Defeat, Escape and Fusion of the Pangu Bloodline

"Then go die!"

Dragon Emperor Arden's tone remained calm as ever. As soon as he finished speaking, he casually raised his hand and pointed at Ian Song.

That finger seemed gentle, moving slowly, but Ian Song felt there was no way to dodge or escape. What looked like a perfectly ordinary gesture felt like the embodiment of the Dao itself.

Nine Stellar Transformations!

"Boom!"

Ian Song's aura erupted, his power instantly soaring over two hundredfold to a terrifying level. He swung the Azure Flood-Dragon Sword in a slash toward Dragon Emperor Arden.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Arden's fingertip lightly tapped the Azure Flood-Dragon Sword in Ian's grip, sending a force so pure it was almost terrifying through the blade and into Ian's body.

The Star Map manifested, and the stellar energy within his body surged wildly, desperately trying to dissolve that invading force.

But that force was condensed to the limit; his power couldn’t resist it at all.

"Bang!"

Ian Song’s body was flung back, crashing hard to the ground. Blood gushed from his seven orifices, and, terrifyingly, that force kept wrecking his body’s functions—it looked like it would soon destroy all his life force.

"Evan Chu!"

In a flash, Vivian Ouyang appeared before Ian, her face full of concern.

"Don’t worry about me. Get back!"

Ian shoved Vivian aside and forced himself up from the ground.

"Again!"

Ian swung his sword with all his might—a blood-red sword light, carrying an overwhelming aura, slashed toward Dragon Emperor Arden. Everyone could sense the terrifying power in that sword light; even the high-tier gods felt that just touching it would annihilate their souls.

"I didn’t expect Evan Chu still had so much hidden strength. But it’s a pity—he’s up against a Transcender!"

The God of Longevity sighed in awe.

As expected!

Dragon Emperor Arden reached out a flawless white palm and gently squeezed—the entire sword light shattered. Then his palm pressed directly onto Ian Song’s chest.

"Bang!"

Ian was sent flying again, two surging energies rampaging through his body, instantly destroying most of his life force.

Twice now, Dragon Emperor Arden had only displayed power at the Earth Immortal level.

But his energy was condensed to the extreme. If Ian Song's energy was like a basket of cotton, Arden's was a single iron spike.

In terms of quantity and weight, an iron spike couldn’t compare to a basket of cotton, but the spike could pierce the cotton with ease.

Ian Song cast Radiance of Life on himself twice in a row. Although his wounds healed, they were immediately wrecked again by those two energies inside him.

As long as those two powers remained in his body, his injuries would never fully heal.

"Cough, cough!"

Ian Song coughed up blood in great mouthfuls, but stubbornly forced himself to stand. Seeing this, Vivian Ouyang, Lynne Ward, Lena Wei, and Chloe Snow all looked deeply worried.

"If you can withstand one more move from me, I’ll spare your life!"

Dragon Emperor Arden said calmly, then threw a punch—the fist was like the Dao itself, incomparably heavy!

"Spatial Stasis!"

Ian didn’t retreat; instead, he advanced to meet the blow. Earth-yellow energy waves radiated out, enveloping Dragon Emperor Arden, and a tiny stilled world formed.

"Crack!"

But the moment that pocket world formed, it shattered layer by layer.

"Bang!"

Arden’s fist struck Ian Song square in the chest. An even more terrifying force blasted into his body. With a booming sound, Ian’s body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"No!"

"Evan Chu!"

"Young Master!"

"Brother!"

"Husband!"

………

All the women were heartbroken, crying out in anguish.

Dragon Emperor Arden swept a cold gaze over the high-tier gods of the other eight races and said indifferently, "Kill yourselves, or I will wipe out your entire race—leave not a single one alive!"

"Thank you, Dragon Emperor Arden, for your mercy!"

The high-tier gods gave a bitter laugh, then one after another struck themselves on the head. In an instant, all the high-tier gods of the eight allied races were dead.

Seeing this, everyone else was terrified—no one even dared to breathe. It was too horrifying: with just a single sentence, so many high-tier gods had killed themselves.

"Let’s go!"

Dragon Emperor Arden glanced at the Heavenly Flame Empress, then stepped into the void and vanished. The Heavenly Flame Empress followed him into the void…

Just as they left—

Ian Song, who had turned into a cloud of blood mist, rapidly reformed, instantly returning to human shape.

"Husband!"

"Evan Chu!"

Seeing this, all the women were overjoyed.

"Let’s go!"

Ian unleashed a wave of energy to envelop everyone, then tore open the void and vanished.

"The Demon King Evan actually survived!"

It wasn’t until he disappeared that everyone inside the pocket world finally reacted.

The Goddess of Prophecy and the other human gods were delighted, but who knew what the other beings thought.

After leaving the Celestial Monument, Ian Song cast the Grand Shift technique, frantically teleporting. Half an hour later, he appeared above a vast ocean. Without hesitation, he plunged in, diving tens of thousands of meters deep, bringing everyone into the sanctuary.

As soon as he entered the sanctuary, Dragon Emperor Arden and the Heavenly Flame Empress appeared on the surface of the sea.

Powerful spiritual senses swept across the surrounding waters, reflecting everything into their minds.

Yet, they couldn’t find any trace of Ian Song.

"Forget it. If he managed to escape from me, that’s his fortune."

With those words, Dragon Emperor Arden vanished.

In the sanctuary’s training chamber—

Ian Song set the time acceleration to a thousandfold. He knew that even if he broke through to Human Immortal now, he still wouldn’t be a match for Dragon Emperor Arden. His only option was to fuse with the Pangu bloodline.

Before coming to this world, fusing with the Pangu bloodline would have taken him at least ten thousand years.

Now, his strength was countless times greater than when he first arrived, so it should take much less time.

With a thought, he took out the Pangu bloodline and swallowed it. Instantly, a vast energy capable of reshaping the heavens and earth surged forth from the bloodline, crazily transforming his body.

At the same time, an indescribable pain assaulted him, nearly driving him to unconsciousness.

One day!

Two days!

Ten days!

After a month, Ian Song’s physical body had grown tenfold, and every cell in his body radiated a blood-red glow.

"Break!"

With a soft shout, Ian Song’s Star God Physique broke through the fourth layer and entered the fifth.

"Here it comes again!"

Before he could even sense what new powers the fifth layer brought, the bloodline’s energy surged up once more, continuing to transform his body.

This repeated forty-nine times, until Ian Song’s physical strength reached a truly terrifying level.

"Mmm!"

With a muffled groan, Ian fainted as the bloodline’s power began to reshape his soul.

Who knew how much time passed.

Ian Song slowly woke up to find himself inside a cocoon of blood, the bloodline’s energy completely absorbed.

Both his soul and body had reached an extremely fearsome level.

"Old Spirit, how many years did this fusion take?" Ian asked the sanctuary’s spirit.

"Not much, not little—exactly eight thousand years!" the spirit replied.

In other words, eight years had passed in the outside world.
