Chapter 285: Reactivating the Chaos Demon Star

While Naimi Xisi observed the battle, the Death Dance on the battlefield rose to its climax. A Er Fengsi suddenly split into three thousand blood‑red bats, soaring through the plasma net spewed by Pu La Si Dun.

When the bat swarm reformed on the dragon's back, the frost‑laden bone sword shifted into a piercing form—this is the cavalry lance "Pale Raider" forged from the vertebrae of an adult bone dragon.

The vampire knight's thrust struck precisely the third vertebral ganglion of the blue dragon. Pu La Si Dun's thunderous breath missed, blasting the sandstone hill two kilometres to the southeast into a glassy state.

A Er Fengsi seized the chance, thrusting the lance's grip into a gap between the dragon's scales; negative energy flowed along the lance into the blue dragon's circulatory system—those negative‑energy particles were paralyzing electrical signal transmission.

Naimi Xisi adjusted the focus of the observation prism and noticed a hidden rune traced by the blue dragon's tail tip on the sand. When Pu La Si Dun pretended to stagger, he immediately sent a Mana warning to A Er Fengsi: "Watch the ground fifteen meters below."

In the next instant, Lightning Bolt pierced the void like a spear, striking the vampire's chest. With the warning, A Er Fengsi instinctively activated Shadow Leap and narrowly evaded the blow.

Seeing his long‑planned ambush fail, Pu La Si Dun finally panicked. He could not believe that this lowly Undead possessed such overwhelming power; even with the blue dragon's near‑70 strength, he could gain nothing from the opponent.

The battlefield grew increasingly cruel and magnificent. Each time the vampire's bone sword sliced the dragon's scales, it left frost‑etched patterns on the blue dragon's surface—necromantic sword art that freezes life force with negative energy.

Pu La Si Dun's tail swipe cut through three sand‑stone slopes, but A Er Fengsi always leapt onto the dragon's back atop the falling debris, hammering the wing‑root joint with the lance's hilt.

After the seventeenth wing beat missed, the blue dragon lord finally showed a flaw. A Er Fengsi's bone sword suddenly fragmented into three hundred blood‑thorn vines; these barbed magical plants pierced the dragon's body through the scale gaps. Pu La Si Dun let out a deafening wail.

The frost‑mixed negative energy further weakened the already frail blue dragon, and Pu La Si Dun collapsed in helpless agony.

"Combat duration 19 minutes 47 seconds, a bit longer than I expected," Naimi Xisi spread his wings and descended before the defeated, preventing the vampire's decapitation.

A Er Fengsi respectfully sheathed the Eternal Winter Sword, stood behind the great dragon, and waited silently for his fate.

He knew he was only temporarily summoned to the material plane, but Mages always find a way to make the temporary permanent, turning Summoning into binding.

Although this necromantic spell greatly amplified the summoned entity's power, the price was that it became a time‑limited Summoning spell.

Even though this Summoning spell exerts absolute suppression over the summoned, it still cannot change the fact that the spell has become a tactical choice rather than a strategic one for the Necromancer.

Fortunately, Naimi Xisi can feel the connection with the opponent; the next time he casts this spell, he can choose not to summon a random target but to summon the already familiar A Er Fengsi.

For Naimi Xisi, the shift from permanent to temporary Summoning is not a great loss.

Ordinary High‑Level Summoning of Undead produces only a swarm of sub‑standard weaklings; even if numbers win, the proud Juan Ce Long will not stoop to collecting corpses, and he lacks the patience for such dirty work.

Compared with a pile of trash, he prefers a single elite of great strength. He must admit that the Eight‑Circle Spell reinforced by a power gem far exceeded Naimi Xisi's expectations.

Whether it is terrifying lava covering several kilometers or casually summoning and enslaving a level‑20 powerhouse, it already skirts the edge of Legendary spells.

Though still a distance away, it already creates a huge gap from ordinary Eight‑Circle Spells, even Nine‑Circle Spells.

At this pace, Naimi Xisi doubts that when he can cast a Nine‑Circle Spell, the power will truly reach Legendary level—though only the lowest tier of Legendary.

Naimi Xisi stepped before Pu La Si Dun; mountain‑sized shadows blocked the sunlight, and backlit Pu La Si Dun could only see the violet‑hued eyes beneath the darkness.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you," Naimi Xisi said lightly.

"You will only change the form in which you live."

He extended his left claw, and a black‑red demonic egg‑shaped Artifact radiating extremely evil aura appeared in his claw; twelve circular Spell Circles blossomed from the tip, awakening the forbidden relic sealed in the Star Realm crevice—"Chaos Demon Star". The dragon egg, flowing with abyssal twilight, burst forth, its surface etched with dark‑red patterns like imprisoned infernal fire.

"In the name of the Five‑Colored Dragon Mother, witness the thunder's devotion to the inferno. 'Dragon Tongue chant shatters the clouds; the Chaos Star egg shell opens seven amber vertical pupils.' The blue dragon Kasaren, bound by blood‑thorn vines, struggles violently; his lightning‑breath, upon touching the Demon Star, is devoured by the egg's blood‑red tendrils."

A Er Fengsi Xue Ji's bone sword suddenly wailed, the vampire knight's pallid knuckles burst with blood droplets. The awakening pressure of this ancient Artifact caused the Undead's blood core to throb with searing pain.

Pu La Si Dun's body went rigid, fearfully staring at the black‑red magical egg; he saw within the shadows cast by the Demon Star countless dragon souls wailing and drifting in a river of sulfur.

Naimi Xisi dipped his tail tip into lava, drawing a triple‑crown totem in the void. The Chaos Demon Star resonated with an ancient dragon Rune and began to rotate; molten‑gold patterns on the egg shell lit up one by one, weaving an annihilation net over the blue dragon. Pu La Si Dun's scales peeled like autumn leaves, turning into drifting sparks before touching the ground, revealing a writhing scarlet tissue beneath.

"Stop! How dare you desecrate the True Dragon's glory!" The blue dragon's roar carried its final strength, shattering the sand‑stone surface within a hundred‑meter radius. Yet the Demon Star's mouth had become a void vortex that devoured everything, pulling the mountain‑sized body inch by inch toward the chaotic core. The lightning heart's erupting arcs stalled in the vortex, frozen eternally like insects trapped in amber.

A Er Fengsi watched the blue dragon's amber vertical pupils grow cloudy, a six‑pointed star seal of infernal fire appearing on the iris. Inside the Demon Star came the sticky sound of flesh reshaping, a sulfur‑tinged thudding swelling within the egg. The vampire knight suddenly realized that the eerie black egg was using the blue dragon's blood and flesh as pigment, repainting a wholly different apocalyptic creation.

When Naimi Xisi's first drop of blood fell on the Demon Star's surface, the eggshell instantly became crystal‑clear—its coiled dragon embryo glowed crimson, its spine spikes burning with never‑extinguishing prison fire, and three reverse‑hook bone spines sprouted from the tail‑bone tip.

"After thirty moonrises, the infernal crown will gain another member," Naimi Xisi said with a satisfied smile.

A Er Fengsi knelt on one knee; the great dragon's might had completely subjugated the proud vampire: "Great master, I, A Er Fengsi Xue Ji, am willing to become your eternally loyal servant, forever bathed in the True Dragon's radiance."
