Chapter 263 - King of the Sky

Since the moon exploded millions of years ago, raining down countless meteoric fire, the creatures of this world had never witnessed such a sight again.

A crimson comet, spanning the entire continent, streaked across the sky like a golden-red sun plowing through the heavens from beyond the cosmos, shaking the nine realms.

The sky rumbled and vibrated, like the most intense thunderclaps exploding.

Boundless dark clouds collapsed, as if all the seas were rising in colossal waves from the sky, surging forward. It was a roar and tremor comparable to the might of a deity.

Even from the ground, looking up, it was difficult to discern the face of the crimson comet in the sky. One could only feel an irresistible, powerful, and overbearing aura sweeping past with the crimson comet.

Countless demons thought it was a meteorite falling from the sky, wailing in the language of the Abyss Demons, roaring: "The world is about to be destroyed, completely occupied by demons! Welcome the end of this world!"

Only powerful high-level demons could vaguely see that the comet streaking across the sky was a unique giant dragon.

An Ancestor Red Dragon of unparalleled might, its six massive Dragon Horns tearing through the resistance of the air, gathering boundless magical energy, charging through the sky.

Hundreds of meters below the Ancestor Red Dragon's flight path, the surging tide of demons in the sky were also swept down by the air currents from the Ancestral Dragon's flapping wings, wailing and flapping their wings powerlessly as they fell.

Hundreds of thousands of relatively weaker Bat Demons and Owl Demons were directly exploded by the shockwave from the Ancestral Dragon's flight, their blood raining down, only to be instantly vaporized by the massive deep-red flames, vanishing from this world in an instant, their chaotic demon souls unable to escape.

The surging elemental and magical energy could not keep up with the Ancestor Red Dragon's body. Massive elemental and magical storms formed vortexes that appeared one after another around the Ancestor Red Dragon's blazing deep-red flames.

Under the terrifying absorption power within the Ancestor Red Dragon, all magical and elemental energy in any area it passed through would be instantly sucked dry, forming a vacuum zone of magic and elements.

Even the sunlight in the sky seemed to be instantly devoured by this terrifying absorption power. The vortexes, flowing with elemental and magical light, instantly transformed into black hole-like existences.

Countless dense black hole-like wind eyes and sounds slowly emerged behind the crimson comet's tail flame, like demon eyes descending into the world from another realm.

This also caused the sky beneath the Ancestor Red Dragon's path to temporarily plunge into darkness.

Only that scorching red flame, dozens of miles long and several miles wide, became the sole light in the world, beneath the sun.

A powerful Demon Lesser Lord stood atop a high mountain, gazing towards the infinitely distant horizon.

This winged infernal creature, with its head adorned with thick bone horns and its face featuring long tusks, exemplified its perfect demon form.

Layers of burning, flowing flames erupted from its dark-red muscles. The segmented, barbed whip in its left hand was also enveloped in flames, imbuing the infernal Barlog's whip with formidable deterrence.

Beneath its right arm, where dark-red muscles bulged in layers, it also clutched a greatsword forged from Abyssal Dead Iron.

This Beheading Greatsword, which the Barlog race crafted and nurtured, looked like a bundle of infernal flames, a dazzling lightning bolt, in the hands of this Demon Lord.

It was the terrifying infernal creature that no demon could match in strength and brutality—the Barlog Lord.

In the endless planes of the Bottomless Abyss, most Barlogs served Demon Lords as their generals or officers.

Those Barlogs who did not serve Demon Lords possessed even greater power and authority, commanding their own demon armies and dominating a region.

An ordinary adult Barlog, when standing, was only about four meters tall. This Barlog, however, stood twelve meters tall when on the mountaintop, proving the immense strength of this Demon Lesser Lord.

At the foot of the mountains, the boundless demon hordes, currently engaged in the destruction and conquest of the entire world, were its commanded legions.

In this world, its power and status were only beneath that of the Legendary Demon Sakretes. Although this Barlog had once been easily defeated when challenging the Legendary Demon Sakretes, it did not diminish its confidence.

For no Barlog would ever be a coward; they never refused an opportunity to join a battle.

Even the unparalleled might of the Ancestor Red Dragon did not deter this proud infernal lord.

"A powerful Red Dragon, but that is no reason for you to cross through my territory, to fly over my head," the infernal Barlog named Don Quixote stretched its massive wings with a whoosh, and the flames from hell blazed fiercely.

The speed of the Ancestor Red Dragon was something even the arrogant Barlog could not match. The terrifying sonic boom was left far behind by the Ancestor Red Dragon, making its flight almost silent.

So, the infernal lord's bulging leg muscles swelled, and he stomped the mountaintop, then with a whoosh, flapped his wings and took flight. The innate spell-like bloodline power that he could control surged within him.

Higher Teleportation was instantly activated, sending this Barlog Lord high into the sky, blocking the path of the crimson comet.

The Barlog stood suspended in the air, infernal flames blazing, covering the entire body of this sturdy and brutal demon. The powerful aura soaring into the sky made countless demons on the ground roar.

"Get down here, you ostentatious giant dragon! This is my territory, Don Quixote's domain! How dare you fly so recklessly over my head?!"

Violent gaze transformed into flames shooting from the Barlog's wicked eyes. Facing the surging, miles-high scorching red flame, his powerful mind transformed into a mind-dominating force, impacting the Ancestral Dragon enveloped by that light.

Instantaneous Telekinesis is one of the Barlog race's most formidable talents. They prefer to use Telekinesis to dominate and assault their opponent's mind, disarm enemies, or pull them into melee.

And this Barlog intended to use his powerful Telekinesis to forcefully halt the Ancestral Dragon's rampaging body, then strike it down from the high sky.

Accompanying the powerful mind-dominating force, a tide of evil aura also swept through the air. Any enemy caught by this Barlog's evil aura,

unless they possessed a chaotic will like other demons, or their will wasn't strong enough, would be struck by the evil power of the aura, and even their consciousness would be stunned.

The flames piercing from the Barlog's evil eyes transformed into two pupils, radiating the soul-snatching demonic light of the infernal realm, shooting towards the Ancestor Red Dragon's head.

Three powerful spell-like abilities, in an instant, targeted the dragons' profound yet not firm minds, clearly demonstrating the Barlog's combat experience.

Meanwhile, the infernal demonic flames on the Barlog's wings had already surged forth, and the Beheading Greatsword in his hand had completely transformed into a shining lightning bolt, carrying the unparalleled immense strength of the Demon Lord, simultaneously slashing down towards that massive ball of light.

But the vast magical power and mind-shaking mental force seemed to vanish instantly, like mud oxen entering the sea, or like surging tides crashing against the vaulted wall of a mountain, and then an infinitely more powerful mental force suddenly rebounded.

The soul-snatching demonic light hissed back, piercing and exploding the Barlog's two fiery evil eyes.

The tide-like evil aura and mental shock also simultaneously rolled back, instantly causing the Barlog's flying, slashing figure to momentarily lose focus.

Then, with a crack, a mental disturbance even more powerful and iron-hard directly caused the Barlog's head to explode.

And the massive deep-red comet, carrying its immense aura, did not stop, crashing through the Barlog Lord's body, as if crushing a weak but daring ant that tried to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, directly shattering the powerful infernal Barlog.

After the Barlog Lord died, its body rapidly expanded in a flash, about to explode instantly. This was the race's Self-Immolation Explosion, possessing extremely powerful might.

But the rapidly expanding infernal flame body was suddenly extinguished, absorbed by the black hole-like vortexes undulating on the Ancestor Red Dragon's aura, like a fleeting lightning bolt.

The Barlog's heart was also shredded and sucked into this black hole-like vortex, leaving only the Demon Lord's final shouts and wails echoing through the heavens.

The scattered body fragments were also instantly vaporized by the overwhelmingly unstoppable aura.

The Barlog's dying wails gradually faded amidst a series of shockwaves, and so the sky was once again dominated by that sole flame.

The only remaining infernal spined chain and Beheading Greatsword fell from the sky, piercing through several demon bodies, then embedding themselves in the ground, revealing faint traces of melted edges from the long-vanished flames.

The demon army on the ground shivered simultaneously. A demon as powerful as a Barlog was merely an ant in the Ancestor Red Dragon's path.

Instantly, the demon army fell silent, becoming noiseless, just like the silent zone created by the Ancestor Red Dragon's flight, gradually enveloping the entire world as he flew across the continent.

The shadow of demons covered the heads of all living beings, and the shadow of the Ancestor Red Dragon covered the entire sky of the demons.

What are the fastest flying races and creatures in the world?

Kalon didn't know, but purely in terms of flight speed, without other means, few creatures should be able to match his current speed.

With two hearts pumping within his body, the Evil Dragons Blood within the Ancestor Red Dragon's body boiled ever more intensely. This meteor-like flight speed was making the Evil Dragons Blood excited.

Traveling at a speed of up to Mach 30 across the sky of the world was the optimal threshold for the Ancestor Red Dragon's full-power flight using only its physical body in its normal state.

A Raptor fighter jet cruises at about Mach 1.8, or 1963 kilometers per hour, taking only twenty-one hours to circumnavigate the entire Earth.

At Kalon's speed, he could fly 37,140 kilometers per hour, covering a thousand miles with a single flap of his wings, taking just over an hour to circumnavigate the Earth.

The vast expanse of Essos, a distance that would take the Magic Dragons of this world months and years to traverse, was merely a matter of a few extra moments under the Ancestor Red Dragon's wings.

At such terrifying speed, the Demon Lesser Lord that was crushed was never even given a second glance by Kalon. That Barlog was no different from the fleeting clouds that swept past the Ancestor Red Dragon.

The most formidable weapon on a giant dragon is not its claws, nor its teeth, but its horns.

Without ascending to Legendary status and mastering rules, even the most powerful demon, under the Ancestor Red Dragon's horns and unparalleled speed, was no different from a fragile piece of thin paper.

This was also one of the advantages that allowed the Ancestor Red Dragon, standing on the threshold of Legendary, to look down upon all living beings.

Kalon's speed was not at its maximum. Dragons that grew to his size had bones as hard as the world's toughest mountain steel.

The scales on a dragon's body were comparable to the world's magical metals, and dragons were born with the ability to control furious winds and magic to embrace and protect their flesh and blood, let alone an Ancestor Red Dragon.

If he were to accelerate himself with the ninth-tier standard spell 'Time Stop', Kalon's speed could at least double. If protected by magical shields and domains, his speed would only depend on the energy supply within his body.

However, in that case, the energy consumed by Kalon's flight would begin to exceed the magical and elemental supplies he absorbed and plundered along the way.

Only by maintaining this standard speed of Mach 30 would the energy replenished by the Ancestor Red Dragon from the outside world exceed the energy consumed by flight, leaving a substantial surplus, allowing the magical furnace within the Ancestor Red Dragon's body to be filled with gurgling magic.

The resistance from air and spatial currents was also easily overcome by the Ancestor Red Dragon's supreme computational power, and the power within them transformed into one of the abundant forces propelling the Ancestor Red Dragon forward.

At this terrifying speed, the Ancestor Red Dragon did not need much time to cross half the continent from the eastern end of Essos.

The powerful, violent, and chaotic aura of the Legendary Demon Lord was already within sight.

Magic flowed within Kalon's body. Countless magical runes interwove into form at the Ancestor Red Dragon's thought. Projections of meteors and stars formed starlight that appeared and circled above the Ancestor Red Dragon's head.

It was like a crown of stars forged from individual stars, shining brilliantly upon the Dragon Emperor's head.

Kalon saw the demon army covering the entire world. Four-armed, four-horned, double-pincered Succubus Giants roared to the sky.

Boar-like, tall, and obese humanoid Soul Judge Demons roared loudly.

The stitched-bear, mantis, wolf, and reptilian humanoid Slaughter Demons shrieked.

Half-serpentine, half-woman-like demons with six arms wielded different sharp blades, shouting and fighting, a tide of demons, like stubborn rocks in the sea, the Dragon Kin.

The Ancestor Red Dragon's fangs were bared, enveloped in boundless might. The unparalleled scorching red flame that spanned heaven and earth at this moment astonished even the Legendary Demon Sakretes.

The mountain-collapsing aura from the distant sky made all the demons in the bloodbath involuntarily turn their heads, as if the shadow of the world's impending destruction enveloped their hearts. A boundless shadow, coming from the crimson comet that tore through the sky.

The irresistible will and arrogant aura made the Legendary Demon Sakretes roar, his body expanding. Boundless purple evil flames and abyssal aura surged, and the shadow of the demon trampled the hills.

But the boundless rolling thunder was still far off in the distance, while the deep-red flames of infinite power had already descended before Sakretes's eyes.

"Time Stop! Planar Gate! Impenetrable Barrier!"

Ancient incantations like old sorcery and the pure, profound Dragon Language sounded simultaneously.

Suddenly, a ring-like portal appeared out of thin air above the head of the demon shadow, which was roaring, growing, and spreading across the sky, instantly expanding.

The next second, rolling wind and thunder along with deep-red aura descended upon the demon shadow. Within that aura, six massive horns struck stars, and countless star projections also pressed down.

The entire world instantly fell silent, as if it were the quiet before ultimate destruction, until the sound of the world's birth-explosion erupted.
