This meant that his rebirth had, in total, consumed 888 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, leaving him with only a fraction of the original amount now!
This also meant that he had gone right back to square one—Meng Lei had become a pauper again!
“At least it’s succeeded, though.”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Had his wealth been any less, his rebirth would really have sent everything he had previously achieved down the drain and destroyed everything he had in one day.
He would have been doomed if that had happened.
Meng Lei balled his hands into fists. He could feel that his physique had changed completely and could sense great power constantly gushing out from the depths of his blood.
“What a powerful sensation! It’s much, much more powerful than what it had previously been! Surely I can be considered a young adult Divine Netherworld Phoenix now?
“Since my divine body has been successfully reconstructed, it’s time to go out.”
A boom rang out with a thought from Meng Lei, and the black fire cocoon enveloping him instantly exploded. Meng Lei showed himself in front of everyone once more.
“He’s out!”
Dodola, Cyrus the Dark Demonic Dragon, the 45 Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords, as well as Bubbles and the others who had been subdued, all looked over.
“That guy’s actually succeeded!”
Dodola was so astonished that it widened its eyes so large that its eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. It had already gotten all ready to lend him a hand, yet Meng Lei had actually succeeded in the end!
“Just how did he manage to do that?”
Dodola couldn’t help but somewhat question its own life.
The Dark Demonic Dragon was also questioning its own life. It simply couldn’t understand—despite casting Rise From The Ashes so recklessly, Meng Lei had actually succeeded?
Was there even any justice in this world?
Who the hell was it supposed to reason with?
Nevertheless, now that things had come to this, it was meaningless no matter how indignant he was. The Dark Demonic Dragon knew very well that with Meng Lei’s successful rebirth, it would have to face an even stronger Meng Lei now.
Meng Lei’s physical body was already comparable to an average intermediate deity’s previously, but it must be even stronger now. Was it a match for him?
What’s more was that higher deity behind him, too.
The thought of Dodola drove the Dark Demonic Dragon rather mad. With a higher deity like that hidden behind Meng Lei’s back, how was it supposed to fight him?
Kill Meng Lei, and then be killed by Dodola? Take the initiative to concede defeat and allow Meng Lei to humiliate it?
It was a goddamn miserable outcome no matter which it chose!
“Mr. Cyrus, I’ve kept you waiting,” said Meng Lei as he rose into the air.
His pupils were pitch-black and as pure and flawless as an infant’s, while two tiny licks of flames flickered in their depths.
“Human deity!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon’s eyes bore into Meng Lei.
Even though Meng Lei didn’t physically look like he had changed much, the Dark Demonic Dragon could nonetheless still sense an invisible pressure coming from him.
The pressure alarmed and suffocated it. It was as if it wasn’t facing a human deity but a ferocious primeval beast!
Although he hasn’t reached the Great Demon God stage yet, he has already far surpassed an ordinary Demon God!
The Dark Demonic Dragon was alarmed.
That damned human deity! To think the rebirth has actually strengthened him so much. How inconceivable!
“Mr. Cyrus, let us continue our battle!”
Meng Lei’s eyes were clear. Battle spirit surged in his eyes. He was rather eager to test his newfound strength.
“Human deity, leave Demonic Dragon Continent with your servants at once, and I’ll take it that nothing has ever happened.”
The Dark Demonic Dragon growled, “From then on, we’ll stay in our own lanes and mind our own business. How does that sound?”
“That’s a nice plan you have for yourself.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly and said, “Do you think you can make me leave so easily after you’ve deployed troops to invade my territory? Aren’t you indulging in fantasy a little too much?”
“What do you want, human deity?”
The Dark Demonic Dragon roared deeply.
“One must shoulder the consequences of their own mistakes.”
Meng Lei’s voice gradually turned icy as he said, “I’m open to the idea if you wish to bury the hatchet and turn hostility into friendship. Everything is open for discussion if you hand over your divine spirit origin energy to me.”
The Dark Demonic Dragon flew into a thundering rage and roared, “That’s going too far human deity!”
Chapter 278: Netherworld Divine Fire Upgrades, The End of The Demonic Dragon
Chilly winds blew fiercely above the Camor Plateaus.
Bubbles and the nine other deities were covered in wounds and appeared extremely worse for the wear. They had even been firmly subdued by the 45 Demon Lords and Great Demon Lords.
Had the Dark Demonic Dragon not been afraid of Dodola backing Meng Lei up and thus acted with caution, Bubbles and the others would have been executed a long time ago.
Dodola had not only protected Meng Lei but also indirectly saved Bubbles and the others. From this, one could tell just how fearsome a higher deity’s influence was.
“That’s going too far, human deity!”
The Dark Demonic Dragon glared at Meng Lei, its eyes spitting flames of fury as it gnashed its teeth hatefully.
“Let’s fight, then!”
The corners of Meng Lei’s lips quirked upward as he said, “I believe you’ll make a wise decision when the battle ends.”
The Dark Demonic Dragon hadn’t completely lost all reason yet. It roared, “Human deity, leave before you enrage me!”
“Cut the crap!”
Meng Lei snorted, and then he promptly launched
