This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 408: Chapter 105: Submission

After getting some basic information about the Demon Army from Augura, Udi headed toward the Green Ghost Race’s tribe.

The gathering of the Five Great Ghost Clans was not concealed; or rather, they knew that hiding would be useless.

.....

The verdant forest was filled with towering ancient trees, each hundreds or thousands of meters tall.

A multitude of Green Ghosts scurried about, using their plant manipulation abilities to construct wooden houses.

White Ghosts, Red Ghosts, Frost Ghosts, Purple Demon Ghosts... As far as the eye could see, the territory was teeming with figures of the Five Great Ghost Clans, and most had power at the middle level or above.

The five Ghost Kings stood on the palace built in the crown of the Holy Tree of the Green Ghost Race, overlooking the territory with various expressions.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Since the Black Smoke City Demons were defeated by the Black Dragon, the five Ghost Kings had not separated, remaining gathered above the Holy Tree.

Their clansmen below were also striving to gather the elites of the five tribes under the protection of the Holy Tree.

"Why hasn’t the Black Dragon come yet..." The Red Ghost King was getting a bit agitated.

The disappearance of the Black Dragon left them constantly on edge, fearing a sudden attack from the Black Dragon that could break through the Holy Tree’s defense.

"If it never comes, isn’t that better? This way the demons are driven away, and our Ghost Race still rules this world..." The White Ghost King, towering over a hundred meters, asked with some confusion.

"It’s not that simple." The Purple Demon Ghost King shook his head slightly, saying, "Ever since the coordinates of our world became known to that Demon Lord of Black Smoke City, the fate of the world we depend on for survival was sealed."

"Either extinction or submission."

Hearing the words of the Purple Demon Ghost King, the White Ghost King was somewhat displeased, "You’re too pessimistic. Our Ghost Race’s reproductive ability is so strong, our tribe numbers in the hundreds of billions, and now we’ve acquired a whole new cultivation system from the demons. The Five Great Ghost Clans will only grow stronger."

"Hundreds of billions of Ghost Race?" The Purple Demon Ghost King shook his head with a complex smile, "Do you know how many living beings the Demon Lord of Black Smoke City rules over?"

"I know; we discussed it before. According to the division within the Abyss, Black Smoke City is a medium-sized abyssal city that can accommodate about a billion living creatures," the White Ghost King replied.

This number was obtained by the Purple Demon Ghost King, using psychic superpowers to extract it from the minds of the invading demons.

"That’s right, but you must understand, those one billion are just the residents within the city. For an Abyss Lord, the abyssal city is merely its core territory; the vast and boundless Abyssal Land, radiated by the power of the abyssal cities, is the cradle of countless demons."

"Judging from the strength of the abyssal creatures that descended and their memories, this is undoubtedly confirmed. Over the years, more than ninety percent of the abyssal creatures that have descended came from the wilderness outside Black Smoke City, merely serving as cannon fodder," the Purple Demon Ghost King said with a heavy tone.

The opponent merely sent some cannon fodder, yet it placed immense pressure on the Five Great Ghost Clans.

The Purple Demon Ghost King couldn’t help but suspect that the Lord of Black Smoke City regarded their world as nothing more than a ’fun game’, without ever exerting full force.

The White Ghost King frowned as well.

Its mind was somewhat slow, but it wasn’t stupid.

"Then..." Just as the White Ghost King was about to say more, a grand Light Gate appeared on the horizon.

A massive Black Dragon emerged from it, its brownish-yellow dragon eyes conveying coldness and indifference.

At this moment, the White Ghost King also lost interest in chatting, and the four Ghost Kings turned their gaze toward the Green Ghost King.

Without hesitation, Medici, the Green Ghost King, fully activated the Holy Tree’s defense barrier.

Since the day the demons were defeated, the Holy Tree’s defense barrier had been in a semi-activated state; in this state, no being could enter the area covered by the Holy Tree without permission.

Now, seeing the Black Dragon appear, the originally semi-activated defense barrier was fully powered up.

Green light flickered, and the towering Holy Tree, over ten thousand meters high, shot a thick green beam skyward. In an instant, a light green protection barrier enveloped an area of a thousand miles.

"Let’s go and communicate with that Black Dragon."

Leading the way, the Purple Demon Ghost King, along with the five Ghost Kings, flashed as they flew towards the place where the Black Dragon had descended.

They wanted to attempt negotiations to see if a better outcome could be achieved.

....

Just as Udi descended upon the Green Ghost Race’s territory, he sensed the massive energy emanating from the distant towering tree, forming a huge light green shield.

"Hiding like a turtle?" Udi grinned.

He didn’t look at the agitated ghost race below but instead fixed his gaze on the distant towering tree.

"A giant tree related to the Elf Race’s Ancient Life Tree... Interesting, let’s see what you’re made of."

The last time Udi saw this tree, he had some suspicions and, after gathering information, confirmed that it was indeed related to the Ancient Life Tree. It was likely grown from one of its branches.

"If I devour this giant tree, there might be unique rewards," a thought flashed through Udi’s mind.

The next moment, his dragon mouth opened, and a thick grey-white breath blasted towards the light green protection barrier below.

Not far away, the five Ghost Kings, who had just arrived, happened to witness this scene. Although they were very confident in the Holy Tree’s defense barrier, the terrifying power displayed by the Black Dragon before made them involuntarily tense.

"We four should be ready to activate the Holy Artifact at any moment," the Purple Demon Ghost King, feeling a sense of foreboding, hurriedly reminded the Red Ghost King and the others.
