Alas, there was nothing she could do. The severity of the troubles that Meng Lei had caused was simply too great, The seven elders’ intentions to kill him were unprecedentedly strong. All she could do was to choose to remain neutral and help neither party.
“What terrifying power of divinity fluctuations!”
“Seems like it’s coming from Grandmaster Goblen’s island?”
“What exactly has happened over there?”
“Let’s head over and take a look!”
Dragon Island appeared to stretch on boundlessly, but there ultimately was still a limit to it. The torrential power of divinity waves had instantly spread throughout the whole of Dragon Island and alarmed everyone there.
...
“Surely that knave is dead by now?”
After furiously and indiscriminately bombarding the spot for quite a while, the seven heavily panting half-deities finally ceased their attacks.
Then, they tried their best to see if they could detect Meng Lei’s presence in the sky that had already been turned upside down from the chaos. Upon discovering that his presence was no longer there, they heaved a sigh of relief at once.
Well, no one could’ve survived their—seven half-deities’—joint attacks, after all. No one!
“That knave is finally dead. I had certainly broken into a cold sweat from fear just now!”
One of the half-deities, who was still experiencing lingering fears, said, “I was really worried that he would suddenly come charging out and also deal me a jab with his spear just now!”
“You don’t say!”
Another half-deity sighed and remarked, “What a pity about Elder Horace. He died too tragically.”
“Elder Horace died a worthy death!”
Goblen spoke up at this point and said, “That knave is dead. The empire’s crisis has been resolved, and the Dragons’ might and authority have been protected. Elder Horace deserves great credit for that!”
“Grandmaster is right!”
The other half-deities very much approved of his statement.
“Dead? Who says I’m dead?”
A mocking voice rang out at this point.
The half-deities’ countenances changed drastically, and then they saw Meng Lei standing behind them with one hand in his pocket and the other carrying the Gods-Slaying Spear, watching them cheerfully.
“You... You’re not dead!!”
The half-deities felt as if their minds had exploded. They instantly retreated with a burst of speed, fear, anger, and horror in their hearts.
Under the bombardment of such raging power of divinity attacks, he was actually still alive? Was he really human?
“He’s actually still alive!”
Amolin, who was just as shocked, stared at Meng Lei with disbelief.
“Do all of you really wish that much for my death?” Meng Lei shook his head lightly. “Your attacks were certainly fearsome. Even a half-deity that had already manifested a divine core might have perished under your siege. Unfortunately, I’m the one whom you’ve encountered, so you’re destined only for tragedy. Dear all, let’s fight with all you’ve got!”
Roar!
Howl!
The half-deities promptly transformed into their true forms—they were actually seven several thousand feet-long Colossal Dragons in varying forms.
Their wings flapped as the force of their Dragon might fluctuated. Their claws were razor-sharp and murderous hostility gleamed in their eyes.
A 4,000-feet-long Frost Colossal Dragon!
A 5,000-feet-long Earth Dragon, Blue Dragon, and Tempest Colossal Dragon each!
And a 6,000-feet-long Thunder Dragon, Black Dragon, and Golden Colossal Dragon each!
“Kill!!”
With a roar, seven Dragon King-level Colossal Dragons charged furiously toward Meng Lei, just like seven lions pursuing a honey badger in the plains.
Razor-sharp claws, cold, gleaming fangs, strong, powerful tails, and dragon breath capable of destroying everything... Every attack contained a fearsome level of destructiveness.
“Switching over to physical attacks? What a bunch of fools!”
Meng Lei almost burst into laughter. “The combination of God’s Domain and Divine Technique attacks could more or less still give me a bit of a hard time, but transforming into your true forms... That’s practically sending yourselves to death’s door.
“Dear all, since all of you are so sincerely giving away your lives, then I shall receive them without standing on any ceremony.
“The first one!”
Meng Lei took a stride forward and quietly appeared above Goblen the Golden Colossal Dragon’s head.
Without any hesitation, he raised the Gods-Slaying Spear and stabbed downward. With a splurt, it pierced right through Goblen’s head.
Howl!
Goblen let out a shrill roar, his blood spraying everywhere like a waterfall.
“The second one!”
Meng Lei chose the Earth Dragon.
As an earth-elemental Colossal Dragon, the Earth Dragon’s defenses were definitely one of the top few among the seven Colossal Dragons.
With a body full of indestructible ocher-yellow scales, and especially when it cast its Divine Technique-level Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor, one could call it... Absolute defenses!
True enough, the Earth Dragon had put on the Earth Guardian’s Saintly Armor a long time ago and was protecting itself, lest it ended up like Horace.
“What a shame that it won’t be of any use!”
Given Meng Lei’s strength and coupled with the Gods-Slaying Spear’s sharpness, the spear pierced through the Earth Dragon’s head without any surprises, and it died on the spot.
“Elder Carol!”
At the sight of the two who were killed by Meng Lei in the blink of an eye, the remaining five Colossal Dragons were extremely horrified and frightened, causing their swift and forceful attacks to slow down.
They might have slowed down, but Meng Lei didn’t show any mercy.
Splurt!
Splurt!
Splurt!
Meng Lei came and went like a ghost, delivering four jabs in succession. The Blue Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Frost Colossal Dragon, and the Tempest Colossal Dragon were successively stabbed dead.
“Collect!”
All of these were superior-grade Dragon flesh, so Meng Lei would never discard them, of course. He stored them in the Tower of Time for preservation so that he could eat them as snacks
