The true dragon breath was countless times stronger than the Black Dragon Emperor’s saliva. It was not corrosive, nor was it breathing out fire. It was a destructive energy that only a real dragon possessed!

It was like fire, but it could freeze everything within a thousand miles. It was like poison, but it was clean and pure!

The dragon’s neck burst open, as if the dragon breath was going to burn right through it.

However, the Black Dragon Emperor still persisted in using his dragon breath. Everything caught by his breath would perish into nothingness!

Su Lu could feel the Black Dragon Emperor’s wrath from that breath.

He had made a smart move by disabling the Black Dragon Emperor’s strongest ability. He was overwhelmed by fear when he saw the Black Dragon Emperor trying to use the dragon breath, even though the dragon might end up killing himself too!

Did Su Lu really think he could subdue a real dragon? When would humans ever obtain a power on par with a real dragon’s breath?

—

Su Lu almost died to the first dragon breath.

A green light was circling him. It seemed to be an outstanding magical artifact that was healing him from the spring of life.

However, the power of the dragon breath continued to burn him.

A real dragon’s breath would never dissipate. The Black Dragon Emperor was also struggling to put out the flame in his throat after using his dragon breath.

The dragon breath was killing Su Lu, but it was also slowly taking away the Black Dragon Emperor’s life!

It seemed like the Black Dragon Emperor did not want to give Su Lu any chance of living. He was trying to kill Su Lu at all costs.

He was about to use his dragon breath again!

The Black Dragon Emperor’s neck had already split open. Both the dragon breath and the poison that had filled his throat were leaking out of the gash.

Asha’ruiya’s eyes reddened when she saw the Black Dragon Emperor’s crazy move.

The Black Dragon Emperor was going to kill himself. However, the Black Dragon Emperor did not regret it if he could destroy Su Lu!

“Stop, stop it! You stupid dragon!”

Su Lu was enraged. His body had just healed a little, but he would surely die to the next wave of dragon breath.

Su Lu was already at the brink of death. The dragon breath was far scarier than a Forbidden Curse. The deadly flames lingering in the area were slowly taking away his life!

Su Lu had prepared some tricks to drag on the battle. Once the restraint was gone, he had a chance to win the duel.

He did not expect the Black Dragon Emperor to be so reckless. The Black Dragon Emperor was not going to stop, even if he was going to kill himself!

—

The Black Dragon Emperor unleashed his third dragon breath. The whole tile was already on the verge of collapsing.

The dragon breath spread out like a black sea of flames. The Black Dragon Emperor’s power had already surpassed the limit of the barrier.

Su Lu stood in the sea of flames. He was struggling fiercely while cursing at the top of his lungs, but he stopped making sounds as time went by. His body also stopped moving.

The green-glowing magical Artifact that had been healing him was destroyed by the dragon breath. Su Lu had turned into a charred corpse.

He was not willing to fall to the ground, and remained standing after he died.

His eyes were gone. Only a black skull with a terrified expression on it remained.

—

The Black Dragon Emperor had also reached his limit after using the dragon breath three times.

The dragon breath surged into his throat uncontrollably. It was burning his stomach and organs. His body swayed like he was going to collapse at any second.

Asha’ruiya looked at the Black Dragon Emperor. Her eyes were full of tears, but she could not say a word.

The Black Dragon Emperor had managed to kill Su Lu, but he was also on the brink of death too.

The last black dragon in the world would soon be gone!

“Go, you no longer have to suffer. Go to the Thousand Cliff Dragon Mausoleum and find your people. You don’t have to wait anymore. You won’t be alone anymore. It will bring you happiness,” Asha’ruiya murmured, like she was bidding farewell to the Black Dragon Emperor.

The Black Dragon Emperor did not put up any struggle. He laid down as his own dragon breath slowly burned him into ashes.

He died a peaceful death, as if he had gone back to his den to sleep.

The Black Dragon Emperor was covered in wounds, and his soul was damaged. He stared at Mo Fan, Asha’ruiya, Mu Bai, and Sharjah as he was consumed by the black flames.

He seemed to be conveying his gratitude to them for giving him a chance to die a noble death. He was no longer an evil dragon who had lost his mind and pride after he was enslaved by Su Lu.

The Black Dragon Emperor was gradually reduced to a huge skeleton. Those bones soon crumbled and scattered across the ground, still covered in the inextinguishable dragon breath.

—

The Lord of Darkness had already left. He was not very satisfied with the outcome.

However, the Lord of Darkness kept his promise. A corridor had appeared at the end of the chessboard. It was the way out of the Dark Plane!

Mo Fan gave Asha’ruiya a hand while she was still grieving, helping her towards the corridor.

The others followed them. Mo Fan, Asha’ruiya, and Sharjah were soon lost in the crowd.

Some of the people were pawns who had survived. Some were the prisoners who had been trapped in the black forest. The Lord of Darkness had indeed released them.

The corridor was quite crowded, but everyone’s face was filled with joy, as they were able to see the light again.

——

Mo Fan was completely worn out after the battle.

He found himself on the shore of the Red Sea after he reached the end of the spatial corridor.

The light of the setting sun was shining upon the sea. The sea breeze was cool and relaxing. Mo Fan took a deep breath, trying to cleanse the filth from his lungs.

“It was a long and dark journey,” Mo Fan found himself saying.

“We did stay in the Dark Plane for a long time,” Sharjah said with a serious face, looking at the sunset.

“It was just a metaphor,” Mo Fan half-laughed.

Some dreams felt like centuries had passed after one woke up. They had only spent around eight days in the Dark Plane!

“It does feel like we were gone for a long time,” Asha’ruiya said after noticing something.

“It has been a year.”

“Yeah, roughly a year.”

The two women sounded quite confident.

Mo Fan was utterly confused. He looked at the sunset, but the sun had already sunk below the horizon.

“You’re kidding. It’s only been a few days. There’s no way it has been a year,” Mo Fan protested softly.

“There’s a theory about the timestreams of different dimensions. Even though time is flowing at the same rate in two different planes, when we cross from one dimension to the other, time will flow at a different rate….” Sharjah went on.
