Meng Lei’s gaze landed on the Tempest Colossal Dragon once more. He said, “Tell me, who gave you the Devil contract? I can let you go free if you tell me what I want to know.”
“It’s the Dragon God! The Demon God was the one that gave me the Devil contract with the Dark Demonic Dragon. He’s also the one that forced me to enter into the contract!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon shouted hoarsely, “He wanted me to kill you through the Dark Demonic Dragon’s power. All of this is his doing and has nothing to do with me!”
“Him? That doesn’t make sense, though.”
Meng Lei narrowed his eyes and asked, “It doesn’t seem to benefit the Dragon God even if you sign the Devil contract, attract the demon army here, and allow Cyrus to occupy Heaven’s Vault Continent.”
“That... I wouldn’t know, but it is indeed the Dragon God that forced me to sign the Devil contract!
“No grudges or enmity exists between us. How would I possibly sell my soul to a demon just to avenge the Dragons? I’m not that selfless!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon shouted hoarsely, “Lord Meng Lei, you must believe me. I’m innocent!”
“What you say makes sense.”
Meng Lei nodded slightly and said, “In that case, I’ll personally ask the Dragon God about it another time. I believe he’ll be able to give me a satisfactory answer. As for you...”
Meng Lei made a grabbing motion in mid-air and dragged the Tempest Colossal Dragon’s divine spirit out of his sea of consciousness.
Then, he said, “Since I’ve said that I wouldn’t kill you, then I’ll keep my word. You may leave!”
“Leave?”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon, who was currently in his divine spirit form, stared blankly at Meng Lei and then at his body that the Netherworld Divine Fire was burning.
“You... You’re really letting me go?”
To which, Meng Lei replied aloofly, “Do you not want to leave? If so, then you may stay.”
“I’m going! I’m going!”
The Tempest Colossal Dragon hastily shot into the vast sky. Due to its current divine spirit form, it moved even faster than before and vanished into the dark in the blink of an eye.
“Are you letting that guy off so easily, Meng Lei? I don’t mean to nag, but you should eradicate the source of the problem so that they do not resurge.”
Dodola’s voice rang out beside Meng Lei’s ear—it was also watching the ongoings outside.
“Eradicate the source of the problem? Easy-peasy!”
A leisurely smile appeared on Meng Lei’s features, and he snapped his fingers.
“Ahhh!”
A miserable and shrill divine spirit energy fluctuation traveled over from the endless darkness. A bunch of Netherworld Divine Fire flames ignited within the Tempest Colossal Dragon’s divine spirit and burned wantonly.
The Netherworld Divine Fire was capable of setting anything and everything on fire.
“I knew you weren’t that kind!”
Dodola had a contemptuous look on its countenance.
“Hehe!”
Meng Lei chuckled, and then, he turned and flew toward Demonic Dragon Continent. When he was near the dimensional wall, it took the initiative to rip a gate open and allow Meng Lei through.
That was what made an existential plane’s master so powerful. Meng Lei would still be able to return to Heaven’s Vault Continent without being repelled even after 10,000 years from his point of deification.
Meng Lei didn’t linger after stepping into the Demonic Dragon Continent. He returned to Heaven’s Vault Continent, and then, he released and spread his divine cognition into the surroundings to locate the continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane.
He wasn’t determined to take Heaven’s Vault Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane just for the sake of taking control of the continent. More importantly... He wanted to find someone!
Heaven’s Vault Continent was very big. On top of that, the Heart of The Existential Plane was hidden in a very secluded place. This made searching for it a very difficult task.
Meng Lei was very patient, however. He had gained some insight toward locating an existential plane’s Heart after reading Cyrus’ memories, so he knew that there was no meaning to being impatient about it.
He continuously teleported and searched unceasingly.
As the saying went, “The diligent and faithful are rewarded.”
Three days later, Meng Lei finally found the Heart of The Existential Plane. However, when he reached the area where the Heart was, he saw something that was within his expectations yet also surprised him at the same time—the Heart of The Existential Plane... had already been taken!
Someone had already left their divine spirit mark on the Heart of The Existential Plane ahead of him!
Meng Lei’s brows drew together slightly. By right, it wasn’t that strange that someone had gotten ahead of him and already refined the Heart of The Existential Plane.
After all, Heaven’s Vault Continent had seen the birth of four true gods. Any of them might have already refined the Heart of The Existential Plane. There was nothing to be astonished about.
But what Meng Lei couldn’t understand was that since Heaven’s Vault Continent already had a master, then why didn’t its master obstruct his emergence? Or even erase him?
One must know that he had driven out the four major races, dissolved the four major empires, and unified Heaven’s Vault Continent.
Had the existential plane’s master intended to erase him, it would have been too easy a task for them to accomplish. Yet they hadn’t!
This was incomprehensible!
But...
“So what even if someone has gotten a step ahead of me? I can destroy the divine spirit mark and take back the Heart of The Existential Plane all the same!”
Meng Lei let out an icy snort. Then, his divine cognition took on the shape of a sharp knife and cleaved mercilessly onto the divine spirit mark left on the Heart of The Existential Plane. Once he destroyed the divine
