Chapter 359 - 353: A Desperate Struggle
“Let’s drop the ‘friend’ part. I just didn’t want the monster to escape the relic site.”
David Jones shook his head slightly, “Without me appearing, the Black Armor Dragon wouldn’t have been able to escape your grasp, let alone me doing nothing at all.”
He figured it out – from start to finish, the schemes of the Xuan Bird God Armor had been controlling the ambitions of the Black Armor Dragon. The creature’s empty promises would never come true.
You’re too humble. Without your help of buying time, I might not have had the opportunity to use my trap hidden within the Black Armor Dragon,” said the Xuan Bird God Armor, glancing at the restless sea of blood below, stirred because of Mother Scarlet’s awakening.
Even though it managed to subdue the Black Armor Dragon at the critical moment, it had paid a great price to do so.
“Senior, we don’t need to exchange pleasantries. How is Violet Cooper doing now?” David Jones asked with a hint of concern.
The Xuan Bird God Armor’s gaze burned intensely as it looked at Cooper’s pale golden skeleton, as if it had seen the Origin Emperor himself from long ago. “Her lineage is more powerful than I imagined, and the undying power drawn from the Imperial Jade Seal is strong enough too. If she can hold on for one more day under the impact of Mother Scarlet’s awakening, she will inherit the Origin Emperor’s legacy.”
“H]r y°U Sh

Yes, it’s my oversight. The Black Armor Dragon’s furious strike not only enraged Mother Scarlet, but also pushed the Raven Circulate Circle to the brink of collapse. Now, it all depends whether Cooper can successfully sacrifice herself to God Armor to strengthen the seal.”
Lowering its head to look at the raging roar of Mother Scarlet, the Xuan Bird God Armor had an expression of resignation.
“Meow?”(- O ? )? (What would happen if she failed?)
David Jones’ Rainbow raised its head curiously, eyes carefully watching Cooper. Then we will all die together! Not just you and your trainer, but everyone outside the relic site too!” said Xuan Bird God Armor, very seriously.
“???”
Rainbow widened its eyes, its face filled with disbelief.
“Senior, there’s no need to scare her,” said David, petting Rainbow’s head and glancing at the Xuan Bird God Armor.
“I’m not joking. Once Mother Scarlet breaks the seal, not only will this place become a forbidden land, but even your families, friends, and relatives in your country will become undead monsters too.”
Visions of the great disaster Mother Scarlet had caused in the Origin Dynasty slowly appear in Xuan Bird God Armor’s eyes.
“If Mother Scarlet is so dangerous, why didn’t the Origin Emperor execute her back then, rather than leave the problem till now? Was even he unable to kill her?” David Jones looked at Xuan Bird with a complicated expression.
He never thought that by participating in a joint military exercise, he would encounter such a once-in-ten-thousand-years catastrophe. His luck couldn’t have been worse!
“That’s right, not even someone as close to a God Spirit as the Origin Emperor could kill Mother Scarlet.”
The Xuan Bird God Armor said solemnly, “As long as there is blood in this world, Mother Scarlet can only be defeated and sealed, but she will never die. This is why she is known as a Semi-Fiend.”
“The concept of death does not exist for a Demon God. If there truly were a strong one capable of killing a Semi-Fiend in this world, their power would likely exceed the level of Class IX Immortal and reach the legendary Divine Realm.”
At those words, a look of astonishment flashed across David Jones’s face.
It was still unknown whether there was a true immortal half-god of level IX within the Flowery Kingdom, let alone a god above the half-god level!
“Crisp!”
At that moment, the sound of snapping bones came from Violet Cooper’s skull, followed by spiderweb-like cracks that spread to her chest and then extended ’ to the bones of her thighs.
“Damn it, the blood sacrifice failed!” Raven Spirit’s pupils shrank, and its gaze instantly turned to the sea of blood.
“Ooooh!”
They only saw the surging waves of blood converge into a towering blood column, slamming heavily on the Circle, emitting earth-shattering roar, spraying corrosive blood that eroded the sharp claws of the Raven Armor, with the howling blood wave even submerging half of the Armor’s body.
“Damn it! How could it fail! Even Mother Scarlet’s deep consciousness has awakened!” The face of the Raven Armor grew uglier and uglier.
Its previous words were just to tease David Jones. After those ten thousand years, it should have known what abilities Mother Scarlet possessed.
However, in the blink of an eye, the situation had rapidly deteriorated.
Logically speaking, with the Black Armor Dragon, which had an apex Class VIII Emperor power, suppressing the core of the Raven Circulate Circle, even if it couldn’t put Mother Scarlet from her frenzy into a calm state, it could at least weaken her strength and perception greatly.
One must know that the ten thousand years of sealing not only brought the power of the Raven Spirit Armor close to exhaustion, but also left only a tiny fraction of Mother Scarlet’s power.
Otherwise, David and Violet, these two low-level trainers, would have turned into ghostly corpses due to Scarlet’s instinctive overflow even if they had sealed their senses.
However, under the surprised gaze of the Raven Armor, Mother Scarlet had forcibly crossed her frenzy, entering the bloodthirsty period of rapidly increasing power.
“Roar!”
With Mother Scarlet’s roar, dense red light suddenly bloomed from her countless demonic eyes.
Her flowing bones and flesh on her surface instantly formed two strong six-fingered red claws, while her lower body was formed by the endless sea of blood, generating six invisible and desperate tentacles, with huge dragon-like blood mouths attached to both sides of the tentacles.
In an instant, a daunting, paralyzing life-domination spread throughout the entire space.
“This is the power of a Demon God, capable of destroying all things since its birth!”
Feeling this unmatched formidable power, David’s eyes widened, his cheeks unable to resist trickling a drop of cold sweat, and his whole person was almost on the verge of fainting.
At this moment, the God Egg above his Arcane Star seemed to be disturbed by this world-shaking, ghostly energy, emitting a cool energy that cleared his mind.
“The situation has changed. Do you want to escape or choose to fight to the death?”
Raven Armor looked at Violet Cooper’s body, which had shattered and fallen into dust on the ground with a hint of disappointment in its eyes.
“Can I even escape?” David looked up at it, his voice somewhat heavy.
“Smart. Once Mother Scarlet breaks the seal and emerges, there will be no hope for you to survive with your current strength,” Raven praised.
“But with my meager strength, even fighting to the death would be useless!” David looked deeply into Raven’s eyes.
At those words, a streak of pitch-black light flashed through Raven’s eyes.
“That is not necessarily true.”
