Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 756 - 143 Escape
The few silhouettes within the half-plane suddenly vanished from the War God's perception.
That sensation,
was like prey he was certain to catch disappearing right under his eyes.
[Heretic, damn it!]
He was momentarily stunned,
and then erupted in anger.
The immense power twisted the stars, terrifying divine radiance descended, and the entire shell of the half-plane collapsed and shattered in layers, collapsing into fragments, with frightening cracks spreading like a spider's web across the sky and earth, extending throughout the half-plane!
Rumble!!!
A mighty power exploded, vast Holy Light surged like a tsunami, causing the half-plane to collapse inch by inch,
under the mighty impact of the Divine power,
the entire plane unexpectedly collapsed and shattered in that moment!
Beyond the endless dark chaos,
at the moment the half-plane shattered, the eternally pitch-black chaos burst into a rare and spectacular display, like fireworks!
[Is it the Gate of Truth... It seems like it's really in that Blue Dragon's hands, then...]
Overwhelmed by anger for just a moment,
the God of War and Victory quickly regained composure, pondering silently in his heart.
The vast Holy Light obscured his face, leaving no clue as to the calculations simmering within his heart.
A few breaths later, 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
he gazed at the half-plane that was exploding, blooming like fireworks in the dark chaos.
Thinking for a moment,
he reached his palm downward,
instantly, infinite radiance emitted, illuminating the pitch-black darkness, completely enveloping the exploding half-plane.
The power of time began to reverse,
like a backward playing movie,
the vast "fireworks" started to slowly retract inward like a waterfall, the great power of time forcefully gathering the exploding half-plane back, and within a moment, the entire half-plane was restored to its original state.
Everything appeared unchanged,
except that Austin and a few others had vanished without a trace.
[A half-plane, huh, not bad...]
Outside the dark chaos, the War God pointed toward the half-plane below.
Swish!
Circles of golden Holy Light ripples spread out, like ripples on a calm water surface, extending infinitely, eventually encompassing the entire half-plane.
In the dark chaos, a piece of illusory golden mirror appeared,
reflecting the entire half-plane within.
Simultaneously,
massive golden chains extended from the golden mirror, clashing with clinking sounds, crossing the sky like dragons. In the crisp and pleasant sound, the terrifying chains pierced through the entire plane.
Rumble!!!
An immensely powerful force erupted,
the half-plane floating in the chaos was thereby drawn by massive golden chains, moving slowly toward the golden mirror.
Under the chains' guidance,
a plane moved toward the golden mirror!
If anyone witnessed this scene, they'd probably be shocked to death on the spot!
Gurgle! Gurgle!
As the half-plane collided with the enormous golden mirror, rings of visible golden light rippled out,
subsequently,
the half-plane was swallowed entirely by the mirror!
Leaving not a trace behind.
Swish!
Until the entire half-plane was devoured by the War God's Divine Kingdom projection, the surroundings returned to the prior pitch-black chaos, devoid of any light.
After devouring an entire half-plane,
the War God didn't linger,
the chaotic void rippled for a moment, then he disappeared.
However,
what the War God didn't notice was,
inside the devoured half-plane, in a palace, one corpse had a strange black light flash in its eyes...
...
Meanwhile,
in Austin's lair within the Blue Dragon Kingdom Main City.
Buzz!
A rift opened in the void, revealing a visible portal of light.
Austin's avatar walked out, along with Princess Sarah and the old King.
"Escaped, we escaped..."
At this moment,
terror couldn't be concealed in Princess Sarah and the old King's eyes, their legs trembled, nearly collapsing to the ground.
So terrifying!
That godly descent's terrifying might,
like an abyss, like a prison, like ground, like sky!
Recollecting that moment, they felt like ants, their Heart Spirit plunging into a boundless dark abyss, on the verge of being crushed to pieces under that dreadful divine might!
Terrifying!
Even now, their legs were still weak.
Fortunately, they finally escaped disaster.
"You two rest first, this is my domain, come to me if there's anything.".
Austin waved a hand,
and the guards outside appeared.
"Alright, thank you, Your Highness."
Said the still-frightened old King, thanking Austin and following the guards away.
Though many questions lingered in their hearts,
it clearly wasn't the time for conversation with their minds unsettled.
"I still need the Golden Book, Respected Lord Tirra, perhaps you could stay here for a while?"
Facing the remnant soul of Tirra beside him, Austin said aloud.
This remnant soul, though having endured since eight thousand years ago, had lost many memories, yet retained numerous secrets unknown to Austin.
"In some days, with the Blood and Flesh Derivation Technique, I'll craft a new body for you, enabling a new life."
Upon hearing these words,
Tirra's remnant soul trembled greatly, eyes widening in disbelief.
Even earlier, when the Divine descended, he wasn't this shocked.
Yet,
being a being surviving for countless years, he quickly regained composure, suppressing the turmoil within:
"Can such a remnant soul really be resurrected?"
The voice,
was a bit shaky.
Perhaps, eight thousand years ago, the true Seven Ancient Sages were individuals unafraid of death.
But now, only a fragment of soul remained, with much of the pre-death memory already dissipated.
After traversing countless years of dark times, much of the original memory was eroded, with some new elements added, even differing significantly from the original Tirra entity.
Though emerged from Tirra's essence, this soul shard after such a prolonged period couldn't entirely represent the Seven Sages of old.
Within this soul, the instinct to survive still existed.
"Yes, I possess a Secret Technique of Possessive Rebirth, just as if the body is originally one's own."
In this world,
there is no concept like possession or rebirth as found in Eastern Xianxia culture; after death, souls either head to the Netherworld or Divine Kingdom to serve Divines, with no notion of rebirth via possession.
This world lacks it, yet that doesn't mean Austin lacks it.
Crossing through multiple worlds, Austin had never been sparing in his acquisition of knowledge and power.
Creating a similar secret technique using the concepts of Possessive Rebirth from the Xianxia world in conjunction with this world's Laws isn't impossible.
"Very well, thank you, my lord."
Tirra's remnant soul quivered but refrained from probing Austin's details.
He chose to trust Austin.
Merely thinking of being reborn and acquiring a new body stirred excitement within Tirra's remnant soul, despite having experienced darkness and solitude.
Tirra's remnant soul then took his leave.
As everyone departed, only Austin remained in the empty lair.
His hand held the Golden Book, but his attention wasn't on it,
instead, he gazed into the void,
lost in thought.
Recalling a particular unexpected discovery before fleeing the half-plane.
"Was that earlier...the old undead Beast God?"
Austin's eyes sparkled as he murmured to himself.
