Chapter 610: Chapter 447: Domain Confrontation, Giant Charge
It was as if they had been cast into the hottest melting furnace!
There were no screams, no struggles—only a deathly silence as they dissolved.
In just over ten seconds, the mountain of bones that had filled the valley... had completely liquefied!
The entire Mass Grave had transformed into a colossal, bottomless...
Blood Lake!
The lake’s surface was calm and without a single ripple, yet it exuded an aura that made one’s very soul shudder.
Raylo’s heart sank.
Viewed from high above, the Blood Lake looked like a giant, red eye set within the Jade Swamp, staring up at the sky.
Within it, a terrifying will seemed to be awakening.
Raylo took a sharp breath, cold air flooding his lungs.
"Sun!"
He shouted to Sun, who was flying at his side.
At that moment, Sun’s golden eyes were already locked on the Blood Lake below.
"Burn that Blood Lake dry!"
Raylo roared.
"ROAR!"
A dragon’s cry, powerful enough to pierce the clouds and shatter stone, echoed across the sky.
Sun beat its Dragon Wings, positioning itself above the Blood Lake.
It stretched its draconic body, becoming a blazing sun itself.
The color of the entire sky changed in an instant.
Golden ripples spread out from its body, heating the air until it distorted, as if space itself was about to ignite.
Sun Furnace Domain!
Endless light and heat converged, forming a terrifyingly thick pillar of golden light that descended from the heavens and blasted down toward the deathly still Blood Lake.
Before the pillar of light even struck, the ground around the Blood Lake began to char and crack.
However, just as the golden pillar was about to touch the lake’s surface...
"HUMMM!"
...a hemispherical, blood-red Light Shield materialized out of thin air above the Blood Lake.
The Light Shield was as smooth as a mirror, yet countless twisted, tormented faces flowed across its surface, letting out silent wails.
"BOOM!"
The golden pillar of light smashed viciously against the blood-red Light Shield.
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
There was only a screeching SIZZLE, so piercing it felt like it would rupture one’s eardrums.
Golden Flame and blood-red light frantically entangled, each trying to corrode and annihilate the other.
Vast clouds of blood-red steam rose, carrying a stench of blood and char so thick it was suffocating, obscuring everyone’s vision.
Sun let out an angry roar from the sky and increased its power output.
The golden pillar of light grew more concentrated, its power even more terrifying.
But the blood-red Light Shield below only flickered violently a few times before stabilizing. It then remained motionless, no matter how fiercely Sun’s Blazing Flame burned against it.
It held firm, keeping the golden Flame—hot enough to melt steel—at bay.
Raylo’s brow furrowed.
’This sacrificial ritual is even more bizarre and powerful than I imagined.’
Just then, another dragon’s cry rang out from the front.
Gaius’s Thunder Dragon mount let out a short, ill-tempered roar, electricity arcing between its scales.
"You beast! Your opponent is over here!"
Gaius bellowed.
Now that the star of the show, the Six-armed Snake Demon, had appeared, it was his time to strike.
The next moment, the Thunder Dragon gave a mighty beat of its wings and became a bolt of lightning, charging straight for the Six-armed Snake Demon with devastating momentum!
"Iron Blood" Luke, riding his Thunder Eagle, swept in from the left flank, fierce bolts of lightning tearing through the air.
"Let’s slaughter it!"
Marquis "Red Blade" Kadar’s mount was a Flame Griffin King. He spurred it to charge from the right flank, the Flame spewed by the Griffin King warping the very air with its heat.
At that moment, the three greatest Domain Level Powerhouses in the Kingdom launched a simultaneous, deadly assault on the Six-armed Snake Demon!
Facing the pincer attack from three powerhouses of its own level, the Six-armed Snake Demon’s face finally revealed a flicker of something human-like... disdain.
"ROAR!"
"HISS!"
Two figures suddenly shot out from its sides.
One was an old foe of the Black Stone Territory: "Blood River"!
Upon emerging, its Domain Power erupted into an overwhelming blood mist that coalesced into a Blood Mist Demon Serpent.
Blood River commanded the Blood Mist Demon Serpent, soaring into the sky.
The other was "Blood Throat," a Three-headed Snake Monster!
It was an Exotic Snake Monster, twenty meters tall, brandishing three savage heads, each a different color: ink-green, dark violet, and russet-brown.
It was also at the Domain Level!
"BOOM!"
Gaius’s Thunder Dragon unleashed its Thunderbolt Domain, and a myriad of Thunderbolts clashed violently with the Sword Qi unleashed by the Six-armed Snake Demon.
Lightning and Sword Qi intertwined, their collision sending a violent shockwave expanding in all directions, carving deep furrows into the ground.
Marquis Luke confronted the Blood Mist Demon Serpent commanded by "Blood River."
He deployed his Iron Blood Domain and clashed with Blood River several times in quick succession.
Meanwhile, Marquis "Red Blade" Kadar was intercepted by the Three-headed Snake Monster, "Blood Throat."
Its three heads simultaneously opened their cavernous, bloody maws, spewing three entirely different types of attacks.
For a moment, Marquis Kadar was completely suppressed, finding himself in constant peril.
Raylo’s eyes turned cold.
’I can’t wait any longer!’
’That bizarre blood-red shield over the Blood Lake can’t be broken quickly.’
’And on the main front, Gaius and the others are clearly bogged down in a bitter fight.’
’The only opening is the Six-armed Snake Demon itself!’
’Just as we planned, if I kill it, the Snake-man Legion’s morale will collapse, and that bizarre ritual might even be broken!’
"Lightning!"
Raylo patted Lightning’s neck.
"Let’s go!"
"KREEE!"
Lightning let out an excited draconic cry; it had been waiting for this.
Blue lightning crackled across its body. In the next second, it became a bolt of pure electricity, skimming low across the chaotic battlefield. It shot in from the right flank, rocketing toward the Six-armed Snake Demon!
Raylo crouched low, his right hand gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The wind howled past his ears. Below, countless figures were locked in a deadly melee, a cacophony of battle cries, clashing weapons, and screams rising from the fray.
As they flew over his Giant Legion, Raylo took a deep breath and used his Magic Power to amplify his voice.
"Kado!"
His voice boomed like thunder, ringing out clearly across the chaotic battlefield.
"ROAR!"
From below, amidst the Giant Legion locked in a fierce struggle with a thousand elite Snake-man Warriors, a heaven-shaking roar answered him.
Kado snatched a Snake-man from in front of him, tossed it aside like trash, and then jerked his head upward.
He saw the streak of blue lightning racing across the sky.
He saw the figure on Lightning’s back who had called out to him.
"My lord!"
Kado let out a roar, his massive, stone-like fist slamming into the ground.
"BOOM!"
His Gravity Domain erupted instantly!
The bodies of the thousand Snake-man Warriors before him suddenly sank, as if a small mountain were pressing down on them. Their movements instantly became unbearably sluggish.
"Charge!"
Kado took a massive stride forward.
The hundred-odd Hill Giants behind him roared in unison, following Kado’s heavy-footed advance.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sight of over a hundred Hill Giants, each more than ten meters tall, charging simultaneously was absolutely stunning.
They were like a moving fortress wall, an unstoppable tide.
Before this display of absolute Power, any Snake-man who stood in their way was effortlessly sent flying or crushed underfoot!
Raylo led the charge from the air, riding Lightning.
Kado led the Giant Legion in their wake on the ground.
Together, they tore through the stalemated front lines, driving straight for the heart of the Snake-man Legion!
The powerful Snake-men entangled with Gaius and the others also felt this sudden, immense pressure.
The Six-armed Snake Demon turned its head. Its scarlet, slitted pupils looked past Gaius, with whom it was battling, and fixed on Raylo.
For the first time, a truly cruel smile spread across its face.
Its six arms simultaneously raised six menacing Treasure Sabers, pointing them in Raylo’s direction.
’As expected of a Peak powerhouse just one step shy of the Catastrophe Level. Even while fighting an expert like Gaius, it still has the spare energy to taunt me.’
Lightning was incredibly fast, crossing half the battlefield in mere seconds to arrive at the zone where the Domain Level Powerhouses were fighting.
Just then, a figure emerged from the enemy lines to block Raylo’s path: "Snake Woman" Najasha, riding her Feathered Snake King.
