“That cheap, lowly human is doomed! With that many Demon Gods there, they’ll definitely rip him into shreds!
“In comparison, I’m more concerned about those people. Where exactly are they from? And why are they willing to work for Helibos?”
The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God stood proudly in the sky as they kept a close watch on the Dragon God and the others’ movements. The more attention they paid to them, the more questions arose in their minds.
Where did that many Dark Demonic Dragons come from?
Why were they willing to help the Dragon God?
What was their purpose in coming to Heaven’s Vault Continent?
“Both you and I know that Helibos has always been alone. Although he’s technically a member of the Colossal Dragon Gods, he’s not valued at all.”
The Titan Spiritual God mused aloud in a low voice, “But he’s suddenly recruited so many powerhouses this time. This doesn’t make sense at all! Could it be that Helibos has also had a similar encounter like mine whereby the Colossal Dragon Gods suddenly attached importance to him and bestowed upon him a group of subordinates?”
The Beast God let out a derisive laugh and replied, “Look at how Helibos is bending all over for them. Does he even look like their master?”
The Titan Spiritual God shook his head slightly. Given Helibos’ exceptionally respectful attitude toward that black-robed middle-aged man, the duo’s statuses were self-evident—Helibos looked more like the other man’s subordinate instead.
“Since they aren’t his subordinates, why have they descended upon Heaven’s Vault Continent? Are they just here to seek revenge on Helibos’ behalf?” asked the Titan Spiritual God.
“No way!”
The Beast God’s eyes flickered with a shrewd gleam. He said, “There’s no point in doing things that don’t benefit you. This is especially true for deities like us. Who would do things that don’t benefit them? Something fishy must be going on!”
“You mean...”
The Titan Spiritual God’s brows drew together slightly.
“I have a bold conjecture. Meng Lei must be hiding some kind of astounding secret on him, and those people are here for that secret!”
The Beast God spoke in a low and deep voice, the fury in his voice barely concealable. He had suddenly realized that he might have been duped. The Dragon God had claimed that he wanted to seek revenge on Meng Lei during the last time the Dragon God had come to him to exchange for the devil contract.
However, it was only now that the Beast God realized that it was clearly because Helibos had been coveting the huge secret on Meng Lei that he had risked his life to approach him.
Revenge?
It was nothing more than just an excuse!
“An astounding secret?”
The Titan Spiritual God’s pupils contracted sharply. He exclaimed, “Now that you mention it, I think that’s highly likely the case. Otherwise, how can a human like him possibly cultivate so quickly?”
“I get it now! I finally get it now!” The Titan Spiritual God gnashed his teeth in fury as he said, “That damned Helibos! He clearly knew that secret, yet he kept it from both of us and told those people instead!”
“It’s too late to say anything now.”
The Beast God said with a sigh, “Judging from how big a fuss those people are making, they are clearly hell-bent on getting it. What can we do even if we know that Meng Lei’s hiding a secret?”
“Damn it!”
...
100,000 feet was roughly equivalent to 300 kilometers.
A 300-kilometer-long body! One could imagine just how enormous the two Dark Demonic Dragons were.
They spanned across the sky above the imperial palace like two undulating mountain ranges suspended above the people, forming a dark mass that practically blotted out the sun.
Dark Demonic Dragon Uno asked in a deep roar, “Helibos, is he that person that Master is looking for?”
“Yes, he’s my teacher’s target!”
The Dragon God nodded slightly. Then, he gave them a kind warning and said, “But you mustn’t let down your guard. Although that renegade is certainly hateful, his strength is not to be underestimated.”
“How strong can a native deity of a low-end existential plane be? I can swallow him whole in one gulp!”
Dragon Uno let out a derisive laugh and roared, “Human deity if you know what’s good for you, come with me obediently to meet my master. Otherwise, I don’t mind ripping you into shreds!”
“You sure talk big.” Meng Lei held his hands behind his back as he said, “The grass growing at the grave of the last Dark Demonic Dragon that had dared to act so arrogantly in front of me has already grown dozens of meters tall.”
“How presumptuous!”
Dragon Uno raised its claw that measured dozens of kilometers wide and smacked it down forcefully. The claw gleamed coldly in the light as it smashed down at Meng Lei.
Compared to the mountain-sized claw, Meng Lei was as though an insignificant little ant.
“Long live the Great God Meng Lei!”
“The Great God Meng Lei is unbeatable!”
“The Great God Meng Lei is the strongest!”
“Great God Meng Lei, I’m cheering for you!”
The Imperial City’s citizens’ hearts leaped into their mouths. All of them prayed for Meng Lei amid their own unease.
“You think too highly of yourself.”
Meng Lei gave a shake of his head as he watched the gigantic claw crashing down upon him. As though an inflating balloon, his divine body started to expand, instantly reaching a height of 100,000 feet.
Then, he clenched his right hand into a fist and met the gigantic claw smacking him with it.
Crack!
As though Mars were crashing into Earth, violent shockwaves exploded into the surroundings together with a terrifying, earth-shattering boom. The dimension broke instantly.
To the Imperial City citizens’ horror, they saw a humongous black hole form above them. As though a ferocious primeval beast’s gigantic mouth, it looked like it was going to devour everything in the world.
Roar!
Dragon Uno retracted its claw right away with a muffled grunt. Its massive claw was trembling slightly—evidently, the clash just now had not felt good.
“I’ve surprisingly underestimated you!” A look of cautious reservation flashed across Dragon Uno’s eyes as they bore into Meng Lei. “Do you think you can contend against me with just that, though? Demon’s Domain!”
Buzz...
An imprisoning force suddenly spread into the surroundings, locking down the dimension around them right away. Meng Lei, who was in the center of Demon’s Domain, bore the brunt of the attack and was locked down where he was.
“Die, you worm!”
Dragon Uno let out a furious roar. It opened its cavernous, ghastly fang-filled jaws and bit at Meng Lei. Each of its fangs measured several kilometers long and was even harder and sharper than a lesser deity-level divine weapon.
Should the bite land, even a lofty mountain would undoubtedly be crushed into smithereens.
“Don’t you brush your teeth before you head outside?”
Meng Lei wrinkled his nose in distaste as he tried to wave the stench away. He said, “It’s not your fault for having bad breath, but it’s not right if you come here and disgust others with it!”
The moment he spoke, Meng Lei teleported above Dragon Uno and stomped down heavily with his foot.
Boom!
His enormous sole landed squarely on Dragon Uno’s head. Following the crisp sounds of bones breaking and tendons snapping, Dragon Uno’s head plummeted straight toward the ground like a falling meteor.
Should it really crash onto the ground, the greater half of the Imperial City would undoubtedly be implicated, and the millions of people living in the Imperial City would definitely be crushed dead.
Meng Lei evidently would never allow such a thing to happen. He teleported underneath Dragon Uno and socked it forcefully on the chin with his fist like a cannon.
Crack!
Meng Lei had used his full force. Raging great force exploded with a boom, instantly breaking Dragon Uno’s lower jaw into pieces and subsequently blasting its head apart.
Bits of flesh flew everywhere as blood spilled.
The pitiful intermediate deity-level Dragon Uno didn’t even have the time to scream before its head was blasted apart. It died on the spot and became deader than dead.
Meng Lei stored Dragon Uno’s enormous carcass into the Tower of Time with a casual beckoning wave, lest it plummeted onto the ground and caused a great disaster.
“Dragon Uno!”
Dragon Dos’ eyes widened greatly. Flames of hate burst forth from its eyes as it spat, “Damned native, how dare you kill Dragon Uno! I’m going to eat you up!”
“You’re too noisy!”
