Chapter 140: The Terrifying Power of the Purgatory Fire Dragon

"Devil?!" Yu Long watched the huge demonic dragon floating in the sky with caution; he has no memory of dragon inheritance, does not recognize the Purgatory Fire Dragon before him, but the devil's sulfuric stench is familiar to all high‑magic beings of the primary material plane.

"Hmph, devil?" the Purgatory Fire Dragon Wang Mu La snorted lightly, eyes disdainful; Purgatory Fire Dragons always acknowledge only their draconic lineage, even though they possess many devilish traits.

Wang Mu La glared at the heavy rain falling from the sky; as a devil dragon, she shares the devil's fire immunity and loathes rain, and the fire dragon opened her snarling, spiked maw and spewed vicious deep‑red flames toward the heavens.

Massive infernal flames scorched the whole sky, forming a fire‑cloud that blanketed the mountain; the rain never reached the ground, vaporizing instantly, then the flames merged with the hellfire's acidic energy, turning into a sulfuric liquid that fell again.

This time, however, what fell was not rain but the dark acid rain the Purgatory Fire Dragon delighted in.

The acid rain corroded the summit's jungle and thickets; many small creatures, unable to flee downhill, were poisoned to death by the toxin‑laden liquid.

Yu Long's expression darkened; his scales were hard, so the acid rain could not affect him, but the demonic dragon's apocalyptic blaze chilled him, making him fear he might be instantly scorched into a stagnant pool.

Naimi Xisi was very pleased with Wang Mu La's displayed power; the Purgatory Fire Dragon truly surpasses the Red Dragon, with an adult Red Dragon comparable to a level‑15 adventurer, while an adult Purgatory Fire Dragon is a level higher, akin to a level‑16 adventurer.

The Purgatory Fire Dragon's breath is not the simple flame of a Red Dragon but hellfire; its vicious blaze carries Red Dragon‑level heat and deadly acidic damage, making it an undeniable area‑of‑effect lethal weapon.

And that is not the Purgatory Fire Dragon's full power.

Wang Mu La roared toward the sky; her massive evil aura instantly tore a spatial rift near the lake, from which six hulking figures emerged.

The six monsters were entirely covered in metal plates fastened by spikes driven straight into flesh; the pierced spots constantly dripped black blood, enshrouding their armor and bodies in gore.

They are Blood Armor Demons comparable to level‑9 adventurers, summoned as servants by the Purgatory Fire Dragon's innate super‑ability "Summoning Batzu Demon."

These beasts were hideously deformed by pain yet possessed a primitive cunning; their lower jaws were riddled with broken fangs, and maggots crawled over their wounds.

They looked utterly repulsive.

An adult Purgatory Fire Dragon not only possesses the devil‑level demon‑summoning ability but also various spell‑like powers, such as the evil attack "Goodness Sever" against benevolent beings, the poisonous energy wave "Poison Strike," as well as "Plague Technique," "Flame Storm," "Teleportation," and so on.

Moreover, as they age, ancient and primeval dragons can acquire ultra‑high‑level spell‑like abilities like "Level 9 Monster Summoning" and "Withering Death Technique."

Coupled with the Purgatory Fire Dragon's robust body and a tail bristling with saw‑blade‑like spikes, it can be called a tremendously powerful Hexagonal Warrior.

The summoned Blood Armor Demons stared vacantly at Yu Long; they are mindless projections controlled by the Purgatory Fire Dragon's demonic power.

At that moment they drew massive butcher's cleavers from their backs and rushed toward the Yu Long in the lake. Yu Long erupted in fury; though he is not a benevolent creature, he too despises devils, just like any normal being.

Seeing the filthy Blood Armor Demons invade his meticulously tended lake, Yu Long gathered angry demonic energy and activated his water‑manipulating spell‑like ability.

A strange hiss like serpent and tiger hair rang out, and the lake's water, as if summoned, surged into towering waves; the six Blood Armor Demons charging into the lake were instantly blasted away by the torrent, crashing hard onto the ground, one even swept so far it fell off a cliff on the spot.

Wang Mu La, seeing her six summoned demons dispatched with a single move, was not angry, only gave a cruel smile and launched another attack.

A deep‑purple energy wave gathered in her mouth, then formed a massive energy projectile hurled toward Yu Long; Yu Long swiftly dodged, his body gliding agilely through the water, narrowly missing the projectile.

Yet the power of "Poison Strike" began to spread in the water; the huge purple energy projectile exploded, instantly dyeing the green lake water violet, and the lethal toxin spread, contaminating nearly half the lake with the Purgatory Fire Dragon's demonic power.

"Damn it!!" Yu Long shouted in fury, his heart aching as he gazed at his ruined lake—the home he had dwelled in for fifty years! To avoid the troublesome toxin, he scrambled ashore; the sky seemed to react to his sour mood, and between flashes and thunder, several bolts of lightning struck down, targeting Wang Mu La.

Wang Mu La remained unhurried; as a devil‑like colossal dragon, she wielded the ability most high‑level great demons possess—instantaneous teleportation.

The lightning was indeed swift, but not faster than "Teleportation"; the Purgatory Fire Dragon's form flickered and vanished, and the bolts, frustrated, struck the ground.

"Alright, I'm done playing with you, little earthworm, let me roast you." Wang Mu La's eyes showed boredom; she was tired of the game.

"Don't kill him; spare his life," Naimi Xisi's voice echoed in Wang Mu La's mind, causing a flash of unwillingness in the fire dragon's evil eyes, yet she dared not defy her master's command.

Naimi Xisi didn't care about the fire dragon's thoughts; the strength of this Yu Long greatly piqued his interest—Gonde facing him one‑on‑one would likely gain no advantage, chiefly because Bronze Dragons are extremely averse to water.

Such a powerful pseudo‑dragon is perfectly suited to become his subordinate, his Dependents.

Under Naimi Xisi's instruction, Wang Mu La, who had intended to annihilate Yu Long with endless hellfire, altered her strategy; she repeatedly bombarded him with alternating "Poison Strike" and the weaker "Flame Storm," then, after Yu Long was exhausted, ensnared him tightly with her sharp chainsaw tail.

The tail's barbed spikes plunged deep into Yu Long's body, viciously hooking his flesh; excruciating pain left Yu Long too terrified to move, abandoning any struggle.

"I concede. Mighty True Dragon, your servant is so formidable that I surrender wholeheartedly!" Yu Long said sarcastically, bowing his head in surrender; he doesn't think he couldn't defeat that young dragon, only that his servant was overwhelmingly powerful! Heaven knows where that young dragon subjugated such a monster!
