Golden Dragon

After receiving Boti's command, the Three-Headed Giant took a large step and was right in front of Gu Ding and the others.

"Roar..." He looked down at Gu Ding and his group, letting out a menacing roar. The frequencies of his three heads were all different, sounding like three piercing and discordant harmonies, making people involuntarily cover their ears. After that roar, he stomped down on the spot where Gu Ding and his group were.

His foot moved with incredible speed, his massive green foot stomping down like a colossal object falling from the sky. Gu Ding and Bigge quickly dodged, pulling Elsa and Liliath away from their spots as well.

The Three-Headed Giant did not give up his torment. He stomped down with his second and third feet in quick succession. Each stomp caused the ground in the entire area to tremble violently, creating a sense of dread that the ground might completely collapse and cause everyone to fall.

Gu Ding and the others managed to dodge with great effort and were lucky enough to escape, but the demigod corpse puppets who stood there in a daze were not so fortunate. A few stomps from the Three-Headed Giant killed a large number of them.

Boti, however, didn't care too much. She knew very well that the Grand Elder would compensate her for any number of demigod corpses she lost in battle. Even corpse puppets of the level of Du En and Siguloke were within the Grand Elder's reach. She was completely indifferent to her losses, enjoying the thrill of chasing after Gu Ding and his group. Watching Gu Ding and Bigge flee in a sorry state, constantly having to consider Elsa and Liliath, gave her a strange sense of amusement. It made her let out a sharp laugh, "Hahahaha..."

Hearing her laughter, the Three-Headed Giant seemed to sense its master's pleasure, and its attacks on Gu Ding and his group intensified. It leaped high into the air, then stomped down with both feet simultaneously on the spot where Gu Ding and his companions were.

With that stomp, not only were dozens of demigod corpse puppets crushed to death, but Boti's heart also trembled violently, and her domain almost shattered under the impact. She quickly stopped the three-headed monster's behavior, "Alright, stop playing around, finish them off."

After receiving the order, the three-headed monster let out another roar, as if venting its anger, or perhaps responding to Boti's command. It finally stopped stomping and instead swung its six fists down at Gu Ding and his group. Its fists were so fast that Gu Ding couldn't even catch them; the frenzied gray-green fist energy crashed down on them like countless gray-green comets.

Gu Ding pulled Elsa and Liliath up and frantically dodged, but because of their slowing effect, his movements were still a beat slower.

Bigge had already dodged, suddenly appeared in front of Gu Ding and hastily drew his sword, trying to buy time for Gu Ding other two.

But his black Blade Force was as fragile as glass before the gray-green fist energy, shattering completely upon contact. The fist energy struck Bigge's strong body without reservation, and Bigge coughed up blood, his body flying backward and crashing into the ground some distance away.

This bought Gu Ding some time, allowing him to escape successfully with Liliath and Elsa.

"Sea Emperor, how Bigge?" Gu Ding asked anxiously as he dodged the attack. He had witnessed the intensity of the attack; several demigods caught in the blast were instantly reduced to dust, and Bigge, who had been hit head-on, was likely in grave danger.

"His bones are all shattered and many internal organs are damaged, but he is not dead yet. His breathing is very weak, and he must be treated as soon as possible." Sea Emperor examined Bigge's physical condition and thankfully Bigge did not die immediately.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Bigge wouldn't have..." Liliath's tears flowed uncontrollably. She knew, of course, that Bigge had taken the hit to protect the three of them, and that Gu Ding was actually capable of dodging it. If Elsa hadn't had to take care of her, she probably wouldn't have been hit so easily either. Only she herself, under an attack of this magnitude, had absolutely no ability to defend or dodge.

"Bigge isn't dead yet." Gu Ding knew this wasn't the time to comfort Liliath, so he could only say the most effective thing he could.

Hearing that Bigge was not dead, Liliath finally felt a little better.

Gu Ding turned around and looked at the woman sitting on the three-headed monster's shoulder. The woman was laughing happily and saying some bad things about Bigge, and the Three-Headed Giant did not immediately attack.

"Sea Emperor, I remember when we bought this axe, you said you couldn't unlock the seal, but there was an ancient spell that could awaken the Artifact Spirit within the axe. Combined with your unlocking abilities, there's a high chance you could unlock this axe, right?" Gu Ding suddenly asked. "It seems like it would require a lot of blood."

"Gu Ding, it's no use. Even if you summon the Artifact Spirit, you won't be a match for him. His strength is already comparable to Three-Star Mid-rank God. No matter what method you use, you can't defeat him." The Sea Emperor hurriedly explained that the Blood Sacrifice Technique was different from ordinary blood sacrifices. It required two-thirds of a person's blood to be used for the sacrifice.

"We don't need to defeat this three-headed monster; we just need to destroy this woman's domain," Gu Ding, his mind clear. "Tell me how to do it?"

"You'll die if you do that!" Sea Emperor knew very well what the consequences of doing so would be.

"That's still better than being turned into a corpse puppet. At least the others can survive." Gu Ding clenched his fist and turned to look at Elsa. "Elsa, if I fall, pick up this axe, destroy this area, and then lead everyone to escape from here quickly."

After Gu Ding finished speaking, without listening to what the Sea Emperor said, he directly slashed his wrist with the axe, forcibly shutting down his advanced regeneration ability. Bright red blood flowed out continuously, dripping onto the axe blade. "Sea Emperor, tell me what to do next."

The Sea Emperor knew that even if he said nothing, Gu Ding would drain all his blood, so he helplessly transmitted the information about the forbidden blood sacrifice into Gu Ding's mind.

Following the information in his mind, Gu Ding began to draw strange patterns on the axe.

"Hmph, still putting up pointless resistance, it's just a simple Blood Sacrifice Technique. So what if you awakened the Artifact Spirit within the divine artifact? Does this divine artifact have the power to kill a real god?" Boti mocked loudly. "I'll let you summon it today, and then let this Big Guy kill that Artifact Spirit right in front of you, so you'll give up completely."

After the design was completed, the axe slowly floated in the air, and the blood flowing from Gu Ding began to circulate on the surface of the axe, seeping in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene made Boti vaguely aware of something amiss, but she didn't immediately send the three-headed monster to attack. Gu Ding's blood flowed more and more, and the axe, like an insatiable infant, frantically sucked at his blood. With Gu Ding blood loss, Gu Ding's vision began to blur, his body grew heavy, and he felt intense drowsiness; his consciousness gradually faded. However, his strong willpower kept him standing motionless.

When more than a third of his blood had left his body, Gu Ding had completely lost consciousness and was in a near-death state. His heart began to stop beating, and his brain waves grew weaker and weaker...

After two-thirds of his blood had been drawn from his body, Gu Ding's advanced regeneration seemed to have regained its function; his wounds healed instantly, and the bleeding stopped. Even though he had completely lost consciousness, he remained standing in the same spot.

The Sea Emperor failed to notice a detail: while absorbing Gu Ding's blood, the dragon blood that remained on the axe, resembling rust stains, was also absorbed by the axe.

After the forbidden blood sacrifice was completed, with the cooperation of the Sea Emperor, the Artifact Spirit of the axe finally broke free of the seal. Everyone vaguely heard a soft cracking sound, like something being torn apart. Then the shape of the axe began to change drastically, turning into a Golden Dragon.

A Golden Dragon rose up and circled above Gu Ding's head several times. Seemingly sensing Gu Ding's will, it slammed its massive tail into the ground, causing the entire area to tremble.

After that attack, Boti immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. She immediately pointed at the Golden Dragon and shouted at the three-headed monster, "Kill that thing!"

Before the Three-Headed Giant could charge, the dragon slammed down with its tail again. Boti coughed up blood; the dragon's second attack had already torn a crack in the domain. If it were attacked again, his domain would likely shatter completely. At that point, Gu Ding would surely lead the others in a frantic escape, and the Three-Headed Giant Beast, entangled by the dragon, would be unable to break free. Porty was already severely injured; if he rashly pursued them, he might be killed by Gu Ding.

Seeing Gu Ding summon such a thing, she no longer knew how many Trump Card Gu Ding had up his sleeve, and she dared not make such an attempt rashly. But what she didn't know was that although Gu Ding was still standing there with his eyes open, he was actually practically no different from a dead man.

Her greatest hope was that the Three-Headed Giant would kill the dragon in its own territory. As long as its territory remained intact, Gu Ding others would be trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to escape no matter what they did. And then she could finally have her mission accomplished.

Suddenly, Elsa heard the Sea Emperor's voice, "Don't touch Gu Ding now. Although he has lost consciousness, he still has some deterrent effect on that woman. Go over to Bigge and carry him over. If this domain collapses later, take him and Gu Ding and escape towards the port immediately."

The Sea Emperor's words were not only directed at Elsa, but also included Liliath.

Elsa nodded to Liliath, "Keep an eye on Gu Ding, I'll be right back after I go."

Elsa disappeared from the spot as she spoke. After a while, she carried the huge Bigge back on her back. Although Bigge's heartbeat was very weak, he was not dead.

"Elsa, inject him with S-grade Cellular Repair Agent. I just transferred two bottles from Gu Ding's Storage Space to yours," the Sea Emperor's voice came again.

Elsa quickly took out the medicine and injected it into Bigge. Although the effect was very limited, it was better than nothing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the battle between the dragon and the Three-Headed Giant Beast soon broke out... (To be continued).
