CHAPTER 296: CHAPTER 296: THE DEMON GOD SIRIUS, MEETING DOUGLAS AGAIN

"Weak?"

Nalorin Sylvia didn’t know what to say.

Was the Poison Venerable of the Five Greats weak? Maybe he wasn’t at the very top among Demigods, but he was surely stronger than her.

"Master, is the Poison Venerable of the Five Greats completely dead?" Nalorin Sylvia looked at the Demon-Refining Pot, a bit frightened.

Killing a Divine Soul—even God Kings and God Emperors might not be able to do that. But this artifact could refine a Divine Soul with ease. Its power was terrifying.

Johnnie nodded. He put away the Poison Venerable’s body and the divine essence that had dropped. All of it was treasure.

Especially the body of Poison Venerable of the Five Greats. With mechanical modification, he could forge a new Poison Venerable from it.

"Let’s go." He checked the Induction Compass. Time to hunt for the treasure.

They kept flying on their swords, slicing quickly across the sky.

Roar...

Angry roars echoed around them. They seemed close to the core of the Elder Dragon Wilds now. Many strong land dragons appeared, and even flying dragons.

But before Johnnie, they were no threat. He cut them down with ease.

"It should be just ahead." After flying for half a day, Johnnie glanced at the Induction Compass again. It pointed straight forward.

He could also hear the sounds of battle from there.

Whoosh!

A figure shot into the sky—a divine-level powerhouse of the demon race. A pair of huge demon wings spread behind him as he flew at great speed, with two giant dragons chasing him.

They weren’t sky dragons. They were true dragons—Demigod level.

"The Demon God!" Johnnie’s eyes lit up. He was sure now: the ancient item on that guy had to be a shard of the Map of Heaven and Earth.

Just then, the Demon God noticed Johnnie and Nalorin too. His eyes flashed. Without hesitation, he drew the two mighty dragons toward Johnnie and shouted."You two, help hold them off!"

Johnnie sneered. The Seven Swords howled out—not at the two giant dragons, but at the demon powerhouse himself.

"Hm?" The Demon God frowned and said with disdain."A small human dares to attack me? You’re courting death!"

But the next second, a purple bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky. He felt a hint of danger, but it was too late to dodge.

Boom!

With a thunderous blast, he fell out of the air. Blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. Just one bolt had already hurt him.

"What the hell?" Shocked, he stared warily at Johnnie.

Roar!

Right then, the two giant dragons closed in.

The demon expert’s face changed. He hurriedly called out."You two, I am the Demon God Sirius. Help me hold off these two dragons, and my demon race will owe you a favor."

Johnnie sneered. "We can help, but hand over the Map of Heaven and Earth shard."

"What?" Sirius’s eyes flickered. Dodging the dragons in a sorry state, he said quickly."Human, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Is that so? Then take your time to think." Johnnie spoke calmly. He had seen Sirius’s expression change and was sure the shard was on him.

"Damn it!" Sirius cursed, but he had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he rushed at Johnnie again, trying to drag him into it.

Buzz!

The Intent of the Sword hummed. The Seven Swords flashed and shot in again.

But this time, they didn’t trigger the heavenly tribulation.

Puff...

Blood sprayed as the Seven Swords struck Sirius. His face fell as huge damage numbers flashed above his head—his health dropped by over a hundred million per second.

"The law of poison!" Terror filled his eyes. The two dragons were still on his tail, and he was almost cornered.

"Human, help me deal with these two dragons and I’ll give you a fragment of the Map of Heaven and Earth," he said in a hurry. If this kept up, he would surely die.

Johnnie hesitated for a moment, then sent Seven Sword slicing toward the two giant dragons, its blade light flashing.

Clang, clang...

Clear ringing clashes echoed. Both dragons were Half-God powerhouses, and Seven Sword couldn’t break through their defense.

Crack!

Just then, the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning triggered again. A purple bolt crashed down.

Boom!

With a thunderous blast, the two dragons almost fell from the sky, and cracks spread across their hard scales.

Even powerful dragon Demigods couldn’t withstand the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning.

"Deal with the human first!" The two dragons realized Johnnie was the biggest threat. They dropped Sirius without hesitation and charged at Johnnie.

"Overestimating yourselves." Johnnie scoffed. Sword Intent wrapped around him, killing aura rising, and he unleashed the Myriad Sword Technique.

Buzz...

Countless sword lights flashed, mixed with thousands of bolts of Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning. They poured down over the two dragons.

Boom, boom...

Cold light flickered as thunder roared. The two dragons were swallowed by endless sword light and purple lightning, and in an instant they were blasted apart.

[Ding, you killed a dragon Demigod. EXP +24,000,000; Four basic attributes +10,000]

[God-killing power triggered. Your stats permanently +10%]

[Ding, you killed a dragon Demigod. EXP +24,000,000; Four basic attributes +10,000]

[God-killing power triggered. Your stats permanently +10%]

System prompts flashed one after another. Johnnie’s strength rose again.

Just then, two dragon Divine Souls flew out of the corpses and fled in panic.

"Trying to run?" Johnnie sneered. He summoned the Demon-Refining Pot, covering both souls. A terrifying pull dragged at them.

"What is that?" the two souls cried out, feeling the threat of death.

"Human, let us go! If you dare slaughter dragon experts here, Lord Dragon God will never spare you!" one soul shouted in anger.

Johnnie didn’t respond. He kept controlling the Demon-Refining Pot and swallowed both Divine Souls, refining them.

[Ding, refining dragon Divine Soul power. Absorb to enhance dragon bloodline—absorb?]

Another prompt appeared.

Enhance the dragon bloodline?

Johnnie frowned. He did have dragon blood, but his strongest bloodlines were Witch Clan and Demon Clan.

And dragon blood was just a branch of the Demon Clan anyway.

This thing isn’t of much use to him.

"It’s Red Carp—can you absorb it?" Johnnie asked in his mind.

"Yes." the Red Carp replied happily.

"Alright, it’s yours." Johnnie gave the refined power of the two dragon souls to the Red Carp.

She had already crossed the Dragon Gate and now carried the Celestial Dragon bloodline. Strengthening it more would help her a lot.

After that, Johnnie looked at Sirius.

Sirius was frozen in place, terrified and wary.

With just one move, he had easily instant-killed two dragon Half-God experts. And that wasn’t even the scariest part—he had swallowed and refined their dragon souls in the end.

Everyone knew a divine expert’s greatest strength was the Divine Soul. If the soul was destroyed, they would fall for

"The Map of Heaven and Earth—hand it over." Johnnie said coldly.

Sirius swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, squeezed out a smile, and said in a flattering tone."My lord, the Map of Heaven and Earth isn’t on me."

"Hm? You dare try to fool me?" Johnnie’s eyes turned icy, killing intent rising.

The Induction Compass had sensed it exactly—there was no mistake.

Sirius hurried to say."My lord, I’m telling the truth. The Map of Heaven and Earth is in the Demon Lair, and only I can find it."

"Heh." Johnnie sneered. "So you’re really not afraid of dying."

He didn’t bother to talk more. With a thought, the Seven Sword howled in to kill.

"Wait!" Sirius panicked, gritted his teeth, and said."My lord, if I take out a fragment of the Map of Heaven and Earth, will you spare me?"

"I don’t know. But if you don’t take it out now, you’ll die for sure." Johnnie said coldly, the Demon-Refining Pot hanging over the man’s head.

Sirius sighed inside. Faced with death, he didn’t dare play any more tricks and took a scroll fragment from inside his clothes.

Buzz!

The Map of Heaven and Earth on Johnnie trembled slightly. It was definitely a fragment of the Map.

He was just about to reach for it when a white streak of light flashed and snatched the fragment

"Who?" Johnnie shouted angrily, looking behind him.

At some point, an old man had appeared, holding a fly-whisk and toying with the Map of Heaven and Earth fragment, watching him with a playful look.

Douglas!

Johnnie was furious. This old guy’s luck never seemed to run out, and that fly-whisk was clearly a divine artifact.

"Johnnie, long time no see. I’ll keep this Map of Heaven and Earth fragment safe for you for now." He finished, and before Johnnie could react, his figure vanished.

A spatial skill?

Johnnie frowned. He already had the Celestial Mirror, yet Douglas could still blink away. It had to be a spatial skill scroll.

Those are very rare. He hadn’t expected Douglas to get one.

"Damn it!" he cursed, then stared coldly at Sirius.

Sirius’s heart sank. He hurried to say."My lord, I wasn’t the one who lost the Map of Heaven and Earth."

"Doesn’t matter." Johnnie didn’t want to waste words. He raised his hand and Seven Sword flew out.

Either way, he was going to kill Sirius.

"Bastard, the Demonic Creatures won’t spare you!"

Sirius cursed and turned to flee, but seven streaks of cold light shot after him, reaching him in a blink.

Two purple bolts of lightning came with them.

"No!" Sirius cried in fear. He was already poisoned, his health below ten percent, and he couldn’t block it.

Boom...

Two thunderous blasts in a row, and Sirius was killed on the spot.

[Ding, you killed The Demon God Sirius. EXP +20,000,000; Four basic attributes +10,000]

[God-killing power triggered. Your stats are permanently increased by 10%]

The prompts flashed. A Divine Soul rose from Sirius’s corpse. Without a moment’s hesitation, it turned to flee.

But Johnnie was ready. He instantly summoned the Demon-Refining Pot, covering Sirius’s Divine Soul. A powerful suction force surged out.

Sirius’s Divine Soul was dragged toward the pot, out of his control.

"Human, may you die a miserable death..." he snarled, and in the next instant his Divine Soul was swallowed by the Demon-Refining Pot.

[Ding, refining The Demon God’s Divine Soul. Inherit The Demon God’s godhood?]

[Note: If you inherit The Demon God’s godhood, you will gain all of The Demon God’s power, but you will be unable to cultivate other attributes.]

"No!" Johnnie chose to decline.

[Ding, you have obtained the Law of Dark Element. Refine and absorb?]
