Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 254
The dim environment couldn’t hinder Ye Tian Xie’s vision. Originally, he was just probing to see if there was anything hidden or overlooked here, without much hope… But after casually scanning for a while, his gaze landed on something unusual beneath the scattered ruins.
He quickly walked over and picked it up… A pitch-black, square token. The moment it touched his hand, an extreme coldness seeped through, as if it were cut from ice. Looking closer, a large “魔” (Demon) character was imprinted on the token.
Ye Tian Xie’s expression shifted slightly as he flipped the black token over… On the back, four twisted yet still clearly recognizable characters were vertically imprinted—Dark Nether Ghost King.
Demon King Order—Dark Nether Ghost King: The Dark Nether Ghost King’s personal Demon King Token, seemingly used solely to signify his identity. However, its specific special purpose is likely known only to him.
The Dark Nether Ghost King’s Demon King Token!? Ye Tian Xie examined the token carefully for a long time before placing it into his backpack. This token was clearly something the Dark Nether Ghost King had dropped when he was struck by the Holy Sword War God after Ye Tian Xie’s Phantom God Transformation. Judging from the token’s description, its ability was definitely more than just proving the Dark Nether Ghost King’s identity.
And anything dropped by a Demon King-tier boss could never be simple.
After searching the area for quite a while, he found nothing else worth taking. Feeling slightly unsatisfied, Ye Tian Xie sat on an old stone chair and summoned Destiny’s Hour along with the orange Core of Destiny he had just obtained—Orange Fang.
This time, Ye Tian Xie didn’t summon the overly narcissistic Guo Guo. Instead, he recalled what Guo Guo had said when he first fused Blood Feather and used Orange Fang in his hand to touch the second gap from the top of Destiny’s Hour.
When fusing a Core of Destiny, whether it was Blood Feather or Orange Fang, they had to remain in their Core of Destiny state. Blood Feather’s power manifestation was extinguished by the blue-haired man, while Orange Fang’s power manifestation was unable to form due to the Dark Nether Ghost King. Because of this, Ye Tian Xie could embed them into Destiny’s Hour without any obstacles—this also meant that if he wanted to restore a Core of Destiny to Destiny’s Hour, the first step was to defeat, crush, or subdue Destiny’s Hour, forcing it to return to the Core of Destiny state.
Given how powerful the lifeforms created from a Core of Destiny were, relying on his own strength alone, he had no chance of defeating or subduing them. Blood Feather and Orange Fang had only reverted to their Core of Destiny state due to external forces. But for the remaining five Cores of Destiny, each stronger than the last, could he really be as lucky in finding and reintegrating them into Destiny’s Hour?
The moment Orange Fang touched the second gap of Destiny’s Hour, a flash of deep orange light flickered across Ye Tian Xie’s vision.
Just like the fusion process with Blood Feather, the light flashed only for an instant. As the momentary orange glow dissipated, Orange Fang had completely vanished from his hand, now perfectly embedded in the second gap of Destiny’s Hour. Looking closely, the previously beast fang-shaped gap had disappeared, replaced by a sharp, elongated tooth radiating a mesmerizing orange light.
Blood Feather granted Destiny’s Hour the power of life deprivation and sacrifice—each ability was immensely powerful and possessed an unparalleled uniqueness. Then, what about Orange Fang? What kind of mystical power would it bestow upon Destiny’s Hour?

Ye Tian Xie: “……”
Unlike Blood Feather’s Life Judgment, though similar in nature… Orange Fang’s ability specializes in Magic Judgment, and it is extremely powerful—just like Blood Feather, it possesses an unavoidable judgment capability.
Blood Feather could instantly lower the threat level of all enemies, and in certain situations, when facing otherwise unbeatable enemies, it could create miraculous effects. On the other hand, Orange Fang’s Magic Judgment ability was a nightmare for pure magic-type enemies.
A Destiny’s Seven Kills—Demonic Execution not only dealt damage but also reduced the enemy’s MP and magic attack power by 10%, immediately weakening their threat level. Meanwhile, the forced magic sealing effect of Destiny’s Devouring Magic was equivalent to completely severing a magic-based enemy’s ability to cast spells. No matter how powerful a mage originally was, once they were unable to use magic, they would become utterly powerless and vulnerable, left at the mercy of others.
At the same time, Orange Fang’s ability could also make a mage who possesses it far stronger. The most terrifying aspect of Destiny’s Devouring Magic was not the sealing effect, but rather its forced resistance absorption—and the absorption strength reached a staggering 100%.
For example:
A player with 0% total magic resistance affected by Destiny’s Devouring Magic would have their resistance drop to -100%, meaning they would receive double magic damage.
A player with 50% total magic resistance would have their resistance drop to -50%, meaning they would take three times the normal magic damage.
If a mage were to obtain this skill, the power boost they would receive was beyond imagination.
At the same time, through the abilities granted by the two Cores of Destiny, Ye Tian Xie realized that their effects all carried a『forced』property. This meant that their effects were completely irresistible. That was more terrifying than anything else.
Compared to the overwhelming power Orange Fang granted, the fact that Destiny’s Hour’s basic attributes had nearly doubled was almost secondary.
“Yiya! I felt it… I felt it! Master has become even stronger again!”
Guo Guo finally emerged, first peeking out her head before excitedly floating around in front of Ye Tian Xie. Her swaying, snow-white body dazzled his eyes.
“Oh-la-la… Master took such a short, short time to reclaim two Cores of Destiny already! As expected of Guo Guo’s master, following the guidance of the super-smart Guo Guo and doing such a great job! Master, should we immediately go find the third Core of Destiny? Should we? Should we?”
Hearing Guo Guo’s words, Ye Tian Xie was covered in black lines.
This little brat… How did all the credit end up on you!?
Moreover, he had never actively searched for the Cores of Destiny—they had always appeared before him in different ways. He had obtained Blood Feather and Orange Fang without any preparation. At the same time, he had also unintentionally learned the whereabouts of Blue Soul… the blue giant wolf beside the blue-haired man.
“…It’s getting late. Let’s leave here first and head to Tianri City then grab something to eat” Ye Tian Xie said weakly.
“Ah… Eating? Ugh… I’m hungry, I’m hungry! Let’s go eat right now, okay?”
Ye Tian Xie: “……”
“…Eh? Master, there seems to be something glowing over there! What is that?” Guo Guo suddenly shouted in surprise, pointing her delicate, white finger behind Ye Tian Xie.
“A glowing thing?” Ye Tian Xie was slightly taken aback. He looked behind the chair he was sitting on but didn’t see anything… He stood up, and only then did he notice that there was indeed something faintly emitting a very dim light—so dim that it was almost undetectable.
Due to the angle, Ye Tian Xie had completely missed it when he was searching the area earlier. However, Guo Guo, floating in the air, spotted it immediately. Ye Tian Xie walked over and found that it was a dimly glowing object buried under the rubble, with only a tiny portion exposed, emitting a weak glimmer.
Clearing away the surrounding debris, Ye Tian Xie picked it up, only to realize that it was a small black gourd with faint golden streaks. The weak glow was coming from those subtle golden markings. Normally, in the darkness, it wouldn’t reflect any light, but Guo Guo’s radiant white glow illuminated it, which was exactly why Guo Guo had spotted it so easily.
Red Sheep’s Lost Gourd:
A peculiar gourd that the Dark Nether Ghost King unknowingly picked up from somewhere.
It appears to have been lost by a sheep named Red Sheep.
After multiple assessments by the Dark Nether Ghost King, it was preliminarily determined that it could only hatch a decorative pet named ‘Golden Butt Huluwawa,’ so he discarded it as worthless.
[Yes, the name 金肛互撸娃 (Jīn Gāng Hù Lū Wá) is a humorous parody. The term 金刚 (Jīn Gāng) usually means “Diamond” or “Vajra,” while 互撸娃 (Hù Lū Wá) is a play on 葫芦娃 (Húlú Wá, Gourd Baby) from the classic Calabash Brothers (葫芦兄弟, Húlú Xiōngdì) series.
However, 肛 (Gāng) means anus, making it a crude joke. A more natural and humorous translation could be “Diamond Huluwawa” or “Indestructible Huluwawa”, but if you want to keep the joke, you could go with something like “Golden Rear Huluwawa” or “Titanium Butt Huluwawa.]
