Chapter 677
The Inner Demon God Destined for Death
Even with the desperate efforts of Hell's will to maintain it, the gate's defenses still appeared remarkably strong in certain areas.
However, under the persistent and precise penetration of the Heart Demon God's mental rules, the defenses were ultimately breached, leaving a fatal gap.
[Furthermore, the struggles of recent years have gradually weakened the power of Hell.]
Therefore, when faced with the inner demon that ignites everything, He was ultimately powerless.
[Thus, the torrent of power from the Heart Demon God surged through the breach, officially invading the interior of the Great World of Hell.]
[The moment it entered, the cold and ruthless will of the Heart Demon God locked onto the most crucial convergence point of the Hell's origins.]
Without a shred of mercy, the looting began!
[The immense power of the mind transformed into countless silver tentacles and vortexes, ruthlessly piercing the very essence of hell, forcibly extracting and refining it, preparing it as the foundational nourishment for the future Red Heart Great World.]
At the same time, He did not spare the shattered realms still drifting within Hell.
In His eyes, these are precious resources, the building blocks and fuel for building a new world.
In the past, we were powerless and could only watch helplessly.
Now, possessing overwhelming power, capable of trampling hell underfoot and grinding it at will, we will naturally scramble to the ground, leaving not a single blade of grass behind!
This extreme and undisguised plunder and exploitation is precisely the lofty ideal that the inner demon god believes in.
He leaves no room for the enemy, and extracts every usable value to secure the greatest possible living space and resources for his own side.
[In the year 34795 of the Extraordinary Era, this one-sided plunder and torture, which was almost like being slowly sliced to pieces, finally drew the deep attention and an overwhelming chill from viewers further afield.]
[The will of the abyss and the will of the spirit realm, though each retreated behind layers of defense, consistently extended a portion of their perception like invisible tentacles, closely monitoring the battle situation in the direction of hell.]
When they perceived through the rules how the inner demons were systematically and brutally dismantling and peeling away Hell, a sense of horror arose spontaneously.
The methods and will displayed by the Inner Demon God are terrifying!
[Or rather, how could the Inner Demon God, as an individual cultivator, possess such power?]
How can one defy the world like this?
This is not a process of mutual annexation between equal rivals, but rather a condescending treatment, as if dealing with inferior creatures or mineral deposits.
This is an insult to the world!
Although there have been instances of mutual invasion and the survival of the fittest among the three worlds throughout history, these were games played on a relatively equal footing.
[But the actions of beings like the Heart Demon God, who ruthlessly slaughter the will of a great world like livestock on a chopping block, plundering its most fundamental foundation of existence, completely overturn their long-held understanding and dignity.]
This mixture of humiliation and fear was difficult for them to accept.
But just as the will of the Abyss and the Spirit Realm were consumed by the extreme stimulation, their killing intent boiling, and they were almost about to temporarily lower their guard and attempt to join forces to intervene, the battlefield situation took an unexpected turn.
The Demon God, who had been steadily and terrifyingly plundering the essence of hell, suddenly experienced an unstable fluctuation in the brilliant, seemingly inexhaustible silver radiance emanating from his body.
[Immediately afterwards, its terrifying aura that had suppressed the entire battlefield weakened noticeably, like a punctured balloon.] [Although still powerful, it had clearly declined compared to its previous peak aura, which seemed capable of incinerating the universe.]
This sudden change was like pouring a bucket of ice water next to a powder keg about to explode, instantly halting the impending joint action between the Abyss and the Spirit Realm.
At the same time, this also allowed the will of hell, on the verge of complete collapse, to see, in the abyss of despair, a faint glimmer of hope.
【really!】
An individual practitioner is ultimately just an individual practitioner!
Even the mighty power gained by a transcendent being through self-sacrifice cannot compare to the vast and boundless origin of the world, rooted in the rules of the universe, possessing near-infinite resilience and endurance.
That seemingly unstoppable burst of energy was ultimately a fire without a source, brilliant but destined to be short-lived.
Just as the ancient hell, even on the verge of collapse, could rely on the profound foundation and tenacious vitality of the Great World to drag the even more powerful founder of the Red Heart Society, who almost reversed time and space, into a quagmire of attrition, ultimately outlasting him.
Now, faced with the same resolute burning of the inner demon, the will of hell, amidst extreme pain and fear, has also rekindled a twisted glimmer of hope.
He was also confident that, with the remaining, cockroach-like tenacity of the greater world, He could outlast the Heart Demon God just as well!
So what if we have to endure thousands more years of plunder and torment?
[If it weren't for the Red Heart Society, that constant troublemaker who disrupts the balance, ten thousand years would be nothing more than a fleeting moment to them!]
Even after burning everything, the Heart Demon God maintained such a high-intensity and high-efficiency plundering and suppression of Hell. This extreme output state inevitably caused irreversible and severe depletion to its already burning foundation of existence.
The first step is the weakening of the aura. Then, as the burning continues, there will inevitably be a precipitous drop in power output, the collapse of the rules, and ultimately, a complete and utter collapse.
Thinking of this, the will to resist that had been almost crushed by Hell's will actually revive once more, as if in a final burst of energy before death.
Even the slightest self-deceptive thought arising from the depths of despair and madness is enough for Him to mobilize every last ounce of strength, stubbornly cowering in defense, stalling for time, and waiting for that slim chance of reversal.
Meanwhile, the Abyss and the Spirit Realm, observing from afar, upon detecting the clear signal of the weakening aura of the Heart Demon God, almost immediately and completely suppressed the nascent impulse to support Hell in self-preservation.
In an instant, they returned to their most rational mode of observation and waiting.
[Aid to Hell?]
That means actively exposing oneself to the potential wrath of the inner demon, thus consuming one's precious life force.
Since the decline of the Heart Demon God is a foregone conclusion, the best strategy is to continue to cower and watch as Hell is further weakened.
They even hoped that the Demon God and Hell would both be severely weakened in their final battle, at which point they could clean up the mess and divide the spoils with minimal cost.
[As for whether hell can withstand it?]
That's no longer a priority for them!
[Anyway, as long as we can wear down the Demon God, that's fine.] (End of Chapter)
