Chapter 982 689: Domain of Devotion
The gorging giant beasts thunderously sprinted towards this place, the ground shaking more and more violently. Li Zheng struggled to stay upright and had no choice but to unfold the Demon Thunder Wings and fly off the ground.
"How many years has it been," the Blood Queen sighed, gazing at the massive body of the Black Dragon Ancestor. "I can no longer recall how long it's been since I last saw the old thing's true form. I almost forgot he could crush me with a single step."
The gray-haired woman glanced at her sideways and smirked, "How are you able to say that with a straight face? It seems your skin has thickened considerably after all these years as the queen of the Blood Race."
The queen rolled her eyes at her, "Our race has pale skin, though we once fed on fresh blood for sustenance... we have very little blood within our own bodies. Blushing is a high-difficulty action for our race, even I can't manage it."
"..." The gray-haired woman grumbled, "Is that really something to be proud of?"
The queen said earnestly, "I'm merely stating the facts."
"Uh..." The gray-haired woman didn't want to continue talking to her. This ability to speak seriously on frivolous topics was something she was not accustomed to.
"Old Black Dragon has held back for too long; he must be feeling suffocated, and now he finally has a chance to vent."
The queen deeply agreed, "Yes, we've all been holding back for too long."
No sooner had she said this than the concealing clothing on the Blood Queen suddenly shattered, and from beneath her cloak emerged a supermassive bat beast, its size not at all inferior to the Black Dragon Ancestor.
It was called a bat beast because she was no longer the same as the legendary bat incarnate of the Blood Race; indeed, she resembled more a manta ray that would only appear in the deep sea.
Only now did Li Zheng understand the meaning behind the gray-haired woman's earlier words.
For the Black Dragon Ancestor to crush the Blood Queen with one step... would be quite difficult.
By this time, the Black Dragon Ancestor was already engaged in battle with those gorging giant beasts. He didn't use any techniques; relying solely on his true form's power, he could sweep away a large swath of the gorging giant beasts.
In front of the Black Dragon Ancestor, those gorging giant beasts were like fragile chickens; one step would turn a large swath of them into minced meat, with their very solid magic crystals embedded at the bottom of the flesh, requiring someone to dig them out.
The battle here attracted more gorging giant beasts, coming in overwhelming numbers, seemingly endless, as if they could never be completely exterminated.
The Blood Queen also joined the fight. Once both of them revealed their true forms, they stood like two mountains before Li Zheng, preventing any gorging giant beast from breaking through their defense in a short period.
"Don't waste them," the gray-haired woman whispered to herself. Without any visible movement, she vanished from sight.
Even Li Zheng couldn't catch her figure, completely unable to keep track!
He was inwardly alarmed: "Even these three powerful leaders can only remain in the Wilderness and dare not venture deeper into the Sin Domain..."
He gazed afar: "What is there, really?"
Could there be twisted creatures strong enough to challenge the three leaders?
Why do they occupy this area and never launch an assault on the Golden Light Zone?
Li Zheng suddenly recalled the encounter with Nato in the Fourth Sin Domain—at that time, their underlings should have reached approximately the same distance, attracting a batch of twisted creatures near the Golden Light Defense Line.
"So many twisted creatures, if they stormed the Golden Light Defense Line all at once, they should easily break through... But no!" Li Zheng's heart leaped: "Even these three leaders have such strength, and the Celestial Dragon Race is more battle-hardened and warlike. There must be beings within their race of equivalent power!"
The twisted creatures of the Sin Domain, by occupying the rear and not assaulting the Golden Light Defense Line, might indeed be wary of the true master strategists of the Celestial Dragon Race.
The existence of the Golden Light Defense Line must have its special features.
Before he could ponder further, a strange sound caught his attention.
It was the gray-haired woman, reappearing around the two, navigating back and forth among the Black Dragon Ancestor and the beasts, extracting and accurately tossing one Purple Magic Crystal after another to his feet.
"...Alright, it seems the main reason they called me here was to serve as a porter." Li Zheng groaned as he bent down to pick them up one by one, purifying the evil thoughts within them and collecting them into capsules.
In the Sin Domain, fighting ability is never the most important thing.
No matter how strong one's fighting power is, without corresponding spiritual power and willpower to resist the environment, they will ultimately fail against the twisted creatures.
The Black Dragon Ancestor and the Blood Queen had unparalleled combat strength, but as time went on, their movements grew more labored, each attack a struggle against the pervasive interference.
Li Zheng moved closer, signaling to the gray-haired woman not to throw the magic crystals too far, and released his spiritual power to surround the Black Dragon Ancestor and others, helping to alleviate their burden.
His total spiritual power was astonishingly vast, but his body limited its use—employing too much would harm his physical form.
Thus, after assisting the two in advancing about a hundred kilometers, he finally reached his limit, starting to feel strained.
Continuing further would mean using too much spiritual power, and his body would begin to collapse.
Yet he couldn't retract his spiritual power. If he withdrew it, the Black Dragon Ancestor and others would immediately go mad, completely infected by the Gluttony Sin Domain.
They had already exceeded the range they could endure. At this moment, it was only with Li Zheng's help that they barely managed to hold on.
The Black Dragon Ancestor swung his body and tail, sweeping away a swath of gorging giant beasts. By then, they were facing super gorging giant beasts whose sizes were nearly equivalent to his and the Blood Queen's; they couldn't be easily killed anymore.
