Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

At the edge of the battlefield, the heavily wounded Ao Lie witnessed the terrifying scenes of Yuqing Xuan Immortal’s successive falls, the Abyss Demon General’s retreat, and the Profound Immortal being poisoned to death.

The huge Dragon Eyes were already filled with boundless fear and despair. All thoughts of revenge and dignity had transformed into a pure instinct for survival at this moment.

”Sea Split Guard! Protect me! Charge out!”

He endured the agony of his severed limb, letting out a hoarse roar in Dragon Language, and his massive Dragon Body struggled to soar into the air.

The remaining dozen-or-so equally injured elite Sea Split Guards let out a tragic dragon roar, igniting their Dragon Blood and transforming into resolute dragon shadows. Unafraid of death, they charged in Shen Fei’s direction, attempting a suicidal assault to gain a sliver of hope for Ao Lie.

”Chi You!” Shen Fei’s eyes were icy cold.

”Understood!” Chi You let out a sinister laugh. The enormous Demon Body that had just severely injured Burning Prison and Soul Lock suddenly turned, stepping across space in one motion, standing like a Demon God descending to block the charging path of the Sea Split Guards.

”Ants defying the heavens! Begone!”

The Tiger Soul Demon Saber didn’t even need to be swung. Merely the overwhelming Chaotic Demon Power mixed with the will of the [Void Emperor] erupted!

The leading Sea Split Guard elites appeared to crash into an invisible wall of bronze. Their Protective Dragon Gang shattered instantly.

The massive Dragon Body twisted and deformed with bone-crunching sounds, scales flying off, blood spraying wildly, screaming as they were knocked away, fate unknown.

The remaining Sea Split Guards’ momentum was forcibly halted by this horrific Demon Power, as if trapped in a quagmire, unable to advance an inch.

Simultaneously, Little Pu gently waved her delicate finger around Ao Lie, slicing through the space.

Crack—!

Countless deep, dark space rifts, edged with silvery light, appeared out of nowhere, crossing and overlapping to form an impenetrable ”Void Mark Trap” blade net around Ao Lie.

Any attempt to pass through would result in instant dismemberment by these defense-ignoring space rifts!

Ao Lie’s massive Dragon Body suddenly froze, the dark gold pupils shrinking with extreme fear.

He had no doubt that if he dared to move, he would be sliced to pieces by this invisible spatial blade net!

Swish!

A dark red demonic shadow flashed by, Chi You’s Tiger Soul Demon Saber, shrouded in Annihilation Demon Light, bearing cold, piercing killing intent, was firmly set against the Reversed Scale on Ao Lie’s fierce dragon neck! The blade emanated a destructive aura.

Making Ao Lie’s scales stand on end, the shadow of death had never been clearer.

”Uh...” Ao Lie let out a hoarse sound from his throat, his massive Dragon Body trembling violently with fear and humiliation, the Dragon Blood gushing from his severed limb, yet he dared not move.

The entire battlefield, as Ao Lie had a blade placed against his neck and the Sea Split Guards were suppressed by Chi You’s Demon Power, finally went completely silent.

The violent turbulent flow of the Void still howled, the fragmented pieces of the continent slowly floated, but all the sounds of slaughter, explosions, and roars disappeared.

Only the embers following energy annihilation drifted in the Void, along with numerous thoughts from the outskirts of the Void Divine Realm, penetrating the spatial barriers with shock, anger, and scrutiny.

Shen Fei stepped forward, his figure instantly appearing in front of Ao Lie’s giant dragon head, standing in midair.

His form seemed small before the massive Dragon Body, but his calm, unwavering gaze locked onto Ao Lie’s terror-filled dark gold pupils.

”Ao Lie.”

Shen Fei’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it penetrated the Void clearly, like a cold hammer of judgment, striking upon the heart of every observer, weighing heavily on Ao Lie’s Divine Soul.

”Elder of the East Sea Dragon Race, honored Profound Immortal.”

His words were steady, carrying a brutal frankness that stripped away all disguises.

”You, wielding the Dragon Race’s forbidden treasure [Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike], abruptly tore apart the ’Space-Time Anchor’ barrier and intruded into this deadly situation.”

”You, released the Profound Immortal’s Dragon’s Might, assaulting my camp’s defenses.”

”You, in front of everyone’s eyes, joined the Yuqing traitor and Abyssal Demons in attacking me!”

With each sentence Shen Fei spoke, Ao Lie’s massive Dragon Body would tremble, the fear in his eyes growing deeper.

”You tell me,” Shen Fei’s voice suddenly turned stern, like thunder erupting from the Nine Heavens, imbued with boundless anger and questioning, resonating throughout the universe:

”Do these actions represent your East Sea Dragon Race declaring war on all the beings in the Dao Realm? On the Human Emperor Palace? On all the cultivators fighting against the Abyss in defense of the heavens?!”

”Is your East Sea Dragon Race intending to imitate Yuqing’s rebellion, betraying the Dao Realm’s pact, and colluding with the Abyssal Demons in a traitorous act?!”

”Speak!!!”

The final shout, like a tangible Spiritual Shock, slammed into Ao Lie’s chaotic and terrified Divine Soul.

”No! It’s not! I didn’t! The East Sea Dragon Race has no such intention!” Ao Lie, like a cat with its tail stepped on, raised his massive dragon head abruptly, vociferously denying in a voice trembling with fear.

”It was a trap! It was that wench Ao Ling! She set me up! She deliberately leaked false information to lure me here!

She wanted to kill by using others’ hands! Shen Fei!

It is you who conspired to harm me! The East Sea Dragon Race was framed! Dragon King... Dragon King, please understand!”

He babbled incoherently, his huge Dragon Eyes filled with the despair of being wronged and a desperate attempt to clear himself, even trying to call upon the Dragon King.

However, his defense appeared so pale and powerless in the face of the ironclad facts.

Shen Fei’s lips curled into a cold arc, devoid of any warmth, only an indifferent dominance over everything.

”Framed? Set up?”

He slowly raised his hand, pointing to the battlefield image screens projected everywhere by Little Pu’s Space-Time Anchor points in the Void, his voice spreading in all directions:

”The countless fellow Daoists of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds have witnessed with their own eyes! You, Ao Lie, breached the formation first, assisted the enemy afterward, and attacked me publicly!”

”Save your words for all fellow Daoists in the Dao Realm to hear!”

Shen Fei’s gaze swept over the remaining Sea Split Guards, suppressed and wounded by Chi You’s Demon Power, then returned to the ashen-faced Ao Lie.

Finally fixing on his massive severed forelimb wound, with Dragon Blood still oozing, and the [Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike] that had fallen beside him, dull and lifeless.

”Severing one of your claws is but interest. This spike, as proof of treachery, shall be temporarily held by the Human Emperor Palace!”

With these words, Chi You let out a sinister laugh, nudging the Tiger Soul Demon Saber’s blade placed against Ao Lie’s neck, causing the Annihilation Demon Light on the blade to flicker.

”Roar——!”

Ao Lie let out a wail of utmost pain and despair, his massive Dragon Body convulsing madly, yet he dared not resist in the slightest.

The residual Chaos Demon Qi at his severed massive limb wound frantically corroded, preventing any possibility of healing, like an eternal brand of shame.

With a wave of her delicate hand, Little Pu summoned the Power of Space, encompassing the heavy, ancient [Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike] and Ao Lie’s severed huge Dragon Paw, covered in Dark Gold Scale Armor.

In an instant, they were enveloped by the invisible Power of Space and disappeared.

Taken into Shen Fei’s storage pouch.

”Take him away! Guard him strictly! When we return to the Human Emperor Palace, further judgment will be passed!” Shen Fei ordered coldly.

Chi You extended his massive hand, grasping Ao Lie’s scarred dragon neck like a chick, terrifying Chaos Demon Qi flooding into his body, sealing all his power in an instant.

The remaining Sea Split Guards were also ensnared by the Returning Void Petal of the Saintess, like prisoners awaiting slaughter, being bound by the Power of Space and dragged together.
