Emerging from the underground palace, Harold felt as if he had escaped death. Although he did not encounter any more dark creatures on the way, the pressure from the gods still weighed heavily on him.
However, when he looked up, he was stunned. The aura emanating from the enormous dragon shadow in the sky was even stronger than what he had felt in the underground palace. In front of it, he felt like a little wolf cub who could be crushed at will.
"This is Lord Oros, a fallen demigod-level dragon soul!" introduced the Silver Laurel Moon Elf who came to meet them.
The seventh rank is demigod. Oros hasn't made a move in a long time, mainly because of the damage that dark energy has done to his soul. However, the energy he felt in the underground palace today gave Ye Chen a bad feeling, and the appearance of the divine aura also shocked him. Therefore, he summoned Oros.
As it turned out, he was right. If it weren't for the arrival of Oros, even Tarzan and the others might have been trapped in the underground palace forever under the pressure of the gods. Only the gods could stand against them.
"Roar~~~" As the group escaped, a deafening roar echoed around them, and the temperature gradually rose, with flames even faintly appearing.
"Go back first!" Oros's voice rang out, reaching deep into everyone's souls.
Ye Ling nodded and began to lead everyone in retreat, while Ye Chen's Baixiantai also began to accept the returning clansmen.
"Hmph!" Oros's enormous dragon eyes looked down indifferently, his illusory body exuding an indescribable majesty that rendered the many lava beasts in the underground palace unable to move.
Compared to the dark creature that only has one heart and is still in the process of evolving, Oros's power is undoubtedly much greater. It's just a pity that the dark energy is too corrosive to the soul, making it impossible for Oros to stay in the darkness for long. Ye Chen is also trying to find a solution to this problem.
No matter how much the other party roared, Oros remained unmoved until everyone had left. Only then did he let out a cold snort and return to the Primordial Star, flying directly to Fengdu City.
Separated by Yin and Yang, although the soul can walk normally, it is not very comfortable under the light of the three-legged golden crow, and over time the life force of living beings will also damage the soul.
"Boom~~~" Without Oros's suppression, the magma in the underground palace suddenly erupted, and a large number of lava creatures emerged. Magma flowed all around, and the dark red light illuminated the land, becoming the only bright spot in the darkness.
"What's going on?" Many lords around exclaimed in surprise, turning their territories around to look in this direction.
"I don't know, it seems to be a volcanic eruption? But isn't this a dead star? Where did the volcano come from?" one person asked in confusion.
"Could it be that this planet is actually still alive?"
"Do you think that's possible? They've practically dug through the very core of that place!"
"Then... he's not completely dead? After all, this lava seems a bit dark!"
"It's not impossible, perhaps there really is... a dark creature!"
Finally, someone discovered the lava behemoth's presence and exclaimed in surprise.
The presence of dark creatures indicates that this magma was not naturally preserved from the planet, but rather flowed from the bodies of these dark creatures.
"Lava behemoth, a mid-level race, the strongest of which has appeared is at the true god level!" Someone recognized this dark creature and exclaimed in surprise.
A true god-level being is an eighth-order creature, a being powerful enough to intimidate any region, capable of destroying and rebuilding a world with their bare hands. How could such a creature appear in a reclaimed star field? That's terrifying.
"Something's not right this time. We can't handle the lava behemoth. We need to request reinforcements!"
"What are you asking for? It's not like mid-level races are completely helpless. Maybe it's a merit they're deliberately leaving for us?"
While some are cautious, others are greedy. A group of mid-level dark creatures is not to be underestimated in such a star field; each one is worth a lot of merit points, and there may even be more treasures among them.
Of course, if they knew that there were demigod-level beings among them, they probably wouldn't even dare to think about it and would immediately report the situation to higher authorities.
These low-ranking lords, working together, might be able to deal with a mid-ranking dark creature race, but against a demigod, they wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Only God can kill God!
Ye Chen didn't waste time with them and directly called Wang Xinghe to report the situation, trusting that he would have a detailed follow-up plan.
"No, you managed to escape from a seventh-tier creature?" After understanding the situation, Wang Xinghe asked in great shock. Although a seventh-tier creature is a demigod, it still has the word "god" in its name. How could you escape unharmed so easily?
"Emmmm, I have some life-saving methods, which held them off for a while!" Ye Chen replied somewhat awkwardly, without directly mentioning that he had a demigod-level familiar, but it was enough to shock Wang Xinghe.
"What an amazing newcomer! Is a planetary lord really that strong?" Wang Xinghe exclaimed, his tone full of disbelief.
"It's alright, it's just good luck. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now!" Ye Chen said modestly, and was about to turn around and leave when Wang Xinghe stopped him.
"No, no, no! Wait a minute. You can hold off the seventh-tier creature. Keep an eye on things over there. They're calling for reinforcements up there right now. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't escape. Otherwise, things could get really bad!" Wang Xinghe said quickly.
"No? What do you mean? This is a seventh-tier creature! You don't really think I can handle it, do you?" Ye Chen was stunned and asked incredulously. Asking him to stare at a seventh-tier dark creature? That's giving him way too much credit.
Oros did indeed possess demigod-level strength, but his soul could not withstand the erosion of darkness for long, especially since he could not use the true fire of the sun to expel the darkness. Therefore, it was impossible for him to fight against a seventh-tier creature for an extended period of time.
Regardless of winning or losing, he won't even need to fight a single match; he will be swallowed by darkness and completely transformed into a dark creature.
Therefore, while Oros could help Ye Chen's clan evacuate, he couldn't actually fight a seventh-tier demigod. In a battle of this level, evenly matched opponents could easily fight for days and nights or even months, and he couldn't last that long.
"I didn't ask you to handle it! Just stall for a bit, the higher-ups are calling for reinforcements, they'll send people over soon!" Wang Xinghe said nonchalantly. "That's all for now, I still need to contact a few leaders and report this to them, hang in there!"
Ye Chen: "..."
"What kind of nonsense is this? Is this something a new lord should be doing?"
