Flame Demon God Makes an Appearance

He stood in the air just like that, blood-red scales covering his entire body like armor.

His enormous flaming wings beat slowly and powerfully, while black Ink Spirit Flame swirled around him, dancing with delight.

His aura soared, shaking the entire scene!

Mysterious, domineering, majestic—what words could possibly describe him?

For the first time, his Flame Demon God transformation had revealed itself before other demons.

His needle-like crimson hair drifted behind him, fluttering without wind. His deep-blue eyes, as mysterious as a vast ocean, stared coldly at the stunned demons below!

At this moment, his aura was completely different from the demonic evilness he had displayed earlier.

Noble and mysterious, profound and ancient, unfathomable. It made one feel as if they were facing a god standing high above all else!

"What a despairing aura. So immense, darker than even the Abyss, like the purest, most primordial Primordial Core Will!"

Xierjie and the serpentfolk Slav stared despairingly at the terrifying demon floating silently in the sky, yet radiating boundless dominance.

"What should we do?"

"Run? Can we even escape?"

At this moment, Er Dongsheng, who had reappeared in a new form, crushed every shred of fighting spirit within the two demons with his abyss-like, ocean-deep aura.

"Run! No matter what, run now!"

Without a second thought, the two demons turned and fled at top speed. Er Dongsheng had truly scared them witless. Their minds held only one thought: run, run, run! Even one more second of escape would be better than nothing!

Watching the two fleeing little ants expressionlessly, Er Dongsheng suddenly tilted his head and pondered for a moment.

He raised his right claw, curling its five fingers slightly. After pausing for a moment, a ping-pong-ball-sized sphere of light instantly gathered in his palm, rapidly expanding larger and larger. In the end, a gigantic fireball over two meters in diameter appeared before Er Dongsheng's chest!

He looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.

One finger of his right claw tapped lightly. In an instant, the enormous fireball vanished from the air, followed by...

Boom!

A heaven-shaking explosion thundered from not far ahead. A small mushroom cloud slowly rose, dazzling in every direction.

That was the direction in which the two demons had fled...

After the explosion came a violent blast of air. Grass and trees flew everywhere, flowers and leaves withered, fruit scattered in all directions, and the little Succubus was blown this way and that!

The little one stared blankly at her domineering and majestic brother in the sky. Though his appearance was somewhat unfamiliar now, he was definitely her brother.

Although the little girl did not understand how her brother, who had originally vanished within the huge fireball, had suddenly appeared in the sky, that did not stop her from suddenly becoming happy!

"Brother, Brother!"

Forgetting everything else, she got to her feet and staggered toward Er Dongsheng.

Just as Er Dongsheng was about to step forward and confirm whether those two reckless little ants had met God, he heard the little one calling him. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and descended, scooping up the little one running toward him!

Forget it. They were only two ants. If they ran, they ran! Surely they would not dare come provoke me again! Er Dongsheng thought.

"Giggle!"

The little one wrapped her arms around Er Dongsheng's neck affectionately. Her large eyes curiously examined his new appearance as she touched the broad, massive scales of his breastplate. Her little hand even knocked against the scales several times, utterly fascinated!

Children forgot things quickly. After Er Dongsheng maintained this form and took her for several laps through the sky, swooping and soaring a few times, she completely forgot what had happened earlier!

During that time, Er Dongsheng took the little one to look at the place he had attacked earlier. A huge crater had appeared there, and many branches on the surrounding trees had snapped. Their trunks were charred black as well. The power of that skill truly had not been small!

Unfortunately, they did not find the two demons' remains. He did not know whether they had died so thoroughly that not even bones remained, or whether they had escaped! Er Dongsheng felt the latter was more likely. After all, what demon did not have a few life-saving tricks up their sleeve?

There were some unexpected gains, though!

The little girl beamed as she dragged a nearly shattered scimitar from a patch of burned grass! She understood perfectly well that metal was severely scarce in the Abyss, countless times more precious than food—equivalent to the gold currency of Er Dongsheng's previous life.

The hard currency in Abyss transactions was metal!

"Though it's damaged, when we get back, I can make you a little round shield and a little metal bow with arrows. With those, little girl, you'll be able to hunt small prey on your own in the future!" The little Succubus nodded repeatedly, so delighted that her big eyes squeezed into narrow crescents while her pointed ears fluttered excitedly.

After returning to camp, Er Dongsheng planned to rest for a while before setting out. Those two demons had disturbed his sleep, and now even the little Succubus did not want to sleep anymore!

Sitting on the ground, Er Dongsheng recalled what had happened earlier and suddenly felt that he still understood far too little about the Talent System within him!

It seems that once I return and have some free time, I must study it properly!

A warrior's greatest taboo was losing control of oneself. Those who practiced martial arts had to deeply understand every change within their bodies at every moment! Energy absorption, the circulation of essence and qi—these all rested upon a strict understanding of oneself! Thus, a warrior could ignore anything else, but must possess absolute control over himself!

He stretched out his hand, slightly curling his five claws. With a thought, a tiny sphere of light appeared before his eyes. Then, when he relaxed his thoughts, the sphere dispersed. When he focused again, it flashed into existence once more!

As his will continued to reinforce it, the fireball in his hand grew larger and larger, eventually reaching the size of a basketball.

Er Dongsheng touched it with his other hand. The sphere formed from crimson flames felt warm, without much heat to it. Yet when he saw the grass, trees, and leaves around him withering, he understood just how terrifyingly high its true temperature was!

Ever since arriving in this world, he had vaguely felt that this body possessed an inexplicable fondness for flames and extremely high resistance to fire! But now, it seemed this ability had been greatly underestimated!

Thinking of what had happened earlier, Er Dongsheng's expression turned as sour as constipation.

He had originally been having fun, only to receive a solid lesson. He had been struck by the long-range ultimate attack of the serpent demon Slav—let's call it a giant fireball! He had thought that even if he did not die, he would at least be half-crippled, but he had never expected...

He never expected those flames to be unable to harm him in the slightest, and the Abyss System had even absorbed part of the flames, generating a new skill!

Shaking his head, Er Dongsheng casually tossed the fireball in his hand into the distance.

Boom! Another burst of chaos erupted.

"Ah!"

The little Succubus, who was packing up their things, was badly startled. She fell flat onto her backside, rubbed her little bottom, then snorted angrily at her culprit of a brother!

She glared at him fiercely, then rolled her eyes!

...Awkward...

He had been so absorbed in thought that he forgot about this little ancestor!

Sigh, this useless hand—why had he casually thrown that thing out!

"I'm telling you, little sister, your brother didn't do it on purpose, you..."

"Humph!"

"I don't believe you!"

...Dizzy...
