But Chen Cheng still did not stop. His fist, heavy with the power of his Divine Domain, came crashing down. With a crack, he punched a fist-sized hole through the Alligator Dragon Emperor's skull, the hardest part of his body.
Through the hole, he could even see the Alligator Dragon Emperor's fresh brain and the fist-sized, water-blue Origin Magic Crystal at its center.
Just as the Alligator Dragon Emperor thought he was about to die, the armor on Chen Cheng's left hand receded, exposing his palm. He drew his right hand across it, opening a bloody cut.
Chen Cheng dripped his blood essence onto the Origin Magic Crystal in the Tuo Dragon's brain, then used a divine pact to force a life contract upon the Alligator Dragon Emperor.
Sensing a foreign consciousness suddenly appear in his soul, the Alligator Dragon Emperor tried to resist. His beast soul slammed against the contract, and the next moment, his soul appeared inside a Divine Kingdom.
There, divine beasts danced and evil spirits roared. Heaven towered in splendor, while the wails of Hell rang out.
More terrifying still was the immense figure hanging in the sky like a blazing sun. The moment its gaze fell on him, the Alligator Dragon Emperor's soul began to collapse.
Seeing that a single glance was about to kill the Alligator Dragon Emperor, Chen Cheng immediately drew on the healing rules within his Divine Kingdom to stabilize his soul.
Then he sent the soul back into his body.
By the time the Alligator Dragon Emperor woke, he had shrunk from hundreds of meters long to just a few meters and was back in his underwater palace.
He thought it had all been a strange dream, but the awareness of master and servant etched into his soul told him otherwise.
