His head was burning;
His limbs were burning;
His intestines were burning;
Every part of his body was in flames.
Gradually, the viscous Netherworld Divine Fire formed a huge solid-like black cocoon, wrapping up Meng Lei within!
The cocoon was inscribed with strange fire runes. They were like tadpoles full of life squirming around in a special rhythm.
“That’s...”
The Dark Demonic Dragon watched the fire cocoon forming abruptly before its pupils contracted suddenly, and it exclaimed, “Rise From The Ashes! Damn it! This rascal dares to use Rise From The Ashes at this timing!”
The Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s race was well known across the Void, dominating in the Netherworld. Hence, it would be difficult for Cyrus not to have heard about them.
Of course, Cyrus knew the Divine Netherworld Phoenix’s exclusive Innate Special Ability—Rise From The Ashes!
In the lifetime of a Divine Netherworld Phoenix, it must complete nine rebirths before it became a true adult and reached its peak, but it was incredibly difficult.
This was due to every rebirth came with an immense amount of risk—any carelessness would burn itself to death till it turned into ashes and the divine spirit was destroyed. That was why it was so dangerous!
For that reason, every time before it went through Rise From The Ashes, the Divine Netherworld Phoenix would normally do a full preparation and find a safe hidden spot to perform this Innate Special Ability.
Who else would be like Meng Lei who—midway through the battle—decided to perform Rise From The Ashes after seeing that he was losing?
This isn’t a goddamn Rise From The Ashes, it’s just the same as a moth flying into the fire—seeking death!
“Foolish human deity, since you’re seeking death, then don’t blame me for granting your wish!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon gave a deep roar as demonic aura gathered in its mouth and shot the demonic aura ball toward Meng Lei like a cannon.
“Die! Human deity!”
The demonic aura ball was formed with an extremely compressed demonic aura containing huge destructive powers. If it hit, the black fire cocoon would surely be blasted into pieces.
“Master!”
Bubbles and the rest shouted anxiously, though they could not help Meng Lei with all the Demon Lords surrounding them. They could only watch a ball of demonic aura shot toward Meng Lei!
“Human deity, you’re finished!” The Dark Demonic Dragon sneered. However, right before the ball hit the fire cocoon, a space vortex appeared out of nowhere and devoured the black aura ball.
“What?”
The Dark Demonic Dragon was stunned as it could not believe its eyes.
Where did that space vortex come from?
“It vanished?”
Bubbles and the other nine deities, plus the 45 Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords were all in shock. How did such a ferocious attack vanish just like that?
What kind of situation was this?
The Dark Demonic Dragon growled and sprayed out another dragon breath of destruction, the result remained the same as the dragon breath was devoured by the space vortex too!
“Goddamn it! What’s happening?”
The Dark Demonic Dragon was going crazy. Just then, a little demon flapping its wings appeared in front of the fire cocoon.
“Little rascal, taking advantage of others’ perilous state isn’t a good habit!” The little demon looked at the Dark Demonic Dragon angrily and shouted, “Wait till Meng Lei finishes his rebirth process before you fight him, understand?”
Compared to the Dark Demonic Dragon’s humongous body, the little demon was too small to command any authority, especially when it called the Dark Demonic Dragon ‘little rascal’. The scene was as comical as anyone would expect!
Yet, the Dark Demonic Dragon did not object. Instead, it looked at this little demon with a face in horror, as if it saw a primeval behemoth!
“You better follow as I say! Wait for him to complete his rebirth process before resuming your battle! Or else I’ll skin you alive!”
The little demon threatened one last time before it disappeared. The Dark Demonic Dragon was panting hard while it broke out in cold sweat.
It did not attack the fire cocoon anymore and stayed at the same place obediently!
This scene left the demon subordinates clueless about what was happening as they looked at each other in the eyes.
“What happened to our great master?
“Afraid of a little demon?”
“What exactly is going on then?”
They could not understand what was in the mind of the Dark Demonic Dragon. If they did, they would be scared to death!
“Higher deity! That’s definitely the aura of a higher deity! This damned human deity, he has a higher deity supporting him!”
Terror gripped the Dark Demonic Dragon.
It neither knew the little demon nor its background, but the aura it emitted was definitely over the level of an intermediate deity!
That little demon was a higher deity!
A higher deity!
Even though it seemed mighty now, it could get smashed into pieces with one slap if it faced a higher deity!
That was the terrifying part of it. It would never have thought that there was a higher deity on Meng Lei’s side!
What could it even do now?
Chapter 277: Bankrupt Overnight, Reconstructing The Divine Body
“You little scoundrel, how dare you act so recklessly!”
In the Tower of Time, Dodola cursed as it watched Meng Lei, who was currently wrapped in a fire cocoon. Evidently, it was greatly displeased with what he had done.
“Rise From The Ashes is a highly risky move. A moment of carelessness and one will vanish in a puff of smoke, their divine spirit fully destroyed.
“Other Divine Netherworld Phoenixes only wish they could make even safer and even more perfect preparations, yet he actually went ahead and cast Rise From The Ashes under such circumstances. He shouldn’t have done that even if he has a death wish!”
Despite how fiercely Dodola was ranting, it couldn’t hide the look of worry in its
