First-rank Heavenly God …

The golden glow around Hak's body grew stronger and stronger, and the golden dagger in his chest began to shrink slowly as if it was softened. In the end, the dagger completely disappeared into Hak's body, leaving no wound on his chest.

Suddenly, Hark opened his eyes, and two golden rays shot out from his eyes.

In the void in front of Hak, the golden dagger automatically formed and was grasped in his hand. This dagger was the one that had been stabbed in his chest earlier.

With the dagger in hand, Hak gently stroked the blade. As his fingers rubbed against the blade, the sound of metal rubbing against metal could be heard.

After staring at the dagger for a long time, Hak suddenly raised his head, and his eyes fell on the Flaming Phoenix Eagle.

"Die!"

Hak spat out a simple syllable, and almost at the same time, the dagger in his hand slashed out. A golden energy blade fell from the sky with great force, and a spatial crack that looked like a bottomless abyss appeared in the void.

The Flaming Phoenix Eagle did not have time to react before the energy blade pierced through its body, and red blood spurted all over the sky. In the next moment, the demonic beasts below saw a shocking scene.

The Flaming Phoenix Eagle, an eighth-rank True God-level powerhouse, was sliced in half by a single slash without any resistance.

As soon as the Flaming Phoenix Eagle died, the hurricane surrounding Lilliath dissipated.

Hak appeared below Lilliath in a flash and caught her by the waist. When he looked down at Lilliath, he found that there was not a single piece of her body that was unharmed, and she was unconscious.

Hak frowned slightly. After placing Lilliath gently on the ground, he raised his head again. This time, he looked at Baden, who was dressed in white.

Baden had goosebumps all over his body when he looked at him. He knew that the young man in front of him was no longer the little guy that he could knead as he pleased.

His aura alone was enough to make Baden very uneasy. In addition, he had just killed the Flaming Phoenix Eagle and displayed extraordinary combat strength.

"You deserve to die too!"

Huck waved the dagger in his hand once again. The air rumbled as the golden blade aura tore a gap in the void. The power of this attack was clearly stronger than the previous one.

Fear flashed in Baden's eyes, and his original human form instantly turned into a giant demon.

The Giant Demon's skin was covered in black scales, and there was a single blood-red eyeball between its eyebrows. It stood upright, but it had six arms. On his back, there was a pair of purple wings with blood-colored patterns flowing on them. It was a frightening sight. Further down, there was a long black tail covered in scales. There were hundreds of sharp spikes at the end of the tail, each several meters long.

If the Sea King was here, he would definitely recognize that Baden wasn't a monster from this plane, but a monster from the Abyss Plane.

Baden, who had revealed his original form, did not continue fighting. Instead, he flapped his wings and flew into the distance.

"Hmph, do you think you can escape?"

Huck stretched out his hand, and Lilliath's body was instantly enveloped by a golden sphere. She kicked hard with both feet and chased after Baden like a cannonball.

Seeing Huck getting closer and closer, Baden's face suddenly broke into a ferocious smile, and he suddenly twisted his tail. The black tail that was hundreds of meters long actually lengthened in an instant, and it whipped toward Huck.

This sudden attack made it impossible for Huck to avoid it, but he was not afraid at all. He stretched out one hand and firmly caught one of the spikes at the end of Baden's tail, forcibly intercepting the attack.

Baden felt like his tail had hit an iron plate with a rope. It did not even shake the other party at all, and a wave of panic rose in his heart.

His panic quickly turned into reality because he soon felt a huge pulling force coming from his tail. His body immediately left his original trajectory uncontrollably and fell to the ground below.

"Boom!"

The huge body of the giant demon crashed into the ground, and a golden figure quickly descended. A golden blade aura quickly condensed and fell with the breath of death.

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the whole planet began to show signs of cracking under this blow. In the void, countless cracks like a spider's web appeared. The monsters below began to flee in all directions in fear.

The smoke and dust on the ground gradually dissipated, and one could vaguely see that the eyeball and the entire brain of the giant demon had been completely pierced, showing signs of intense burns.

The giant demon's body also strangely shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was being devoured by something.

A blood-colored fine line began to appear between the eyebrows of Huck's golden figure.

Not long after, the giant demon's huge body completely shriveled, and a golden figure sprang out of it and directly entered Huck's body. As for the giant demon's shriveled body, a gust of wind blew past, and it completely turned into powder.

The blood-colored fine line between Huck's eyebrows began to appear, and Huck's face began to become ferocious.

Looking at the torn sky, Huck cast his gaze on the golden cocoon of light not far away. After a moment of confusion, he called out a name, "Lili …"

Only then did he fly toward the golden cocoon of light. When he reached it, he waved his hand, and the cocoon of light gradually dissipated. Lilliath, who was wrapped in it, had almost healed from her injuries. She also regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the golden figure in front of her, Lilliath was stunned at first, but she quickly recognized it. "Huck? How did you become like this? Where's that big bird? "

"Don't ask so much first … My conscious mind can't hold on for long. I must send you out of this dream world as soon as possible." Even speaking became a little difficult for Huck.

"I came in to save you and leave together. If we're leaving, we'll leave together." When Lilliath heard Huck say this, it seemed that he did not intend to leave, and she was even more surprised.

"I can't return to the real world right now. Once my consciousness returns to my body, the Soul-consuming Bloodblade will find me, and I'll become its puppet. Only in the dream world, when my consciousness falls asleep, will it be unable to lock onto my location. The Soul-consuming Bloodblade is our family's inherited Lord God weapon, and it has infinite killing power. Now in the dream world, it's just a projection of its consciousness, and I can't suppress it anymore. If it were its real body, my consciousness would instantly become its puppet, and I wouldn't be able to resist. When that time comes, I'll kill all the creatures I can detect and become the Soul-consuming Bloodblade's medium, providing it with all the nourishment it needs to grow. At the same time, I'll slowly be assimilated by it and become its sword heart. "

"Every batch of direct blood in our family goes through a test to sense the Soul-consuming Bloodblade at the age of sixteen. From the first time I sensed the Soul-consuming Bloodblade, I knew that the Soul-consuming Bloodblade needed me as its medium. If the Days family had known about this back then, they would have chosen to sacrifice me to obtain this killing weapon. They knew that I sensed the Soul-consuming Bloodblade, but they didn't know that I sensed it to the point where it was desperate for me. I hid the truth and told the family elders that the Soul-consuming Bloodblade only sensed me weakly, but the Sword Soul didn't react to me at all. However, the truth was that the Sword Soul had bewitched me more than once, and made me its medium. It would give me endless power. "

"In this dream world, I summoned it of my own accord, and it sensed me. That's why its will projection took over my body. With the existence of this will projection, as long as my consciousness wakes up, no matter where I am, it can lock onto my location and take over my body in an instant. "

"That's why I can't leave this dream world. I'm sorry, Lili, for making you come all this way for nothing, and for almost getting trapped in this world. "

"Huck …" Liliath, who had not shed a tear for three years, teared up again. "We'll find a way to save you. Gu Ding said that there's a solution to every problem in this world. We won't give up on you, so please don't give up on yourself and let yourself be controlled by that thing. "

"I know, I'll wait patiently …" Huck nodded silently, then held Liliath's hand with one hand. With a swing of his sword, a black rift appeared in the void beside him.

"Trust us, we'll find a way to save you …" Lilliath walked slowly into the black rift. Her voice was swallowed up by the Space Rift, but Huck could clearly see her lips moving as she said those words.

Huck smiled and nodded. He watched the Space Rift close up before shaking his head with a bitter smile. "To expel the Soul-consuming Bloodblade's will projection, you'll need at least a lord-level powerhouse to do it … But I don't have much time. Even if it's just a will projection, it's constantly eroding my consciousness. Once my consciousness is completely eroded, the Soul-consuming Bloodblade will lock onto my location and make me its heart. I'm sorry, Lili, I hid this fact so that everyone wouldn't worry … "

"The deeper you go into the dream world, the weaker the Soul-consuming Bloodblade's control over the will projection. The only choice now is to go deep enough so that the Soul-consuming Bloodblade's will projection will be weakened to the point where it can't erode my consciousness. As long as my consciousness remains clear, everyone will be safe. I'm sorry, Lili, Captain, and everyone. I know that the deeper I go into the dream world, the harder it will be to return to the real world. However, returning to the real world is no longer something I should be thinking about … "

After muttering to himself, Huck looked down at the ground under his feet. The golden dagger in his hand reappeared. He gripped the hilt with both hands and stabbed it into the ground.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble …"

The extremely sturdy planet collapsed with a loud bang after this saber strike, turning into countless pieces of rubble that scattered in all directions. The entire dream world began to collapse along with the planet … and Huck's figure disappeared completely …
