An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 331 The Heavenly Kings

"court death!"

Seeing that the Sun King showed him no respect, the extraterrestrial demon was enraged. In an instant, its body was covered with jet-black scales, a long tail grew from its back, and a long horn with ten rings engraved on its head appeared on its head. This was clearly its true battle form!
With a single swipe of its claw, the entire structure of the space seemed to be altered. One of the sun-wheel spears mysteriously vanished into thin air, while the remaining two, like missiles whose signals had been jammed, streaked past the two sides of the extraterrestrial demon.

But before the extraterrestrial demon could even feel smug, a dazzling burst of sunlight suddenly erupted from its side! Under that light, the distorted space returned to normal as if an illusion had been shattered, and the Sun Wheel Spear, which had been disturbed and flown far away, turned around and attacked again in mid-air!
The extraterrestrial demon roared in shock and anger, swinging its claws to deflect the two sun-wheel spears, but its own claws were also stained with two obvious burn marks!

But that wasn't all! Suddenly, the space fluctuated, and the Sun Wheel Spear, which had been swallowed by the spatial rift, suddenly reappeared less than three meters away from the extraterrestrial demon!

The extraterrestrial demon was caught off guard and suffered a massive gash in its abdomen. At the same time, the Sun Wheel Spear exploded into golden flames the instant it struck the demon, like a golden firebird, burning along the wound!

The demon from beyond the realm showed a pained expression, and a large amount of death energy surged out, barely suppressing the flames, but it could not completely eliminate them!
Chu Xiu realized that this golden flame was just like his own sinful fire, capable of feeding on the life energy of the other party, only it was far more vast and mysterious than the sinful fire!
"Whizzing!"

The two sun-wheel spears flew back to the sun wheel behind the Sun King, and the flames, which had dimmed after the fierce battle with the extraterrestrial demons, were immediately replenished and became dazzling again.

The Sun King revealed a mocking smile, made an eight gesture with his hand, and then suddenly turned downwards!

This caused the extraterrestrial demon to reveal an uncontrollable rage. The other party's meaning was clear: one Sun Wheel Spear had injured it, and there were still eight Sun Wheel Spears left to deal with it!

"Human, perhaps my considerations have led you to misunderstand my strength."

"Do you really think that just because I've left this planet, you have the right to challenge the majesty of the gods?"

The extraterrestrial demon's expression was extremely gloomy, and an even denser death aura surged from its body, while its form was also rapidly changing!

Its originally slender body, only two meters long, grew taller and stronger at a visible speed, and its fine scales transformed into thick armor covered with sharp spikes!
In the blink of an eye, the extraterrestrial demon had completely transformed into the appearance of a horned demon, except that its seven-meter-tall body was far larger than any other horned demon! And the long horns on its head had gained another layer of patterns, becoming as many as eleven rings!
Its aura had increased dramatically compared to before, and the terrifying pressure made Chu Xiu, who had already retreated thousands of meters away, feel breathless!

He now realized that the extraterrestrial demons were far stronger than he had imagined!

In its most basic human form, it can catch his full-force attack with one hand and shatter the Infernal Corpse with a single punch! And when facing the Sun King, its battle form not only shows a further enhancement in physique, but also the provision of a massive amount of magic power from a ten-ringed horn!

Keep in mind that even a demigod warrior only has nine rings of horns!
And now, the extraterrestrial demon actually has a third stage! A fully-fledged combat body, and horns with eleven rings!

Chu Xiu's divine sense hadn't even gotten close when he felt as if it were about to be burned by the terrifying power contained within those eleven-ringed horns! He simply couldn't imagine how powerful the extraterrestrial demon had become at this moment!
At this moment, Chu Xiu couldn't help but think of what Astrid, the attendant of the Blood Pool, had said to him in the Corpse Demon World. At that time, Astrid said that Chu Xiu had no idea how difficult the path to becoming a god was. Now Chu Xiu finally understood it a little.

"So, how far has the Sun King come on this path? Can he rival the extraterrestrial demons?"

Not only him, but almost everyone looked at the field with worry.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Sun King, who was directly facing the pressure of the extraterrestrial demons, showed no fear on his face. Instead, his usually calm golden eyes revealed an excited expression.

"Finally, I can get some exercise!"

She stretched out her right hand, and a Nichirin Spear appeared in her hand behind her. The moment the Sun King grasped it, the Nichirin Spear seemed to receive the power of the goddess, bursting out with an even more intense radiance!

At the same time, a golden suit of armor materialized on the Sun Queen's body, and a round shield inlaid with seven-colored gems appeared in her left hand, making her look like a war god descending from Mount Olympus!

These two newly appeared pieces of equipment are both [Mythic]! And they're even demigod-level [Mythic] items!
Like an empress donning the most magnificent armor, she soared into the air! Without fear, she charged into the dark clouds formed by the deathly aura that housed the extraterrestrial demons!

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed in mid-air, making it impossible for Chu Xiu to see the specific details of the battle. He couldn't even get close with his divine sense, otherwise he would have been injured by the massive, surging energy.

All he could see in the sky was a mixture of deathly aura and radiant light, with terrifying energy fluctuations erupting as if nuclear bombs were detonating in the sky every moment!
Even when fighting thousands of meters above the ground, the energy rays projected from the sky can easily incinerate people, and wave after wave of superheated storms sweep along the ground, forcing everyone to retreat.

At this point, there were no more horned demons and humans fighting. Both sides tacitly retreated to the sides, leaving the center of the arena for the two supreme warriors to fight.

Chu Xiu and Chen Yuan retreated to a high-rise building inside the human defense line, where most of the demigods and heroic spirits had gathered.

Can the Sun King win?

Even though everyone present was a demigod, they couldn't predict the outcome of this battle. The extraterrestrial demons were too powerful, and the Heavenly Kings had gone much further down this path than the other demigods.

"It definitely can!" Chen Yuan nodded emphatically.

But many more people looked worried.

"It would be great if another Heavenly King could come," someone suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up, and many people looked at Huang Anhua:
"Director Huang, didn't you say before that a Heavenly King had already arrived outside the Black Death Prison?"

"The rules of the Black Death Prison have been broken by the Sun King, and it looks like it will collapse completely soon. At that time, reinforcements from the outside world will be able to enter, right?"

Huang Anhua remained silent in the face of everyone's questions.

Apart from Chen Yuan, everyone present was exceptionally intelligent and naturally understood the subtext of their silence.

That means he didn't know either!

The rule that "kings should not meet" has been an ironclad rule that has never been broken over the years. After all, the resources of the kings are too vast, and their power is far ahead of others.

In theory, as long as one kills a Heavenly King, one can seamlessly divide his wealth and power! No one would dare to object!
If the Heavenly King doesn't come, how much help can even a lot of heroic spirits and demigods provide?

Heroic spirits probably don't even have the qualifications to step onto the battlefield. Even demigods, except for a few strong ones, can only distract the extraterrestrial demons and play a very minor supporting role!
Chu Xiu heard Jiang Lingfu sigh beside him, "Even if the Heavenly King comes, he may not show himself. At most, he will offer help from the shadows."

"If even the three kings of China could not be of one mind, how could a foreign king possibly be?"

Chu Xiu also sighed, but honestly, even if he were the Heavenly King, he might not necessarily take action, since who knows if the Sun King might suddenly turn against him.

This is Chinese territory. Even if it is seized by extraterrestrial demons, it will take a long time for the effects to spread to the West. It may even allow China to become the main force in fighting against extraterrestrial demons, thus depleting China's strength and allowing the West to seize more resources.

Imagine if China were to fall into a full-scale war, how would it compete with other countries for fragments of the world's laws?

Not to mention the immense wealth of a single Heavenly King. And this is not short-sighted, because even if Earth were destroyed, the Heavenly Kings would still have their own territories and influence in the Abyss to continue developing.

For the Heavenly Kings, Earth was merely a stable source of resources; given their strength, they would not be bound by a single planet.

The benefits gained from killing a Heavenly King are enough to compensate for, or even surpass, those gains!

As for the concepts of compatriots, nation, race, and home planet, no one knows how much importance they still hold in their hearts.

Once they reach that level, what they're thinking is beyond the comprehension of others.

Under the worried gaze of everyone, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth in the sky!

This energy fluctuation was far more intense than any before. The firestorm generated by the explosion still made Chu Xiu feel a jolt and his skin burn even when it traveled several kilometers away.

The impact was enough to easily overturn a truck, and the dust in the storm reached temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius!
This shocked Chu Xiu once again.

Such a strong fluctuation completely dispelled the deathly aura in the sky, allowing everyone to see the battle clearly.

The Sun King stood in mid-air, the sun wheel behind him still dazzling, but only two of the sun wheel spears remained. The extraterrestrial demon opposite him had large pieces of his armor shattered, and dark red blood was even seeping out from the gaps!
This scene caused cheers from the spectators, whether they were high-ranking heroic spirits or low-ranking awakened beings, and their faces couldn't help but show joy!

Won!

But in the next second, the Sun King suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

The crimson blood stained the armor, standing out starkly, instantly silencing the cheering crowd.

Meanwhile, a large amount of death energy emanated from the Black Death Pillar and flowed into the body of the extraterrestrial demon. Nourished by the death energy, both its injured body and broken armor were rapidly repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Only then did everyone realize that at the bottom of the Black Death Pillar, a large number of huge winches, spinning rapidly like meat grinders, had appeared out of nowhere. One by one, the horned demons seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, walking into the winches like puppets, their bodies instantly shredded by the enormous force.

The flesh and blood of these horned demons were absorbed by the Black Death Pillar, eventually transforming into pure death energy! This replenished the energy lost by the extraterrestrial demons!

This scene immediately alarmed Chen Yuan: "Let's go help!"

Although most of the group was in poor condition and did not want to fight the Horned Demon again, they knew that if the Sun King was defeated, death would be the only outcome for them. They had to destroy the Black Death Pillar. However, the group was stopped by Green Princess as they were about to take action.

"it's useless."

"The extraterrestrial demon has used itself as a bridge to transform the area within the Black Death Pillar into a complete 'dead domain'."

"This dead zone, formed by special means, is a powerful domain even though it cannot gain the power to connect to planets."

"With our strength, charging into the domain of an extraterrestrial demon will only lead to our demise."

Green Fairy's words silenced everyone, and Chu Xiu understood as well. Just like his Sinful Fire Domain, even if a large number of low-level creatures rushed in, they would only become nourishment for the Sinful Fire, thus strengthening the power of the Purgatory Demon Corpse.

This dead zone should have a similar effect. To help, one would need at least a demigod, but both sides have demigods! Under these circumstances, it's impossible to destroy such a massive black death pillar! On the contrary, there's a huge risk of self-destruction!

"Are we just supposed to watch helplessly?" someone asked, unwilling to accept the situation.

"No need to rush," Green Princess's voice rang out.

For some reason, Chu Xiu felt that there was no worry in her voice. Instead, she had regained the languidness she had shown when they first met. Chu Xiu even had the illusion that the beautiful face under the black veil was actually smiling.

"Let's just wait and see."

Just as Green Princess finished speaking, the earth suddenly began to shake violently. Before everyone could figure out what was happening, the ground near the Black Death Pillar began to sink!
"Boom!"

Amidst the violent tremors, in just a few breaths, the entire ground vanished, revealing a bottomless crater over ten kilometers in diameter! Eight solitary black death pillars stood in this crater, as if a black hole had suddenly appeared underground, swallowing up the entire vast area of ​​land!
The instant the strata disappeared, Chu Xiu felt an incredibly powerful aura surging up from the depths of the earth!
The level of that aura wasn't very high, but the total amount of energy was unbelievably large, far exceeding any creature Chu Xiu had ever seen. Even the extraterrestrial demons and the Sun King, in terms of total energy alone, were far inferior to that life form underground!
Chu Xiu probed with his divine sense, and the next moment, a look of shock appeared on his face.

It was a gigantic creature that defied description. Even when Chu Xiu extended his divine sense to its limit, he still could not detect its full appearance, nor could he even guess its approximate shape!

The reason why the ground within a radius of ten miles collapsed was simply because that creature opened its mouth!

That's right, the entire area within a radius of ten miles, including those eight black death pillars, is now inside the mouth of that giant creature!

"It's the Star-Devouring Beast of the Immortal King!"

Someone on a high-rise building recognized the origin of this monster!
The moment he finished speaking, the giant beast’s maw snapped shut. To everyone’s astonishment, the eight black death pillars, each over a thousand meters thick and so strong that even attacks from heroic spirits could not easily shake, were bitten off in half as easily as fragile toothpicks!
"Boom!"

The eight black death pillars groaned under the immense gravity as they were chewed up by the constantly opening and closing maw, and continuously devoured into the body of the star-devouring behemoth.

Moreover, the giant maw seemed to possess some kind of irresistible gravitational pull, causing even the numerous horned demons beside the Black Death Pillar to suddenly lose their ability to fly, screaming as they fell into the mouth of the Star-Devouring Beast.

This astonishing scene shocked everyone, even the demigods, while the extraterrestrial demon in the air looked extremely ugly!

The moment the Black Death Prison collapsed, its domain was destroyed. Not only did it lose the support of its domain, it also could no longer consume the Horned Demon to obtain death energy for continuous combat!
In this situation, it can no longer gain any advantage in its battle against the Sun King!
Moreover, even a fool could see that there was another Heavenly King lurking in the shadows, watching with predatory intent!
But if we let it leave now...
He is not willing!

Not only were the precious Black Death Pillars shredded like snacks, but tens of thousands of horned demons also perished!
Going back like this would be a huge loss!
But after weighing the options for a long time, it finally gritted its teeth, its snake-like vertical pupils filled with resentment: "I've lost this time. Next time we meet, I will make you lowly creatures pay a thousandfold price!"

Having said that, the extraterrestrial demon acted decisively, leading the remaining horned demons towards the abyss rift in the sky.

But before it had flown very far, it seemed to see something and suddenly stopped!

In the very center of the abyss rift, a tall human figure had somehow appeared, floating suspended in mid-air.

He was an elderly man with white hair, but he showed no signs of aging. His spine was straight, and he was nearly two meters tall. His well-fitting suit perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and back. His long, slightly messy hair, which he hadn't styled, was draped over his shoulders, making him look like a tall and mighty lion!

The extraterrestrial demon stared intently at the old man, its狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face trembling slightly with rage:
"King of Slaughter, you are truly patient."
