Chapter 114: King Beheaded, Divine Artifact Changes Hands
Inside the altar hall, the atmosphere instantly froze!
Four terrifying wills, containing endless tyranny, greed, and evil, descended like four invisible mountains, crashing down upon Yu Yuanchen as he reached for the main body of the gate of hell! The essence of these wills was so strong that each was no less than the Demon King Salvos, whom Yu Yuanchen had beheaded! Unexpectedly, the contingency left behind by the remaining four Demon Kings of the Demon Plane on this Divine Artifact, the gate of hell, had been triggered!
"Ant! Stop!"
"Desecrating a sacred object, you deserve to die!"
"Leave your Soul behind and wail in Hell for ten thousand years!"
The evil intent pierced into Yu Yuanchen's Sea of Consciousness like steel needles, attempting to disrupt his mind and stop his actions.
However, Yu Yuanchen's expression was as calm as water, and not even a ripple appeared in the depths of his eyes. He had long anticipated that for such an important plane Divine Artifact, the other Demon Kings could not possibly be unprepared. These four consciousnesses were nothing but rootless duckweed, possessing only their might but lacking substantial power.
"Noisy."
He spat out these two cold words. His hand reaching for the pitch-black door frame did not retract; instead, it accelerated! In his palm, purple-gold thunder runes circulated, emitting an aura that destroyed all Laws, directly ignoring the impact of those four wills as he grabbed onto the cold door frame of the gate of hell!
Hum—!
The gate of hell trembled violently, and the dark red halo on the door frame flickered crazily, attempting to resist Yu Yuanchen's control. The wills of those four Demon Kings let out roars of shock and anger, crashing even more frantically against Yu Yuanchen's Spiritual defense line, yet it was like a mayfly shaking a tree; they could not shake his Peak Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power in the slightest!
"Mere remnant thoughts, and you dare to stop me?" Yu Yuanchen snorted coldly, and his massive Spiritual Power surged into the gate of hell like a tide, beginning to forcibly expel and obliterate the consciousness imprints left by the four Demon Kings! He wanted to take this Divine Artifact completely for himself!
"Bastard!"
"He can actually resist our will!"
"We cannot let him succeed! Join forces, burn this consciousness, and work together to drive the gate of hell to teleport Adoster's main body over!"
Seeing that Yu Yuanchen was not only unaffected but had actually begun to refine the Divine Artifact, the four Demon King wills were shocked and angry. They knew that if the Divine Artifact were taken, the consequences would be unimaginable! In their desperation, they spared no cost, crazily burning the strands of consciousness left in the Divine Artifact!
Boom!
In the center of the altar hall, the main body of the gate of hell erupted with blinding blood light! The dark vortex inside the door frame spun with unprecedented speed, and a powerful spatial fluctuation swept out! The entire castle shook violently!
"Not good! They are forcibly driving the Divine Artifact to perform spatial teleportation!" Qian Chongxiao's expression changed. Holding the Angelic Sacred Sword, the Holy Light surged, and he stood ready. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen also instantly activated their Martial Soul possession, operating their Soul Power to the fullest.
Yu Yuanchen's gaze sharpened, but the refining motion of his hand did not stop at all; instead, it accelerated a little. He wanted to see what tricks these Demon Kings could pull.
The next moment, the blood light reached its Peak! A thick, dark red beam of light shot up from the gate of hell, tearing through the roof of the altar hall and piercing straight into the dark red firmament! Within the beam of light, a figure that was incomparably huge, ferocious, and exuding a terrifying aura far exceeding Salvos was rapidly transforming from virtual to real!
It was a giant demon over fifteen meters tall! Its entire body was covered in thick, dark purple scales that shimmered with a metallic luster. On its head grew a pair of curved, purple-gold giant horns that looked like a crown, and a pair of tattered but still sky-covering wings flapped slowly behind it. In its hand, it held a huge battle halberd burning with deep purple hellfire! Its eyes were pure purple-gold, filled with arrogance, tyranny, and an endless desire for slaughter!
The powerful pressure swept out like a tsunami, making Qian Chongxiao, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen feel their breathing stifle! This aura had actually reached the Peak Demi-God! It was even a notch stronger than Qian Chongxiao, who held a Divine Artifact!
"It's Adoster! The Demon King with the Purple-Gold Imperial Blood!" Qian Chongxiao exclaimed, his expression extremely grave. Through the demon memories previously shared by Yu Yuanchen, he recognized this strongest among the Demon Kings!
Adoster possessed the extremely rare Imperial Purple-Gold Bloodline among demons, and its strength was the best among the five kings; it was the well-deserved number one powerhouse of the Demon Plane! The other four Demon Kings, in their moment of crisis, spared no cost in burning their consciousnesses to teleport this strongest existence over!
"Roar! Who is it! Daring to disturb this Emperor's slumber and covet our clan's sacred object!" Adoster fully descended, letting out a heaven-shaking roar. Its purple-gold eyes instantly locked onto Yu Yuanchen, who was pressing one hand on the gate of hell, seemingly refining something. It felt the aura of its clansman Salvos's fall, as well as the disgusting and vaguely palpitating power fluctuations on this human before it.
"Human! Was it you who killed Salvos? Such great courage! Die for this Emperor!" Adoster didn't waste any words, directly swinging the huge purple-flame battle halberd in its hand, bringing with it a terrifying momentum that tore through space, hacking down at Yu Yuanchen! Before the halberd arrived, the scorching hellfire and terrifying force had already burned the surrounding space until it twisted!
This strike contained its full power at the Peak Demi-God, swearing to hack this audacious human and his Soul into pieces!
"Brother Yuanchen, be careful!" Qian Daoliu exclaimed, and the Angelic Sacred Sword was about to strike.
"I will help you!" Tang Chen roared, the Clear Sky Hammer already raised.
Qian Chongxiao's Holy Light erupted even more, about to step forward to join forces against the enemy.
However, facing this terrifying strike capable of splitting mountains and breaking cliffs, Yu Yuanchen made a move that surprised everyone.
Not only did he not dodge or defend, he... smiled. The local demons were truly too enthusiastic; delivering a head from thousands of miles away, the gift was light but the sentiment was heavy!
It was a smile with a bit of playfulness, a bit of mockery, and absolute self-confidence.
"Purple-gold?" Yu Yuanchen looked at Adoster's eye-catching purple-gold scales and giant horns, then looked down at the noble and majestic purple-gold thunder battle armor circulating around his own body, raising his eyebrows slightly. His tone carried a condescending evaluation:
"What kind of status do you think you have, using the same color as me?"
Before his voice fell, the aura around his body, like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years, erupted!
"Seventh Soul skills, Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body—Possession! Open!"
Boom! A purple-gold thunder light, more brilliant, more condensed, and with greater pressure than before, shot into the sky! Yu Yuanchen's figure seemed to merge with the thunder, transforming into a Thunder God who wielded the Heavenly Tribulation! That massive aura instantly pressed back Adoster's Divine Might!
"Ninth Spirit Ability, Dragon Kings Judgment! Triple amplification, open!"
Hum! The thunder dragon spear in his hand suddenly extended and solidified. The black extinction divine lightning winding on its surface hissed, and the destructive fluctuation made the entire space tremble! With the triple power amplification activated, Yu Yuanchen's combat power instantly soared to an unimaginable level!
Come to think of it, this Purple-Gold Imperial Blood had some merit; although it was still inferior to his own near-Dragon King level Bloodline, it barely counted as a grade in terms of hierarchy, so Dragon Kings Judgment could only amplify its power by three times.
"Kill!"
Facing the hacking purple-flame battle halberd, Yu Yuanchen did not dodge or evade. The thunder dragon spear in his hand turned into a purple-black lightning bolt that tore through the Void Realm, attacking with an attack, and met it head-on!
The spear shot out like a Dragon, the thunder startled the universe!
Rumble—!!!!
The spear and halberd intersected, erupting with a roar and energy storm ten times more terrifying than any previous collision! The entire altar hall, in the aftermath of this collision, shattered and collapsed inch by inch like paper! The dark red sky was torn open with a huge gap, revealing the chaotic spatial turbulence behind it!
"Ugh!" Adoster let out a muffled grunt of shock and anger. Its invincible purple-flame battle halberd, at the moment of collision with the thunder dragon spear, was actually forcibly cracked with a huge gap! The deep purple hellfire burning on the halberd was directly annihilated by more than half by the black thunder containing the aura of extinction! An irresistible giant force came along the battle halberd, shaking its arms numb, and its huge body staggered back more than ten steps, each step stepping out deep cracks on the ground!
As for Yu Yuanchen, his figure only swayed slightly, then stood as steady as Mount Tai in place, the thunder light around his body still scorching!
The gap was immediately clear!
"How is it possible?!" Adoster's purple-gold eyes were filled with unbelievable horror! How could this human's strength be so terrifying?! He clearly felt that the opponent's energy level had not fully stepped into the Divine Rank, but this attack power was far beyond an ordinary Peak Demi-God!
"Yin Yang Divine Lightning, Yin and Yang strangulation!"
Yu Yuanchen did not forgive after gaining the upper hand, not giving it a chance to catch its breath at all. His left hand pressed into the void, and the black and white thunder power appeared out of thin air like a millstone, one Yin and one Yang, containing the mystery of life and death transformation, winding and strangling toward Adoster! Wherever it passed, space was twisted and decomposed!
"Extinction Divine Lightning, destroying all Laws!"
His right hand's thunder dragon spear pierced again. A point of extreme darkness condensed at the tip of the spear. That was the manifestation of the pure Law of destruction, ignoring defense and pointing directly at the Origin!
Adoster was shocked and angry, waving the battle halberd crazily, purple flames towering, trying to resist. But it was horrified to find that the black and white thunder was weird and incomparable; its hellfire could not be completely burned, but was constantly worn away by its Yin and Yang power. And that point of extinction divine lightning made its Soul tremble, forcing it to split most of its energy to dodge!
Boom boom boom!
Yu Yuanchen's attacks were like a storm, never stopping! The thunder dragon spear sometimes blasted out in pieces, sometimes condensed into a point for a sudden attack; the Yin Yang Divine Lightning sometimes turned into a net to trap the enemy, sometimes turned into a sword to pierce; the extinction divine lightning was even more elusive, specializing in attacking flaws!
He didn't need any fancy Soul skills names; between raising his hands and feet, everything contained the supreme attack of the thunder Law! Speed, strength, technique, and understanding of the Law were comprehensively crushed!
Adoster had the cultivation of the Peak Demi-God and a powerful Demon Imperial body, yet it was beaten until it had no power to fight back! The purple-gold scales on its body constantly cracked, purple-gold blood like magma splashed everywhere, its meat wings were torn to pieces, and its aura withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It tried to perform a powerful demon forbidden technique, but was suppressed by Yu Yuanchen's thunder Domain, and the Devilish Qi that had just condensed was scattered by the violent thunder! It wanted to rely on its Physical Body to resist, but found that Yu Yuanchen's melee ability was equally terrifying; fists, palms, fingers, and knees all contained the power to split mountains and rocks, combined with the thunder, beating it until its tendons and bones were about to crack!
On the side, Qian Chongxiao, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen had long been dumbfounded.
Qian Chongxiao held the Angelic Sacred Sword, wanting to step forward to help several times, but found that he couldn't intervene at all! Yu Yuanchen's attacks were like flowing clouds and water, without any flaws, sealing off all of Adoster's dodging space and counter-attack angles! If he joined rashly, it might disrupt Yu Yuanchen's rhythm.
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen looked at each other in horror. They knew Yu Yuanchen was strong, but they didn't expect him to be strong to this extent! This was the strongest among the Demon Kings, an existence at the Peak Demi-God! He was actually being crushed like a sandbag?
"Roar! Human! You have completely angered this Emperor!" Adoster was beaten into a sorry state, losing all dignity, letting out a crazy roar, trying to burn its Origin for a final fight.
"Angered?" Yu Yuanchen's eyes were cold, and his offensive changed suddenly! "Are you worthy?"
"Played enough, time to hit the road. As a family, one must leave together."
After the words fell, all the thunder around Yu Yuanchen's body instantly converged, all surging into the thunder dragon spear in his hand! The dragon spear became like a solid purple-gold crystal, all the thunder patterns on the surface lit up to the extreme, and a destructive energy that made the world lose its color was crazily compressed and condensed inside!
"Dragon Kings Judgment, Thunder Spear Slaying Evil! Triple—amplification!"
His arm muscles bulged, pouring all his strength, Soul Power, Qi and blood, Spiritual Power, and his understanding of thunder, destruction, and slaughter Laws into it! Then, he used all his strength to throw this thunder spear, which condensed the ultimate power of destruction, toward Adoster, who was decaying in aura and trying to struggle!
Whoosh—!
The moment the spear left his hand, time seemed to stand still. There was no sound, no light leakage, only a tiny, almost invisible purple-black thread, instantly tearing through space, ignoring all of Adoster's futile defenses and dodges, accurately and incomparably, piercing through that beating, purple-gold Demon Imperial heart again!
Adoster's huge body stiffened suddenly, its purple-gold eyes widened, filled with extreme fear, unwillingness, and... confusion. It looked down at the huge hole in its chest that was transparent from front to back, feeling the vitality in its body being rapidly annihilated by that destructive thunder.
"Im... pos... sible..."
It opened its mouth, letting out the last trace of weak Spiritual fluctuation.
Boom—!!!
The next moment, an explosion more violent than when Salvos died occurred! Adoster's Demon body was completely burst, disintegrated, and finally turned into the finest particles from the inside by the endless purple-gold thunder light, dissipating between heaven and earth! Not even a trace was left!
The Demon King Adoster, fallen!
Inside and outside the altar hall (which had become ruins), there was dead silence.
Qian Chongxiao, Qian Daoliu, and Tang Chen looked blankly at the blue-clothed figure standing proudly in front, and the slowly dissipating thunder light, speechless for a long time.
Yu Yuanchen slowly withdrew his gaze, as if he had just done a trivial thing. He turned around and pressed his hand on the main body of the gate of hell, which was floating quietly with dim light because of the loss of energy support, again.
This time, there was no more obstruction.
His massive Spiritual Power drove straight in, easily erasing the residual, extremely weak Demon King consciousness imprint on it, and planting his own Soul imprint!
Hum!
The gate of hell trembled slightly, the dark red halo on the surface quickly faded, transforming into docile purple-gold thunder light. The dark vortex inside the door frame also calmed down, emitting gentle spatial fluctuations.
The Divine Artifact changed hands!
From now on, this auxiliary Divine Artifact capable of communicating with the plane—the gate of hell, was surnamed Yu!
Yu Yuanchen felt the close connection established with the Divine Artifact, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a satisfied arc. He moved his mind, shrinking the main body of the gate of hell, turning it into a stream of light, and putting it into his arms, planning to study it later.
Then, he looked at the three people who were still in shock, and said calmly:
"The matter here is done. Adoster has been executed, and the gate of hell has been obtained. The goal of this trip has been successfully exceeded."
"Let's go, it's time to meet... the remaining three."
His tone was flat, but it carried an incomparable confidence and domineering aura.
The counterattack on the Demon Plane, the first battle was won, and it was a brilliant victory!
