Gu Ding's Fall

Fogreitai showed no fear of the defensive Main God Artifact on Dora. As Lord-level powerhouse, he knew very well that with the Combat Strength of a god, Dora couldn't unleash the full power of the Main God Artifact; at most, it could only be used for passive defense.

Each time the Main God Artifact is activated, even passively, it draws a large amount of energy from the opponent's body. Fogreitai knew that if he continued attacking beyond the opponent's defensive limits, the Main God Artifact would automatically activate to defend. This meant the opponent's energy consumption rate would be dozens or even hundreds of times faster than his own. After only a few attacks, the opponent would be completely Combat Strength.

Moreover, and most importantly, Dora's Combat Strength can only be barely considered that of Advanced Sequence Celestial, and compared to Fogreitai's current Combat Strength, they are not even in the same league. In a head-on confrontation, the outcome would be a foregone conclusion.

After just one encounter, Fogreitai knew his opponent's true strength and weaknesses.

Dora was well aware that the opponent she was facing this time was stronger than ever before. She was also very clear about her weaknesses. With the Main God Artifact in hand, the opponent could not kill her in a short time, but if she was left with no time, her divine power would be exhausted and she would be at the mercy of the opponent.

Just as Dora was wondering what to do, an aura entered her detection range, and she finally felt a little relieved because the aura came from an acquaintance, and a Combat Strength one at that.

Fogreitai naturally sensed the presence of that aura as well. "That White-Clothed Kid is with you, isn't he? But whether you can hold out until he gets here is still unknown."

Fogreitai said. He launched another attack on Dora. With a wave of his arms, white flames erupted instantly, covering the entire void like a tidal wave and sweeping towards the direction where Dora and Gu Ding were.

Not only Gu Ding, but even Dora felt a sense of powerlessness upon seeing the white sea of fire. She knew from the beginning that her Combat Strength was inferior to her opponent's, but she hadn't expected the gap to be so vast.

The white wave, tens of thousands of meters high, rushed directly towards the two of them. Gu Ding knew very well that with his current cultivation level, if he were swept into this wave, he would probably be instantly reduced to ashes. Dora also knew that if she didn't defend against an attack of this magnitude, she would be severely injured even if she didn't die. Without hesitation, she activated her defensive Main God Artifact again.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound rang out, the sound of white flames crashing against the protective shield generated by the defensive Main God Artifact.

As expected of Main God Artifact, it directly unleashed a counterforce, completely shattering the white wave.

But this was only the first wave of attacks. Fogreitai grinned, "The waves of the ocean are endless. I'd like to see how long you can hold out, and whether you can hold out until that white-clad kid comes to your rescue."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ding saw that from the ocean of white flames that had been gathering, another enormous wave of fire was sweeping towards them. This wave was no less powerful than the first one.

Dora's expression turned slightly grim. Just by looking at her opponent's chosen attack strategy, she knew that her opponent was fully aware of her weaknesses. Using the Main God Artifact consumed far too much of her internal energy; every time she activated the defensive function of the shield on her wrist, she could clearly feel the energy within her body flowing out rapidly as if being poured out.

With a "boom", the white flames and waves dissipated once again.

But soon, a third wave of fire swept in again...

Dora's expression grew increasingly grim.

Fogreitai's attacks, however, seemed relentless. Waves of fire were blocked by the defenses, only to be met with wave after wave of fire that kept crashing down upon them.

After more than ten waves of attacks, Dora's energy was severely depleted, and she grew increasingly anxious. "Why hasn't Boyi arrived yet?!"

"You're quite resilient; the divine energy within you hasn't been exhausted yet." Fogreitai knew that even if Dora could continue to endure, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Hmph, when Boyi arrives, he'll definitely teach you a lesson for me!" Dora shouted at Fogreitai.

"You mean that kid in the white shirt? Do you think he can get here before you perish?" Fogreitai had already calculated that, given Boyi's current movement speed, it would take him enough time to unleash more than thirty waves of fire. This little girl, however, had no chance of surviving that long.

Waves of fire continued to crash down upon her, while Dora, who had been on the defensive, was deteriorating, and the defensive barrier she had built was shrinking. Her divine energy was almost completely depleted; with each wave of fire, she had to frantically push her body to its limits. After several such attacks, she was not only physically and mentally exhausted, but also felt a profound sense of collapse.

As another wave of fire swept in, Dora felt a sense of powerlessness. She turned to look at Gu Ding not far away and said with a bitter smile, "My divine energy is exhausted. I can't stop this attack. It seems we're going to perish together today. But, Boyi will surely avenge us!"

Even in her dying moments, Dora still believed in Boyi's abilities.

The wave of fire engulfed the two of them in an instant. Dora slowly closed her eyes, Gu Ding frowned slightly. For the first time, he clearly felt death so close to him.

Without the defensive capabilities of the Main God Artifact, the two figures were instantly engulfed in the white flames by the waves.

After Dora was caught in the fire, she struggled desperately in the sea of flames. Her body was constantly burned by the flames, but with the Main God Artifact protecting her body, she only suffered some superficial injuries and would not perish.

The moment Gu Ding was engulfed, he felt an excruciating pain, but in the next instant, his body was completely disintegrated by the flames, turning into specks that drifted away in all directions.

"Gu Ding!" Upon seeing this, the Sea Emperor was stunned for a moment and immediately checked Gu Ding's vital signs, but the result was shocking.

"Host dead! Identity binding with host severed..."

"Gu Ding, really perished?!" The Sea Emperor could hardly believe it. Although he had personally witnessed Gu Ding dissipate into energy particles in the flames, and his detection system showed no trace of Gu Ding's existence, even his bond with Gu Ding had been automatically broken. "How could this be..."

"Gu Ding!" Boyi, who had rushed over from afar, witnessed Gu Ding transform into energy particles, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing. (To be continued~^~)
