounded its soul.

"Die!"

The Bone Demon Augura, originally flying backward, cackled wildly, once again closing in on the Ice-winged Demon Siers, whose consciousness was in chaos, enveloping it within countless spider legs made of bone, intending to kill and devour it in the most brutal way, completely forgetting the Black Dragon Lord’s command.

What command?

Naturally, the command was to plant a Void Seed in powerful enemies, not just kill them outright.

Of course, this wasn’t an absolute order; it was merely the Black Dragon Lord’s guiding strategy for the expansion of Void Power. Generally, in fierce battles, accidentally killing some strong enemies was normal, slightly wasting some resources; but the followers could become stronger by devouring these powerful enemy corpses, so it wasn’t a complete waste.

If it were indeed the absolute order of the Black Dragon Lord, then as Void creatures utterly loyal to the Black Dragon Lord, they would resolutely execute the command even if planting a Void Seed meant their own death.

If it’s not an absolute command, then the Void creatures naturally have their own thoughts and ideas. They’re not puppets; they’re sentient beings with self-awareness.

"By eating this creature, I can advance further beyond the Fourth Tier." Bone Demon Augura thought greedily.

Just as the Fourth Tier Ice-winged Demon Siers was about to be brutally killed and devoured by Bone Demon Augura, the space slightly stilled.

Crunching sounds echoed.

Space froze.

Yes, the space genuinely froze.

The form of Bone Demon Augura and countless bone spider legs slowed by more than tenfold.

A handsome man with snow-white long hair stepped gracefully from the frozen space, gazing down at the chaos-ensnared Ice-winged Demon Siers, whose reason was just barely intact, and opened his mouth,

"Waste."

"Yes, I am a waste, Master." As a strong member of the Fourth Tier Ice-winged Demon clan, Siers dared not refute any word of the man with snow-white hair, even as his head throbbed painfully, and his spirit was deranged, his face contorted as he humbly responded.

Melos turned his gaze towards Bone Demon Augura, whose body was mainly frozen, disdain flashing in his eyes,

"Such an ugly creature, you ought to be destroyed."

With that, a snow-white hand, unlike a human’s, stretched out and gently squeezed. The enormous, over-a-hundred-meter Bone Demon Augura was compressed into a ball a few meters in diameter with invisible power.

Composed of numerous skulls and bone legs, the Bone Demon now remained a single intact skull, the rest becoming powder. Yet even in this near-death state, Bone Demon Augura felt no fear; its emerald green pupil’s soul flame flickered, as if mocking Snow Demon Melo,

"Let’s play a game sometime..."

The Bone Demon’s spiritual words were incomplete as Snow Demon crushed it to powder, utterly killing it.

"What nonsensical nonsense." Melo coldly furrowed his brow, unable to comprehend the Bone Demon Augura’s words.

But he didn’t need to understand it either; after all, they’re demons, chaos is their nature. Though it’s unusual for even a Fourth Tier Legendary Demon to be so chaotic and crazy, given their numbers, it becomes normal.

"Hmm."

Suddenly, Snow Demon Melo voiced his suspicion. He originally intended to instinctively devour the soul and power of Bone Demon Augura after killing it, but found that its soul and body power had already turned to ashes, vanished without a trace.

He tried to intercept the power, but lacked the strength.

"Divine Spirit? Or?" Snow Demon Melo speculated, his brows furrowed slightly, somewhat regretting.

With his terrifying strength at the Tier Five Peak, absorbing the power and soul of a Tier Four demon creature would have provided some enhancement.

Though not much, considering Snow Demon Melo’s ambition to advance into a High-tier Legendary Life, even a tiny power increment should be pursued when possible.

"Could it be that the power behind Black Wing Nest influencing divine spirit...." However, despite the regret, Snow Demon Melo centered attention on this anomaly.

He must remind the Lord about this issue.
