Chapter 95: Enhancement of True Divine Power

Soaring high in the sky, Naimi Xisi wanted to curse; the human who was tugging his tail not only loudly drew the demon's attention, but also kept swaying, trying to make himself drop him.

Going down? Looking for death?

Naimi Xisi looked at the deep‑red monster, and his heart felt as cold as icy seawater.

It was a Wolf‑Snake Demon; it would never admit defeat, the bloodiest, most brutal demon of the Abyss. Any Wolf‑Snake Demon is at least a level‑20 pseudo‑Legendary Level monster.

Who knows how long this demon has been awake, but when Naimi Xisi glanced around, he confirmed the victims were far more than Kolon; everything before him resembled a post‑Apocalypse wasteland—broken walls, ruins everywhere. He stared at the ten‑kilometre‑long fissure and saw a strange red seepage within.

When he focused his gaze, his complexion changed; the fissure was filled with countless human limbs and blood. That brutal demon, for some twisted amusement, had squeezed the entire city's populace alive into the crack.

Cold winds gusted, the wails of souls whispered in the air, and Naimi Xisi's cloak behind him grew ever brighter; he knew it was the anger of the Silver Holy Mother, urging him to stop this evil creature.

"What can I use to stop it?" Naimi Xisi said, on the verge of tears; the once‑daily chance to use the Darkest Hour had already vanished, and his only recourse was the Holy Radiance.

But looking at the demon's rampant evil aura, Naimi Xisi thought that even the Eight‑ring Divine Spell probably wouldn't work.

The Wolf‑Snake Demon's teal eyes fixed on the sky‑borne dragon; his voice thundered like a roar: "Heh, a Juan Ce Long, oh no, wait."

The Wolf‑Snake Demon seemed to notice something; his expression turned playful, and he said with interest, "The lord's insignia? Ha ha, today's really my lucky day."

"Kill you, take your soul to the lord as a tribute, and I will become a true demon lord!"

A flash of red light, and the Wolf‑Snake Demon, wielding a massive axe, instantly teleported behind the high‑altitude Naimi Xisi, delivering a crushing blow in an instant.

Naimi Xisi's soul fled, quickly teleporting to the limit of his ability—one kilometre away.

The missed Wolf‑Snake Demon slammed onto the ground; the scarlet axe blade struck the earth, unleashing violent energy. With a "Boom—" a blast erupted, carving a pit dozens of metres wide and over ten metres deep.

The axe's evil energy spread through the earth, spawning massive fissures that radiated from the pit, emitting eerie red light. Surrounding ruined buildings, their timbers moaning, fell into the Bottomless Abyss.

"Not bad at running," the Wolf‑Snake Demon grinned.

Naimi Xisi's expression turned solemn; in his heart he prayed to Selennye, "Can't handle this, goodbye."

Let whoever wants to go, go; making a young Juan Ce Long face a high‑tier demon of half‑step Legendary realm is sheer madness.

Don't be fooled by the Wolf‑Snake Demon's apparent lack of harm; it's merely playing. As a high‑tier demon, it can freely employ dozens of advanced spell abilities, including but not limited to Malevolent Transformation, Blasphemous Words, High‑Level Teleportation, Psychic Remote Control, Lightning Bolt, and others.

A being of this caliber is beyond his capacity; while the demon isn't taking it seriously, the only true move is to flee.

Naimi Xisi's cloak behind him dimmed slightly, as if its master sensed the situation and felt powerless.

Faintly, a weak female voice sighed into Naimi Xisi's ear.

"Little dragon, you must hold him. In ten minutes, an Artifact called the Death Moon Orb will arrive in this city; if the demon leaves before then, it will be completely free."

"Goddess, it's not that I don't want to; look what I have to hold this demon?" Naimi Xisi said wordlessly.

The voice sighed again, its tone tinged with pain: "I understand. I will help you. Ai O has barred our power from reaching the mortal realm, but one force is an exception—True Divine Power, the omnipotent energy formed from faith. Though striking the demon directly with divine power would still incur Ai O's punishment, from now on I can only use this force to fully amplify you, for ten minutes."

Before Naimi Xisi could refuse, an anomaly appeared in the dome's black moon.

Like shattered eggshells, dazzling silver moonlight burst from the cracked black moon, coalescing into an energy beam entwined with golden, sacred patterns.

The moonlight bathed Naimi Xisi, and the Wolf‑Snake Demon's complexion shifted instantly; he sensed the force that terrified and repelled him—Divine Power. Though he knew the dragon was receiving a deity's blessing, the demon dared not intervene, for he understood that Blasphemy is the only way a deity can directly project power to destroy itself.

The Wolf‑Snake Demon stared resentfully at the great dragon, unwilling to flee. Creatures bearing the seal of the Abyss's master—Dimogogen—are never simple; killing these marked beings and rising to demon lord is an unspoken rule known to most demons.

Putting the demon's turmoil aside, Naimi Xisi felt as if he had transcended; the mysteries of the world unfolded before his eyes, and his bodily power gave him the illusion that a single punch could shatter a mountain.

Six‑ring, seven‑ring, eight‑ring, nine‑ring—Magic Net permissions, under the influence of divine power, unfolded before him step by step; now he could even cast nine‑ring spells!

Unfortunately, aside from Conjuration and Divination, he possessed no spell models for high‑ring spells.

The blessing went further; Naimi Xisi felt his Physical Quality skyrocketing. He opened the panel and witnessed his Constitution, Strength, and Agility soaring at nearly one point per second.

The moonlight persisted for a full minute before fading slowly, and by then Naimi Xisi's three Physical Quality stats had all risen above 70.

"Is this really the power of True Divine Power? To briefly amplify to such terrifying levels, even affecting Magic Net permissions." Naimi Xisi inhaled a gasp of cold air.

"But it seems incomplete." Naimi Xisi sensed that his Psychic Ability and Divine Spell remained unchanged; the True Divine Power enhancement appeared to have only boosted his Magic Net permissions.

Selennye heard Naimi Xisi's words, her voice tinged with pain and anger: "What more do you want? Do you realize that merely raising your Magic Net permissions consumed an entire Divine Power Crystal from me! If used to boost your Physical Quality, it would be at least five times the current effect!"

"If you weren't a frail Juan Ce Long, I wouldn't bless you in such an extravagant way." Selennye's voice carried a hint of contempt.

"Alright, now you should be confident enough to spar with this demon. This Divine Power Crystal is stock I spent ten years gathering; I hope you won't waste my effort." the Silver Holy Mother urged with regret.

"Understood." Naimi Xisi replied outwardly, muttering inwardly that even among deities, this energy called True Divine Power was extremely precious. Selennye, as a mid‑tier deity on the Frelen Continent with millions of followers, had to spend ten years to collect a single condensed Divine Power crystal.

The great dragon clenched his fist, boundless surging power coiled within, a sensation alien to his normally frail body. He dived sharply toward the ground; the extreme speed generated a piercing sonic boom.

"Alright, Wolf‑Snake Demon, let's begin the second round." Naimi Xisi's draconic head twisted into a fierce grin.

The Wolf‑Snake Demon planted his axe on the ground, let out a terrifying howl, and his body flashed with red light, reappearing behind Naimi Xisi.

Seven‑ring transformation spell—Instantaneous Lightning Leap! The massive dragon's body suddenly collapsed into a bright, thick lightning bolt, evading the axe while slashing through the Wolf‑Snake Demon's form, striking five times within a second, then instantly leaping hundreds of metres away.

The Wolf‑Snake Demon felt pain; Arcane God Fusion and Arcane Spirit Fusion boosted all of Naimi Xisi's spell power by 200%, and although Lightning Leap is merely a five‑ring spell, it left five charred scars on the demon's surface.

But the demon's regeneration was extreme; the minor injury healed in an instant. He whirled back, hurling his axe toward Naimi Xisi; the massive force tore through the air, propelling the axe at over three times the speed of sound toward Naimi Xisi.

Seven‑ring Evocation spell—Instantaneous Force Wall Technique! Naimi Xisi made no move, calmly watching the axe approach. An invisible force wall rose before him; the Wolf‑Snake Demon's axe struck it, triggering a violent explosion that spread from the impact, the scarlet evil energy cracking the wall, yet the wall held its duty, only shattering after the axe's momentum was spent.

Naimi Xisi couldn't help but click his tongue; even the Force Wall could be shattered by brute force. The Wolf‑Snake Demon's strength was nearing that of a Legendary‑Level Melee Combatant, likely with at least 90 strength points.

Temporarily promoted to a level‑17 Mage, Naimi Xisi's high‑ring Spell Slots were also amplified by the Mind Gem; although his intelligence didn't rise, he still possessed forty nine‑ring Spell Slots.

After witnessing the Wolf‑Snake Demon's terrifying power, the Juan Ce Long abandoned using his freshly reinforced body for melee and continued with a spell‑bombardment strategy.

Naimi Xisi quickly cast an incantation; even with the convenience of draconic language, a nine‑ring spell still required fifty syllables. After the Wolf‑Snake Demon reclaimed his axe from thin air, he surged forward as a after‑image toward Naimi Xisi.

Helpless, Naimi Xisi kept using Psychic Ability to teleport himself, buying time for chanting.

"Defender of Truth, avenger of the fallen righteous, hand of the celestial exemplar, mighty commander of the divine legion—Otherworldly Divine Servant! Hear my summons and eradicate the demon before us!"
