From the edge of the desert, Riya, Lilith, and Sasha suddenly stopped fighting as they noticed the massive crimson meteorite thing that was descending towards the desert at an alarming speed. "What the hell is that?" Lilith was shocked to see something like this. "It's Aditya...!" Although, from this distance, the goddess of nature could not see her man seeing the crimson flame, she was sure that it was Aditya. "But what could have possibly forced him to use something powerful?" Sasha asked as she severed the head of a beginner 3rd order cultivator. Their journey towards the Lionrock city hadn't been peaceful. as they have met many enemies who were also after the dragon grass. But the two goddesses and the saint did not find any difficulty taking down the enemies and clearing their path towards Lionrock city. 'We will have to hurry.....!!!' This was what the three of them were thinking in their heads after hearing the sound of the massive explosion. Even though they were at the edge of the desert, they still heard the sound of the explosion. From this, they could only imagine just how powerful the attack was. The three of them wanted to give the Dragon grass to Alicia before heading back to the desert to check on their man. -
"Haaaaa...!" Lady Eleanor wiped the sweat from her forehead as she looked at the screen in front of her. She had never felt this terrified in her life before. Even during the continental war something like this has never happened. 'Something like this is surely more than enough to end Harrison's life.' The screen before her was filled with black smoke. This attack affected almost the entire Graveyard of Sand Dunes desert. This attack itself had killed countless cultivators, who were within the range of the catastrophic explosion. -
Scene change______
Cough…..! Cough…..!!!!
"Dammit...!" This was the last word that the strongest beast king said before he forever, closed his eyes and passed away. It wasn't Aditya's intention to kill Eldric Thornehart. He did not even know the name of the strongest beast king. Aditya's complete attention was on killing Harrison in that attack. He had no time to worry about the lives of other cultivators even if millions of others died from his attack he wouldn't care. Aditya certainly did not care if the strongest beast King Eldric Thornehart died, died, or lived. He never really cared about any of the beast kings. If any of them were to get anyway, he was going to kill them without showing any mercy. The shockwave of his catastrophic attack, not only killed the strongest beast king, who was very close to them, but also ended up killing thousands and thousands of cultivators and magic animals who were fighting among themselves. The shock of the catastrophic explosions spread in every direction of the desert and killed whoever was caught in it without showing any mercy. Meanwhile, Aditya was 1000 meters above the sky. Before the explosion happened, he used 'Crimson Warp Flash' to teleport 2000 meters away from the ground. He knew that if he stayed on the ground, then he was also going to face the full power of the catastrophic explosion. If he had been one second late, then he would have killed himself. Even Aditya wasn't confident about surviving his attack. This attack was just too destructive and lethal. The Crimson Flame had turned everything living being as well as all the corpses to ashes. Now even their ashes cannot be found. Under the extreme heat, the sand of the desert had been forcefully turned into pieces of glass before those glasses also melted and turned black from the heat. As Aditya stood above the ground, he kept getting notifications from the system. 『Ding! You have killed a Peak 5th-order Human cultivator. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a Peak 5th-order Beast-men. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a Beginner 4th-order Sapphire Snake. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a Mid 5th-order Desert Behemoth. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a Beginner 5th-order Sandworm. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a Peak 4th-order Sand Worm. You have earned experience points.』
『Ding! You have killed a...』
However, this wasn't the person that he wanted dead. The target of his attack still hadn't died. If he had died, then Aditya would have gotten a notification from the system. Although Aditya was a little bit surprised that Harrison managed to survive his deadly catastrophic attack, that did not mean that Aditya was giving up. He still had a few more powerful cards to play. Aditya slowly flew down. As he reached the deep end of the humongous crater, he finally noticed Harrison. Rather than being seriously injured, he was completely fine. He wasn't even bleeding. The only thing that this explosion has done to him was give cracks in the crystal layer skin. The second skin that was protecting his body was now full of cracks. Harrison no longer had any grin on his face. His face looked slightly pale. Although he was standing, Aditya noticed that his legs were shaking a little bit. It was as if he was struggling to keep standing. 'Damn you, Aditya....!!!' Harrison had nearly used all of his Mana to make sure that his crystal skin could get strong enough to withstand that attack. However, even after investing almost all of his mana into reinforcing the defensive capabilities of his crystal skin, he still ended up with cracks all over his body. To protect his life, he had used almost [5500+] of Mana which was almost all of his Mana just to keep himself alive. The power and the scale of this attack forced Harrison to admit that Aditya was the strongest opponent that he had ever faced in his life. Harrison has never faced anyone as strong as Aditya. As a warlock, facing a tough opponent with almost all of his Mana drained was the worst kind of situation that he could have possibly found himself in. Harrison could not take Aditya in close combat. Whenever he tried to attack him he always would escape using his teleporting powers. "Honestly, I am surprised that you are still standing," Aditya said this because it wasn't every day that he faced such a strong opponent. Compared to the strong cultivators that he had faced in the past, Harrison was in a Class of his own. "However, this is not going to last for long." Hearing the cold words from his mouth, Harrison felt scared for the first time. Right now, Aditya has two options. He could either use Stellar Surge which was the newest powerful passive skill that he received after becoming a Beginner 4th-order cultivator. However, the consequences of using this skill would be that he was going to become blind and would lose all of his senses for 24 hours. After 24 hours, it would take another 12 hours for Aditya to slowly recover his senses.
Since Aditya had seen Harrison withstanding this attack, he wasn't sure if Stellar Surge would 100% work. If Stellar Surge did not work then he would lose all of his senses and then it would be basically over for Aditya. Or he could use the 4th-order Passive skill, 'Dragon Monarch's domain'. The Dragon Monarch's domain passive skill is one of those skills that had upgraded into 4th-order but the name of the skill had still remained the same. Using 'Dragon Monarch's domain' would be a much safer option. Till now, he only had used this skill once when he was stuck in the Small World along with Julia's father father. Meanwhile, Harrison tried to attack Aditya using his speed but Aditya kept teleporting from one place to another and was easily able to keep dodging all of Harrison's attacks. 'Dammit...!!! Why can't I hit him?' Harrison was becoming desperate. Till now he hasn't been able to land a single attack on Aditya. Yet by now he had taken so many attacks that he had lost count of it. "Die.....!!!" However, Aditya simply teleported behind Harrison before sending him flying with a kick. Harrison fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he found Aditya standing in front of him. For some reason, the Aura around Aditya had completely changed. His Aura had become many times stronger than before. Even though Harrison had the power of the World Treasure, even then he still felt an immense threat from this being who was standing in front of him and towering over him like a shadow. Behind Aditya, he caught a glimpse of countless bolts of crimson lightning striking the scorched earth. He also felt that the scorched earth around him and in all directions was starting to heat up and turn red. "Who are you....?" All of this made Harrison mistake Aditya was someone else. Aditya just raised his Adamantite Doomblade and then severed Harrison's head. Since he did not have enough Mana to invest in toughening his crystal skin strong enough to protect himself from Aditya's body, he could not save himself this time. However, as he did that, cracks appeared all over his favorite black sword. Crack.....!!!
The last thing that Harrison saw was Aditya coldly looking at him before everything became dark forever. At the same time, Aditya also heard another faint cracking sound. 『DIng!! You have killed a Peak 5th-order Vampire King. You have gained experience points.』
At that moment, it was as if the world itself had become still. Countless eyes were on Aditya. They were staring at the man who had defeated the only user of the World Treasure without even taking a single hit or without even losing a single drop of his blood. This man was the King of all Dragons. He was the Dragon Monarch. And today the world has witnessed the might of the Dragon Monarch. However, time was very limited from Aditya's side. He only had a few more seconds left in his hand. He easily pierced Harrison's chest and took out the Mystical Pagoda which was the World Treasure. As he took out the world treasure, many noticed that the Pagoda was full of cracks and was stained with Harrison's blood. It seems the World Treasure had been severely damaged along with the death of its owner. But the World Treasure still had value. After all, it was still a World Treasure. Aditya wasn't going to let of it. He then put the world treasure along with Harrison's corpse into his storage ring. 『 Time remaining - 02 seconds 』
He then took one last glance around him. The whole lively desert had now been turned into a wasteland. This place cannot be even called a desert anymore. Everything in his view was completely burned and destroyed to its extreme core. Aditya could not sense any living presence in the desert anymore. As far as his senses went, he could not sense any living beings. His attack had ended their lives. 『 Time remaining - 01 seconds 』
Aditya felt his vision was getting blurry. Knowing this, he used the last bit of his Mana to use Dragon Transfer. At that moment, the space around Aditya twisted. Before anyone could react, in place of the Dragon Monarch, one of the Dragonians appeared while Aditya had disappeared. He had vanished from the eyes of the world. Almost all of the big powers were watching this battle. After today, all the big powers in the six continents had to rethink their stance against the Istarin Empire.
Many decided to never mess with Aditya and the Istarin Empire again. ----------------
