Chapter 375: Chapter 266: It’s Just Six Zombie Gods...

The Sacrificial Dao Yin Thunder repeatedly clashed with the energy beams fired by the Titan, and neither side gained the upper hand.

Moreover, the Titan could also fire a variety of weapons from its body, such as missiles, which were also incredibly powerful.

Even the pair of giant steel wings on its back could transform into two massive blades, capable of cleaving a mountain in two with a single motion. It was truly terrifying.

Yang An had originally intended for a quick battle, but now he was bogged down.

At the same time, he sensed the arrival of the Great Demon Fiends, and his anxiety grew.

If those creatures joined the fray, they could very well turn the tide of battle. A covert attack from them would put him at a great disadvantage.

’If this doesn’t work... I’m outta here!’

Yang An was already thinking of retreating.

He was already at a stalemate with the Titan. If these Great Demon Fiends also attacked, he stood no chance against a siege from so many enemies.

A great man knows when to yield and when to stand firm; it wasn’t worth risking his life over a single Forbidden Artifact Fragment.

Since the Immortal Origin Land contained Forbidden Artifact Fragments, perhaps the Xian Origin Land did as well.

He had only come here to see for himself what the legendary Immortal Origin Land was actually like.

Yang An felt that he had rediscovered his original purpose from before entering the Immortal Origin Land.

RUMBLE—

Another barrage of energy beams and countless missiles rained down.

This time, however, Yang An didn’t choose to meet the attack head-on.

Having already decided to flee, there was no better time than the present.

His long dragon body moved, instantly swerving past the torrent of energy beams. At the same moment, innumerable bolts of red lightning destroyed all the missiles flying at him, and Yang An prepared to activate the Light and Shadow Escape Technique.

But just at that moment, several huge black shadows suddenly appeared, instantly latching onto the Titan’s massive frame.

The Titan’s arm was in the middle of unleashing an energy beam and had already locked onto Yang An. But suddenly, a large amount of flesh and blood surged into its arm, seizing control and violently swiping it downward.

The terrifying energy tore through the earth, carving massive ravines through several mountains and leaving a bottomless scar upon the land.

A huge black shadow appeared from behind the Titan. While not as large as the Titan, it was still hundreds of feet tall. It pierced through the Titan’s torso in a single blow and then burrowed into its body.

A shower of sparks erupted from within the Titan’s body, and a furious roar echoed out.

’It’s... the Great Demon Fiends!’

Yang An’s dragon form, which had been about to activate the Light and Shadow Escape Technique, froze mid-action. He never expected these creatures to suddenly attack the Titan instead of him.

’Are these Demon Fiends out of their minds?’

But in the very next instant, Yang An realized what was happening.

’Wait!’

’Whatever their reason for attacking the Titan, they’re effectively pinning it down for me. Doesn’t that mean I can use this chance to get to the altar and take the Forbidden Artifact Fragment?!’

The moment the thought occurred to him, Yang An acted decisively. He instantly activated the Light and Shadow Escape Technique, covering a kilometer with Instant Teleportation, then cast it again in rapid succession.

In a single breath, his massive dragon body appeared above the altar.

Upon the altar, a palm-sized, irregularly shaped fragment hovered silently.

The blood flowing endlessly from the beads around the altar seemed to be providing the fragment with some kind of power, using it to manifest the Rules of this Immortal Origin Land.

The Lamp Dragon extended a ferocious, scaled claw and thrust it toward the altar.

A layer of crimson light immediately flared up over the altar, but it couldn’t block the radiance emanating from the Lamp Dragon’s claw.

The claw plunged straight through and seized the Forbidden Artifact Fragment.

’Success!’

At the same time, an information box appeared before Yang An’s eyes.

「[Energy Barrier Fragment]: A Middle Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment originating from the Forbidden Artifact [Energy Barrier]. It contains a portion of the Power of Rules that allows one to manifest the unbelievable by drawing on living creatures. As the item is incomplete, its duration and range are limited when using the Power of Rules. Beings below the Zombie God realm will suffer a fatal backlash from the Power of Rules if they attempt to forcibly fuse with it. Without fusion, only a maximum of one-tenth of its power can be wielded.

Cost of Use: Each time the item’s Power of Rules is used, it will drain a portion of the user’s lifespan, the amount depending on the duration and range. Upon fusion, whenever the user channels Mana, a Demon of the Energy Barrier will be created. This demon will manifest that which the user finds unbelievable, turning it against them to inflict harm. This effect persists until the user stops channeling Mana.

Status: Currently cannot be Purified. Must devour the corresponding, opposing Power of Rules in order to undergo Purification!」

The Lamp Dragon form dissipated, reverting to the vessel body Yang An controlled.

He held the Forbidden Artifact Fragment firmly in his hand, unable to stop a smile from spreading across his face beneath the mask.

At the exact moment Yang An obtained the Forbidden Artifact Fragment, the thousand-foot-tall Titan was being overwhelmed in its battle against the six Great Demon Fiends, powerless to fight back. A kilometer away, another massive monster appeared, instantly locking onto the Demon Fiends clinging to the Titan.

But in an instant, both the Titan and the other monster disintegrated, turning into nothing but drifting ash.

The black shadows froze in mid-air, staring at one another in bewilderment.

"What happened? How did they just disappear?"

Even the six Great Demon Fiends were too stunned by this scene to react.
