[If given another ten seconds, the Demon King could begin to draw upon a certain amount of its vital energy to prevent its condition from worsening.]
[If given a few more minutes, the Demon King could piece together its scattered flesh and bones, though far from its full strength, it would at least regain some mobility.]
[If given another ten minutes or so, it can squeeze the energy from its temporary, assembled body and recover to one-tenth of its combat strength...]
But Jiang Yi and the other man wouldn't give it even a second.
The combined force of their attacks slammed into its body, which was desperately trying to hold together.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scattering across the sky!
The Demon King has lost all chance to turn the tide.
Some of its blood spilled onto the stone, staining it and making the ordinary bluestone instantly impervious even to a peak-level overlord, and causing it to suddenly grow several times larger, inheriting the fifth-realm abilities of the Barbarian Demon King!
Jiang Yi and his companion continued their attack. Their first strike was delivered with all their might, showing no mercy, but without depleting their life force or luck.
The second strike is the desperate attack, but now that you've brought the Barbarian King back to his original state, meaning they're back in "reality," this second attack should be more restrained and avoid costing them their lives.
[Only four seconds after the Demon King's future was brought back.]
It then lost all ability to resist and was gradually annihilated by Xu Shuanghua using her true essence.
Then the two kings faced their opponents again.
To prepare for this alliance, they had already brought the five kings' battlefields very close in previous battles... pulling the tide of battle from a disadvantaged position only made them more vulnerable!
However, if the plan succeeds, the Demon King will be completely incapacitated, and even if the situation doesn't reverse, it will improve significantly!
Even the Black Dragon Demon King and the Feather Demon King remained rooted to the spot. For the first half-second, they were wondering what had gotten into the two kings, but then they were stunned and dumbfounded by the miserable state of the Barbarian Demon King.
[When the daze ended, the two opponents had just returned.]
The Black Dragon Demon King and the Feather Demon King exchanged glances and decided to join forces.
The former is stronger than the Human King, the latter weaker; if the two were combined, they could perfectly deal with the two True Kings of the Human Race, and even overpower them!
They gradually expanded the battlefield, fighting up to the frigid air belt tens of thousands of miles above, the gale-force wind belt thirty thousand miles above, and the sea of thunder one hundred thousand miles above.
The Demon King was also completely annihilated during this period.
Before completely dissipating, its last will even broke free of its body, transforming into a faint crimson demonic shadow in the air.
It consumes its own "essence," even using it to forcibly gather the scattered body parts and vital energy.
[However, if it had done this the very first second after the Fruit of the Future was brought back, it could have temporarily gathered a small amount of power. Even if it couldn't fight, it could have allowed its remnant soul to escape with its broken body, surviving for a few hundred years.]
However, it is currently in the Thunder Sea, more than 100,000 miles away from its scattered physical body. The only remaining physical body is its head, which is being dissolved by Xu Shuanghua's true essence and has already been mostly destroyed.
Ultimately, its crimson spirit dissipated in despair, uttering only a few cries throughout, causing no disturbance to the battle between the four kings.
"Even demons, can they use the 'remnant soul' trick at the fifth realm?"
Yun Shou rubbed his chin: "But it seems the price is quite high. This Barbarian Demon King could normally live for about seven thousand years, but after this, he'll only be a few hundred years old."
"In the human race's system, although mental power doesn't contribute a large proportion to combat strength, it's still definitely stronger than that of the demon race, right?"
"The uncertainty of the Qi Luck Accumulation: If it is a true Fifth Realm Human King, how far can he go through his soul?"
"Is it possible to possess another's body, or to reside within a magical soul-nourishing ring?"
The Demon King has fallen.
Many demon supreme beings who ate large chunks of its flesh and blood initially found it difficult to digest, and some were even corroded by the true king's flesh and blood, their bodies feeling as if they no longer belonged to them.
However, after the Demon King's soul dissipated, they all felt significantly less pressure, and some even gained an advantage in the battle!
[While the four True Kings were locked in a fierce battle, the Black Dragon Demon King suddenly transmitted a message downwards, instructing the Thorn Demon True King to kill you, while the others would hold off the two Human Kings, giving it ample opportunity!]
The Thorn Demon King looked up and glanced at the Black Dragon Demon King.
Then it turned and left.
It led the strange demon away, turning and leaving in front of all living beings present!
At this moment, many in the Fourth and Fifth Realms were thinking: Could it be that this Demon King was planning to leave quietly, then turn back to assassinate them after going far away?
However, the humans engaged in battle were not distracted by this.
[Long before you revealed your instantaneous return to true form, when the Thorn Demon King and Demon Ling'er were waiting on the outskirts, you already told them about "having a disciple."]
[Yan Zhi, with dignity reflected in the snow, stepped forward to provide corroboration.]
She felt a pang of sadness as she looked at the true demon Ling'er, millions of miles away: She told you the truth, but refused to tell her other half-master.
"They didn't tell us; it was just something Old Ten made up based on what they knew."
[Especially since Mo Ling'er avoided Yan Yingxue's gaze, which made her even more jealous.]
[Despite her sourness, Yan Yingxue's stance remained firm; she was the kind of person who would blame herself for "not protecting you, my student," while simultaneously ruthlessly extinguishing Mo Ling'er's life force.]
[P.S.: If she could beat the current Mo Ling'er.]
"It seems he's determined to go down a dead-end path, ah, I mean Thorn Demon King."
Yun Shou thought to himself, "At a height of thirty meters, Xu Ling'er is probably at the pseudo-king level."
"Therefore, her Holy Body has advanced once again, which should mean that her spiritual power and even her physical body have been strengthened again!"
"Because her Holy Body at the third realm already possessed the ability to transform her physical body, and now that she has reached the fourth realm, it's not impossible for her to further enhance her physical strength!"
"The Thorn Demon King is paying more and more attention to her, and is increasingly being controlled by her!"
"Even if we allow the human race's unparalleled genius to grow up for this reason, this unparalleled genius still owes it twice, and it was also Xu Ling'er's former master."
"There is a connection between the human race's prodigy with an extraordinary talent index and the second faction of the demon race's hope of breaking free from their fate!"
"This is a kind of goodwill gesture from the Thorn Demon King, because it thinks that if the Tenth Prince survives and learns that it did not intervene twice, coupled with the master-disciple relationship between him and Xu Ling'er, he will not exterminate the demon race."
"It chose to leave a way out for the demons."
