Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 922 - 69: 1 As Usual Tang Feiji

The world-ending thunder was always Tang Feiji's strongest move. Although Tang Feiji really wanted to showcase a flame attack even more formidable than the Ash Dragon's in front of Qing JiuYu, its arrogance endured—it didn't believe that its opponent could withstand such bolts of lightning.

The Divine Envoy's sacred robes were instantly destroyed by the thunder.

The true appearance of the Order Divine Envoy was revealed. It bore a strong resemblance to Junlin, resembling a demon walking upright, but it lacked Junlin's distinctive wings.

Perhaps this was a small indulgence on the part of its creator, Gu Yin. Even with Eden's master aiding from the sidelines, Gu Yin did not want to design something that could surpass the crowning achievement of his lifetime.

The terrifying Thunder Punishment descended. The combined ninety islands trembled violently under the immense lightning strikes.

The once lush and verdant center of the islands was instantly reduced to scorched earth.

Smoke of burning rose from the body of the Order Divine Envoy. Its gaze carried wariness as it stared up at the dragon in the sky, gritting its teeth.

In Tang Feiji's dragon eyes, the previous pure orange glow no longer shimmered as it once did.

The Ancestral Dragon possessed the true dragon bloodline coveted by the Beast Gods. Such a creature was inherently proud. It was precisely this pride that gave rise to the Dragon Origin Blood Oath. Disdaining to break promises was the ultimate expression of arrogance.

And yet, the Ancestral Dragon was not yet a Beast God— it had not reached the level of the Beast Gods.

There remained myriad realms between a Cataclysm-tier creature and a Divine-tier being.

Nevertheless, the Ancestral Dragon was unquestionably the most powerful type within the Demi-God Tier.

So Tang Feiji had not expected that this Divine Envoy could actually withstand its attack.

[Fine, I'll admit you aren't a waste of space.]

Tang Feiji let out a cold snort.

[You're just a thick-skinned waste of space.]

Qing JiuYu chuckled—Tang Feiji was as infuriating as ever.

The Order Divine Envoy, to its credit, responded quickly. Seeing its domain was ineffective against the Ancestral Dragon, it swiftly unleashed other techniques.

The golden brilliance that pierced through the clouds began to condense. Countless golden beams converged toward Tang Feiji.

At this moment, Tang Feiji made an incredibly audacious move—it plummeted downward from the heavens in an instant!

As its enormous form drew closer, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of oppressive might.

Its gargantuan size cloaked the surroundings in darkness, casting a massive shadow over everything.

Qing JiuYu had no idea what Tang Feiji intended to do, but the thought crept into her mind: if this dumb dragon stayed this huge, finding an "airport" would be awfully difficult.

But there was no time to dwell on it before something shocking unfolded before Qing JiuYu's eyes.

Tang Feiji's maw opened wide as it lunged toward the Order Divine Envoy with a speed like a thunderclap. In the next second, it swallowed the Divine Envoy whole.

This unexpected scene left everyone momentarily dazed.

What—this was edible?

Tang Feiji began to chew.

However, the Order Divine Envoy's size was far from sufficient to even fill a gap between its teeth.

Within the dragon's maw, the Order Divine Envoy was horrified to discover that the draconic flesh seemed to sever all connections between its Soul Crystal and the outside world. It could no longer sense the energies of heaven and earth, as though trapped within a sealed-off domain.

Inside, all elemental energies were entirely under this wicked dragon's control. It couldn't execute even a single technique.

Let alone the golden beams descending from the clouds above.

Those beams, its most destructive weapon, were now utterly unusable.

It felt an immense force dragging it deeper into the black abyss.

The Divine Envoy realized—it was being pulled into that accursed dragon's stomach.

Fear gripped it as it desperately tried to break free.

[I'm not some ordinary orange-tier creature! How dare you devour me! You overestimate yourself! Release me at once!]

Tang Feiji heard this indignant outburst.

Let you out? Now that's rich—award-worthy nonsense of the grandest magnitude.

Laozi has even swallowed the Soul Crystals of Beast Gods. Afraid of you? Please.

The stomachs of every great beast are treacherous and perilous domains.

Take, for example, the Great Tengu. It may not have been able to fatally harm Tang Xian, but its digestive fluids certainly could.

Tang Feiji felt supremely bloated with self-confidence.

Bloated to the level of "as long as it's not Tang Xian, everything in existence is edible."

Swallowing Tang Xian was dangerous—this it had learned firsthand many times before.

But you, a mere Order Divine Envoy? What even are you?

With this thought, Tang Feiji made the motion to swallow.

Gulp.

Its throat suddenly suffered a punishing attack.

The Order Divine Envoy was indeed powerful.

If Tang Feiji had chosen to battle it directly instead of devouring it, Sea God Island might not have survived the confrontation.

Even after being swallowed, stripped of its ability to employ any Soul Crystal-related techniques, the Divine Envoy possessed physical combat capabilities that far surpassed ordinary Cataclysm-tier creatures.

The Order Divine Envoy was, of course, not about to sit idly by inside Tang Feiji—most creatures had tough external hides but fragile internal organs.

[Arrogant fool! You've dragged yourself into your own demise! Foolish dragon from the Dragon Clan, prepare to pay for your blasphemy against divinity… wait, why is this so hard?]

Tang Feiji let out a burp.

Foolish? Tang Feiji didn't think so. Its palate was quite picky—it had no intention of eating something this unpleasant; it merely wanted to end the battle quickly.

It had, of course, considered the possibility that its opponent might wreak havoc once inside its body.

But it was fundamentally different from the "weak inside, strong outside" majority.

After swallowing the Soul Crystal of the Destruction God, Tang Feiji's insides and outsides were both rendered utterly shredded by the violent energies. It had clung to life through sheer, incredible willpower, enduring thousands of near-death experiences from which it repeatedly clawed its way back to vitality.

Such anguish would have obliterated the resolve of any other creature.

Tang Feiji itself had succumbed to despair countless times.

But perhaps the Dragon Clan's deep-seated pride, or something else entirely, drove it to awaken sharply from each collapse.
