Faced with his question, Dan Feng's face showed a puzzled expression as he murmured to himself, "Human God?"
Seeing Dan Feng's reaction, the Dragon God Orsted thought to himself that perhaps Dan Feng truly didn't know about the 'Human God,' so he said no more and prepared to continue walking forward.
However, in that very instant, a flash of insight crossed Dan Feng's mind. He suddenly remembered that one time the 'Human God' had tried to peek into his future.
That had been at the banquet in the Asura Kingdom—the first time he had heard anything about the 'Human God' from the system.
"I think I've heard of it." Dan Feng blurted out without thinking. He had always held to the principle of answering when asked, so he replied to the Dragon God Orsted without hesitation.
Yet the moment the words left Dan Feng's mouth, an intense sense of crisis surged over him.
His body reacted instinctively, swiftly bringing Cloud-Piercer across his front in defense.
A deafening "clang" rang out, as if something extremely hard had smashed violently against Cloud-Piercer—the sound was ear-splitting.
However, this tremendous impact did not shake Dan Feng, who was in his Dragon Transformation state.
He stood firm in place, Cloud-Piercer unmoved in his grasp.
Dan Feng focused his gaze and realized that the one who had attacked him was none other than the man from just moments ago.
A surge of anger immediately rose in his heart—he despised sneak attacks above all else.
Without another word, he swung his long spear. The spear tip thrust straight toward the man, forcibly driving him back several steps.
Roxy, standing behind Dan Feng, hadn't even had time to process the attack that had just been blocked.
"Is that so? Are you an apostle of the Human God?" Orsted, who had been forced back, said slowly. His stance showed he was ready to strike again at any moment.
"What apostle of the Human God? Is that your reason for attacking me?" Dan Feng was clearly angry, though he still spoke in a very calm tone.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, both he and Roxy might have been in danger.
"If you're not an apostle of the Human God, why do you know the term Human God [HITOGAMI]?" The Dragon God Orsted's figure lunged toward Dan Feng once more—clearly unwilling to listen to any more words from this person he had already branded as a Human God apostle.
Of course, this time Dan Feng was prepared. He directly met the Dragon God Orsted's hand-chop attack with Cloud-Piercer.
Both moved at lightning speed, seemingly surpassing the limits of human vision—their figures were nearly impossible to track with the naked eye.
Yet the constant clanging rang out like two iron swords clashing, echoing through the air.
Dan Feng and his opponent were locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand.
In this tense moment, Dan Feng swiftly cast Cloud Chant, using the power of water to instantly create distance between them.
Seeing this, the Dragon God intended to pursue—but the moment he took a step, he suddenly felt something like ropes binding his legs, causing him to pause.
"Earth Bind!" Roxy shouted the name in terror. Without hesitation, she unleashed the spell—her only thought was to help Dan Feng. Even in the face of her fear, she did not retreat.
However, the Dragon God merely shook himself lightly, and the Earth Bind shattered instantly.
Seeing this, Dan Feng withdrew Cloud-Piercer and summoned the Heavy Abyss Pearl instead.
"Roxy, get to a safe place quickly!" Dan Feng said while acting. Without holding anything back, he poured the immense Imaginary energy and mana from within his body into the Heavy Abyss Pearl in an unending stream.
In an instant, the Heavy Abyss Pearl erupted with a chilling wave of mana and overwhelming pressure, as if the entire space trembled under this power.
The Dragon God Orsted sensed this powerful mana fluctuation and felt his heart tighten.
He detected a suppression originating from bloodline, though the feeling wasn't particularly strong.
"Delve-hidden moon, world-cleansing dragon!"
At this moment, Dan Feng only wanted to strike back with this move—to let his opponent know he was not someone to be trifled with.
For once, the Dragon God Orsted showed an unusual expression. The face that had always remained expressionless now displayed something akin to shock.
In that split second, the surrounding space seemed to twist under an enormous force. The originally calm environment suddenly turned into raging torrents.
Countless waves appeared out of thin air in midair, forming a massive cyan vortex.
As the waters continued to converge, the center of the vortex gradually condensed into a gigantic water cyan dragon.
This water cyan dragon was entirely cyan in color, its scales glinting with cold light. Unlike before, this time the water cyan dragon looked far more lifelike—as if it were no longer merely made of water, but had gained true life.
Under the enhancement of Imaginary energy and mana, its body grew increasingly powerful. The pressure it exuded far surpassed the battle aura radiating from the Dragon God Orsted.
"Hmph." Dan Feng let out a cold snort. Then, with his fingers joined together, he directed the massive water cyan dragon straight toward the Dragon God Orsted at full speed.
The Dragon God Orsted's eyes narrowed as he watched the cyan dragon hurtling toward him. In front of him appeared a window engraved with exquisite and ornate dragon patterns.
The moment the water cyan dragon made contact with the window, it burst forth with blinding white light.
The window attempted to absorb the water cyan dragon. Vast amounts of mana leaked outward in all directions, drawing the attention of surrounding monsters. The energy spreading from Dragon Roar Mountain caused large boulders to tumble down from its slopes.
However, the falling rocks were instantly shattered by the aftershock of the water cyan dragon.
Orsted watched with a grave expression as his front dragon gate—the one attempting to absorb the water cyan dragon—began to crack bit by bit.
"Who exactly are you?" Orsted's low voice rang out.
The moment his words fell, the front dragon gate could no longer withstand the water cyan dragon's power and shattered abruptly.
Then it charged straight toward Orsted.
Dan Feng slowly floated in midair, standing atop a white lotus flower, coldly watching Orsted not far away.
The aftershock of this earth-shattering strike spread outward like raging waves.
That terrifying force swept through everything in its path like a flood breaking through a dam—unstoppable.
Under the impact of this aftershock, Dragon Roar Mountain tore apart as easily as if it were made of paper.
As the mountain body fractured, massive boulders and dust cascaded down. The entire mountain range teetered on the verge of collapse.
Yet this was not the most terrifying part.
The aftershock infused with Imaginary energy did not stop after tearing through Dragon Roar Mountain. It continued surging toward the adjacent mountain range at astonishing speed.
Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, the neighboring mountain could not withstand the impact either and slowly toppled sideways.
In an instant, the ground quaked and mountains shook; smoke and dust billowed everywhere.
Amid this chaotic scene, Dan Feng swiftly deployed Imaginary energy to envelop Roxy tightly, ensuring she suffered not the slightest harm.
On the other side, Orsted's situation was far less fortunate.
He gripped a slightly curved long sword in his hand. The blade gleamed with a heart-chilling cold light.
The mana emanating from this long sword was extraordinarily dense, sending shivers down the spine.
Orsted poured all his strength into holding back the water cyan dragon's assault.
His feet rooted themselves to the ground like they had grown roots, but the earth beneath him had already been shattered by the overwhelming energy, forming a massive crater.
Even so, Orsted showed no intention of retreating.
He clenched his teeth and unleashed the secret techniques of the Water God Style he had mastered, attempting to withstand the cyan dragon's attack.
Finally, a deafening dragon roar echoed out. The place where Orsted stood was instantly engulfed in smoke and dust.
