In less than an hour, the number of dark creatures had dwindled to a point where the army could not fight them off. Many members of the clan began to take breaks to rest and recover their strength as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Jian Mengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that this war was finally about to end.
However, she did not notice that Ye Chen's expression did not relax at all; he was still staring intently at the direction of the source of darkness in the starry sky.
"Roar~~~" Finally, accompanied by a deafening roar, the smile on Jian Mengyi's face also froze.
"This is... Dilghus? A variant of the Dark Lord?" Jian Mengyi gasped. If the Starry Sky Beast was just a prelude, then Dilghus was the true Dark God, and the vast aura emanating from his body made people tremble.
"Phew~~~ Thank goodness!" Unlike Jian Mengyi, Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Dilges's appearance. His strength at the initial seventh rank was not enough to make Zhulong feel afraid.
"A bunch of laughable fools, daring to try to stop the coming of darkness, how utterly ridiculous!" The tall Dilges sneered, his dark skin and armor, combined with his demonic head, made him look extremely ferocious.
"It seems no one ever told you that villains die from talking too much!" Ye Chen said softly, the stone sculpture behind him having disappeared at some point.
As Ye Chen finished speaking, the entire starry sky darkened, and a fluorescent color flashed through the darkness. Dirgers felt a crisis approaching, then felt a chill on his neck, and the next moment he saw a large amount of dark blood gushing out, and his aura quickly weakened.
"What? When?" Dirgers' voice suddenly became hoarse and weak. He looked up at the starry sky in horror and saw a slender creature moving in the darkness, with a terrifying aura emanating from its body.
Especially when he saw the opponent moving between reality and illusion, he immediately realized that it was the power of space that made the opponent rush to his side in an instant and launch a fatal attack.
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Ye Chen said slowly. He didn't care what Dirgers was thinking, but he knew that after a successful strike, it was the best time to press the attack.
Gods possess incredibly strong vitality; such a seemingly fatal throat-slitting blow might not even kill ordinary dark creatures, let alone a dark god like Dirghus.
Therefore, neither Ye Chen nor Zhulong were careless. After a brief retreat and rest, Zhulong did not give the other party time to recover and swooped down again.
"Roar~~~" This time, Dirgers truly felt the crisis of his life. He couldn't care less about recovering from his injuries. He let the black blood gush out and struggled to raise his arms, trying to block the Candle Dragon's attack.
"Boom~~~" A thick, dark barrier quickly formed in front of him, but the speed of the Candle Dragon was too fast. In the process of crossing space, it rushed to Dilgus's front almost instantly.
Before the Dark Barrier could fully take shape, the enormous dragon's body swept across, shattering the barrier. Two armored arms flew out, and Dirgers' entire body tumbled and rolled under the immense impact, appearing extremely disheveled.
Fortunately, by sacrificing both arms, it managed to save its life, but the newly added huge wound on its chest made its breath increasingly weak.
"Roar~~~" Zhulong roared in the starry sky. The two consecutive high-intensity attacks left him panting. He turned around and prepared to launch another attack. Dilges had also caught his breath and abandoned his plan to continue recovering from his injuries. Instead, he risked everything and charged towards Zhulong first.
A surge of violent dark energy gathered around him, and he charged toward Zhulong like a meteor projectile.
"Black Starburst! It has an extremely strong impact force. Once it hits..." Jian Mengyi exclaimed, but before she could finish speaking, she saw the dark energy meteorite pass through the body of the Candle Dragon, as if it were a projection and was not affected in the slightest.
"Either death or serious injury..." Jian Mengyi slowly uttered the following words, then gave Ye Chen a resentful look and stopped speaking.
"Bang!" Dirgers crashed into a large meteorite, which instantly turned into dust. He used the force of the impact to stop, turned around and looked at Zhulong, his solemn expression tinged with pain.
Unfortunately, before he could react, his gaze, which he had just raised, was immediately filled with the enormous head of the Candle Dragon.
"Boom~~~" The body of the Candle Dragon rushed over, its massive dragon body becoming a sharp blade, slicing through Dilges' body. The huge demon body was instantly cut in two and floated silently in the starry sky.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still for a split second in the entire starry sky. All the dark creatures couldn't help but look in the direction of Dirgoth, letting out a mournful cry and a cheer.
Having lived in the source of darkness for countless years, this was the god who ruled them. Now that the god has fallen, after a brief period of grief, they have also ushered in more opportunities and freedom.
It's likely that even Dirgers himself couldn't have imagined that just minutes after emerging from the source of darkness and uttering those grand pronouncements, it would perish in the starry sky.
It only launched one direct attack from beginning to end, but Zhulong dodged it by hiding in the void. Then it stepped out of the void and followed closely behind it. When it stopped, it immediately launched a fatal blow.
"Roar~~~" After killing Dilges, Zhulong did not linger in the darkness for long, but immediately returned to the Primordial Star, transformed into a stone statue and stood on Zhangwei Mountain to recover its excessively consumed energy.
"Shouldn't this be over by now?" Jian Mengyi looked at Ye Chen and Zhulong for a while before finally speaking up.
The battle in the darkness has begun again. The creatures of the dark will not be discouraged by the death of their god. Hunting life is their innate instinct and desire, and it will not stop because of any change.
Some dark creatures even ventured into the starry sky to feed on the scattered blood of the Dirghus. The immense dark energy contained within rapidly boosted their strength, especially some lower-ranking dark creatures, who even quickly advanced to the fourth rank as a result.
“Until the very last moment, no one knows whether some powerful creature will emerge from the source of darkness,” Ye Chen replied in a deep voice, making Jian Mengyi feel extremely uneasy.
"No? No? Really? This isn't over yet? Isn't that a bit much?"
Perhaps to confirm Ye Chen's words, as soon as Jian Mengyi's incredulous voice fell, a massive number of dark creatures surged out from the dark origin in the starry sky. Their formidable strength was astonishing. This was an army of millions of dark creatures of the fourth rank or above, and even tens of thousands of sixth-rank creatures.
Moreover, amidst the adulation of all, an aura even more powerful than Dirgers emerged from the source of darkness.
