Chapter 836: Chapter 436 Ambush_2
“However, because of the situation in the Great Yu Imperial City, after a long absence, today, Zhang Yang’s mission includes a five-star task.”
[Daily Task 1: Assist the Great Yu Dynasty in killing demon beasts]
Task Difficulty: Five Stars
Task Reward: 75 demon power points
“They want me to make a move? They think too highly of me,” Su Nan frowned.
Though he now had strength sufficient to cope with late-stage emperor-level adversaries, facing a peak emperor-level opponent still posed significant difficulty.
The gap between late-stage emperor level and peak emperor level might seem like only a small difference in realm, but the actual divide is immense.
Even against a peak emperor-level demon, without resorting to forbidden methods such as Qi Luck, Apocalypse Heavenly Thunder, or Life and Death Mirror, he had little hope of victory.
Not to mention that his adversary was a peak emperor-level demon beast.
In reality, he could leverage the power of the Supreme Divine Soil, but in this game, there was no Supreme Divine Soil for his use.
“Nevertheless, this task doesn’t seem impossible to complete, after all, I’m not fighting alone here.”
Looking at the crowd battling the demon beast, anticipation shone in Su Nan’s eyes.
If the strength of the Human’s Three Sects and Six Religions of Dongchen State was powerful enough, maybe he wouldn’t even need to intervene.
“A peak emperor’s presence, I wonder how much I could improve if I used the God and Demon Sky Devour to absorb it?”
Until now, the demon beasts he had devoured were all at the early stage of emperor level; he hadn’t even come across middle-stage or late-stage ones.
But now, the opportunity presented itself.
However, looking at the foreknowledge information flickering on the panel, he realized he’d been too optimistic.
[A peak emperor-level demon beast breaks free from its confines, presenting the Humans with an unprecedented challenge. They must bring out all their strong members, and you, as one of the Humans, are also prepared to act.]
[A minute later, several powerful Humans are evenly matched with the demon beast, with neither side showing clear weakness.]
[Two minutes later, you realize that although the three human peak emperor-level experts are powerful, a careful observation reveals that their strength is quickly depleting.]
[In contrast, the demon beast shows no signs of decline, and its aura even seems to be growing faintly stronger.]
[Three minutes later, the gap between the two sides widens, with Human experts gradually falling behind.]
[End of the first prediction, continue?]
“The strength of the demon beast is recovering!”
“No, we can’t let it keep recovering.”
Su Nan immediately understood what was happening.
Such a situation had occurred last time the Spatial Channel was opened, and the solution was quite simple.
With a flip of his hand, the Fishing Rod of Fate appeared in his grasp.
Casting the rod, an invisible link shot straight towards the demon beast, and the next moment, he had established causality with it.
Having done all this, he looked to foresee, ready to use his Qi Luck in the vision.
[You know that the demon beast’s strength will quickly recover as time goes on. You decisively use 500 points of Demon Race Luck to cast the Art of Fate, interrupting the demon’s recovery process.]
[Affected by the Art of Fate, the recovery process of the demon beast is interrupted. Sensing something wrong with itself, the demon beast is shocked and angry.]
[A minute later, the numerous powerful Humans and the demon beast are evenly matched.]
[Two minutes later, both sides are rapidly depleting their strength, and the demon beast starts to fall behind.]
[Three minutes later, the demon beast’s strength is further depleted, and as it’s about to be defeated by the Human experts, at the crucial moment, the demon beast uses some secret technique, and its aura quickly surges.]
“Still not enough?”
Su Nan frowned, but thinking of that peak emperor-level demon beast from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge last time, he felt relieved again.
Last time, it was only through the White Winged Tiger Clan ancestor’s sacrifice, forcing a breakthrough to the Saint Level, that they narrowly managed to slay that peak emperor-level demon beast of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Although the current peak emperor-level demon beast was besieged by three equally strong peak emperor-level experts, their strengths were just barely balanced.
“So, I still need to take action after all. I hope I don’t come out at a loss this time.”
At most, he could only exert late-stage emperor-level strength, which meant in a battle at the peak emperor level, he could only play a supportive role, not amounting to much.
And to act without directly entering the battlefield, the Art of Fate was undoubtedly still the first choice.
He now had only two thousand demon race luck points available for use, so just to be on the safe side, the avatar in Tianjue Province quickly took action, killing and devouring the last of the four Demonic Emperors captured last time.
“The Art of Fate combined with the Fishing Rod of Fate can have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts.”
“But the power of the Fishing Rod of Fate is too great. If it doesn’t succeed, then so be it, but once it does, this demon beast will likely burst to death on the spot.”
He wasn’t sparing any expense in luck points to deal with this demon beast just for the sake of completing the task and earning those measly 75 demon power points.
What he wanted was to capture it alive, and then have his avatar devour it.
“Let’s try adding fifteen hundred luck points and see the effect,” Su Nan was not stingy.
Foreknowledge began again.
The panel information flickered, and the breath between foreknowledge ended.
He quickly scanned it, and his eyes lit up.
It had succeeded. Under his Art of Fate, the demon beast was severely injured and eventually forced into a disgraceful retreat.
“Excellent, this is exactly the effect I wanted!” Having obtained the desired result, Su Nan swiftly took action.
A full fifteen hundred luck points were spent as the Art of Fate was activated.
At this very moment, the middle-aged demon beast on the battlefield also sensed something wrong with itself and couldn’t help changing colors.
“Luck! Damn it, who is scheming against me in secret!”
As a former Saint Level being, the middle-aged demon beast understood the situation in an instant and was furious.
Suddenly, the strength that had been gradually recovering in his body not only stopped but began to decline.
“What’s going on?”
The three peak emperor-level human experts sensed something off about the middle-aged demon beast, exchanged glances, and instantly realized that someone was helping them.
“Hahaha, Hong Jiu, it seems you’re destined to be left behind today.” Although they didn’t know who was assisting them, it didn’t stop them from heaving a sigh of relief.
Originally, facing the middle-aged demon beast, they were not sure they could deal with him, but now with the aid of an unknown powerful person who had achieved a clear effect, their confidence was boosted.
The three peak emperor-level human experts didn’t hold back and, just like in the foreknowledge, quickly gained the upper hand and began to counterattack against the middle-aged demon beast.
Under normal circumstances, fifteen hundred luck points would obviously not be enough to deal with a peak emperor-level demon beast, but now, with the assistance of many emperor-level strong beings, it was much easier.
The human emperor-level experts were the demon beast’s fate tribulation, and all Su Nan needed to do was magnify this tribulation to a certain extent.
Two minutes later, an old man found an opportunity, and his divine weapon shot out, striking the middle-aged demon beast suddenly.
The old man held nothing back; it was his strongest blow. With the divine weapon’s empowerment, it unleashed a terrifying force.
Struck by the divine weapon, the body of the middle-aged demon beast, formed from condensed demonic qi, shook violently, nearly dispersing, and its breath fell off like a cliff.
This provided an opportunity to the others, and all burst forth in unison, aiming to annihilate the middle-aged demon beast.
The middle-aged one struggled to defend but, unfortunately, under the influence of the Art of Fate, he still couldn’t completely avoid this deathblow.
Having been severely injured again, the middle-aged’s breath plummeted, and his complexion turned exceedingly grim.
However, like other demon beasts, even at this point, he showed no fear and coldly surveyed the group while speaking in a chilly tone:
“I admit, you old fools have won this round, but what of it?”
“I already feel it coming. The Demon Abyss is about to descend again. You old fools wait for me. When the Demon Abyss arrives, I will ensure all of your human race are slaughtered!”
The middle-aged voice was icy, but before his speech ended, his figure flashed, turning into a black light that shot towards the sky.
“Damn it! He’s trying to escape, stop him!”
The old men reacted quickly, immediately giving chase to the demon beast.
However, the middle-aged demon beast was extremely fast, and even the trio of peak emperor-level old men couldn’t keep up.
“He escaped! The demon beast actually escaped.”
“Is it over just like that?”
The players watching from a distance were taken aback by this scene.
Unknown to them, tens of miles away from the Imperial City, another confrontation was just about to begin.
In the midst of an ancient village that had been abandoned for untold years, Su Nan stood quietly on the ridge of a rooftop, waiting.
In his foreknowledge, the fleeing middle-aged demon beast would come here.
