The Southern Sea Dragon King instantly noticed something was wrong with Ao Feng. He immediately asked, "Feng, what's wrong?"

Ao Feng avoided eye contact as if he was hiding something. He said, "Father, I'm fine."

​​

The Southern Sea Dragon King did not look happy at all. He asked sternly, "Who hurt you? How dare they?!"

Spurt!

Suddenly, Ao Shu spat out blood. He went pale and looked weak.

Several Dragons were pale from injuries, too.

The Southern Sea Dragon King was immediately furious. He felt aggravated, "Did they bully us Dragons because we're few in numbers? Who did this?!"

Ao Shu took a deep breath and said, "It's the Kirins!"

Ao Feng sighed and said, "After Lord Kunpeng died, the Kirins started to call themselves the new leaders of the Demons. They even came to the Southern Sea and told us to obey them. We were infuriated, so we fought…"

"Really?"

The Southern Sea Dragon King was trembling from anger. He growled, "How daring of them! They came to us and told us to obey. What gave them the confidence to do so?"

Ao Feng panted and said, "Father, now that Lord Kunpeng tragically died, we're unsure of the situation. It's not appropriate to start a war with the Kirins. My small injury… Cough, it's nothing. Just worry about the big picture… Cough…"

"Big picture my foot! They dared insult us on our territory. You think I'll stand by and watch?"

The Southern Sea Dragon King was filled with rage. His hair stood on ends and he bellowed, "Kunpeng's dead. The Southern Sea Dragons shall rise! The war between the Dragons and the Kirins is unavoidable. So be it. We can take care of them at once. There won't be any more opponents for the Dragons!"

They were still sensible. They knew that they could not mess with the Heavenly Palace. Lord Kunpeng was turned into soup. They would probably end up being barbequed meat.

The Jade Emperor and Empress protected the Heavenly Palace. He could only talk smack. Only fools would scheme against the Heavenly Palace.

Therefore, he placed his ambitions on the Demons. He wanted to be the Demon King!

According to reliable sources, the Nine-Tailed Fox was badly injured by Lord Kunpeng. Lord Kunpeng was no longer alive so the leader of Demons could either be a Dragon or a Kirin.

As long as they defeated the Kirins, the Southern Sea Dragons would rule the Demon Realm. Moreover, the Kirins attacked them. They had no reason to let it be!

The Southern Sea Dragon King picked up his broadsword. He could not wait to say, "Pass down my orders, gather the Dragons. Follow me to attack the Kirins. We'll attack them when they least expect it!"

"Yes, mighty Dragon King!" cheered everyone. Then, they gathered an army of Southern Sea Dragons after half an hour. They headed toward the Kirin Cliff.

They were halfway there when they ran into the Kirins.

The Southern Sea Dragon King and the Kirin leader were obviously taken aback. However, the Dragons and the Kirins cursed each other out before either could speak.

They yelled and shouted like they had a never-ending grudge.

Then, they fought without hesitation.

The Southern Sea Dragon King and the Kirin leader were still dumbfounded. However, their people were fighting. They could not just stand by and watch. They immediately went into battle mode.

The Southern Sea Dragon King said in a low voice, "Chief Kirin, it's not too late to beg for mercy. We can save each other's time and energy, it's good for both of us."

"Haha, what a joke. You dare speak like that when you rely on the Dragon Soul Bead, you little worm!" Chief Kirin mercilessly mocked him. "You should be the one that begs for mercy! I was born to be the Demon King. I shall lead the Demons!"

"You too, right? You only rely on your great ancestors! Whatever. I'm going to show you what I'm made of!"

"Ha. Is this the threat of an insect? Die!"

The leaders instantly battled. They cast spells and used weapons.

They were both beginner Quasi-Saints. Each attack they made was earth-shattering. 

They left the scene to avoid injuring their own people. They battled so hard, their Power of Law created earthquakes.

The two Quasi-Saints would usually restrain themselves in battles. They were usually sensible so they would not fight to the death.

However, the two of them were enraged. They could not help being violent.

The Dragons and the Kirins had an extreme battle. It was gory and there were dead bodies everywhere. They died tragically, too. They had reached a point of no return.

"Dragon King, avenge me! Kill them!"

"For the glory of the Kirins, attack!"

They had to scream passionately before they died. It instantly affected the Southern Sea Dragon King and Chief Kirin. They started to cry as they battled hard.

"Feng!"

Suddenly, the Southern Sea Dragon King yelled. He saw his beloved son lying in a pool of blood.

"Uncle!"

Chief Kirin also yelled. He watched as Kirin Zhou peacefully closed his eyes.

"No!"

The Southern Sea Dragon King and Chief Kirin were maniacal with rage. They had bloodshot eyes. They knew that the battle had become a deadly one.

One of them lost his son, the other lost his uncle. A lot of their people died. The pain turned to endless rage and hatred. They kept roaring in their true forms.

The two of them fought from the Above Immortal Realm to the Chaos. The stars were damaged, explosions kept echoing between realms. The three realms were not suitable locations for the battle of the Quasi-Saints. They could only head toward the Chaos.

Any attack from a Quasi-Saint could cause serious harm in the three realms.

The Dragon and the Kirin bit and attacked each other in the Chaos. As their powers grew, their bodies expanded to an abnormal size. They were larger than a small star. The Southern Sea Dragon King flicked his tail and smashed a star to dust.

The battle went on for half an hour. They were both ferocious so they did not run or defend themselves, which was why they were both injured all over in the end. They might even be disabled.

The two of them could not fight anymore. They were exhausted but they were still cursing each other out.

"You killed my Dragon son. Just you wait. One day, I'll annihilate the Kirins!"

"So cruel. We Kirins will make the Southern Sea Dragons pay with blood!"

Suddenly, a bunch of figures appeared and slowly surrounded them. They looked at them and saw familiar faces.

Chief Kirin and the Southern Sea Dragon King were both taken aback. They even thought that they were hallucinating.

'What's going on?'

'Aren't these dead people supposed to be floating above the ocean's surface?'

'Why are they uninjured and fine?'

Then, the Southern Sea Dragon King was overjoyed. He exclaimed, "Feng, you're not dead? Hurry, Chief Kirin's weak right now, kill him!"

Ao Feng waved it off and said, "Quick, hurry and tie my father up. Make sure you tie it well. Also, remember to seal his powers with the Immortal Item. We have to do this for the Lord Demon King."

The Southern Sea Dragon King was shocked. He instantly felt like he no longer knew these familiar faces. He was thunderstruck. He yelled in a deranged voice, "What's the meaning of this? What are you doing? Stop! Treachery! Treachery!"

"Dragon King, you'll understand why we're doing this in the future. We're doing this for your own good!"

…

Meanwhile.

Deified Dog stepped on air and arrived at the Chaos.

The Chaos was directionless. Deified Dog navigated his way with his nose. After passing by countless stars, he finally arrived somewhere in the Chaos.

A lot of stars were there. However, one of the stars was dim. It appeared to be grey and dead. Not very eye-catching at all.

Deified Dog landed on the star and flew toward something.

Soon, Deified Dog was in front of a huge mountain. Deified Dog barked at the mountain.

A man in silver armor suddenly opened his eyes. He had a silver pattern on his forehead.

The man was very handsome and he looked like an elegant prince. However, he looked pale and weak like he was sick.

He sat crossed-legged at the mountain, sitting on an extremely unique pattern. The pattern was huge and he was at the center of it. Powers rose from the spell pattern and emitted hues.

He raised his hand and gently swiped the space in front of him.

The view of the outside world instantly appeared in front of him. He noticed that Deified Dog was barking. He started to walk on the mountain path.

The man looked happy. He smiled with his pale lips and said, "Deified Dog, you came to see me."

However, he soon felt uneasy. He frowned at Deified Dog and knew that something was off.

He watched Deified Dog walk over to him. Deified Dog looked determined and excited.

"Hehe—"

A sudden weird sneer could be heard. The spell pattern beneath him went out. The walls around him slightly shook and he could hear a mocking voice say, "You tried your best to send your dog out but it was all for nothing. It did nothing. It came back to die. I'm dying from laughter…"
