Chapter 777
"Sand and stones fly!"
The Yellow Robe Demon poured all his power into the primordial spiritual treasure in his hand and unleashed "Sand and Stones Fly" once more.
But this time, the target of "Sand and Stones Fly" was neither Sun Wukong nor the Great Heavenly Dragon, but himself.
"Sand and Stones Fly" transformed into a black tornado that engulfed the Yellow Robe Demon and shot straight upward.
The black tornado moved at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had flown thousands of li.
At this moment, Sun Wukong's second weakness became apparent.
That was, Sun Wukong was not skilled in speed.
Especially in explosive bursts of speed.
The Dao of Battle excels most in combat.
Speed is not a strength of the Dao of Battle either.
Roar!
The Great Heavenly Dragon's speed was not slow, but compared to the Yellow Robe Demon, its power was ultimately inferior; even though Tang Seng immediately ordered the Great Heavenly Dragon to pursue the moment he sensed the Yellow Robe Demon's intent to flee, it was still a fraction too late.
Crack!
At that moment, a black figure suddenly appeared on the Yellow Robe Demon's escape route.
This black figure was a strangely shaped black dragon, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.
The one who blocked the Yellow Robe Demon was Nidhogg, who had just joined the Myriad Worlds chat group and now assumed the identity of the White Dragon.
Nidhogg was a Dragon of Destruction; though different from Eastern dragon clans, there were some shared traits between them.
Thus, when Luo Fu selected personnel, he directly chose Nidhogg—the one who had just joined the Myriad Worlds chat group—as the replacement for the White Dragon.
Although he had only just joined the Myriad Worlds chat group, Nidhogg did not refuse Luo Fu.
Among the many members of the Myriad Worlds chat group, Nidhogg's strength was not weak.
As a Dragon of Destruction, Nidhogg was born with mastery over the Dao of Destruction, and his bloodline strength was at least equal to that of the Ancestral Ancestors.
Bound by the world's restrictions, Nidhogg's strength may not yet have broken through to the Quasi-Saint layer, but he certainly possessed the power of a Great Arhat Jin Xian.
Within the entire pilgrimage team, Nidhogg's strength ranked second, and his battle awareness was among the very best.
He had long foreseen that, if unable to defeat Sun Wukong and the Great Heavenly Dragon, the Yellow Robe Demon would choose to flee.
Therefore, Nidhogg had been lying in wait beside the Yellow Robe Demon, ready to intercept him at any moment.
Roar!
After blocking the Yellow Robe Demon, Nidhogg expanded his body to thousands of zhang, completely sealing off all escape routes, then unleashed a torrent of dragon breath directly at the Yellow Robe Demon.
As a Dragon of Destruction, Nidhogg was born with mastery over the Dao of Destruction; the dragon breath he exhaled could also be called Destruction Dragon Breath.
The destruction-imbued dragon breath, upon contacting the raging winds surrounding the Yellow Robe Demon, instantly annihilated and tore them apart, then slammed violently into the Yellow Robe Demon.
The Yellow Robe Demon never expected to be intercepted; caught off guard by Nidhogg's attack, he failed to react immediately.
By the time the Yellow Robe Demon regained his composure, Nidhogg's Destruction Dragon Breath had already shattered "Sand and Stones Fly."
Facing Nidhogg's assault, the Yellow Robe Demon immediately activated the primordial spiritual treasure in his hand, summoning a protective barrier to defend himself.
Unfortunately, the spiritual treasure in the Yellow Robe Demon's hand was not adept at defense.
Nidhogg's realm was not low, and with his Great Arhat Jin Xian's peak-level magic power, his attack had touched the Quasi-Saint layer—far beyond what a mere Late Stage Great Arhat Jin Xian like the Yellow Robe Demon could withstand.
Boom!
The Destruction Dragon Breath shattered the Yellow Robe Demon's defense and struck him directly.
The terrifying aura of destruction instantly annihilated more than half of the Yellow Robe Demon's body.
Crack!
Immediately following the Destruction Dragon Breath, Nidhogg opened his enormous jaws and swallowed the Yellow Robe Demon—now reduced to half a body—and his primordial spiritual treasure whole.
"Aaah!"
Nidhogg could even devour the World Tree; how could a mere Yellow Robe Demon possibly resist his devouring?
The swallowed Yellow Robe Demon did not last long; he barely managed a scream before being utterly annihilated by Nidhogg's internal destruction energy.
Along with him, two primordial spiritual treasures were also annihilated.
Primordial spiritual treasures are not easily destroyed, but Nidhogg specialized in the Dao of Destruction, and within him flowed Luo Fu's power—he could certainly destroy several mid-grade primordial spiritual treasures.
After destroying the Yellow Robe Demon and the primordial spiritual treasures, the destruction aura on Nidhogg's body grew even denser.
This was why Nidhogg agreed to come to the Primordial World.
Nidhogg was naturally attuned to the Dao of Destruction; every act of destruction enhanced his power, and the stronger the thing destroyed, the greater the power gained.
In his original world, Nidhogg enhanced his power by devouring the World Tree.
After learning his fate, the intelligent Nidhogg realized that merely devouring the World Tree could not alter his destiny—and would only accelerate the world's destruction.
Thus, Nidhogg sought to use the Myriad Worlds chat group to obtain treasures, destroy and devour them to increase his strength.
Luo Fu's invitation perfectly matched Nidhogg's needs.
The layer of the world in the Primordial World was clearly higher than that of Nidhogg's original world.
In the Primordial World, acquiring treasures would certainly be far easier.
To win the bet with Buddhism, he would need to face many enemies.
These enemies and their spiritual treasures were all nourishment for Nidhogg to elevate his strength realm.
A prospect with only benefits and no drawbacks—how could Nidhogg possibly refuse?
Thus, after Luo Fu extended the invitation, Nidhogg accepted without hesitation.
As soon as Luo Fu permitted them to drop their disguises, Nidhogg set his sights on the Yellow Robe Demon's primordial spiritual treasure.
A mid-grade primordial spiritual treasure was precisely the upper limit of what Nidhogg could currently digest and absorb.
However, Nidhogg could see that the Yellow Robe Demon specialized in the Dao of Wind.
Those skilled in this Dao are not slow when fleeing.
Simply from the standpoint of strength, with the magic power support provided by Luo Fu, Nidhogg was confident he could decisively defeat the Yellow Robe Demon.
But if the Yellow Robe Demon chose to flee, Nidhogg had no such confidence that he could certainly stop him.
Nidhogg wanted to leave behind both the Yellow Robe Demon and the primordial spiritual treasure they held. If the Yellow Robe Demon escaped, this battle would have been fought in vain.
