Three-Headed Demon Dragon, Fallen!

Resurrection—this ability is practically heaven-defying, a divine power with a very low chance of awakening even for a demonic beast like the Three-Headed Demon Dragon after becoming a god. Only those with sufficiently concentrated Flood Dragon bloodline have the possibility of awakening. This requires a certain degree of atavism in their genes, and this mutated Three-Headed Demon Dragon, stimulated by the virus, exhibited a certain degree of atavism in its genes, thus gaining this divine power.

This was not good news for Gu Ding, but the Sea Emperor's tone seemed to have lost its previous unease as he continued his explanation.

"The Three-Headed Demon Dragon's resurrection ability comes at a great cost. This supernatural power is destructive; its three heads represent three lives, and it can only resurrect a maximum of three times in its lifetime. But with each resurrection, its cultivation will drastically decline. If it hadn't perished, it should already be Four-Star Mid-rank God, but this time, after perishing and being resurrected, it will directly drop to the level of One-Star Mid-rank God, and its internal energy will be reduced to less than nine-tenths. If it perishes again, its cultivation will fall below the level of Mid-rank God and be relegated to Low-rank God."

"In other words, with the suppressive effect of the Martial Dao Domain, he is no longer my opponent." Gu Ding cast his gaze over and watched as the Three-Headed Demon Dragon reformed.

After the Three-Headed Demon Dragon took shape, its three enormous heads twisted, their eyes gleaming with ferocity as they stared in the direction of Gu Ding. From afar, it roared angrily at Gu Ding, "Insect, your advancement to Four-Star Mid-rank God this time is a sure thing. If it weren't for your interference, how could you have perished! You probably didn't expect that you could be resurrected, did you..."

"I didn't know before, but I do now." Gu Ding emerged from his Burning Heaven state without the slightest fear, reverting to his original youthful appearance. "Not only do I know you have three lives, but I also know that each time you are resurrected, your cultivation will decline significantly."

"Hmph, even if your cultivation has declined, you are still Mid-rank God. You, an ant who hasn't even reached the Demigod Realm, do you think you can kill me despite being above your level?! I'm too lazy to waste words with you, you ant, die!" The Three-Headed Demon Dragon said, spitting out icy blue flames at Gu Ding again.

Where the flames passed, the sea, previously melted by lightning, was once again frozen solid.

Gu Ding's combat amplification abilities were finally activated again, with a tenfold increase in High-Level Berserk, a twentyfold increase in High-Level Attraction and Repulsion Force, and a hundredfold increase in Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body. Gu Ding's Combat Strength was directly elevated from less than a one-star god to Four-Star Low-rank God.

Seeing the flames approaching, Gu Ding had a thought, and the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's enormous body was also pulled into his domain.

The demonic dragon was pulled into the domain and clearly felt its Combat Strength suppressed. It was also surprised, as its own domain, though only at the second star level, was stronger than Gu Ding's. Logically, Gu Ding shouldn't have been able to pull it into his domain. But then it realized something terrifying: the opponent's domain was likely also at the second star level.

The suppression from that three-star domain reduced the demonic dragon's Combat Strength to a full one-thirtieth of its normal Combat Strength. He was currently a One-Star Mid-rank God, yet his Combat Strength was comparable to a peak Two-Star Mid-rank God. However, under the domain's suppression, his Combat Strength was once again reduced back to that of One-Star Mid-rank God.

Gu Ding's Combat Strength was increased thirtyfold, elevating him to Five-Star Low-rank God. However, Gu Ding also possessed a curse-type ability that stacked damage, capable of increasing his maximum Combat Strength by 1024 times, comparable to One-Star Mid-rank God. It even surpassed the Combat Strength of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

Moreover, the original Demon Dragon's greatest advantage in divine source, after being downgraded to One-Star Mid-rank God, is now only one-eighth of its original strength, which is no longer as strong as Gu Ding's current divine source.

Seeing that its attack had been neutralized by being pulled into the domain, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon unleashed its icy blue flames once more, attempting to freeze Gu Ding again.

Unexpectedly, Black Flame erupted from Gu Ding's hand, colliding with the icy blue flames. Strangely, the collision didn't produce a booming sound; instead, the Ice-Blue Flame were silently enveloped by the Black Flame and quickly vanished.

After extinguishing the icy blue flames, Gu Ding clearly felt that the fire seed in his Soul Space seemed to have grown slightly.

Seeing its icy blue flames extinguished, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon was clearly taken aback. "How could this be? I am Mid-rank God, how could your divine source strength surpass mine?"

"That's just how it is, nothing strange about it, right?" Gu Ding flashed and appeared above the head of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, delivering a heavy punch. He was using his most proficient close-quarters combat technique.

Compared to the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, Gu Ding was as small as an ant. At such close range, he couldn't easily retaliate. He was prepared to withstand the attack and then force Gu Ding away. However, to his surprise, Gu Ding's attack didn't even break through his defenses. He couldn't help but sneer, "An ant is just an ant! With your attack power, you wouldn't even leave a mark on my scales!"

"Is that so?" Gu Ding had actually planted the curse of stacking damage with his punch just now. His first strike was indeed only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Five-Star Low-rank God, but after ten stacks, it would definitely be able to cause fatal damage to the demonic dragon.

As Gu Ding spoke, the second and third blows came down in quick succession.

The Three-Headed Demon Dragon quickly sensed the anomaly; the human's attack power was increasing. Its rightmost head hurriedly exhaled a cloud of black mist, enveloping its body in an attempt to force Gu Ding out.

As soon as the black mist appeared, Gu Ding immediately sensed something amiss. It consisted of countless tiny black energy particles, each incredibly heavy yet suspended in the air, severely hindering Gu Ding's movements. Gu Ding then realized that the principle behind his black mist weakening the lightning was actually the collision and annihilation effect of the high-density black mist energy body with the lightning.

However, this technique was largely ineffective against Gu Ding. With a wave of his hand, the black devouring flames erupted once more, instantly consuming all the black energy particles around Gu Ding. Then, they rapidly spread outwards, devouring even more black energy particles. The devouring flames were not only not consumed, but instead grew stronger due to the energy replenishment from these energy particles.

In just a short while, the black mist above the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's head was completely swallowed up.

After discovering the peculiarity of Gu Ding's Black Flame, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon knew that the black mist and the icy blue flames were useless against Gu Ding, so it began to spit out energy spheres towards Gu Ding from its left head.

With a flash, Gu Ding appeared above the head. He dodged several attacks from the energy spheres and slammed his fist down again and again.

The fourth strike, the fifth strike...

By the tenth strike, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon 'Three-Headed Demon Dragon defenses had been breached, leaving it somewhat dazed. But the eleventh strike was the one that truly proved crucial. This strike unleashed the combined power of Gu Ding's ten previous attacks to their fullest extent, the powerful punch blasting off half of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon's head.

After being struck, the head slumped limply and crashed into the sea, creating massive waves and whirlpools tens of thousands of meters high.

The other two heads roared furiously. "You ant, you deserve to die! You actually smashed one of my heads!"

The Three-Headed Demon Dragon now only has two heads left, flailing wildly in the air, its eyes revealing a hint of fear towards Gu Ding.

Gu Ding could smash one of their heads, he could certainly smash a second and a third.

Yuan Gu Ding had been somewhat worried that his attack power might not be enough, but now it seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary. He flashed and appeared above the second head. His heavy fist slammed down again...

The second and third heads fell off quickly.

An enormous corpse floated on the sea, creating waves and flowing with black blood. Yet, the oppressive aura emanating from the corpse kept all living beings from approaching.

Gu Ding stood on the sea, not far from the corpse of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, patiently waiting for the Three-Headed Demon Dragon to resurrect next.

Time passed second by second. The enormous corpse finally regained its vitality. The vitality grew stronger and stronger, and after the three huge heads were repaired, the heart of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon began to beat again.

"Hey, stop pretending to be dead. I know you're awake." Gu Ding stomped on the tail of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon. The Three-Headed Demon Dragon let out a miserable howl at the same time.

He has now been demoted to a lower- Five-Star Low-rank God, and even without the damage stacking effect, Gu Ding's attacks are enough to cause him serious harm. That kick just now almost crushed his tail.

"Insects... humans..." The Three-Headed Demon Dragon, who was about to summon the Gu Ding ants, finally changed his tune, his attitude noticeably less arrogant than before. He knew his life was now in the hands of this tiny human before him, and though helpless, he had no choice but to yield. He had already died twice; another death would be permanent. "If you spare me, I'm willing to give you half of the treasure within the ruins..."

Gu Ding silently watched the Three-Headed Demon Dragon. He never expected that such an arrogant guy would beg for mercy.

Seeing that Gu Ding didn't speak, the Three-Headed Demon Dragon cautiously continued to probe, "How about we split it 60/40, you get 60%, I get 40%. That's already a big concession, after all, I'm the one who discovered this site..."

Gu Ding remained silent. He wasn't actually thinking about dividing the treasure of the ruins; he was wondering what Trump Card he had left to deal with Kepu after killing the Three-Headed Demon Dragon.

"Fine, a 30/70 split, you get 70% and I get 30%, that's already the biggest concession I can make. If you still don't agree, then just kill me. Only I know the location of that ruin right now. If you kill me, even if you search this planet for a hundred years, you might not find the entrance." The Three-Headed Demon Dragon still wanted to use the ruin to threaten Gu Ding.

However, for Gu Ding at this moment, the most important thing was not the treasure in the ruins, but Pa Ma's life. So, Gu Ding finally spoke, "I'm sorry, I really want the treasure, but if I don't kill you, Kepu won't tell me where he hid Pa Ma, so you must die!"

"Don't kill me, I can acknowledge you as my master..." The Three-Headed Demon Dragon finally surrendered completely.

But Gu Ding's gaze remained cold. He unleashed three fingers in quick succession, and the three finger Finger Force pierced through the massive head of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon without any hindrance.

The Three-Headed Demon Dragon's enormous body collapsed, crashing into the water and utterly lifeless.

Gu Ding flicked out three streaks of azure fire, which coiled around the neck of the Three-Headed Demon Dragon, severing its three heads. Only then did he retrieve the Communication Crystal from his Storage Space and activate the call.

A moment later, Kepu's repulsive face reappeared on the projection within the crystal.

"The Three-Headed Demon Dragon is dead. Now can you tell me your location?" Gu Ding projected the three heads and the enormous beast corpse behind him onto the Communication Crystal. (To be continued...)
