Chapter 81 Hunting Moment: Elemental Spirits That Can Be Used as Passes

……

When Yuehui arrived near the area where her teammates were, her brows suddenly furrowed.

The lightning waves coming from ahead were violent and cold, completely different from his pure lightning element—it was clearly demonic lightning mixed with dark attributes!

"Could he be the successor of the tenth demon god?"

This thought made Yuehui's heart tighten.

His thunderous wings suddenly expanded, instantly increasing his speed to the maximum, transforming him into a streak of light that rushed straight into the battlefield.

……

In the center of the battlefield, dark purple lightning snakes roamed the ground.

"Little sister, don't waste your energy~"

The demon with a blue face and fangs was surrounded by ominous purple-black lightning, and his fangs swayed up and down as he spoke, "Brother, I know best how to cherish women."

"Pah!" Chen Ying'er wiped the scorch marks from her cheeks, put her hands on her hips, and raised her head. "Come on, if you dare! This grandma is standing right here!"

Before her, a large avian demon, its entire body crackling with blue lightning, was emitting a menacing hiss.

Upon closer inspection, this is clearly the form that McDull transformed into after consuming the Great Bird Demon Crystal, and it is now faithfully guarding its master.

"Hehehe, then brother is coming~" The demon grinned maliciously, extending his forked tongue to slowly lick his gleaming white fangs. "Your heart... I'll keep it safe!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exploded into dozens of dark purple lightning snakes, which strangled Chen Ying'er from an eerie angle!

"Beast blood boils—Open!"

Chen Ying'er suddenly raised her right hand, and the beast bone bracelet on her wrist suddenly burst out with a dazzling blood-red light.

Red light cascaded down on McDull like a waterfall, turning the blue Thunderbird into a terrifying scarlet.

"Hmph! (This pig is here; don't even think about hurting my master!)"

McDull let out a deafening roar, and the lightning from his exploding wings carbonized all the vegetation within a ten-meter radius.

Its thick forelimb muscles bulged, and its lightning spear, accompanied by a piercing explosion, accurately stabbed at the thickest dark purple lightning bolt!
The moment the spear tip collided with the lightning, a sickening metallic scraping sound erupted, and the purplish-black lightning and scarlet electric sparks clashed in the air like two torrents.

"Ridiculous!" Dark lightning surged around the demon, purplish-black bolts of electricity crackling between its fangs. "I am Lightning, the successor of the Tenth Demon God, the Lightning Demon God! How dare a mere beastly demon wield lightning?!"

Dozens of scattered lightning snakes suddenly converged, transforming into a ferocious lightning dragon.

The thunder dragon opened its massive maw and swallowed McDull's blue lightning whole! With a deafening explosion, McDull's enormous body was flung away like a rag doll.

"Woo——"

In mid-air, the giant bird demon's form shattered like a bubble, transforming back into a round, pink pig.

Chen Ying'er hurriedly opened her arms to catch Mai Dou, but was knocked to the ground by the huge impact.

The man and the pig rolled for more than ten meters on the scorched earth before finally coming to a stop after crashing into a dead tree and breaking off half of it.

"It seems this is your limit." Lightning elegantly flicked the dark lightning dancing between his fingertips, his boots slamming into the charred ground with a teeth-grinding sound.

"As my first trophy in the Dream Temple, I will make your skull into the most beautiful crystal wine glass."

Chen Ying'er bit her lower lip hard, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the dreamlike gem.

(Am I really going to have to leave in such a sorry state right after I came in?)
Just as the gem was about to shatter, a familiar voice suddenly rang out:
"What—do you want to do to my little Ying'er?"

The demon known as "Lightning" suddenly turned its head, its vertical pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

Three meters away, the purple-haired boy appeared out of thin air like a ghost, his purple eyes crackling with terrifying lightning.

(When did you get close?!)

"Die to me!!"

Lightning's entire armor erupted with a blinding dark purple lightning storm, and its right claw, carrying the lightning pressure that distorted space, viciously stabbed towards Moonlight's heart.

"Susanoo—!"

Moonbeam's eyes blazed with lightning, and a torrent of purple-gold lightning erupted from every pore, instantly coalescing into a three-meter-tall statue of a thunder demon.

The half-god's muscles were bulging and knotted, even the lines of its skin were clearly visible, as if a true ancient thunder god had descended to earth. "Clang—!"

The deafening clang of metal striking metal caused the ground to crack.

Lightning's claws froze in mid-air as he stared in disbelief at the demon statue that hadn't even cracked.

"Impossible, except for Lord Pal and His Majesty the Demon Emperor!" Lightning trembled as he retracted his charred right arm, the dark purple lightning armor constantly crackling with tiny sparks of electricity. "How could there be human lightning in this world?"

He leaped backward, his boots carving two scorching tracks into the ground, and he barely managed to regain his footing after retreating more than ten meters.

"Fake! It's all fake!" Lightning suddenly roared hysterically, "I am the Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand Eyes Lightning!"

(Note: This is a reference to Yu-Gi-Oh!. You can ignore it if you don't know it.)

With a crisp click of mechanical meshing, his entire body armor suddenly unfolded countless energy ports, and dark purple lightning plasma enveloped his entire body as if it were alive.

In the blink of an eye, a three-meter-tall thunder giant stood on the scorched earth.

The originally sealed spiritual power was now unlocked due to madness, and the pressure of nearly 30,000 spiritual power caused all the trees within a radius of 100 meters to fall!

Moonlight simply stood still, a hint of pity in her purple eyes.

At this moment——

"boom!!!"

A mountain-like black shadow descended from the sky and struck the thunder giant precisely on the head.

When that mountain-like black shadow crashed down, the entire Dream Paradise trembled.

"boom--!"

The Thunder Giant collapsed instantly, as if struck by a meteorite, and the ground within a radius of a hundred meters cracked like a fragile eggshell.

The lightning didn't even have time to let out a single howl before it was forced deep into the ground by the terrifying pressure.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling hammering sound came from the deep pit. Each muffled thud made the trees in the distance shake violently, as if an ancient Titan was swinging a divine hammer.

"hiss--"

Chen Ying'er gasped and hugged the battered McDull tightly in her arms.

"This...this is the guardian of the spirit furnace? It's far too brutal!"

Moonlight's purple eyes reflected the fragments of lightning flying in the crater: "He violated the ironclad rules."

"Using power exceeding the sixth rank in Dream Paradise is tantamount to challenging the majesty of the Goddess of Nature."

(What a pity)

If one can personally kill this inheritor of the demon god, one can gain at least 100,000 merit points—enough to exchange for half a legendary-level equipment.

"Captain!" Chen Ying'er tugged at Yuehui's sleeve, her face scrunched up with soot, "This guardian is too terrifying, should we..."

She gazed longingly at the milky-white ball of light hanging on the tree in the distance—it was for this spirit furnace that she had fought with lightning halfway there.

“No need. We haven’t broken any rules, and we believe the guardians of Dream Paradise won’t harm us.” Moonbeam shook her head.

The pounding sounds in the deep pit lasted for a full three minutes before stopping.

When the smoke cleared, the lightning had long since turned into a pile of unrecognizable minced meat.

The guardian's enormous hand rummaged through the flesh for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a crystal crown shimmering with dark purple lightning patterns and casually tossed it toward the moonlight.

"This is... for me?" Moonbeam caught the crystal crown and looked at the guardian in surprise.

The guardian nodded in a human-like manner, and its massive body visibly paused when its gaze swept over Little Raiji and Yating on Moonbeam's shoulder.

It suddenly stretched out its claws, pointing at the spirit furnace it was guarding, and let out two low whimpers in its throat. Then it turned and stepped into the forest, shaking down countless leaves with each step.

"So, they're giving us the spirit furnace too?" Chen Ying'er's eyes widened.

Moonlight raised an eyebrow and looked at his shoulder, while the two little ones looked at him innocently.

"Looks like the two of you can be used as passes in Dream Paradise~"
