Ascension

The final curtain call, a racial skill that the original dragon demon clan must master.

For individuals with slightly inferior bloodlines and lower rankings, the Chaos Spiritual Patterns corresponding to their skills are barely close to the limit.

The Wrathful King, Meltu, has mastered the limit of 999999 patterns %.

Assisted by the flames of rage, and a feature that can only be activated when on the verge of death.

When it explodes, the world will be destroyed. That is the most banal way to describe it.

"Rumble, rumble—"

Huolian Mountain experienced an unprecedented earthquake.

The mountain is collapsing, like a wall corroded by wind and sand. A tiny breeze can shatter it into pieces.

The rocks that were split from the commanding heights turned into rolling stones, rushing from high to low, vowing to flatten all obstacles along the way.

The charred fragments of flesh and blood poured down like a torrent alongside it.

If you look up from the foot of the mountain.

The entire Huolian Mountain is like a dormant ancient volcano. It usually lies dormant like a turtle, but when it wakes up, it lets out an earth-shaking roar like a lion or tiger.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"The king of my clan holds the most powerful law of the Wrathful Clan!"

"Since he has cultivated to the state of supreme perfection, he is undoubtedly ranked among the top seven kings!"

“Even if it is the Arrogant King Yuwen Nai, is he really confident that he can fight one-on-one with the King of my clan and finally escape unscathed?!”

The original dragon demon, Mailefei, and the original dragon demon, Mailjun, concealed the horror in their pupils, rushed to one place, and met up one after another.

They stood side by side on the mountainside, staring at the black smoke billowing at the highest point, watching the wisp of glowing flames falling from the sky, with dragon fangs exposed and raging flames surging, charging upwards in a way that was contrary to their usual behavior.

"kill!!"

"No matter who it is, since our king has been forced to this point, I will not show any mercy unless he pays with his life!"

"It is highly likely that Wang has buried the other party, but there is also a very small chance that the other party is lucky enough to survive!"

"Demons wandering around the various locations of Fire Lotus Mountain, roar, be angry, use the most blazing flames of rage in your hearts to tear all the aliens you see into pieces!!"

"Roar!!"

"Hoohoho!!!"

At least eight original dragon demons responded after hearing this.

The farthest end is right near the border line.

When he saw the monsters gathered together and heard their noisy and unpleasant noises, he couldn't help but get furious.

"die!"

"The king of our tribe is dead, and our anger is still burning!"

"Within a hundred days, any alien creature that the dragon's eyes catch sight of will be killed without mercy, regardless of their affiliation!"

"I will use your death to commemorate the immortality and invincibility of my clan! Use your blood to prove that the Wrathful Clan cannot be offended!!!"

The original dragon demon, Melli, smashed into the herd of beasts like a cannonball. He swung his left claw to cut off the head of a beast, and kicked with his right foot to break the back of a beast.

But this was far from satisfying him, and his movements became faster and faster, and his murderous intent became stronger and stronger. In the end, he completely lost his mind and turned into a real madman.

……

"Ahem... this is so embarrassing..."

Ye Hanjun, who was buried in the stone debris, struggled to crawl out, his head bleeding and his face pale.

Even though they were dozens of miles apart, the impact of the aftermath alone actually passively activated "Yanwang Dies" five times.

At this moment, he still has his last life left. If he doesn't cherish it, and it is damaged again, his life will be in danger.

"Tadpole, are you okay?"

Gua Gua was summoned again, and seeing Ye Hanjun’s miserable appearance, he quickly released “Super Healing” to help him heal.

Forehead, chest, arms, thighs, soles of feet... the injuries on the surface of the skin healed immediately without even leaving a scar.

However, the dislocated internal organs and turbulent blood and qi inside the body are not so easy to repair.

"Since reaching the 9th level, this is the first time I've reached this extreme level..."

Ye Hanjun sighed slightly.

The sense of urgency between life and death can best make us realize the fragility of life.

So what if he is a saint? If he didn't have the power to save his life, how many people could have survived the situation just now?
"Where is the rag? Did it die together with the dragon demon?" Gua Gua asked with his head tilted.

"That's it."

Ye Hanjun thought about it carefully, and finally activated the "Finger of the Painful Demon" silently, which was not without practical significance.

Meltu was determined to die, with no chance of escape.

But his "final farewell" would be unbearable if Mo's skills were not there to offset it.

Not to mention dozens of miles, even if he escaped to a hundred miles, Ye Hanjun might still lose all his life, and would give up his last chance to struggle.

"I was too arrogant in this battle."

"It's not enough to just have Jian Lei Zi. We must become stronger so that we can calmly deal with the world's top-level Conferred God Legacy..."

Ye Hanjun murmured, and his violent breathing gradually calmed down.

As if sensing something, he suddenly turned around and looked down at the place behind him, his expression slightly changed:

"Not good, the noise is too loud, the other original dragon demons have been alarmed."

"Guagua, we are in too weak a state to be found by them."

"Leave it to Bengua!"

Guagua patted his chest and agreed.

With a plop, it turned into a centipede, wrapped around Ye Hanjun's legs, and pulled him straight into the ground.

"Big tadpole, hold your head!"

"I'm so focused on escaping that I'm sure I won't be gentle!"

Guagua muttered, and then dozens of people used their hands and feet to dig the hole.

Ye Hanjun burst into laughter, then held his head obediently and let him do whatever he wanted.

Deep down, he began to think about how to break the impasse next.

Killing the Wrathful King, Meltu, would certainly eliminate the biggest threat in the game.

But he paid a heavy price. For example, Mo fell into a state of death and needed a long and slow resurrection.

Jian Leizi and Mu Yi basically don't have the fighting power they had in their peak period.

Of course, the most troublesome ones are the "Furnace of Flesh and Blood", "Fountain of Souls" and "Hell's Substitute".

These powers have almost been exhausted to the limit. In order to reactivate them, new prey needs to be captured.

"I don't know what happened to the little sun..."

"I just took a quick glance and saw that the entire mountaintop was flattened. If they stayed higher up on the mountain, they would probably be hit by the aftermath..."

“It shouldn’t be on the top of the mountain.”

Ye Hanjun shook his head, "When we first locked onto Meltu's location, I thought he had blocked them."

"But Lie Xinxin is not there, and neither are Cong Ye, Shili, and the others."

"That's good!" Gua Gua let out a long sigh and continued digging in the huge pile of rocks.

"The size of the original dragon demon is generally close to that of a wild beast of the same rank."

"It's best for us to hide underground."

"In addition, because they are in charge of the law of rage, it is difficult for them to have a sound mind."

"With just a little provocation, the original dragon demon will turn into a mad dog..."

"They are probably searching for us all over the mountain now. As long as we don't show up, when they regain consciousness by chance, they will definitely think that we have perished together with the Wrathful King..."

While thinking about the plan, Ye Hanjun and Gua Gua were both stunned.

In the perception of each person and each melon, life fluctuations that are different from the normal state appear at the same time.

Although it was different from the impression I had of Xiao Xu, how could I mistake that familiar feeling?

"Ah! Little Lie Sheng!"

"It must be it, I can smell it!"

Gua Gua became excited and dug the hole even harder.

The fire-attributed life forms at a distance seemed to sense their presence and were struggling to move closer to them.

"That's what I told you! Since we can't find the little suns on the mountain, they must have hidden in the belly of the mountain!"

"Among their team, only Little Golden Crow is not used to a closed environment."

"Little Liesheng and Little Shili are both good at digging holes. They can dig holes faster than melon!"

Guagua shouted that he couldn't wait to cheer even before they officially met.

"Oh!"

The tunnels at both ends finally connected at the same location. A compressed fiery red fox appeared, covered in dust, but its eyes were dazzling.

"Little Liesheng! Long time no see!"

Gua Gua changed back into its original form and jumped onto the head of the fiery red fox.

Subconsciously, it wanted to roll in the fur, but after feeling around, it found that the excellent mount with lush fur in its memory did not have a single hair on its body.

"Ah?"

Gua Gua was stunned. When he looked carefully, he found that his hair was really bald, even more completely than if he had applied depilatory cream.

"Aww... Roar!" Liesheng doesn't care much about Gua Gua. The person he really cares about is always Ye Hanjun.

When they met again after more than a hundred years, its eyes widened and its face was full of attachment.

“I suffered, but I became stronger.”

Ye Hanjun touched Lie Sheng's chin and immediately felt several twisted scars, and couldn't help but sigh.

His vision was very clear in the darkness. This mutated creature born in the solar abyss had finally advanced to the minor stage of the Supreme Saint.

Although we were in the belly of the mountain, we were unable to see the enlarged main body.

However, although Lie Sheng looks embarrassed, he has a high fighting spirit flowing through his body, which gives people a concentrated and undisturbed aura, and his fighting power should not be underestimated.

"Woo..."

Lie Sheng licked Ye Hanjun's palm, then set his eyes in the direction from which it came.

Without any extra words, Ye Hanjun jumped onto its back and rushed forward on its back.

"Boom... boom... boom..."

There was a slight earthquake, and the rugged passage reached the bottom.

Several flames of different qualities, some strong and some weak, came into view.

"Son of the Sun God, you are finally back!"

Jin Tianpi and Jin Tiandan, who had also been promoted to the lesser level of saint, flapped their wings and staggered over.

Compared to the calm and fierce Liesheng, they are not so good at hiding their emotions.

One was so excited that tears were streaming down her face, and the other stiffened his neck, tears threatening to burst out at any moment:
"One hundred and sixty years, almost one hundred and sixty years!"

"We suddenly lost contact with you. If you really died, the flame of hope in our hearts would be extinguished!"

The Golden Sky Skin and the Golden Sky Egg surrounded Ye Hanjun from the left and right.

Ye Hanjun finally managed to calm them down, then crawled out from among the sparse feathers.

The flaming wood guard onion was coming towards him, with the onion on its head standing straight up, almost touching the top of the cave.

"God-killer Shura, where have you been..."

"Over the years, we have had a hard time finding it..."

Fiery Wood Shoucong stretched his neck and shouted weakly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the red onion became limp, and its entire body became limp as well. It collapsed to the ground, no longer looking presentable.

"Huh...huh..."

Flamewood Shoucong fell asleep.

It was as if it had reached the limit of its mental state and suddenly relaxed, with fatigue surging into the body like a wave.

Ye Hanjun examined it and confirmed that it was just elemental depletion and physical exhaustion, so he felt relieved.

Then, his gaze swept across the Golden Crow and the Fiery Wood Guardian Cong and fell to the two innermost corners.

In the left corner, Lie Xinxin was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The sun wheel, which should have been dazzling, emitted almost no light.

In the right corner, there is a human being facing the wall with his fists clenched. At first glance, it looks like he is thinking about his mistakes.

But he was under the protection of multiple barriers, and his body was surrounded by mysterious and unparalleled power fluctuations, exuding an extraordinary aura everywhere.

"He is 'hardworking'?" Ye Hanjun asked.

"Uh-huh."

The two little golden crows nodded like pecking at rice, and couldn't help but complain:

"After we couldn't find you, we wandered aimlessly through the barren mountains and rivers of the Desire Realm."

"At first we just wanted to find you, but when we realized it was too difficult, Sister Xin decisively took us to practice, not wanting to waste time."

"During this process, we rescued human forces and used the name of the Gray Sun God and the Gray Sun Cult to secretly develop a group of prospective followers."

"Where's Sister Xin? She believes you're fine."

"Thinking about the day when you return, directly granting these people special powers will definitely save a lot of trouble."

"Later, we accidentally encountered the original dragon demon chasing Diligent."

"Bana once said that diligence holds the "whip of lust" in the hands of diligence."

"This is the most important magic weapon in the Kingdom of Lust. It can only be mastered by Miss Ekifla. If it is obtained by Mertu, our situation will be extremely unfavorable."

"For this reason, Sister Xin led us to fight against the original dragon demon, risking her life to stop the minions from chasing us."

At this point, Jin Tianpi smiled bitterly, half in awe and half in helplessness.

“I have to say, there are two kinds of sacred beasts: one with divinity and the other without divinity.”

"Sister Xin tried her best, but she couldn't even defeat the Primordial Dragon Demon who had reached the Great Sainthood."

"The self-detonation of a minor-sage dragon demon can cause her serious injuries."

"After several encounters, we have come to understand the terrifying nature of the original dragon demon clan."

"We wanted to implement a strategy of escaping, but the original dragon demon clan mobilized the forces of their vassals to encircle and suppress us everywhere, and finally forced us into the Fire Lotus Mountain."

"The King of Rage, Meltu, even came in person. Every time I recall his oppressive feeling, Tiandan and I feel panic in our hearts. We don't even have the courage to face him head-on."

"Yes."

Jin Tiandan glanced at the unconscious Lie Xinxin and said with respect and sadness:
"Sister Xin stepped on the edge of death again and again to protect us."

"Fortunately, we have the advantage of burrowing underground and hiding. The Wrathful King searched for a long time, even though he searched the entire mountain, but he still couldn't find us in the belly of the mountain."

"But this is not a long-term solution. The reason why we were not discovered is because we did not absorb the fire element in the mountain, so the Wrathful King would not find anything unusual."

"Once we reach our limit and are forced to start absorbing, we will become ghosts that have revealed their true form. There is no escape."

"..."

Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and said nothing.

Having narrowly won the battle against Mertu, he could certainly understand the despair that this fear brought about.

And what Lie Xinxin did made him feel moved and guilty.

When his friends needed him the most... he was actually sleeping.

Even if there were force majeure factors from the outside world, the complex state of mind of having made a serious mistake still made him waver.

"Sorry for making you worry."

"Before, it was Lie Xinxin who protected you. Now, leave it to me."

Ye Hanjun touched the heads of the two Golden Crows, made a serious promise, and then asked:
"Where's Shiri? Where did she go?"

"She went looking for food."

Jin Tiandan's stomach growled uncontrollably, and he scratched his neck with his wing tip, saying embarrassedly:

"We are trapped here and cannot absorb the fire element. To be honest, we are starving."

"Shili is from the corpse tribe. It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat for years. She can find some small insects deep in the earth's core to help us recover..."

"Guagua, I'm sending you to get her back."

Ye Hanjun immediately instructed.

"Got it! I promise to complete the task!"

The little fellow saluted and ran away without stopping.

"Son of the Sun God, what happened just now was..."

Jin Tianpi was obviously still unsure of the current situation and asked tentatively.

"I killed the King of Rage, but he blew himself up before he died, and nearly dragged me down to hell."

Ye Hanjun shook his head and analyzed calmly:
"The strongest enemy has been killed. As for the remaining primordial dragon demons, we just need to be careful and they won't pose a threat to our lives."

"Let me adjust myself a little bit, and then I'll get you out of here."

"As expected... the Son of the Sun!!"

It was as if a bolt of thunder struck the soul of Jin Tianpi and Jin Tiandan. They hesitated for a long time and uttered an exclamation.

Their expressions relaxed visibly, and they no longer had the tense look they had at the beginning, as if they were about to be sacrificed at any moment.

"What a relief! Mertu was beheaded! This lunatic deserves it!"

Jin Tiandan made way for half of his body, pointed at the human in the corner with his wings, and said:
"Son of God, our original hope actually rests on diligence."

"He is only one step away from triggering the sublimation of his bloodline."

"After a few encounters, the missing parts are almost made up. Diligence may transform into a super SS-level "Diligence Scholar" at any time."

"No wonder."

Ye Hanjun was still wondering why Qinfen was trapped in the barrier in the belly of the mountain.

It turned out that he was at a critical juncture in becoming stronger. If he could possess SS-level authority, even if he was defeated by the Wrathful King, it would be possible for him to escape with Lie Xinxin and the others.

"Big tadpole, Bengua is back!"

After chatting for a while, a ray of white jade Buddha light shot into Ye Hanjun's arms, and the little fist hit him directly in the chest.

Ye Hanjun coughed, grabbed Gua Gua by the back of the neck with one hand, lifted it up and placed it on his shoulder.

After the little guy stood up in military posture obediently, Ye Hanjun raised his head and looked towards a fork in the cave.

"Huh...you're finally back."

"I'm glad you're okay. If you died, we would be in a lot of trouble."

The Corpse Dragon Queen, Shili, maintained her shrunken form, opened her mouth, and a half-dead spider rolled to the ground.

Then, she sat down on the ground, her back against the wall, and fell into a deep sleep. (End of this chapter)
