Golden Dragon Spear and Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon True Form

Chen Zidian let out a thunderous roar, then began chanting an incantation under his breath. He raised the greatsword in his hand, and countless golden lights burst from his body, transforming into rings of golden halos that settled around the other eleven.

Guardian Knight support skill, Aura of Faith.

Facing a terrifying powerhouse like the Demon God Emperor, it was impossible for them to feel no fear or nervousness at all. The Aura of Faith could transform their anxiety into resolve.

Although Chen Zidian and the others had yet to formally make a move against Feng Xiu, the two sides had already engaged in a psychological contest.

Feng Xiu coldly watched Chen Zidian and the others as they braced themselves for battle. His expression was grim, but his heart was no longer calm.

Even against an army of thousands, when had Feng Xiu ever been afraid?

Yet this time, Feng Xiu was afraid. He was not afraid of Chen Zidian and the others—he was afraid that he would never see Bai Lingxuan again.

In the original story, after Bai Lingxuan parted from him, she had waited for him at the Priest Temple, waiting for him to come and propose because she was already pregnant. Yet out of shyness, she had not told Feng Xiu.

Bai Lingxuan waited for Feng Xiu for over a year, but he never appeared.

Of course Feng Xiu had wanted to find Bai Lingxuan, but he could not, because he had already been severely injured and had no choice but to recuperate in the Demon Emperor Palace.

Feng Xiu had been severely injured because he had encountered attacks from the Demon God's Fall and Demon Slayer Demon Hunt Squads in the forest.

As the Demon God Emperor and the emperor of the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan, Feng Xiu had responsibilities and a mission he had no choice but to bear. With his own injuries so severe, he could not risk infiltrating the Temple Alliance.

Thus, their parting at Southern Town Pass had become Feng Xiu and Bai Lingxuan's final farewell.

Now that he had been given a chance to start over, Feng Xiu naturally did not want such a thing to happen again.

If Feng Xiu had been at his peak, dealing with Chen Zidian and the others would have been effortless. But in order to conceal his aura, he had planted a seal within his body. At present, he could only wield forty percent of his peak strength. Moreover, his Demon God Pillar was not by his side.

Despite all these restrictions, Feng Xiu at this moment was no longer the Feng Xiu of the past.

A golden gleam flashed in Feng Xiu's right hand, then transformed into a long spear. The spear was entirely golden, seven feet two inches long. Its spearhead measured eight inches, with a sideways-protruding dragon-shaped barb beneath it. The shaft was six feet long and over three inches thick.

With the Golden Dragon Spear in hand, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within Feng Xiu began to stir, flowing faster through his body as vast power spread throughout him.

Feng Xiu threw back his head and roared. A long dragon's cry resounded through the entire forest, and with that soaring cry, a layer of deep purple radiance mixed with gold suddenly spread from his body, forcing Chen Zidian and the others to retreat once more.

Feng Xiu's body rapidly expanded, soon exceeding twenty meters from head to tail. At the same time, countless purple-gold scales covered him like armor. Massive wings spread from his back, his limbs transformed into dragon claws, and a purple-black horn over a meter long grew from the top of his head.

This was Feng Xiu's Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon True Form, and one possessing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline!

A terrifying aura instantly swept across the entire forest. Every bird and beast within it bled from their seven orifices and died.

Feng Xiu stepped forward. His azure eyes lit up with dazzling dark-gold brilliance, while the black hair behind him transformed into a disk like an Eclipse. His luxurious robe fluttered despite the lack of wind.

The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand blazed brightly. Feng Xiu thrust it forward, and a dark-gold giant dragon, accompanied by waves of dragon roars, charged straight toward the Demon God's Fall Demon Hunt Squad. Then Feng Xiu swung back with another spear strike, sending an identical dark-gold giant dragon at the six members of the Demon Slayer Demon Hunt Squad.

The Demon God's Fall Demon Hunt Squad and the Demon Slayer Demon Hunt Squad joined forces to block the attacks. Intense elemental fluctuations erupted from their bodies, and no one dared to be careless.

Boom—

Amid the fierce collision between both sides, a vast stretch of forest was annihilated, as though even the earth were trembling.

Two enormous craters appeared to Feng Xiu's left and right. Feng Xiu remained surrounded by the twelve of them, but their expressions were no longer as calm as before.

Chen Zidian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with shock.

They had all fought the Demon God Emperor before, but they had never seen such methods from him. The spear in the Demon God Emperor's hand was at least a Divine Artifact.

Just how many trump cards did the Demon God Emperor possess?

Chen Zidian gave a meaningful look to the woman beside him in golden mage robes. She immediately understood, then looked toward the female Divine Level Mage in the opposing Demon Slayer Demon Hunt Squad.

The two Mages gripped their staffs and began chanting incantations at the same time. Meanwhile, the other ten members of the two Demon Hunt Squads attacked Feng Xiu simultaneously.

Feng Xiu narrowed his eyes. The reason he had been severely injured by these two Demon Hunt Squads before was because of the Forbidden Curse jointly cast by these two Mages.

On the Holy Demon Continent, all Ninth Tier spells were collectively known as Forbidden Curses. On the battlefield, Mages had always possessed the greatest destructive power because they could draw upon the power of heaven and earth to unleash unparalleled might—the prerequisite being that they could complete their incantations.

However, not every Ninth Tier powerhouse could use a Forbidden Curse. Even some powerful Ninth Tier experts with cultivation exceeding two hundred thousand spiritual energy might not possess the ability to cast one.

To cast a Forbidden Curse, the caster not only needed powerful elemental affinity, but also needed to possess the incantation and be able to complete it.

These two Mages clearly possessed the incantation, but could not complete it independently, which was why they needed to cast it together. The power of a Forbidden Curse jointly cast by two Divine Level Mages was self-evident.

If Feng Xiu had been at his peak, he could have used spatial traversal to teleport before the Mages and forcibly interrupt their casting. But with his cultivation currently sealed, Feng Xiu could not do so.

The only way to break the deadlock was to quickly free himself from the entanglement of the ten and interrupt the casting of the two Mages.

A fierce glint flashed through Feng Xiu's eyes. Purple-black flames erupted from his entire body, and the air around him twisted violently, actually isolating all attacks from Chen Zidian and the others for the moment.

Terrifying purple-black light suddenly blossomed outward, blasting Chen Zidian and the others away. Feng Xiu spread his wings and shot toward the Mage from the Demon God's Fall Demon Hunt Squad like a meteor chasing the moon.

"Watch out!" Chen Zidian shouted.

The moment Chen Zidian finished speaking, Feng Xiu had already arrived before the Mage with spear in hand. The Golden Dragon Spear fiercely thrust toward the Mage's chest.

Although Mages possessed extremely powerful destructive force, once an enemy closed in, their frail bodies faced immense danger to their lives.

A flash of white light appeared on Chen Zidian's chest. Like an invisible lasso, it instantly bound Feng Xiu.

Saint Attraction Spirit Furnace, Attraction!

Chen Zidian attempted to use the Saint Attraction Spirit Furnace's pulling force to drag Feng Xiu back. Divine Level Mages possessed certain means of self-preservation. As long as he could buy the Mage enough time, Chen Zidian believed she would be able to use a life-saving method to escape Feng Xiu's attack range.
