The Ancient Dragon Empress was surrounded by all three of them.
At this moment, crimson rose petals suddenly began to rain down from the sky.
The earth suddenly became scorching hot, and there seemed to be billions of living beings howling with agony.
Three extremely fearsome auras were quickly approaching the scene, and An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Long Aotian’s expressions shifted drastically.
A hint of a smile appeared on Dark Night Trident’s face.
“Mei Gui Evil Dragon, Lun Yu Evil Dragon, and Huan Meng Evil Dragon have all unleashed mystic techniques that will reduce their lifespans, but the result was a good one. Apollo of the Western Dragon Forest has perished in battle, while Hades has fled…”
“Now, it’s their turn…” Dark Night Trident’s expression darkened. “How dare they force Master to pay such a heavy price? All of them must die!”
On the battlefield.
Three Return to Void Final Stage evil dragons circled the sky above, obscuring the moon and the stars with their massive bodies.
“Empress, we have come to lend our strength to you!”
The crimson rose Mei Gui Evil Dragon, the inky-black Lun Yu Evil Dragon, and the dream-like Huan Meng Evil Dragon surrounded An Lin and the others.
An Lin and the others had the Ancient Dragon Empress surrounded a moment ago, but they were now being surrounded themselves!
“An Lin, this situation looks a little bad for us…” Xu Xiaolan spoke.
“Not just a little bad, but very bad!” An Lin spoke with a grave expression.
Long Aotian launched an almighty fist to knock the Ancient Dragon Empress back over a kilometer, but he didn’t continue to give chase. Instead, he turned toward An Lin and Xu Xiaolan as if asking for their opinion on whether they should continue battling or fall back in retreat.
The three of them didn’t need to say anything as they saw the identical answer in each other’s eyes.
They immediately fled into the distance!
The three of them up against the debilitated Ancient Dragon Empress was a favorable equation, but with the inclusion of the three Return to Void Final Stage enemies, the game had just transformed from normal level difficulty to infernal level difficulty!
The Ancient Dragon Empress descended lightly onto the ground before issuing a command in a cold voice, “Don’t let them get away. They must not be allowed to live.”
Her words were the highest decree among the evil dragons.
The three evil dragons’ auras immediately erupted forth as they attacked An Lin and the others.
“We still have other Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures that aren’t here. In order to maintain enough distance for them to escape if required, those evil dragons wouldn’t dare to chase us too far. We just need to try and get away as quickly as possible,” Long Aotian roared.
Just as he was speaking, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the ground below.
“Let heaven and earth become an infernal hell.” Lun Yu Evil Dragon’s eyes lit up with red light.
A destructive power suddenly exploded from the ground below, with a radius of over five kilometers, as scorching pillars of light that were capable of instantly melting metal surged toward An Lin and the others!
“Pulsating Sky Divine Seal!” Long Aotian clapped his hands together.
A shockwave that pulsated as it expanded instantly took shape.
This peculiar power enshrouded Long Aotian, An Lin, and Xu Xiaolan, as if they now had a white, pulsating barrier around them.
The scorching pillar of light crashed into the pulsating white barrier, and its temperature began to drop before it was completely dispelled.
“Roses…” a light voice that was filled with love sounded.
A rain of rose petals fell from the sky again, and each and every red petal was imbued with an extremely dense power of the divine dao. However, they weren’t threatening in any way, as if they were just harmless flower petals dancing in the wind.
“Why do you have sharp thorns?” The voice that was full of love was tinged with a hint of sulkiness.
All of a sudden, the light of the divine dao erupted from the red flower petals, upon which they transformed into thorns that emitted extremely fearsome energy fluctuations that pierced through space before hurtling toward An Lin and the others.
These were thorns that had manifested from flower petals, but they were astonishingly sharp. Not even Long Aotian’s power of pulsation could get rid of too many of them as they pierced through Long Aotian’s Pulsating Sky Divine Seal!
“Don’t panic! The power of the spikes has already been reduced significantly by my defenses, so we can continue onward and use our bodies to take the rest of them head-on!” Long Aotian roared as he led the way.
He then became a hedgehog.
Xu Xiaolan’s situation was a little better. She had unleashed her Holy Flame to melt most of the thorns, but an extremely small amount of thorns still managed to slice open her snowy-white skin.
“Senior Long Aotian was right!” An Lin agreed with an excited expression. With his body of the War God, he really was able to completely disregard the thorns.
Hedgehog Long Aotian: “…”
Mei Gui Evil Dragon’s attacks were still unable to impede them.
However, that was not the end. An ethereal, dreamy voice began to sing.
An Lin and the others suddenly felt as if their world had become extremely twisted, as if they had stumbled into an abstract painting where there was no substance, nor any sense of space.
Thus, they lost all sense of direction.
They couldn’t even figure out which way was forward and which way was back.
One twisted little dragon appeared after another. They were either wearing elated smiles on their faces or some other types of bizarre expressions as they slowly flew toward them.
A crisp, tender voice sounded.
“Come play with me, hehehe…
“Have you seen my little bear?”
The voice had only just fallen when a gargantuan black bear paw suddenly descended from the sky. It was extremely massive, encompassing the entire heaven and earth, as if it were a divine mountain crashing down upon the three of them.
An Lin activated his Fire God Mode and unleashed his Fire God Fist, only to be bashed into the ground by the bear paw, as if his fist had just struck an immovable divine mountain.
Not only him, but even Long Aotian and Xu Xiaolan were also knocked back by the bear paw.
Thus, the three of them were crushed under the gargantuan bear paw.
“My power of dragons is very yummy, do you want to eat me?”
A little dragon with rotten flesh all over its body spoke with a smile, and its voice was like a wraith constantly blowing into the listener’s ear.
A wide grin appeared on the little dragon’s face, and it suddenly opened a disproportionately massive mouth to chomp down upon An Lin and the others.
“This is Huan Meng Evil Dragon’s illusionary dream domain, where it can make creatures and objects of its imagination become reality. These creatures and this entire bizarre space were all constructed by its power of the divine dao.
“Which one of you has a powerful consciousness? Hurry up and unleash it so that we can fight back!” Long Aotian yelled for help.
He was only into melee battles, and his consciousness wasn’t all that powerful, so he was powerless against Huan Meng Evil Dragon. This was why he was calling for help from a rookie Return to Void Stage mighty figure and a Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
The little dragon’s cavernous mouth was closing in on them when a black scimitar suddenly appeared. It was imbued with the Dark Phoenix’s power to annihilate everything, and it instantly sliced the little dragon in half!
Not only that, but the scimitar also managed to slice apart the huge bear paw crushing down on the three of them!
An Lin stood up with a smile and spread open his hand as the black scimitar flew obediently toward him before settling in his palm while unleashing vast spiritual power that threatened to shatter this entire space.
“You should have said that earlier! If you had told me I could use my consciousness to break this technique, it would’ve saved us a lot of trouble. After all, I’m omnipotent and bad*ss in all aspects…”
He looked at the bizarre world around him and raised his black scimitar high in the air before unleashing an inky-saber projection to slice apart the heavens.
“Break open heaven and earth!”
The inky-black saber projection roared as it pulverized the entire world around them!
The bizarre world was shattered by An Lin’s saber strike.
They returned to their original world.
However, before they even had a chance to celebrate, they were greeted by the sight of a woman with bloody tears flowing down her face.
The Ancient Dragon Empress smiled as she shed bloody tears. “Pain of Slaughter.”
A red divine dao light instantly engulfed An Lin and the others!
