“Hahahaha…hahahaha! God help this king, God help this king!!”
The Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord ran wildly while laughing loudly, his laughter was more wanton and wild than any other time before. The Netherworld Udumbara Flower blooms once every twenty-four years, and it is also the moment he longs for most every twenty-four years. And this time, he is several times more excited than any other time before! !
Because swallowing the Netherworld Udumbara Flower can not only repair his damaged soul source, but also greatly restore his soul power, vitality, and profound power in a short period of time, and even the recovery of injuries will be accelerated several times! In the past, these had no effect on him, but at this moment, it will completely distort his current and future destiny! !
These days, he stayed above the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, staring at it every moment, waiting for the moment when it would fully bloom. Now it finally fully bloomed, like a gift from heaven, blooming at the moment when he needed it most.
By swallowing this fully blossomed Netherworld Udumbara Flower, it would only take twenty breaths for his dark profound strength to recover by more than half! In the fierce battle with Yun Che, his situation was only slightly inferior to Yun Che, and this level of recovery would surely allow him to completely crush Yun Che in return!
“You must catch up with him!! If he devours the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, you will surely die!” Jasmine’s voice was extremely heavy and filled with resentment… With her strength, it would only take a moment to destroy the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord anywhere else!
But here, let alone releasing her power, she couldn’t even leave Yun Che’s body!
Yun Che used all his profound energy, almost gnashing his teeth to pieces, and exerted his Illusion Lightning Extreme to the utmost. In terms of profound energy consumption, he and Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign were roughly the same, but in terms of injuries, Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was more seriously injured than him. In addition, his speed was originally stronger than Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, so at his maximum speed, he and Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign quickly closed in, and in the blink of an eye, they had been forcibly closed in to a distance of only forty or fifty feet.
However, since he was already injured both inside and outside, and now his profound strength was released to the limit and all concentrated on speed, his injuries did not ease, but instead rapidly worsened... But in this situation, he could no longer care about these things.
Should be able to catch up!!
In a matter of seconds, they had already rushed to the depths of the Moon-Slaying Devil Cave. Yun Che was less than thirty feet away from the Moon-Slaying Devil Lord. The cries and laughs from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower became clearer in his ears.
Jasmine suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Wait! Stop chasing me!!"
At this moment, a dreamy purple light suddenly appeared in front of Yun Che’s eyes.
The Netherworld Udumbara Flower, which was slightly closed before, finally bloomed. The nine fully opened petals were evenly arranged in a ring, releasing a deep and extremely deep purple light. In the darkness, the purple light covered everything. The receptacle and stamens could not be seen, nor the swaying branches. The nine petals seemed to be floating independently in the dark world, releasing a mysterious and dangerous enchanting purple light.
And when it fell into Yun Che's pupils... he seemed to suddenly see the eyes of nine demons! !
The Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord had already rushed to the front of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, laughing even more wildly. He noticed Yun Che approaching quickly from behind, but did not turn around. A hint of cold sneer slanted across the corner of his bloodstained mouth.
bite!
The world before Yun Che’s eyes suddenly changed from darkness dotted with purple light to pale white dotted with purple light. Even his ears suddenly became quiet… The sound of wind and thunder caused by running at full speed disappeared without a trace.
The only sound left was the ghostly cry of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower.
The whole world seemed to suddenly become blank in an instant.
In the pale world, the purple light was rapidly expanding, gradually spreading to the entire world. The sound of the ghost's cry was getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and even more pleasant to the ears... From the initial eerie and chilling sound, it gradually became pleasant like the sound of nature...
The purple world and pleasant sounds wove together an intoxicating dreamland. In the dream, familiar scenes and faces appeared one after another. Cang Yue, Feng Xue'er, Xiao Lingxi, Xia Qingyue, Chu Yuechan, Little Demon Queen... They appeared one after another, each with the warmest and most beautiful smile on their face, and their pupils, more beautiful than the other, looked at him tenderly, and then slowly went away in the purple world...
Getting farther and farther away... Getting more and more blurred...
“Yun Che! Retreat immediately!!”
A loud shout suddenly rang out in the purple world like thunder.
Ping! !
The purple dream world instantly fell apart, all illusions disappeared, and the huge pain pierced Yun Che's heart and soul like thousands of steel needles, causing him to hold his head and scream in pain.
He felt as if countless dark hands were tearing at his soul, trying to tear all his memories, will, beliefs... out of his body alive!
He had experienced soul attacks and collisions many times, but never as horrible and cruel as this moment. The feeling of the soul being torn apart was colder and clearer than a blade cutting into the body... He had never known, nor had he ever imagined, that soul attacks could be so horrible! !
Under the pain and struggle of his soul, he almost completely lost control of his strength and body. He fell to his knees on the ground, his whole body shaking wildly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat in an instant.
At this moment, he was still a full twenty feet away from the Netherworld Udumbara Flower! !
“Back off quickly!!”
Jasmine’s thunder-like voice rang out again, allowing Yun Che’s soul to regain more clarity in his violent struggle. He roared fiercely, and used all his will to gather a force, and tried his best to leap backwards in an extremely twisted posture.
BANG!!
Yun Che's head hit the ground hard, and he rolled over for several weeks before finally coming to a stop. With this leap, he rolled back a distance of twenty to thirty feet. The feeling of his soul being torn apart still existed, but it had weakened to the point where he could easily handle it.
Yun Che supported himself on the ground with both hands, breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and a rare fear gathered in his pupils.
That is... the ability of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower to rob the soul! ?
It's so scary...why is it so scary!!
It was so scary even though it was so far away! If it was close enough to pick it... it was unimaginable!
How could such a terrifying thing exist in this world!
“Do you believe me now?” Jasmine said with a heavy face, “Once the Netherworld Udumbara Flower fully blooms, its soul-sucking power will be far beyond your imagination! It is absolutely beyond the reach of someone of your level!!”
Yun Che did not respond to Jasmine’s words, but raised his head abruptly… In front of him, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord was already standing in front of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, his gray face full of smug, mocking grins. He greedily looked at the nine dark purple petals, intoxicated by the Netherworld aura it released, and did not forget to laugh at the embarrassed Yun Che wantonly: “Stupid and lowly human! How dare you dream of snatching the Netherworld Udumbara Flower from this king… Hahahahahaha…”
The wild laughter suddenly stopped, and the face and voice of the Moon Slaughter Demon Lord were filled with deep anger and hatred: "It was you... who caused me to forcibly transform and severely damage my life source! Even if your lowly life dies ten thousand times, it will not be enough to offset my hatred! When I swallow this Netherworld Udumbara Flower... I will make you suffer all the tortures of my demon clan! You will neither be able to live nor die, and you will regret coming to this world for the rest of your life!!"
He turned his head, his gaze completely focused on the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that was so close to him. His previous hostility suddenly turned into excitement and intoxication. He stretched out two claws, which were covered with black light, and slowly reached out to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower... His movements were so gentle that it seemed as if he was touching the most precious treasure in his life.
“Hiss——” Yun Che’s teeth were about to break. The terrifying Netherworld Udumbara Flower made him shiver all over as soon as he thought about it. The distance of just a few dozen feet became a chasm that he could not cross at all!
No! He must be stopped at all costs...
I came here and risked my life to stay here just for the Netherworld Udumbara Flower! If I were to be swallowed by the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, not only would I not be able to obtain this Netherworld Udumbara Flower, which is most likely the only one in the world, but my own life, as well as the lives of Jasmine and Hong'er, would also be left here forever!
Stop it at all costs!
Anyway!!
The Moon-Slaughtering Demon Lord had already placed his hands on the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, and then slowly closed them... His movements were slow and trembling, and his expression was even fanatical and pious! As an ancient demon, he had never had any faith, and nothing was qualified to be his faith. But this Dream Udumbara Flower was like a holy object to him. Without it, he would have died long ago! And he also relied on it to completely restore his soul source and see the light of day again!
Therefore, every time he picked the flowers, he was extremely careful, fearing to damage even the slightest bit of its stems. He never completely absorbed the scent here, but always kept a certain degree of richness, also in order to maintain the existence of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower.
The black light enveloped the nine petals of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. In the next breath, he would be able to pick all nine petals perfectly...but at this moment, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly attacked from behind.
Yun Che leaped up and summoned the Heaven Smiting Sword and Profound Gang once again. Almost in an instant, he raised his entire body’s profound energy to the extreme. The pale golden flames of the Golden Crow ignited on the sword and the Profound Gang, and then smashed forward with a bang.
“Phoenix Heavenly Wolf Slash!!”
Puff!!
Yun Che's arms were once again covered in blood, and the huge recoil force caused him to fall backwards. Meanwhile, two flaming Heavenly Wolf shadows smashed towards the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord with violent space ripples like waves!
The Moon Slaughter Devil Lord had never expected that Yun Che, whose profound energy was greatly depleted, could still blast out such astonishing power. The speed of the two Heavenly Wolf shadows was extremely fast. In addition, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord’s concentration was basically on the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. By the time it noticed, the two Heavenly Wolf shadows were only three feet away from him.
BANG!!!
Two flaming shadows of the Heavenly Wolf fiercely bombarded the back of the Moon Slaughter Demon Lord. The Moon Slaughter Demon Lord screamed, and the black scales on his back suddenly exploded, black blood spurted out, revealing a spine that was not broken but severely deformed. The entire demon body flew out like a cannonball, and then slammed heavily into the stone wall a hundred feet away, and collapsed to the ground, not standing up for a long time.
“Success… Success!!” Yun Che stood up from the ground, and his vision suddenly went dark, nearly falling down. The Heavenly Wolf Slash just now was beyond the limit of his current strength under the influence of his faith, not to mention the addition of the power of the Profound Handle, which consumed so much that his body was temporarily weakened, and he almost couldn’t even hold the Heaven Smiting Sword steadily.
But before he could catch his breath, his pupils suddenly contracted.
His attack just now cleverly avoided the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. The Moon Slaughter Demon Lord did not want it to be damaged, and Yun Che did not want it to be damaged either. The Moon Slaughter Demon Lord was blasted away, and the branches of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower were completely unharmed. However, the nine purple rays that were originally floating there...
There are only four left!
At the end of the Moon Slaughter Demon Cave, five points of dark purple light shone from the fallen body of the Moon Slaughter Demon Lord! !
“Oops!” Jasmine said in a deep voice: “When he was blasted away, he also grabbed five petals!!”
Before Jasmine finished her words, Yun Che had already rushed over like an arrow shot from a bow… He swerved sideways around the Netherworld Udumbara Flower and headed straight for the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign like a madman.
“Asshole!!” The Moon Slaughter Devil Lord struggled to get up, his back aching as if a transparent hole had been blasted through it. But as he was blown away, he tightly grasped the five Netherworld petals in his claws… If Yun Che hadn’t blasted him away just now, all nine petals would have fallen into his hands.
Looking at Yun Che rushing towards him, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord’s furious body almost exploded: “You damn bastard!! Your struggle will only increase the pain you are about to endure!!!”
With an angry roar, the Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord grabbed five Netherworld petals and quickly threw them into his mouth.
Yun Che turned pale with horror and roared, “Shut up!!”
Gulp!!
It was a simple swallowing action. Even if Yun Che was ten times faster, he would not be able to stop it in time. He could only watch helplessly as the five Netherworld petals fell into the wide-open devil's mouth and were swallowed by the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord.
Yun Che: “!!!”
