Along with Zhou Chen’s punch, the shadow of an Eight Desolates Ice Dragon with monstrous killing intent appeared out of thin air. The aura it emitted was so ancient and cold that just as it appeared in this blood-red world, the demon lord felt a chill run down its spine.
“What is that?!” In the long life of the demon lord, it had never seen such a creature. It was like a dragon without wings, like a spirit body, and had an ancient and powerful aura.
Sensing the threat to its life, the demon lord decided to retreat. With its teleportation ability, it had always had the right to decide the location of the battlefield.
However, this time, just as it teleported away and exited from a space node, it felt a terrifying killing intent. At the same time, it saw a mountain-sized Eight Desolates Ice Dragon’s head biting at it!
“How is this possible?!”
Realizing that the terrifying creature had appeared where he had teleported to, the demon lord felt like its soul was about to leave its body. It immediately resisted the violent killing intent and the cold aura’s suppression and forced its body to activate another teleportation.
However, after this teleportation, although it did not see the terrifying mouth of the Eight Desolate Ice Dragon, it saw a tail that was comparable to a mountain had appeared in front of it and was lashing at it like a tsunami!
“Space Destruction!”
At this critical moment, the demon lord knew that it was too late to dodge, so it steeled its heart and launched an ability that could destroy space to attack this huge creature. After all, it was a top character among demons. It had the will to fight with its life on the line when push came to shove.
As spatial energy erupted from its body to block the attack. It saw the huge shadow in front of it had pierced through it like a biting cold wind, making it feel a bone-piercing coldness and a slight dizziness, but that was all.
“Just this?” The expected serious injury did not appear. The demon lord felt that it might have overestimated its opponent.
But in the next moment, a sharp sensation appeared on its back, making it feel a fatal threat.
Zhou Chen’s body was bathed in lightning as he instantly arrived at its back, and then punched out!
This punch was filled with a majestic aura. It carried a faint dragon roar and a ferocious killing intent!
The demon lord would have chosen to face the attack before, but it felt that its opponent had become much stronger and had an item that could restrain its attacks. The outcome of a head-on fight might not be good, so it immediately chose to teleport and escape.
However, this time, it realized that its body seemed to have frozen. Its movements were extremely slow.
With a loud boom, the demon lord was drowned by the lightning flashes that drowned the sky.

“This monster actually has a high silver rank and a low gold rank passive skill? No wonder its strength is extraordinary.”
Before he entered the Great Martial Dao Grandmaster realm, Zhou Chen felt that he could not fight this opponent because his attacks did not cause much damage to it. As long as it was not careless, he would not be able to hit it at all. He would only be beaten by its teleportation ability.
After advancing to the level of a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster, he gained a premonition-like ability and was able to suppress the other party. If the other party used the space law to focus on defending itself, it would not be easy for Zhou Chen to deal with it. He would probably only be able to grind it
down by relying on the killing intent that had merged with Eight Desolates True Energy to destroy its body and spirit.
However, the necklace Vera gave him was very useful. The law power on this necklace offset the spatial energy protecting the demon lord’s body, allowing his attack to hit it directly. After reaching the Great Martial Dao Grandmaster realm, Zhou Chen’s damage increased by more than ten times.
Therefore, with a full-power strike, the demon lord was reduced to ashes.
“Absorb!”
After absorbing the new passive skills, Zhou Chen flew down and arrived beside the large stone that Vera was lying on.
“You killed it?”
Vera had already used the healing potion that Zhou Chen had given her. Although her injuries were still serious, with the powerful vitality of the Dragonborn bloodline, she had already passed the crisis.
“Yes. I’ll treat you.” Seeing that Vera was a little excited, Zhou Chen raised his hand to signal her to stop moving. Then, he turned his Eight Desolates True Energy to the wood attribute to heal her.
As the warm wood attribute energy entered her body, Vera saw that her injuries were healing at a visible speed. Within a few seconds, they were almost completely healed.
“Thank you for saving my life again.” After the treatment was over, Vera jumped off the stone and thanked Zhou Chen.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
“No need to thank me. Didn’t you save me too?” Zhou Chen smiled and took the necklace from his neck before returning it to her.
“Why didn’t you leave quickly? Why would you risk your life to help me?” The battle had ended. Zhou Chen asked this question that puzzled him.
“Because you saved me from that group of demons, and we Dragonborn never abandon our companions.” Vera took the necklace from Zhou Chen and replied.
“Moreover, the demon race has a death grudge with us Dragonborn. If that demon lord discovered me, it’s impossible for it to let me leave alive. I’m not fast enough and can’t escape, so I wanted to help you escape.”
“But you suddenly became stronger and really killed it. It really surprised me.”
Vera looked at Zhou Chen with bright light in her golden eyes.
“Tt was just a coincidence that I broke through. If the same situation occurred again, it might not necessarily be as smooth as now.” Zhou Chen sighed with emotion when he thought of how he had broken through.
There was definitely the enhancement of the Pure Yang Overlord Body talent, but luck, coincidences, and other factors could not be ignored.
At that time, he only had the thought of killing the demon lord. His killing intent was extremely strong, but his combat strength was not enough, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Thereupon, he directly circulated the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art and fused his martial intent into the Eight Desolates True Energy to try and charge into the Great Martial Dao Grandmaster realm.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior would only result in a quick death. However, Zhou Chen had the necklace to protect him at that time, so he had some room for mistakes. In addition, he only wanted to increase his strength to kill the enemy, so he did not care too much.
Zhou Chen, who had expected to be stuck at the Grandmaster realm for a long time, had actually broken through it like paper.
In the battle, he had accidentally comprehended the premonition ability of a Great Martial Dao Grandmaster in advance by closing his eyes to sense everything in the surroundings, saving some energy of the necklace.
In short, the situation at that time could only be said to be very coincidental. Even if Zhou Chen time returned to that situation, it might not go so smoothly.
“The demon is dead. Let’s deal with the ones in the ground.”
After treating Vera, Zhou Chen and her walked to the entrance of the underground passage. The goal he was looking for was there.
However, it was going to be difficult for Zhou Chen to be excited for the remaining time. This was because after entering the great grandmaster realm, his combat strength had increased by more than ten times. The monsters inside could already be suppressed and killed by him before, but now, just by
releasing his aura, he could destroy their souls.
Zhou Chen and Vera walked at a moderate pace in the narrow passage. They did not encounter many monsters along the way. Occasionally, they would encounter one, but they would be in an unconscious state.
“We’re almost there.” A few minutes later, they arrived in the depths of the underground passage and felt a pressure.
This was a characteristic of Gods that was different from the aura of a demon. It meant that Zhou Chen had found Lady Misery.
Indeed, in a narrow cave that emitted a thick aura, they saw a gray-robed woman sitting on the ground beside a skeleton.
This woman had a dignified appearance. She was not very old, but she had many light wrinkles on her face. Her clothes were rather simple, making her look like she had cultivated for long.
“Are you the Lord of Benevolence?” The gray-robed woman raised her head and looked at Vera. Then, she focused her gaze on Zhou Chen, who had a terrifying aura.
“Yes, you’re Lady Misery? Your envoy said that you need help. Do you mean the space restriction here?”
The cave in front of him did not look too abnormal, but the aura was strange. However, after Zhou Chen absorbed the Low Gold rank Space Affinity passive skill from the demon lord, he could see a dense circle of invisible spatial cracks in the cave, sealing the gray-robed woman so that she did not dare to
move rashly.
“Yes, I came here to explore and was discovered by a demon lord. I used up all my divine power but could only protect myself. I’m trapped here. Please help me escape. I’l pay with an Authority.” The gray-robed woman immediately replied.
“Pardon me for being presumptuous, but you only give me the feeling that you’re a lower God. How can you have an Authority?” Zhou Chen had long understood that lower Gods did not have Authority. Lower Gods were not strong enough, and even if they were lucky enough to obtain one, it would only
attract disaster and cause their deaths.
“This Authority comes from this skeleton. He was an intermediate God and died here after being heavily injured in the God and Devil War. If you save me, I’l give you this Authority.” Lady Misery replied unhurriedly.
“Sure. I love fair deals.” Zhou Chen did not bargain. He directly extended his hand and released the Eight Desolates True Energy, shaking this narrow space.
He was moving the many spatial rifts that surrounded Lady Misery. This was not possible even if he had advanced to the great grandmaster realm, he would not have been able to do so unless he directly tore through space after reaching the Martial Dao Human Immortal realm.
However, after fusing with Space Affinity VII, he had a very strong influence on the Space Law. Although he was unable to use spatial power like the demon lord, using this affinity to move spatial cracks was still easy.
“You can move the space cracks without using divine power?”
Zhou Chen’s actions immediately surprised Lady Misery. When she had enough divine power, it was not difficult for her to control the spatial laws, although not as easily as a demon lord. However, with insufficient divine power, she could only protect herself amidst these space cracks. In the end, she had
to send a message to her believers for help.
“Alright, you can come out.” Zhou Chen did not answer Lady Misery’s question. He only said to her calmly after removing the space cracks.
As a God, Lady Misery naturally sensed that she was safe now. She slowly stood up and walked out of the narrow cave. Then, she extended her hand.
There was a profound invisible energy in her palm. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, the three of them could sense its powerful existence.
(Low Grade Extravagance Authority
Type: High Gold Law
Fuse this authority into your Godhood. You will be recognized by the worlds of Gods and be able to live here for a long time. The extravagant actions of any living creature in these worlds will provide you with divine power.]
“This Authority seems to be quite good. Are you really willing to hand it to me?” Zhou Chen asked her.
Authority was a very precious thing in this world. Every God wanted to have it, even if it might bring disaster.
Zhou Chen expected Lady Misery to go back on her words, and then kill her. Unexpectedly, she did not play any tricks and directly completed the deal.

“Extravagance is indeed an excellent Authority.” Lady Misery immediately replied,
“But it seriously conflicts with my path. If I had known that this was the Authority here, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to come here.” She sighed slightly.
‘Are misery and extravagance really conflicting? In that case, my benevolence and killing are also not a good match.’
Lady Misery’s words made Zhou Chen realize this, but he did not care much because he had only casually dabbled in the path of Gods and it was not his foundation.
“Let’s leave quickly. More high-level demons might come at any moment.” After completing the deal, Lady Misery immediately suggested. She hated this place and only wanted to leave as soon as possible..
