Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 225 At this moment, everyone was horrified! A mere mortal! To directly confront a Star Lord-level powerhouse!!!

This scene sent chills down the spine of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, catching him completely off guard!
—"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!"

He couldn't dodge in time, and thousands of sinister divine powers had already struck his physical body!

If He had not attained sainthood in His physical body and possessed a profound realm, this single, fierce attack, like a storm, would have been enough to knock a great immortal down to dust.

You should know that these three levels of imprisonment are filled with notorious and vicious demons from the Three Realms, many of whom possess divine power comparable to the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, and are by no means ordinary people!
Therefore, even with an incomparably strong physical body.

Despite the fierce attack, the Grand Marshal of the Three Realms was still covered in bloody scratches and looked disheveled.

"ah-------!!!"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was so enraged that his hair and beard stood on end!

He immediately manifested his true form and unleashed a powerful punch.

--"boom!!!!!"

The fist, carrying boundless divine power, exploded, creating a deafening sonic wave within the third level.

Some of the weaker, more ferocious beasts who couldn't dodge in time were instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist within the fist's energy.

In a single exchange, he killed dozens of ferocious beasts with a single punch!

The other demons were all greatly shocked upon seeing this.

It is said that the Heavenly King Li Jing's abilities lie entirely in his pagoda, but seeing it today, I am astonished by his own divine power!
As expected of a powerful being of Star Lord level!

Amidst the Thousand Demons, the Black Demon Lord glanced at the strange treasure below.

The treasure was still more than halfway refined.

"Damn it!! How could it be so fast!!!"

He originally thought that he would only be able to activate the other party's soul when he had refined it to the last ten percent, but the progress far exceeded his expectations!

At the same time, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King finally seized a moment of opportunity and used his divine sense to spot the towering flame.

"That is?!..."

——Buzz!!!

He simply couldn't believe his eyes: "It's that mortal boy! How is this possible? How is this possible!!!"

How...how did he sneak into this level?!
Until he caught sight of Lan'er out of the corner of his eye, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's mind was instantly filled with a thunderous roar, his fury soaring to the heavens:

"You wretch!! How dare you betray me, General!!! I'll kill you all!!!"

At this moment, how could the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King care about any heavenly rules and regulations?
This audacious mortal dares to plot against His exquisite pagoda?!

—They deserve to die!!!

—They must be killed!!!
"boom!"

He simply flicked his finger and crushed it!
A magical finger, seemingly capable of crushing heaven and earth, descended from the sky with boundless power, as if determined to grind Lu Chen and Lan'er into a bloody mist on the spot.

At that moment, Lan'er's heart stopped abruptly, and despair filled her mind: "I'm going to die! This time, I'm really going to die!!!"

--boom! ! !

The French finger, unstoppable, crashed down!
In an instant, rubble flew everywhere, and the sky and earth seemed to collapse!
The earth-shattering explosion created an unprecedentedly terrifying sonic boom that resounded throughout the third level, causing the entire pagoda to tremble violently.

--"snort!"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King withdrew his finger, his expression as gloomy as iron, yet with a hint of triumphant smirk.

How dare you covet His most precious treasure?

Even if such a mortal were killed, Heaven would likely not hold it against him.

However, when His divine sense swept over it, His expression changed drastically once again.

"What about people?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Chen and Lan'er standing safely not far away—with the Black Demon Lord standing in front of them.

"Oh it's you!"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King suddenly realized: before that finger fell, the demon must have used the [Path-Clearing] supernatural power to transfer people.

"My Lord, please focus on refining it. We will protect you!"

The Black Demon Lord coldly stared at the image of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Lu Chen nodded emphatically: "Then I'll leave it to you, senior!"

"Obligated!"

The Black Demon Lord nodded, and then his demonic voice echoed throughout the third floor: "Brothers, whether we can escape this tower depends entirely on this day! If we don't fight to the death now, when will we ever get another chance?!"

The demonic sound has not yet faded—

"Ow!!!"

The stone spirit roared and pounded its chest with both fists, launching the first attack.

His body suddenly grew a thousand feet, and his body surface was like cast iron. Although it was not as majestic as the image of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, it was not far off.

He suddenly threw a punch, and the mysterious light surged!

In the next instant, four divine lights emanated from the body of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and four heavy punches shattered space and slammed down.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, confident in his physical strength, neither dodged nor evaded until the stone-like fist struck his body.

A sharp pain shot straight to my brain!
In pain, it was actually knocked back two steps by a punch from the stone spirit!

"Hiss! What a terrifying body!!!"

The stone spirit looked completely bewildered.

This punch was his full-force killing move, yet it only managed to shake his opponent by two steps.

"You're all asking for death!!! You're all asking for death!!!"

The Heavenly King Li Jing, in pain, roared like thunder and slammed his fist into the ground.

Instantly, the third floor cracked open like a spider web, and countless golden rays burst forth from the cracks.

Any demon that touched this golden light was struck as if by a heavy blow, screaming in agony.

——Ah!!!

The stone spirit was the first to be attacked and could not avoid it at all.

His body shattered inch by inch, and with a single punch, he was blasted back to his original form, crashing heavily to the ground, howling in agony.

"Brother, that old man who holds the pagoda is too fierce!"

The Black Fiend Demon Lord's face was ashen, and his demonic voice echoed once more, almost a furious roar: "If we don't act now, we will all be annihilated by Him today!!!"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Demons, who had been intimidated by the divine power, were now filled with murderous intent!
—"Roar!"

——“Bah!”

--"roar!"

—Moo!

--"just!!!"

Hundreds of violent roars erupted simultaneously.

The red bird was the first to spew out a raging sea of ​​demonic flames, erecting a crimson-black sea of ​​fire in front of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. Within that sea of ​​fire, it seemed as if a million fierce and eerie creatures were floating and wailing, creating an extremely bizarre scene.

Immediately afterwards, all sorts of strangulation techniques swept over the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King like a tidal wave.

In an instant, His legs were bound and His hands were tied.

One mountain demon even transformed into a giant mountain on the spot and smashed it down on the head of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!

If it were any other deity, this attack would have either killed them or left them critically injured.

But when it hit the head of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, it only made him see stars, his vision went white, and his movements slowed down slightly. On the contrary, the giant mountain formed by the stone demon was instantly blasted into countless pieces of rock.

The stone demon himself was so shocked that his soul was scattered and he died on the spot.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the demons were terrified.

I never imagined that this method of achieving sainthood through physical means would be so terrifying.

The key point is that many demons know that the physical cultivation method of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is not top-notch, yet it already has such power.

How powerful must that top-tier method of achieving physical sainthood be?!

Lu Chen caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was also filled with a storm of emotions:
"The physical body has become so powerful! There's no need for him to make a move; the sheer force of his physical body's rebound is enough to kill his opponent!"

The thought that this is the path I will take in the future is very gratifying.

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and pushed himself to the limit!
"We can't die! We absolutely can't die here!"

The Samadhi True Fire surged once more!

The refining speed of the Soul-Suppressing Lotus of Fixed Destiny increased dramatically, and countless brilliant points of light scattered like stars across the sky!

Seeing that Baolian had been refined to this extent, the eyes of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was surrounded by a thousand demons, flashed with divine light, as if he was gathering all his strength!
"Die!!!!!"

He roared like thunder, and a dazzling golden light rippled outwards from him!

——Bang bang bang bang!
Nearly a hundred more ferocious beasts were instantly blasted into a bloody mist by the golden light!
Even the crimson sea of ​​fire was completely destroyed.

Upon seeing this, the Black Demon Lord's face darkened considerably.

Unexpectedly, even the demons on the entire third floor couldn't trap the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!
"Your Majesty, I must take action personally. Please hurry!"

A beam of mysterious light emanated from the Black Fiend Demon Lord's body, condensing into a profound rune that hovered above Lu Chen's head.

"This technique can protect you two from the residual effects and can also help you escape three times on its own."

If it still cannot be refined successfully after three attempts, then even I am helpless.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Hurry! Time waits for no one!"

Before he finished speaking, the Black Demon Lord's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression, his body surging with mysterious light and his demonic energy reaching the heavens.

In the next instant, He had already fled a hundred miles away, revealing His true form in mid-air.

The demonic insect's form was comparable to that of the Heavenly King Li Jing (the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King).

Its carapace is like ancient black iron, and its dozens of claws are as sharp as unparalleled swift knives.

Before it even landed, all its claws were swung out, unleashing hundreds of sharp blades that slashed fiercely at the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!

——Bang bang bang bang!
The sound of metal clashing was deafening, yet the blade's edge struck the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King without leaving a single mark.

"Hmph, you think you can hurt me with such paltry tricks?"

Facing the blade's edge, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King stepped forward, his expression disdainful.

Unexpectedly, the Black Demon Lord suddenly burst into laughter: "Is that so?!"

A sudden sense of foreboding arose in the heart of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King—

——Pfft!
His chest suddenly exploded with a spray of divine blood!

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King looked down in disbelief, only to see that the spot where he had just been slashed was now covered in a large patch of deep purple.

"This is... demonic poison?!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's pupils shrank, his expression a mixture of shock and rage: "You actually used the [Path-Clearing] divine power to break through my physical defenses and secretly inject demonic poison?"

The Black Demon Lord laughed wildly: "That's right! Old man Li Ting, do you really think that I have no other way but the Path-Opening Divine Power?"
This demonic poison is the essence of my demonic arts!
"If your Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda hadn't been so powerful that day, directly subduing me, I might not have been unable to escape in a one-on-one fight!"

"You!!!" The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King realized he had underestimated his opponent, and his anger intensified, but he also vaguely felt his internal energy and blood beginning to become disordered.

—The toxin has taken effect!

Seeing that the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had been successfully held back, Lu Chen, looking at the still "slow" refining progress, gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, let's give it a try! Now!"

In an instant, the bad luck, resembling a gray mist, stealthily crept forward under the cover of the Samadhi True Fire, rapidly attacking the treasure and merging into it in a flash.

—Sizzle!

To Lu Chen's utter surprise, the moment the bad luck entered, the entire Fortune-Stabilizing Lotus reacted like boiling oil dripping water, its refining speed suddenly increasing twofold!

Even the flames of the Samadhi True Fire inexplicably surged.

From a distance, it looked as if Lu Chen had simply increased his firepower with all his might, and no one could detect the hidden secrets behind it.

At this moment, both the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and the Black Fiend Demon Lord felt a chill in their hearts, while the Thousand Demons were overjoyed!
"You little brat, you're asking for it!!"

"Stop Him! We must not let Him get close!" the Black Demon Lord roared fiercely.

Qianmo Dun, like a madman, fearlessly stepped forward to block the path of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was overwhelmed and was actually suppressed by the Thousand Demons, unable to make any progress.

……

Outside the Linglong Tower, the situation was also extremely tense.

Jinzha and Muzha unleashed all their magical treasures, fiercely protecting the tower.

The Plague God was about to act, but was coldly stopped by the Emperor of Fengdu:
"It's no use. Without the order of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, none of us can enter this pagoda."

"That's right, this is all we can do."

The Kitchen God nodded in agreement, but his heart was filled with despair: "Even if we wanted to destroy this innate treasure now, it would be too late."

The hearts of all the immortals sank.

Unexpectedly, they still failed at the last moment.

With the Heavenly King Li Jing personally entering the tower, and Lu Chen being merely a mortal, his fate was predictable.

“Brother…” Jun Caishen slumped down, his eyes filled with despair.

On the opposite side, Jinzha and Muzha exchanged a glance and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party's scheme ultimately failed.

Now that my father has entered the tower, there can only be one outcome!
But just as the corners of their mouths were beginning to turn up slightly.

——Boom! ! !

The Linglong Tower suddenly shook violently again, this time the tremor was several times more intense than before!
The entire tower radiated divine light and floated up, swaying from side to side.

"This is!!!"

All the immortals were dumbfounded.

Even the Emperor of Fengdu showed an unprecedented look of astonishment:
"They've started fighting inside the tower? There's still a chance of something going wrong!"

——Buzz!!!

The immortals stood there, stunned.

How could a mere mortal boy face off against a powerful star lord?

How can we expect them to believe this?

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, only one pair of divine eyes shone brightly, eager to make a move!

The divine light in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a fierce and demonic aura, like a thousand horses galloping.

For every bit of divinity that faded, the demonic energy surged by an inch.

Like ink staining rice paper, it engulfed the entire pair of pupils.

It seems they are making some kind of desperate, all-or-nothing preparation...
