Chapter 579: 573: The Divine Egg Takes Action
“Who are you?”
Sensing the intense threat emanating from David Jones’s body and the vague presence of a mortal enemy, Void Willard’s expression darkened, and a sinister light flared in his eyes.
He had preemptively dealt with all the well-known powerhouses inside Rillfort Mansion; he did not recall having such a troublesome individual as David Jones within the household.
“Could this fellow be an ace hidden by the Umbral Royal Family?”
The notion of apprehension flashed through Void Willard’s mind, while he felt the power within him surging unceasingly, his face revealing a touch of confidence.
Times had changed; he was no longer the subservient weakling who once served the Blood Sanctum Clan like a dog.
Now that he had taken over the False God Spirit Body and become an undying Demon God, he was among the strongest in the world.
Unless Joan Lindwood led the Umbral powerhouses in full force, Void Willard feared no encirclement by any Ghost Immortal.
Not only Void Willard was surprised, but the sudden emergence of the mysterious figure also caught the Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon off guard, prompting the two Deities to exchange a glance involuntarily.
They recognized the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor worn by David Jones, yet they could not identify his true identity.
But since this Deity had managed to elude their perception and that of Void Willard’s until he chose to reveal himself, this indicated that his strength was at least no less than theirs, perhaps even greater; the only question was whether the newcomer was a friend or a foe.
“To overthrow the Blood Sanctum Clan from a lower position shows you are indeed a heroic figure, Lord Void. I wonder if you might help me with a matter,” said David Jones in a soft voice.
At this moment, David Jones wore a phoenix wing hollow mask, concealing his refined and elegant face, donned in the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor that exuded a domineering and mighty aura. Combined with the active cooperation of the divine egg’s Immortal Power, he momentarily gave everyone present the impression of being unfathomably profound and possessing transcendental strength.
But who could understand the bitterness in David Jones’s heart?
Plans can never keep up with changes.
David Jones had intended to sit back and watch as others fought, reaping the benefits in the end. However, reality did not proceed as smoothly as planned, and unexpected developments still arose.
According to the divine egg, if they continued to watch idly, Void Willard’s rampaging flame might have the potential to completely engulf and annihilate both major Deities, costing them an even greater price.
With no other choice, David Jones had to make a move ahead of time with the assistance of the divine egg.
“Help?”
Void Willard was momentarily startled, then responded with a smile, “Certainly, but first, I have to deal with these invaders before I can discuss this matter with you.”
His instinct told him that David Jones was a formidable opponent; it was not wise to initiate a battle immediately, better to delay with words.
Once he engulfed both the Heaven Ghost, Heaven Dragon, and their hundred thousand soldiers, his strength would greatly increase, and then he could turn the tables at will.
Upon hearing this, Heaven Ghost’s expression shifted, and a thought of retreat arose in his heart.
Together with Heaven Dragon, and with the support of the hundred thousand soldiers’ vitality, they could barely manage to subdue Void Willard. But if this mysterious Deity intervened, no matter the outcome, his Heaven-Demon Guard and the hundred thousand soldiers would be almost entirely wiped out, significantly diminishing the Royal Family’s prestige.
Noticing the slight wariness in Heaven Ghost, David Jones paid it no mind and said firmly, “Lord Void, your willingness to agree so readily makes it difficult for me to believe in your sincerity.”
“Power, wealth, the pursuit of becoming a God, creating ancestors, everyone seeks these things. Even if you wish to become a God, to live forever, I also have ways to help.”
Void Willard raised his dragon claw, and the rampaging void Mystery Power surged and roiled between His five sturdy bone claws, emitting a terrifying aura that did not belong to this world, an aura before which even Ghost Emperor warriors would tremble and submit, resembling the Gods high above.
In the face of this power, he believed that David Jones would choose to temporarily retreat.
“To become a God and live forever in immortality, forget it, I just want your life! Let’s see if the Demon God really possesses the ageless might.”
As soon as David Jones made this statement, it incited great fury in Void Willard.
A pair of defeated dragon claws covered the heavens and the earth, with neatly arranged skeletons of strong warriors covering the mountainous bone claws; they devoured all the surrounding Energy, creating a world of their own, intent on capturing and refining everyone within the Empty Zone, to suppress for eternity.
If it were not for the protection of the Empty Zone, such a terrifying anomaly could even alarm the imperial capital far away in Rillfort Mansion.
“It’s your turn to make a move, I’m no match for Void Willard alone!”
Gazing upon the bone claws that turned everything to ash, David Jones sighed deeply in his heart.
“Open your mind, I’ll help you break the demon domain!”
As the voice of the God Spirit egg fell, a supreme Immortal Power burst forth within David Jones; the dazzling Divine Power flowed throughout his body like a river of stars, causing his aura to soar crazily, reaching the legendary level.
“Interesting!”
Void Willard laughed heartily, his bone claws immediately closed in, and the space where David Jones and Heaven Dragon and others were located suddenly solidified. Countless skeletons fell from his claws, attempting to restrain David Jones’s movements with their numbers.
At the same time, the violently shaking force of the void exploded.
Streams of black wind began to sweep across heaven and earth, and any soldiers touched by this black wind turned to dust and bone, transforming into a vague mist of blood absorbed by the void vortex, thereby amplifying the power of the bone claws.
Upon seeing the heavy casualties among his troops, Heaven Ghost stepped on the void and rapidly approached Void Willard. The Dragon Blood Sword in his hand did not emanate any dazzling brilliance, appearing like an ordinary strike anyone could deliver, but it gave Void Willard a sense of fatal danger, causing its descending dragon claw to pause momentarily.
Seizing the opportunity, Heaven Dragon let out a long howl, the intense flames illuminating the region, and one after another, scorching suns exploded around Void Willard’s body, like the end of the sun, the end of the world.
“Bang!” Sword and claw collided.
Although the rampaging flames smashed part of the bone claws’ might, the terrifying power still shook the heavens and the earth, causing Heaven Ghost’s arm to tremble violently, spitting out blood from his mouth, and his body retreating backwards whistling like a fired shell.
But as a price, Void Willard’s right arm was also severed by the sword light, revealing a cold and devastated skeleton.
Gazing at the bone dragon in front of him, whose form obscured the sky, David Jones crossed his hands, with his thumbs pointing down and the other four fingers pointing upwards, forming a shape.
“Chaos Judgment!”
A force of extraordinary density, capable of annihilating void Mystery Power, burst from the gaps between David Jones’s crossed fingers, instantly crushing the right half of Void Willard’s body with irresistible force. It connected a vast array of mystical inscriptions that integrated with the void, while a portion of the inscriptions merged into Void Willard’s body, preventing the active repair of its demon domain.
“This is Immortal Divine Power!!!”
Perceiving the source of the force that eroded the seal within, utterly unstoppable, Void Willard paused for a moment, then cried out in shock.
“Divine Power???”
Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon exchanged a glance, their expressions grave.
Even as they fought together against a common enemy, the instinct of the strong made them subconsciously keep their distance from David Jones, lest they fall victim to a sneak attack that could instantly kill them from this mysterious powerhouse.
