Meng Lei descended from the sky and landed on top of the Tempest Colossal Dragon carcass. As he gazed at all the Saint Domains that numbered up to a thousand present, he couldn’t help but lick his lips.
Since hunting Magical Beasts could earn him gold coins... Would killing people also bring him gold coins?
The answer was... A definite yes!
To be honest, Meng Lei had actually known from the very beginning that he could also earn gold coins by killing people, but he had refrained from doing so.
After all, since he could earn gold coins just by hunting Magical Beasts, why should he kill people? He didn’t want to become a cold, ruthless devil that didn’t even so much as bat an eyelid when killing someone, just for the sake of money.
But today, Meng Lei had decided to go on a killing spree!
Killing Angus had earned him 7.3 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, while killing President Luke had earned 9.2 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
With so many Saint Domains present, how many Laws of Nature Origin Crystals would that amount up to?
Besides, a vast majority of them weren’t even human, but... Magical Beasts!
Were Dragons human? Of course not!
“Your Majesty, didn’t you want me to die a terrible death? Why aren’t you attacking yet?”
Meng Lei held his hands behind him, and leisurely took step after step toward the emperor as though he was taking a stroll in the park.
“Guards! Guards!”
Frederick the 32nd was so frightened that he shuddered all over and began to shout at the top of his lungs.
“Protect the emperor!”
“Protect His Majesty!”
Everyone quickly stood in front of the emperor, assuming a fighting stance as if they were protecting the emperor. However, their faces were pale, their legs were shaking, and their eyes were brimming with fear.
Meng Lei had badly frightened all of them.
“Meng Lei, stop that!” President Fred stepped forward at this point. “It’s not too late yet if you turn back now. If you continue to err so stubbornly, the Dragon God Empire will no longer have a place for you!”
“Turn back? Can I still turn back?”
As he looked into Fred’s eyes, which were filled with sadness and heartache, Meng Lei looked up and sighed to the heavens. “President, do you know something? I just lost someone who was dearest to me!”
President Fred was startled.
“To save me, he perished together with the Tree of Life. That’s the only reason why these pieces of garbage could leave the Lost Continent alive!”
Meng Lei cast a glance at the dozens of surviving contestants, frightening them so badly that their insides nearly ruptured from fear.
“But look at what happened in the end? Not only are these heartless and cold-blooded ingrates not even the least bit thankful, but they even want me to take the blame! Don’t you think they deserve to die?”
“Perished together with the Tree of Life?”
At once, something seemed to occur to President Fred, and he exclaimed, “Could it be that the Dragon King supporting you... has died?!”
“That’s right!
Meng Lei nodded heavily as harsh, killing intent filled his eyes. “So, don’t stop me! You can’t stop me, anyway! I’m going to kill all these ingrates today and let them follow Ol’ President to the otherworld!”
“Meng Lei...”
Fred wanted to persuade him further, but Meng Lei had already vanished from where he was. By the time he reappeared, he was already right in front of the emperor and the many other Saint Domains.
“Bunch of ingrates, how do you still have the cheek to live with yourselves in this world? Go to hell, all of you!”
With a flick of his fingers, several ice blades shot forward and instantly engulfed the surviving contestants!
Splurt!
Splurt!
A round of ice blades later, all the surviving contestants had lost their lives. They didn’t even have the time to beg for mercy!
After that, Meng Lei turned to Frederick the 32nd as if he’d only done something so trivial that it wasn’t even worth mentioning.
“Your Majesty, I feel pretty wronged that you should claim that I’ve caused the deaths of 108 contestants,” Meng Lei said with a slight smile, “So that you do not wrong me, I shall do a little something!”
“W-what are you planning to do?”
Frederick the 32nd roared furiously, “I’m the emperor of the empire! The noble and distinguished Dragon Emperor! If you dare attack me, all the old grandmasters on the Dragon Island will never let you off! There will no longer be a place for you in this whole world!”
“Is that so? I’d like very much to try that, then!”
Meng Lei made a grabbing motion in the air, and then, an ice sword glittering with a cold, icy glint appeared in his hand.
“Guards! Guards!”
Frederick the 32nd retreated several steps, filled with alarm and fear. The group of Saint Domain experts standing in front of him and blocking him from Meng Lei also retreated along with him.
With every step Meng Lei advanced, they took a step back. With another step forward, they took yet another step back!
A single person was actually pressuring a thousand Saint Domains into pathetic retreat! It was practically the most comical sight ever!
“You bold, audacious outlaw! Don’t you hurt His Majesty!”
At that moment, a few loud and sonorous dragon roars suddenly traveled over from the sky a great distance away. Everyone raised their heads and looked over to see several Colossal Dragons flapping their wings and flying toward them.
Golden scales, golden claws, golden wings, and golden horns... There were a few Golden Colossal Dragons!
In terms of body size alone, those few Golden Colossal Dragons were a tad inferior to Barbarossa’s 100-meters-long dragon form, but the surging, torrential dragon might around them was immeasurably stronger than Barbarossa’s!
Evidently, all of them were Golden Colossal Dragon People with extremely pure bloodlines. Although still not as pure as Barbarossa’s, their actual strength far surpassed his.
“The elders!”
“It’s the ten elders!”
“Your Majesty, the ten elders have come!”
The many Saint Domains were overjoyed.
“That’s great! With the ten elders here, I have no need to worry anymore!”
Frederick the 32nd was delighted. Then, a savage look gleamed in his eyes, and he declared, “You evil creature, I want you to die a terrible death today!”
“Those are the ten elders of the senior statesmen’s assembly!”
Fred heaved a sigh and tried to kindly persuade Meng Lei again.
“Meng Lei, don’t make any more mistakes. The ten elders of the senior statesmen’s assembly are all pinnacle-level Saint Domain great experts, among whom the Grand Elder is even a limits-level Saint Domain and an existence that’s a step away from becoming a half-deity. You won’t be their match at all! Listen to me, and stop while it’s still not too late!”
“A limits-level Saint Domain?” Meng Lei licked his lips and asked, “The kind of limits-level expert that has reached 99.999% comprehension of a type of laws of nature and is just a final step away from attaining 100% comprehension?”
“Yes!” Fred said in a low voice, “Every limits-level Saint Domain is incomparably exalted. Even the half-deity grandmasters have to show them some courtesy! You—”
“Awesome! The stronger, the better!”
Meng Lei licked his lips. The stronger they were, the more valuable they would be. Only then would there be a kick in killing them!
Crash!
Crash!
In the twinkling of an eye, the ten Golden Colossal Dragons had reached right above him. The largest was nearing 100-meters-long, and even the smallest was as long as 90 meters.
Each of them gave off vast, mighty dragon might that made everyone present feel immense pressure.
/>
“Where’s the knave, Your Majesty?”
The longest Golden Colossal Dragon shouted the question furiously, his voice as though a thunderclap.
“What good timing, elders!” Frederick the 32nd pointed at Meng Lei and shouted furiously, “Kill that wicked fiend at once!”
“Calm down, Your Majesty. When we capture that wicked fiend, we’ll hand him over to Your Majesty to deal with!”
The longest Golden Colossal Dragon roared, “Bold and impudent knave, how dare you come and act so wildly in the empire’s palaces! You deserve to die a thousand times for your act of treason!”
“Haha, I deserve to die a thousand times for my act of treason?”
Meng Lei laughed into the sky as the Hammer of Destruction appeared in his hand. Then, he appeared out of the blue right in front of one of the Golden Colossal Dragons, raised the hammer, and swung it toward the Golden Colossal Dragon!
“How audacious!”
The Golden Colossal Dragon glowered at him and raised its sharp, savage-looking claws and swiped at him.
Boom!
The Hammer of Destruction collided with the Golden Colossal Dragon’s claws. The claws straight-up broke and became all mashed up with a hole smashed right into it!
“Ahhh!”
Following a shrill scream, large droplets of dragon blood splattered through the air and dyed the ground red.
“Take another strike of my hammer!”
Meng Lei quietly appeared above the Golden Colossal Dragon’s head with a slight sway of his body and gave it another heavy hammer strike.
Crack!
It was as though a great hammer had smashed into a watermelon! Or a sledgehammer knocking an egg!
With a crisp crash, the Golden Colossal Dragon’s head unsurprisingly broke apart!
Howl!
Amid a shrill and miserable dragon roar, the dragon’s nearly 100-meters-long body plummeted through the sky and smashed a huge dragon-shaped hole into the square. Just like that, a pinnacle-level Saint Domain had perished!
“Old Ninth!”
“Ninth Elder!”
At the sight of that, the nine remaining Golden Colossal Dragons roared furiously. Their voices were like rolling thunder, their wrath like violent winds and torrential waves, and their killing intent like the howls of the mountains and the roars of the seas!
“You bastard!”
“You evil creature!”
“You knave!”
“Return the Ninth Elder’s life!”
“Don’t be anxious. Everyone gets their own share!”
With a laugh, Meng Lei appeared right in front of the second Golden Colossal Dragon like a specter and smashed his hammer down again.
Howl!
Then, it was the third Golden Colossal Dragon, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth...
All of them received one strike each, fair and square!
Everyone got a share each, not a single one receiving more or less than that!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
For a moment there, it began to rain pork dumplings, no, dragon dumplings!
Nine out of the ten mighty, awe-inspiring Golden Colossal Dragons roaring furiously into the sky just now had fallen onto the ground.
Then, they became still and motionless and turned into dead dragons.
“How did that happen!?”
Frederick the 32nd had totally broken down.
Chapter 200: Slaughtering Them All, Top In History
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The pinnacle of Saint Domain realm represented the apex. It was easy to advance to the Saint Domain realm, but to attain the Saint Domain realm’s pinnacle was an impossibly difficult task.
There were thousands of ordinary Saint Domains in the whole of the Dragon God Empire, so many that one could barely keep count, but there were only a handful of pinnacle-level ones. On top of that, that number was an accumulated result of many years.
Yet now, nine of them had died in such a short time!
Who would be able to accept that?
Nobody at all!
“How did that happen?”
Emperor Frederick the 32nd had broken down completely. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why Meng Lei, who was just 16 years old, was that strong.
He killed pinnacle-level Saint Domains as if he were just slaughtering livestock.
Just how did he manage to do that?
“You’re the only one left now!”
With the Hammer of Destruction hoisted over his shoulder, Meng Lei looked at the longest Golden Colossal Dragon and asked, “What’s your preferred manner of death?”
“You... You’ve actually killed nine of the elders!”
The Grand Elder was shaking as flames of wrath and hatred burst forth from his eyes. Amid his fury was, however, a hint of alarm and fear.
Although the other nine elders weren’t as strong as him, they were nevertheless still pinnacle-level Saint Domains.
Instantly killing pinnacle-level Saint Domains? He absolutely wouldn’t be able to do that at all!
And yet... Meng Lei had managed to!
What did this show?
It showed that Meng Lei was even more powerful than him and even stronger than a limits-level Saint Domain—a half-deity!
Only a half-deity would be stronger than a limits-level Saint Domain.
The moment that occurred to him, the Grand Elder couldn’t help but bellow in a deep voice, “Sir, by acting in such a way that shows no regard for authority, don’t you fear the Dragon Island’s half-deity’s punishment!?”
“That’s my business. I don’t need your unnecessary concern about that.” Then, Meng Lei suddenly laughed and added, “But if you want to worry about something like that, I can give you the opportunity.”
“What are you intending to do?” the Grand Elder bellowed in a deep voice.
“I’ve always had a dream, and that is to roam the heavens while riding a Colossal Dragon. In the past, I was too weak and could only dream about it, but that’s no longer the case now.”
Meng Lei gave him a leisurely smile and said, “Although you aren’t a pure-blooded Golden Colossal Dragon, you’re not that far off, either. As long as you form a master-servant contract with me and become my mount, I can spare your life!”
“Form a master-servant contract with you? And become your mount?”
The Grand Elder was so furious that he was shaking all over. “Sir, what you’re doing is trampling on a Colossal Dragon’s pride! The prideful Dragons will never let you off!”
“So, you’re not agreeable to it? Die, then!”
With an icy snort, Meng Lei came right up to the Grand Elder with just a step and swung the Hammer of Destruction down!
“No!”
The Grand Elder’s eyes were widened to the point of splitting, yet he nevertheless couldn’t dodge the Hammer of Destruction smashing down heavily toward him.
Crack!
Under the hammer, the limits-level Saint Domain great expert was no different from the previous nine pinnacle-level Golden Colossal Dragons—with just a strike, the hammer blasted his head apart, too!
Boom!
The enormous Dragon carcass plummeted onto the ground, causing an intense tremor to go through the ground before everything returned to peace and quiet.
In spite of that, no-one was feeling any peace and quiet in their hearts. In fact... All of them had already lost it!
“Dead? He’s died just like that?”
“Even the limits-level Saint Domain Grand Elder is dead?”
“Nine pinnacle-level Saint Domains and one limits-level Saint Domain have died just like that?”
“A devil! He’s the devil himself!”
“O great Dragon God, hurry and save your pious descendants...”
“And now, it’s all of your turns!”
With the Hammer of Destruction hoisted over his shoulder, Men
g Lei gazed at Frederick the 32nd and the many other Saint Domains, nobles, and officials.
“Guards! Guards!”
Frederick the 32nd was as pale as a sheet, so frightened that he was shivering all over. Which part of him even looked like a sovereign now?
“Now... No-one can save all of you anymore!”
Meng Lei had a calm and tranquil look on his visage as he asked, “The higher management officials of Dragon God Empire are all here now, right?”
Frederick the 32nd’s voice trembled as he asked, “M-Meng Lei, what exactly are you planning? Be clear about it!”
Meng Lei gave him a calm smile as he replied, “Wiping all of you out at once!”
“Wiping all of us out at once?”
Everyone’s countenances changed greatly!
“Divine Technique: Absolute Zero!”
With a flick of his fingers, a golden, chilly air current burst forth and spread forward.
“Run!”
Everyone’s insides were close to rupturing from fear as they fled madly. However, the golden, chilly air current was even quicker—in the blink of an eye, it had spread outward and enveloped the entire square!
Creeeak!
Creeeak!
Creeeak!
All that it stood in the chilly air current’s path became sealed in ice.
From Frederick the 32nd to every high-ranking official, all of them were frozen to the spot. Then, they turned into golden ice sculptures.
Everyone maintained a pose in the midst of escape while looks of alarm and fear also remained on their faces.
In this instant, everything had become frozen in time!
“Flee? How laughable!”
Meng Lei walked into the crowd of ice sculptures. A sculpture fell onto the ground with a light tap, and then, with a loud crack, it shattered into ice chips!
“Meng Lei! Stop that! Hurry and stop that! They are all higher management officials of the empire! You can’t kill them all!”
President Fred, the Fighting Dragon Academy president, and the other four who hadn’t been sealed in ice, stared hard at Meng Lei.
“I know what I’m doing, Presidents.”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly and pushed the second ice sculpture down. Then, he went on to the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...
By the time Meng Lei had walked from one end of the square to the other end, 99% of the ice sculptures had broken into bits and pieces. Only about a dozen vivid-looking ice sculptures were left standing—and all of them were pure-blooded humans!
