The colossal dragons were quickly enveloped by the vast, dark mass, rendering their original colors almost indistinguishable.
Long Zhan, the Black Dragon, could see the battle unfolding below. Whether it was concern for his kin or for the white female dragon bound by his contractual power, his brows furrowed. He longed to descend, but the demons kept him entangled, preventing his escape.
"Heh heh, even the Dragon God has moments of such desperation! Haha! Don't leave, aren't you going to kill me? Come on! Haha!"
Facing the demon's rampant mockery, Long Zhan's expression shifted slightly as he looked back. He swung a massive, blood-red dragon claw, scattering half the demonic energy from the demon's body on the spot!
Caught off guard, the demon's laughter abruptly ceased. Even without seeing its face, one could sense the shock in that moment. It had never expected the man before it to possess such power…
Because… his dark energy had not recovered!!
Lost in thought for just a moment, the man in front of him instantly transformed into a colossal dragon and plunged towards the ground.
At that very instant, a brilliant golden light erupted in the distance!
An indescribable sacred power washed over them. The demons illuminated by the golden light seemed to touch scorching flames; before they could even cry out, they vanished into wisps of black smoke!
However, the dissipating black smoke quickly retreated back to the demon ranks. When they reappeared, their forms restored, they trembled in terror, their demonic energy significantly diminished.
Clearly, the golden light was effective, but not enough to annihilate the demons.
"Monks from Buddhism?"
The exhausted immortals, looking up, exclaimed in surprise!
Upon landing, the group of white-robed monks quickly parted, revealing the person behind them.
Clad in the same white robes, the young monk in the center was exceptionally delicate, appearing no older than ten. Yet, his eyes were filled with a compassion for all sentient beings, and his expression was remarkably gentle.
However, few were in a state to appreciate it. The Black Dragon landed, immediately sweeping away a large number of demons. The immense pressure of his draconic aura surged forward, creating a violent gale that carried the untamed power of the Great Dao!
"Roar!!"
In an instant, all the demons were filled with dread, utterly powerless to resist as they were torn apart by the force, their dark energy swept away with the gale!
When they regained their senses, they found themselves back amongst the demon ranks, shocked to discover that their inherent demonic energy had been reduced by more than half!
The Great Dao's Dragon Might! A power surpassing all, capable of altering even the Heavenly Dao! The true pinnacle of strength!
As the vast, dark mass of demons was pushed aside, the blood-soaked bodies of the dragons were finally revealed. The sight…
In that instant, everyone was stunned!
In less than half an hour, nearly a hundred colossal dragons had been reduced to skeletons, with only scattered scraps of flesh clinging to them. Thousands more were injured, their bodies riddled with gruesome, flesh-baring wounds. Crimson blood flowed down their colossal forms. The scene… was terrifyingly horrific!
Yet, not a single dragon let out a cry of pain, steadfast in their guardianship.
Seeing this, the Black Dragon's purple eyes instantly turned cold, his killing intent erupting with fierce intensity. His frigid aura felt tangible, suffocating and terrifying!
However, he did not immediately attack the demons in a fit of rage. Instead, he suppressed his burgeoning fury, forcing himself to regain composure. A moment later, the colossal Black Dragon fixed his gaze on the suddenly appearing Buddhist figures, his eyes chillingly devoid of warmth.
The Buddha's Son of the Buddhist sect rarely emerged. Even when the demon race threatened the safety of the entire Upper Realm, they had explicitly stated they would not intervene. But now… why had they appeared?
Noticing the young Buddha's gaze fixed on the center of the dragon formation, he frowned. Was it because of that white dragon?
The demon leader also showed a flicker of surprise, but quickly regained his arrogant demeanor, his tone laced with a newfound sinister edge.
"As expected of the Dragon God! To be able to invite a Buddha's Son to emerge! I'm almost reluctant to part with you~ How about… leaving your dragon heart as a memento for me?"
Although he felt a slight wariness towards the Buddha's Son, his demons' immortal and indestructible power remained intact. What was there to fear? The Demon God had indeed not lied! As long as that little girl was dealt with, the demon race would surely dominate the entire Upper Realm!
As he was lost in this increasingly excited thought, the delicate young Buddha raised his head slightly, his voice childish yet firm and gentle.
"The demon race's battle, inevitable defeat!"
Long Zhan had by now regained his composure. He knew full well that even if he defeated the demons, he couldn't truly kill them, rendering all his efforts futile. Hearing the Buddha's Son's words, he nodded slightly. Such certainty?
The demon leader's breathing hitched, his gaze towards the Buddha's Son filled with mockery.
"Relying on him?"
While the Dragon God Long Zhan was powerful and controlled the power of the Great Dao, he alone could not destroy the entire demon race. Moreover… the Demon God had yet to appear, hadn't he?
The Buddha's Son chuckled at the remark, a hint of ancient weariness touching his fair face. He softly shook his head.
"The Great Dao… will eventually manifest!"
These simple six words caused all the immortals to stare in shock, followed by utter confusion.
Manifest? The Great Dao manifesting? What a joke! That was the Great Dao! The most just and impartial, the most powerful yet ethereal entity in this world… or perhaps, a rule, a force. How could it possibly manifest!
At this moment, the colossal Black Dragon also showed a hint of surprise, a flicker of solemnity in his purple eyes. He then glanced towards the woman, completely enveloped by the dragons, her form entirely hidden…
He fell silent. He would absolutely not believe that the woman was a manifestation of the Great Dao. He had tested her, confirming she was unequivocally of the dragon race, and her strength was only at the late Void Breaking stage, nowhere near the threshold of Heavenly Dao power, let alone the Great Dao!
Currently, the immortals had not yet grasped who the Buddha's Son was referring to. However, hearing that the demons were destined to lose filled them with excitement!
The demon leader, after his initial shock, decisively dismissed the Buddha's Son's words with disdain.
"Manifestation of the Great Dao? Heh… brat, are you dreaming too much? And a Buddha's Son… Bah! Nonsense! All demons, heed my command! Tear into them fiercely! Devour every single one of them!"
As his voice fell, the demons, who had been filled with dread moments before, became excited. Their bloodthirsty gazes fixed intently on the colossal forms of the dragons, like wolves eyeing plump prey. They charged forward madly…
At the command, a glint of cruelty flashed in the Black Dragon's eyes. His massive form grew even larger, his colossal tail whipping through the air, sending a wave of demons flying. He then moved with incredible speed, striking out at other demons. His black scales were smooth and razor-sharp, rendering him almost impervious to the demons' attacks.
Screams echoed through the heavens from mid-air!
The vast horde of demons was not foolish. Those further away veered their course, charging downwards, their greedy gazes fixed on the immortals and dragons below. Their sharp teeth flashed in the air with a cold, brutal light.
