Chapter 1778 - Crazed Devil (1) (1/2)

Yun Che slowly looked towards him as he spoke in a voice filled with disdain, “What? Is this lowly dragon trying to give me commands? If you want me to graciously bestow death upon you, you’ll have to beg for it.”

“...” Blood-colored lines began to slowly spread across the Ash Dragon God’s face.

After he had become a Dragon God, he had never begged or pleaded with anyone other than the Dragon Monarch himself. Besides the Dragon Monarch, there was no one else in this world who had the qualifications to hear him beg.

However, every single word that had come out of Qianye Ying’er’s mouth had plunged him into a hellish nightmare. No one would dare to do such a thing! No one would even be capable of doing such a thing! It was an action that would thoroughly enrage the Dragon God Realm, an action that went against both the laws of heaven and human morality, something which would provoke the condemnation of the world.

Yet Yun Che would!

Just a single look at the miserable state of the Eastern Divine Region was proof of that! Everything he had done today was proof of that! It proved that he did not have a shred of kingly dignity or decorum even though he had reached the level of the god emperors. He was clearly nothing more than a complete and utter lunatic!

He was both terrified and regretful. He truly regretted… regretted that he had chosen to provoke such a madman!

Once someone’s determination collapsed, their body would soon follow, and the Ash Dragon God now truly understood what the words “rather be dead than alive” meant at this moment.

“I beg...” His mouth trembled as it opened and closed more than a dozen times before he finally uttered the words that no Dragon God should ever have to say in this current era. “The Devil Master… to grant me death…”

These were the words that he had found the hardest to say in his entire life, the words that caused him the most pain.

However, that instant of monumental humiliation and shame soon gave way to a deep sense of relief. He even felt as if the pain in his body had lessened by several times and his dragon eyes slowly turned from scarlet to a dull and flat gray.

Everyone from the Southern Region was violently affected by what had just transpired.

Even so, Yun Che did not choose to mock the defeated and despairing Ash Dragon God. His face was completely impassive, as if everything that had just happened was supposed to have come to pass. He continued looking down at the Ash Dragon God before he said in a cold and indifferent voice, “Answer one final question. Who… is the true fool here?”

The Ash Dragon God had always been a wildly arrogant man, and he behaved in the same manner even when speaking to the god emperors of the other realms.

Even after he met Yun Che, he still displayed the same arrogance, aloofness, and contempt that he always did… because he was a Dragon God!

As a result, he had paid a price that he had never dreamed that he would have to pay.

Right, he was a fool. Now that they had reached this point, there was no way he was getting out of this alive. His death today would ignite the fiery rage of the Dragon God Realm… but it would also, without a single doubt, become the shame of the Dragon Gods, the shame of the Dragon God Realm.

“Very good.” Yun Che uttered a word of praise before he turned around and casually flung out a hand. “Kill him.”

“Yes!” The Three Yama Ancestors shouted at the same time. After that, their Yama Devil powers erupted from their bodies, covering the vast Southern Sea Capital in darkness.

However, they actually did not need to do such a thing. Because the Ash Dragon God had lowered all of his defenses after he had said those last few words. He had even withdrawn all of the fluctuating dragon energy in his body… because he only wanted a quick death now.

Bang!

In a single instant, the Ash Dragon God’s draconic body… the divine body of a Dragon God, something that the world recognized to be the hardest and most durable material in the world, exploded into dozens of pieces under the terrifying power of the Three Yama Ancestors like it was the body of an ordinary mortal dragon. A huge shower of reddish-black dragon blood poured down on the capital.

This scene rooted everyone’s feet to the ground and their eyes remained fixed on where the Ash Dragon God’s body had been, on the huge shower of dragon blood.

The four god emperors of the Southern Region had never seen a Dragon God die in such a terrible manner. As a matter of fact, even their grand ancestors, the original god emperors of the Southern Region, had not borne witness to such a thing.

However, the one who remained the most calm was the person who had orchestrated this mind-numbing event in the first place, Yun Che. He casually walked back to his own seat as he said in a languid voice, “I hope that I haven’t ruined everyone’s festive mood while I dealt with a piece of personal business. My imprudent actions have damaged this royal palace and I hope that the Southern Sea God Emperor will be magnanimous enough to forgive me.”

Yun Che’s calm and casual words made it seem as if he had merely squashed an ant which had been annoying him.

“...” Qianye Ying’er stared at him. Although she remained silent, her mind had started to churn furiously.

She had more or less guessed why Yun Che had come to the Southern Sea God Realm. It was just that she had never imagined that he would go this far.

Furthermore, she was keenly aware that Yun Che had not killed the Ash Dragon God for his rudeness… Even if the Ash Dragon God had paid Yun Che the same respect a grandson would have given his grandfather, Yun Che would still have found a “suitable” reason to kill him right here and now.

Droplets of dragon blood were still dancing in the air and everyone’s souls were seized by an uncontrollable shaking. The Ash Dragon God… One of the Dragon Gods, beings who stood on equal footing with the god emperors of the God Realm, had died just like that!?

There was no bitter and terrible battle. There wasn’t even much of a struggle. He had simply died in an incomparably casual… and humiliating manner.

They dumbly stared at the Dragon God’s battered corpse and Yun Che’s boundless black figure seemed to fill every inch of their quaking souls.

So this… was the Devil Master of the North! The person who had hurled the Eastern Divine Region into the depths of despair in less than one short month!

This was… that Eastern Region’s Yun Che, the boy who had been far too kind and pure for his own good?

What had just happened would undoubtedly shake the entire God Realm. However, with this single move, Yun Che had now formed a blood debt with the Dragon God Realm that could never be resolved. The Western Divine Region, which had played the role of the passive observer thus far, would certainly come to blows with the Northern Divine Region in the future.

As the Northern Region Devil Master, there was no way that Yun Che wasn’t cognizant of this fact. But he had not shown a single shred of hesitation or fear when he had decided to kill the Ash Dragon God.

The Southern Sea God Emperor slowly turned around, a faint smile on his face. “I just said that a proper gentleman should gladly pay back debts and vengeance alike, and the Devil Master’s actions can certainly be considered vengeance well exacted! I have no choice but to give you my respect.”

“Respect?” Yun Che asked dully. “The noble Southern Sea God Emperor actually knows this word? What a surprise.”

The Southern Sea God Emperor didn’t dignify Yun Che’s words with a reply. He suddenly flung his golden sleeve out and a hurricane spun into life, causing all of the rubble inside the hall to instantly disappear.

The Southern Sea God Emperor’s body then blurred before he reappeared sitting on his royal throne. The other god emperors and Sea Gods wore stiff and frozen expressions on their faces, but Nan Wansheng alone was wearing a small smile on his face. “Since the Northern Region Devil Master has resolved his personal matter with the Ash Dragon God, it is time to turn our attention to my Southern Sea God Realm’s grand event. So I ask all of my honored guests to take their seats once more…”
