178: Demon King's clone

Just as Han Fei finished summarizing the gains and losses of his previous battle, Luna Fairy Spirit's figure reappeared before him.

This time, her expression was even more serious than before, as if she was about to unveil an even greater challenge.

Her eyes revealed a deep power and wisdom, making Han Fei feel that the upcoming trial would surpass any previous battle.

"Han Fei, you have shown tremendous progress, mastering the essence of Nature Magic," Luna Fairy Spirit said slowly.

"However, truestrong not only need power and wisdom, but also the ability to maintain faith and determination when facing an absolutely powerful enemy."

"Now, I will bring you the ultimate assessment," Luna Fairy Spirit continued, her voice carrying an irresistible majesty, "This will be the strongest opponent you have faced so far—the Demon Kings Avatar."

Hearing the words "Demon King," Han Fei's heart sank.

He had heard legends of the Devil King, an existence almost invincible, possessing world-destroying power.

Even a Clone was enough to destroy an entire army.

Facing such a powerful enemy, Han Fei felt an unprecedented pressure.

"You will face one ten-thousandth of the Devil King's true power," Luna Fairy Spirit explained.

"Although it is only a Clone, it still possesses powerful destructive force.

You must do your best to fight it with the Nature Magic you have learned."

Han Fei took a deep breath, his heart tense to the extreme.

He knew this would be an unprecedentedly difficult battle and the moment for him to prove his true growth.

Luna Fairy Spirit raised her staff and softly chanted ancient and powerful incantations.

As the spells progressed, the sky grew dark again, dark clouds gathered, and lightning rolled in the clouds, as if the entire world trembled at the arrival of this battle.

Suddenly, the earth began to shake, as if some colossal creature was about to rise from underground.

Cracks spread from under Han Fei's feet, and then, a strong dark aura erupted from the cracks, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

As the dark aura surged out, a giant black shadow slowly rose from the cracks.

It was an existence taller than any creature, completely enveloped in pitch-black armor, its eyes emitting a scarlet glow that seemed to pierce one's Soul.

This was the Demon Kings Avatar, and its aura sent chills down one's spine.

Even with only one ten-thousandth of its power, it was enough to make the earth tremble and the sky dim.

Han Fei felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, an oppression that almost made him unable to breathe.

The Demon Kings Avatar's power far exceeded any enemy he had faced before, even stronger than his initial expectations.

The Demon Kings Avatar slowly raised the greatsword in his hand, its blade shimmering with dark flames, each flame carrying destructive power.

With his movement, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield became heavier, as if every molecule in the air was bearing this immense pressure.

Han Fei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He knew that in this situation, any fear or retreat would only lead to his quicker defeat.

He had to concentrate all his energy and use all the power he possessed to face this almost impossible battle.

The Demon Kings Avatar did not give Han Fei much time to think; he suddenly swung his greatsword, striking at Han Fei with immense force.

Where the blade passed, the air was torn apart, as if even space was crushed before this power.

Han Fei reacted quickly, casting Nature Magic to summon World Tree Guardians.

These giant tree-like creatures rose from the ground, attempting to form a defensive line to block the Demon Kings Avatar's attack.

However, when the Demon Kings Avatar's blade struck the trunks of the World Tree Guardians, the immense force instantly cut these tree-like creatures in half.

The trunks of the World Tree Guardians appeared so fragile before this destructive power that they had no room for resistance.

Han Fei was startled and quickly chanted a new spell, summoning Vine Spirits.

These Vine Spirits coiled around the Demon Kings Avatar like giant snakes, attempting to restrain his movements.

However, the Demon Kings Avatar simply waved his hand, and dark power instantly shattered these Vine Spirits.

All of Han Fei's efforts seemed so powerless before the Demon Kings Avatar, as if all the magic he possessed was easily dismantled.

Han Fei understood that relying solely on these conventional Nature Magic spells would not be enough to contend with the Demon Kings Avatar.

He had to find a way to use even greater power while remaining calm and wise, otherwise he would not survive this battle.

He quickly chanted a series of complex spells, summoning Flower Spirit Behemoths and Poison Ivy Demon Snakes.

The fragrance of the Flower Spirit Behemoths filled the battlefield, attempting to confuse the Demon Kings Avatar, while the Poison Ivy Demon Snakes sought an opportunity to inject deadly venom into him.

However, with just a low roar, the Demon Kings Avatar unleashed a powerful dark wave.

This wave instantly swept across the entire battlefield, completely neutralizing the attacks of the Flower Spirit Behemoths and Poison Ivy Demon Snakes.

The dark power was like an insurmountable wall, blocking all of Han Fei's offensives.

Han Fei's heart grew heavier and heavier; he had never imagined he would be so powerless in a battle.

Every attack from the Demon Kings Avatar carried world-destroying power, and almost no creature could withstand it for a moment.

Just as Han Fei felt powerless, the Demon Kings Avatar swung his greatsword again, striking at him with irresistible force.

Han Fei quickly deployed his last defensive measure—the Nature Shield.

This shield, condensed from the power of nature, surrounded him, attempting to withstand the Demon Kings Avatar's attack.

However, when the greatsword struck the Nature Shield, the shield's power only lasted for a moment before being instantly shattered.

Han Fei was sent flying by the immense impact, crashing heavily to the ground, blood spewing from his mouth.

He struggled to his feet, every part of his body screaming in pain, but his eyes remained firm.

He knew this battle was not over, and he could not give up.

Han Fei barely stood firm, concentrating his mind, and continued chanting spells.

This time, he decided to risk using the most powerful destructive magic he possessed—Meteor Storm.

The dark clouds in the sky rapidly gathered, and countless flaming meteors rained down, heading straight for the Demon Kings Avatar with world-destroying power.

Each meteor carried immense impact, erupting in fierce flames and shockwaves upon landing.

However, the Demon Kings Avatar showed extreme disdain for these meteors.

He gently swung his greatsword, and dark power acted as a barrier, completely blocking the meteors' impact.

Despite the immense power of the Meteor Storm, it seemed like a trivial trick before the Demon Kings Avatar.

Han Fei watched his most powerful magic prove useless before the Demon Kings Avatar, and his sense of powerlessness grew stronger.

He knew he had given his all, but before this absolute power, everything seemed so pale and weak.

The Demon Kings Avatar continued to approach Han Fei as if playing, raising his greatsword with the intent of complete destruction and striking at Han Fei again.

This time, Han Fei was almost too weak to react.

Just as the greatsword was about to fall, a strong will suddenly surged within Han Fei.

He could not fail like this, he could not fall before fully mastering the power of nature.

He had to keep fighting until the very last moment.

Han Fei forcibly gathered his last bit of strength; he closed his eyes, trying to sense the pulse of the earth, listening to the breath of nature.

He merged his Soul with the earth, attempting to draw the last of his power from nature.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented tranquility and power.

This power surged from deep within the earth, quickly filling his entire body.

Han Fei suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes glowing green, a manifestation of nature's power.

He quickly chanted a new spell, and a giant tree root suddenly burst from underground, blocking the Demon Kings Avatar's greatsword.

The tree root was like the arm of the earth, indestructible, firmly blocking the Demon Kings Avatar's attack.

However, Han Fei knew that this was not enough.

He had to concentrate all his power and launch his final counterattack.

He condensed all the Nature Magic into his staff, raised his hands high, and chanted nature's ultimate spell.

As the spell was completed, a giant green beam of light descended from the sky, striking the Demon Kings Avatar directly.

The light beam contained all the power of nature, carrying energy of purification and restoration, directly targeting the Demon Kings Avatar's core.

The Demon Kings Avatar trembled violently before the giant green beam of light.

A strange light flashed in his scarlet eyes, seemingly surprised by Han Fei's attack.

But only a moment later, the Demon Kings Avatar's expression turned cold again, and his entire body's dark aura began to surge, as if he was brewing even more terrifying power.

Before Han Fei's eyes, the Demon Kings Avatar's body began to tremble violently, and dark flames continuously erupted from his armor.

These flames twisted into eerie runes in the air, encircling the Demon Kings Avatar, like an impenetrable barrier.

Immediately after, those runes began to spin rapidly, eventually condensing into an even heavier armor, tightly encasing the Demon Kings Avatar's body.

This armor was thicker and more complex than the previous armor, with ancient incantations carved on its surface, shimmering with dark red light.

Every piece of armor exuded a powerful sense of oppression, as if all the dark power of the world was condensed within it.

"It seems I underestimated you," the Demon Kings Avatar's voice was low and cold, carrying an irresistible majesty.

"But now, the game is over.

I will show you my true power, so you understand how vast the difference between you and me is."

With that, the Demon Kings Avatar gripped his greatsword with both hands, his figure suddenly expanding, like a moving dark fortress, exuding endless coercion.

The ground began to crack under his power, and the elements in the air seemed to tremble for him.

Han Fei could clearly feel that this was no longer the power of the previous Clone, but a part of the true Devil King's aura Awakening.

Han Fei felt an unprecedented despair. This power far exceeded his ability to contend with; it was as if the entire world was controlled by the aura of the Demon Kings Avatar. He realized he couldn't defeat this enemy head-on, and his only option was to find an opportunity to escape.

“I must calm down and find a chance to get away,” Han Fei thought to himself. He quickly analyzed the battle situation, trying to find a path to survival.

The Demon Kings Avatar didn't give Han Fei much time to think. He suddenly swung his greatsword, bringing down a world-destroying force upon Han Fei. This time, wherever the greatsword passed, even space emitted a piercing tearing sound, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.

Han Fei immediately unleashed Nature Magic, attempting to block the Demon Kings Avatar's attack with Vine Spirits. These vines grew wildly from deep within the earth, quickly coiling around the Demon Kings Avatar's legs, trying to delay his movements.

However, with just a slight tremor from the Demon Kings Avatar, the Vine Spirits were instantly shattered by the dark power, tearing apart the earth along with them. Han Fei was knocked back by the powerful impact, almost falling. He realized that this power could not be confronted directly; he had to switch to guerrilla tactics, using Nature Magic to buy time and find an opportunity to escape.

Han Fei decided to immediately change his position. He used all his strength to summon a fierce gale, using the wind's power to quickly distance himself from the Demon Kings Avatar. At the same time, he released a large area of mist, attempting to use nature's concealment to hide his tracks.

The mist quickly enveloped the entire battlefield. Han Fei hid within it, his heart pounding, only his own breathing audible in his ears. He knew this was only temporary cover; the Demon Kings Avatar's powerful perception would eventually discover his whereabouts.

Just as he was contemplating his next move, the Demon Kings Avatar's low and mocking voice came from within the mist: “Do you think you can escape by hiding in this mist? You underestimate my control over darkness.”

As the Demon Kings Avatar's words fell, dark flames erupted from his armor, instantly igniting the entire mist. The mist rapidly dissipated in the flames, and the dark flames, like snakes tracking prey, swiftly lunged towards Han Fei.

Han Fei's heart tightened. He quickly conjured an ice wall, attempting to block the invasion of the dark flames. However, this ice wall melted instantly under the scorching dark flames, utterly unable to withstand this powerful force.

“Damn it, I can't stop it!” Han Fei gritted his teeth. He realized he had nowhere left to retreat; he could only continue to flee. He used all his strength to activate Nature Magic, and a patch of green vines grew beneath his feet, swiftly carrying him far away.

However, the Demon Kings Avatar clearly had no intention of letting Han Fei escape easily. His figure was like a black lightning bolt, swiftly sweeping across the battlefield, instantly catching up to Han Fei. The greatsword was raised high, bringing down an endless dark power upon Han Fei.

Han Fei suddenly felt a threat of death. He knew that if this strike connected, he would have nowhere to escape. In this critical moment, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he decided to use the power of nature to counterattack. He quickly chanted a spell, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at the Demon Kings Avatar.

Although the lightning's power was strong, it still seemed pale and powerless before the Demon Kings Avatar. The Demon Kings Avatar merely swung his greatsword lightly, splitting the lightning in half. However, this momentary distraction gave Han Fei valuable time, and he quickly changed his position, continuing to flee from the Demon Kings Avatar's pursuit.

In the time that followed, Han Fei constantly used Nature Magic to create obstacles, attempting to slow the Demon Kings Avatar's pace. He summoned giant rocks to block the path, used the dense vegetation of forest magic to conceal his figure, and even used water currents and river channels to create interference. However, no matter how hard he tried, the Demon Kings Avatar remained like a shadow, constantly closing in.

Han Fei's stamina and magic were constantly depleting. Facing the Demon Kings Avatar's endless pursuit, he felt an unprecedented fatigue and despair. He knew that he ultimately could not escape this nightmare-like chase.

“Is this my end?” A hint of sorrow welled up in Han Fei's heart, but he immediately suppressed the thought. He refused to give in, he had to keep fighting, even if it meant using his last ounce of strength.

Just as Han Fei was about to unleash his final strength, he suddenly felt a faint tremor from deep within the earth. It was a power he had never felt before—ancient and profound, like the slow pulse of nature.

Han Fei closed his eyes, concentrating his mind to sense this power. He felt a power from deep within the earth calling to him, a natural force beyond his comprehension. Han Fei's consciousness gradually sank into this power; he felt his connection to nature grow even stronger, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth.

“This might be the last chance,” Han Fei murmured to himself. He decided to take a risk.

He opened his eyes, placed his hands on the ground, and chanted an ancient spell. As the spell progressed, the ground began to shake violently, and a massivecrack slowly opened before Han Fei, like a wound in the earth.

From thecrack, an ancient and powerful natural force surged out, transforming into a giant vine. This vine, like a giant Dragon, rose from the earth and lunged directly at the Demon Kings Avatar.

This vine was unlike any creature Han Fei had summoned before; it was the embodiment of nature's most primal power, carrying an irresistible might. The vine, like lightning, coiled around the Demon Kings Avatar, binding him tightly in place.

The Demon Kings Avatar, bound by this sudden force, let out an angry roar. He tried to break free with his strength, but the vine was incredibly tough, as if the entire earth was resisting the Demon Kings Avatar.

Han Fei knew this was only a temporary restraint; he had to seize this last opportunity to escape. He quickly cast Nature Magic, conjuring a whirlwind beneath his feet that swiftly carried him away from the battlefield, fleeing into the distance.

The Demon Kings Avatar struggled for a moment, finally tearing the vine apart with all his might. His eyes gleamed with furious light, and he quickly gave chase. However, Han Fei had already used nature's power to create distance, disappearing into the depths of the forest magic.

Han Fei ran desperately through the forest, hearing only the whistling wind and his own hurried breathing. His stamina was almost exhausted, and his magic was nearing depletion, but he knew he had to persevere, otherwise he would be caught by the Demon Kings Avatar and utterly destroyed.

After some time of fleeing, Han Fei finally saw a dense forest ahead—his last hope. He used his last ounce of strength to accelerate and rush into the dense forest, using its cover to evade the Demon Kings Avatar's pursuit.

Upon entering the dense forest, Han Fei quickly cast Nature Magic, establishing a connection with the surrounding plants. He used vines to hide himself deep within the forest, while also forming a natural barrier with trees and vegetation, attempting to obstruct the Demon Kings Avatar's tracking.

A moment later, the Demon Kings Avatar appeared at the edge of the dense forest. He stopped, his eyes gleaming with crimson light, seemingly searching for Han Fei's tracks. However, the natural power within the dense forest combined perfectly with Han Fei's magic, making it difficult for the Demon Kings Avatar to pinpoint his exact location for a while.

Han Fei held his breath, quietly hiding deep within the dense forest, trying not to make any sound. He knew this was only a temporary evasion; the Demon Kings Avatar would eventually find him. He had to quickly recover his stamina and magic, preparing for the final decisive battle.

Time passed minute by minute. The Demon Kings Avatar lingered at the edge of the dense forest, seemingly sensing Han Fei's aura. His patience appeared to be very limited, and he began to frantically hack at the trees with his greatsword, attempting to utterly destroy the dense forest.

Han Fei heard the sound of trees falling, and his inner tension grew even stronger. He understood that he didn't have much time left; he had to make a decision quickly.

Finally, the Demon Kings Avatar once again raised his greatsword, and dark power surged from the blade, slashing deep into the dense forest. This strike carried unparalleled destructive force; the entire dense forest seemed as if it would be uprooted by this single blow.

However, just as the greatsword was about to strike Han Fei, he suddenly leaped out of his hiding place, using all his strength to cast an evasion spell. His body instantly transformed into a green light, swiftly streaking through the dense forest.

Han Fei, using the power of the evasion spell, quickly distanced himself from the Demon Kings Avatar. He knew he could no longer continue to flee; he had to find a more advantageous terrain and use Nature Magic to engage the Demon Kings Avatar in a final showdown.

He swiftly traversed the dense forest, finally arriving at an open valley. The valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a winding river in the center. The river water was crystal clear, emanating natural Spiritual Qi. Han Fei realized that this was his final battlefield.

He quickly set up several defensive magic arrays in the valley, drawing in the power of the earth to form a solid natural barrier. Subsequently, he infused his own magic into every corner of the valley, attempting to mobilize all the power of this natural environment.

A moment later, the Demon Kings Avatar also pursued him to the valley. He stood at the valley entrance, his eyes gleaming with cold light, seemingly having already perceived Han Fei's intentions.

“Is this your last line of defense?” the Demon Kings Avatar said coldly, his voice full of disdain.

“You cannot escape; you will ultimately be destroyed by me.” The Demon Kings Avatar swung his greatsword, launching his final attack with irresistible force towards Han Fei.

Han Fei stood in the center of the valley, holding his staff high with both hands, chanting an ancient and powerful spell.

As Han Fei's spell was recited, the natural power in the valley quickly converged, forming powerful barriers. These barriers were not only composed of the earth's power but also integrated the forces of various elements such as wind, fire, water, and wood, forming a perfect natural defense system.
