Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

"Birds of a feather! I shouldn't have spared your lives back in the magic lamp... So... die!"

Azazel, the spirit of the Iberian lamp, had a strange blue, misty flame as his lower body. Suddenly, his body swelled up, and the blue flames burst into a dark blue-black blaze, burning the two people in front of him.

"Iberis Azazel? It really is you... How did you end up like this?"

A glint appeared in the Dragon God's eyes. He took a step forward, and an invisible force field shield enveloped him and Leido. He finally made his move. Although somewhat surprised, he was well aware of Azazel's power and had to be cautious.

The two magical energies appeared quite ordinary, their forms being nothing more than ordinary flames and light shields. However, the energy fluctuations, which almost distorted space, caused Ledo, who was bound in mid-air, to gradually have difficulty breathing and approach suffocation.

Under the protection of the Dragon God, the circulation of spiritual energy and magical energy within Leido's body slowly recovered. His physical body could no longer breathe, and he could only rely on the interaction of spiritual energy and magical energy to avoid suffocating to death.

"Old man... you're strong! But this is the territory of the god Barret, and I... am the guardian spirit of the sacred land! Those who defile the Tree of Life shall be killed without mercy!"

Azazel was quite surprised that the elderly man before him could resist his magical energy. He raised his right hand, and a blue-black light swirled around him and reached its peak, turning into two streams of light that shot straight at the Dragon God and Leido. Without hesitation, he launched another attack.

"Old man? You don't remember... me?"

This time, it was the Dragon God's turn to be surprised. He never expected that the once-powerful Demon God Warrior would not even be able to keep his powerful demon body, leaving only his soul. Moreover, it seemed that even his memories had been erased.

The Dragon God's previous disdainful attitude had completely changed when Azazel appeared. Although Azazel's form had changed drastically, the Dragon God still recognized the demon general immediately through the elemental mark.

Dark red light slowly emanated from the hunched body of the Dragon God. He walked forward, and with each step he took, a red magical energy shone on his back, making him look like a demon god gradually awakening from a volcanic inferno.

Two beams of blue-black light slammed into the Dragon God's body. There was no extra energy light splashing out at the scene of the clash. The concentration of magical energy was extremely high, with almost no waste.

But the deafening, violent bombardment made Leido's mind tremble again and again. Even the golden figure in the furnace of life was shaken quite a bit. A bloody taste rose in his throat, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Even while protected by the Dragon God's force field, Ledo was still severely injured by the terrifying penetrating force of an attack from a top-tier expert. The difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great to be compared.

"Azazel! You really don't recognize me?" The Dragon God seemed hesitant. He didn't unleash any powerful attack magic to directly fight Azazel, but instead focused on defending against and neutralizing the powerful attacks from the lamp spirit.

"I am the guardian spirit under the God Barrett. No matter who you are, if you dare to encroach upon the Root of Life and defile the Ancient Tree of Life, you shall die!"

Azazel did not stop. While reprimanding the crowd, he clasped his hands together and then opened them, crossing his two thumbs as if forming a hand seal. He muttered something under his breath, and in the blink of an eye, a small magic circle appeared in the air.

"you wanna die!"

The Dragon God, who had become more cautious earlier, suddenly flew into a rage, no longer caring about anything else. Under Azazel's mysterious magic circle, a golden object suddenly flew out from the Dragon God's abdomen. It was the Miracle Vine that the Dragon God had stored in his spatial artifact.

The "root of life" that Azazel spoke of appears to be this miraculous withered vine. He was ordered by the god Barrett to guard the ancient tree of life, and naturally possessed the mark of order, enabling him to control the miraculous withered vine and successfully reclaim it.

The Dragon God was unable to sense the Miracle Vine and could not stop Azazel. He could only watch helplessly as Azazel forcibly took the treasure. Due to historical reasons, the Dragon God was not very willing to have a major conflict with this legendary demon general.

But at this moment, Azazel had taken away the treasure that the Dragon God needed most. The Dragon God could no longer care about so much. A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from his life force, forming a violent energy storm that swept up Azazel in the sky.

"How dare you..." Azazel, floating in the air, sensed the powerful demonic might of the dragon god, and his body swayed violently. His flame-like lower body seemed to be extinguished by the dragon god's gale.

"Even if you are the leader of the eight fallen demon generals, if you hinder the great cause of the dragon race's revival, then you cannot be allowed to live!" The Dragon God did not know what had happened to this demon general, how he had become a watchdog of the enemy forces, but the important treasure he had obtained was taken away, and the Dragon God was furious.

Moreover, after easily blocking Azazel's two attacks, the Dragon God clearly sensed that this demon general's strength had declined even more severely than his own, probably less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and his attitude hardened accordingly.

The energy that the Dragon God unleashed this time far surpassed the level of a mage. Although it only lasted for a brief moment, it still put pressure on Azazel. Azazel frowned, put away the Miracle Vine, and stood ready for battle.

At the same time, the boundless ancient tree of life in the sky trembled a few times, shaking off many golden leaves from its crown. From the depths of the entire secret realm, a powerful energy of order emanated, coming from the roots of the ancient tree.

"Energy beyond the Saintly Archmage level... So what? Those who defile the Holy Land shall die!"

Azazel sensed the dragon god's demonic power, an energy fluctuation comparable to his own, which nearly triggered the Tree of Life's sanction of order. He realized that the intruder was extraordinary.

"For the sake of our past friendship, Azazel... give me the Miracle Vine, and we will leave. Otherwise... what harm is there in destroying the Tree of Life and the city of Yggdrasil!"

The Dragon God's eyes had turned dark red, and despite his hunched figure, he constantly emitted a terrifying and unsettling energy fluctuation.

As he said, if he disregarded everything, unsealed his suppressed realm, and fully unleashed his cultivation, it would definitely disrupt the energy order of the ancient tree secret realm, causing it to collapse completely and affecting the stability of the capital, which would undoubtedly be a great disaster.

“Ignorant aliens… How could such a lowly creature dare to destroy the sacred tree? You will all be executed!” Upon hearing the dragon god’s threat, Azazel’s face revealed a disdainful sneer.

Having retrieved the Miracle Vine, Azazel no longer held back. His eyes suddenly erupted with a blue-black light, like a blue sun, the brilliant light gradually reaching its peak, dazzling and blinding.

His smoky, fiery body expanded again, eventually reaching a height of 100 meters. The flames on his head curved into the head of a goat, and his lower body formed a complete limb. Twelve enormous wings grew from his back.

Azazel transformed into a twelve-winged archangel, wielding a dark blue three-edged halberd. Flames danced fiercely beneath his feet, as if he were treading on countless fiery serpents, and his entire body's energy surged infinitely.

Strangely, Azazel's magical power level had long surpassed that of a Dharma King, yet the Ancient Tree Order showed no reaction. Perhaps this is the advantage of the Secret Realm Guardian: being able to ignore the Order's sanctions and unleash all of its magical power to kill the intruder.

Facing the mighty Azazel, the Dragon God showed no fear. In order to break the seal of the Cerberus ruins, he had to obtain the Miracle Vine, otherwise his awakening would be meaningless. He had decided to defy the heavens and fight this demon general to the death.

"It's been a long time since I've had a real fight... You brat, you should... go!" The Dragon God glanced at Leido behind him, his expression complex. With a casual wave of his hand, he tossed the immobilized Leido away...
