The Might of the Demon Face

After listening to the Sea Emperor's explanation of the Ancient Myriad Races Ranking, Gu Ding remembered the eye that Fu Tu had previously possessed and couldn't help but ask, "What about the Single-Eyed Race bloodline that Fu Tu obtained? Where does it rank?"

"The highest ranking of the Single-Eyed Race is only a little over 1,200, and the average ranking is around 3,000. [2][3][x]." The Sea Emperor quickly replied, "They are far inferior to the Moon God Race."

With his doubts resolved, Gu Ding regained his composure and looked in the direction of Ye Mei. His illusory moon goddess figure was only a hundred meters tall, a mere ant compared to the fiery dragon in the void. But after hearing the Sea Emperor's explanation of the Moon God Race, Gu Ding knew that winning might not be so simple; victory wasn't determined by size.

After the Ancient Moon God condensed and took shape, the Flame Dragon seemed to sense the threat and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, a roar that seemed to carry a serious warning.

Seeing this, Gu Ding also issued the order to attack.

The true dragon spoke again, and the invincible Five-Colored Flames surged forth once more, the sea of fire as fierce as a world-destroying wave sweeping towards Ye Mei.

The moon goddess made no movement, only her lips moved as if she were murmuring something.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ding's doubts resurfaced.

"The Moon God Race's abilities are very special; they fight by communicating with various energies in the world through incantations," the Sea Emperor explained the reason for the Moon Goddess's murmur.

As expected, Gu Ding quickly saw the Moon Goddess's attack method. After her murmur ended, the area covered by the True Dragon's Five-Colored Flames was less than a hundred meters away from Ye Mei. A colorless ripple spread out, and wherever it passed, the domineering Five-Colored Flames instantly disintegrated. In just a few seconds, the sound wave swept across the entire sea of flames, and the entire five-colored sea of flames was completely extinguished.

"A sonic attack with this kind of power?!" Gu Ding realized that the Moon Goddess had used a sonic attack. But this power was unbelievable, considering that the True Dragon's Five-Colored Flames were the pinnacle of divine fire.

"It's not just a simple sonic attack; it also carries spatial rules. Those divine flames weren't extinguished, but rather transferred to other spaces, making it appear as if they were extinguished." The Sea Emperor's observation became even more meticulous. He clearly saw the countless spatial cracks emanating from the sonic waves.

After careful observation, Gu Ding discovered that the sheer number of those almost imperceptible spatial cracks was astonishing.

In the void, the fiery dragon, its attack thwarted, was enraged. After all, it was merely a summon of Gu Ding and didn't know why its attack had been neutralized. Therefore, it unleashed several more breaths of Five-Colored Flames, attempting to help Gu Ding annihilate its opponent in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the moon goddess's mouth unleashed several more ripples, extinguishing the Five-Colored Flames once more. Unlike the true dragon's fury, she remained remarkably calm.

But the Flame Dragon was completely enraged. With its Five-Colored Flames attack ineffective, it lashed out with its massive tail, attempting to crush its opponent with its bare body and kill it instantly.

The golden dragon tail pressed down like a giant mountain, yet Ye Mei didn't dodge at all. She didn't even make a defensive move.

A loud "boom" rang out.

Gu Ding watched in surprise as the giant tail slammed down, cracking the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. But Gu Ding didn't believe this single attack would defeat Ye Mei. He had just seen the moon goddess's lips still parting.

The dust rising from the ground obscured Gu Ding's vision until, after a moment, the dust lessened, revealing that Gu Ding Ye Mei still standing firmly in place. The slap of the dragon's massive tail seemed to be blocked by a transparent membrane, like an inverted bowl, completely enveloping Ye Mei and the Moon Goddess above him. Without a doubt, this membrane was created by the Moon Goddess.

The fiery dragon, which had expected a single, decisive strike, slammed its massive tail down again upon discovering the transparent membrane blocking its path. It continued the blow relentlessly, one strike after another, determined not to give up until the membrane was shattered.

After being struck more than a hundred times, the thin film showed no signs of breaking, not even a tiny crack.

Gu Ding also discovered that this thin membrane wasn't actually resisting the dragon's attacks head-on, but rather it was elastic. Each time the dragon's tail slammed down, the membrane would be flattened and deformed, then spring back when the giant tail withdrew. It was precisely because of this peculiar elasticity that the membrane never broke.

After a long while, the Flame Dragon retracted its tail, turned its body, and pounced directly at the thin membrane, its huge dragon claws grabbing at the Moon Goddess.

At this moment, the Moon Goddess's lips parted again, and several sealing formations in the void automatically took shape. Black chains extended from the formation plates and swept towards the Flame Dragon.

The Flame Dragon seemed unprepared for this tactic. Unable to dodge in time, it was entangled by a chain. As its movements faltered slightly, more than ten black chains found an opening and bound the Flame Dragon. The Flame Dragon struggled frantically but could not break free.

Seeing this, Gu Ding frowned slightly. The Flame Dragon had lost. The chains seemed to have an energy-absorbing effect; in just a few seconds, the flames on the Flame Dragon's body had dimmed. It seemed impossible for him to break free of the chains.

Not long after Gu Ding had this thought, the Moon Goddess, who had only been moving her mouth, suddenly raised her hands. Her lips no longer moved without making a sound, but instead emitted a strange and eerie syllable that Gu Ding could not understand at all.

"Although I don't understand it either, it seems she's preparing to unleash a powerful attack." The Sea Emperor's authority was still insufficient. He only knew a superficial understanding of the Ancient Myriad Races Ranking and the rankings. He didn't yet have enough authority to know the abilities and languages of each Ancient Exotic Beast.

The Flame Dragon appeared somewhat weak and turned its head to spew Five-Colored Flames at the Moon Goddess, attempting to interrupt her attack. However, all the flames were blocked by that thin membrane and did not affect the Moon Goddess in the slightest.

In the void, a blood-red moon slowly condensed into shape amidst the moon goddess's incomprehensible murmur. Gu Ding looked up at the sky, where the full moon, entirely blood-red, hung far away in the dim sky.

Suddenly, a beam of crimson light shone down from the blood moon, enveloping part of the Flame Dragon's body. Bound by black chains, the Flame Dragon had no chance of escape and could only helplessly endure the eerie Red Radiance shining upon it.

A moment later, Gu Ding discovered that the areas on the Flame Dragon's body illuminated by the Red Radiance were crystallizing at a visible speed. Moreover, the color of the crystals was not the original color of the Flame Dragon's body, but a blood red. Furthermore, the red crystals were spreading like a virus to other un-illuminated areas.

The fiery dragon struggled desperately, but to no avail.

In less than ten minutes, the fiery dragon, which was over 100,000 meters long, was completely crystallized and lost all its vitality.

"What terrifying power!" Gu Ding gasped.

"Gu Ding, summon the Demon Face, or you might perish here." The Sea Emperor noticed that Ye Mei was looking in the direction of Gu Ding.

"This move, 'Blood Moon Seal,' is something only I in the entire Dark Race can use. The concentration of bloodline factors in others isn't high enough to trigger the Moon Goddess to unleash such an attack," Ye Mei laughed at Gu Ding. "However, everyone who has seen this move is dead. Because this is my Trump Card, I can't let others know, so you must die today too! But you are truly strong. To show my respect for you, I've decided not to eat your flesh. I will use this strongest move to seal you away, and then keep the crystallized you as a permanent collection in my exhibition hall. However, I will also tell everyone that you are the number one demigod of the human race, for everyone to admire, so that your name will be known to the people of our Dark Race."

Ye Mei spoke casually, but the content was quite sensational. One wonders what kind of people he grew up with, as his mind was filled with thoughts of cannibalism and turning people into collectibles.

"You're getting too excited right now, aren't you? I haven't lost yet!" Gu Ding said, pursing his lips.

"You have even more powerful moves?!" Ye Mei was somewhat surprised by this remark. The true dragon that Gu Ding had summoned earlier was already quite strong. If she hadn't summoned the Moon Goddess, she wouldn't have been able to handle it at all.

"Of course!" Gu Ding was quite confident in the power of the Demon Face.

"Then quickly read it and show it to me!" Ye Mei shouted excitedly, still retaining a childlike temper.

"As you wish!"

Gu Ding closed his eyes. He wasn't worried about Ye Mei taking the opportunity to attack him. This guy was a battle maniac; if he encountered a good opponent, he would definitely squeeze every last drop of value out of them before killing them. And since he hadn't even used his strongest move yet, Ye Mei wouldn't kill him.

His consciousness slowly sank into the Soul Space. When he reappeared in the Soul Space, a small black dog was already in front of him wagging its tail.

"I need your help again..." Gu Ding squatted down and reached out to touch the puppy's head.

The puppy transformed into a wisp of black mist and once again entered Gu Ding's soul.

In the next instant, a black Demon Face materialized in the void above Gu Ding. The moment that Demon Face appeared, it was as if an unparalleled demon had descended upon the world. Its powerful aura spread outwards, causing the entire Miniature World to tremble. Even the already somewhat dim sky became even more gloomy.

Seeing the imposing presence of that Demon Face, Ye Mei was utterly shocked. He even sensed a faint fear emanating from the Moon Goddess. "Could this be Primordial Bloodline even more powerful than the Moon Goddess's?!"

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Ye Mei urged Moon Goddess to launch an attack. At his urging, the crimson moonlight poured down once more, shining towards the Demon Face.

Gu Ding himself wasn't quite sure if the Demon Face could withstand the "Blood Moon Seal." As the moonlight shone down, a thought popped into his head, "I wonder if I can shatter that moon?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, two blood-red glints flashed in the Demon Face's eyes. With a few crisp cracking sounds, several cracks appeared on the blood-red full moon hanging in the sky. The cracks spread rapidly, disintegrating the entire moon into hundreds of fragments.

A large black hand appeared out of nowhere, grabbed all the fragments, and then transformed into a cloud of black mist, carrying the fragments into the Demon Face's mouth.

The moon goddess that Ye Mei was playing with let out a miserable cry, its breath noticeably weakened.

But the Demon Face seemed unwilling to let her go, spitting out a Black Radiance that pierced through the moon goddess's body with lightning speed. The moon goddess, who had been so arrogant before the fire dragon, dimmed instantly, then slowly became transparent, until finally disintegrating completely into tiny particles and vanishing into the void...
