Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

"If you're so eager for death! Then let me deliver your wish!"

In an instant, Long Yi sensed a shift in the environment. He was enveloped in a powerful, ancient battlefield, where the ground was covered in a sea of corpses. Bachor's monarch domain---the Asura Domain, had swept in, not only engulfing Marquis Kregi, Xiang Nanfeng, the Dark Dragon King, and Wei Yi, but also tens of thousands of troops. Within this domain, Long Yi saw countless grotesque skeletons emerging from the sea of corpses, their bodies red as blood, as if freshly pulled from a pool of hellish blood. They exuded a bloody aura, each of them holding longbows.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Countless arrows shot out, and cries of agony filled the air. Several ogres fell, their bodies riddled with arrows. The arrows shot by the blood skeletons were a manifestation of domain attacks, terrifying in their ability to bypass defenses. These arrows could pierce dragon scales and even harm the Dark Dragon King.

The Asura Domain was an incredibly offensive domain. Once beings below the Level 5 were caught within it, Bachor would not even need to lift a finger. With just his domain, he could effortlessly massacre them.

The number of blood skeletons grew steadily---

A hundred!

Two hundred!

Five hundred!

A thousand!

Over a thousand blood skeletons continuously shot arrows, their attacks reaching an extreme speed. It was nearly impossible to dodge the arrows, and they relentlessly targeted the Dark Dragon King and their intended victims.

Wei Yi unleashed a beholder beam, instantly obliterating five skeletons in a straight line. However, once the blood skeletons were destroyed, they merely turned into a brief mist of blood and reformed elsewhere, drawing their bows and shooting powerful arrows at Wei Yi.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

-25!

-25!

-25!

Several arrows struck Wei Yi's shoulder and arm. While the individual attack damage wasn't exceptionally high, being focused on could be extremely perilous.

"It's futile!"

"These creatures aren't physical entities. They are part of the domain! Unless we disrupt the domain, they won't disappear!"

Long Yi felt an intense sense of suppression, second only to that exerted by his master so far. If he could defeat an opponent of this caliber for his master, what an honor that would be!

"Dark Domain!"

The power of darkness was released, spreading rapidly. The black aura quickly expanded, but it failed to form a spatial domain. Everyone remained within the asura battlefield, amidst the sea of corpses and the blood-red sky. However, after the dark aura washed over this space, it noticeably dimmed, and the oppressive feeling was significantly weakened.

Domains varied in strength. When a weaker domain encounters a stronger one, the former gets suppressed while the latter gets weakened. Under Duke Bachor's suppression, the Dark Dragon King could not utilize his domain abilities at all. This indicated that Duke Bachor's domain was more potent than his! However, the asura domain was also weakened. The most evident manifestation was the disappearance of four to five hundred out of the thousand blood skeletons that ignored defenses due to the dark erosion, with none of them being revived again.

Under the impact of the Dark Dragon King's domain, Duke Bachor's domain was weakened by nearly half.

"Not bad! As expected from a monarch of dragons!"

"To actually weaken my domain this much! It seems you're one of the best among the Level 5 monarchs!"

"If we were at the same level, I might not necessarily be able to handle you. But I've advanced to Level 6 twenty years ago. How can a mere Level 5 monarch like you contend with me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Duke Bachor was a Level 6 monarch!

"Hmph, no wonder a mere human can suppress me," sneered the Dark Dragon King. "But even if you have the power of a Level 6 monarch, it won't be easy to kill me today!"

Duke Bachor was astonished. After experiencing the domains, the Dark Dragon King could not possibly be unaware of the gap between them. Why was he still so confident? Did he have some hidden trump card he had not used yet? But that was impossible!

Regardless, as the Grand Duke of the southern territory, leaving the main city at this time was already highly inappropriate. This battle had to be swift; there could not be any wastage of time. No matter what hidden card this black dragon had, the disparity beyond their levels could not be easily compensated. How could he, especially in a situation where he could not even use his domain, contend with himself?

"I'll show you!" Duke Bachor roared, his aura transformed into wings, soaring into the sky. At the same time, a black spear appeared in his hands.

"I'll deal with the Demon King! You go handle his lackeys!" he commanded.

"Understood!" Marquis Kregi promptly followed orders. The pressure from Duke Bachor alone exceeded that of all four of them combined. This cursed Demon King was finally doomed. Kregi knew he could not intervene in a battle like this. He immediately joined forces with the Hero, Xiang Nanfeng, to confront the draconian guards.

Xiang Nanfeng felt frustrated that he could not personally slay the Demon King, but at this moment, he could not afford such thoughts. Merely preserving his life today was already a stroke of luck.

"Die!" Duke Bachor thrust his spear. The Dark Dragon King had been preparing his fiery dragon breath for a long time. The scorching flames clashed with the energy waves of the spear, but the dragon could not dodge in time, resulting in a massive tearing wound.

-421!

Blood and broken scales scattered everywhere. Long Yi was already injured, and this intense attack from Duke Bachor was too much. Even with a dragon's robust physique, he could not endure this level of damage easily. The damage was too staggering!

Duke Bachor sneered, "Demon King, your luck ends here. In your current state, you won't last even ten rounds!"

Ten rounds might not sound like much, but for top-tier warriors, it was merely a few breaths' time. Long Yi looked extremely distressed, but his dragon eyes still burned with fighting spirit. He let out a deafening laugh, "Good! Good! Very good!"

"You think it's funny that you're about to die?"

"Indeed, I find myself incredibly fortunate. Although I knew I'd lure in many big fish with this net, I never expected to snare someone as significant as you."

"What!?" Duke Bachor was not stupid. He had sensed something amiss since the beginning. What was the true strength and reliance of this black dragon? Regardless, there was no time to think about it now. Killing him swiftly was the priority!

Duke Bachor's mind issued a command, and the five hundred asura blood skeletons disappeared. Instantly, they reappeared all around the Dark Dragon King. Over five hundred blood-red longbows were raised simultaneously, ready to launch a volley, while at the same time, Duke Bachor's spear was poised, ready to strike.

"The Demon King is finished!" Xiang Nanfeng and Marquis Kregi thought, understanding that the battle was now decided. The Demon King could never withstand the onslaught that Duke Bachor was about to unleash. Once the Demon King fell, the entire Demon King's army would quickly collapse.

However, just as they thought this, Duke Bachor suddenly sensed something. His face turned pale. "Not good!"

The lockdown of the monarch's domain was one-way; once trapped inside, escaping was extremely difficult. However, entering the domain from the outside was easy - anyone approaching would be sucked in. At this moment, two beings with powerful aura had entered the domain.

"Kregi!" Duke Bachor realized what was happening, but Marquis Kregi had not figured it out yet. A mutated Inferno Drake with seven heads suddenly teleported in front of him. Each head condensed a different elemental power - wind, fire, water, earth, light, darkness, and thunder.

"This is...!" Marquis Kregi's eyes contracted, his face filled with horror. It was too sudden, he could not react in time. The simultaneous onslaught of the seven elemental dragon breaths instantly shattered his shields. Before he could even scream, the powerful Marquis was reduced to nothing.

Moreover, at the same time, Xiang Nanfeng felt as if he was burdened by thousands of times the normal gravity. Even the air, usually unnoticed, now felt like thousands of lead blocks pressing down on him, making movement incredibly difficult. In the next moment, a burly figure appeared in front of him, covered in pale golden diamond-shaped scales, shining brilliantly. His entire body was enveloped in fiery Qi, all concentrated on a massive blade, unleashing a fully charged, long-anticipated strike.

This strike! Its power was even greater than his own full-powered attack! It indicated the strength of at least a Level 6 overlord! This was beyond Xiang Nanfeng's imagination. The Demon King was already in a dire situation! How could there be more hidden forces?

But the two newcomers' existence was a fact!

The giant blade had already descended. By the time Xiang Nanfeng reacted, he felt himself floating in mid-air, looking down at a headless body -- his own. At the same time, he sensed the overwhelming might emanating from his attacker, a formidable aura not inferior to the Dark Dragon King's.

Xiang Nanfeng finally understood the nature of his assailant. It was another Level 5 monarch-level entity! In his prime, he would not have stood a chance against such an opponent, let alone in his current weakened state and taken by surprise. To die by this opponent's hands was not a shameful one!

After Zhang San beheaded Xiang Nanfeng, he immediately let out a long howl, "Earth Domain!"

A violent shockwave swept through the asura domain, shattering eighty percent of the blood skeletons surrounding the Dark Dragon King into dust.

Another layer of monarch's domain!

It once again weakened Bachor's power! However, even with both Long One and Zhang San exerting their powers simultaneously, the effect generated was still not enough to fully counter Bachor's domain.

"Hehehe! What a sturdy domain! Truly worthy of being the Guardian Duke of the empire's southern border!" Li Si reverted from the inferno seven-headed drake form back to the appearance of a draconian priest, clad in a red scale robe and holding a long staff. "Now, how about this?"

As he finished speaking, he waved his staff. Li Si spoke in a deep voice, "Sacrificial Domain!"

In the next moment, it was as if glass was shattering! The asura battlefield disintegrated piece by piece! Everyone was swept into a massive sacrificial ground, a colossal altar rising from beneath Li Si's feet!

Bachor was filled with shock and horror. In comparison to the deaths of Xiang Nanfeng and Kregi, in comparison to his own asura domain being broken, what truly frightened the Guardian Duke was the sudden appearance of these two individuals---Zhang San and Li Si! There was no need for doubt! These two individuals were monarchs as well! How rare were monarchs? Especially monarchs of the dragon-kind! In such a small Chaos Forest, three Dragon Kings appeared simultaneously, which was absolutely unbelievable! It could be said that this was the first official appearance of the three titans of the Darkness City!

Under Li Si's activation of the Sacrificial Domain ability, any units who died within the domain, regardless of friend or foe, would automatically be sacrificed, replenishing the power of the altar. This made the draconian priest's abilities even more formidable. Under this power, the heavily injured Dark Dragon King rapidly recovered at an astonishing speed. By the time Bachor had finished being stunned, almost 80% of his injuries had already healed. All the effort they had put in earlier had gone to waste! Four of their top-tier powerhouses' deaths had been in vain!

When the three titans of the Darkness City gathered together, the powerful aura they emanated was enough to rival Bachor's.

"Bachor!" Zhang San roared, "Today is the day you die!"

The Dark Dragon King grinned wickedly, "I've already witnessed the abilities of the empire's Guardian Duke. Now, it's your turn to witness the power of the three Dragon Kings of the Darkness City!"
