Chapter 580: 574: The Supreme Being
Although he wasn’t injured, after merely experiencing the level of a Legendary being temporarily under the possession of the Divine egg, the fact that he only had a Class V Arcane Star in the Origin Star Space still made David feel a sense of powerlessness and weakness.
Yes, that’s right, because David’s body wasn’t strong enough—Despite the Divine egg taking the initiative to possess him and remove the negative effects of the divine power through the rules of the Holy Oath, it could only release one strike.
After one strike, David would revert to his original level.
Luckily, with the Divine egg concealing his aura, Void Willard, Heaven Ghost, and Heaven Dragon, the three great powerhouses, not only failed to detect David’s actual condition, their hearts filled with even more dread and caution, and some even believed David to be one of the most powerful beings from the Empty Zone.
After all, only beings at the Divine Realm or those who have stepped into the Semi-Immortal Level could unleash a strike containing Immortal Divine Power, which meant that David was at least a being above Semi-Immortal, one of the supreme powerhouses of Umbral, other than the Guardian Dragon God.
“There are only three ultimate powerhouses in Umbral, one in the imperial lineage and two in the Sacred Race. Who exactly are you?”
Void Willard retreated hundreds of meters, looking quite aggrieved.
If it was merely a Semi-Immortal, relying on the immortal and undying nature of a Demon God, he still had the confidence to fight and emerge victorious, or at least to come and go as he pleased even if he was not a match.
However, if he also had to face both Ghost Immortals, a fight to the death would surely end with his own demise, especially since his control over the Unborn Void God’s Dragon Body was not yet perfect.
“No matter who I am, today is the day you die,” David said as a faint light flickered under the purple-golden armor of the Star Ring, and suddenly, a several hundred-meters tall figure of Lolo materialized.
Seeing the appearance of Lolo, Heaven Ghost looked somewhat puzzled.
It was clear that Ghost Emperor and Ghost Immortal were not on the same level, and what use could a Ghost Emperor Beast on the battlefield have other than to meet its end?
Even without a direct attack, the mere residual ripples from their battle with Void Willard could obliterate a Ghost Emperor-class powerhouse, which was the reason Heaven Ghost had ordered the Heaven-Demon Guard to command the army from the rear instead of joining the battlefront against the Demon God.
“How dare you insult me!”
Seeing David summon a Ghost Emperor-class Beast at its apex, Void Willard’s empty eye sockets suddenly reddened, and anger surged in his heart.
He fiercely stomped on the void with his dragon claw, and eerie Mystery Power surged to his Dragon Tail, intending to kill this beast that dared mock him, then make a swift retreat.
“Please, Lolo,” David conveyed through his will.
With his current strength, he could only withstand one strike under the possession of the Divine egg; any more could damage his foundation, violating the Holy Contract he had formed with the Divine egg. However, Lolo, whose Cultivation had been elevated to the apex of Class VII through the Martial Mushroom, was an entirely different case.
The Divine egg was confident it could defeat the Unborn Void God thoroughly without damaging Lolo, by employing the nascent form of immortal strength rather than activating divine power itself, albeit exhausting decades of diligent Cultivation; this was why they initially planned to take their opponent by surprise.
Alas, the two Deities, Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon, were disappointments. In the end, the Divine egg still had to choose between sacrificing decades or centuries of Cultivation.
“Chirp!” (Don’t worry, we’ll win!)
Lolo’s gaze was resolute.
As a Dragon Pet with Space, Dragon, and Wood Types, Lolo could faintly sense the deep and rather familiar Dragon-type power hidden within the Divine egg.
If it wasn’t mistaken, the being nurtured inside the Divine egg was definitely a Divine Dragon from ancient times, and might even possibly be the Dragon of Domination that David had mentioned!
“Little one, relax your mind and fully enjoy the great fortune I am bestowing upon you!”
As the Divine egg spoke somewhat begrudgingly, Lolo obediently closed its eyes.
Seeing this, Void Willard’s eyes revealed a trace of cruelty, his joints creaking subtly.
“Closing your eyes to await death? So be it. A True Dragon at the height of Ghost Emperor can barely count as an excellent tonic!”
“Chiou-ji!”
Feeling the power constantly surging within his body, Lolo couldn’t help but let out a pained cry. Dazzling strong lights bloomed from his body, piercing through the sky and forming an anomaly that overturned the heavens and the earth, shattering the Unborn Void God’s Empty Three Realms.
The moment Void Willard’s Dragon Tail barely touched the strong light, it was completely annihilated by the divine might contained within the light. Such a terrifying force scared Void Willard into twisting its body to flee, attempting to escape through the omnipresent Mystery Power of the void.
However, the Mystery Power of the void, which was previously as easy to control as one’s own limb, was now incredibly difficult and cumbersome to operate. Void Willard instinctively looked around.
Apart from the pillar of light in front of him, eight equally bright pillars of light had pierced through the void at an unknown time, causing many mysterious and flickering divine inscriptions to appear in the void as if the Great Path was manifesting itself. This severely restrained the Mystery Power on Void Willard’s body, causing it to continuously evaporate!
“The great task is accomplished!”
Looking at the dignified and majestic pillar of light in front of her, Rossetti Lindwood wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Carving inscriptions and burying gemstones might be a simple task, but it also depends on where it’s done.
Within the Divine Zone, Mysterious Beasts roamed wildly, killing without a moment’s rest. There were countless Ghost King-level Mysterious Beasts that one could randomly encounter on the road, sometimes even in the dozens.
Rossetti had even seen several Ghost Emperor-level Mysterious Beasts. If not for Rainbow using Instant Teleportation to escape with her in time, they might have died within the Divine Zone.
Fortunately, she still managed to successfully complete her teacher’s mission in the end.
“Do you think the teacher will succeed?” Rossetti looked toward the distant pillar of light, her eyes filled with worry.
After all, the opponent was the renowned Demon God, and she always had an ominous premonition.
Rainbow patted her shoulder in a comforting way.
“Yi!” (It’s only the Demon God’s Avatar, we’ve even sealed the Demon God himself!)
…
Seeing the void sealed and suppressed, unable to strategically retreat, Void Willard bellowed in fury, “Since you seek death, then you cannot blame this god!”
Boom!
An indefinable and sinister aura burst forth from the center of Void Willard, submerging everyone within the Divine Zone, the momentum extremely shocking.
Facing this terrifying strike, Heaven Ghost and Heaven Dragon’s hearts tightened. They could only barely protect themselves, watching helplessly as the army behind them was engulfed by this unnameable aura.
A dozen Ghost Emperor powerhouses were unwilling to die just like that, each of them swallowing elixirs to unleash their full power in a final strike. Some even stood in front of their comrades, using their bodies to self-detonate in an attempt to save more of their fellow soldiers with their lives.
But all was in vain!
The life-risking blow unleashed by Void Willard with the risk of aberration was not as simple as it seemed. The Ghost Emperors charging at the front were all pierced by bone spikes through their flesh, turning into a withered mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
At that moment, the accumulated blood energy of the hundred-thousand-strong army nearly surpassed the brilliance of the nine bright pillars piercing the Divine Zone.
“Haha, when this god ascends to the Divine Realm, it will be the time of Umbral’s transformation and your destruction!”
The dense blood energy blasted open the suppressed void. Void Willard soared into the air, with half of its broken Dragon Body disappearing into the twisted spatial passage.
Just when David Jones thought he was a move behind and that the Extreme Arcane Star and the Flawless King Body were about to slip away, the voice of the Divine Egg, carrying a hint of laughter, resounded in his heart.
“Did you not wish to know the traits of my awakening under the Holy Oath? Now is the time!”
