Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)-Chapter 508: Journey Across Continents (6)

Third Person’s POV

In the very next instant, she vanished abruptly from her position.

She did not leave behind any afterimage and did not disturb the surrounding darkness.

She simply seemed to have ceased to exist in that location.

At the same time, a haunting and profoundly different dragon roar erupted from her throat.

This roar was unlike the previous ones as it did not spread outward in waves.

Instead, it pierced through space itself.

It traveled silently across dimensional layers, bypassing distance and obstruction, and manifested directly within the consciousness of its target.

Far ahead, the fleeing dark emperor froze for the briefest fraction of a second as the sound waves did not reach his ears but strangely directly echoed in his soul.

An overwhelming pressure that seemed suffocating and inescapable descended upon his existence, as if an ancient and absolute predator had fixed its gaze upon him once more.

The terror he had barely managed to suppress surged violently within him again and was far stronger than before.

’Shit... that again... Fuccckkkkk!!!’

The dark emperor roared in his mind, his thoughts trembling as a terror inducing realization struck him with brutal clarity.

He understood immediately that the dark dragon had used a different form of draconic intimidation, one far more precise and invasive than the innate divine spell, Primordial Dragon Gaze, he had encountered moments earlier.

This new, unexpected, and mysterious spell created such suppression that his movements faltered, and that single moment of hesitation destroyed everything he had struggled to achieve in the past few seconds.

Before he could recover, space behind him fractured silently.

Nyx completed another spatial jump and emerged from the distortion, appearing just a few hundred metres behind him.

Her colossal form materialized with absolute precision, her massive wings still folded as her golden slit eyes locked onto his weakened existence.

She had already opened her mouth.

Deep within her throat, darkness started condensing rapidly and then erupted.

A vast torrent of dark dragon breath surged outward instantly, expanding across an expanse of two to three kilometres in front of her.

The breath did not resemble ordinary flame.

It was dense, violent, and absolute, and consumed space itself as it advanced.

The Shadow Realm seemed to tremble beneath its passage as its very foundational laws of that region seemed to have been torn into shambles. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Every hidden manifestation Dajjal had deployed, and every shadow layer he had constructed for protection, was instantly engulfed.

The injured dark emperor had no choice but to face it directly as he braced himself desperately, forcing every remaining fragment of his Heaven Connecting dark essence to rise in defense.

But the true terror lay in one undeniable truth, as this dragon’s breath was far stronger than the one she had unleashed earlier when she had destroyed his domain spell in the material world’s Sanctum realm.

It was hundreds of times stronger, as this was not an attack meant to dismantle a simple domain but an attack that held the power to dismantle a realm’s foundational laws and was meant to erase an existence like his.

The torrent carried enough power to reduce ancient mountains hundreds of metres tall into nothing but dust and ash in a single instant, denying even the chance for molten remnants to exist.

Stone would not melt under this force and would cease to exist entirely.

And now, in his gravely injured state, the dark emperor who stood directly in its path had nowhere to run.

Dajjal and Nyx both understood the weight of the attack that had just been unleashed.

The torrent of dark dragon breath roaring through the Shadow Realm carried enough destructive authority to truly annihilate both body and soul of a newly advanced Heaven Connection Realm expert, even if that individual resisted with everything they possessed.

It was not merely a physical incineration, but it was an erasure that reached into the spiritual foundation of one’s existence.

Even a mid stage Heaven Connection Realm expert could have suffered devastating and near fatal injuries if they had been forced to withstand it directly.

However, they both also knew another truth that a peak grade five existence was not something that could be crushed by brute force alone.

Such a being was not forged through simple accumulation of power or fortunate breakthroughs.

It was refined through countless life and death experiences, through schemes layered upon schemes, through sacrifices and hidden trump cards that were never revealed lightly, and opportunities that were meant for one in a million.

And just as it seemed that the already injured dark emperor was about to be engulfed completely by the overwhelming torrent of dragon breath, something changed.

The surroundings in front of Nyx’s eyes suddenly stilled.

The roaring infernal flames continued forward, yet the space directly before her froze unnaturally, as though an invisible wall had manifested within the Shadow Realm.

A strange gray fog began to spread outward from that still point that soon expanded rapidly, swallowing the area before her.

The fog did not carry heat and did not carry mana fluctuations.

It carried a strange, suffocating, and foreboding silence as it enveloped her vision.

Soon, her thoughts began to blur, and the growing fury that had been driving her forward seemed to scatter unexpectedly, melting away like frost under a distant sun.

The overwhelming certainty that had filled her mind began to dissolve, only to be replaced by a faint, creeping disorientation that she was becoming smaller.

She felt herself to be smaller, and this sensation was very subtle but deeply unsettling at the same time.

Her immense draconic body, which moments ago had filled the heavens with overwhelming presence, now felt distant and less imposing while the dominance she had embodied seemed to slip through her grasp like sand between her claws.

A jitter ran sharply through her consciousness, and her golden slit eyes suddenly contracted violently.

In that instant, clarity returned to her mind, and she shockingly realized that she had been placed under a mind spell.
