Chapter 1176, Fury of All Dragons!

Translator: Silavin

 

Compared to the Fallen Corpse Ancient God, which still slumbered, the threat of the Slaughter Ancient God right now was a lot higher.

 

Moreover, the rate at which the Slaughter Ancient God’s strength grew was likely the fastest of any Ancient God. If they failed to kill him now, the next time they encountered him, he would be even more terrifying.

 

If Lu Fan and his companions could not achieve a leap in their own strength, they could only watch as the Slaughter Ancient God gradually toppled the world, piece by piece.

 

But there was no helping it. The way things were developing, if they stayed, they would be killed by the Slaughter Ancient God regardless.

 

Better to leave now, preserve their strength, than to keep fighting a battle they could not possibly win.

 

Even if the chances of winning the next encounter were even more vanishingly slim. A slim chance was still better than no chance at all.

 

Lu Fan’s thinking aligned entirely with Ouyang Bai Ge’s. If they could not win, running was the only option.

 

However, just as Lu Fan was preparing to recall the Devouring Dragon King into his Pet Sub-Space and depart with everyone in tow, the Devouring Dragon King suddenly spoke up.

 

“Don’t be in such a rush to leave! Lu Fan, you still have one last move you haven’t used. Don’t give up so easily. If you give up this readily, everything I’ve been laying the groundwork for will have been completely wasted.”

 

“One last move!?” Lu Fan was momentarily taken aback, genuinely uncertain which move the Devouring Dragon King was referring to.

 

He had fought the Slaughter Ancient God with everything he had, summoning every Pet Dragon he possessed. He had even summoned the Devouring Dragon King herself. What hidden cards had he still not yet played?

 

[Wait, now that I think about it, there was in fact one last card.]

 

Seeing that Lu Fan appeared to have thought of something, the Devouring Dragon King continued, “That’s right. The very Skill that nearly killed me back in the day! That Skill, which allows you to fuse with all of your Pet Dragons and unleash a single strike of tremendous power. Ordinary Skills might not be able to kill the Slaughter Ancient God. They might even allow him to recover his wounds and boost his strength further. But the power of this Skill is immense. It may be capable of exceeding the upper limit of what the Slaughter Ancient God can endure, and truly obliterating him!”

 

“Since we have already pushed ourselves to the very edge, with nowhere left to go, we may as well try this Skill! Include me in the fusion. I can make its power even greater!”

 

These words jolted Lu Fan fully awake.

 

It was only now that Lu Fan understood at last why the Devouring Dragon King, knowing full well that the longer the battle dragged on the stronger the Slaughter Ancient God would become, had persisted in fighting him relentlessly without rest.

 

The Devouring Dragon King had not been trying to let the Slaughter Ancient God grow stronger. She had been steadily draining the Ancient God Power within his body.

 

Every time the Slaughter Ancient God healed his wounds, he consumed vast quantities of Ancient God Power.

 

And no matter how boundless an Ancient God’s Ancient God Power might be, no matter how quickly it regenerated, there was always an upper limit.

 

The Devouring Dragon King’s plan had been to exhaust his Ancient God Power as thoroughly as possible, so that when he sustained severe injuries later, he would lack the Ancient God Power to repair his own body, and could then be killed.

 

The clarity hit Lu Fan all at once. He nodded toward the Devouring Dragon King.

 

“I understand! Let’s go. I shall include you in the Fury of All Dragons. You and I will merge into one, and with a single strike, obliterate the Slaughter Ancient God!”

 

He then called out loudly to Ouyang Bai Ge. “Professor Ouyang, give me one more chance. I have one final Skill to release. If this Skill fails as well, then use whatever you can to teleport all of us away and proceed with the original plan.”

 

“Understood!” Ouyang Bai Ge responded, making her preparations to teleport everyone away at a moment’s notice.

 

Getting everyone out safely was a somewhat taxing undertaking, but she was confident she could do it. Even accounting for the time it would take Lu Fan to release one more Skill, she could manage it comfortably.

 

A crack had already split open in the fabric of the world.

 

With a single thought from Ouyang Bai Ge, everyone could be teleported away instantly.

 

With no lingering concerns at his back, Lu Fan made his own preparations to release the Skill.

 

The reason he had refrained from using Fury of All Dragons until now was that the Skill’s effects were simply too overwhelming, and after using it, Lu Fan himself would be left in an extremely weakened state.

 

Furthermore, ordinary opponents were not worth Lu Fan using this Skill on.

 

And so, the only times Lu Fan had ever used Fury of All Dragons were against the Devouring Dragon King and the Moon Goddess.

 

Each time, it had been because the situation was critical, and the alternative to using the Skill was death.

 

At present, while the situation had not yet reached the point where he would die without Fury of All Dragons, with Ouyang Bai Ge standing as a safety net ready to teleport everyone away at any moment, Lu Fan felt no further reservations.

 

Given all that, there was no reason not to try, to land a lethal blow on the Slaughter Ancient God with Fury of All Dragons.

 

Silver light began to bloom across Lu Fan’s body.

 

He became like a silver black hole, exerting an overwhelming pull on every one of his Pet Dragons.

 

Every Pet Dragon offered no resistance whatsoever, surging toward him in a torrent, pouring into his body one after another.

 

The Devouring Dragon King was no different. She was the last to fly into Lu Fan’s body, merging with him completely.

 

*Boom!*

 

The moment the Devouring Dragon King joined the fusion, the silver radiance emanating from Lu Fan’s body became so blindingly brilliant that no one could look directly at it.

 

Even the Slaughter Ancient God sensed that something had changed. Lu Fan’s aura at this moment had not merely absorbed every Dragon present, it surpassed the combined total of all of them put together.

 

The oppressive pressure of it had already exceeded even the Devouring Dragon King, and even the Slaughter Ancient God felt an incomparably heavy weight of threat pressing down on his chest.

 

“…What Skill is this!?” The Slaughter Ancient God snarled, twisting his body, lunging toward Lu Fan in an attempt to deny him the time to finish releasing it.

 

“Whatever this Skill is, you will all die today! Because I, the Slaughter Ancient God, am invincible!”

 

The four remaining heads of the Slaughter Ancient God snapped open simultaneously, lunging at Lu Fan, intent on tearing him apart within the silver light.

 

However, from within that silver radiance, a single Dragon Claw extended, and seized his body in one motion, slamming him violently into the ground.

 

*Boom!*

 

With a thunderous crash, the entire altar trembled and shuddered. Enormous fissures radiated outward from where the Slaughter Ancient God had been pinned to the ground, spreading across the full surface of the altar.

 

This sudden attack caught the Slaughter Ancient God entirely off guard.

 

He let out a muffled grunt, blood pouring freely from his jaws, unable to move so much as an inch beneath the weight of that claw.
