The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

The dragon’s appearance and devastating presence left hundreds dead. However, perhaps those who died had it easy.

This was because the moment the dragon made its appearance, those closer to it who didn’t die outright were reduced to boneless warriors.

The roar and pressure shattered every bone in their bodies, and on top of that, the dragon’s authority pressed down hard on them, causing both pain and helplessness to overwhelm them.

Some tried to use Teleportation Crystals to return to the moon and run for their lives, but nothing happened when they crush it. It was as if the moment the dragon appeared, space itself had been sealed.

Nyrela, who had been stopped by Rhazor from chasing after the Flame Dao Crystal, saving her from near annihilation, gritted her teeth, half thanking Rhazor for saving her life and half cursing the five beasts that had made her waste so much of her energy.

She could tell with certainty that, despite this dragon being just a Universal God like the five beasts she had killed, lasting a minute against it would be a miracle.

That was how helpless she felt, and that feeling was further intensified when, out of nowhere, a chilling breeze blew past her.

At once, her body began to turn to crystal.

Her eyes widened, and she was about to muster every ounce of her strength to run when white flames suddenly surrounded her, dispelling the freezing cold.

Turning her head, she saw Rhazor standing beside Amaru, the two of them calm and seemingly unaffected by the dragon’s suppression.

Rhazor gave her a wink, then looked at Amaru.

”Do you want to take it on, or should I?”

Amaru first let go of her glaive, which vanished into thin air. Then she smiled.

”I will handle it. Just go for the crystal the moment I occupy its attention.”

Rhazor nodded.

”Good luck then. I expect you to dominate this battle.”

Amaru nodded.

”I will do my best,” she added

She was a God King, while the dragon was a Universal God. That gap was vast enough for Amaru to be at a disadvantage.

However, she wasn’t a simple warrior herself. She had once been a Celestial who fought many battles like this. So she wasn’t about to panic.

Rhazor walked away from her side and approached Nyrela.

”Looks like your winning streak ends here, my lady,” Rhazor said with a grin, a sight that made Nyrela grit her teeth, but she said nothing.

She knew Rhazor was right. Her chances of winning the Flame Dao Crystal were very slim, so she might as well retreat and save herself the trouble.

”But fear not. While you lost this time, perhaps next time you will win. As for your mother, when she asks why you didn’t return with the Flame Dao Crystal, tell her an incredibly handsome man called Efad beat you to it. She would understand and perhaps even reward you.”

Rhazor patted her on the shoulder as if they were old friends and started walking toward the Flame Dao Crystal while everyone else remained suppressed by the dragon.

He had killed the two remaining Universal Gods sent after him by the Twisting Vine Forest.

While the battle itself wasn’t that devastating, considering his opponents had no real domains, bloodlines, or even divine essence of their own, the fact that he survived their combined attack made all the difference.

As for Fury, he had managed to severely injure the Shadow Oracle, causing the poor bastard to flee. However, Fury gave chase, something Rhazor had instructed him to do.

Qilin had also severely injured the God King, making the latter curse ever coming to the Devil’s Maw. He managed to escape, but it would take him some time to heal.

The Primordial Desolation Flame wasn’t a flame that could easily be defended against.

Basically, he was lucky Qilin didn’t go all out, since he was preserving his flame essence in case Rhazor planned to detonate more petals of the Lotus of Destruction.

As for Void and Nirvana, they managed to bring down the God King archer who had tried to take advantage of the battle between Rhazor and the three Fake Universal Gods to launch a sneak attack on him.

His arms and legs had been broken, and parts of his skin were charred. Void personally took her dear time roasting the poor bastard, making him curse ever accepting a mission to come after Rhazor.

If he had known Rhazor was that monstrous, he wouldn’t have dared come after him at all.

This was an eye-opener—oh wait, his eyes had been burned out, so perhaps it was a lesson for him to never dare come after someone as dangerous as Rhazor.

Rhazor smiled coldly as he watched his flame spirits display their prowess without even trying.

Just as he had promised, he would make sure they evolved from mere flame spirits into Primordial Spirits and also advanced to the Extreme Stage.

It wouldn’t be long before he himself became a Demigod, so he wanted them even more powerful and deadlier. Just like him, they weren’t being suppressed either.

The reason he wasn’t being affected was because of his Paragon Aura. It was the same kind of aura that made him fearless before the heavens.

Basically, if he didn’t fear the heavens, then there was no way a dragon could use Dragon Authority against him and expect it to work.

Just as he was approaching the dragon, it roared and unleashed a tail attack, twisting its colossal body as its tail whipped through the air, aiming to slam into Rhazor with devastating force.

However, Rhazor grinned and summoned the Lotus of Destruction, plucking one of the petals belonging to the Soul Fury Flame.

The moment the petal, which contained the absolute version of the Soul Fury Flame, appeared, he tossed it forward.

It collided with the tail, triggering a chaotic explosion.

A deadly soul attack slammed into the dragon’s soul, causing it to fly backwards and distance itself from Rhazor.

However, just before it could get far, another roar came from behind Rhazor.

Amaru transformed into her dragon form and unleashed a dragon breath attack, shooting a torrent of molten lava at the Black Dragon.

BOOOOOM!

The Black Dragon defended against the breath attack with a claw. Then, just as it had tried to do against Rhazor, it unleashed a deadly tail attack.

However, the attack swept through empty space, as Amaru was already upon the Black Dragon, her claws poised to strike.

Rhazor smirked and threw another Soul Fury petal, causing it to detonate beneath the Black Dragon.

This explosion unleashed another devastating soul attack, causing the dragon to lose its hold over everyone.

The moment it happened, many who weren’t injured much by the appearance of the Black Dragon rushed toward the Flame Dao Crystal.

However, Rhazor merely smiled, and his legs lit up with flames.

He had summoned [Nezha’s Wheels], and in an instant, his body vanished from sight like a blur, appearing directly before the Flame Dao Crystal.

However, instead of grabbing it immediately, he first scanned it to make sure there were no traps hidden within it.

After confirming it was clean, Rhazor reached forward and grabbed the crystal.

The moment he did, time came to a complete stop around him, and before he could blink, Rhazor found himself standing atop a mountain, face to face with a muscular man who possessed black dragon horns and long black hair.

”Finally...” the man muttered, a broad smile spreading across his face.
