Chapter 415 An Irresistible Opponent

"Three treasures of the Eight Treasures, and five fragments of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation."

Yu Zhun assessed the full extent of the Killing Gods' resources, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "Even with all this, they still can't make them take action?"

"The demons behind that Floating Pagoda Demon Clan are really patient."

“Indeed,” Helmod said in a deep voice. “I believe that since they have already set their sights on us, they must have some understanding of our strength.”

"Under these circumstances, the fact that they still watch us grow stronger without making a move shows that our current strength is still within their control." Helmod's expression darkened as he said this.

Their current strength is enough to instantly kill the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons.

The other party wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

Just how strong are the demons on the eleventh level of this Netherworld?

Yu Zhun tapped the armrest of his chair lightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Since they are not taking action, then we will continue our actions."

After annihilating the Serpent Soul Demon Clan and acquiring a group of followers, the Killing God Clan has not made any other moves recently. Instead, they have focused on refining the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation and waiting to see if the Floating Pagoda Demon Clan would make any moves.

With the fusion of the five fragments, the maximum number of people in the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation has now increased to five hundred, and their strength in all aspects has improved significantly compared to before.

Now that the adjustment period is over, the Floating Demon Clan remains inactive, and Yu Zhun has no intention of waiting any longer.

Regardless of whether it played right into their hands, he planned to take action against the remaining four of the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons.

With a thought, Yu Zhun used his fragment sensing ability to remotely pinpoint the direction of the "body" fragment and cast a long, lingering gaze in that direction.

"I'd like to see how long you can hold out."
-
Meanwhile, in another location on the tenth level of the Netherworld.

A magnificent, towering tower hovers in the air. At the top of the tower, a man clad in armor stands with his hands behind his back, calmly gazing into the distance. His flowing black hair dances wildly in the wind, making his aura even more domineering.

If Yu Zhun were here, he would be surprised to recognize that this person was the black-haired man who controlled the fragments of "body".

Behind him, a towering man maintained a slightly bowed posture, making himself slightly shorter than the black-haired man.

If others were to witness this scene, they would surely be horrified.

Because this person was Adam, the leader of the Floating Heaven Demon Clan.

As the leader of the strongest faction among the Eight Directions Heavenly Demons, he was already the most powerful person in the entire tenth level, yet someone could make him so subservient.

“Lord Mo Wu,” Adam said in a deep voice, “the Killing Gods seem to have gained considerable influence.”

"Whether it's the Momentary Dark Blade or the Frostblood Serpent Soul, both are extremely difficult treasures to deal with. Combining the two will make them even more effective."

"Not to mention that the Killing Gods also possess the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors."

"Although the Soul-Severing Dragon Scissors are half-crippled, they should not be underestimated."

"As for the fragments of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, according to the information we have gathered, the God of Slaughter has also collected the other five fragments."

"Shouldn't we make a move?"

As Adam finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, Mo Wu slowly turned around and looked at Adam.

"hold on."

"Although the God of Slaughter is powerful, everything is still under control."

"Don't you want to acquire more treasures?"

"But..." Adam hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

No amount of treasures can compare to the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation.

Once you obtain the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, how many treasures can't you get?

If the God of Slaughter continues to grow stronger, the cooked duck might fly away!
Seeing Adam's thoughts, Mo Wu also felt a sense of helplessness deep in his eyes.

How could he not know that?

But his men can't come yet!
At this moment, a major event suddenly occurred on the eleventh level of the Netherworld, which delayed his people.

If the demons can't get up, he'll be all alone. What can he do to wipe out the Heavenly Demons?
Therefore, the only option was to use words to stall Adam.

We'll deal with the rest when his men arrive.

However, it's not entirely without good news.

According to the information coming from below, the matter was quickly resolved.

That will be the death knell for the Godslayers!
"The Godslayers!!!"

A low roar filled with boundless rage resounded through the heavens and earth. A true demon, whose body blotted out the sky, rose from the ground and looked down at the figure below, whose body was a hundred times smaller than his own. Yet, deep in his eyes, fear flickered.

“We, the Ghostly Demons, have never been your enemies, yet you have taken the initiative to attack us. Do you truly intend to be an enemy of all the Eight Directions Demons?”

"Look at what you're saying." Yu Zhun, who was controlling the God of Slaughter demons, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "I never said I had to annihilate you all."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Enra, the leader of the Ghostly Demon Clan, paused slightly, a hint of hope in her eyes.

"Then why did you set up the formation?"

"I'll borrow your Undying Ghost Robe for a bit." Yu Zhun casually gestured with his hand. "Hand it over, and I'll leave."

The air suddenly became still.

Enla's face darkened again. "You...you're playing me?"

What is the Undying Ghost Robe?
That is one of the Eight Treasures, the source of the Netherworld Demon Clan's dominance on the tenth level of the Netherworld, and their status as one of the Eight Directions Demons alongside the other seven demons. It is a treasure that can cause the formation's power to surge once again.

Without the Undying Ghost Robe, the Ghost Robe Heavenly Demon Clan would probably be completely wiped out by their former enemies in a very short time!

It's better to let Enra die than to make him hand over the Undying Robe!
"If that's the case, then go die!"

With a low shout, Enla controlled the True Demons of the Ghost Robe Heavenly Demons to attack the Killing God Heavenly Demons without hesitation. Every corner of its huge body was covered with ancient runes, which were none other than the treasured Undying Ghost Robe.

“Sigh, I gave you a chance but you didn’t take it.” Yu Zhun shook his head slightly.

He truly hadn't expected to attack the Ghostly Demon Clan in front of him; in fact, his original target was the Bloodthirsty Demon Clan, whose reputation was even worse.

Who knew that before even encountering the latter, a series of coincidences led to the first one. Now that they'd already met, how could they resist robbing him?

The saying "a thief never leaves empty-handed" applies equally to Yu Zhun.

However, he could understand it.

Unless faced with a true life-or-death situation, who would willingly hand over their most precious possession in exchange for survival?
Just look at the Demon Lord Mo Lian and you'll know.

"In that case, may you rest in peace."

With a soft sigh, Yu Zhun controlled the Heavenly Demons of the God of Slaughter, and the dark blade in his hand instantly transformed into a deep and deathly black.

The Undying Ghost Robe of the Ghostly Demon Clan is known as the strongest protective treasure among the Eight Treasures. When this treasure is unfolded, it can form a layer of indestructible runes on the body of a true demon. Each rune can negate a large amount of damage. Only when all the runes are destroyed will the true demon's body be injured.

This treasure contains hundreds of millions of runes when unfolded, making it virtually impossible to break through with equal strength.

This kind of protection is much stronger than the protection of the Frostblood Serpent Soul.

But what Yu Zhun fears least is precisely this kind of ability.

After all, he doesn't need to inflict damage on his opponents.

All he needs to do is hit his opponent.

Even using the ultimate move, the Momentary Dark Blade, is considered giving the opponent some face.

"Whoosh-"

With an astonishing speed that is difficult to detect with the naked eye and senses, the Demon Gods of Slaughter launched the first attack, fiercely thrusting their hidden blades at their opponents.

"Want me a tickle?" Enra scoffed, her eyes full of disdain.

He knew about the abilities of the Instantaneous Dark Blade.

But he wasn't afraid. Among the Eight Heavenly Demons, the ones he feared least were the Dark Blade Heavenly Demons.

So what if the opponent attacks fast? The Undying Ghost Robe can easily block hundreds or thousands of attacks from the opponent, and the Ghost Robe Heavenly Demon Clan only needs to seize one opportunity to trap the opponent to completely defeat them.

Now, the Killing Gods and Heavenly Demons wielding the Momentary Dark Blade are not much different from the Dark Blade Heavenly Demons in his eyes.

"If it's the Frost Serpent Soul, I'll be more wary," Enla said in a low voice, while simultaneously controlling the True Demon's hand to press down.

However, the true demon's actions were over before they even began.

As Yu Zhun's blade pierced the True Demon's body, all the runes shattered simultaneously, and the True Demon's body disintegrated instantly.

Countless figures were instantly ejected from the True Demon's body.

“You…” Enla coughed up a mouthful of blood and was thrown to the ground like a rag doll, but she didn’t care at all about the severe injury she was suffering from the backlash of the formation. Instead, she looked at Yu Zhun with an extremely incredulous expression.

How can it be?

How could the opponent shatter all the runes in an instant?

How could such immense power exist on the tenth floor?!
"See, I already told you." Yu Zhun shook his head and ended Enla's life with a single stroke. "I gave you a chance."

As Enra turned to ashes and vanished, only a semi-transparent veil remained in the arena, upon which were boundless inscriptions.

The Undying Ghost Robe!

A hint of excitement flashed deep in Yu Zhun's eyes.

Although he could control this treasure, wearing it made him even more powerful when dealing with others.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun reached out and grabbed it without hesitation.

At that moment, a demonic aura spread rapidly towards the area. Under this terrifying demonic aura, the other members of the Ghostly Demon Clan who had already fainted were crushed into ashes without uttering a sound.

The demonic power, undiminished, descended upon the God of Slaughter.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed deep in Yu Zhun's eyes.

Finally, you couldn't hold back any longer, could you?
He thought the other party was very capable, but he didn't expect them to make a move without hesitation.

Of course, it's also possible that the incredible protective power of the Undying Nether Robe made them extremely wary, and they dared not continue to let the God of Slaughter grow stronger.

But no matter what...

Yu Zhun, controlling the still-slaughtering Heavenly Demons of the God of Slaughter, looked up at the True Demon that had instantly appeared in the void, a sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.

The decisive battle begins now.

Whether the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation can be assembled, and whether one can control the complete Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, depends on the outcome of this battle.

"State your name." Yu Zhun controlled the Killing Gods and Heavenly Demons, wiping the blade of the Instant Dark Blade as if wiping away previous bloodstains.

Dense array of runes spread across the Heavenly Demon's body at a visible speed, while at the same time a giant serpent exuding chilling aura roared and coiled around the Heavenly Demon's body.

"I, Yu Zhun, never kill nameless people."

"Dark Slaughter Heavenly Demon Clan, Mo Wu." Mo Wu spoke coldly, "The Heavenly Demon Battle Formation is not something an ant like you can possess."

"Hand it over honestly, and I'll allow you to leave with the treasure."

"With three and a half treasures in hand, you can roam freely on the tenth floor."

"But if you remain stubborn, today will be your death day."

"You're a smart person, make your own choice."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun fell silent.

So familiar.

He had just given the Ghostly Demons a similar option.

Now, the other party is actually letting him choose.

but…

The two times were completely different.

He allowed the demons in the dark robes to choose because he was kind.

The guy named Mo Wu let him choose because he was afraid.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhun grinned.

"I'd like to see what you can do to me."

The moment he finished speaking, Yu Zhun flashed forward and charged towards the true demons of the Dark Slaughter Heavenly Demon Clan.

"Stubborn fool!" Mo Wu roared in a low voice, controlling the True Demon to attack instantly. A scythe that blotted out the sky locked onto Yu Zhun in an instant.

Yu Zhun felt as if his body was sinking into a quagmire, completely unable to move, and could only let the scythe cut him in half.

Clearly, this must be a treasure of the Eight Treasures level.

In the critical moment, he could only raise his hand with difficulty to lift the Instant Dark Blade.

"boom!!!"

A violent roar suddenly resounded, and the bodies of the God of Slaughter and the Heavenly Demons were instantly sent flying backward. Runes shattered rapidly, and in just a moment, nearly 10% of the hundreds of millions of runes had been destroyed.

Yu Zhun suddenly raised his head, looking at his opponent with some surprise.

How can he be... so strong?

The Demon Gods of Slaughter have now activated five fragments of the Demon Battle Formation and received the blessing of three treasures, making them capable of easily annihilating the true demons of the Myriad Demons.

But when faced with his opponent, he was actually defeated head-on!
Looking at the other party's enormous body, Yu Zhun's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The opponent's true demon body is different from that of an ordinary true demon body; it is more solid and also more powerful.

That feeling was as if I had flesh and blood, like a demon.

However, the feeling of flesh and blood was not as obvious as that of the Heavenly Demon.

This is…

Upon considering a certain possibility, Yu Zhun's heart skipped a beat.

"Have you figured it out already?"

The Dark Demon Kings, the true demons, walked step by step toward the God of Slaughter demons. Mo Wu's deep voice resounded, carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Although you possess five fragments, you know nothing about the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation, and your limited knowledge restricts your performance."

"Therefore, from beginning to end, you have never been a worthy opponent."

"I see." Yu Zhun looked enlightened. "The number of people in the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation is very low, but the summoned Heavenly Demons can also be combined with the Demon Descent Battle Formation, making the Demon Descent Battle Formation even stronger."

"In such a demonic battle formation, the summoned true demons can also become stronger by absorbing the power of the heavenly demons because there are heavenly demons inside the formation."

"To use the Heavenly Demon as the heart of the True Demon...?"

Yu Zhun has always regarded the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation as an independent entity, even dividing it into two with the Thousand Demons of the God-Slaying Clan.

But now, Mo Wu's appearance has shown him a new path.

This path showed Yu Zhun the possibility of the Heavenly Demon Battle Formation becoming even stronger after it was completed.

"Since you've figured it out, then you might as well accept your death," Mo Wu said coldly. "If you won't listen to reason, then you'll have to drink the penalty cup—die!"

"No!" Yu Zhun suddenly raised his head, a fierce fire flashing deep in his eyes. "I will carry the complete Heavenly Demon Battle Formation all the way!"

"Helmod, make your move!"

As he finished speaking, a holy fire soared into the sky and engulfed the true demon.
