Chapter 863 Saigong, get out here!
As a dense mass of abyssal medium annihilated the pillar of fire that the God of Fire had attacked, the enormous eye that hung high in the sky suddenly began to collapse towards its pupil, condensing into a sphere covered with mysterious triangular patterns.
As soon as the collapse ended, a sharp sword light shot out from the inside out in all directions, unleashing more than a dozen sword strikes in an instant, splitting the sphere open on its own.
A deep purple dragon, curled up inside the sphere, slowly stretched out its body, revealing a long sword blazing with flames in its arms.
"Interesting, no wonder they dared to reveal their health bar on their own..."
Xu Ning found an inconspicuous large rock in mid-air to block Tun Tun and his own figures, tilted his head and looked out, "They actually managed to extract the remnant will of that Dragon King by eroding the earth's veins. No wonder they haven't been working properly all these years; it turns out they've been trying to undermine Nata's position."
"The Dragon King's will, the fire dragon's body, plus that Blazing Sun Blade, combined with the Abyss's skills, would have been considered top-tier a thousand years ago. But my friend, times have changed. Do you really think you can still make a living relying on outdated methods?"
Unfortunately, no matter what Xu Ning was saying to himself, the giant dragon that had transformed from the abyss casually slashed out with its sword. Its power was not to be underestimated. The condensed line of fire easily sliced through a boulder in mid-air. Kong, who was standing there, did not dare to confront its sharpness and used the Thunderclap Movement Technique to dodge the attack.
"The power of your punch this time is far less than before! Hmph, now that things have come to this, there's no need for any more futile resistance."
The jet-black dragon mocked the Vulcan standing in the void, wielding its giant sword to hunt down the lives of any ant that dared to appear before it. In just a moment, the massive platform in front of it was shattered into pieces.
Kong will soon have nowhere to stand.
The fire god Mavica, standing in mid-air, seemed to have some unspoken understanding with Kong, and did not help alleviate his predicament of being unable to fly. Instead, she stood with her arms crossed in the void, calmly staring at the black dragon in front of her, occasionally glancing at the entire battlefield, as if searching for the abyss's weakness, or perhaps waiting for something to appear.
Kong didn't ask her for help, but tried his best to find a foothold. He would occasionally launch a counterattack with the "Thunder Shadow Sword" or the "Water Pattern Sword", but they were all annihilated by the giant sword.
Xu Ning popped open the gourd stopper and slowly took a sip of wine.
"If you think I'll always come to your aid whenever there's danger, you're sorely mistaken. For Ying's sake, I'll be doing you a favor by keeping you alive. Of course, even if I did nothing, you wouldn't die, since no one would want you to die like that... Hmm?"
Xu Ning paused in his drinking, suddenly sensing a force gathering towards the empty space. He immediately became angry, "Fine, fine, I've been looking for you all this way, and you pretended to be dead. Now that my little brother hasn't even slipped, you've already rushed off to protect him. You're really something..."
Sora, who was in the midst of battle, naturally sensed the presence of that will.
After all, the shattered stone platform beneath their feet, which was almost about to collapse, suddenly stabilized in an instant. Not only that, but the fragments of the stone platform that had just been shattered were actually brought together again by this will and reassembled.
In an instant, a massive platform comparable to the Olympic Arena reappeared in mid-air.
The golden-red flames enveloping Kong, who stood atop it, suddenly began to burn fiercely, just like the flames on the fire god Mavica. The intense flames even spread to the bladeless sword in his hand, turning it into a blazing fire sword.
The jet-black dragon slowly descended onto the platform, swam around the edge, and pointed its greatsword at the empty space in the center.
"I have witnessed such flames countless times. Once the fuel is burned out, darkness will return. What awaits you is destined to be... defeat!"
The moment the word "failure" was uttered, the pitch-black dragon, which had been coiled in a corner, suddenly spread its wings.
As the wings flapped, blowing out endless fog, the giant sword seemed to traverse space, slashing down towards Kong's location.
"careful!"
Mavica suddenly spoke up and gave a reminder to the air.
Kong reacted quickly, almost the instant the dragon made a move, he began to dodge to one side.
After missing its target, the giant sword in the black dragon's hand suddenly unleashed a circular slash, the blade narrowly missing Kong's face, startling him into a cold sweat.
"Hmph, nothing but a feeble survivor. Come, follow me into the night!"
Unable to kill the descendant before it, the black dragon let out a cold snort, retreated, and swam into the thick abyss fog, instantly disappearing from sight.
Before Kong could locate the enemy in the mist, a loud chant arose again.
"The universe is illuminated, and the stars are annihilated!"
High in the sky, invisible to the naked eye, it seemed as if the stars were collapsing. In the instant of annihilation, countless beams of death light were released from the point of destruction, almost covering the entire area around the sky.
The rhythm of the battle seemed to have fallen entirely into the hands of the dark dragon from the very beginning.
But in Xu Ning's eyes, who was hiding behind the boulder, that "brute" was clearly caught in a trap set by someone else without realizing it.
The Vulcan's desperate gamble of opening his throne at the cost of his life gave Him hope that He could destroy Nata in one fell swoop;
The slight setback in the "War of the Night Hunters" made Him impatient to descend into this world;
Having experienced the immense power of the Vulcan, when He hesitated about whether to retreat, He presented Teyvat's "hope" to Him, leaving Him to be slaughtered.
Just when He felt that the God of Fire was now at his last gasp and that "hope" could be crushed at any moment, Xu Ning, who was squatting outside, saw the six-pillar totem slowly rising from around the platform.
Without asking, Xu Ning knew who was behind this.
"Night God".
It was the will that had just appeared beside Kong, helping him gain the favor of the fire element and also acting as the platform for Kong.
Nata's ley lines are different from those of other countries; it is called the "Land of the Night God."
If the ley lines themselves are a vast network covering the entirety of Teyvat, then Nata's "Night God's Kingdom" is a "small local area network" formed by the reintegration of the ley lines that were destroyed in that earth-shattering war.
And the one who governs this space is "Night God".
Although most of the Kingdom of Night has been turned into the abyss, the "Night God" can still do many things within this realm if he so desires, by virtue of his authority.
The jet-black dragon, surrounded by six totems, was not oblivious. It clearly sensed that this space was being locked down and its escape route was disappearing. Even more terrifying was that the aura of the fire god standing above the void was rising steadily, soon surpassing its state when it threw punches outside earlier that day.
"Damn it! They actually...they actually wanted to..."
The jet-black dragon unleashed a long, abyssal breath, sweeping towards the surrounding totems, while simultaneously summoning its allies.
"Syzai! Get out here! I can smell that disgusting stench on you!"
