Chapter 20

1

The black bead in my hand absorbed all the black energy, instantly eliminating the suffocating feeling. Those who were finally free from the influence of the black energy could stretch freely, but unfortunately, the zombie soldiers were still there. They continued to chatter incessantly, no matter how they were attacked, they would still stand up, and they even picked up their severed limbs and reattached them!

The black bead in my hand brought a lot of pressure to the Elder. He decided to counterattack, pointing both hands and forming glowing balls. He drew a semicircle up and down, creating a complete circular shield. Then, with complex hand gestures, patterns began to appear on the shield, and tadpole-shaped characters floated above the outer circle. Finally, he pressed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together in front of his chest, forming a circle.

"Let's see how hard your shell is!" After charging up the black bead, I threw it directly at the Elder, aiming for his big shell. I was lucky enough to hit it and block his attack.

As the black bead flew through the air, it left behind a piercing wind. It forcefully collided with the Elder's bright shield. The black bead continued to rotate rapidly, unaffected by the collision. The wind broke branches and snapped tree trunks on the hills, and the Elder's shield emitted an extremely dazzling light, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

"Crack!" There was a sudden sound of something shattering, very crisp.

Great, it broke through! That crisp sound was probably the Elder's shell breaking!

I felt a little excited. I knew it was all based on luck and had no guarantee of success.

The black bead instantly exploded, and the black energy filled the air again. The light remained blinding, and I was still tired. The feeling of exhaustion in my whole body couldn't dissipate like the black energy and light.

I fell heavily to the ground. It seemed that everything had come to an end! It was great that I was able to finish it within my time limit.

"Do you think it's over just like that?" Suddenly, a figure flashed, and a big hand grabbed my neck. With my body in tow, we moved quickly backwards, crashing through a big rock and then hitting another one. However, this impact wasn't as powerful as the previous one, only leaving cracks in the rock.

Before I could even feel the pain in my back, I was already numb! I couldn't move my body in the first place, and now with the impact that I couldn't resist with my magic, blood immediately rushed to my head, and that hand was covered in my blood.

"Qin Yang!" Li Liu shouted and immediately wanted to rush over, but she was stopped by Nofice and Elena.

"He is a god!" Elena whispered softly in her ear.

Upon hearing Elena's words, Li Liu suddenly became as clear as if she had been doused in cold water. "What do you mean?"

"No wings, but has divinity. He is an ascended god." Elena, as a member of the divine race, could discern who possessed divinity. Divinity was a symbol of identity for gods. When a descendant of a god awakened their "godly blood," they could potentially possess their own divinity. In other words, when a descendant's "awakening" was no longer based on the divinity of their ancestors, but their own unique divinity, it meant they had obtained divinity themselves. This was the ultimate version of the "godly blood awakening." The demon race had a similar concept.

"You... you're not... the Elder - Qin Zhan!" I sensed a power that clearly did not belong to a mixed-blood of the demonic race. It was the power of a pure-blooded god race.

"Elder, great! Finally, we don't have to deal with those disgusting corpses anymore." Qin Taiyuan said happily and proudly.

The zombie soldiers and the black energy gradually dissipated as they all lay down when my magic was exhausted. They no longer had anything to worry about.

"You should retreat for today! These women are not easy to deal with. With your current state, you have no chance of winning."

"But we have you, Elder!"

"Didn't you hear me ordering you to leave?" The Elder shouted loudly, his voice filled with anger.

"But..."

"If you don't leave, do you want to test their abilities?" In reality, the Elder was concerned about Elena. She had already figured out his identity. If his people offended Elena and she sent a message to the Brandt family, the consequences wouldn't be significant but it would be troublesome. Moreover, the short girl was also the daughter of the Demon King. It would be difficult to compete against both of them.

"Understood!" Qin Taiyuan left with his people, looking unhappy.

After they left, the Elder faced us alone, not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was arrogant and made a hand gesture.

Four green-clad individuals immediately abandoned their ambush positions and revealed themselves. Each of them had a crossbow. However, the two green-clad individuals who were chasing me caught up from behind, making it a total of six.

"Leave the others alone, I only want him and her!" The Elder pointed at me and Qin Yin.

"Don't even think about it!" Elena said angrily, but she hadn't figured out a way yet, the only hope was that Bai could come out.

When I was about to make the exchange with Bai, I heard this news in my ear: "Qin Yang, let me tell you another 'big' thing." The Elder emphasized the word "big" heavily, obviously trying to highlight something.

"Your foster parents are actually no longer alive!"

"Bang!" My heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it had been stabbed by a dagger.

"Say it...Say it!"

"The truth about many things should be told to you at the end of your life! For example, the souls of the deceased Qin family members are sealed in Magic tools. I was sent by The Divine Realm to infiltrate the Qin family, with the purpose of finding stronger genes from the nobles in The Human Realm's palace and annexing the territories of The Human Realm, so that the divine race can evolve faster and then merge with The Demon Realm! It's all about business. As for your foster parents, the Lin family priests hindered our actions to capture you too many times in the past ten years. It made me lose my patience! When I found out it was them who had sheltered you for ten years, I couldn't control my hand anymore!"

The Elder glanced at me, holding my hand, and said, "It was this hand. They died by my hand yesterday!"

"You demon! Let go of me! He said he killed my parents! He said it!" Wenxin didn't want to listen anymore, she didn't want to hear a single word. But she was held tightly by Qiong, if she acted rashly, she might end up like her parents. Wenxin struggled under Qiong's arm, but she didn't see Qiong silently shedding tears behind her back. They had been neighbors for eighteen years, but never expected that such a day would come. Wenxin's parents had always been very kind to Qiong and her sister, they were both very gentle people. Shouldn't good people live longer?

"Hey! Hey! Black, are you blacking out again? Aren't you very concerned about life and death? What's wrong with you today!" Bai shouted, but I didn't reply. I had too much anger today, every time I couldn't vent it. I couldn't bear it anymore, there were too many chains on my body, too many. I needed to break free!

"Hahaha!" The Elder laughed heartily and said, "Remember my name before you die. I always make them know who did it. I am...The Faceless God, Liarie Mancen."

The Elder's hand emitted an even stronger light, but it felt very strange.

"Killing requires paying with lives, right? My foster parents, my mother, and the descendants of the Demon Dragon, how many times do you need to die!" A deep voice seemed to come from my throat, and the empty sky echoed my words.

"Who?" The Elder looked at the sky, but there was no one there.

Black energy once again emanated from me, but it seemed different from the stagnant death energy on the ground. It was true gas, continuously dispersing into the sky.

I need to break free from this body!

I need to break free from this body!

I need to break free from this body!

I need to break free from this body!

I need to break free from this body!

The only, powerful, and desperate thought was to get rid of my current body! I need power! Even if I have accepted my mother's death, I don't want to accept the death of my foster parents! This god, who is even more demonic than a demon, is completely corrupted.

"Roar..." A deep roar, the sound of a dragon, resounded throughout the city, throughout The Human Realm, even beyond the Three Realms! Every corner of the Three Realms heard the dragon's cry! It was a reckless cry mixed with anger and sorrow!

The black energy repelled Liarie's light magic power, and the dark magic and elements danced wildly! My whole body floated in the air, the powerful dark magic burst out of my body, the massive dark shadow surged into the sky, when the black energy enveloped the dark shadow in the sky, it formed a huge dragon, without scales, only an ethereal dragon shape, and its eyes were crimson and enormous.

The dragon's cry in the sky continued, one after another, in a rhythmic manner.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a second dragon's voice came from all around, but it had a different tone than the previous one. Slowly, a third, fourth, fifth... more and more dragons responded to Demon Dragon's call! The Three Realms trembled, the sealed dragons, the dormant dragons, the hidden dragons, all the dragons within the Three Realms responded to the summoning of the Demon Dragon!

"Elena! What is this?" Li Liu asked, pointing to the dragon-shaped object in the sky.

"Demon Dragon Spirit, the 'Dragon Summoning Command'! Um..." Elena's dragon spirit was suffering particularly from the influence of the Demon Dragon's 'Dragon Summoning Command.'

The dragons of the Three Realms have gone into rebellion!
