"Summon him. I should be able to handle it."
Since the Plague Destroyer was only at the middle stage of the Super Emperor Realm, Darren believed he could easily crush him.
"Don't be careless." The guardian's parting words reverberated in Darren's mind as the entire world changed once again.
The barren ground was stained a dark yellow, and all the plants and grasses had withered. Even the rivers were dark, murky, and lifeless.
Darren frowned and glanced around. Almost immediately, he spotted a colorful mist in the world. He knew that the fog was the Plague Destroyer's tactics.
With narrowed eyes, Darren flew forward and shouted, "Come out and fight me!"
His voice echoed throughout the world. In fact, he was so loud that even the dying creatures forgot their misery and glanced in his direction!
However, there was no movement in the void. The Plague Destroyer did not appear as Darren expected.
Soon, something strange happened to his body.
A dark purple aura began to spread on his skin. Even before he could process what was happening, his skin showed signs of festering under the aura's influence.
"It is really a means of disease!"
A stern expression appeared on Darren's face as he gathered his blade and sword intents to disperse the dark purple aura. But, he failed.
The blade and sword intents penetrated the dark purple aura, but they could not expel it.
"What?"
Darren was astonished. What was this disease, and what could he do?
"The dragon blood aura can expel poison."
At that thought, Darren transformed into his dragon form.
When Darren fought the Snail King in the Bottom Spiritual World, Scott had used the dragon blood aura to expel the poison. Now, after so many years of cultivation in the Virtual Battle Space, Darren's dragon blood aura had reached its peak, which meant that it would be more effective against poisons.
After he morphed into a dragon, Darren mobilized his dragon blood aura and covered his body's surface.
As expected, the dragon blood aura blocked the purple aura, and it couldn't erode his body anymore. Simultaneously, the dragon blood aura attacked the dark purple aura and wiped it out.
"Dragon!"
A cold, dry voice laced with astonishment, pierced Darren's ears.
"Your skill is useless on me. Come out and accept your death!" Darren's cold dragon voice boomed across the world.
A few moments later, a cloud of dark purplish smoke condensed into a human figure in front of Darren.
"You can't kill me. The world will eventually be destroyed."
"Really?"
Whoosh!
As Darren swept forward, the void broke, and countless lightning bolts flashed.
However, the purple mist disappeared, and Darren's aggressive attack missed its target. A moment later, the purple haze appeared behind Darren.
When he whipped around to face his opponent, the Plague Destroyer's lips were moving. He seemed to be chanting something in an ancient language.
A few seconds later, five black altars materialized in the air and surrounded Darren's dragon body.
The ancient murmurs continued. Meanwhile, the altars released auras of five colors, and they flew toward Darren, one after another.
Darren's eyes flew open. He wanted to escape as soon as he saw the auras, but he found himself unable to move!
This Plague Destroyer had the Shackle Law!
"Argh!"
Darren shouted as frustration coursed through him. He used all of his strength to struggle, but he could not break free.
Five kinds of aura in different colors surrounded him, broke the defense of the dragon blood aura, and entered his body.
"Ahh!"
Once the five auras entered Darren's blood, they penetrated his meridians and infiltrated every inch of his flesh. The severe pain coursing through him was more unbearable than soul torture. It was almost the same as how he felt in the Flaming Hell.
After all, the Flaming Hell was so awful that even the gods would feel tortured.
The powers of the plague released from the five altars combined had risen to the level of the law, and Darren could not expel the poison in his body.
Now that he had identified the Plague Destroyer's weakness, Darren did not hesitate to rush over. This time, he attacked the five altars.
Bang!
Darren's dragon tail collided with an altar and smashed it into pieces.
"Argh!"
The Plague Destroyer released a cry of pain.
'Sure enough, the five altars are his real body!'
Realizing this, Darren, of course, spared no effort to attack the altars.
Within moments, three of the five altars were destroyed.
The purple mist that formed the Plague Destroyer was on the verge of collapse. There was nothing he could do to stop Darren's powerful attacks.
"Human, I want you to die!"
The Plague Destroyer knew that he would die, and so, he decided to kill Darren as well.
Bang!
Barely had he finished speaking, his purple fog body and the remaining two altars exploded in unison.
The impact of the explosion did not affect Darren. He felt as though a breeze had blown over him.
But, at this moment, a colorful light fell from the sky and rushed straight to Darren.
Darren did not know what this light was or what it would do to him. However, his intuition told him to avoid being touched by it.
Whoosh!
At that thought, Darren turned and flew in the opposite direction. To his surprise, the colorful light chased him. It almost felt as though the light had locked onto him.
Its speed was unbelievable, and it caught up with Darren in just a minute.
As soon as the light touched Darren's body, his skin, muscles, tissue, and bones started to decay. He quickly commanded the crystal in his brain to absorb the light.
