Chapter 414: True Name
Facing the water curtain formed by the towering giant wave overhead, and the black great halberd chopping straight down from above, the Old Demon Dragon clasped his hands together. A ball of black flame the size of a basketball appeared in his Palm. Clenching his Right Hand into a fist and pulling, a two-handed greatsword, seemingly forged from obsidian, appeared in his Palm.
Gripping the sword hilt with both hands, the Old Demon Dragon flapped his dragon wings behind him and met the great halberd descending from the horizon.
The rumbling water waves poured down like the Heavenly River. Within the waves, two black lightning bolts tore in all directions – the streaking light from the great halberd in Gonggong True Form's hand and the greatsword in the Old Demon Dragon's hand, stirring up huge vortexes within the cascading water curtain... Clang clang—
Gonggong True Form wielded the great halberd with surprising lightness, chopping and thrusting with each strike. The Old Demon Dragon desperately used the two-handed greatsword in his hand to block left and right. The aftershocks of their clash tore countless space apart, distorted light, and their might was like the creation of the universe. At this moment, the Mirror Dimension finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely shattered. From the Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud above Tang Song's head, the golden bell transformed into a golden light and descended. The golden bell expanded to several hundred miles in size, covering them directly. Inside, starlight flowed, and twelve stars faintly flickered, steadily taking the place of the Mirror Dimension and blocking the aftershocks of the battle between Gonggong True Form and the Old Demon Dragon.
In terms of strength, as the first Black Demon Dragon in this universe, the Old Demon Dragon possessed power far exceeding hundreds of millions of tons. Even Titans weighing tens of thousands of tons were merely children in front of him. Even Gonggong, in his true form state, was three parts inferior to him in terms of raw strength. In terms of weapons, the unassuming two-handed greatsword in the Old Demon Dragon's hand was also a top-tier divine artifact from the Abyss World, having followed the Old Demon Dragon for hundreds of millions of years and having drunk the blood of countless Hell Lords, Dimensional Evil Gods, and deities from various Divine Pantheons. In terms of strength and weapons, the Old Demon Dragon was not inferior to Gonggong True Form. However, when it came to combat talent, Gonggong True Form could leave the Old Demon Dragon ten streets behind. Under Gonggong True Form's great halberd, the Old Demon Dragon could only parry exhaustedly. Whenever he wanted to counterattack, the great halberd in Gonggong True Form's hand could always accurately grasp the trajectory of his moves, always attacking where he was forced to defend, striking at his weakest point precisely when his new strength had not yet emerged and his old strength was depleted.
Relying on his great strength, the Old Demon Dragon strained to parry Gonggong True Form's attack. However, Gonggong True Form's attacks constantly targeted the Old Demon Dragon's vital points, forcing the Old Demon Dragon into a desperate defense.
What made the Old Demon Dragon even more uncomfortable were the surrounding water waves, which made him feel like he was submerged in viscous mercury. Every movement required ten times the effort.
Little did the Old Demon Dragon know that the boundless giant wave stirred up by Gonggong True Form was actually transformed from Primordial True Water. Primordial True Water, like the Tai Bai Gold Crystal refined from the essence of five metals, was incredibly pure. A single drop was enough to fill a large lake in the Human World, and a cup of heavy water could unleash a towering flood that swept across the Ground.
However, refining this kind of True Water was even more troublesome. But Gonggong was the ancestor of all water gods in the Jambudvīpa World, so his water control power was naturally immense. Refining this Primordial True Water was not difficult for him! Under Tang Song's instructions, the East Galaxy Company found several Planets completely covered by Ocean. Gonggong True Form extracted the water veins from these Planets, using the water from several Planets and multiple Oceans to refine a vat of Primordial True Water.
Now, this True Water had transformed into boundless giant waves, surrounding Gonggong True Form and providing powerful assistance to this ancestor of water gods.
As for the Old Demon Dragon, the True Dragons of the Jambudvīpa World were born with the ability to control clouds, rain, and Water Control. However, Western Dragons like him did not possess this innate ability... What made the Old Demon Dragon even more uncomfortable was that he was a demonic dragon with the Fire attribute. Fighting his enemy within these giant waves,
Within the giant waves, every single drop of water had a mass ten times that of a metal bullet. Boom! When a wave crashed down, it was like countless meteorites smashing down. Even though the Old Demon Dragon's physique was formidable and he remained unharmed under this level of attack, the discomfort made him feel like spitting blood.
"Clang!"
The greatsword in the Old Demon Dragon's hand clashed with the great halberd in Gonggong True Form's hand once again. The surrounding giant waves instantly exploded under their strike, turning into countless water bullets that shot out in all directions. Gonggong True Form lifted his great halberd, and the splashing waves instantly gathered on the halberd blade. With a swing of the great halberd, he smashed it towards the Old Demon Dragon's face—
From the blade of Gonggong True Form's halberd, Blue Light poured down like the Heavenly River hanging upside down. The Old Demon Dragon gripped his greatsword with both hands and swept upwards. The Sword Light was like black lightning tearing through the sky. However, the Old Demon Dragon had no intention of clashing head-on with Gonggong True Form... As he swept his sword upwards, the Old Demon Dragon let out a series of difficult-to-pronounce dragon roars from his mouth. With the enhancement of his Dragon Language Magic, the Sword Light he swept out seemed to instantly fill the entire The Void.
A tearing space rift lay across the path of the halberd light chopped out by Gonggong True Form, like The Void opening a huge mouth to devour the boundless giant waves sweeping towards it. The Old Demon Dragon held his two-handed greatsword, confronting Gonggong True Form across the healing space rift. After glancing at the Old Demon Dragon, Gonggong True Form turned and left. Watching Gonggong True Form disappear as a black light into the cloud above Tang Song's head, the Old Demon Dragon hadn't figured out what was happening when a crisp, cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, just as he was casting his gaze towards Tang Song:
"Again!"
Along with the voice, there was the sound of breaking air from the back of his head.
"Not good!"
The Old Demon Dragon didn't have time to turn around. He raised the greatsword in his hands and met it upwards.
"Clang!"
An unimaginable great strength numbed the Old Demon Dragon's arms. His entire body instantly plummeted downwards. But the blood shadow above his head was like a maggot clinging to bone, chasing him and swinging the blood mace in its hand. As the Old Demon Dragon fell, blood shadow and red light flickered around him. The continuous red light made the Old Demon Dragon's face look somewhat eerie... Clang clang clang clang clang— The blood mace clashed with the greatsword. The shockwaves generated by their clash stirred up storms powerful enough to cause the destruction of a Planet. The shockwaves turned into white qi barriers, carrying deafening sound of breaking air, like the arc-shaped light of death swung by Death, rapidly pressing outwards. Finally, they were blocked by an arc-shaped golden semi-transparent barrier.
Nv Ba, transformed into a blood shadow, held the blood mace. Her speed was so fast that the Old Demon Dragon could only see her afterimage. He swung the greatsword in his hand, trying to block Nv Ba's attack, but Nv Ba's speed was too fast.
So fast that even though the Old Demon Dragon used all his strength, he couldn't completely block her attacks!
"Roar—"
After being hit squarely by Nv Ba's hundreds of mace strikes, his body torn and flesh split, the Old Demon Dragon finally couldn't bear it anymore. His body suddenly expanded rapidly. Amidst a series of roars, he revealed his true body—a massive demonic dragon, dozens of miles in size, appeared in this The Void. Every scale on his body was the size of a building. With a slight turn of his mountain-like head, he spat out a sea of dragon breath-like flames. The most outrageous thing was that despite becoming so huge, this demonic dragon's speed didn't decrease but increased instead. With a swipe of his claws, the entire space began to burn with black-purple blazing flames, like a sea of hellfire...
Sections of dragon roars and roars echoed from his mouth. Waves of strangely colored radiance fluctuations burst forth from his massive body: Weakness, Slow, Poison, Curse, Frozen, Paralysis. As these strangely colored wave rings burst from Inside the Body of the Old Demon Dragon, this Battlefield, opened up under the Chaos Bell, instantly turned into a colorful dye shop.
Nv Ba's Hanba Physique, which is outside the Three Realms and Six Paths and beyond the Five Elements, should normally not fear magic like Poison or curses. But this Old Demon Dragon unleashed thousands of magic curses in one go. The force of these ancient Dragon Language Magic curses itself surpassed that of normal dark magic. With numerous Dragon Language Magic curses stacked together in this confined space, even a Golden Immortal would shiver.
Nv Ba's speed also slowed down under the enhancement of hundreds of slowing, hindering, paralyzing, and Frozen magic curses. The Old Demon Dragon, catching Nv Ba's trace, spat out a breath of dragon flame...
"Roar!"
Looking at Nv Ba being swallowed by the flames, a hint of pleasure appeared in the Old Demon Dragon's dragon eye. The next moment, circles of earthen yellow light suddenly flickered out of nowhere, gathering in rings upon the triumphant Old Demon Dragon's body.
Suddenly, the Old Demon Dragon's massive body smashed towards the Ground like an Asteroid. A huge weight, so great it almost suffocated him, appeared out of nowhere, pressing down on him and making him see stars.
Sparks flew from his mouth and nose, and he held his breath in his chest, unable to breathe for a long time.
From within the black flame, a blood-colored figure walked out. With each step, her body size grew larger. By the time she reached the Old Demon Dragon, Nv Ba's figure had grown to over two thousand feet tall. Although still dwarfed by the Old Demon Dragon's massive form, she was also a giant creature. At this moment, Nv Ba's entire body was covered in blood-colored scales, and a pair of bat wings that obscured the sky spread out behind her. Two sharp canine teeth extended from the sides of her mouth. Accompanied by her silent roar, the earthen yellow light originating from the Ground continuously enveloped the Old Demon Dragon...
Zombies, existences that transcend the Three Realms and Six Paths, besides being immortal and indestructible, are also called darlings of the Earth, possessing the strength to control the Earth attribute. For a guardian deity who had followed Tang Song for a long time, Nv Ba was not an ignorant person like Apocalypse. Gravity, controlling magnetic force fields are all parts of the Earth (Planet).
When Nv Ba unleashed her ability, the Old Demon Dragon felt every piece of flesh and blood in his entire body bearing thousands, tens of thousands of times his own weight... Just as the Old Demon Dragon was struggling to resist this gravity, opening his dragon mouth, wanting to chant Dragon Language Magic, Nv Ba's figure appeared beside the Old Demon Dragon. A heavy hook punch slammed into the Old Demon Dragon's wide-open mouth. The Old Demon Dragon's head instantly reeled. This punch made his head dizzy, and saliva and sparks were blasted out together. Rip!
Nv Ba, her face covered in blood-colored scales, suddenly grabbed the Old Demon Dragon's neck and bit down fiercely, sucking large gulps of the Old Demon Dragon's blood. In severe pain, the Old Demon Dragon violently shook his head, trying to shake Nv Ba off. At the same time, his claws and dragon wing swiped, directly tearing open black space rifts and slashing towards Nv Ba. But Nv Ba's biting position was too tricky; many attacks simply couldn't harm her, unless the Old Demon Dragon wanted to sever his own head.
Just as the Old Demon Dragon endured the severe pain and prepared to chant a powerful Dragon Language Magic from his memory, the hairpin used to fix her hair on top of Nv Ba's head suddenly flew out, transforming into a blood-colored sword implement several dozen feet thick, stabbing directly towards the Old Demon Dragon's head! At one end of the sword hilt, the blood-colored skull-like bell swayed, and a sharp whistle simultaneously sprayed out from the skull's head.
Amidst this strange whistle, the Old Demon Dragon felt as if people were constantly calling out his name. This voice, which reached his soul, made his mind momentarily confused.
As the thick blood-colored sword blade pierced through the scales on the Old Demon Dragon's head, an invisible evil force attacked from above. The Old Demon Dragon couldn't help but let out a painful dragon's roar.
As the skull at the end of the sword hilt continuously emitted strange whistles, dozens of extremely fine blood-colored streaking light flowed down from the Old Demon Dragon's head and entered his body, shooting straight towards his soul.
These strange bloodlight skillfully bypassed the millions of magic barriers, various Great Guardian Arts, and Divine Arts Inside the Body of the Old Demon Dragon that were used to protect his soul. They bound a wisp of his soul and began to drag it outwards. At this moment, the Old Demon Dragon was truly scared out of his wits. As a Hell Lord, he knew better than anyone what fate awaited a soul once it fell into someone else's hands.
Just like his Old Friend, the Old Devil Mephisto, wasn't his favorite trick to use souls as lamp heads, rubbing their wicks, and listening to their wailing as he fell asleep! The Old Demon Dragon's soul struggled desperately, trying to awaken the guardian magic. These magic included curses from the Hell Abyss, cursing existences that coveted his soul; Soul protection from Asgard; and blessings from the Olympian Pantheon (he had kidnapped an Olympian Goddess during the war between the second and third generation God Kings of Olympus, imprisoned her as his *slave, and over the long years, the Old Demon Dragon had also mastered many magic from the Olympian Pantheon). But no matter how the Old Demon Dragon struggled, the magic barriers that could resist the curses of Hell Lords and Skyfathers of the same level seemed unable to sense the strange blood silk threads. The threads, however, seemed to notice his struggle, directly piercing through this wisp of his soul, binding it tightly as if it were a fish on a hook, and dragging it towards the blood-colored vortex above his head.
"Surrender, I surrender! I am willing to recognize you as my Lord!"
Accompanied by the Old Demon Dragon's hissing, the blood silk threads showed no sign of stopping, still pulling his soul towards the blood-colored vortex.
Nv Ba, who was gulping down the dragon blood, felt the strength in her body continuously increasing. Feeling this prey's constant struggle, Nv Ba directly swung her fist and began smashing the Old Demon Dragon's head with a series of thuds!
"My True Name is ****Níðhöggr****Nahas****Raymond&%*￥%—"
A series of difficult-to-pronounce dragon roars, longer than an old lady's foot-binding cloth, echoed throughout the entire space.
