“O Great God Meng Lei! W-what exactly is going on?”
“Have extraterrestrial demons descended upon us?”
“Please watch over us, Great God Meng Lei! Please watch over us...”
The people were terrified out of their wits. Filled with fear and unease, they hastily started to pray piously.
“Something terrible has happened!”
Sacas’ expression changed drastically. It transformed into a beam of light that shot toward the Meng Lei Empire. Thaniel, Nadja, and the others also did the same.
Roar!
A loud and sonorous dragon roar rang out. The people looked up and turned their gazes to the direction from which the roar came. At once, they saw a terrifying, savage-looking dragon head emerge from within the black hole.
It was then followed by its body, wings, tail...
It was a Dark Demonic Dragon that measured more than 1,000,000-feet-long. Pitch-black all over and incredibly savage-looking, it gave off a demonic aura that reached all the way into the heavens.
“A Colossal Dragon! It’s a Colossal Dragon!”
“Oh my god! The Colossal Dragons are back!”
“The Colossal Dragons have made a comeback...”
The Dragon God Empire had only just been overthrown not too long ago, so the people’s faith in the Dragon God hadn’t yet completely dispersed. How could they possibly have forgotten about the nefarious Colossal Dragons?
For a moment, hate, fury, fear, and various other negative emotions swept through Heaven’s Vault Continent, and the people sank into great fear and panic.
Roar!
“What fearsome demonic might! That’s a Dark Demonic Dragon! Boss was right on the mark after all!”
Sacas moved at high speed while keeping his gaze fixed on the Dark Demonic Dragon that had emerged from the black hole. It scoffed, “Do they think they can make trouble here with just one intermediate deity-level Dark Demonic Dragon, though? They are practically just courting deat—”
Roar!
Just as Sacas was sneering, another huge and savage-looking head that also gave off great demonic might popped out of the black hole.
Its body... measured 1,000,000-feet-long, too!
“Another Dark Demonic Dragon?!” Sacas’ heart sank a little. “It’s alright. Boss is the master of the existential plane. So what even if there are two intermediate deities?”
Roar!
It was just a shame that following the second Dark Demonic Dragon, more of them also started to emerge one after another. As though they had opened Pandora’s box, there was no end to them at all.
In under a minute, 50 Dark Demonic Dragons had emerged from the black hole. Every one of them was 1,000,000-feet-long and emanated overwhelming demonic might.
Sacas was completely unnerved this time. A hint of shock and horror surfaced in its eyes as it exclaimed, “Damn it! Why are there so many Dark Demonic Dragons? Where did they come from?”
No one answered Sacas, however.
No one answered Thaniel and the others, too.
No one answered the masses, either!
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
50 Dark Demonic Dragons circled about high up in the sky as they roared furiously into the sky. Their earth-shattering roars were as though thousands upon thousands of horses neighing simultaneously or thousands upon thousands of cannons exploding.
Boom!!
Roiling sound waves haphazardly mixed together and formed an earth-shattering energy wave that exploded with a deafening boom. The dimension broke and splintered into numerous viscous masses.
In a split second, the azure-blue skies turned into pitch-black hell as several horrifying space-time rifts flickered and appeared. It was as though doomsday had come.
Chapter 310: A Must-Have, Daydream

“So many Demon Gods!”
In a hidden dimension within Heaven’s Vault Continent, an enormous figure gazed upon the black hole and the 50 Dark Demonic Dragons with an ugly look.
“Where did they come from?”
This figure was the previous religion of the Beast People Empire—the Beast God. At this moment, however, a deeply confused look took over his gloomy face.
50 Demon Gods!
That was a force that could wreak havoc across countless existential planes, disintegrate any deity alliances, and conquer massive territories!
The question was—why would this force descend upon Heaven’s Vault Continent? What were they plotting?
“Heaven’s Vault Continent is just a normal low-end existential plane. How is it possible that it could attract so many Demon Gods here?”
The Beast God did not understand. “A secret! There must be some secret in Heaven’s Vault Continent!”
Whoosh!
A figure appeared quietly. It wore golden armor and was incredibly muscular—it was one of the four great true gods of Heaven’s Vault Continent, the Titan Spiritual God!
“Kronos, you couldn’t sit still either?”
The Beast God took a glance at the Titan Spiritual God.
“Haylen, do you know why these Demon Gods have descended here?” asked the Titan Spiritual God.
The Beast God shook his head. “I can’t tell yet!”
“50 Demon Gods, such an enormous scale!”
The Titan Spiritual God frowned deeply. “What purpose could they possibly have?”
Just as both deities were puzzled, two skinnier figures came out of the black hole and descended upon Heaven’s Vault Continent.
Upon seeing these two, both deities’ expressions changed.
“Helibos!”
“Why him?”
They did not know the other figure, but they would definitely recognize another one of the four great true gods of Heaven’s Vault Continent, the Dragon God, Helibos Haber!
“These Demon Gods are brought here by the Dragon God?”
“It seems so!”
“I don’t understand. Where did the Dragon God find so many experts? Wasn’t he the weakest and had the least influence among the four of us?”
“I’m not sure! I guess we’ll see!”
...
“Master!”
50 Dark Demonic Dragons lowered their heads and bowed respectfully.
“Rise, everyone!” A middle-aged man in black robes said lightly and looked toward the Dragon God. “Helibos, I hope you did not deceive me!”
“You need not worry, teacher!” The Dragon God promised. “That rascal who snatched the Tower of Time away is right here in this existential plane. Let me call him out, and the rest will be decided by you, my teacher!”
“Very well, go then!”
The middle-aged man in black robes nodded slightly.
“Uno, Dos, both of you shall follow Helibos.”
“Yes, Master!”
The two Dark Demonic Dragons nodded their heads.
“Please wait for a moment, my teacher!”
The Dragon God bowed slightly before bringing Uno and Dos toward the Meng Lei Empire.
The middle-aged man in black robes watched the three dragons’ back as a hint of greed flashed across his eyes. No one knew the true value of the Tower of Time better than him, and no-one desired to obtain it more than him!
The Tower of Time—the rumored time divine weapon!
It was created by the great God of Time, the only one that had comprehended the laws of time in the vast and boundless universe. It was said that there were not just his lifelong riches in the tower, but there were also his cultivation methods for the laws of time and even a high-end existential plane seed!
Any of the three would make countless deities envious, not to mention all three together!
Hence, the moment there was news of the Tower of Time, the middle-aged man in black robes came here. He would rather believe it to be true than not since if the Tower of Time was indeed here, he would strike the jackpot!
“The Tower of Time, I must have it!”
...
“You lowly cheap piece of trash, I’ll see how you die this time!”
The Dragon God was excited as he was eager to see Meng Lei. “I won’t let you get something that I could not get myself!”
The three of them flew at high speed and reached the sky above the Meng Lei Empire Palace.
The landing of the three dragons, especially the two Dark Demonic Dragons, created a huge ruckus that terrified Imperial City’s citizens.
They wanted to run, but under the suppression of the demonic might, it was difficult to stand, not to mention running away. All they could do was pray.
“Please watch over us, our Great God Meng Lei!”
“Oh Great God Meng Lei, I pray for my safety, I pray for my family’s safety, I pray for my wife’s family’s safety. As long as you bless me, I’m willing to do anything...”
“Come out and face your death at once, knave!” The Dragon God roared, and like deafening claps of thunder, it blasted into the people’s ears. Their minds buzzed, and they were petrified once more.
“You audacious heretic, how dare you to act so atrociously here!”
A figure soared up into the sky with an angry roar and glared at the Dragon God and the two Dark Demonic Dragons as he emitted divine might.
It was Puhaman!
As the Meng Lei Empire Army’s absolute authority, Puhaman’s prestige in the empire was the highest, excluding Meng Lei. His appearance had an immediate effect as the people were relieved to see him.
“Yes! It’s Lord Puhaman!”
The people looked on with their hopeful eyes at Puhaman.
It was a pity, though...
“Who is this lowly worm that dares to bark in front of me?”
Uno bellowed as it slapped its enormous dragon claws at such a high speed that Puhaman could not evade at all, striking him hard.
“Ugh!”
Puhaman was like a meteorite plummeting faster than when he arrived as he crashed into a palace that was reduced to rubble.
“Argh!!”
Puhaman spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that his bones were shattered, and his organs were badly injured.
“Little worm, you think too highly of yourself!”
The Dragon God could not help but sneer. “Meng Lei, you knave, don’t think that you can escape death by hiding in your palace. I’ll tell you that’s daydreaming!
“If you know what’s good for you, follow me to meet my teacher at once. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a terrible death!”
“Why so troublesome?” Uno bellowed as he spat a black dragon’s breath toward the imperial palace. The breath was filled with endless destructive power that could ravage anything in the world.
If there were no miracles, the entire imperial palace would be reduced to rubbles. Everyone inside and even the city would be turned into ashes.
“It’s all over!”
Watching the terrifying dragon’s breath descending from the sky, the people were in utter despair. At that moment, a cold voice rang abruptly, as if it rang in everyone’s heart. “Absolute Zero!”
Buzz...
A golden cold fog met the black dragon’s breath. Once they met, the black dragon’s breath started to freeze into a thick icicle.
The icicle then broke into ice chips.
“We’re saved!”
The people were immensely relieved, as though they had just been to hell and back. Right then, a figure rose into the sky slowly and appeared above the imperial palace.
“Great God Meng Lei!”
“It’s Great God Meng Lei!”
“He saved us!”
The people wept tears of joy.
“Well, well, well, Dragon God. You’re not hiding in your divine nation to live the rest of your miserable life, and you dare come out with a death wish?” Meng Lei surveyed the Dragon God and the two Dark Demonic Dragons.
“You cheap piece of trash! still so stubborn even when death is knocking on your door!” The Dragon God grinned. “Today, I won’t just kill you. I’ll take everything that you took from me back!”
“That will depend on whether you’re capable!”
Meng Lei scoffed.
“Dodola, lock onto this divinity projection of the Dragon God and find his divine nation. I’ll finish this stinky bug off completely!”
“As long as there’s a divinity projection, everything’s a-okay!”
Chapter 311: Thundering Fury, Headshot With One Punch
“That cheap, lowly human is doomed! With that many Demon Gods there, they’ll definitely rip him into shreds!
“In comparison, I’m more concerned about those people. Where exactly are they from? And why are they willing to work for Helibos?”
The Beast God and the Titan Spiritual God stood proudly in the sky as they kept a close watch on the Dragon God and the others’ movements. The more attention they paid to them, the more questions arose in their minds.
Where did that many Dark Demonic Dragons come from?
Why were they willing to help the Dragon God?
What was their purpose in coming to Heaven’s Vault Continent?
“Both you and I know that Helibos has always been alone. Although he’s technically a member of the Colossal Dragon Gods, he’s not valued at all.”
The Titan Spiritual God mused aloud in a low voice, “But he’s suddenly recruited so many powerhouses this time. This doesn’t make sense at all! Could it be that Helibos has also had a similar encounter like mine whereby the Colossal Dragon Gods suddenly attached importance to him and bestowed upon him a group of subordinates?”
The Beast God let out a derisive laugh and replied, “Look at how Helibos is bending all over for them. Does he even look like their master?”
The Titan Spiritual God shook his head slightly. Given Helibos’ exceptionally respectful attitude toward that black-robed middle-aged man, the duo’s statuses were self-evident—Helibos looked more like the other man’s subordinate instead.
“Since they aren’t his subordinates, why have they descended upon Heaven’s Vault Continent? Are they just here to seek revenge on Helibos’ behalf?” asked the Titan Spiritual God.
“No way!”
The Beast God’s eyes flickered with a shrewd gleam. He said, “There’s no point in doing things that don’t benefit you. This is especially true for deities like us. Who would do things that don’t benefit them? Something fishy must be going on!”
“You mean...”
The Titan Spiritual God’s brows drew together slightly.
“I have a bold conjecture. Meng Lei must be hiding some kind of astounding secret on him, and those people are here for that secret!”
The Beast God spoke in a low and deep voice, the fury in his voice barely concealable. He had suddenly realized that he might have been duped. The Dragon God had claimed that he wanted to seek revenge on Meng Lei during the last time the Dragon God had come to him to exchange for the devil contract.
However, it was only now that the Beast God realized that it was clearly because Helibos had been coveting the huge secret on Meng Lei that he had risked his life to approach him.
Revenge?
It was nothing more than just an excuse!
“An astounding secret?”
The Titan Spiritual God’s pupils contracted sharply. He exclaimed, “Now that you mention it, I think that’s highly likely the case. Otherwise, how can a human like him possibly cultivate so quickly?”
“I get it now! I finally get it now!” The Titan Spiritual God gnashed his teeth in fury as he said, “That damned Helibos! He clearly knew that secret, yet he kept it from both of us and told those people instead!”
“It’s too late to say anything now.”
The Beast God said with a sigh, “Judging from how big a fuss those people are making, they are clearly hell-bent on getting it. What can we do even if we know that Meng Lei’s hiding a secret?”
“Damn it!”
...
100,000 feet was roughly equivalent to 300 kilometers.
A 300-kilometer-long body! One could imagine just how enormous the two Dark Demonic Dragons were.
They spanned across the sky above the imperial palace like two undulating mountain ranges suspended above the people, forming a dark mass that practically blotted out the sun.
Dark Demonic Dragon Uno asked in a deep roar, “Helibos, is he that person that Master is looking for?”
“Yes, he’s my teacher’s target!”
The Dragon God nodded slightly. Then, he gave them a kind warning and said, “But you mustn’t let down your guard. Although that renegade is certainly hateful, his strength is not to be underestimated.”
“How strong can a native deity of a low-end existential plane be? I can swallow him whole in one gulp!”
Dragon Uno let out a derisive laugh and roared, “Human deity if you know what’s good for you, come with me obediently to meet my master. Otherwise, I don’t mind ripping you into shreds!”
“You sure talk big.” Meng Lei held his hands behind his back as he said, “The grass growing at the grave of the last Dark Demonic Dragon that had dared to act so arrogantly in front of me has already grown dozens of meters tall.”
“How presumptuous!”
Dragon Uno raised its claw that measured dozens of kilometers wide and smacked it down forcefully. The claw gleamed coldly in the light as it smashed down at Meng Lei.
Compared to the mountain-sized claw, Meng Lei was as though an insignificant little ant.
“Long live the Great God Meng Lei!”
“The Great God Meng Lei is unbeatable!”
“The Great God Meng Lei is the strongest!”
“Great God Meng Lei, I’m cheering for you!”
The Imperial City’s citizens’ hearts leaped into their mouths. All of them prayed for Meng Lei amid their own unease.
“You think too highly of yourself.”
Meng Lei gave a shake of his head as he watched the gigantic claw crashing down upon him. As though an inflating balloon, his divine body started to expand, instantly reaching a height of 100,000 feet.
Then, he clenched his right hand into a fist and met the gigantic claw smacking him with it.
Crack!
As though Mars were crashing into Earth, violent shockwaves exploded into the surroundings together with a terrifying, earth-shattering boom. The dimension broke instantly.
