Chapter 516 - 232: Being in the Ghostly Abyss Feels Just Like Home_2

Even a Demon King cannot rely solely on pure physical strength to reach this level.

Even those Demon Gods with powers that reach the heavens cannot achieve this.

The bodies of the Demon Race are strong, but there are limits.

Even those demons skilled in physical combat essentially need the assistance of spiritual power to strengthen themselves.

"Let’s join forces."

Yellow Springs Ascendant glanced at the Red Tiger Demon King, a hoarse telepathic message, gently uttering three words.

"I came to advance to Divinity Transformation; you are late-stage Nascent Soul, presumably for the same. Let’s join forces to slay this person; I want his Nascent Soul and storage bag, you can have the spirit stones, Celestial Star City nine parts to you, one part to me, how about that?"

"Though I am a Demon Cultivator, I am not a madman. You’ve seen his situation, mentally somewhat unstable. Without joining forces, we might both die here; have your subordinates join the fray."

The eyes of the Red Tiger Demon King flashed with intense fury and killing intent, looking at the equally distraught Canglang Demon King.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing the other’s response, a slight curve appeared at the corner of Yellow Springs Ascendant’s mouth hidden in the shadow of his black robe, and his grip on the Evil Soul Bone Pearl slightly relaxed.

There was one thing he didn’t say.

The opponent might be a hidden Demonic Dao Divinity Transformation True Venerable, thus not well-known in the continent, which is why they didn’t recognize him.

Given the opponent’s unstable mental state, it’s not impossible for him to do what he just did.

If he truly is a Divinity Transformation, then just run!

Run immediately!

Run without looking back!

When it comes to fleeing, Yellow Springs Ascendant is very confident.

With so many demons assisting in blocking, if he wants to run, not even Divinity Transformation True Venerable can stop him!

If nothing else, he has plenty of Ten Thousand Miles Shifting Talismans!

The reason he could cultivate to this day is because he was prudent!

"Seems you’ve reached a consensus."

Lu Wenwu flexed his body, glancing with interest at the temporarily allied group.

He was quite interested in these people from the cultivation world.

Normally, an A Tier should not be able to withstand a single move from him.

But Cyan Wood Demon King endured two moves before dying, and the Red Tiger Demon King only suffered slight injuries, which greatly surprised Lu Wenwu and piqued his interest.

This time, the subquest of advancing from A Tier to S Tier finally increased in intensity!

The purity is very high!

"Then..."

Lu Wenwu drew out his voice, suddenly flickering, his whole body abruptly appearing in front of the Canglang Demon King.

Before the other could react, the Military Killing Fist had already blasted out.

The instant fist technique was just that domineering.

Lu Wenwu’s face showed a sinister smile, his right arm completely transformed into a blood-red color.

The overwhelming Slaughter Qi had already condensed into the unique True Meaning of Martial Arts for this punch, resonating with his own aura and bursting out in unison.

That was a Demon Saber that slaughtered the world and dominated the battlefield!

The scarlet sharpness exploded, tearing the air with a terrifying screech.

The heavy, resolute blow blasted like a blood-red cannonball toward the head of the Canglang Demon King.

"Awooo!"

The Canglang Demon King howled at the moon, its body surface flashing with thunderbolts.

Facing the impact like a mountain roar and a sea howl, it knew it couldn’t possibly take this punch head-on.

It decisively abandoned the idea of resistance; its well-honed battle instinct and momentary decision-making had already caused its body to react.

Thunderbolt Blood Escape!

It’s the talent ability in the bloodline inheritance of the Thunder Wolf Race, somewhat similar to the Demonic Dao’s Blood Escape Skill, but much stronger.

By just paying the price of consuming some vitality, it can erupt with an escape technique stronger than the Divinity Transformation stage in a short time.

However... in front of Lu Wenwu, this move was useless!

The wolf body transformed into blood-red thunderbolt managed to travel only halfway when the heavy Military Killing Fist arrived.

The fist, pressing the speed to the extreme, tore the air with a terrifying shriek and slammed heavily into Canglang Demon King’s body.

In an instant, Canglang Demon King was directly blasted out of the Thunderbolt Blood Escape state, even crashing down into the beast tide below at a speed even faster than before!

That terrifying falling speed has already caused consecutive sonic booms!

The massive thunder wolf crashed, and the resulting shockwave was even more horrifying than when Cyan Wood Demon King fell, cracking even the solid earth.

The violent thunder exploded, affecting tens of thousands of demons in the charge.

At least a thousand demons died immediately, and several thousand were injured.

The demon beast’s assault on the city was slightly alleviated once more due to another Demon King being severely injured.

Just a temporary relief.

The beast tide continues relentlessly; the seemingly endless demon beasts keep charging towards Celestial Star City, like an unending tide.

This is utterly unimaginable.

Not to mention a loose beast tide, even a well-trained army would struggle to maintain its momentum to advance after witnessing its commander slain upfront.

To retreat in an orderly fashion, ensuring the formation remains intact, would already indicate an extremely elite presence.

Now, the state of the beast tide is incredibly peculiar.

Lu Wenwu overturned his previous conclusions.

Perhaps, it’s not that something is controlling them, but rather something is attracting them, driving them into collective madness.

"It seems, there are some secrets hidden within Celestial Star City that I am unaware of."

Just now, the Canglang Demon King barely evaded a critical hit but is now in a dying state, exhaling more than inhaling.

Lu Wenwu didn’t hurry to finish him but instead narrowed his eyes, directly staring at the charging Red Tiger Demon King.

"If you reveal something, I might spare you. I keep my words."

"I want you dead!"

The third brother is dead, the second brother is dying, and the Red Tiger Demon King is now completely consumed by fury.

Thinking only of revenge, he didn’t even hear Lu Wenwu’s inquiry, with his mind solely focused on killing the opponent.

The inheritance of the Celestial Fire Demon God?

No longer important, now it just wants to kill!

"Why do you have to push me? Calm down, think again."

Lu Wenwu casually throws a punch, sending the charging Red Tiger Demon King flying, then turns to the terrified Yellow Springs Ascendant.

"Do you have anything to say? Are you in cooperation with Celestial Star Child?"

Me?

I don’t know at all!

I mentioned the trade center!

I just picked a border town randomly to advance to Divinity Transformation!

And even if you want to accuse me, you can’t accuse me of cooperating with righteous demon people!

My status, Celestial Star Child’s position?

He, an old guy struggling even to climb into bed, is worthy of cooperating with me?

If he’s shameless, I refuse!

Yellow Springs Ascendant was speechless.

When Lu Wenwu threw out the Military Killing Fist earlier, his mind went numb.

That overwhelming killing intent, seemingly substantial Blood Evil Qi, is undoubtedly a terrifying great demon!

Who knows how many lives have been slaughtered to condense such power, even someone as renowned in the demonic path as him felt a chilling sensation stopping his breath.

Yellow Springs Ascendant believed himself to be extremely evil after his Evil Soul Bone Pearl had slaughtered tens of thousands.

But compared to the one before him...

Yellow Springs Ascendant fell silent.

This is not just a simple matter of comparison.

It’s entirely like comparing a baby to an ascension cultivator!

Once Yellow Springs Ascendant realized the danger, he intended to flee.

However, when he activated the Ten Thousand Miles Shifting Talisman, he discovered...

This item malfunctioned!

Sensing the spatial secrets, Yellow Springs Ascendant despaired.

The surrounding space seemed sealed by some force, rendering this level of shifting talisman ineffective.

If spatial methods fail, then... fight!

Taking advantage of the Red Tiger Demon King being casually sent flying again by Lu Wenwu, Yellow Springs Ascendant furiously activated almost all his means.

Instantly, the Evil Soul Bone Pearl emitted intense black light, releasing tens of thousands of resentful souls to obscure the previously clear night sky.

Howling resentful souls covered the sky, together with hundreds of silver skulls flying towards Lu Wenwu.

To attack Lu Wenwu comprehensively, Yellow Springs Ascendant even dissipated the black tornado released to harvest human and demon beast lives, absorbing the collected souls into his body for frantic refinement.

Meanwhile, several ghost slaves hunting in the city died instantly, the Secret Demon Path Golden Core erupted with a black-red golden light, shooting up like starlight and detonating beside Lu Wenwu.

For a moment, the sky over Celestial Star City resembled a ghostly abyss, like a hellish landscape descending upon the human world.

Listening to the sounds of Golden Core detonations, Lu Wenwu sighed.

What a waste, these could all have been attribute points.

He looked up, surrounded by over a hundred silver skulls flickering with thunder light, while tens of thousands of resentful souls surged toward him.

A very familiar scene, like coming home.
