Chapter 116: Two Kings Executed, Victorious Expedition
Above the Bone Plain, the battle situation changed in an instant!
Seeing the three Demon Kings abandon all dignity and flee in separate directions, Yu Yuanchen's eyes flashed with cold light! Want to escape? It won't be that easy! This counterattack aimed to severely cripple the top forces of the Demon Plane. If these three Demigod-Rank Demon Kings were allowed to retreat unscathed, they would surely become a major hidden danger in the future! Even if he couldn't annihilate them all, he had to at least leave two of them dead!
In a flash, Yu Yuanchen made his decision! His primary target was the Destruction Demon King Baroque, who appeared the most berserk but whose escape methods were relatively singular and who possessed extremely strong command over the low-rank demon army!
"gate of hell, Spatial Imprisonment!"
Yu Yuanchen's thought moved, and the Divine Artifact in his embrace trembled slightly. An invisible and formless spatial ripple instantly enveloped the several hundred zhang area around Baroque, who was roaring and trying to smash space to escape into the turbulent flow!
Buzz—!
Baroque only felt the surrounding space suddenly become as hard as divine iron. Its chain hammer, capable of collapsing mountains and tearing the earth, only stirred up ripples when it struck the Void Realm, unable to tear space anymore! Its most relied-upon escape method was forcibly sealed!
"Space is locked?! It's the power of the gate of hell!" Baroque was both shocked and enraged, instantly understanding. Without a spatial aisle, relying solely on flight, its enormous body wasn't the fastest. How could it escape?
"I'll trap you first and deal with you later!" Yu Yuanchen snorted coldly, temporarily ignoring Baroque, who could only rage powerlessly in place, attempting to forcefully break the Spatial Imprisonment. His second target was the Plague Devil King Anet, whose threat might be slightly less but who possessed extremely strong area-of-effect destructive power and posed a huge threat to the mid- and low-rank Soul Masters of the allied army!
At this moment, Anet had already quietly retreated over ten li, using the cover of poison clouds, and was about to merge into the distant murky sky!
"Where do you think you're going! Holy Dragon Prison Tribulation, Seal!"
Yu Yuanchen pointed his fingers like a sword, tapping the air! A highly condensed purple-gold lightning ray, as if traversing space, arrived later but instantly appeared above Anet's head, transforming into a lightning pillar over fifty zhang in diameter, descending with a roar! Within the light pillar, the flow of time slowed, and space was like a quagmire. A powerful suppressive force instantly enveloped and imprisoned Anet along with a large area of surrounding poison clouds and undead!
"Roar! Myriad Poisons Corrode the Heavens! Undead Tide!" Anet was both shocked and enraged, frantically urging its Devilish Qi. A sky-obscuring, dark green poisonous miasma erupted from its body. This miasma not only corroded the Physical Body but also eroded Soul Power and Spiritual Power! At the same time, countless powerful undead it had enslaved surged out from the Void Realm, wailing, charging the lightning pillar one after another, attempting to wear down the lightning power with sheer numbers! The light pillar trembled violently, actually flickering unsteadily under the impact!
"Petty tricks! Yin Yang Divine Lightning, Annihilate!" Yu Yuanchen's figure was like lightning, already closing in on the light pillar. Seeing this, he snorted coldly, flicked a finger, and several small black and white divine lightning bolts shot into the poisonous miasma and sea of undead like swimming fish! Amidst hissing sounds, wherever the lightning, imbued with the Law of Destruction, passed, the poisonous miasma rapidly dissolved, and the undead screamed, turning into green smoke like ice and snow under the sun! Anet's struggle paused!
"Poison Nova!" Anet, seeing the situation was bad, let out a sharp cry and actually actively detonated part of the poison clouds and undead! Boom! A terrifying energy storm, mixed with extreme poison, deathly stillness, and curses, exploded, forcibly tearing a gap in the lightning pillar! It seized the opportunity to transform into a green light and shot out from it!
"Trying to run? Destruction Thunder Seal, Suppress!" Yu Yuanchen had already anticipated this. He formed hand seals, and a massive square seal condensed from purple-gold lightning appeared out of thin air, carrying the majestic heavenly might that suppressed everything, smashing down upon Anet's head! Before the seal even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already solidified the surrounding space!
"Undead Barrier! Myriad Poison Shield!" Anet shrieked, summoning dense layers of skeletal shields and condensed venomous shields! At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out an extremely condensed vital poison arrow, shooting directly at Yu Yuanchen's face, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking a different target!
Boom! Crack!
The Destruction Thunder Seal was unstoppable. The skeletal shields and venomous shields shattered one after another like paper! But Anet also seized this opportunity, its body twisting strangely, avoiding the vital points. It was only grazed by the edge of the thunder seal, half its body's scales shattered, dark green blood splattered, and it let out a mournful howl! As for the vital poison arrow, it was easily deflected by the Lightning Battle Armor on Yu Yuanchen's body, sizzling as it dissipated into nothingness.
"This is the end!" Yu Yuanchen pressed on, not giving it any chance to breathe! His figure flashed, appearing before the injured Anet. His inner soul core spun frantically at an unprecedented speed, and boundless power surged into the thunder dragon spear condensed in his hand!
"Dragon Kings Judgment, Tenfold Amplification, Thunder Emperor's Annihilation Tribulation Spear! Kill!"
He roared, pouring a massive amount of power into this spear, and thrust it out fiercely! This spear pursued ultimate penetration and destruction! The spear body was entwined with condensed Annihilation Divine Lightning, moving so fast it surpassed visual capture!
"No!!" Anet's pupils constricted. It felt a fatal threat and desperately urged all its Devilish Qi, laying down layers of poisonous miasma and undead shields in front of it, while its body rapidly retreated!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
However, the lightning spear, imbued with the Law of Annihilation, ignored most defenses! The spear tip, like a hot knife through butter, continuously pierced through more than a dozen layers of shields, accurately and precisely striking the bone claw Anet frantically put up to block its chest!
Sizzle—!
The bone claw instantly turned to dust! The lightning spear's momentum remained undiminished, and in Anet's despairing eyes, it pierced through its demon core!
Boom!
The annihilative lightning power completely erupted from within its body! Anet's demon body, along with its remaining poison clouds and undead, were instantly annihilated and vaporized by the purple-black lightning!
Plague Devil King Anet, fallen! Throughout this process, the two sides exchanged blows for nearly ten rounds. Anet used all its means, but still couldn't escape defeat!
After killing Anet, Yu Yuanchen did not stop, his gaze instantly fixed on the last target—the Shadow Demon King Dhimoggen, who had transformed into thousands of shadows and was frantically fleeing!
"Shadow Clone? Let's see where you can run!" Yu Yuanchen's figure moved again, rushing into the swirling shadows! The Lightning Domain fully expanded, covering several thousand meters! Countless lightning bolts poured down like a torrential rain, striking every fleeing shadow!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!
The Shadow Clones shattered one after another! Yu Yuanchen's Spiritual Power scanned each Clone. Dhimoggen's shadow escape technique was indeed strange; the thousands of Clones were a mix of real and illusory, and their Auras were almost identical. Yu Yuanchen exerted his full power to annihilate them, destroying thousands of shadows in an instant, but ultimately he couldn't precisely locate and intercept the deeply hidden true body from this sea of Clones in a short amount of time!
Finally, when the last relatively solid shadow flickered and disappeared into the distant sky, Yu Yuanchen stopped his pursuit. In his powerful Spiritual Power perception, Dhimoggen's true body had vanished.
"Hmph, you got away quickly!" Yu Yuanchen snorted coldly. Dhimoggen, this demon, was skilled in stealth and trickery. This time, to escape with its life, it had unhesitatingly split into thousands of shadows, so its Origin Qi must have been severely damaged.
He then turned to look at the last target, still trapped by the Spatial Imprisonment—the Destruction Demon King Baroque!
At this moment, Baroque was still frantically attacking the spatial barrier, swinging its chain hammer with earth-shattering force, but it could never break through the Divine Artifact's imprisonment. It saw Anet fall and Dhimoggen flee, and its eyes were filled with despair and madness!
"Human! I'll fight you to the death! Destruction Fury!" Baroque, knowing escape was hopeless, went completely mad, burning its Origin Devilish Qi. Its body expanded again, and dark red flames of destruction burned on its chain hammer. With an Aura of mutual destruction, it charged fiercely at Yu Yuanchen! This strike contained its lifelong cultivation and mad will, its power far exceeding the usual!
"A dying struggle! Thunder Dragon Cleaves the Void!" Yu Yuanchen's expression remained unchanged. Faced with this desperate strike, he did not meet it head-on. His figure flashed skillfully like a swimming Dragon, avoiding the direct edge of the chain hammer. At the same time, he pointed his right hand like a blade, and a highly condensed lightning hand blade, like a heavenly blade striking down, accurately cleaved at the weak point of the chain hammer's force!
Clang!
A loud bang! Baroque's enraged strike was deflected, striking empty space and tearing a huge ravines in the ground! And it itself exposed a huge flaw due to overexertion!
"Die!" Yu Yuanchen seized this fleeting opportunity. His figure was like lightning, instantly closing in on Baroque! His left fist flashed with lightning, and a simple yet unadorned "Thunder Emperor's Collapsing Fist," imbued with destructive power, heavily smashed into Baroque's ribs, where its defense was slightly reduced due to burning Devilish Qi!
Bang!
Baroque's massive body shook violently, its rib scales shattered, and demon blood gushed out! It let out a painful roar, sweeping its chain hammer back!
Yu Yuanchen had already anticipated this move. He ducked low, evading the chain hammer, and lashed out his right leg like a steel whip, a "Divine Dragon Swings its Tail," a leg shadow entwined with lightning, fiercely kicking Baroque's knee joint!
Crack!
A piercing sound of bones cracking rang out! Baroque shrieked and fell to one knee!
"It's over! Tenfold Power, Thunder Spear Punishing Evil!" Yu Yuanchen showed no mercy. The thunder dragon spear condensed again, and seizing the moment when Baroque was off balance and its guard was wide open, he thrust the spear out. Like lightning streaking across the sky, it precisely pierced its heart!
Boom!
Lightning erupted. Baroque's massive demon body, amidst desperate roars, was completely engulfed and annihilated by the raging lightning!
Destruction Demon King Baroque, fallen! In this battle, Baroque's desperate counterattack also caused some trouble for Yu Yuanchen, who only managed to defeat it after seven or eight rounds.
Thus, of the three attacking Demon Kings, two were dead and one was severely wounded and fled!
Yu Yuanchen floated in the air, slowly exhaling a turbid breath. Continuously fighting and killing two Demigod-Rank Demon Kings was no small drain on him. His gaze swept over the battlefield below, which was nearing its end.
The demon army was leaderless, its morale collapsed, and it scattered in all directions. The Human Race allied army was fully engaged in mopping up. Although most low-rank demons escaped, after this battle, the top combat power of the Demon Plane was almost completely wiped out!
Yu Yuanchen descended and came to the front of the allied army's formation.
Everyone—Qian Chongxiao, Yu Boxuan, Sect Master, Ning Zhiyuan, Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen... all the Human Race Soul Masters who participated in this expedition stopped their actions and turned their gaze to that blue-robed figure. Their eyes, burning with fervor, looked at him, filled with shock, reverence, and pride!
It was he, Yu Yuanchen, who, with an invincible posture, single-handedly slew four Demon Kings! It was he who led them to accomplish this unprecedented feat—counterattacking the Demon Plane and achieving a glorious victory!
Yu Yuanchen's gaze swept over the excited and weary faces. His voice was calm yet carried a world-shaking majesty, spreading throughout the entire battlefield:
"Everyone, four Demon Kings have been executed. The remaining ones are not worth worrying about! This expedition to the Demon Plane, we... have achieved a complete victory!"
"This battle has not only cleared the threat of demon invasion but also opened up an unprecedented new situation for our Douluo Continent! From today onwards, the Demon Plane will no longer be a threat, but rather... a new territory for our Human Race Soul Masters to explore, train, and even colonize!"
"The achievements of today's battle, and the merits of all of you, will surely be recorded in history and shine for eternity! The Douluo Continent will enter a new era because of our actions today!"
His words, like a great bell, struck everyone's hearts!
"Long live!"
"Long live Young Sect Master Yu!"
"Long live humanity!"
After a brief silence, deafening cheers, like a mountain tsunami, erupted across the Bone Plain! All Soul Masters, regardless of their Sect Origin, were now boiling with excitement, unable to control themselves! They had participated in and witnessed a legendary battle destined to change the continental pattern! They were the creators of history!
Qian Chongxiao stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes filled with relief. Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen exchanged smiles, their Battle Intent soaring with infinite anticipation for the future. Older powerhouses like Yu Boxuan and Sect Master were even more greatly comforted, as if they saw a brighter future for their Sects and the continent.
The expedition to the Demon Plane, triumphant return!
An era of colonization belonging to the Douluo Continent slowly began with the execution of the Demon Kings! And Yu Yuanchen's legend will surely be sung for generations with this epic victory!
