Chapter 278: Furious Clashes Amidst Divine Chaos

Boom—crash!

The earth trembled as mud and sand roiled!

Damp soil and gravel, soaked by rain, were violently hurled into the air like a towering curtain rising ten zhang high before crashing down in a frenzy!

“Underworld Ogre—”

“Today, I slay the dragon!”

A deep, resonant voice exploded through the heavens and earth, deafening in its impact.

A terrifying torrent of life force emerged like a blazing furnace, its searing heat distorting the very air.

A long, resounding roar!

The Ogre hit the ground and forcefully stepped forward. With fingers resembling divine spears piercing the firmament, he tore the air into five startling jets!

An overwhelming surge of power pulsed into the earth, as if intent on churning the very ground with a single stomp!

In the distance, Ao Qingqing staggered—unable even to keep low. Eyes narrowed, her fine dragon scales flared. Amid billowing dust, the Ogre rocketed like a cannonball toward the Dragon Queen!

The earth quaked as cracks spread like networks, transparent ripples expanding ceaselessly.

Across the official road, grasses and trees bent and bowed as though wind had broken their backs!

Crash!

A terrifying yet majestic dragon’s roar erupted from the sunken ruins, slicing through the sky with piercing intensity!

The sonic waves shattered, and the invisible reverberations hit—each roar dominating the wind’s murmur across tens of miles!

Raging gusts swept up torrents of muddy sand and shattered the swirling smoke into fragments!

The Ogre, with a colossal, mountain-like frame, unleashed a punishing punch. In its wake, life force twirled like entwined dragons, and a blood-red vortex swirled ominously behind him!

Exhibiting the profound might of Grandmaster-level Divine Seed Martial Arts!

Bang!

From the ruins emerged a scarred dragon claw, its scales marred, colliding fiercely with the Ogre’s murderous fist!

As fists met, shockwaves radiated vertically, shaking the very earth!

Explosions of force roared like thunder, with countless bursts of flame consuming the area as though a terrestrial dragon were rolling about.

Behind the Ogre’s mask, Li Che’s eyes shimmered with incense-like golden smoke; thunder surged within. In his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit roared in wrath, fully ignited!

In that single exchange of blows, Li Che sensed something different—a shift in the power contained within the Dragon Queen’s punch!

It was as if the energy had undergone an ultimate, transcendent metamorphosis!

That transformation, reminiscent of the moment Huang Jianjiu unveiled his Sword Nine technique, was a forsaking of life, a sacrificial, burning desire to ascend!

Rumble…

An incredibly oppressive force surged forth, as if merging with the heavens and earth!

It pressed down relentlessly, chilling the blood and making it nearly impossible for life to flow!

Boom!

Li Che’s body jolted as he landed a kick that carved a huge crater in the earth while he retreated in swift, heavy steps!

Not far off, the Dragon Queen—entirely clad in blue dragon scales—had traces of deep crimson seeping from the roots of her scales, like watercolor bleeding on fine paint.

Boiling life force bubbled noisily; the once exquisite countenance of Dragon Queen Ao Yuxin was now twisted and feral as her eyes burned bright red!

Two dragon horns on her forehead stretched over three inches, sharp as divine spears.

Her face, concealed by countless scales, radiated tumultuous energy.

Martial Saint!

At this moment, the Dragon Queen ignited her Dragon God bloodline, forcibly catapulting her half-Martial Saint cultivation into full Martial Saint status, melding with heaven and earth in perfect synchrony!

“Ogre—”

“Slayer of Dragons?”

“Come and face my might!”

The Dragon Queen’s dark hair whipped wildly as twin streaks of blood welled from her intense eyes.

Hatred for the Underworld burned in her, and her loathing for the Ogre before her was unyielding!

She was convinced that Ji Haihui had perished at the hands of the Underworld and that this Ogre had claimed his life!

And most vitally, You Liqing too had died by the Ogre’s hand.

You Liqing…

The Dragon Queen’s body slumped as her dragon spine swelled grotesquely, as if a balloon of condensing energy was bursting forth from her blood and flesh, thrashing wildly!

Razor-sharp blue dragon bones tore through her flesh, forming an armor-like covering over her body.

She had lost all human semblance, warped into a monstrous figure!

With a burst, her body twisted in midair, her waist churning and unleashing shockwaves!

Even in her forced ascension to Martial Saint level, the Dragon Queen could only feel a fleeting sense of liberation—like open seas teeming with life!

Even if it was just a transient glimpse of transcendence…

It was enough—as long as it could slay the Underworld Ogre, everything mattered!

So this was the realm of Martial Saint…

A grim smile crept over the Dragon Queen’s face. Stuck at half-Martial Saint, she had been unable to break through—her nature not strong enough.

Now, in utter desperation, she forced herself to take that step. But alas, once taken…

She was doomed—completely spent.

She might even die.

Dragon blood boiled while her elixir shattered, and primordial energy flowed as it merged with her Three-Flower Gang Qi, transforming into a fiercely domineering Martial Saint Yuan Gang!

A phantom dragon silhouette soared behind her as she howled, clad in her blue bone armor. With fiery blood churning, she leapt skyward like a divine dragon—her fingers like lethal spears aimed squarely at the Ogre!

“Martial Saint—”

Li Che’s eyes were empty of joy or sorrow—only electric glints and dense, golden smoke.

He’d never imagined the Dragon Queen would break through to Martial Saint now, nor that she’d so resolutely cast aside life and death like Huang Jianjiu when making that fateful leap.

Life and death hung by a thread—sometimes too many souls stand in the way.

What kind of obsession was this?

Was it because of You Liqing?

Perhaps so.

Martial Saint—

Li Che’s gaze blazed with battle intent, yet he felt little fear. His fists and physical strength surged to the limit.

Molten flesh, indestructible like Dragon Elephant Vajra!

Facing the Dragon Queen, who had just transcended to Martial Saint briefly, the Ogre roared mightily.

The Ogre bellowed with earth-shattering anger.

“You want to kill me? I’ve been dying to slaughter you as well!”

“For daring to force my daughter into a ghost marriage—how venomous is your heart?”

“If you don’t die, who will?”

Without hesitation, the Ogre’s form exploded as dense mists of life energy billowed like raging smoke—he paid no mind to the Dragon Queen’s Martial Saint aura.

At the moment the sonic wave blasted, the ground sank like a carpet. The Ogre stepped forward with Lingxu Baqi Steps,

Unleashing one of the pinnacle Martial Saint techniques in his arsenal!

Eight steps echoed through the void as eight phantom images of the Ogre overlapped!

A dying afterimage—after eight steps, a heavy strike burst forth with the force of 216 true divine energies, while two divine seeds roared in unison—the full might of Dragon Elephant Vajra!

In an instant, the Ogre soared tens of zhang into the air. His explosive speed and subsequent eight-step descent left even his air-burst trailing behind.

The Dragon Queen’s blue bone armor trembled violently.

“How dare Grandmaster challenge a Martial Saint?!”

“Reckless fool!”

The Dragon Queen roared as her clawed fist cleaved the air. Her heaven-and-earth connection reached its apex, drawing in every breath within a radius of several dozen zhang!

The Ogre’s shoulder whipped as his punches sliced through the mountains like blades, unleashing torrents of power like cascades from the Milky Way!

Dragon Queen versus Ogre!

They traded a crushing blow!

In the dense forest, a wild gust swept in.

A figure wearing a star-carved wooden mask stood under the shade, the sunlight dazzling, though he clearly despised its brightness.

He was the Star Killer of Lie Shen Pavilion, held in high regard. Hiring him wasn’t cheap—his cultivation had reached Martial Saint level.

Even at the dawn of Martial Saint, he was among the top fighters in Daocheng.

And he…

Was not summoned by the Dragon Queen but by Su Daoling of the Su Family—after Huang Jianjiu had tried to stop Su Daoling, only for Su Daoling to invite him again. Clearly, the Su Family’s Divine Talisman expert had a gentle temperament.

But that was Lie Shen Pavilion—where only profit mattered. As long as one could pay the price, their killers could be hired.

Of course, the higher the killer’s status and strength, the steeper the price.

For instance, these Star Killers are top experts even in Divine Capital—let alone Daocheng!

Winds howled like a tempest as surrounding trees swayed violently.

Beneath the star mask, his eyes narrowed; he had not been fazed by the clashing aura between the Dragon Queen and the Underworld Ogre in the distance.

“The Underworld’s special method to isolate sound and aura can’t hide from heaven and earth.”

The indomitable will of a Martial Saint, merging with the cosmos, rivaled even divine souls in potency.

In an instant he sensed the shifting currents in the air, charged with searing life force and divine wind.

With a swift gesture, a long blade sheathed earlier fell into his hand—its divine nature raging. Clearly, it was a top-grade divine weapon.

“Underworld Ogre—”

“The mysterious Underworld, which obliterated the true culprit behind Jingguang Prefecture and Lie Shen Pavilion, today will claim your life.”

As soon as his words ended, the ground beneath the Star Killer’s feet collapsed. A titanic force surged, ready to break free and soar heavenward.

Yet—

His body ultimately failed to ascend.

Because—

Before he knew it, a silhouette appeared above his head.

Dangling a liquor gourd etched with sword marks and bearing a sword casket, Huang Jianjiu sat cross-legged in the air above him.

“Brother, we meet again.”

Huang Jianjiu nonchalantly sealed the liquor gourd and smiled down at the Star Killer from Lie Shen Pavilion.

Under his star mask, the killer’s eyes narrowed in a grave, unsettled manner.

“Huang Jianjiu?”

In the next moment, it was as if he recalled something.

“Have you joined the Underworld?”

Huang Jianjiu laughed heartily.

“Riding the wind on my sword, I banish demons across heaven and earth. When I drink, I go wild—”

“I am the Underworld Sword Immortal. Pleased to meet you.”

With that, the sword casket opened.

Magnificent, boundless sword light shot up into the sky.

“Sir, may we have a word?”

The oppressive stench of death and decay gradually seeped out. Lush wild grass on the ground withered instantly, drained of life.

A colossal figure clad in a bamboo hat and black robe loomed, as huge as a small mountain. Within a ten-zhang radius, everything froze as if in an ice cave, the temperature plunging to freezing.

The hat lifted; the curtain fluttered in the wind, revealing, faintly, skin as dark as jet with blood-red patterns interwoven.

“Underworld—”

A hoarse, low voice emerged from the figure.

“It has finally arrived. The layout of Corpse God Sect in Jingguang Prefecture was shattered by the Underworld. The few Corpse God Envoys I managed to infiltrate into Daocheng have all been exposed and slain.”

“The Underworld and my Corpse God Sect—”

“An endless feud of legacy, until death do us part.”

He slowly stepped forward. Sensing the drifting life energy and residual force in the air, he seemed to recall the clash between the Ogre and the Dragon Queen.

Suddenly,

The half-divine corpse from the Underworld fixed its gaze on something far off.

There—a mighty golden-armored divine general stood at an angle, casually gripping a Zhangba Snake Halberd. His golden helmet masked his face, and a red cape billowed behind him.

“Martial Saint—”

At that moment, the curtain beneath the half-divine corpse of Corpse God Sect was ripped open by the wild wind, revealing a face inscribed with myriad curse marks.

“Who are you?”

“Records show there are Martial Saints in Daocheng—you can’t simply appear out of nowhere. Who are—”

“Who?!”

The high-ranking half-divine envoy of Corpse God Sect—a senior among the Five Elders—though not the overall commander in Daocheng, was still among the top echelons.

A Martial Saint he had never expected made even the inner circle of Corpse God Sect tremble.

“The Four Great Families—Qianyuan Divine Sect, Temple Guardian Division, and Imperial Watch—have many hidden trump cards. What you see on the surface isn’t the full picture.”

“No wonder they call Corpse God Sect foolish!”

A light voice emerged from the golden-armored general’s lips. In the next moment, his Zhangba Snake Halberd was raised.

A terrifying demonic python shattered the sky with a roar!

Boom—crash!

The oppressive miasma of death exploded, blooming across the earth like a stunning, sinister black lotus!

“I think… I know who you are!”

“You’re not dead?”

“You Liqing!”

Bang!

In a flash, the half-divine corpse moved!

In an instant, it transformed into a streak of pitch-black lightning, its clenched fist crashing down fiercely on the golden-armored general You Liqing!

A deformed, corpse-like divine figure roared behind him.

You Liqing’s demonic python, accompanied by the sudden thrust of the Zhangba Snake Halberd, collided violently with the half-divine corpse!

“The Underworld seeks the Dragon Queen—You Liqing, you dare aid the Underworld?”

“Have you lost your mind?!”

Amidst swirling corpse energy, the half-divine corpse’s eyes reddened and twisted as it glared at the golden-armored general and thundered,

“You Liqing…”

The Dragon Queen had come with a corpse to find him, yet You Liqing’s very soul had long vanished. Back then, he was convinced You Liqing was truly dead—with no chance of even becoming a cursed corpse.

Yet now, You Liqing stood before him alive, even having broken through to Martial Saint!

Was this the Underworld’s power?

Its ability to resurrect from the brink of death?!

Earlier, when Huang Jianjiu and You Liqing attempted to block the might of a powerhouse, numerous hidden experts along the official road were similarly obstructed.

Because the death of You Liqing had elevated Han Qizhong—now the West Camp General of the Divine Guard—to new heights. Grasping a long spear, his eyes still harbored disbelief as he looked toward Long Tai, who stood before him with folded arms.

“Long Tai?”

Han Qizhong recognized him well.

Wasn’t Long Tai supposed to be dead?

Beside Han Qizhong, North Camp General Dai Qingxiao’s face was somber. Behind them, thousands of Divine Guard soldiers looked on as if they had seen ghosts.

Dai Qingxiao’s expression grew increasingly grave as he gazed into the distance.

“It isn’t just Long Tai—”

“There’s also Blue Bird.”

The creaking of a Divine Bow rang out as its string snapped like thunder.

In that instant, nearly every Divine Guard cultivator felt the chilling sensation of death looming.

A Divine Archer—one who had reached the pinnacle of the top Three-Flower realm!

Even Dai Qingxiao’s face changed in that moment.

Long Tai hefted an alligator-headed axe, his face a picture of wild determination with his beard flailing.

“My generals,” he called,

“It’s been too long. I’ve missed you.”

Barely had Long Tai greeted them when Blue Bird’s cold, ruthless gaze flashed with murderous intent.

Her long, imposing legs appeared to strike the air,

and a terrifying roar burst forth as if a gigantic phoenix unfurled its wings, fiery flames warping the air!

Divine Seed Archery!

Bloodstained Divine Phoenix Life-and-Death Arrow!

Enough talk.

Kill!

Daocheng.

The Nine-Toothed Demon Slayer at Tianpeng Bizarre Temple.

Built on a wooden platform to block sunlight.

Top experts from all the great families and factions sat outside, their eyes frequently drifting toward the eerie, mist-shrouded Bizarre Temple.

Faintly, through the three roads of the Temple Guardian Division, three shadowy figures could be seen until they gradually faded away.

Elder Fang Han Shu lit a bundle of incense, then pulled up a chair, opened a book, and began his careful study.

Suddenly, Fang Han Shu sensed something and raised his head, his eyes narrowing as he looked beyond Daocheng.

He wasn’t alone. Zhao Fangzhou, Ding Zi, Gongshu Jingjun, and Tang Xiejia—all Martial Saint level experts—had expressions that quavered ever so slightly.

Martial Saints could sense the heaven-and-earth connection and divine souls, enhancing their awareness.

Li Che activated the Cosmic Chessboard to muffle the sound of his clash with the Dragon Queen.

Yet the duel between Huang Jianjiu, the Star Killer, You Liqing, and the half-divine corpse had no such cover—their auras were unmistakably captured even from tens of miles away.

Su Daoling, the head of the Su Family, sat back in his chair, his eyes half-closed as a hint of peculiar color danced in their depths.

Minor Cultivation Lord Yue Weizheng furrowed his brow, while Yue Linghu, at his side, nervously fidgeted.

“A duel between Martial Saint level experts?”

Old Yun from the Yun Family also narrowed his eyes, his aged gaze tinged with mystery.

Top experts from the Zhou and Zhong families remained silent.

Elder Zhao Fangzhou stood and looked at Elder Fang Han Shu.

“Don’t worry. Once we finish testing our direct disciples, that’s that.”

“Let them do as they will outside—as long as they don’t stir up trouble in Daocheng, we’ll ignore it.”

“They’re just trying to lure us out.”

Fang Han Shu resumed reading, his tone calm.

Elder Zhao Fangzhou, hearing this, said nothing further and sat back down.

Temple Guardian Division.

Commissioner Siyu Wen asked with a furrowed brow, not permitting his lesser divine agents any action.

After all…

Suppressing the Bizarre Temple was the true duty of the Temple Guardian Division’s agents. The duels of Martial Saint experts outside Daocheng were best left alone.

Yet many began to stir with anticipation.

Outside the city, as the Martial Saint battle raged…

Who could it be?

Many were already eyeing the absence of the King Ping Luan’s consort.

Was the Underworld coming to kill the Dragon Queen, or was the Dragon Queen—

destined to annihilate the Underworld?!

In that moment, a frenzy of excitement surged among the onlookers.

Crash—

Boom—

The official road was left in shambles!

Mud flew, earth cracked, and deep pits scarred the ground!

Trees once rooted in the earth were uprooted and tossed aside. Ao Qingqing’s mirror-blue eyes fixated on the devastation as her body trembled uncontrollably. Though she had fled over five li away to watch, her blood had turned to ice.

“It… blocked the way…”

Ao Qingqing murmured, swaying unsteadily.

The Ogre had actually halted the assault of the little consort who had reached Martial Saint!

A Grandmaster defying a Martial Saint… Could someone really pull that off?!

How was that possible?!

This was a Martial Saint, after all!

Even if the Dragon Queen had, at the cost of igniting her Dragon God bloodline, barely broken through to Martial Saint,

it was still a Martial Saint!

An absolute hierarchy of power!

For a Grandmaster to break free from a Martial Saint’s suppression was a feat few could manage. Who would dare challenge a Martial Saint?!

The sight shocked not only Ao Qingqing.

The Dragon Queen, clad in blue dragon bone armor, had a look of sheer astonishment in her eyes!

In the distance, a demonic giant crashed down, its legs piercing deep into the earth. Its jet-black hair whipped like a cape, and its eyes were alight with warlike fervor!

Boom!

Thunder cracked across the ground.

A vast torrent of energy erupted over the ruined road,

sending shockwaves that reversed in an instant!

Behind the Ogre, a mass of debris seemed to propel his body as it surged forward once more!

Whoosh!

It was as if the overwhelming power of the Temple Spirit flowed into the Ogre’s body. In that moment, his eyes blazed like twin miniature suns!

Through his central Mud Pellet, it seemed a divine primate pounded its chest in a furious roar!

Ascending Stance—

Drawing upon the power of the Temple Spirit!

The divine statue of Luminous True Primate imparted its power!

Boom—crash!

Li Che felt his exposed skin burst into radiant light as his body surged upward uncontrollably—like he were unleashing the mighty Fa Tian Xiang Di!

Every trace of bluish dark blood and the intricacies of his meridians were vividly revealed!

Li Che fixed his gaze on the Dragon Queen, whose murderous intent was unmistakable.

Propelled by shockwaves, he thrust forward once more!

Boom—rumble!

A vast crater erupted in the earth with an ear-splitting explosion!

Illuminated by countless brilliant lights, the ground shook like rolling waves as mud, grime, and scorched remnants of vegetation soared tens of zhang high!

Li Che activated Ascending Stance, merging with the power of Luminous True Primate!

His flesh was pushed to its extreme, fueled by the might of the Temple Spirit. It was as if a toppled mountain reassembled itself and surged upward!

His spine trembled like an enraged dragon!

Two divine seeds shone brilliantly like beacons among the heavens!

The divine seed—Myriad Transformations of Dragon Elephant!

Behind the Ogre, it was as though two blood pools exploded, their crimson mists twisting into a fearsome Dragon Elephant phantom!

In the distance,

the Dragon Queen trembled as her dragon bones roared. In a split second, her armor-like scales burst into jagged spikes!

“A Grandmaster is nothing to me—I am already a Martial Saint!”

The Dragon Queen bellowed!

Even though she had expended her Dragon God bloodline to briefly achieve Martial Saint status, could she really be bested by a Grandmaster?!

And what of the others?!

What of the Star Killer of Lie Shen Pavilion or the half-divine corpse of Corpse God Sect?!

Enough—

Li Che would have to defeat the Ogre on his own now!

With that, one after another, divine talismans burst forth from the Dragon Queen’s palms, igniting in the air and enveloping everything within a hundred zhang!

“Eight Hundred Locks of Calming the Wind!”

“Ogre—”

“Today, I, Ao Yuxin, will kill you!”

She roared fiercely.

This was Su Daoling’s ultimate trump card—to counter the Ogre’s miraculous dodging technique and ensure he wouldn’t escape!

Seeing the Ogre backed into a corner, forced to detonate a divine seed, the Dragon Queen burst into wild laughter.

“Divine Seed Explosion! You’re finished! You’re as good as dead!”

“You’re panicking, Ogre!”

“You Liqing back then—surely you felt the same despair at this moment, right?!”

Tears of blood pooled in the Dragon Queen’s eyes.

Flashes of cherished memories, fragments of her happiest times, surged before her eyes. Ji Haihui was dead—her son. Though sorrowful, she had restrained herself, for she had never truly loved Ji Mo Li.

In contrast, You Liqing was different…

He was the one who had captivated her at her purest.

She—must take revenge!

In the next instant, her body exploded as countless dragon bones sprouted, coalescing into a towering, ice-crystal-like bone dragon soaring across the sky!

Yet—

Li Che this time had no thought of escape!

After triggering a divine seed, he felt his power surge exponentially. The divine seed detonated, shattering the limits of the human body!

Li Che’s flesh, pushed to its extreme, seemed to tear past its own boundaries!

With a fierce, blade-like intent ignited by a Dao Fruit, the Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade in his left arm burst forth in terrifying ferocity!

The Ogre rocketed skyward like a colossal simian, flung high into the air in an instant.

In that moment, the Eight Treasure Xuanjin Thunder Dragon Stick came into his grasp; his vibrant life force twirled rapidly, coalescing into twin blade heads!

It was as if a Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade had truly materialized in Li Che’s hand.

Midair, shockwaves exploded like tangible oceanic surges battering in every direction!

Inside Li Che’s chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit trembled violently!

Li Che pushed himself beyond all limits!

His spine convulsed like an enraged dragon’s roar as the second divine seed detonated!

Divine Seed—The Wandering Divine Blade of Solitude!

Boom—crash!

In that instant, a dazzling blood-red divine blade burst forth, as if it had descended among towering, layered mountains!

The Dragon Queen howled midair, transforming into a true dragon as her dragon bones blazed!

Explosive shockwaves, savage primordial energy, and burning air fused with the might of her Dragon God body in one fearsome strike!

Her dragon claw descended with ferocious force!

Wham!

Two divine seeds burst open in a tremendous explosion!

Li Che felt an overwhelming power surge inside him like a landslide!

No wonder detonating divine seeds was said to be a death sentence.

The power kept surging—so formidable!

With two successive explosive bursts, Li Che’s strength skyrocketed, and in that moment he nearly reached the power level of a Martial Saint!

Blade clashes with dragon claws!

A sound like metal cleaving through iron resounded across the skies!

The Three-Pronged Twin-Edged Blade quivered.

The cracks in his blue dragon bone armor multiplied as it was sliced away—taking the dragon claw with it!

And yet—

The blade’s arc cut through the dragon claw, tracing a full moon in the air.

Within the endless torrent of true divine force, it was as if one had stepped from one realm into another,

slicing powerfully straight toward the Dragon Queen’s neck as she transformed into a true dragon!

The second strike carried the raw, terrifying force that had slain the dragon claw.

It timed every detail—the moment, the strength, the target, the speed—flawlessly!

A perfect slash, an unstoppable blow!

Nothing could block it—

It was utterly unyielding!

The Dragon Queen’s entire blue dragon armor split apart; her eyes overflowed with madness and rage!

She knew she could not fend off this strike—death was imminent!

Yet she no longer cared!

Because—

“Ogre! You won’t live! You’re done for!

Let’s die together!”

Two divine seeds detonated with fatal force, sealing the fate—just as with You Liqing. When divine seeds burst, all hope is extinguished; even divine beings can’t save you!

Unless you reach Martial Saint—where flesh grows stronger and you can harbor more divine seeds.

But the Ogre is no Martial Saint!

You Liqing is dead—and now the Ogre is destined to perish in the same manner!

Upon the Ogre’s gargantuan, fearsome dragon head, two blood-red tears rolled out.

“Brother Li Qing—”

“I, Yuxin, will avenge you!”

The Ogre stood defiant, his eyes icy and devoid of mercy.

He exploded with the fearsome power of two divine seeds, his entire body resonating in unison with the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit!

Human hearts do not share the same sorrows.

Your love and passion mean nothing to me!

There is no empathy—hence no mercy.

Wham! A full moon of blade light slashed through, rippling through the air.

The vicious dragon head tumbled down to the mortal world.
