114: Demon King - Ao! Worthy of being a tortoise shell!

How could a Fiend General be like a small monster in his hands?

Qin City and Zhou Huahua looked at Ye Ze with disbelief, as if he were a monster.

They clearly remembered that a few days ago, when they escorted Ye Ze to the Regimental Dungeon, although he was very strong, he was still far from being a Fiend General!

But now, he could instantly kill one?

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Ye Ze smiled faintly, "Alright, you can handle the rest. I still need to go to the front lines."

There were still many fierce beasts and demonic beasts, but without the control of the Soul-Sucking Fiend Demon, they were much easier to deal with!

"Okay!" Qin City nodded with a complicated expression, "We'll handle it."

Immediately after, Ye Ze rode the Demon Dragon and flew away.

"Just a few days ago, he was a student who needed my escort. How did he become so strong now?" Qin City, the Captain of the guard team, murmured as he watched Ye Ze's departing back.

But Zhou Huahua, beside him, ruthlessly exposed him:

"Captain, he was the one who saved you during the beast tide before, and then single-handedly dealt with the beast tide leader, alright!"

"Uh..." Qin City was immediately speechless.

...

Although the problem of the Scarlet Plains was resolved, Ye Ze still felt a bit regretful.

"It's a pity I only encountered a Fiend General, not a Demon King..."

Besides more experience, he wanted the Demon King's origin fragments even more!

From Ye Ze's judgment, taking the evil ghost mask as an example, a complete origin fragment would probably be no weaker than God-level!

Even if it wasn't complete, it could still be used for the evil ghost mask to absorb source energy...

The God-level Resurgence was about to enter its second stage, and at that time, more God grade secret realms would definitely appear!

The evil ghost mask would also be more useful!

Even though many powerful Demon Kings were still difficult for Ye Ze to deal with, it couldn't stop his desire to challenge them!

At this moment, with the Sky King's flight speed bonus, the Demon Dragon was extremely fast in the air.

It quickly arrived near Lin Yuan City!

Approaching here, the demonic energy was noticeably thicker! The battlefield was becoming more intense!

But at this moment, Ye Ze suddenly looked forward.

"What is that!?"

On the ground, a massive figure like a mountain blocked the only path to Lin Yuan City, its aura terrifying!

Its appearance was like a giant turtle, but its huge head resembled a dragon's head. Its scales were black with patterns, hard as rock, and it lay on the ground like a moving mountain!

Thousands of Demon Suppression Army soldiers attacked it from a distance, but couldn't even leave a mark.

It just lay there, unmoving.

And at its feet, the polluting power of the Abyss was slowly infecting and spreading across the land!

Another one trying to turn Lin Yuan City into a Pollution Land!

Ye Ze frowned and activated his Eye of Insight...

【King-level Fiend - Ao (lv.70)】

On the ground, among the thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers besieging Demon King Ao, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping roared:

"You bastard!"

"If you have guts, don't defend, get up and fight!!"

However, Demon King Ao remained unmoved, blocking the only path to Lin Yuan City while creating a Pollution Land.

This was what gave the Demon Suppression Army a headache.

If it only blocked the path to the front lines, they could use other means of transport to fly over, but they couldn't ignore the creation of a Pollution Land!

What was even more hateful was that Demon King Ao was thick-skinned and impossible to damage, and it didn't attack at all; it just blocked the way.

"Damn it! You won't move, will you! Fire the cannon!"

"Second Battalion Commander!"

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping roared, and the Second Battalion Commander of the Zhubei Regiment brought up a technological giant cannon!

A legendary six-star Demon Slaying Cannon!

Each cannonball consumed an enormous amount of energy, and Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping would usually never be willing to use it unless the situation was dire.

However, after the Demon Slaying Cannon bombarded it, Demon King Mirage only sustained some minor injuries to its shell, and it recovered instantly the next second!

"What a bastard!" Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping gritted his teeth.

At this moment, Ye Ze descended from the sky on the Demon Dragon.

"Regimental Commander Chang, you all retreat. Let me handle this!"

"Ye Ze!"

After a long time, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping was first surprised, then sighed helplessly:

"You don't know this Demon King's defense..."

"Its HP, defense, damage reduction, and HP recovery are all maxed out; it's purely a bastard!"

"Even if you deal some damage, it's not enough for it to recover in a second!"

However, Ye Ze smiled faintly, completely unconcerned, and aGlass-colored flame rose in his hand.

"Don't worry."

"So far, I don't believe anything can defend against this!"

"This is...!" Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping looked at the flame with surprise, seemingly recalling some inside information...

"God-level!?"

"Quick! The entire regiment retreat! Leave the battlefield to Ye Ze!"

After only a moment's hesitation, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping issued the retreat order, and the entire regiment of thousands of Demon Suppression Army soldiers quickly and orderly retreated!

At this moment, Ye Ze, who had already transformed into spiritual energy, waved his hand and lightly tapped the tip of the flame towards Demon King Ao.

A spark of Samadhi True Fire landed on it.

The next second.

"Awoo—!"

A scream like an earthquake suddenly erupted!

Demon King Ao, who had always been indifferent to attacks, now had its face twisting as it was burned by the Samadhi True Fire.

Samadhi True Fire was, in Ye Ze's opinion, the most genuine damage he had ever seen.

All of Demon King Ao's defenses, damage reduction, and even its super-thick health bar disintegrated in an instant.

The flames continuously spread, causing Demon King Ao to tremble uncontrollably.

The ground itself began to shake like an earthquake.

"This damage! Holy crap!"

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping felt relieved at this moment, as if the resentment he had suffered from this 'bastard' had finally dissipated!

After burning for a full half minute, the mountain-like body of Demon King Ao gradually dissipated, almost turning into ashes.

Three golden pieces of equipment and a turtle shell dropped.

"Awesome, Ye Ze!" Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping was greatly surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so strong already!"

At this moment, a thousand Demon Suppression Army soldiers behind him erupted in cheers and applause, almost throwing Ye Ze up in celebration.

In a battlefield, a strong individual greatly boosts morale for the army.

But Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping immediately became melancholic, "If only I had been more assertive when I recruited you back then!"

Hearing this, Ye Ze's mouth twitched, "Not necessarily, not necessarily..."

Then he quickly picked up the spoils of war.

He had finally gotten another origin fragment he had been thinking about!

Although he had also lost a lot of spiritual energy.

But seeing the effect of this origin fragment (turtle shell), Ye Ze felt it was extremely worthwhile:

【Origin Fragment - Ao: Creates a 100% damage-immune shield for 1 minute upon use, consuming 100 source energy.】

A 100% damage-immune shield!

Truly worthy of being a turtle shell!

Although some special damages, like Samadhi True Fire, couldn't be resisted by damage immunity, this effect was still extremely powerful!

Furthermore, this origin fragment had an effect, clearly indicating it was a stronger type, and even if absorbed by the evil ghost mask, it would gain more source energy!

Worth it!

However, at this moment.

The sky changed!

The sky, which had been bright just a moment ago, instantly turned pitch black, as if covered by endless darkness!

Ye Ze, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping, and others looked up, only to see an eye appear in the sky!

A blood-red vertical pupil!

Overlooking the human world!

An indescribable sense of crisis enveloped everyone's hearts.

Ye Ze frowned tightly, instinctively clenching the turtle shell, preparing for Shadow Evasion...

"Is this Demon Lord... Candle Nine?"
