“I’ve helped you kill the emperor and given you the opportunity to become emperor, thereby giving you another chance at life! But look at you! Never mind the fact that you didn’t even thank me, your great benefactor, but you actually even want to kill me.
“You can’t get any crueler and more unscrupulous than that. You can be said to be the most ungrateful person... No, the most ungrateful dragon in the world!”
Meng Lei was completely lashing out now. “Since you’re so heartless and ungrateful, then don’t blame me for lashing out at you!”
“You’re Meng Lei!”
The beautiful empress kneeling on the ground suddenly glared at Meng Lei furiously, alarm and anger coming over her at the same time.
“Meng Lei! You’re Meng Lei?!”
Briggs’ countenance changed at once. “You’re that Meng Lei who murdered the empire’s emperor, slaughtered all the court officials, and killed more than 1,000 Saint Domains?”
“You damned beast, how dare you utter your great benefactor’s name directly!? You’re a perverse one, indeed!”
Meng Lei held his hands behind his back as he declared, “Today, I shall rid the world of an evil and slay a wicked dragon like you!”
“Haven’t you been killed by Father? Why are you here?!” Briggs had a horrified look in his eyes.
“Father? Surely you can’t be talking about that old bastard Goblen?” Meng Lei said dispassionately, “If it’s him that you’re talking about, then sorry, but I’ve already killed him.”
“What?”
Briggs’ countenance changed drastically at once. The 500 Saint Domains also looked at Meng Lei with looks of alarm and horror on their faces.
One must know that Grandmaster Goblen was a half-deity! On top of that, he was even an old-time half-deity with the mightiest power and most venerated status among the Golden Colossal Dragons. Just how strong and powerful was he?
Yet... He had been killed?
Everyone felt a chill that reached deep into their bones!
“You ungrateful damned beast that repays kindness with enmity, you’d better go to hell and keep your father company!”
Meng Lei let out an icy snort. Then, his palm smacked toward Briggs.
Howl!
With a flash, Briggs instantly dodged Meng Lei’s attack. Then, he transformed into a 3,000-feet-long Golden Colossal Dragon.
“Run! I must escape from here immediately!”
Briggs flapped his wings and immediately made a run for it. He didn’t harbor any thoughts of avenging his father at all, merely wishing that he’d been born with another two legs.
Revenge?
Oh my goodness!
Meng Lei had killed even his half-deity father, Goblen. How was a second-generation half-deity like him going to be his match?
He’d better just hurry and flee!
“Run?”
Meng Lei laughed and took a step forward.
The next second, he appeared bizarrely above Briggs and stepped onto his head.
“Damned beast, where do you think you’re going instead of obediently waiting to be slain by me?”
Roar!
Briggs came to a sudden stop and pleaded in a quivering voice, “S-sir, please spare my life! The one that wants to kill you is Goblen! It has nothing to do with me!”
“Goblen? Is it really alright for you to address your father directly by his name like that?”
Meng Lei’s brows knitted together slightly.
“For daring to assassinate you, that knave Goblen is too bold and impudent, perverse, unforgivable, heinous to the extreme, and deserves to die for his crimes!”
A trembling Briggs went on. “It’s a disgrace to have a father like him. I’ve long wanted to sever ties with him and draw a clear line between the two of us. You can verify the authenticity of my claims!”
o((⊙_⊙))o?
Meng Lei was flabbergasted. “Why does someone as shameless and thick-skinned as you even exist in this world? I’m embarrassed to associate with you. You’d better just die!”
Then, the Gods-Slaying Spear shot out of nowhere and instantly pierced through Briggs’ head.
“Ding! 1 Golden Colossal Dragon killed, 891 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals gained!”
A system notification sounded in a timely manner.
“That guy doesn’t have a divine incarnation?”
Meng Lei was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised.
Judging from Briggs’ size and aura, he was indeed a half-deity. Meng Lei had initially thought that he wouldn’t be able to completely kill him with just one strike.
Little did he expect... that he would.
What a surprise!
What he didn’t know was that Briggs had been born after Goblen had broken through to half-deity status. Though born with a half-deity’s body, his comprehension of laws of nature was actually incredibly poor.
Over the last 20,000-odd years, all Briggs had comprehended was just the Golden Colossal Dragons’ inborn laws of nature, metal-elemental laws of nature.
As he held no aptitude for comprehending laws of nature, he had no need to split his divine spirit. As a result, he didn’t own any incarnations at all.
Without an alternate incarnation, he naturally died with one hit.
“What a pleasant surprise!”
With a wave of his arm, Meng Lei stored Briggs’ carcass into the Tower of Time.
He was currently just a teenage God-Slaying Rat and needed to nourish himself well. Half-deity Golden Colossal Dragon meat would make a pretty good snack.
“H-he’s come over!”
“Quick!”
“Run!”
“Split up and run!”
The 500 Saint Domains had witnessed in entirety Meng Lei killing Briggs. They had long since been frightened out of their wits, so they tried to run at once,
“Divine Technique: Ultimate Alchemy!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
500 golden light beams, not one more and not one less, descended from above and landed on them with pinpoint accuracy.
Buzz...
Power of divinity erupted and instantly turned 500 fully alive Saint Domains into 500 statues, and they became completely still.
“Another 2,800 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals gained! Not bad, not bad!”
Highly satisfied with his gains, Meng Lei then came up to the empress with a flash.
“W-what do you want?”
Fear had caused blood to drain from the
