Chapter 884
Rout
The eight trigrams and eight symbols of Hongyi were fully opened, and the characters transformed into eight chains, binding the five bony arms of the Mantis Demon Lord.
Ye Fan rushed behind the Mantis Demon Lord, clasped his fists together, and slammed them into the old wound.
The Mantis Demon Lord roared and forcefully broke the two Bagua chains.
Ye Fan punched him on the back armor, shattering large sections, but failing to penetrate it.
The Mantis Demon Lord turned around and struck Ye Fan in the chest with a bone hammer.
Ye Fan was sent flying by the impact.
Hong Yi's Bagua chains also broke completely, and he fell to the ground.
Bai Xiaochun's face changed completely when he saw the bone blade fall again. "Zhao Feng, if you don't come soon, I'm really going to be done for!"
boom!
On the edge of the universe, a blood-red curtain exploded, creating a rift spanning tens of thousands of miles.
A streak of gray-white spear light shot out from the crack, pierced through the battlefield, and aimed at the back of the Mantis Demon Lord.
The Mantis Demon Lord suddenly turned around, his five bony arms crossing simultaneously.
puff!
The spear light pierced through three bone arms, into his chest, pinning him back and sending him flying, crashing through the outer wall of a demon's lair.
Moro's expression changed drastically.
A figure stepped out from the crack in the blood curtain.
Zhao Feng was clad in the Armor of Indestructibility, with the Primordial Bell of Suppressing the Realm above his head. To his left was the Pangu Axe that Opened the Heavens, and to his right was the Primordial Spear of Great Destruction. The Primordial Divine Sword hung in front of him, the Heavenly Emperor Seal pressed down on the sky, and the Earthly Emperor Book supported the rifting star river beneath his feet.
The Mantis Demon Lord was impaled on the outer wall of its lair by the Great Annihilation Primordial Spear. Its three skeletal arms shattered into fragments, and its chest was pierced by the spearhead, with black blood flowing down the lair wall.
He struggled to pull out his spear.
The spear shuddered.
boom!
The Mantis Demon Lord's chest exploded, and the entire demon nest was shaken and swayed sideways, knocking over hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers behind it.
Bai Xiaochun, lying in the pit, almost burst into tears when she saw Zhao Feng return.
"You've finally arrived!"
"I almost died!"
Ye Fan stood up, supporting his injured body; his golden blood energy was still burning.
Hong Yi landed back on the city wall, the scroll in his hand riddled with cracks, yet he still stood guard before the Ninth Fortress.
Zhao Feng's gaze fell on Moro, and he said calmly, "All you know are these low-class tricks."
"Now that I am free, are you all ready to die?"
Moro's face was grim.
The black gun in his hand creaked as he gripped it.
That desolate killing formation we just saw was a contingency plan that the Demon Realm had spent a long time setting up.
Sixteen altars, tens of thousands of sacrificial spirits, and the Blood Star Array Banner are specifically designed to target Zhao Feng's numerous treasures and origins.
But Zhao Feng broke through the formation too quickly.
Moro was so fast that he didn't even have time to conquer the Ninth Fortress.
This battle should have ended completely the moment he led Zhao Feng into the remote borderlands.
Now it's the other way around.
Moro began to consider retreating.
He knew that the tide had turned against him!
But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he forcefully activated the Demon Emperor's essence, brandishing his black spear. The sixteen demon nests behind him trembled simultaneously. "Zhao Feng, don't be too arrogant!"
"Today's mishap was merely a momentary lapse on my part!"
"The true powerhouse of my Demon Realm has not yet descended. The Demon Emperor Tai Cang is at the peak of the seventh level of the Hongmeng Realm. Killing you is nothing more than turning the palm of his hand!"
"You can defend the Ninth Fortress, but you can't defend the entire Infinite Continent!"
Zhao Feng raised his hand.
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear was pulled out from the body of the Mantis Demon.
puff!
The Mantis Demon Lord fell from the outer wall of the demon's lair and crashed into the demon army.
Zhao Feng clenched his fist, and the spear fell back to his side. "Are you done talking nonsense?"
Moro's face twitched.
Zhao Feng took a step forward.
The Earth Emperor's Book beneath his feet opened, and the power of the thick earth sealed off the starry sky surrounding Moro.
The Heavenly Emperor's Seal crashed down from above.
Moro roared, and his black spear shot skyward.
boom!
The Heavenly Emperor's Seal pressed down on the black spear, causing the outer shell of the Demon Nest beneath Moro's feet to crumble layer by layer.
The sixteen demon nests simultaneously spewed out demonic energy, forcibly supporting the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and the Pangu Axe that split the heavens flew out.
A sweeping axe flashed.
Recently, a demon's lair was split in half on the spot, and millions of demons inside were shredded by the axe.
The altar at the bottom of the demon's lair exploded, instantly cutting off the supply of demonic energy.
The demon army outside the city lost the blessing of the demon nest, and large patches of black markings on their bodies went out.
Wang Jian seized the opportunity and shouted, "Kill!"
The Qin warriors reformed their formation, and the Demon-Slaying Crossbow bolts flew down close to the city wall.
The demon soldiers who climbed onto the breach were overturned row by row.
Tongtian laughed loudly, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian pressed down, slicing a powerful demon into four pieces. "Zhao Feng is back! You bunch of demon bastards, why aren't you running away?"
Bai Xiaochun climbed out of the pit, carrying the tortoise-patterned pot, and took two steps back. He called out, "Who was chasing me and hacking at me just now?"
"Now try cutting one down!"
The Mantis Demon Lord crawled up from the demon army, blood still gushing from the large hole in his chest.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaochun's voice, he suddenly looked up.
Bai Xiaochun shrank back in fright and immediately hid behind Ye Fan. "Why are you looking at me?"
"You were chasing me and I was hacking at each other just now, but now Zhao Feng is here. Go ahead and continue if you dare."
Black blood was still gushing from the gaping hole in the Mantis Demon Lord's chest. Three of his bone arms had been shattered by the Great Annihilation Primordial Spear, and the remaining bone arms were also cracked.
Even with his strength, the wounds left by the Great Destruction Spear could not heal instantly!
He stared at Zhao Feng, his fierce aura still there, but he had already taken a half step back.
Moro stood atop the demon's lair, gripping his black spear tightly, and suddenly hissed, "Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all sixteen demon nests trembled simultaneously.
A large plume of demonic smoke erupted from the bottom of the demon's lair, engulfing the demonic soldiers, generals, and priests outside, causing them to retreat madly towards the rift.
Upon hearing the order, the demon army besieging the city immediately broke formation.
Many demon soldiers had just climbed the city wall and hadn't even had a chance to jump down when they were surrounded and killed by the Xianqin armored soldiers.
Tongtian activated the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and four sword lights swept across the outside of the city, specifically targeting powerful demons.
With a flick of the Pangu Banner in his hand, Yuanshi unleashed chaotic energy that crashed into the ranks of the demon army, shattering several makeshift altars into pieces.
The Supreme Being manipulated the Taiji Diagram, and the Yin and Yang energies blocked one of the escape routes, forcing a large number of demons to retreat from the front of the city wall.
Moro glanced at the battlefield, his heart filled with raging fury.
He didn't want to back down, but he had no choice but to.
Zhao Feng raised his hand and made a gesture.
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear flew back into his palm.
He took a step forward, his killing intent palpable, "Did I say you could leave?"
Moro's heart sank, and he immediately shouted at the Mantis Demon Lord, "Mantis, stop him!"
The Mantis Demon Lord's body stiffened.
He turned to look at Moro, utterly shocked and furious. "You want me to cover your retreat?"
Moro stared at the mantis and said, "Don't worry, if you die in battle, I will ask the Demon Emperor Tai Cang to revive you with the blood pool of the Demon Realm."
The Mantis Demon Lord hesitated.
He refused.
But Moro's order had already been given.
Since he was weaker than Moro, he had no choice but to obey Moro's orders.
I had no choice at all!
The Mantis Demon Lord let out a low growl, and the black blood in his chest surged back into his body.
His remaining skeletal arms unfolded completely, and the flesh at the fracture site wriggled, forcibly forming three new limbs.
Followed by.
He moved swiftly, blocking Zhao Feng's path.
"Zhao Feng!"
"If you want to chase the demon army, you'll have to get over my dead body first!"
Zhao Feng scoffed, "You think you're worthy to stop me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Feng thrust out the Great Annihilation Primordial Spear in his hand.
The spearhead pierced through the demonic smoke, aiming directly at the Mantis Demon Lord's chest.
The Mantis Demon Lord moved all six arms simultaneously, its bone blades, bone hooks, and bone hammers striking the spear at the same time.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The six impact sounds merged into one.
The Mantis Demon Lord plowed a deep trench in the ground with its feet, and the large hole in its chest split open again.
Zhao Feng pressed down with his arm.
The spearhead slid past the bone blade, and with a soft "thud," severed a newly formed bone arm of the Mantis Demon Lord.
The Mantis Demon Lord roared, and another bone hook wrapped around Zhao Feng's nape.
Zhao Feng dodged to the side, grabbed the base of the bone hook with his left hand, and exerted force with his five fingers.
Click!
The bone hook was snapped in two. The Mantis Demon Lord tried to get closer, but Zhao Feng raised his knee and struck him in the abdomen.
boom!
The Mantis Demon Lord's abdomen collapsed, his body arched, and black blood spurted from his mouth.
Zhao Feng did not stop.
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear swept across, its shaft striking the Mantis Demon Lord in the face.
The Mantis Demon Lord's head was bent to one side, and half of his facial armor was shattered.
The demons outside the city trembled with fear.
The Demon Lord, who had just cornered Ye Fan, Bai Xiaochun, and Hong Yi, couldn't even put up a decent fight against Zhao Feng.
The Mantis Demon Lord was knocked back tens of thousands of feet by the spear shaft, but he still gritted his teeth and charged back.
He had no way out.
We have no choice but to fight desperately.
"The Demon Lord splits his body!"
The Mantis Demon Lord's chest exploded, black blood bursting forth, while its remaining bony arms expanded simultaneously, their bone blades extending thousands of feet long, slashing down in a crisscross pattern towards Zhao Feng's head.
The void was cut open with dense cracks.
Zhao Feng raised the Great Annihilation Primordial War Spear, with the tip pointing upwards.
boom!
The bone blade struck the tip of the spear.
The wasteland beneath Zhao Feng's feet sank.
The Mantis Demon Lord exerted all its strength, and the demonic patterns on its bony arms lit up one by one.
The dark gold patterns on Zhao Feng's indestructible armor appeared, showing no signs of damage.
He looked up at the Mantis Demon Lord and sneered, "That's it?"
next moment.
A world of 840 million microparticles vibrated simultaneously within the body.
Zhao Feng flipped his wrist.
The Great Destruction Primordial War Spear pierced through the intersection of the bone blades, and with a flick of the spearhead, all six bone blades snapped in two.
The Mantis Demon Lord's pupils contracted.
Zhao Feng was already in front of him.
The spear pierced a large hole in his chest.
puff!
The Mantis Demon Lord's body suddenly paused.
Zhao Feng gripped the spear with one hand and continued forward.
The spear pierced the back of the Mantis Demon Lord, lifting him up. "Moro said he can resurrect you."
"I'd like to see what he'll use to resurrect himself."
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear trembled.
The Mantis Demon Lord's body began to split open from its chest.
He struggled frantically, his bony arm slamming towards Zhao Feng's shoulder, but each time it struck, it was blocked by the Indestructible Armor, the impact shattering his joints.
"No!"
The Mantis Demon Lord roared.
Zhao Feng gripped the spear tightly with his five fingers and flung it outwards.
boom!
The Mantis Demon Lord was flung high into the sky, his body exploding in mid-air.
Blood mist spread for tens of thousands of miles, and fragments of bones crashed into the retreating demon army, shattering entire swarms of demon soldiers from the aftershocks.
The power of annihilation spread from within the blood mist, obliterating the remaining true spirit of the Mantis Demon Lord.
The aura of the Mantis Demon Lord completely vanished from the battlefield.
Bai Xiaochun froze for a moment, his face filled with shock. "Dead! Really dead! There's not a trace of him left in the River of Fate, the River of Time, or the River of Cause and Effect!"
Hong Yi's expression turned solemn. "No, I just calculated that this Demon Emperor's life is not yet over. Perhaps he really has a way to resurrect himself in the Demon Realm!"
Ye Fan laughed and said, "Even if it were to be resurrected, it would be nothing more than a clay chicken and a tile dog in front of Brother Zhao, not worth mentioning."
Zhao Feng ignored these trivial matters and looked toward the crack.
The sixteen demon nests there have retreated to the edge.
Moro stood atop the demon nest at the very front, watching the Mantis Demon Lord being destroyed with his own eyes, his face darkening with gloom.
He didn't stop.
With a flick of his black spear, most of the remaining demon army was thrown out, transforming into a black wall of blood to block Zhao Feng's pursuit.
Zhao Feng stepped into the air.
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear pointed at the back of the Demon King.
"Use demonic weapons to block the road?"
"I will grant your wish."
The spearhead pierced through the wall of blood, a grayish-white light flashing.
The wall of blood began to collapse from the middle, gradually crushed by the power of the Great Destruction.
Zhao Feng's figure passed through the wall of blood and charged towards the retreating demon's lair.
Moro heard a whooshing sound behind him and turned around abruptly.
Zhao Feng has caught up with the first demon's lair.
The Great Destruction Primordial Spear was raised, its tip piercing the demon's lair.
The spearhead enters the nest.
The outer shell of the demon's lair immediately cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns.
The demon priests inside were still activating the array patterns, trying to push the demon nest into the crack, but the power of great destruction had already penetrated into the core.
Zhao Feng's arm jerked.
boom!
The entire demon's lair exploded from the inside.
Fragments of the black nest wall flew everywhere, and millions of demon soldiers, unable to escape, were blasted into a bloody mist along with the altar.
Moro turned around and saw this scene, his teeth grinding together, "Zhao Feng!"
Zhao Feng, carrying the Great Annihilation Primordial Spear, stepped out of the shattered demon nest and said with a smile, "What do you want with me?"
Moro's face darkened, and he did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed a pitch-black pill.
As soon as the pill appeared, the surrounding demonic smoke was absorbed and collapsed, and tiny demonic faces emerged from the surface of the pill, opening their mouths to scream silently.
The Shadow Demon Lord stood at the back, his body hidden in the shadows of the Demon Nest, originally preparing to follow the Demon Nest into the rift.
Upon seeing the pill, he froze on the spot, "Heavenly Demon Annihilation Pill."
Moro tossed the pill to the Shadow Demon Lord, "Eat it."
The Shadow Demon Lord caught the pill, his hand trembling slightly.
As the Demon Lord of the Seventh Heaven of the Primordial Chaos, he naturally understood the price of this thing.
Half an hour later, both body and soul were destroyed.
The Shadow Lord gritted his teeth, "Moro, do you want me to die?"
The black spear of Moro pressed down on the top of the demon's lair, its tip pointing at the Shadow Demon Lord. "If you don't eat, you'll die now."
The Shadow Demon Lord's body, hidden within the demonic smoke, undulated violently.
Moro gave him no choice. "Eat it and stop Zhao Feng. I will personally invite the Great Demon Emperor to enter the Blood Pool to help you and the Mantis Demon Lord reunite in your demonic bodies."
The Shadow Demon Lord stared at the pill in his palm, hesitant.
Moro gave him no time to think, and the demonic runes on the black spear lit up. "Shadow, I do not wish to repeat myself."
Zhao Feng emerged from the blasted ruins of the Demon Nest.
He held the Great Destruction Primordial War Spear in his hand, the tip of the spear cutting through the void, leaving gray-white cracks that stretched all the way.
He looked at Moro with great interest and sneered, "Moro, you demons are really loyal."
Moro did not turn around. "Shadow, three breaths."
The Shadow Demon Lord's face, hidden in the black mist, twisted in pain.
Take a breath.
Zhao Feng took a step forward.
The ruins beneath their feet collapsed, and the remaining demonic soldiers were blasted into black ash.
Two breaths.
Moro raised his black spear, its tip aimed at the back of the Shadow Demon Lord.
Before three breaths had passed, the Shadow Demon Lord suddenly tilted his head back and stuffed the Heavenly Demon God-Slaying Pill into his mouth.
boom!
As soon as the pill entered his stomach, the black mist on the Shadow Demon Lord's body exploded on the spot.
His body was already somewhere between reality and illusion, and now his entire body was torn into tens of thousands of shadow lines, which were then forcibly pieced back together under the power of the demonic core.
The sounds of bones breaking, souls cracking, and flesh burning were all mixed together.
Hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers nearby were caught off guard and the shadow lines passed through their bodies.
The demon soldier's body instantly withered, its essence completely devoured by the Shadow Demon Lord.
The Shadow Lord, writhing in pain, knelt on the outer wall of the demon's lair, plunging his hands into his chest and tearing it open.
It wasn't a heart inside, but a spinning black hole.
Countless shadowy claws emerged from the black hole, seizing the demon's lair, demon soldiers, and priests, and devouring them madly.
Bai Xiaochun's scalp tingled at the sight. "He's taking pills, but why is he also eating his own people?!"
Hong Yi unfurled the scroll in his palm again, "This pill is burning not only itself, but also the surrounding demonic energy."
"Brother Zhao, be careful."
Zhao Feng stood before the ruins of the demon's lair, his spear raised. "I'll wait until he's finished eating." (End of Chapter)
