Tina stood on An Lin’s shoulder and grabbed onto two tiny fistfuls of An Lin’s hair with an expression of shock and horror. “Just what kind of monster is this dragon? It even managed to steal my power of holy light!

“Waah… I don’t even have my holy light anymore, what kind of fairy am I!?”

Tina broke down in tears when she considered her pitiful situation.

An Lin heaved a forlorn sigh. “Calm down, little fairy. My super awesome Lightning Manipulation Technique was also stolen, but you don’t see me complaining.”

Just as they were speaking to one another, all the miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons began to glow with holy light while exuding an extremely powerful aura from their bodies.

An Lin: “…”

“Do we still fight?” Liu Chuchu transmitted her voice to them from afar.

“Yes! They’ve stolen our spell techniques, we can’t just let them off the hook!” An Lin gritted his teeth.

Liu Chuchu: “Alright.”

The idiotic Gundams put away their light swords at the behest of An Lin and switched to using flames instead.

The Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon that had stolen An Lin’s Lightning Manipulation Technique stood at the forefront of the army of miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons with lightning crackling all over its body, as if it were the general leading the army.

Unfortunately, the tactic of vanquishing the general first to lay waste to the entire army wouldn’t work as they would just be swamped by the remaining miniature dragons. Hence, all An Lin could do was to burn them all to death!

Right at this moment, the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragon at the forefront of the dragon army suddenly opened all the crimson eyes all over its body, which had previously been closed. Its crimson eyes seemed to have become more vibrant, as if it had completed some sort of transformation.

Crack…

The lightning revolving around its body became crimson in color while the dragon itself started to exude even more fearsome destructive force.

An Lin’s pupils contracted. “Did it just evolve?”

He knew that the blue lightning the dragon had manipulated before was just the standard norm for the Lightning Manipulation Technique. However, this crimson lightning was something that drew upon the power of the dragon itself to become even more powerful.

An Lin couldn’t help but turn his eyes onto the miniature dragons behind the large dragon leading the army. All their eyes were also closed after absorbing the power of Tina’s holy light. Did that mean that if they were to reopen their eyes, they would also become more powerful?

“We don’t have much time, we have to attack them now!”

An Lin charged toward the miniature dragons first while holding the Divine Flame Bead in his hand.

The larger dragon at the forefront of the army immediately summoned a powerful bolt of crimson lightning to crash down upon An Lin!

An Lin used his Lightning Manipulation Technique through force of habit, before immediately coming to the realization that he no longer had that ability.

He hurriedly dodged to the side, but the speed of lightning was not something that could be evaded easily. His reactions were already far too late, and the crimson lightning instantly pierced through his shoulder.

A numbing sensation coupled with acute pain instantly spread throughout his entire body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

This feeling… it was so amazing!

It had been far too long since he had been struck by lightning like this, and the unfamiliar yet exhilarating pain was almost an enjoyable sensation to him.

At this moment, all the miniature Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons opened their mouths in unison as fearsome holy light began to flare around their bodies.

Boom boom boom!

All the dragons shot forth blasts of holy light toward An Lin and the others from their mouths.

Each of the holy light blasts contained power equivalent to the full-force attack of a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator. This many holy light blasts at once instantly gave everyone an overwhelming sense of asphyxiation!

An Lin immediately used his black brick as a shield while Tina hid behind him as she trembled in fear.

The barrage of holy light engulfed an area within a radius of a kilometer. The poor Gundams didn’t even have a chance to evade before they were completely swallowed up by the bombardment of holy light.

“They’re too powerful, Giant An Lin, we can’t even get close to them!” Tina stood on An Lin’s shoulder with fear on her face.

The barrage of holy light was relentless, and each and every blast knocked the black brick, along with An Lin, back a large distance.

An Lin was also a little dumbstruck by the power of the Thousand-Eyed Demonic Dragons. Their power was simply inexplicable. Would he be forced to use the Origin Energy of the Netherworld again despite having just recovered from the after-effects not too long ago?

Just as An Lin was scrambling for a plan, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the air.

“Hahahaha… you’re still just as useless as ever, An Lin. Let the mighty Hong Dou save you!”

A burly figure descended from the sky with astonishing force atop a flaming cloud.

An Lin’s mouth gaped open slightly at the sight of the rock golem.

Hong Dou’s burly, rocky body was alight with crimson flames, giving him an extremely fearsome appearance as he charged toward the largest of the dragons. “Ling Ying, I’ll leave those miniature ones to you!”

“Easy!”

A semi-transparent jellyfish flew through the air like a light breeze. She didn’t appear to be all that quick, but she had appeared over the army of miniature dragons in the blink of an eye. She spread her tentacles open to form a net of over a kilometer in radius, which instantly encompassed all the miniature dragons below.

“Divine Lightning Pool!”

White divine lightning erupted forth from her tentacles to form countless bolts of lightning that created a lethal pool of electricity, thus engulfing all the dragons below her!

“Haha, die, you little sh*t! Let Papa Hong Dou teach you a lesson!”

Hong Dou appeared before the largest of the dragons before unleashing a devastating blow down upon it.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave exploded forth, covering a radius of several hundred meters.

The dragon plummeted from the sky like a cannonball, where it left a massive crater in the ground.

“Hahaha… how do you like the taste of Papa Hong Dou’s fists? I’ll make sure you get your fill!” Hong Dou chortled with glee as he rained down flaming fist projection upon the dragon below, sending tremors running through the ground.

Right at this moment, the jellyfish suddenly wailed in anguish.

“Are you alright, Ling Ying?” Hong Dou turned to the jellyfish with an anxious expression.

He was then greeted by the sight of countless bolts of white divine lightning heading toward the jellyfish in the sky!

Rumble…

The jellyfish had been zapped senseless by her own lightning, and she instantly retreated into the air as fast as she could.

An Lin’s lips twitched slightly upon seeing this. His Lightning Manipulation Technique was probably to blame for this.

Right at this moment, the dragon that Hong Dou punched into the ground took this opportunity to instantly appear before Hong Dou as a peculiar ripple emanated from its pitch-black eyes.

“Plunder!”

Hong Dou suddenly felt as if he had lost something in that split second.

He was extremely unsettled by this feeling, but he still crashed his fist down upon the dragon before him.

The dragon seemed to have predicted his attack, and it retreated backward at blinding speed while closing all the eyes that were all over its body. It was as if the eyes were digesting something. At the same time, its entire body was enveloped by scorching crimson flames while monstrous heatwaves radiated from its body.

Hong Dou stared at the dragon in shock. This familiar energy… It was the energy he took pride in…

He looked down at his chest only to find that there was nothing there aside from barren rock…

“My… my spiritual flame is gone…”

Hong Dou’s mouth gaped open as he stared down at his own chest with blank eyes, like a rock that had lost all his hopes and dreams.

Bam!

When Hong Dou’s dragon assailant crashed its white claws down on Hong Dou’s body with extremely fearsome power, it instantly knocked Hong Dou down to the ground.

Its claws then clenched into fists as it rained countless flaming fist projections down upon Hong Dou. Flames swept through the earth while the ground trembled and quaked as Hong Dou received a taste of his own medicine…

Hong Dou lay on the ground, too disillusioned to even formulate a defense.

The power that he took pride in was gone. What was the point of even resisting? He should just accept his fate as a useless rock…
