Chapter 658 I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse.
All of this happened in such a short time.
To the many onlookers in Holy Ring City, it was almost unbelievable, because the Soul Silent King's dominant combat power greatly raised their understanding of the upper limit of strength at the peak of the Void Refinement realm.
Previously, some demonic cultivators thought that once their strength reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage, even if they were not as strong as the Ten Kings Palace Masters, they wouldn't be much weaker.
I can't beat one person.
So what if we team up with two, three... or even a dozen people to form a top-tier killing squad? Do you think you can crush us like tofu, one by one?
The answer that's being revealed now is... it really can!!!
The simple difference in quantity can no longer make up for the difference in quality. What seems illogical is actually traceable.
This extraordinary combat power stems from the Dao-integrating qualities that the Ten Kings possessed beforehand. Soul Silence King is an existence that has condensed the "Flower of Qi" and the "Flower of God".
at the same time.
Besides the laws of space, he also mastered one or two kinds of laws at the Dao Integration level, which, according to Wang Yu's cognitive system, is about 3% of the law comprehension.
It possesses the qualities of a "high-multiplier destructive converter," namely—supernatural powers, secret techniques, wondrous arts, and spiritual treasures!
These people were more than twice as old as Wang Yu.
They are generally over a thousand years older than him, and it's already quite fast that he could catch up with the advantage that comes from the accumulation of time. In addition, the railings have been in place for less than a hundred years.
It's perfectly normal that Wang Yu is not as good as them in terms of understanding the Dao principles. He will catch up or even surpass them in another 60 years, which is already a very fast pace.
They witnessed the King of Impermanence fleeing back in a sorry state.
Wang Yu's heart stirred, and his gaze was burning as he stared at the corpse of the Ghost Cry Master. Although his primordial spirit had been snatched out and strangled by the Soul-Destroying Scissors, his physical body was still alive.
Judging from the previous crimson blade energy, this person most likely cultivates both the Blood Path and the Ghost Path. Therefore, the cave world within his body, nurtured to its limit, would be a very suitable resource for him.
If it were to be devoured, it would save countless development times for the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven, potentially expanding it to a diameter of two thousand kilometers in one go.
This range has already reached the limit of a normal Void Refining stage cave heaven, but Wang Yu felt that this was not his upper limit, after all, his body's load-bearing capacity was terrifyingly strong.
Since no one was paying attention to him, Wang Yu was tempted by greed. After his figure and aura disappeared quickly, he arrived at the edge of the formation in another corner.
The divine sense spread rapidly from the ground, silently causing a crack to appear in the battlefield, allowing the demon to secretly take away the corpse of the Ghost Cry Master, intending to make a fortune.
Soul King's attention was entirely focused on Charming Bone King, and his spare time was also devoted to the breakthrough of Old Demon Centipede Flame. He simply didn't have time to pay attention to this trivial matter.
Or rather, even if they discover it, they won't take action to stop it.
He didn't want to give his enemy a chance. If the gap in his attack allowed the other side to recover, it would be very detrimental to his strategic direction in initiating this conflict.
Just as Wang Yu was feeling secretly pleased with himself for picking up the corpse, more cunning old men probed over with their divine senses, probably also eager to find this corpse with its own ultimate cave.
'A bunch of bastards, so they're all just looking to pick up dead bodies, huh?'
Wang Yu cursed inwardly.
But there was nothing he could do. He wasn't the only clever one. If others wanted it too, then they would fight. The divine power derived from his Taiyin Primordial Spirit was no ordinary divine consciousness.
He's not going to spit out the fat meat that's already in his mouth; it's all his!
A silent battle between the divine senses began.
…………
At the same time, the situation on the main battlefield was also changing!
The King of Impermanence is on the run.
The Soul King is in pursuit.
The Demon King was chasing after them, and she "used" her strongest trump card, which was the White Bone Demon Child!
Suddenly, a delicate shout rang out from the unknown sky.
The pregnant belly, bulging with alluring bones, unfolded layer by layer like a flower bud, the outer layer resembling a human figure, but the inside resembling bloody white bones and jagged petals.
A tiny skeleton, no more than half a meter tall, flew out from it.
The skeleton's eyes shone with jet-black flames, its head had two horns, and its back had bone wings. It appeared and disappeared in an instant, then reappeared behind the Soul King in less than a thousandth of a breath.
The white bone demonic light formed rings, and the power it emitted seemed to slow down time, causing Soul Silence King to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wuchang successfully escaped into the protective array of Holy Ring City.
Although the leaders of the nine major lineages of the Demon Realm do not interfere with their battles outside, once they enter Holy Ring City, they will guarantee the safety of any demon cultivator under the watchful eyes of everyone.
However, after using the White Bone Demon Child as a trump card, the situation not only failed to reverse but actually worsened.
All that could be heard was the Soul King letting out a wicked "hehehe" laugh.
A burst of evil light suddenly erupted from his body, and a Netherworld talisman appeared above his head, instantly shattering the slowing aura of the White Bone Demon God.
His right hand gripped the "astonished" Demon Child with lightning speed.
The pitch-black demonic flames clung to it, burning the monster—a creature that was half-living being, half-mystical being, and half-spiritual treasure—causing it to scream and howl. Only then did it slowly speak.
"Charming Bone, you have repeatedly displayed your slutty and shameless body in public. This little bastard has already exposed himself. Does he really think that I, the prince, have no way to restrain myself?"
"This Netherworld Talisman can communicate with demons and gods above, and with ghosts and spirits below. How dare a mere skeleton evil god jump up and down before it? Hmph! — Refine it for me!!"
The Soul King, who had been prepared, believed that his current advantageous situation was due to his careful planning, unaware that this information was leaked to him by the Three Kings.
It was precisely to ensure his reasonable victory that there would be an opportunity to lure out the deeply hidden alien spy, which is why the Demon King saw the Demon God Child being rapidly refined.
His face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "This is impossible!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than her body began to crack, and her once alluring and seductive mature body began to fall away as quickly as cooked meat.
Her beautiful bone structure, as white as jade, was revealed. Strictly speaking, this was her true appearance; her physical body was merely a shell, only her aura had dropped quite severely.
Even her beautiful bone structure was dull and lifeless, as if she had suffered a backlash.
King Hunji pressed his advantage, attacking Meigu while taunting, "No matter how profound your [White Bone World-Observing and Calamity-Avoiding Sacred Technique] is, it cannot completely eliminate this backlash. This is the consequence of provoking me!"
Meigu gritted her teeth, displaying a pathetic and furious display of incompetence, focusing only on fleeing without any thought of retaliating.
The Soul King's overwhelming power left the onlookers speechless.
"Incredible, Soul King is going to win."
"This is not just a win, it's an overwhelming victory! A resounding and devastating win!"
"But don't you find it strange?"
"Does fellow Daoist have a different opinion?"
"I wouldn't call it insightful, but it just feels strange and incongruous. Why has the Blood Demon King been gone for so long? And this Dao-Merging Tribulation has been brewing for almost a quarter of an hour and hasn't landed yet. Is that reasonable?"
"And what about the three battle servants of the Charming Bone King at the peak of the Void Refinement stage? Their initial reluctance to make a move could be explained by their confidence in victory, but now that their master has been beaten to the bone, they're still standing there?"
As various discordant points were pointed out, everyone was shocked to realize that, despite it being a battle of encirclement and killing, their attention was focused solely on the main target, while they had neglected their allies.
Perhaps he overheard the discussions among the crowd.
Soul King frowned slightly, focusing some of his attention on the three people. His body suddenly stiffened, only to be horrified to discover that the three people had become empty shells at some point.
The original body has long since disappeared.
"—Buzz!"
A strange buzzing sound rang out, and a beam of light shot out from the ground, quickly locking onto Hunji. This beam of light was as white as bone, yet it was also covered with blood streaks and demonic patterns.
Like a spine, it trapped him in place, unable to move. The fleeing Demon King suddenly turned around, and the half-refined White Bone Demon Child curled up, turning into a bone ball the size of a human head.
In an instant, it burst forth from the Soul Demon Flame, circled around in a semi-circular trajectory, and then rushed back at lightning speed, viciously piercing through the chest of the Soul Silence King.
When he reappeared, he was holding a withered heart in his hand and gnawing on it raw; it was the heart of the Soul King!
The situation reversed instantly.
Three of the Soul Refining Peak Battle Servants of the Soul King appeared around the spine, forming a triangle to maintain the operation of the formation. This was the [White Bone Demon God Pillar Sacrifice Formation]!
They used evil rituals to attract the attention of the true demon god.
By using the power of a higher power to forcibly lock onto the target, once the interest of the demon god's true form is aroused, the target will be forcibly taken away by the demon god. In a sense, this is a kind of sacrificial array.
Soul King's face was grim, but the doubts that had arisen in his heart were completely dispelled. As expected of the eighth-ranked Lord of the Ten Palaces, he wanted to plot against his opponent, and his opponent wanted to plot against him as well.
'So... how do we break this sacrificial array?'
The loss of the Demon Heart is far from fatal.
But it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the King of Impermanence, otherwise, given his terrifying mastery of spells, he will truly be at a disadvantage.
Just as he was trying to communicate with the demon's heart and cause it to self-destruct.
He was shocked to find that the barrier of the sacrificial array was quite comprehensive, making it impossible to communicate with the power that belonged to him. Even when they were close at hand, the array made it impossible!
The situation has changed.
This forced the Impermanent King, who had just slipped into the Holy Ring City, to come out and rush towards the White Bone Demon God Child at an extremely fast speed. He had to react, otherwise it would be too abnormal.
The head of the Demon King regenerated flesh and blood.
All of this is still an act. He was completely crushed by Soul King. Even if the other party had a plan, it doesn't make sense. He acted too foolishly, and the other party might take it seriously.
But the secret spies from other races will see through the deception.
Therefore, she specially prepared this "pillar sacrifice formation," which not only met her fundamental goal of luring out the White Bone Demon God's avatar, but also served to turn the tables and demonstrate the resilience and strength of the Ten Kings.
Let the situation evolve in a predictable direction.
only……
Why does the other party look so pathetic, unable to even mount a simple counterattack?
'No way, you fucking move already!'
The Demon King was anxious.
I really didn't expect that Soul King was so weak that she couldn't even break a mere pillar sacrifice array. If she were to use the real "Secret Technique of Sacrificial Dance", wouldn't she die on the spot?
'—Useless!'
At the same time.
At a corner of the Holy Ring City Wall, the trio of the Mighty True Demon King Yue Zhenxiao, the Evil Beast King, and the Black Spring King, who were concealing their figures with special treasures, witnessed this scene and cursed inwardly.
"This shitty fourth place, praising him so highly is a bit too fake. Meigu probably didn't expect this guy to be so fragile."
"It's all your fault, Kuroquan. If you had shown more strength, it would have been much more reasonable to push this incompetent good-for-nothing to fifth or sixth place."
The Beast King seemed to still be holding a grudge about their last argument.
This direct exclusion of the Black Spring King greatly displeased the latter.
"No way, you're blaming this on me? Are you out of your mind?!"
The Beast King's breath hitched, and two streams of scorching heat shot out from his nostrils, turning them red-hot in an instant.
Yue Zhenxiao quickly took out an ice bead and pressed it onto the Evil Beast King. As the extreme cold power surged out from it, the latter returned to normal.
True physical cooling.
Yue Zhenxiao showed no intention of mediating, but instead frowned and said, "Evil Beast King, you're about to lose control. If this continues, you'll easily be controlled by your inner demons, and in this state, you won't be able to break through to the Dao Integration stage."
That's absolutely true.
The latter's anger, which had surged again, receded like the tide. He ignored the Black Spring King, knowing in his heart that both of them were actually helping him to wake up.
If you can't truly realize this.
He was merely a piece of flesh with formidable combat power, utterly unworthy of the status of the Ten Kings, and even less capable than those ordinary peak Void Refinement cultivators.
"Take good care of yourself, we'll need your fighting power later."
"good."
After silently agreeing, the trio fell silent.
The situation on the field changed further.
All that could be heard was the Soul King letting out a long howl, and once again using the "Disintegration Technique" he had used before, transforming into thousands of soul demons in an attempt to break free of the pillar sacrifice array.
Sensing the hidden power within those soul demons, the Demon King felt relieved and immediately manipulated his three war servants to loosen their control over the magic array.
In this way...
Soul King was then able to break free of the formation's constraints.
The next moment.
really!
A gray spike pierced through the spine that stretched from heaven to earth, and countless soul demons poured out from it, gathering in the sky at another location. Soul King was panting heavily, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
But we won't lose face.
He still said arrogantly, "I underestimated you, but... Seductive! You still lost."
The Demon King: "..."
She genuinely didn't want to talk to this kind of mentally challenged person anymore; she was easily influenced and it affected her own mental agility.
However, in the eyes of the Soul King, silence was the reason that the other party was powerless to refute it, because the formation was broken and the three war servants suffered backlash and were fleeing towards the Charming Bone King.
He looked like he wanted to protect her as she tried to escape.
but……
An invisible figure suddenly appeared behind Soul King, without any ripples or aura, simply reaching out and grabbing Soul King's head.
Amidst the latter's incomprehensible and terrified expression, both body and spirit were drained by the terrifying devouring force. The greatly depleted soul had no power to resist and was instantly refined.
'They're here!'
'They're here!'
'It's the Devouring God Demon Clan! As expected, the second-ranked [Gluttonous King] is problematic. Attack!!'
The target is hooked.
The Demon King and Yue Zhenxiao instantly reached a tacit understanding: although Hun Ji had perished, he had still demonstrated the value of a useless person.
I'll make up for the missed update tomorrow; I should be able to finish writing this part of the story.
