Chapter 8 – Purgatory Ascension: Questions at the Peak

Waves surged several zhang high, their churning crests blooming like flowers.

With its distinctive ferocious grin, the Dragon King straightened its body and swiftly dove into the ocean currents!

At this moment, the Fallen Angel was fully occupied resisting the aquatic dragon’s assault, its Holy Sword even cast aside—a truly perilous predicament.

Witnessing this, Ye Kuang dared not be careless. He was intimately familiar with the passive abilities of these divine races.

The Fallen Angel clan stood as paragons among them, possessing not only various innate monstrous capabilities but also the means to convert others’ life force for their own use.

If he rushed in recklessly now, he would inevitably plunge himself into danger.

Though the enemy remained motionless for now, that did not guarantee continued inaction.

With this realization, Ye Kuang intensified his water-splitting force. The currents began swirling inexplicably, quickly spiraling beyond control.

Water, typically gentle, now sharpened like blades’ edges here, carrying a bone-chilling keenness.

Crunch… Bang!

The Fallen Angel’s pair of wings were instantly shredded into fragments, scattering like stardust before dancing upon the waves…

Zuo Xiaotian’s eyes flickered at the sight, though the cold smirk on his lips remained unchanged.

With a deft manipulation, the Fallen Angel abruptly gestured with one hand, causing the Holy Sword to break free from the aquatic dragon’s bindings and return to its palm.

Brandishing the sword’s sharp edge in a wild flurry, it remarkably dissipated the dragon’s breath attacks into nothingness.

Simultaneously, its figure abruptly shifted, thrusting the sword forward in a lightning strike.

In that instant, water currents parted to reveal a direct path, while the Holy Sword advanced unimpeded.

In response, the Dragon King twitched its beard and unleashed a torrent of Dragon Flame.

With its currently immeasurable magic reserves, how could it fail to leverage such advantage?

Roar roar roar!

The Dragon Flame poured forth unstoppably.

Hiss—BOOM!

When Holy Sword and Dragon Flame collided, they erupted in sky-shaking thunder, like deafening peals of lightning striking directly beside the ears.

The Dragon King immediately extended all four claws, stirring the cosmos as surrounding sea currents surged forth.

These waters seemed imbued with consciousness, transforming into countless tentacles that swarmed toward the opponent’s location.

Despite the Fallen Angel’s myriad techniques, deprived of magical energy for support, it could only remain helpless.

This granted the Dragon King the opening to strike!

Parting its jaws, the dragon spewed endless tidal waves, notably infused with countless tongues of Dragon Flame.

As water and fire intermingled, wind and thunder raged. Amidst chaotic crackling sounds, the entire screen transformed with turbulent shifts.

Only at this moment did it finally exhibit the domineering aura befitting the Dragon King.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiaotian finally showed alarm—he had forgotten that underwater was the Dragon King’s domain.

A single misstep had led to cascading errors!

He desperately manipulated controls to intensify attack frequency, yet the Fallen Angel remained unable to break free from the countless watery prisons.

And now, the Dragon King’s assault was fully prepared…

Dragon Flame roared forth, annihilating all in its path!

Roar roar roar!

The sea currents ahead were instantly pierced by this dragon’s fury, scattering in all directions to showcase its invincible wrath.

Zuo Xiaotian: “Damn it…”

But before his words faded, he watched helplessly as the dragon’s rage struck the Fallen Angel directly.

Hiss—BOOM…

The entire screen trembled incessantly, accompanied by lingering reverberations that kept the hall’s sound system roaring continuously.From this, it became apparent that the Fallen Angel’s health had dropped by a full third.

At this point, its health was less than half remaining!

Wang Yihe couldn’t help but sigh: “Who would have thought the Fallen Angel would make such a basic mistake… truly, man proposes but God disposes…”

Tie Guanxin remarked: “This was predictable. The real decisive moment of the battle is about to begin!”

The situation had completely reversed – one side retained four-fifths of its health with most of its magic power intact, while the other had only half its health left and zero magic power.

This sudden shift made everyone’s hearts grow heavy.

Because the situation had developed so rapidly that no one had time to process it.

Then, someone’s sharp scream broke the tense silence: “Heavens! The Dragon King is preparing to attack again…”

In that moment, tens of thousands of eyes focused on one spot once more.

They saw the Dragon King’s majestic form undulating as it opened its mouth, spewing endless waves – clearly preparing to unleash Dragon’s Roaring Wrath again!

Zuo Xiaotian shouted: “You think you can succeed with the same move twice!”

No sooner had he spoken than the Fallen Angel shot forward, instantly covering the entire screen with countless dark shadows.

These were clearly the angel’s afterimage clones.

Holy Sword, halt the Fallen Angel!

As Dark Radiance scattered in all directions, the sky filled with interweaving sharp edges, forming what appeared to be a sword net that descended to envelop everything.

Simultaneously, the Dragon King moved all four claws again, churning the seas as the surrounding ocean currents became its armor, protecting it at the center.

Ye Kuang murmured to himself: “Then let me show you… why I deserve to be called the Dragon King!”

His hands moved continuously, causing the Dragon King to shift through countless positions with such speed that countless golden dragon shadows appeared beneath the waves.

Ten thousand dragons emerging together, wrathful flames reaching to the heavens!

When one dragon flame pierced through the ocean currents and shot toward the screen, it shattered a cluster of afterimages.

Following this, countless dragon flames erupted simultaneously, turning the sea surface into a blazing inferno.

Dozens of terrifying fire pillars rose together, creating such a ferocious scene that the entire screen became obscured by steam.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiaotian’s expression grew increasingly grim – his hero had been forced back to its original form.

The Fallen Angel now stood at the edge of the screen, with less than one-fifth of its health remaining.

At such a disadvantage, he had no choice but to find a way to recover some health, and his gaze fixed directly on the Dragon King.

Ye Kuang chuckled: “Heh… thinking about recovering health and magic? Do you think I’ll give you the chance!”

As his words faded, thunder and wind swept across the entire screen. Changing his tone, he continued: “Come… witness my ultimate skill!”

Thunderous Fury Lightning Instant Kill!

As the wind phenomena gathered, clouds surged together, causing the screen to darken and blotting out the sun and moon.

When the heavenly thunder reached its peak, thunderclaps intertwined, leaving the sky filled with scattered clouds and the ground overwhelmed by raging waves.

Ye Kuang directly pressed the Attack button!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Countless clouds surged into the dragon’s mouth with incomparable speed.

Before the crowd could erupt into cheers to express their excitement, the dozens of speakers in the hall blasted the arena with sound.

Boom… Hummmmm!!!The entire hall was suddenly filled with this earth-shattering hum, leaving only countless roaring sounds in the venue.

On the entire screen, only one figure remained—the golden, resplendent form of the Dragon King!

The figure of the Fallen Angel, under the thunderous force, turned into scattered bubbles and vanished into ashes.

Tie Guanxin: “We won? We won! The former Dragon King has once again ascended to the throne of godhood!!!”

Wang Yihe: “Emo… an undeniable fact, irreplaceable in this realm!”

As their words concluded, the venue erupted into a cacophony of uproar.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Xiaotian stared blankly at the situation before him, his face filled with utter dejection.

Their purpose in coming today was to step on the myth of the past and ascend to the peak of hell, thereby achieving godhood. Yet, who could have imagined the outcome would be like this?

The glory of their War God Team would halt here. It wasn’t just a simple defeat in a game; they had lost everything they currently possessed—connections, sponsors, reputation…

He could already foresee the dire situation their War God Team was about to face!

Meanwhile, Ye Kuang, finally breathing a sigh of relief, walked toward the Jiaolong Team with a smile.

Long Feng, Long Yu, Long Lei, Long Dian, and Long Miao stepped forward one after another, sharing knowing smiles.

Ye Kuang took the microphone and roared, tearing through the air: “Who am I, the one crowned in hell? Tell this king loudly!!!”

His words instantly set the entire venue ablaze once more!

Jiaolong Team: “The Sea-Venturing Dragon, churning rivers and seas, turning heaven and earth upside down!”

Ye Kuang: “Who am I? I didn’t hear you!”

“The son of the Ye Family, Wolong!!”

Ye Kuang: “Who am I?”

“The unyielding iron bone of the Ye Family, Ye Kuang!!!”

Ye Kuang: “Stay humble… stay humble…”

Witnessing the near-chaotic scene, he couldn’t help but joke, though it only incited more frenzied screams.

Even after half an hour, the venue remained wildly exaggerated, the roaring crowd leaving a certain madman with much to reflect upon.

Today’s battle was also his final one. Having reached the peak of hell and achieved godhood, it was time to end it all—he would never step into this realm again!

With this thought, Ye Kuang grew even more resolute. He continued, “Everyone, quiet down! Taking this opportunity, I first apologize to all. From now on, there will be no more Dragon King in the hell realm. I am retiring!!”

What?

His words plunged the venue into a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang was deeply moved, recalling how he had once been the same.

He had witnessed countless veteran players fade away over the generations, and at this moment, pretending not to feel deeply moved would be a lie.

Ye Kuang: “To be honest, you never truly understand until it happens to you. After all, I’m almost twenty, and studies are important. Once this summer vacation ends, I must prioritize my education. This hell belongs to all of you enthusiasts. I’ve grown old—you are the new generation of Dragon Kings!”

Roar, roar, roar!

“You are the true Dragon King!!!”

“There is only one Dragon King—the son of the Ye Family, Ye Kuang!”

“Roar, roar, roar…”

Hearing the overwhelming uproar, Ye Kuang nearly shed tears but forced out two drops.

One for this final curtain call, and one for the brilliance that tomorrow would bring.He is the spokesperson of Purgatory, and also the undisputed choice for the Peak of Purgatory!

At this moment, he reached the Peak!

This scene witnessed his curtain call!

Drawing a perfect conclusion to his mobile gaming history…
