I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Suddenly, a sharp sword light cleaved through the waves and rushed over, cutting two demons who had just escaped and were overjoyed in one stroke. This caused Ato to stop his actions of freeing the demons. His red circular eyes spun, and he punched the sword light to shatter it!

"That damned Dragon!"

"These past few months, I've really been fortunate to have that bastard take care of me!"

The two demon kings had ferocious expressions, and the demons who had suffered torture in prison also exuded a fierce aura. Their eyes were all fixed on the Celestial Dragon Jose Galato who was coming through the waves.

José Gallato was clearly in an abnormal state at this moment. Due to the collision, his sternum was deeply caved in, definitely pressing against his heart, yet his breathing was not weak but strong. His face was red, veins bulged on his forehead, his normal pupils had turned into double pupils, and the veins on his sword-wielding hand were also bulging!

"Everyone, it's time to fight to the death! Slaughter the escaped demons on the spot!" he shouted. "Lord Is will be here soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of sword light and charged at Yato once more.

boom--

A blinding white light suddenly shone from the seabed, and a blazing white beam shot straight into the sky from the point where the two collided, crashing into the void!

This time, he wasn't driven away!

Those near the collision site were thrown back by the demons that had just been released by Ato, coughing up blood and flying through the air. The two demon kings who had wanted revenge also retreated quickly, their eyes narrowing.

"Damn Celestial Dragons!"

"Is this the power of pulse diagnosis?"

"Hand him over to Lord Athos! Our enemies are them, and we must also save our people!"

Among the six skills of the Starry Sky, Mind Network, Armament, Sky Flight, and Illusory Fire are basic skills, while Haki (Conqueror's Haki) and Pulse Seeking are rare expansion skills!

The Conqueror's Haki is undeniable; only one in a million possesses it. As for tracing one's lineage, the fundamental condition for grasping the power of one's ancestor's bloodline is that the ancestor was a king who ignited the flame!

When a king dies after lighting the lamp, his power does not vanish into the world. Just like the Heavenly King and the Sea King of Qinghai, their power will reappear in the bodies of their descendants after eight hundred years.

But similar things rarely happen in the starry sky.

Because powerful individuals have developed techniques for actively seeking out this inherited power, allowing their descendants to proactively utilize the power left by their ancestors to accelerate their cultivation, improve, and become stronger. When faced with life-threatening situations or needing to fight desperately, they can also overload and activate this power, 'invoking their ancestors to possess them'.

It unleashed power far exceeding normal levels!

Of course, there are always trade-offs. This will consume a lot of physical strength, permanently reduce one's talent for cultivation, and mortgage one's future. But at this moment, Jose Galato has no worries.

Of course, the Celestial Dragons are the ones who have mastered the Six Star Techniques of the Starry Sky most thoroughly and with the greatest depth!

Crimson spherical electric light collided and tore at each other between the knife and Ato's clashing hands.

The crackling arcs of electricity caused the void to emit a series of popping sounds. Jose Galato coughed up blood and flew backward, stepping on the churning mud and sand, his double pupils fixed on Ato's figure.

So, did it work?

tick-

Amidst the crashing waves and various roars, Jose Galato, with his mind fully focused, vaguely heard the sound of a drop of blood falling.

Like a demon god, a small gash appeared on the palm of a demon, and a drop of blood dripped out.

That's all!

The strongest attack barely broke through the defense?

Jose Galato was filled with despair; this guy was too strong.

He hasn't transformed yet!

How dare Beelzebub let that guy enter the Eastern Cosmic Sea! The Divine General will never allow him to return! But before that, we…

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Amidst a series of booming sounds, Jose Galato, like a baseball, helplessly parried as Yato's punches sent him flying into the distance!

He was tossed about in the swirling waves, lost in the pain of broken bones and torn tendons. In just a dozen seconds, he shot dozens of miles away. The sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. He lost all ability to resist and closed his eyes to await death.

But just as the wind from that punch had cracked his nose, a sudden pulling force pulled him away, allowing him to escape being killed by Ato's punch!

It felt like chains were pulling at me.

Despite his ravaged internal organs, José Galato, with his tenacious will to live, groggily opened his eyes and saw a figure in white carrying him.

My heart leaped!

Oh yeah, there's this guy too!

Although it's laughable that the Eastern Universe Sea has named itself the so-called number one sword saint, the fact that it could easily withstand one of my sword strikes before suggests it must have some skill.

And then there's Pengri Ana...maybe her abilities can still save me? I can still be saved!

Why did you save him?

"I'm not trying to save you, I'm just doing a test."

However, a sudden remark from Ato and Figo caused José Galato's anger to deflate, and the words he was about to say turned into a violent cough.

what happened?

"test?"

"Okay, wait a few seconds."

"Okay, the test is done, thank you."

A look of confusion flashed across Ato's triangular face as his six-meter-tall frame loomed over Figo.

Clenching his fist in the strong wind, Jose Gallato instantly cast aside his doubts and hurriedly shouted, "Run!"

Figo seemed not to hear, and threw a punch as well.

He met Ato's iron fist, as big as a human brain, head-on!

Jose Galato's mind network detected this, and he was plunged into despair once more. "What are you doing? Sword Saint!"

click-

Suddenly, Figo's arm swelled and thickened, bursting through his sleeve, and as he swung, his fist became as huge as Ato's iron fist!

The jet-black Armament Haki completely covered Figo's arm, making his body look like a demon god for a moment!

boom--

Fists collide!

A dazzling white light rose up, and in an instant, the entire sky seemed to be divided into two parts, black and white, and then the surrounding area for hundreds of miles darkened.

As the hurricane swept through, the temperature plummeted, and the rushing seawater below was frozen for a moment, only to melt and disintegrate with further impacts!

The sky turned completely black from dusk!

As the chains snapped and José Galato plummeted to the ground, he was shocked and horrified to see two figures in the night sky that showed no sign of retreating.

What... what's going on?!

With the last remaining doubts.

The night was filled with light again, but José Galato's world was forever plunged into darkness.

Chapter 174 Collision

It's... a draw?!

Ana, who was far behind Figo and was originally chasing after him with a heavy heart, preparing to join forces with Figo to fight to the death, was now dozens of miles away. Sensing the collision, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

She even forgot to use her abilities to dispel the impact, her hair was blown into disarray by the gale, making her look like a madwoman.

Just like the chaos in her heart.

How could this be? That's Ato, a demon prince with a formidable reputation in the Central Star Region, one of Beelzebub's right-hand men!

Ato clearly didn't hold back with that shockwave. Figo didn't possess such power during his fight with Tilrea; otherwise, he could have easily taken down the Tilrea couple!

Three months of hunting demons for a significant level increase? What kind of monsters can grant such rapid leveling?

No, wait, Ato hasn't transformed yet!

Wait, Figo can transform too!

Ana's thoughts were in complete disarray.

No wonder he was so fearless; it was I who was overthinking things? Could it be that he really has a chance... to sever one of Beelzebub's right and left arms?!

With a quick thought, Ana realized that if this was the case, going over there would only cause trouble for Figo. At crucial moments, it would be better to replenish Figo's strength and help him recover from some injuries.

So she turned her gaze to the distance, to the freed demons who were fighting the jailers.

But then Figo suddenly said, "Don't go!"

He stepped back a short distance and said, "You can slaughter them, and Ato can slaughter others too. Will you come to save them, or can I stop them?"

Ana paused.

“I encountered him on Academy Island at noon. If we had fought him there, millions of children on Academy Island would have perished in an instant. By the time he infiltrated, the rescue of those demons had already succeeded, and we couldn’t have stopped him.”

Figo said, "Since he didn't make a move, we certainly shouldn't bypass him and attack those demons." Even though Figo originally came to make up for the lost profits, now that he has the opportunity to obtain them, he is willing to temporarily give them up for the sake of more people!

"Tch, those despicable demons," Ana murmured, her past experiences replaying in her mind. "They hijacked an entire planet?"

"There are never any despicable races, only despicable people."

Upon hearing this, Ato's triangular face twisted into a chilling smile: "Gaston Figo made a pact with me between the strong to avoid affecting ordinary people. But guess what Is, the Celestial Dragon guarding this planet, will think?"

He should have received the distress call by now. When will he come? And will he even come?

Ana thought for a moment, then her expression changed.

Figo squinted.

The three of them looked up at the dome at the same time.
