The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

During the break, Huan Cheng opened the system panel to see what exactly the Dragon King's Wrath was.

【Wrath of the Dragon King】: A curse set by Valkyrthos, the Red Dragon King of Hell, in order to protect his bloodline offspring, with a dragon oath. Anyone who slays a dragon will suffer the Dragon King's revenge.

Effect 1: All attributes reduced by 20% (This effect has been negated by the Abyss Body).

Effect 2: Increases damage taken from dragons by 100% (this effect is negated by the Abyssal Body).

Effect 3: All dragons' hatred level increases by 5, Abyss dragons' hatred level increases by 30, and Hell Red Dragons' hatred level increases by 50.

Effect 4: Valkyrtus, the Red Dragon King of Hell, has planted a mark on you, which can vaguely sense your location. He may appear next to you at any time to vent the Dragon King's rage.

Note: This status cannot be purified, dispelled, or removed; it can only be removed when the Hellfire Red Dragon King dies.

Huan Cheng lost interest after just one glance.

Both effects with substantial impact were exempted by the Abyss Body.

As for the hatred towards the dragons, that's not a big deal.

The dragon race is extremely complex and is found throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The Divine Realm Dragon Clan is a vital fighting force in the Alliance of All Races, while the Abyss side also has many branches of dragon races such as the Hell Dragon Clan and the Abyss Dragon Clan, none of whom submit to the others.

Five points of hatred have a negligible impact, especially considering his terrifying reputation.

As for the Abyss side, don't forget that he's still wearing the Hero's Badge; the Hell Dragon Clan's 50 points of hatred will have to wait a bit.

As for the last Dragon King's perception, if Valkyrtus has the guts to come out of the Demon Realm now to retaliate, the Alliance of All Races will not mind organizing a limited-time dragon-slaying event.

Just as I was about to close the attribute panel, I suddenly noticed a line of small text below "Dragon King's Wrath".

"You have automatically accepted the special quest [Reverse Scale]".

[Reverse Scale]: The Dragon King's hatred is a shackle, and the gift of dragon blood is a ladder. When you encounter Valkyrtus, the Red Dragon King of Hell, you can request to start a revenge war that no outsider can interfere with in any way, a war to the death, to kill the Dragon King, or to die in his claws.

Mission objective: Slay Valkyrthos, the Red Dragon King of Hell, in the War of Vengeance.

Task reward: Unknown.

"That's interesting!"

Huan Cheng looked at the task with great interest, then smiled and closed the attribute panel.

Time flew by, and the two-hour rest period soon came to an end. With a system notification, the final wave of demonic energy arrived.

"Ding, Yanhuang City area announcement: The ninth wave of monster siege has begun. Number of monsters: 5000, level range: 60-65, Monster leaders: Level 70 Starry Sky Rank Nine Nether Corrupted Spider, Level 70 Starry Sky Rank Eclipse Moon Wolf—"

The system announcement paused abruptly for two seconds before continuing: "Level 95 Demon Emperor Azmodan."

"A demon...a demon emperor? What is that? I've never heard of it before?"

Unaware of the situation, ordinary players looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't know that the Demon Emperor rank was equivalent to the God rank, but level 95 could still understand it.

A level 95 boss suddenly appears between two level 70 bosses; something just doesn't seem right.

Amidst everyone's confusion, a flash of light appeared in the distance, revealing the figures of the ninth wave of monsters.

A five-meter-tall demonic minotaur warrior, a demon hunter with wings on his back, a pitch-black hellhorse rider, a lava behemoth flowing with magma...

All characters are level 60 or above.

Anyone familiar with the Demon Realm battlefield would recognize these as the main force of the demons on the Demon Realm battlefield.

Five thousand demons lined up on the plain, letting out a deafening roar towards Yanhuang City.

Just then, the clouds in the sky suddenly churned violently, as if torn apart by an invisible giant hand, revealing a huge black vortex behind the clouds.

Within the vortex, an ancient seal composed of countless golden runes is gradually breaking apart.

Runes shattered one after another, and the golden light grew dimmer and dimmer.

The moment the seal shattered completely, a hand wearing a black dragon-scale glove emerged from the vortex and pressed against the edge of space.

The next moment, a figure slowly emerged from the crack.

He was five meters tall, with a handsome yet eerie face, wearing a black robe, and standing on a ball of black flames.

With his hand outstretched in mid-air, countless crimson liquids surged, forming a three-meter-long black and red demonic sword.

Just standing there, everyone felt trembling with fear, and the thought of kneeling and submitting kept welling up in their hearts.

The five thousand demons that were just roaring suddenly had their heads pinned down by an invisible giant hand the moment Azmodan released his aura.

The minotaur warriors at the forefront collapsed to their knees, their massive heads bowed low, not daring to lift them.

Like setting off dominoes, monsters knelt on the ground in droves.

In just a few breaths, including the two Star Radiance BOSSes, five thousand demons prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, a fear and submission emanating from the depths of their souls.

Azmodan didn't even glance at them.

He tilted his head back, greedily inhaling the air, his strangely handsome expression filled with intoxication.

Swallowing quietly, Qian Yu Cangmang asked in a low voice, "Sir, is this really effective?"

Not to mention the terrifying Demon Emperor, the mere presence of those five thousand demons was enough to make him feel extremely suffocated.

Huan Cheng ignored Qian Yu Cangmang and instead glanced at an inconspicuous "player" beside him.

Seeing the player nod, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took out a black scroll from the Ring of Greed.

The scroll is entirely black, with a ferocious dragon drawn on it in dark gold lines. It is the forbidden scroll "Dragon's Roar" contributed by the former Sun-level BOSS, the Abyss Twin-Headed Dragon.

Huan Cheng glanced at the battlefield. The Demon Emperor was still enjoying the taste of freedom, while the demons below were all petrified under the Demon Emperor's pressure, not daring to move.

"Perfect, it saved me a lot of trouble."

Huan Cheng smiled slightly, gripped the scroll with both hands, and suddenly tore it open.

"Rip—"

The reel broke.

The next moment, a black beam of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.

In the sky, a beam of light tore a huge hole through the blood-red clouds, and a giant amber eye slowly opened.

A deep dragon roar came from the spatial rift, and then a dragon claw covered with black scales emerged from the rift.

Then came the head, neck, wings...

A black dragon, over a hundred meters long, slowly emerged from the spatial rift.

The commotion finally woke the Demon Emperor, who glanced at the demon dragon with interest and a rather amused expression.

Unfortunately, the dragon was merely an inanimate object sealed by a forbidden scroll, possessing only its form but lacking its spirit, and it showed no reaction to the Demon Emperor's gaze.

The dragon lowered its head, gazing down at the densely packed army of monsters below.

The demon army was slightly disturbed, and then the demon dragon took a deep breath, raised its head, and opened its huge mouth.

"roar!!!!!"

A roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

This was no ordinary dragon roar, but a demonic dragon's howl that struck straight to the soul.

Dark red sound waves erupted from the dragon's mouth, striking the core of the demon army with the precision of a shooting star.

"-1000000!"

"-1000000!"

"-1000000!"

.........

Countless damage numbers, each in the millions, floated up simultaneously, densely covering the entire battlefield.

A few seconds later, the sound waves subsided, the demonic dragon dissipated, and only a few high-level bosses remained on the battlefield, barely clinging to life.
