Rise of the Demon God

Long Chen surprised everyone by simply absorbing all the attacks of the Dragon King as if they were not even a hassle for him. 

Most of the attention went straight for his Sword of Time. Not many here recognized as the God Beasts rarely even tried to find out about human treasures, which were quite useless for them. However, even the Rainbow Princess didn't know anything about the sword. 

The Sword was a heavy Sword, but at the same time, it was so sharp that it could even slice time itself. It was unclear what the sword was made from. Even the Rainbow Phoenix or the Demon Emperor didn't know much about the sword. Both of them did find it impressive though. The treasure was powerful. 

The blade of the sword was covered by some strange symbols that didn't seem to have any meaning at an initial glance. The Rainbow Phoenix and the Demon Emperor both knew even the oldest language, but these marks didn't match any of those languages. It was as if someone just made a random stroke. 

"The material of this sword... Do you know who made it?" The Demon Emperor asked Long Chen, who had just appeared above the Dragon King. 

"I have no idea," Long Chen answered, even though slightly upset that he was being disturbed right as he was about to attack. 

He turned his sword upside down, thrusting it down to impale the head of the Dragon King. 

As soon as the Sword even got closer to him, the Dragon King disappeared. It was as if his body could sense danger easily and bring him to safety. 

Similar to Long Chen, the Dragon King could also teleport, which was also what brought him to safety. He appeared right above Long Chen. 

The Dragon King had become so big that just his eye itself was bigger than Long Chen. 

The Dragon King's mouth opened wide, and endless dark flames came out of his mouth. Since he appeared so close to Long Chen, he didn't even have time to move out of the way. His sword was already in its downward spiral. 

Long Chen felt heat. He had realized where the Dragon King was, but he chose against teleporting this time. 

He had realized that the Dragon King could sense his attack. If that was the case, their hide and seek was going to continue since the Dragon King was going to keep avoiding his attacks. 

The one way to properly take him out was to do it when he didn't even expect the attack coming!

Long Chen didn't run... He didn't Teleport. He simply flew into the flames instead. 

The dark flames of the Dragon King... They were the flames that were said to be born from the essence of a dying star that was destroyed by the Dragon King himself. 

It was said that there was not a single barrier that could outlast these flames. Long Chen also knew about this feature of the Dragon King's flames. That's also why he didn't even try to cast a barrier to protect himself. Instead, he left everything to his cloak. 

The robe was something he had received back in the Ancestral Temple of the Godly Beasts itself. If there was anything that could stop the attack of a God Beast, it was something that belonged to the Ancestral Beasts. 

The robe wasn't an invisible item that could never be destroyed. On the contrary, it was an item that could be destroyed even by a weak attack as long as it was a second attack. 

The robe was said to be capable enough to save its wearer from any one life-threatening attack, no matter how powerful that attack was. It was only on the second attack that this robe was no more than useless since it needed time to regain its strength after being used for the first time. 

Long Chen had already confirmed the use of this robe with the Demon Emperor. He placed all his trust on the robe now, flying straight inside the flames. 

Everyone on the ground saw Long Chen being swallowed by the flames, not appearing again. It was evident that he hadn't Teleported at the last moment like before. 

"Is he dead?" The Black Tortoise Patriarch exclaimed. 

"He can't die that easily..." The Rainbow Phoenix shook her head. This all seemed too easy. 

Long Chen was a person who had survived even her attacks. How could he die that easily? But if he hadn't died, then where was he?

The Dragon King closed his mouth. The flames also disappeared. There were not even any remnants of Long Chen left behind. It looked more like he had turned into smoke. 

Baihu Yang sighed in relief. Long Chen had been killed, and his world was also safe! This was the best outcome for him. 

"What about the God Core of my clan?" He asked, wondering if that was also destroyed by the flames. 

"No flames can Destroy that," the Black Tortoise Patriarch answered, landing beside the young man. "If Long Chen is really dead, the core will return to the owners soon."

"That's good. That means the war is over..." Baihu Yang sighed. Even though he had lost his father due to Long Chen, at least he had managed to get Long Chen killed. His world was also safe, and his core was also going to return to him. Their clan could once again return to its former glory. 

"He can't be dead that easily... There is no way Ancestor will..." Even the Demon Princess was in disbelief in the distance. 

She was sure that there was no way Long Chen was dead! But what happened then? If he wasn't dead, then where was he?

While everyone assumed that Long Chen had died since they couldn't find him anywhere, Long Chen found himself inside a dark place. Even though there was no light anywhere, thanks to his Buddha's Gaze, he was able to see his surroundings clearly. 

He was in a place that seemed like a tunnel, but it wasn't made of stone. Instead, this place was made from flesh. 

"The Dragon King... Outer skin which no treasure can even scratch... But what about from inside?" Long Chen muttered as a devilish grin spread across his lips.
