Chapter 936 Dragon's Fall
Youfeng remained motionless.

The Balrog's voice gradually turned low and menacing: "You just want to watch us die, don't you?"

Youfeng merely let out a cold laugh.

Suddenly, the molten dragon in the distance let out a deafening roar, a long gash appeared on its body, and its entire tail was almost severed! The molten dragon turned its head back and spewed out a ball of magma, blasting a Heavenly Witch-level Flame Demon out of its stealth state.

Enveloped in the peculiar magma, the fire demon let out a mournful howl and vanished in an instant. The molten dragon, having repelled one of the Heavenly Witch-level fire demons, was also severely injured. His wounds multiplied, and the two Heavenly Witch-level fire demons gained a clear advantage. The massive black and red cone in the sky continued to spin downwards, gradually approaching the earth.

With the appearance of the fourth Heavenly Pillar, the strength of all the Flame Demons began to rise significantly, and the casualties of the Power Witches in the fortress increased dramatically.

The Flame Demon was clearly becoming enraged. Suddenly, it roared and a fireball tens of feet long streaked across the sky, crashing down on You Feng!

The giant bird let out a cry and spewed out dark flames from its mouth, constantly eroding the fireball and shrinking it until it disappeared. This was the Flame Demon's furious attack, and even the Ghost Phoenix found it rather difficult to deal with.

"Flame Demon, you actually dare to attack me? Haha, didn't you want me to deal with the Flame Demon? Well then, I'll make my move!"

Suddenly, Youfeng opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of dark, black flames that rained down on Fengmang Fortress! This fire engulfed the entire fortress, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike. As the flames filled the air, Wei Yuan felt a sharp pain all over his body, and blisters began to form on his skin!
This ghostly fire had no temperature, yet its power was terrifying. Even Wei Yuan couldn't withstand it. Before it even truly landed, the fire demons and power sorcerers in the fortress were already wailing and falling to the ground!
One by one, the bodies of the powerful sorcerers melted, like wax figures being baked, turning into a puddle of something indescribable.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt darkness envelop him, and the ghostly flames that had just fallen were swept back, all flying into a giant maw in the air. A huge dragon head appeared in the sky, swallowing the ghostly flames whole, and then spewing them back at the Ghost Phoenix.

When the ghostly fire erupted again, it had transformed into a small fireball, surrounded by crimson lightning. As it flew, it continuously absorbed sparks, growing larger and larger, distorting space in its path and leaving a distinct trail.

In the blink of an eye, the fireball expanded to a size of a thousand feet, its surface densely covered with crimson lightning!
Youfeng sneered and slapped Youhuo with its wing!

However, the entire desolate world suddenly trembled, the aura of the Nether Phoenix plummeted, and the Netherfire Ball emitted a golden light from within before suddenly exploding, sending the Nether Phoenix flying hundreds of miles away. Countless black feathers fell, turning into pieces of black fire upon landing, burning incessantly.

With a mournful cry, Youfeng's wings were blasted open! She screamed in disbelief, "Why is the Desolate Realm suddenly targeting me? Molten Dragon, you're not even a Celestial Witch, how could you harm my physical body?! No, you…"

Before Youfeng, the enormous dragon head slowly swam, revealing its long body, which had swum for hundreds of miles before fully unfolding. Two Heavenly Witch Flame Demons were bitten in its mouth; they were motionless, seemingly dead.

The phoenix slowly flapped its wings and retreated.

The dragon swam for a while before finally revealing its entire body, which was nearly a thousand miles long! There was a huge wound on the dragon's body at the end, and it had no tail, otherwise it would have been even longer than a thousand miles.

"You are a Molten Dragon...you, you are already a Celestial Witch?! How is this possible? Who gave you this position? When did you meet the Ancestral Witch?" Youfeng exclaimed in surprise.

The dragon let out a deep roar and swallowed the two Heavenly Witch Flame Demons whole. Then it said, "My position as a Heavenly Witch was not given to me by the Ancestral Witch, but by Heaven and Earth."

"This is impossible... You, you separated the Desolate Realm? This is rebellion!" You Feng roared, a hint of panic showing for the first time.

The Molten Dragon said slowly, "To become a Celestial Witch, one does not necessarily need the blessing of the Ancestral Witch. We can gain the recognition of Heaven and Earth simply by standing still."

Youfeng said, "The Ancestral Witch will never let you go!"

"That's no longer important. Whether it lets me go or not, you all just want to exterminate the Liwu. But did you feel the pain of the Desolate Realm just now? No."

Suddenly, Youfeng opened its mouth and spat out a thin line of fire that shot into the head of the Molten Dragon!

Though the fire line was thin, its power was immense, piercing through the dragon's head in one fell swoop. However, this enraged the Molten Dragon, which opened its mouth and instantly spewed out a terrifying pillar of fire several miles in diameter, blasting Youfeng a thousand miles away in one breath!

As the dragon flames dissipated, Youfeng was left covered in scorch marks, its feathers scattered and almost entirely gone, reduced to a burnt-out bird. Youfeng, still engulfed in dragon flames, turned and fled, leaving behind the words, "The Ancestral Witch will never let you go!"

Seeing the situation was turning against them, Long Zhe and Huiye had already secretly slipped out of the Desolate Realm. The Molten Dragon had gained the recognition of the Desolate Realm and become a Celestial Witch, acquiring unimaginable power over heaven and earth. Even Youfeng was no match for him. If the two of them stayed, they would simply be easy prey.

The Molten Dragon didn't give chase. Instead, it turned around and devoured the Flame Demons, who were locked in battle with the Nine-Eyed One, one after another, before rescuing the Flame Demon. Then, the Molten Dragon took a deep breath and spewed a torrent of molten lava onto the earth. The rolling lava engulfed countless Flame Demons, cutting off the path of any further attacks.

The lava dragon continuously spewed out magma balls. Each lava ball that landed created a death zone spanning dozens of miles, destroying all the fire demons there.

Flame Demon and Nine Eyes rushed over to help, and the three Heavenly Witches worked together to quickly clear out the sea of ​​Flame Demons. An awkward silence followed, then the Flame Demon broke the silence, asking, "How did you become a Heavenly Witch so easily?"

“I could feel the pain of the entire world, so I no longer hesitated and took that step. The Desolate Realm was at a critical moment of survival, so I gave it most of the authority I could. Even if the Ancestral Witch establishes another Heavenly Witch position in the Desolate Realm in the future, it will not have as much authority as this position.”

Nine Eyes took a deep breath and asked, "So, you separated the Desolate Realm from the Witch Domain?"

"To be precise, it separated from the kingdom of the Ancestral Witches."

Nine Eyes gasped, "Good heavens! Is your position as a Heavenly Witch completely beyond the control of the Ancestral Witch?"

The Molten Dragon nodded.

Nine Eyes asked, "What will happen to this place in the future? What will happen to the Power Witch?"

Ronglong said, "You will continue to be the guardian of the Desolate Realm, and Liwu will continue to come here to cultivate and train as before. However, it will be difficult for the Ancestral Witch to interfere in the affairs of the Desolate Realm anymore."

"Will there be a war?" Nine Eyes asked.

“If the Ancestral Witch doesn’t provoke me, I naturally won’t make things difficult for him. The Flame Burst hasn’t ended yet, so I need to find a way to pull it down before the fourth Heavenly Pillar is completed.”

The Flame Demon said, "Don't be impulsive! That's probably impossible. Anyway, with you and Nine Eyes in the Desolate Realm now, even if the Flame Demon gets stronger, he can still hold out."

Molten Dragon shook his head and said, "Each Heavenly Pillar is a wound cut into the Desolate Realm, constantly draining its essence. I couldn't do anything about the first three, but there's still a chance for the fourth! This is the meaning of my becoming a Heavenly Witch! I'm going."

A colossal dragon, stretching a thousand miles, soared through the sky, and soon arrived near the fourth celestial pillar. At this moment, the tip of the new pillar was only a few dozen miles from the ground!
The molten dragon flew straight up, its body coiling around the fourth celestial pillar. Its thousand-mile-long body only managed to wrap around it twice.

The dragon let out a long roar, exerting all its strength, and actually pulled the fourth pillar of heaven to slowly bend! The pillar of heaven immediately trembled violently, but it could not shake off the molten dragon. Instead, the bending of the pillar of heaven became more and more obvious.

With a loud crack, a crack appeared on the surface of the pillar.

The Heavenly Pillar emitted a whistling sound that seemed to be a mournful cry, and then began to rotate. The outer shell on the cone unscrewed layer by layer, and suddenly countless sharp spikes popped out, piercing through the body of the Molten Dragon in one fell swoop!

The molten dragon let out a blood-curdling roar of pain, but it didn't release the pillar. Instead, it continued to bend it with all its might. The pillar spun even more violently, suddenly retracting all its giant spikes, then shooting them out again, inflicting countless more wounds on the molten dragon!

Large swathes of blood, like lava, spilled onto the earth. The molten dragon endured the excruciating pain of being pierced by the giant thorn, yet it refused to let up in the slightest!
Nine Eyes shouted, "Don't be reckless, just leave it at that! Come back quickly!"

Neither he nor the Flame Demon dared to approach the newly formed fourth pillar of heaven. The attacks from the pillar before it solidified were simply beyond their ability to withstand.

But the Molten Dragon ignored them, twisting its entire body with immense force, causing the Heavenly Pillar to bend at an even greater angle. The wounds on the Molten Dragon's body were chafed and torn open by the giant spikes, making the injuries quite gruesome.

Tianzhu seemed to sense a life-or-death threat. It immediately let out a shriek and kept shooting out spikes, repeatedly piercing the Molten Dragon's body! The Molten Dragon was already covered in wounds, and near the middle of its body, it was a bloody mess, with its lower body almost torn off.

Nine Eyes roared in anger, swore, and charged forward anyway. But just as he approached the fourth pillar, a soft spike, thousands of miles long, suddenly shot out from it, piercing through Nine Eyes in an instant and pinning him to the ground!
At this moment, the Molten Dragon burst forth with all its remaining life force, letting out a dragon roar that shook the entire Desolate Realm. With a powerful pull, it finally snapped the Heavenly Pillar at its root!

The enormous dragon body then fell along with the broken pillar of heaven, crashing into the dust of the desolate realm.
