King of Creation Chapter 2172 - 2157: Demon Master’s Methods

The cultivation of that Late Dao Realm Demon Clan Inspector was almost like the collapse of a mighty river, utterly devoured by the Little Demon and poured into the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

When combined with the devoured power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, the usually slow-dissolving Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl was vanishing as rapidly as snow splashed with hot soup.

As the sealing barrier erodes further, the grade and nature of the sealing forces inside become increasingly formidable.

Ordinary forces, like those at the Realm King Realm, find it increasingly difficult to dissolve these sealing barriers.

Even the power of many Early Dao Realm experts that the Little Demon had previously devoured dissolved these sealing barriers at a sluggish pace.

However, the power of this Late Dao Realm Inspector was causing the sealing barrier to melt away swiftly.

In just a few breaths, the thickness of the eroded sealing barrier exceeded the total that ten Early Dao Realm experts could dissolve together.

Ye Zhen was overjoyed by this development.

At this pace, it might not be long before the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier of the Mirage Dragon Pearl could be breached.

The abilities granted by the first five stages of the spatial sealing barriers of the Mirage Dragon Pearl were each more formidable than the last, leaving Ye Zhen curious about the benefits that the Sixth Stage Spatial Sealing Barrier could provide.

However, there was little time for Ye Zhen to ponder this now.

To be honest, the current battle situation left Ye Zhen somewhat astounded.

Most of the elite of the Demon Clan had fallen, with over two-thirds of the Dao Realm levels perished, while the casualties among Ye Zhen’s top experts could be counted on one hand.

This was partly due to the Demon Clan’s self-induced chaos and the reckless protection of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

But the most remarkable factors were Big Ears Nie Ting’s flawless coordination of the Heavenly Sound Divine Ability and the insidious and venomous secret techniques displayed by the Mystical Mechanism Avatar inherited from the Ancient Demon God Yany Tu.

Big Ears’ Heavenly Sound Divine Ability created optimal opportunities for others.

No wonder the Heavenly Sound Clan was annihilated in those bygone times. Based on Big Ears’ performance today, if Ye Zhen knew, he would also have marked Big Ears Nie Ting as a target to be eliminated.

Among the fallen numerous Dao Realms present, none were directly killed by Big Ears Nie Ting, but the demise of most was directly or even fatally connected to Big Ears.

As for the vile and menacing secret techniques inherited from Yany Tu, Ye Zhen actually did not shy away.

Secret divine abilities themselves are neither righteous nor evil; the distinction lies in whether their users are righteous or evil.

Like Big Ears’ Heavenly Sound Divine Ability, it couldn’t directly slay enemies. However, many enemies, affected by the secret techniques of the Ancient Demon God inheritance displayed by the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, ultimately laid the foundation for or directly led to their deaths.

Easily facilitating the slaying of a massive number of Dao Realms by collaborating with other Dao Realms.

Thus, the question arises: How powerful must one be to point and kill the Ancient Demon God Yany Tu so effortlessly, as Ye Zhen’s master Lud Li did?

Yet, Master Lud Li still perished.

Just how strong was the existence that killed Master Lud Li?

Ye Zhen had pondered this issue when he first obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Demon God Yany Tu, but never more clearly than now did he feel such immense pressure.

With the coordination of Big Ears Nie Ting and the Mystical Mechanism Avatar, Ye Zhen didn’t even need to intervene for the Divine Guard Team’s Dao Realms to systematically slay the elite under the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

This shocked the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun immensely and gave Ye Zhen a new strategy.

Perhaps today, there might be an opportunity to capture the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun alive!

Ye Zhen wouldn’t dare risk the lives of over two hundred thousand soldiers of the North Sea Sky Wave Army by attempting to kill the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun, but capturing him alive was a different matter.

Once they captured the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun alive and handed him over, whether Prince Lik Ji Yuan accepted or took him to Luoyi to offer the prisoner, those events were later, separate matters that scarcely implicated Ye Zhen.

The Demon Clan’s attention would focus solely on how to rescue the captured Seventh Crown Prince Congyun, diverting focus away from Ye Zhen himself.

"Wear down his power from a distance, then capture the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun alive!" Ye Zhen issued the command decisively.

His order sent all members of the North Sea Sky Wave Army present into a fervor. In the Great Zhou Dynasty’s and Demon Clan’s military confrontation history, they had slain commanders of thirty-six Marching Generals level, but never captured any bloodline of the Demon Emperor.

"Capture the Seventh Crown Prince alive!"

"Capture the Seventh Crown Prince alive!"

Amidst the thunderous roars echoing through the clouds, over four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows converged on the helplessly beleaguered Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

It wasn’t until this moment that a nameless fear finally crept into the heart of the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun.

The deaths of his elite soldiers and the inspectors sent to protect him by the Demon Emperor made him feel danger for the first time.

This foreboding sense of peril felt even sharper than what he experienced in the Demon Soul Realm.

Even though he had endured the agony of being burned in the Demon Soul Realm before.

Back then, through all the pain, he still had trump cards and the confidence to escape alive.

But surrounded by over a dozen Dao Realms, a thousand Realm Kings, and four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun suddenly lost any semblance of hope for escape.

Seeing fewer than five thousand of his troops persistently struggling, the Seventh Crown Prince Congyun shuddered with a chill.

Could it be that today he is destined to fall here?

He wants to escape!

But his body felt as heavy as a million pounds at this moment, and every time he tore open a space passage, it would be accurately destroyed by Ye Zhen. There was simply no chance to escape.

However, as the pride of the One-eyed Demon Emperor lineage, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, did not disgrace his bloodline even in dire straits.

Stomping his foot and taking a deep breath, the surrounding rampaging Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi rushed into the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun’s body as if collapsing, causing his body to rapidly swell to twice its original size. The black light in his single eye shone like a small sun, radiating brilliantly.

Wherever the black light of the single eye flashed, the attacks aimed at him became incredibly slow, even the crossbow bolts from the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow were no exception.

"There has always been a One-eyed Demon Emperor bloodline that dies in battle; there’s never been a Demon Emperor bloodline that becomes a captive!"

"You dream if you think you can capture this prince!"

These two sentences, spoken by the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, were powerful and resounding, causing the remaining Demon Clan soldiers to respond hysterically.

Ye Zhen sneered, "There hasn’t been a One-eyed Demon Emperor bloodline that was captured before; it doesn’t mean there won’t be today!"

Upon hearing this, the face of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, turned ugly once more. Suddenly, a voice came from the void.

"There wasn’t before, and there won’t be today!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, trapped in a desperate situation, showed a look of joy, "Demon Master, you’ve come!"

Almost simultaneously, the Void-Slaughtering Radiance in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace slightly vibrated, sensing a spatial fluctuation in the void where someone was likely breaking through it. That should be the Demon Master mentioned by the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

Just as Ye Zhen was about to activate the Thunder Light Whip to smash the space passage, the Void-Slaughtering Radiance in Ye Zhen’s Xuan Palace suddenly jumped rapidly.

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s Void-Slaughtering Radiance sensed at least a hundred spatial fluctuations.

Each spatial fluctuation was identical, whether in power fluctuation, aura, or size.

This represents two possibilities. Someone had opened a hundred space passages simultaneously.

But this was clearly impossible; there could only be one space passage.

Thus, it became clear—someone had created a hundred spatial fluctuations simultaneously.

Ye Zhen used the Thunder Light Whip to destroy the newly established space passage, relying mainly on the speed of thunder light to succeed.

Any hesitation would mean missing the fleeting opportunity.

Not to mention that Ye Zhen couldn’t destroy a hundred space passages simultaneously; even that moment of hesitation meant Ye Zhen had already lost the chance.

As awe filled Ye Zhen’s eyes, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong suddenly emerged from the void, appearing beside the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

"Demon Master!" Seeing this, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was so delighted that he almost shouted out loud.

"Do not worry, Crown Prince!"

Just a glance at the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun’s state was enough for the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong to understand.

He casually waved his hand, and the surrounding space rippled. Ye Zhen felt a shock in his heart, his geomagnetic field could no longer penetrate where the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was.

It was as if the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was in another world.

"Crown Prince, let me send you away first!"

As he spoke, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong waved his hand, and at least ten spatial passages appeared beside the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

Then, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong stared at Ye Zhen expressionlessly, as if Ye Zhen was merely air in front of him.

Ye Zhen grew anxious, as the appearance of this Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong rendered his Void-Slaughtering Radiance useless.

"Boom!"

"Unreservedly fire the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows!" Ye Zhen roared.

Previously, the four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows had been locked onto the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, but to avoid accidentally killing him, only ten were firing at any one time, just wearing down his power.

The rest of the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows remained idle.

But now, seeing that the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was about to escape and the one known as the Demon Master was so terrifying.

In desperation, Ye Zhen directly ordered all four hundred Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbows to fire.

The ominous whistling of the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow bolts tore through the void in an instant, causing the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, who was about to escape, to worry.

"Demon Master, you..."

"Do not worry, Crown Prince, just leave first. I will join you shortly!" With a wave of his hand, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong confidently sent the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, into a spatial passage.

Seeing that the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, who was about to be captured, was escaping, Ye Zhen became unusually enraged, "Kill!"

"Attack without reservation!"

At the same moment, four hundred terrifying Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying crossbow bolts screamed from all directions towards the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong!
