"What?! A spatial skill?!" The leading demon race powerhouse exclaimed, his face contorting in disbelief; he simply couldn't trust what he was seeing.
"What kind of true dragon is this, capable of utilizing a spatial technique in the Transcendence realm?" he muttered, his voice tinged with incredulity.
Simultaneously, Mo Hao was also struck with surprise. 'A spatial skill!' he thought, his eyes widening.
'This true dragon actually possesses spatial abilities, eradicating so many from the demon race's army in mere moments!'
'Even an unfortunate Early-stage Transcendence realm demon was included.'
'Darn it, I miscalculated again. I initially assumed this dragon would be halted here, but her combat prowess is far stronger than I anticipated.'
'Luckily, she's only slain one Early-stage Transcendence realm demon, leaving ample targets for my grandiose display.' With that thought, he rapidly advanced toward the battlefield.
Amidst the battlefield, Ying Luo retracted her dragon claws after annihilating a substantial group of demons. She unleashed a furious roar toward the heavens before lunging at the Transcendence realm demons opposite her.
The foremost Transcendence realm demon had initially intended to withdraw, aiming to dodge a head-on clash with Ying Luo.
However, just then, Bo Luncang's voice echoed in the ears of all the Transcendence realm demons present. "Listen, everyone! A true dragon has emerged in the Western Ice Domain. The Demon Lord commands its capture—alive!"
The instant the command was given, not a single demon on the field dared to consider retreat any longer.
"The Demon Lord's command!" one Transcendence realm demon exclaimed, his voice tinged with a mix of awe and urgency.
"It's a decree from the Demon Lord himself! We are to seize the true dragon alive!"
"It appears that His Excellency, the Demon Lord, has already gathered intel on this true dragon; otherwise, he wouldn't instruct us to engage!"
"Don't worry, everyone. This true dragon's combat power is merely at the Late-stage Transcendence realm. United, we can surely wear her down and capture her."
Exchanging glances, the Transcendence realm demons promptly shifted their intent and charged in unison toward Ying Luo.
"Roar!" Ying Luo unleashed a sky-piercing, enraged roar. Resounding like a golden horn, her howl reverberated through the heavens, instantly slaying numerous weaker demons where they stood.
Right after, Ying Luo's gargantuan dragon body, brimming with immense power, engaged in fierce combat with four Transcendence realm demons.
At the same moment, Mo Hao discreetly blended into the demon army, effectively concealing his aura.
The demons, although fearful of the true dragon, regarded Mo Hao—a seemingly frail human—as inconsequential.
Witnessing the true dragon now ensnared by the Transcendence realm powerhouses, they breathed a collective sigh of relief and immediately shifted their spears' aim toward Mo Hao.
Incapable of confronting the true dragon, they felt assured they could at least subdue this minor human cultivator!
"Scum of the demon race!" Mo Hao stood arrogantly, his aura radiating at the Dao Palace realm level, ready to deliver a scathing line before launching into action.
However, from the high-altitude battleground of the Transcendence realm, a thunderous roar—"Roar!"—erupted from the true dragon, followed by a devastatingly potent attack.
In a flash, the sky was inundated with myriad dragon claw shadows, aimed at the four Transcendence realm demons.
Scrambling to evade, the Transcendence realm demons inadvertently moved toward the area where Mo Hao was positioned.
As a consequence, the sky teemed with descending dragon claw shadows, raining down upon the packed ranks of the demon army.
Woosh! Woosh!
Slash! Slash!
The demons in Mo Hao's vicinity found themselves bombarded by the torrent of dragon claw shadows. Outwardly, they seemed unharmed; however, their souls were promptly extinguished.
The very next moment, thousands of demons abruptly collapsed to the ground, dead, under Mo Hao's astonished gaze.
Snapping back to reality, Mo Hao felt both irritated and disappointed as he cast his eyes toward the battlefield where Ying Luo was in the heat of battle. "Dead, all of them? And I haven't even commenced my grand performance yet!"
He observed Ying Luo, locked in intense combat with the four Transcendence realm demons.
"The true dragon didn't intend for this to happen," Mo Hao assured himself, inhaling deeply. "Yes, this was an accident, just an accident!"
"Next, I'll surely pull off a grand spectacle!" He shifted his focus toward the remaining demons, who were visibly petrified.
The pent-up frustration and anger he harbored found their release.
Without a second thought, he lunged forward.
"That human is coming!" one demon shouted, his voice laden with urgency and dread.
"Let's flee; I have no desire to meet my end!"
"Run? If you dare escape, the demon army will apprehend you later, and you'll wish you were dead. Better to confront him."
"It had to be inadvertent earlier; merely collateral damage from the ongoing battle. The true dragon didn't deliberately target us—there's no need for fear!"
Through divine sense communication, some demons reassured the apprehensive among them. Then, with renewed vitality, they lunged toward Mo Hao.
All their pent-up anger and fear were now directed at this young human cultivator!
At that moment, both Mo Hao and the demon army were under the impression that the prior incident had been accidental. Fueled by this belief, they charged toward each other, primed for slaughter and eager to vent their pent-up emotions.
However, just as Mo Hao marshaled his energy, poised for a dazzling onslaught, Ying Luo unleashed a merciless spectacle with a ferocious "Roar!"
"Blood Energy Absorption!" A magnetic force of immense strength emanated from Ying Luo's body, impacting nearly everyone on the battlefield.
This gravitational pull was both mysterious and intense, specifically aimed at the vital energy within each living creature's bloodstream.
Almost immediately, numerous demons affected by this force began to exude mists of blood-red fog from their forms. These mists aggregated into a celestial canvas of blood clouds!
The blood clouds spiraled into a vortex, which Ying Luo ingested in a single, voracious gulp.
"Roar!" Consuming a colossal amount of qi and blood energy, Ying Luo's aura skyrocketed within seconds.
"Damn it!" one Transcendence realm demon exclaimed, his voice laced with urgency and alarm. "The true dragon has activated a secret art to boost her power! Hold the line, everyone!"
"If we can endure this phase, she will be no match for us!"
Expressions of the other three Transcendence realm demons morphed dramatically. Gritting their teeth, they persevered in their struggle with Ying Luo.
Simultaneously, Mo Hao's eyes widened in disbelief, mentally cursing, 'This infernal dragon! She's done it again!'
He had been on the cusp of unleashing his ostentatious performance.
However, a significant fraction of his intended targets were already down!
Even the remaining demon troops seemed to waver in their advance.
Regaining his composure, Mo Hao mentally reassured himself, 'She likely didn't intend for this to happen. After all, using such a secret art would naturally consume a lot of her energy.'
'With her secret art activated, she may not be able to maintain this pace for long. I need to accelerate my own progress to become stronger and be the last one standing,' he mused, readying himself for a renewed attack on the dwindling demon forces.
Now, fewer than ten thousand demons remained on the battlefield.
The demon army, too, had deduced that Ying Luo had invoked a power-enhancing secret art. They also realized that their Transcendence realm elites had yet to reveal their full potential.
This insinuated that, with sufficient time, the true dragon would undoubtedly be the first to falter.
If even the true dragon couldn't endure, then victory for the demon army was virtually assured.
Witnessing Mo Hao's audacious charge, the demon army reciprocated by advancing in unison.
To these demonic soldiers, Mo Hao was still a minor concern.
In a matter of moments, Mo Hao found himself on a collision course with a sizable battalion of the demon army.
