Chapter 861 The Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins Is Injured, Yin Celestial Son Rushes to Support

Demon Lord: “????”

The Thunder Hammer suddenly appeared at the back of the Demon Lord’s head, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Right after, the Demon Lord thought of the power of the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins’ magical treasures.

Let’s put it this way, the hardest part of the Demon Lord’s body is his skull.

The Demon Lord can be said to be an invincible iron-head kid across the cosmos, above and below the heavens.

Previously, when the Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins and the Yin Celestial Son joined forces, they attempted to split his skull open.

Unfortunately, it was simply impossible.

After that, they targeted the tentacles of the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord had actually encountered the power of many of the Heavenly Emperor’s magical treasures directly.

In the Demon Lord’s eyes, even at the peak of his powers, the force of these magical treasures was just that.

Moreover, now that the Heavenly Emperor is exhausted, the power of these treasures is considerably weakened.

In such a scenario, it is tough for these magical treasures to harm the Demon Lord’s tentacles, let alone his head!

Thinking of this, the Demon Lord was no longer afraid.

Not only was he not afraid, he even stretched out his head, putting on a rogue appearance.

“Smash it!”

“Come on, smash it!”

“Just smash it, damn it!”

The Demon Lord stretched his head, looking as if he was begging to be hit on the head.

At this moment, the Demon Lord didn’t even use his tentacles to block the Thunder Hammer.

His head is harder than his tentacles; if the tentacles could block the Thunder Hammer, then it wouldn’t matter if the hammer hit his head.

If the tentacles couldn’t stop the Thunder Hammer, then the hammer would still hit his head.

So there was no need to block it.

Therefore, the Demon Lord directly stretched his neck out to let it be smashed, he was that confident in his head.

If with this strike, the Heavenly Emperor still can’t harm the Demon Lord in the slightest, then he truly has no way.

The Demon Lord did not dodge or defend, making the Heavenly Emperor feel a bit insecure.

He believed there was a strong chance that his most powerful Thunder Hammer might not harm the Demon Lord.

However, at this point, with the Thunder Hammer already at the Demon Lord’s back, there was no reason to withdraw.

Thinking so, the Heavenly Emperor gritted his teeth and launched the Thunder Hammer, aiming it at the Demon Lord’s skull.

“Boom!”

With a massive explosion, the Thunder Hammer smashed into the back of the Demon Lord’s head, stirring intense energy fluctuations.

The scattered energy around even opened up numerous black holes in the surrounding void.

Only after quite some time did the dispersed energy begin to dissipate.

Truly, the Demon Lord’s skull was tough; after the Thunder Hammer struck it, not a single piece of bone was shattered, not even a speck fell off.

The Heavenly Emperor thought that with a handle added to the Demon Lord’s skull, it would be the world’s number one hammer!

Fortunately, apart from physical attacks, the Thunder Hammer carried some thunder and lightning attacks as well.

The power of thunder and lightning isn’t any weaker than a physical attack.

Instantly, purple lightning spread to the Demon Lord’s head through the Thunder Hammer’s contact.

“Crack!”

“Crackle, crackle.”

Continuous sounds similar to exploding firecrackers echoed from within the Demon Lord’s skull, indications of the explosion of flames from his eye sockets brought about by the lightning.

Simultaneously, it was visibly apparent that the purple lightning seemed to be affecting the Demon Lord’s skull.

The tentacles under the Demon Lord’s skull, which had been quickly moving, visibly slowed to a crawl.

This paralysis resulted from the purple lightning shocking the Demon Lord’s skull, making the tentacles numb.

The Demon Lord seemed to have realized this too, as his skull then appeared with streams of black liquid.

This liquid was the pitch-black fluid akin to amniotic fluid from the Chaos Space.

The pitch-black liquid flowed through the Demon Lord’s skull like blood vessels.

As the dark fluid moved, it absorbed the lightning from the Demon Lord’s skull.

In a mere two or three seconds, the feeling of paralysis from his skull had dissipated.

All the lightning was absorbed by the pitch-black fluid, seemingly able to decompose and dissolve anything.

With the numbness gone, the Demon Lord’s movements returned to normal.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor immediately controlled the Thunder Hammer, attempting to return it to the Magic Treasure River.

However, the Demon Lord’s head is not a sandbag; how could the Heavenly Emperor expect to hit and run without paying any price?

“You think you can just smash me and run; is my head a sandbag to you?” The demon lord’s ghostfire flickered in his eye sockets, hinting at a trace of anger.

He had underestimated the Thunder Hammer before, and now the hammer’s electric therapy was unsatisfactory.

Just as the Thunder Hammer tried to escape back to the Magic Treasure River, the Demon Lord’s tentacles swiftly wrapped around the Thunder Hammer.

The Demon Lord’s tentacles tightly constricted the Thunder Hammer, much like a python strangling its prey, attempting to crush the hammer.

The Thunder Hammer was engulfed by the Demon Lord’s tentacles, its form obscured.

Only occasional flashes of purple lightning indicated the Thunder Hammer’s last futile resistance.

“Creak.”

“Creak, creak.”

Peculiar sounds persisted from within the Demon Lord’s tentacles.

The sound was far more eerie than the sound of the Treasure Saber cracking, enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor turned pale, bloodless.

His very form seemed unsteady, on the verge of collapse.

“Splat!”

“Splat! Splat!”

The Heavenly Emperor spat several mouthfuls of blood, staggering in place desperately trying to remain standing.

Seeing the state of the Heavenly Emperor, the Demon Lord showed a very smug expression.

The Demon Lord could discern that the Heavenly Emperor was gravely injured.

“Here’s your broken hammer back,” the Demon Lord shouted to the Heavenly Emperor, calmly unwrapping his tentacles.

“Rustle.”

“Rustle, rustle.”

As the Demon Lord released his tentacles, a wave of iron sands flew up.

Where the Thunder Hammer once was amidst the Demon Lord’s tentacles, only a heap of iron sand remained.

The Demon Lord truly is formidable, able to crush the Thunder Hammer into mere iron sand.

At this time, it wasn’t all bad news for the Heavenly Emperor.

There was good news.

With this delay, the Yin Celestial Son was already close, moments from arriving.

“Cough cough!”

The Heavenly Emperor coughed violently twice, shouting at the Demon Lord, “Demon Lord, don’t be so smug!”

“With Yin Celestial Son here, the two of us together can surely hold you off.”

“As for Heaven and Earth, Lin Yuan has his arrangements, your plan will never succeed.”

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

No sooner had the Heavenly Emperor spoken than the Yin Celestial Son arrived.

Since the Heavenly Emperor was injured more severely than Yin Celestial Son, as soon as the latter arrived, he immediately positioned himself in front of the Heavenly Emperor.

Then, holding up his severed hand, he asked the Demon Lord, “Demon Lord, do you know how my hand broke?”
