Chapter 468: Chapter 444 Divide and Consume_1

The Five-clawed Golden Dragon spurted blood, like torrential rain.

Pang Jian, with his dazzling sword lights, appeared and disappeared unpredictably, making it impossible for the severely injured Five-clawed Golden Dragon to locate him.

All one could see was the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s twisting body, continuously accumulating grotesque gashes.

"His Dragon Blood is a Strange Treasure too!"

The Ice Armor Eel Dragon roared, blowing out one breath storm after another.

Beneath the body of Long Zhan, clusters of bitterly cold storms emerged, catching the scattered Dragon Blood.

On its forehead, the White Fox transformed into a petite human form with long silvery-white hair.

"This Five-clawed Golden Dragon, which instilled fear in all of the Demon Race, is actually going to die in the Mysterious Fog."

The White Fox brushed aside the hair on her cheeks, revealing her exquisitely small face, and her pitch-black eyes slowly showed satisfaction, "The bloody deeds in the Dragon Cave were all by the hands of this Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Countless Demon Kings and Great Demons of the Saint Spirit Continent lived under his shadow, intimidated by his brutal behavior."

"Long Zhan!"

The White Fox raised her voice, finally daring to vent her indignation, "You too have met your day!"

Long Zhan’s dragon form, covered in blood with chunks of golden Dragon Scales either shattered or fallen off, knew that his end was near when he saw the feared Ice Armor Eel Dragon appear.

Long Zhan let out a roar, "In my death, you shall also suffer the wrath of the Dragon Cave."

"Boom! Boom boom!"

Some of the Strange Treasures he had plundered exploded beneath his belly scales, and his vividly pulsating Dragon Heart quietly ignited with golden flames.

"He’s going to destroy his Demon Heart, erase the innate Bloodline markings!" the Ice Armor Eel Dragon bellowed, no longer caring about Pang Jian’s ongoing sword strikes, and spewed out an ice storm.

The Bee King whistled softly, "I want his Dragon Soul."

A golden gleam flitted by, and the Bee King’s form darted directly into the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s mind, seeking the soul of this level-nine Golden Dragon.

"I want his Dragon Horn and Dragon Claws."

Pang Jian’s sword descended, targeting a golden Dragon Horn of Long Zhan with the Origin Demon Sword as he was engulfed by the ice storm.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a burst of golden light flared, and the Origin Demon Sword failed to pierce Long Zhan’s Dragon Horn, instead stabbing into his forehead.

"He must die first. Only when he is dead, and the Dragon Horn loses the enhancement of bloodline talents, can I smelt it with this sword," the Source Demon communicated excitedly.

"A level-nine Five-clawed Golden Dragon, your Dragon Heart absolutely must not be allowed to shatter!" the Ice Armor Eel Dragon howled.

It poured its strength into the ice storm, forcefully freezing Long Zhan’s Dragon Heart, refusing to let Long Zhan carry out his self-immolation.

Within Long Zhan’s mind, a slender golden dragon was also beset by the Bee King’s minions, with numerous Bee Insects starting to feast.

A moment later.

"Pfft!"

With another thrust of the Origin Demon Sword, one of the Dragon Horns of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon was split open, with the blade sinking deep into it.

Pang Jian clearly saw many golden specks and golden dust seep into the body of the Origin Demon Sword, seeming to fortify the sword’s durability and sharpness.

The originally jet-black crystal-like Origin Demon Sword seemed to be reforged, gradually turning into a black-gold color.

"Pang Jian."

Fan Ao’s voice suddenly sounded, and the golden spiritual platform he steered unexpectedly appeared.

Looking at the dead Five-clawed Golden Dragon and Pang Jian who had just released the Origin Demon Sword, Fan Ao’s expression was somewhat complex.

He still worried that Pang Jian couldn’t deal with Long Zhan, so instead of chasing to the end, he hurried over to see the outcome.

Long Zhan’s survival kept him uneasy.

He needed to see with his own eyes that Long Zhan was dead, to completely eliminate this threat, before he could feel at ease to attend to other matters.

An Ice Armor Eel Dragon of the ninth rank, a Marten Demon King of the ninth rank, and a golden soul shadow that had slipped into Long Zhan’s mind, these peculiar fellows were clearly aligned with Pang Jian!

Fan Ao suddenly understood why Pang Jian had such a strong confidence, certain that he could kill Long Zhan.

"Pang Jian, who are these people?" he asked.

The beings that were voraciously sharing the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon stopped in their tracks at his appearance, their expressions changing dramatically. The Ice Armor Eel Dragon’s claw, which had shrunk, was already inserted into the belly of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

He had the Dragon Heart in his hand.

The arrival of True God Fan Ao made the Ice Armor Eel Dragon think he was there to snatch the dragon’s corpse. It hissed in fear and anxiety, "This is an internal dispute within the Dragon Race, as a True God of the Human Race, you should not meddle!"

"They are my friends," Pang Jian said seriously.

Nodding, Fan Ao said, "I will take a dragon horn and bring it out of the Mysterious Fog. A horn from a ninth-level Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, I can use it to strengthen the Divine Artifact I preside over. Also... that Old Thunder Dragon can sense Long Zhan’s dragon breath and will think that it was I who killed Long Zhan within the Mysterious Fog."

"Pu Zhaotian has not yet achieved Divine Enthronement, and your Sword Tower currently cannot withstand the wrath of the Dragon Cave. Let me bear the responsibility of his death."

While speaking, Fan Ao summoned the character "one" from the name of the "Taiyi" Divine Country and cut off another golden dragon horn along with a portion of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon’s scalp.

As the dragon horn fell onto the golden spirit platform, Fan Ao, seldom known to smile, did now and said, "I’ll pretend I never saw your friends."

"Huh!"

The golden spirit platform swiftly departed.

This True God, who was under tremendous psychological pressure due to the conditions offered by the Dragon Cave, only now felt somewhat relieved.

With Long Zhan dead, the other True Gods of the Human Race could no longer place their hopes on this Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

He had eliminated a significant hidden danger for the future foundation of the Human Race.

Even if he had to immediately fight to the death against a level ten warrior from the Alien Tribes of the Fifth Realm, or even if he were killed by that irrationally furious Old Thunder Dragon, he now had no regrets.

...

Saint Spirit Continent.

A mournful dragon’s lament resonated from the depths of the Dragon Cave, echoing through the entire world.

In that wooden hut constructed of withered branches, the Mysterious Turtle clad in black with teal green pupils was moved by this lament.

"What could have happened to make that being so heartbroken? Could it be that a dragon he held in high regard has suddenly died?"

The Mysterious Turtle knew the Old Thunder Dragon.

It knew that unless an exceptionally distinguished younger member of the Dragon Race had suddenly perished, the Old Thunder Dragon wouldn’t be so heartbroken.

In the resplendent palace.

Yuan Qi, who had come from Northern Qi, was treated with courtesy by an eighth-level Ice Dragon that had taken human form. After a long and amiable discussion, the Ice Dragon was ready to escort Yuan Qi out.

Upon hearing the dragon’s lament, the color drained from the eighth-level Ice Dragon’s face, and its body trembled.

"It’s Long Zhan, Long Zhan is dead!"

"Our strongest blade has fallen outside the Saint Spirit Continent! The ancestor has sensed his death!"

"The ancestor had the six Demon Kings compete for the position of the Demon God instead of eight, all to pave the way for Long Zhan! This time, for the position of Demon God, the ancestor was scheming to elevate Long Zhan to Demon God!"

Many dragons within the Dragon Cave were wailing bitterly, grieving and indignant over Long Zhan’s demise.

There was sorrow, but also joy.

The Four Pupils Spirit Fox, the Ice Phoenix, and that ninth-ranked Elder Xiong, upon hearing the sorrowful dragon lament, confirmed the death of the most terrifying Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

They were ecstatic with joy.

"Elder Xiong, shall we commence our battle?" the ninth-level Ice Crystal Beast inquired.

"Fight," Elder Xiong declared with fighting spirit and a stern voice. "This is the only chance I have at survival, and I will show no mercy."

"Please, Elder Xiong, give it your all!"
