The Wraith-King raised its head and let out a defiant roar.

It gripped the giant bone blade with both hands, and the dense Law of Death compressed wildly along the edge of the blade.

Whoosh!

A pitch-black blade light, dozens of yards long, tore through the air and slashed down hard toward the golden fire dragon!

On one side was the ultimate holy flame.On the other was the pure Law of Death.

Boom—!!!

The moment they collided, it was as if a tiny nuclear bomb had exploded in midair.

Violent waves of energy turned into a destructive shockwave, sweeping madly in every direction.

The black ancient trees rooted at the edge of the rift for hundreds of years were ripped out of the ground by the blast and instantly shredded into wood chips that filled the sky!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The Divine Golden Sunflame was the absolute bane of all evil beings and undead creatures.

The Law of Death, which the Wraith-King was so proud of, melted under the golden fire like snow falling into boiling oil, giving off a sharp sizzling sound.

After only a brief struggle, the black blade light broke apart inch by inch.

The remaining golden fire dragon slammed hard into the bone blade.

The giant bone blade, said to be indestructible, was burned black by force, and even fine cracks began to appear across it!

"Roar!!!"

The Wraith-King felt a life-and-death danger it had never faced before, and it let out a furious roar that shook the soul.

It held nothing back anymore and suddenly drove the damaged bone blade into the white-bone ground beneath its feet.

Buzz—!

A circle of black ripples, visible to the naked eye, spread out from its body in an instant.

Death Domain, open!

Inside this pitch-black domain, every undead creature still alive within a hundred meters was mercilessly sacrificed in an instant.

Countless pale streams of soul light rushed wildly into the Wraith-King’s body.

Its body did not grow larger, but the deathly pressure coming from it increased several times over!

On its charred bone blade, strange and deep black flames of death burned once again.

The flames could even eat away at the surrounding space, making an ear-piercing sizzling sound.

"A domain? What a coincidence. I have one too."

Facing the suddenly stronger Wraith-King, Aiden did not retreat. Instead, he stepped forward.

A flash of extreme madness crossed his black eyes, and he suddenly spread his arms wide.

"Demon’s Domain, suppress!"

Boom!

An aura of the Abyss Demon, more evil and more overbearing than death itself, burst out from Aiden’s body.

The dark red Demon’s Domain spread out like an upside-down blood-colored bowl, smashing through the Wraith-King’s Death Domain by force!

Under this absolute pressure, the black death flames on the Wraith-King’s body suddenly froze, and its aura weakened at once.

But it was not over yet!

Aiden pointed one hand toward the sky. His Nocturnal Boots struck the ground hard, and his whole body shot into the air like a cannonball.

"Thunder’s Wrath!"

Crackle—!

The sky above the rift, once covered by auroras, was instantly filled with dark clouds.

Purple-blue bolts of wild lightning, as thick as water barrels, poured down like a storm and struck the Wraith-King with perfect accuracy!

Thunder was born for killing. It was also the form of the world’s righteous power.

"Awooo—!"

The Wraith-King was struck until every bone in its body shook violently. Countless blackened craters burst open across the surface of its dark-gold bones.

But in the end, it was still a top-level overlord above level 90. Enduring the terrible pain of the lightning strikes, it swung its bone blade wrapped in black fire and charged upward against the storm!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One man and one skeleton crashed into each other in midair.

There were no fancy tricks, no back-and-forth testing—only brutal, close-range slaughter!

Golden fire and black flames kept tearing at each other. Thunder and blade light clashed again and again.

They fought for a full three hundred rounds!

The aftershocks of their battle left the entire rift full of holes and cracks. It looked as if it could completely collapse at any moment.

Then, in the instant when the Wraith-King’s old strength had faded and its new strength had not yet risen—

"Got you."

A cold light flashed in Aiden’s eyes. His body twisted in midair at an impossible angle, dodging the sweeping slash of the bone blade.

In the next instant, he rushed forward and closed in on the Wraith-King’s huge rib cage.

At that moment, Aiden pushed the power of Magic Mastery to its limit!

On his right fist, all the Divine Golden Sunflame that had been spreading outward was forcibly compressed into a dazzling golden ball of light.

"Break!"

Aiden roared, and his fist slammed hard into the ribs of the Wraith-King’s chest!

Crack—!

The sturdy dark-gold ribs snapped in an instant.

The Divine Golden Sunflame, compressed to the extreme, exploded with full force right beside the Wraith-King’s beating crimson soul flame!

Boom—!!!

A round of golden sun burst open inside the Wraith-King’s body!

"No—!!!"

With one last sharp wail filled with despair and fear, the Wraith-King’s powerful five-meter-tall skeleton began to shatter from the inside out.

The violent golden flames instantly swallowed and purified its soul flame completely!

Crash...

Without Strength to hold it together, the massive skeleton collapsed like a falling building, breaking apart in a roar and turning into bone dust that rained down onto the ground.

The battle was won!

"Hah... hah..."

Aiden landed steadily from the air. His chest rose and fell hard as he gasped for breath.

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but the corners of his mouth lifted in a wild grin.

"That felt good!"

In this battle, there had been no tricks—only a head-on clash of pure power. It had been a complete and satisfying victory!

He glanced over the bone ash scattered across the ground, then fixed his eyes on the fist-sized undead soul core, shining with a dark-gold light.

Not only that, but where the Wraith-King had fallen, a large pile of dazzling high-level law fragments had also burst out!

Aiden did not hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he took all the law fragments and the priceless undead soul core into his storage.

Buzz!

As the high-purity Strength flowed into him, his soul power, already at the breaking point, rose once again!

In an instant, a clear feeling of control over life and death spread through his whole body.

"One hundred percent law understanding is right in front of me."

Aiden raised his head and looked greedily at the complete vein of law fragments on the cliff wall.

He did not rush to mine it right away. Instead, he took a deep breath and calmed the surging blood and energy in his body.

Then Aiden strode deeper into the Battlefield Forest.

...

After crossing the space passage from the Ancient Battlefield, Aiden now stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the Red Dwarves Clan’s lava hall.

Inside the hall, burning-hot magma flowed through deep cracks in the floor. The air was thick with the sharp smell of sulfur and gunpowder.

Aiden’s face was calm and cold. Facing countless doubtful and uneasy eyes, he gave a faint smile.

"You want proof? Then I’ll show you what a real divine treasure looks like."

Before his words had even faded, Aiden flicked his finger.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several delicate jade bottles appeared out of thin air, then burst apart in midair.

Crash—!

In an instant, a thick blood-red light spread wildly through the hall like a furious tide breaking through a dam.

It was not ordinary blood. It was condensed Crimson Blood, carrying a terrifying pressure!

The terrible crimson Strength turned into real blood-colored ripples and swept across the entire Undercity.

Buzz—!

Under the absolute pressure of that blood-red light, the boiling magma flowing along both sides of the hall actually froze solid and went dark in an instant!

The fire energy that had been raging wildly before now seemed to have met its natural king. It became so obedient that not even a single spark dared to appear.

At that moment, the temperature of the entire hall dropped sharply to freezing point!

"This... this Strength?!"

An old Red Dwarf minister suddenly stood up and stared hard at the blood-red light filling the air. His breathing instantly became quick and heavy.

"There’s no mistake! This is the source Strength that can suppress the Volcano Weapon Codex!"

"Only true Crimson Blood could have such overwhelming power!"

For a moment, all the Red Dwarf ministers under Malcolm were completely shaken. Their eyes were filled with passion and shock.

"Lord Aiden has brought back the true blood! He is the savior of our Red Dwarves Clan!"

"We are willing to swear our lives to Lord Aiden and restore the glory of the Red Dwarves!"

More than half of the powerful Red Dwarves dropped to one knee on the spot and shouted with burning passion.

However, on the other side of the hall, several high-ranking Red Dwarf officials with faint demonic energy around them looked grim and remained still.

They had already been deeply corrupted by the Demon Clan, and their fear of the Demon God had sunk deep into their bones.

"Hmph. It’s only a similar kind of energy. Who can prove this isn’t just a fake made by humans?"

"If we offend the Demon God Lord, our Red Dwarves Clan will face total destruction!"

These people feared the power of the Demon Clan. They began shouting back loudly, trying to shake everyone’s faith.

"Hahahahaha! Ignorant brat, how dare you use a fake to fool the world and steal honor!"

In the center of the hall, Demon Duke Ethan, who should have been killed by Aiden, now stood there as a demon soul projection burning with black demonic flames. He let out a sharp, cruel laugh.

He stared hard at Aiden, his eyes filled with deep hatred.

"In the name of the Demon God, descend!"

Ethan suddenly roared and madly burned the demonic power inside him.

Rumble—!

Above the hall, the void was torn open in an instant.

A huge phantom of the Abyss Demon God, hundreds of meters tall and blocking out the sky, slowly formed within the rolling demonic energy.

The Demon God looked down on all living beings. It released the suffocating pressure of a high-ranking Demon God, making countless Red Dwarves’ knees go weak. Many of them almost fell to the ground.

"I swear in the name of the Demon God!"

Ethan pointed at Aiden and roared with both anger and force:

"The true Crimson Blood has long been kept by the Demon God Lord in the Scarlet Skull Goblet inside the Demon God Temple!"

"What you brought out is nothing more than a cheap copy made by lowly humans, used to deceive our Red Dwarves Clan!"

The arrival of the Demon God phantom threw the Red Dwarf leaders, who had just become firm in their choice, back into doubt and fear.

"Is it real or fake? If it’s fake, our Red Dwarves Clan is finished!"

"If the Demon God is angered, who can bear the price?!"

For a moment, the two factions openly argued inside the hall. Some even drew their weapons, and the atmosphere grew ice-cold.

Just as the tension was about to explode—

A cold snort rang through the hall like rolling thunder.
