Chapter 500 – General Dolai is Invincible

The night enveloped everything, pitch-black to the point where not even a finger could be seen. Leaping flames, flickering lightning, and all other sources of light were drowned in this boundless darkness.

This was natural.

After ascending to the ‘Lord of the Night Crow,’ although Sophia’s abilities were focused on the ‘Black Crow,’ she herself had also stepped into the Dao of Night. She naturally grasped the concept of darkness, and the power of this concept was not weak.

However, mere darkness could not intimidate the ferocious monster Legends.

Though their vision was obscured, their Domains still erupted violently, only slightly surprised by the overwhelming coverage of this night.

At this moment, the Nethercrow Storm, formed by the sacrifice of countless Black Crows, rolled forward like a moving calamity.

Yet, compared to the Heaven-Earth power gathered by over a hundred Legends, this terrifying black storm still seemed insufficiently vast.

Sophia was merely at the Peak of the Heaven-Earth Realm.

No matter how extraordinary she was, the tempest she stirred could never rival that of a Legendary army.

However…

「Prompt: Your Epic Skill ‘Nethercrow Storm’ has been enhanced through evolutionary baptism. The storm now possesses the ability to Devour and absorb energy. It has a stronger Devouring effect on shadow-type energy and a weaker effect on Holy Light, thunder, and fire elements.」

This was an upgrade Sophia had obtained from her recent legendary evolution.

Coincidentally, most monster Legends excelled in using blood-type energy. For the Nethercrow Storm, blood-type energy happened to be one of the elemental energies easier to Devour.

The black cloud covering several kilometers collided with the abundant, massive, and violent Heaven-Earth power filling the air.

The pure and violent Heaven-Earth power shattered, like a giant wave breached at one point.

But the rolling black cloud also exploded violently, with countless Black Feathers turning to dust at the frontal impact. The storm stalled, violent turbulence surging in all directions.

The Legends could ‘see’ that a large portion of this black storm had been torn apart.

“There are too many monster Legends. In a head-on clash, there’s no way we can win.”

The Battle Armor General who had come to aid clenched his fist. “But to delay the enemy, we must choose this direct approach, even if it’s like an ant trying to shake a tree…”

Before this thought could fully form,

the black storm, already torn apart in a large section, began to Devour the surrounding shattered and chaotic Heaven-Earth elements. The entire black storm visibly expanded, growing larger and spinning faster.

When the night’s shroud could no longer be maintained, what appeared before the eyes of everyone and every monster was a terrifying storm connecting the sky above and the earth below, stretching endlessly to the left and right.

The massive storm of Death had already swept up the few monster Legends at the forefront.

They wailed, they screamed.

The Goldblade Grand Duke was also at the front of the formation. Gazing at the overwhelming Nethercrow Storm surging toward him, he slashed into it with his hook-like Dragon Claw.

He tore open a gash over a kilometer long.

But the storm continued to roll forward.

“Tch!”

“Orders: Flank from both sides!”

The Goldblade Grand Duke unleashed several hundred-meter-long golden blade rays while gradually retreating.

Dozens of seconds later, the Nethercrow Storm could no longer sustain itself and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only a few Black Feathers and remnants of black hurricanes drifting about.The monstrous Legends that had crossed realms with overwhelming force were forced to halt their thunderous assault.

Several Legendary Realm beings were severely wounded, though the other monster Legends remained unharmed.

The monster army’s combat strength remained largely intact, but their formation had scattered, with increasing distances between individual units.

“Awooo!”

Sickle Moon, who had long been poised for action and shared perfect synergy with Sophia, was the first to charge forward.

She had been crouching on the platform at the mountain peak’s edge, and now she launched herself with explosive force from all four limbs, treading upon streams of moonlight in mid-air. Like a silver wolf skimming across a lake and leaving circles of pure white ripples, she closed in on a Gnoll Legend in the blink of an eye.

“Schlick—”

Her fingers transformed into wolf claws, moving with the speed of lightning as they slipped past the Gnoll Legend’s raised dual sabers, brushing lightly against its bulging chest before retracting instantly.

It was merely a light touch.

Yet the massive Gnoll’s entire torso exploded, spraying blood in all directions, while the Gnoll Legend still wore an expression of stunned disbelief.

It was too fast!

Like light itself!

To Sickle Moon’s sharp eyes, each flying droplet of blood seemed to hang motionless in the air. While the blood was still spraying, she already stomped on the moonlight, pivoting sharply to pounce toward another target nearby.

Her mouth stretched wide, revealing sharp teeth. Violent gusts of wind battered against her, whipping her silver short hair into disarray and distorting her delicate features into a blurred mask under the extreme speed.

Charge! Charge! Charge!

Guided by instinct, Sickle Moon lunged toward the nearest figure.

A crimson Dragon.

The crimson Dragon had gained precious moments to prepare. It roared, gathering clouds of blood mist around itself as the power of heaven and earth converged, causing its Aura to surge rapidly.

The wolf-tailed girl had already arrived.

Sharp eyes met crimson vertical pupils.

“Die!”

The Dragon roared.

At that moment, moonlight enveloped the girl’s body, and in an instant, she transformed into a noble, sacred Moon Coronet Giant Wolf.

Moonlight cascaded like a crown upon her form. Her speed skyrocketed once more as she vanished into the moonlight and reappeared—now behind the crimson Dragon.

The Moon Coronet Giant Wolf’s claws struck out. A fountain of blood erupted, splattering across her sacred silver form, staining it with specks of predatory crimson.

She was slaughtering.

…

“Open fire!”

At the mountain peak, the prepared defenders—General Xie Yi and the Frost Dragon Sario—seized the opportunity to strike.

Cannons roared.

The Dragon of Death unleashed a mist of frost and demise.

Nearby, the Battle Armor General, though not from Tianyuan City and lacking their tacit understanding, relied on his extensive combat experience to recognize the opening mere moments later.

“Battle Armor Body Integration, slash!”

The Elf Legend Mirena, equally experienced, also launched her attack without hesitation.

“This old man will lend a hand as well.”

It was the Giant Legend, the Frost King.

One powerful being after another gathered here, launching a desperate counterattack against formidable foes.

The pillar of their strength was Sophia!

She had declared her power with a storm of death.

Now, she summoned every remaining—or rather, newly created—combat Nether Crow at her disposal. Pouring her consciousness into them, one Nethercrow Sophia after another materialized.

A hundred-meter-long dark claw blotted out the sky;

Terrible black flames that never extinguished rose from both hands;

Newly woven Black Crows circled around her form;A dozen Sophias stood firm in mid-air, each possessing their own unique skills, with even the weakest among them capable of holding their own against monster legends in direct combat.

“An incredibly powerful Tianyuan General, and one who had remained obscure until now.”

Despite the intensity of the battle, the Battle Armor General couldn’t help but steal a glance.

He seemed to be witnessing the rise of another top-tier expert, ascending like the blazing sun.

However,

but…

Although the Tianyuan City Sophias were strong, and though they themselves were not weak, they were still insignificant compared to the hundreds of monster legends.

Moreover, among these hundreds of monster legends, there were no shortage of Peak Heaven-Earth Realm, Soul Realm, and even Hunting Grand Duke-level powerhouses.

A golden streak shot across the sky.

Black feathers drifted and withered.

One Nethercrow Sophia didn’t even have time to dodge before being bisected at the waist by the golden saber radiance.

Hunting Grand Duke·Gold Blade!

In the distance, jade-green sand grains converged, forming a vast sea of sand that blotted out the sky. At the center of this sand sea stood another terrifying presence.

Hunting Grand Duke·Jade Sand!

Further away, there was an entity with the largest physique on the battlefield, sporting ferocious dragon horns and blood-red wings that verged on purple.

Hunting Grand Duke·Dragon Flame!

The Battle Armor General was no spring chicken, having traveled far and wide with his Lord for many years, possessing broad knowledge and rich experience. He identified each of these notorious, formidable enemies one by one.

“Three Hunting Grand Dukes!”

“To eliminate Tianyuan City, Dragon’s Slumber Valley actually dispatched three Hunting Grand Dukes—how is this possible!”

“Moreover, Dragon’s Slumber Valley came prepared. The moment the Heaven-Splitting Cataclysm occurred, these three Hunting Grand Dukes and hundreds of legends crossed domains to arrive.”

He looked to Sophia, Xie Yi, and the others, asking if they had any strategies.

After all, they couldn’t delay the enemy for much longer.

Holding out stubbornly wouldn’t achieve much.

And given the current situation, a full-scale evacuation of Tianyuan City was already impossible. They could only have the elite and core personnel scatter and flee, saving as many as possible.

For a Lord like the Tianyuan City Lord, who commanded numerous powerful subordinates, as long as the people remained, they could eventually rise again.

What he feared was that the Tianyuan City Lord might not plan to evacuate.

Stubbornly defending was definitely not the best strategy.

“We truly can’t hold out for much longer. If this continues, everyone here risks their lives.”

Sophia said.

Once the monster legends formed an encirclement, aside from her, few present would likely survive.

“But there’s no need to worry. Our current efforts are merely to wait for reinforcements, and the reinforcements have already arrived.”

Reinforcements?!

Mirena and the Battle Armor General’s spirits lifted.

“If there are reinforcements…”

Mirena knew that Tianyuan was an important Lord of Taixuan. If Taixuan experts came to aid them now, they would be saved.

However, the Battle Armor General was aware that many regions of the Taixuan Alliance were in peril, making reinforcements unlikely at this moment.

Nevertheless, a Lord like the Tianyuan City Lord was typically favored by the world. It wasn’t impossible for him to know some mysterious powerhouse and summon reinforcements.

Take Tianze City, for example. It was only because the Tianze City Lord had a close personal relationship with that Tian Shui White Dragon that he could invite the Dragon Venerable to reside in Tianze Lake, allowing the Tian Shui White Dragon to gradually become the regional Guardian Deity.

Perhaps the Tianyuan City Lord also…

This optimistic thought had just sprouted when it shattered the very next moment.

At the edge of their vision appeared a figure enveloped in lightning and storm.

The reinforcements for Tianyuan City, the confident reliance of Nethercrow Sophia, turned out to be just a single person.This person was no stranger to Battle Armor General.

Mirena also recognized him.

“…General Dolai?”

“General Dolai is the reinforcement? Only General Dolai?”

But the enemy had over a hundred legends and three Hunting Grand Dukes!

Could one person even be called reinforcement?

Even the ever-serious Battle Armor General found his thoughts in disarray.

Boom—

He was struck by a Soul Realm Dragon, plummeting from the sky and crashing into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Boom—

Mirena continuously dodged the enemy’s lethal attacks, yet her armor cracked and new wounds appeared on her body one after another.

Boom—

Sario was pounced on and bitten by several blood-red Dragons, falling from the air.

Boom—

The mechanical weapons around Xie Yi were destroyed one after another, flames rising and spreading incessantly.

At this moment, thunder roared and hurricanes howled.

Dolai had arrived at the battlefield.

To reach the battlefield as quickly as possible, it had used its over-limit state for travel. Just this short burst of flying had consumed a full twenty percent of its energy.

But it was not late.

The monster legends had long since set their sights on it.

This human legend coming to reinforce might not be weak, but they were stronger.

They were more than happy to surround and kill a powerful human legend right now.

Immediately, over a dozen monster legends slowly surrounded Dolai in a crescent formation, led by a Soul Realm Dragon over two hundred meters long.

Amidst the encirclement of powerful enemies, Dolai’s expression remained unchanged.

Its gaze swept across the battlefield, and the usually cheerful face gradually showed signs of anger.

Around them, the energy of heaven and earth had grown increasingly violent, and blood-red waves, manipulated by over a dozen legends, were gathering and rolling in.

Tens of meters, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters…

“I declare, heaven and earth shall be silent.”

It spoke, pressing its hands downward, its stern gaze sweeping across the entire area in that moment.

An invisible Domain instantly enveloped an area spanning hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, and even farther.

The perfect Domain descended!

Heaven and earth ceased their conflict at this moment.

The chaotic, even violent elemental particles, the constantly leaping elemental particles, all came to an abrupt halt. The turbulent world seemed to be smoothed over by a pair of divine hands.

The swarming, gathering blood-red particles vanished.

In the distance, the continuously gathering blood-red wave, already over a thousand meters high, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The wind stilled, the clouds stilled.

Dolai, however, did not calm down.

Its gaze remained fixed on the enemies before it, and its downward-pressed hands slowly clenched inward.

“Break.”

It whispered.

Like crushing foam, the Domains of the over a dozen monster legends surrounding it cracked without warning, then shattered completely, as fragile as porcelain.

Only the Domain spread by the Soul Realm Dragon merely cracked, teetering on the brink but still holding on.

Though the Domain was still holding, the Soul Realm Dragon’s pupils trembled violently.

“This power…”

He didn’t understand!

He felt as if the entire heaven and earth were rejecting him.

He was fighting against the whole of heaven and earth. He was powerless to resist!

What kind of power was this?

It was the power to command heaven and earth, to rule over it, to dominate it.

Dolai ignored the surroundings, its lightly clenched hand slowly rising again.

As its palm lifted, the previously dormant elemental energies of heaven and earth began to rise once more.

Soar!

Boil!

It held heaven and earth in its palm, and heaven and earth boiled within its grasp.

This was the power of the perfect Domain.

“Rise.”

Wind and clouds changed in an instant. Under the blood-red stained sky, a Hand of the Sky blotted out the sun, spanning tens of thousands of meters.The rolling mountain ranges and the surging rivers appeared minuscule beneath this Hand of the Sky.

The Hand of the Sky restrained the entire world.

It swept downward.

As if scooping up a few grains of river sand, it gathered over a dozen legendary figures surrounding it, along with several nearby monster legends, into its grasp.

And crushed them directly.

Snap~!
