Chapter 704: Chapter 363: The Metamorphosis of the Dragon Elephant, Assaulting the Demon Nest_2
“Junior Brother Lu, be careful not to damage it too much,” Jin Jikang said, shocked by the power Lu Yun displayed, speaking in as negotiative a tone as possible.
Lu Yun smiled and said, “Senior Brother Jin, rest assured, I will control my own strength just enough to ensure it is severely injured.”
Jin Jikang nodded slightly, “Give it a proper sense of crisis, then it will lead us to the Demon Nest even faster.”
Lu Yun struck down from the sky with a palm that cleft the Void.
“Hiss!”
The Void exploded, a gigantic rift instantly torn open in the space.
Shockwaves spread out, causing the ruins for thousands of miles to rumble from the aftermath.
The terrifying blade aura fell close by, frightening Antonis so badly that his skin trembled wildly, his eyes filled with supreme terror and at the same time, inexhaustible hatred arose.
“I absolutely cannot die here!”
His wings vibrated continuously, stirring powerful magic power that raised staggering waves, crossing over ten thousand miles in an instant.
But the terrifying presence behind him drew closer with each passing moment, with casually released finger auras and blade auras containing tremendous force.
“If I can hold on for just a dozen breaths more, I will be out of danger.” Antonis’s will to survive was stronger than ever, even using the last drop of his life essence.
Three drops of life essence, if offered to Lord Harlin, would be enough to elevate him from the late stages of an Earth Demon to the peak.
But now they had all been wasted, and the hatred in his heart was beyond words.
“I’m almost there; once I get to the Demon Nest, I, Antonis, swear to avenge this enmity.”
Aiming for the Demon Nest, the horror in his eyes gradually faded, turning into endless coldness.
“Now that we’ve found the Demon Nest, you are no longer necessary!”
Lu Yun struck down from the sky with a sword, the blood-red blade aura, only a hundred meters long, yet possessing enough power to shatter the heavens and rip apart everything, slashing directly in front of Antonis’s head.
Boom crack!
Antonis’s body was split in half, the residual force tearing the ground apart as dust and smoke enveloped the area in an instant.
At the center of that smoke and dust, Antonis’s physical body reassembled, but there was not the slightest hint of joy in his eyes, only boundless terror.
“No wonder it’s a demon beast, having such terrifying regenerative abilities.” Lu Yun’s gaze was icy as he reached out with his right hand, a golden giant palm falling from the Void once again.
Crack crack!
The Void of the Longwu Continent seemed extremely fragile, quickly collapsing, and Antonis only felt as though wrapped in a terrifying force, his speed greatly restricted.
What horrified him even more was that there wasn’t just one opponent.
By now, how could he not know that they had refrained from taking his life all along just to have him lead the way?
At this point, he no longer cared about their deeper intentions; he just wanted to survive.
Even if it meant exerting all his strength, abandoning everything, he had to survive.
Demon Kingdom, burn!
Antonis, his eyes blazing with cold detachment, his heart bleeding, made a resolute and ruthless decision without any hesitation.
How precious was the Demon Kingdom, for an Earth Demon, nothing was more valuable than their Demon Kingdom.
With the Demon Kingdom intact, even the gravest injuries could be recovered from.
To burn the Demon Kingdom was almost like giving up his very foundation.
He wouldn’t have resorted to burning the Demon Kingdom if he hadn’t been driven to desperation.
Antonis’s eyes revealed madness, and he howled shrilly, “Demon Kingdom, burn!”
Boom boom boom!
The magic power boiled over as the Demon Kingdom burned completely.
Behind Antonis, a miniature Demon Kingdom materialized, complete with mountains, rivers, and earth.
Despite lacking any signs of life or stars, it was a Small World spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, the beginnings of a Demon Kingdom.
But at that moment, it began to collapse gradually, the Void within the mini Demon Kingdom imploding, the landscape shattering.
Then, the power of the burning Demon Kingdom fell upon Antonis, the Demon Flames soaring high, stirring up thousands of waves.
“What’s happening over there?”
“It seems like a Demon Kingdom is burning…”
In the distant Demon Nest, as if sensing the commotion here, one powerful Earth Demon after another appeared.
However, no sooner had they shown themselves than they faced an unprecedented attack.
“No good, the Human Race powerhouses are attacking!”
“Kill, let’s wipe out the Demon Nest in one fell swoop!”
Jin Jikang let out a loud shout, and dozens of Green Fire Palace Disciples burst out from the Void, charging into the Demon Nest.
The Demon Kingdom blazed, as Antonis slowly drew a Black Sword from his body.
The sword was of an unmatched pure black, emitting a faint cold light and endless sharpness.
The blade bore curved marks, as if it were assembled from pieces of bone.
With sword in hand, Antonis’s aura surged as if it could annihilate anything it encountered.
He slashed out with his sword, dispersing the massive golden palm in the sky, and then looked up into the Void with a cold stare fixed on Lu Yun.
“Impede my path to ascension, and it shall be an enmity as deep as the sea of blood!”
Even a rabbit, when pushed into a corner, will fight back.
What’s more, he is a demon, a demon who fears nothing.
Hum!
His sword, fueled by the burning power of the Demon Kingdom, forged from Demon Bone.
Antonis unleashed a slash from below upwards, cleaving through the sky.
A grand sword radiance burst forth, tearing apart the land, traversing the Void, and in an instant, scattering everything, launching an assault towards Lu Yun.
“Ha, a futile struggle!”
Lu Yun’s gaze was icy as his right hand, shrouded in pure golden Divine Light, swung fiercely, shattering the sword radiance to dust.
This is…
Impossible.
Unimaginable.
Antonis roared wildly within his heart, for the sword strike he cast by burning away three drops of his life essence, by igniting the power of the Demon Kingdom, had been effortlessly crushed by the other party, and all his beliefs collapsed in that instant.
“Hell Furnace!”
Lu Yun looked indifferently downward, majestic as the jailer of a prison, while inside him the Elephant roared and Divine Power surged.
A massive Furnace gradually took shape in the Void, its surface entwined with purplish-black mist, with Blazing Flames raging inside, incinerating all of Heaven and Earth. The devouring force coalesced into thousands of dragon-serpents, sweeping toward Antonis.
Antonis felt a chilling terror within, as he clearly sensed the dreadful nature of that huge Furnace, as if it could easily devour his soul and destroy his Demon Body.
No, I still have one sword strike left!
Antonis roared within his heart, one sword strike fueled by the burning Demon Kingdom, an attack exhausting all his Magic Power.
Invincible, my sword strike should be invincible in this world.
With a frenzied roar in his heart, Antonis unleashed the most splendid sword strike of his life.
However, it was to no avail.
Lu Yun’s strength was not as he had thought.
The Hell Furnace devoured everything, Refining all, and his sword strike powered by the essence of the Demon Kingdom could not destroy it. On the contrary, the heaven-shaking sword radiance was devoured within it, and the Blazing Flames burned ferociously.
Boom boom boom, endless aftershocks rippled out, and another powerful devouring force descended, sweeping toward Antonis.
“Ahh!”
Antonis let out his final scream in this life.
Immediately after, the Hell Furnace with its raging flames smelted an essence, which merged into Lu Yun’s Physical Body.
“Alas, to absorb an essence containing such horrific energy and still not complete the transformation,” Lu Yun revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes, which eventually turned into helplessness.
The energy required for the Dragon Elephant transformation far exceeded his imagination.
Lu Yun turned his gaze towards the great rift that lay across the land, emitting endless Demon qi, and one by one, Jin Jikang and the others entered it.
At this time in the Outside Realms, there were only some stray Demon Beasts, and Lu Yun.
After Refining all the encircling Demon Beasts, the progress of the Elephant Microparticles’ transformation once again accelerated, drawing increasingly closer to the completion of the Dragon Elephant transformation.
Looking again at the rift emitting endless Demon qi, Lu Yun’s gaze flashed with a sharp light.
Beyond the rift lay the Demon Nest, the stronghold of the Demon Beasts, surely filled with numerous powerful Demon Beasts. If all the Demon Beasts within the Demon Nest could be Refined, the amount of essence obtained would certainly be substantial, and by then, perhaps not just one Dragon Elephant would complete its transformation.
Lu Yun had a premonition that once a Dragon Elephant emerged from transformation, his strength would surge once again.
Hum!
Stepping through the great rift, there were no wonders as imagined; instead, after a flash of light before his eyes, his foot landed on solid ground.
After passing through the great rift, Lu Yun arrived on this land tainted by Demon qi.
Lu Yun’s eyes flickered, immediately sensing something off about this place, an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
