My carefree life in space

Chapter 287 Dragon Scales Dissipate

The demon god looked at the Brahma bowl, his eyes flashing with complex light, a mixture of resentment from being trapped for millennia and arrogance at finally achieving his goal. With a gentle flick of his wrist, an invisible, powerful suction force instantly erupted, and the Brahma bowl, which had fallen to the ground, landed steadily in his hand.

"It is this thing that has trapped me for millions of years." The demon god's voice was deep and filled with hatred, echoing in the demonic space. He gripped the Brahma Bowl tightly, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the years on this magical artifact.

But soon, a disdainful smile reappeared on his face. "So what? I still made it out, and this so-called divine artifact is nothing but trash." His words were full of contempt.

Then, he let out a long howl that was deafening and full of disdain and pleasure.

Lin Shushu, Mo Ze, and Xiao Jingping stared at the Brahma Bowl that had been taken from them by the Demon God, their hearts filled with despair and rage. A flicker of resentment flashed in Lin Shushu's eyes, "No, we can't let him succeed!" she roared inwardly.

Mo Ze stood beside her, his spiritual power nearly depleted, yet he showed no sign of backing down. "We won't give up, there must be another way," he said, his voice low but firm.

Xiao Jingping nodded slightly, "Yes, justice will always prevail over evil. Even if it means death, we will not back down."

Although Venerable Lingyun and the others were already badly injured from the demon god's attacks, they did not give up. They struggled to their feet, supporting each other, their eyes revealing their anger towards the demon god and their determination to protect the continent.

Seeing the unyielding faces of the crowd, the demon god's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish!" he roared, and with a wave of his hand, demonic energy, like tangible swords, gleamed with a chilling light, and slashed fiercely at the crowd.

Seeing this, everyone rose up to resist. Venerable Lingyun, enduring his injuries, wielded his spiritual energy sword, attempting to deflect the surging demonic energy blades. The blades clashed with the demonic energy, producing a piercing sound, and spiritual energy scattered in all directions.

Other righteous masters also displayed their unique abilities, some casting shields to defend against attacks, and others using magical artifacts to try to dispel the demonic energy.

However, the demon god was at the height of its power, its strength beyond imagination. Even if the group hadn't been injured, they would have had no chance against such a demon god, especially since they were all already severely weakened and their spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.

The demonic swords easily broke through everyone's defenses, slicing through the crowd as easily as cutting vegetables and melons.

Under the onslaught of demonic energy, Venerable Lingyun and his companions were forced to retreat, their bodies covered in wounds. Although their eyes were filled with resentment, they were powerless against such a powerful demon god.

"Could it be... that we are really going to fail?" a righteous expert cried out in despair, his voice filled with helplessness.

Just when everyone was almost in dire straits, Lin Shushu, enduring her pain, tightly gripped the scales of Cangwu in her hand, silently praying. The scales seemed to sense her feelings, emitting a soft light that enveloped everyone.

Although the light was faint, it miraculously blocked some of the demonic energy's attack, giving them a chance to catch their breath.

The demon looked over curiously, his gaze falling on the dragon scale that Lin Shushu was clutching tightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. In just a moment, he recognized it as a dragon scale, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.

"Hmph, that's interesting. It actually has dragon scales." The demon god's voice was scornful, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "If the Dragon Emperor himself were here, perhaps he could fight me. But now it's just a scale. What use can it be? It can be used as a plaything."

After saying that, he stretched out a huge palm and reached out to grab Lin Shushu. The palm was surrounded by dense black demonic energy, like a demonic claw from hell, carrying an aura of destruction.

Lin Shushu felt the powerful pressure and her heart tightened, but she did not back down. Instead, she gripped the dragon scale even tighter. The dragon scale trembled slightly in her hand, and the light it emitted became even brighter, as if responding to her determination.

Seeing the rapidly approaching giant hand, Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping stood in front of Lin Shushu without hesitation, circulating their spiritual power to try and block the terrifying aura of the demon god.

However, the demon god's power was too great. His palm easily broke through Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping's defenses and reached out to grab Lin Shushu.

Just as the palm was about to touch Lin Shushu, the dragon scales suddenly burst out with a strong light, which transformed into a barrier that blocked the demon god's palm.

The demon god paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Interesting, but that doesn't change anything." He snorted coldly, increasing his power once more. The black demonic energy surged wildly, attempting to break through the light of the dragon scales.

Protected by the light, Lin Shushu and the others felt the immense power of the dragon scales, but they knew it was only temporary. They had to find a way to defeat the demon god as soon as possible; otherwise, once the dragon scales' power was exhausted, their lives would be in danger.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die; we have to find a way to fight back," Lin Shushu said, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

However, before Lin Shushu could think of a solution, the dragon scales gradually dimmed under the demon god's continuous attacks. The dragon scales, which originally emitted a soft yet powerful light, were like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished, under the impact of the demon god's surging demonic energy.

Lin Shushu watched helplessly as the light of the dragon scales grew weaker and weaker, her heart filled with despair.

Finally, the dragon scales transformed into countless points of light, slowly dissipating and disappearing into the air. "No!" Lin Shushu cried out, her voice filled with grief and anger.

These are dragon scales from Cangwu, a precious gift from a respected elder, and something she held in her heart like a faith. Now, they have been destroyed by a demon god.

Unable to suppress her grief, Lin Shushu's eyes glistened with tears. Her hands clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly. At that moment, the anger within her burned like a raging fire, overwhelming her reason.

She immediately activated the power of the Star Mirror, and the starlight on the mirror surface shone brightly, shooting a dazzling beam of starlight toward the demon god.

The demon god saw the starlight approaching and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He slightly raised his hand and easily blocked the starlight.

"With this little power, you think you can hurt me?" The demon god's voice was full of sarcasm.

However, Lin Shushu did not back down despite the power of the demon god. She gritted her teeth and activated the Star Mirror again, continuously unleashing various magical attacks.

Mo Ze and Xiao Jingping were greatly alarmed by Lin Shushu's reckless actions. They knew that with Lin Shushu's current state and power, she was incapable of causing any real harm to the Demon God, and would only put herself in an even more dangerous situation.

"Shushu, calm down! You won't be able to hold on like this!" Mo Ze shouted, trying to stop her frenzied attack.
