Chapter: Arrival of the Destruction Emperor Dragon Awakens
"Your Majesty, we've found that human!"
Atop the mountain peak, Chen Chu's name and the name of Chu the Dominator suddenly resonated with a thread of fortune power. The destined high priest's will manifested, shattering Chen Chu's name with a single strike.
Boom! The shattered names reformed into golden light, entwining around the high priest's palm, reaching into the colorful stream of illusory existence below.
Rumble! The high priest's consciousness boomed, extending infinitely, crossing millions of miles to appear above the Demon King Scott's city.
Watching the terrifying figure below, which had shattered heaven and earth and slain Erybor with a single strike, the high priest's consciousness shook. Just then, a dragon's roar erupted from deep within the mythical world.
Roar! Accompanied by the roar, ancient characters named 'Cang' flickered in the depths of the source of the mythical world's rules, shaking the river of fate.
In an instant, an invisible shockwave erupted, scattering the high priest's consciousness and returning it to his body. An expression of horror appeared on his aged face: "Your Majesty, that human is within the empire, in Scott's territory. He has slain Duke Erybor in one blow."
"What? Chu the Dominator is within my empire." Dioreus suddenly rose, shaking the entire realm with overwhelming demon might, filling the atmosphere with a terrifying killing intent.
But just then, an invisible force of fate descended, enveloping the high priest in a layer of golden flames.
The golden flames were formless and temperatureless, like an illusory projection, and only the high priest could keenly perceive the rapid depletion of his lifespan.
The high priest had long grown accustomed to this scene, quietly waiting for the backlash of supreme destiny to end.
Yet gradually, the destined high priest felt something was amiss; this backlash seemed excessively strong, with vitality burning away faster and faster, as if there were no end.
Soon, his burning lifespan exceeded the expected two thousand years, then two thousand three, two thousand five... three thousand...
In just a short while, nearly four thousand years of his lifespan had been depleted, causing the high priest's aura to grow increasingly decayed and feeble, visibly withering.
The high priest could not help but exclaim in shock: "Not good, this backlash is too great, my remaining lifespan is insufficient to offset it. Your Majesty, save me."
"I have a strand of time dragon whiskers." Dioreus was also shocked. With a wave of his hand, he produced a transparent dragon whisker over ten meters long, entwined with the power of time.
Although the power of time was precious, it was of little use to the demon god Dioreus, as he theoretically possessed infinite lifespan by mastering the rules.
As for why he didn't give both strands of time dragon whiskers to the high priest at once, it was naturally to keep his hands free.
With a whoosh! As the high priest grasped the time dragon whisker and absorbed the entangled power of time, his aura slightly recovered, dispelling the sense of impending decay.
However, the golden illusory flames still burned fiercely around him, showing no signs of extinguishing, continuously consuming his life source.
If he could not endure this any longer, he would still be reduced to ashes. Realizing this, the high priest looked at Dioreus with hopeful eyes.
Dioreus slowly shook his head, his voice deep: "I too am out of options. When I encountered that giant dragon mastering time back in the day, I only managed to sever two of its whiskers."
"Although that time dragon's realm was merely at the titan peak, under the mastery of the supreme law of time, even I could not subdue it."
There's nothing left.
Feeling the five thousand years of lifespan he had just replenished burn away in an instant, the high priest gained clarity and instead calmed down.
With a dry and hoarse voice, the high priest said: "Your Majesty, it seems my end has come. Those who gaze into the fates shall ultimately be devoured by destiny." As he spoke, the few remaining teeth in his mouth fell out.
