Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 247

Over eighty million—such an unimaginably terrifying number. How overwhelmingly powerful must an attack be to deal such an earth-shattering amount of damage?

The battle between Ye Tian Xie and the Dark Nether Ghost King had devolved into a completely one-sided massacre. The once-mighty Dark Nether Ghost King had no means of resisting the Holy Sword. The moment his advanced single-target forbidden curse was effortlessly dispelled by the Holy Sword had completely shattered his psychological defenses.

The 『Crimson Lotus Godslaying Strike』could be used three times a day, each casting lasting thirty seconds. Ye Tian Xie had chained all three uses consecutively on the Dark Nether Ghost King, ensuring the crimson flames of heavenly retribution burned uninterrupted on him for a full minute and a half.

Slashes, cuts, thrusts—each attack landed upon the Dark Nether Ghost King like relentless judgment. He struggled desperately, but there was no escape. Every time he gathered enough strength to attempt to flee, another devastating blow from the Holy Sword would completely disperse his power.

Blue Soul watched silently, his wolf-like eyes narrowing in astonishment. As a Core of Destiny, he knew well the strength of the Dark Nether Ghost King. If all seven Cores of Destiny united with the Hour of Destiny, their combined power would be unrivaled. However, when scattered, only the purple Core of Destiny, Tian Xin, was strong enough to face a Demon King alone—Blue Soul himself certainly was not.

Had he not witnessed this firsthand, he would never have believed that the Dark Nether Ghost King could be so thoroughly trampled. It wasn’t that the ghost king was weak—far from it. Rather, the enemy was simply too powerful, wielding a force that completely countered him.

More than two minutes passed, and Ye Tian Xie’s relentless assault had depleted over two billion of the Dark Nether Ghost King’s health. Meanwhile, the once-majestic ruins of the Illusory Beast Clan had been completely leveled. Inside the barrier, flying debris and energy light filled the air, making it nearly impossible to see what was happening within.

Despite the intensity of the battle, the barrier of the Illusory Beast Clan remained intact, preventing the energy from leaking out and sparing northern Tianri City from a cataclysmic disaster.

“Demon Severing Realm!”

Boom!

-2,600,000!

The crushing blow sent the Dark Nether Ghost King crashing into the barrier again. Ye Tian Xie gripped the Holy Sword with both hands, raising it high above his head. In an instant, all floating debris and dust vanished, forcefully pressed to the ground by an indescribable force, leaving no trace of dust in the air.

At that moment, the world fell silent. The wind ceased to flow, as if time and space themselves had been locked by an overwhelming power. Finally, the Holy Sword pointed toward the heavens, beginning to radiate a divine brilliance—its glow intensifying, expanding to fill the entire barrier space…

“Holy… Forbidden… Art—Heaven’s Judgment!!”

The Holy Forbidden Art—an apocalyptic Sacred Annihilation-tier forbidden skill capable of obliterating all!

As the power began to coalesce, Ye Tian Xie’s blood boiled with exhilaration. This overwhelming strength, this ultimate skill—belonged to him!

But in the very next instant, his body convulsed violently, his expression changing drastically.

A shadow of despair and the overwhelming presence of death crashed into the Dark Nether Ghost King’s mind. Locked onto by Heaven’s Judgment, he clearly sensed the sheer terror of the impending attack… Driven by primal fear and the fleeting moment of regained freedom, he unleashed every ounce of power he had left, desperately breaking free from the suppression. Crawling and scrambling, he reached the edge of the barrier.

Even the might of the Holy Sword War God could not shatter the barrier of the Illusory Beast Clan—how could the Dark Nether Ghost King hope to break it? However, as a yellow glow flashed in his hand, he pulled out Orange Fang and thrust it forcefully into the barrier before him.

No impact, no friction, no shattering sound—the instant Orange Fang touched the barrier, an opening over two meters wide appeared. With a guttural roar, the Dark Nether Ghost King lunged through the gap, soaring into the sky at full speed, desperate to flee.

At the same moment he escaped, the Holy Sword’s radiance vanished entirely. Ye Tian Xie’s expression froze. In the next second, the Holy Sword dissolved into nothingness, and his body shrank, slowly returning to his original form. The equipment that had adorned his transformed state automatically returned to its rightful place on his body.

【Ding… The abilities of the Sacred Mark Beast have been completely depleted. The Illusory God Transformation has been automatically deactivated.】

Ye Tian Xie: “…”

“Yiya! Master, you finally changed back… Wuwuwu, Guo Guo thought you were going to stay in that huge, scary form forever… Wuwuwu, thank goodness.” The little creature suddenly appeared, clinging to Ye Tian Xie’s neck, sobbing pitifully.

“…Good? What’s good about this!?” Staring at his reverted form, the events of the past moments felt like a dream. He suddenly snapped his head toward the Dark Nether Ghost King, who had already escaped the barrier.

The power of the Holy Sword War God had been overwhelming, utterly suppressing one of the Eight Demon Kings. But… after so thoroughly tormenting the ghost king, he had inadvertently reverted back…

After all, the Dark Nether Ghost King was still one of the Eight Demon Kings. No matter how powerful the Holy Sword War God was, eliminating him in just three minutes was impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been feared across the Lost Continent a century ago.

Ye Tian Xie’s gaze briefly locked onto the fleeing ghost king, and in that instant, his Evil Dragon’s Eye unexpectedly captured a portion of the enemy’s information.

Dark Nether Ghost King (Lv. 80 Advanced Divine Mystery-tier Boss)

HP: 1,772,350,000/2,000,000,000

One of the Eight Demon Kings, wielder of evil and dark powers. A century ago, he was sealed within the Tower of Destiny by the Hour of Destiny. He escaped three years ago, but much of his power was consumed by the Hour of Destiny. Currently in the process of rapid recovery.

Seeing the string of zeros in the ghost king’s HP bar, Ye Tian Xie was stunned for a long moment before slowly muttering, “Holy crap…”

Even at half his peak strength, the Dark Nether Ghost King had two billion HP, nearly twice that of the Holy Sword War God, who possessed Sacred Annihilation-tier strength!

Demons were fundamentally different from humans. Their bodies were far more resilient, making them extraordinarily difficult to destroy. Though the Holy Sword War God had superior combat power, his human form could never match the inherent durability of a peak-level demon.

…And the numbers told Ye Tian Xie that his three minutes of relentless assault had only reduced the Dark Nether Ghost King’s HP by just over one-tenth.

Indeed, if one of the Eight Demon Kings could be easily vanquished in three minutes, he wouldn’t deserve the title.

As soon as the ghost king escaped the barrier, the oppressive presence of the Holy Sword vanished completely. Believing it to be blocked by the barrier, the terrified ghost king fled madly, never once daring to look back…

If he had simply turned his head, the entire situation would have changed.

A hand reached down, picking up Orange Fang from the ground…

Ye Tian Xie’s transformation had been observed in full by the blue-haired man, who now gazed at him in silent contemplation. He approached the barrier, casually pressing Orange Fang into it.

The barrier opened soundlessly. The blue-haired man and Blue Soul stepped inside, standing before Ye Tian Xie.

“It’s you!” Ye Tian Xie’s eyes widened in shock. A figure permanently etched into his soul surfaced in his mind. He forcibly suppressed his emotions, telling himself—no, it couldn’t be him… impossible…

Last time, it was this man who had obtained Blood Feather for him, leading him into the Hidden Dragon Abyss, unlocking his [Rebellious Evil Dragon] class.

The blue-haired man nodded, extending his hand and placing Orange Fang before Ye Tian Xie. “This is the second Core of Destiny, Orange Fang. It rightfully belongs to you. Right now, its power is in self-seal mode and will be unable to manifest its strength for three days. This is the best time to reintegrate it into the Hour of Destiny. Otherwise, like Blood Feather, it will reject the Hour of Destiny and even attack you.”

Ye Tian Xie’s expression shifted. He took Orange Fang from the man’s hand, gripping it firmly. Looking up, he calmly asked, “Why are you helping me!?”

“I’m not helping you.” The blue-haired man shook his head, shifting his gaze elsewhere. In a cold tone, he said, “You acquired Orange Fang entirely on your own. Otherwise, neither Lan Po nor I could have retrieved it from the Dark Nether Ghost King. I didn’t even know you were here.”
