158: Demon King! Qibao Linglong Tower!

The sky of the Star Spirit World was a night filled with dim stars.

However, at this moment, violent tremors were continuously echoing above the sky!

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Everyone present looked up, as if even the battle had been paused.

Ye Ze frowned, he and Fox Fairy, Panda, and others all sensed it… it was mythical-level power again!

Compared to the Celestial God's Will and the Barbarian God Phantom, the power above the firmament was as vast as the sea!

What made everyone even more terrified was that above the sky of the Star Spirit World, a crack appeared with the tremors, as if it had been smashed.

Following that crack, Ye Ze saw the figure above the firmament!

It was a Demon!

He seemed to be floating outside the Star Spirit World's sky, his body massive, as towering as a mountain, with black demonic energyEntanglement around him.

Behind him, a pair of black demonic wings covered in skulls unfurled, and a pair of curved ram horns topped his head, his eyes flickering with scarlet light, revealing endless malice and threat.

In his dark red palm, he held a pagoda radiating colorful light.

It seemed the recent knocking-like tremors were emitted by this pagoda.

“It’s mythical-level… but not a clone!!!”

White Lin’s slightly aged eyes trembled violently.

Moon Rabbit opened her mouth blankly, “Is it a true mythical-level, a World Master?”

Just as everyone was in disbelief.

The most shocked was Demon Dragon Simon; his vertical pupils stared intently at the sky, extremely indignant:

“It’s him.”

“Demon King!”

The moment he heard this title, Ye Ze immediately understood.

That’s right, with the emergence of mythical-level beings, both Celestial God and Barbarian God made their moves, so how could the Demon King of the Demon Race not come!

It turned out he wasn't not coming, he was coming with a bang!

At this moment, many Spirit Demons of the Spirit Demon Clan began to tremble…

Because among the three hostile races, compared to Celestial God and Barbarian God, the Demon King’s strength was publicly recognized as overwhelmingly superior!

No one had expected that the Demon King would actually come in his true form!

Seeing this scene, Sass's expression visibly changed…

From the anger, unwillingness, and collapse of defeat, it instantly turned into excitement!

“Hahahahaha! Father King—!”

Sass spread his hands towards the sky, his joy inexpressible.

Then he stared fiercely at the Human Race and the Spirit Demon Clan, snarling, “When my Father King arrives, the humiliation you brought upon the Demon Race must be repaid a hundredfold!”

“None of you will escape!”

He roared, his laughter growing increasingly rampant.

Feeling the aura of the Demon King about to descend.

Moon Rabbit’s body trembled uncontrollably; she wavered, “We, we should leave quickly!”

“The Demon King is coming, we must leave the Star Spirit World first!”

Many Spirit Demons also voiced the same opinion.

The Demon King is irresistible.

This was almost the unanimous thought of everyone present…

If compared to the Celestial God's Will, the Demon King's true body is dozens of times stronger! No exaggeration!

White Lin stared at the shattered opening in the firmament, his expression vigilant, saying:

“The Demon King actually wants to break through the ‘World Barrier’!”

“Once the World Barrier is broken, the Star Spirit World’s restrictions will completely disappear, and the Demon King… will come in!”

The World Barrier is the name for the protective shield of various worlds.

The reason why people of Tier 8 and above cannot enter the Star Spirit World is that the ‘World Barrier’ blocks them.

Celestial God and Barbarian God both used the method of descending their clones onto their descendants to achieve ‘smuggling’ in.

And the way the Demon King intends to enter… is by directly shattering the World Barrier!

Once the World Barrier is destroyed, the restriction that Tier 8 and above cannot enter will be completely invalidated.

The Demon King’s approach is truly unreasonable!

At this moment, the Demon King brandished the pagoda radiating colorful light in his hand, inverting the pagoda and using its tip to chisel at the World Barrier!

Ye Ze’s eyes widened, but not because of the Demon King, but because of the pagoda in his hand!

That was clearly a mythical-level item!

Moreover, Ye Ze found it somewhat familiar!

The pagoda was golden throughout, seven-storied, with a base made of bluestone, emitting a colorful glow.

The moment this pagoda appeared, Zero’s Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire-Tipped Spear also trembled slightly.

“Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda?”

Ye Ze exclaimed in disbelief.

In mythical legends, Pagoda-bearing Heavenly King Li Jing held this Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda in his hand.

Within the pagoda was a small world like a mustard seed, capable of trapping enemies, suppressing them, defending against them, and so on…

Theoretically, it had some connection with the Samadhi True Fire and Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand.

However, the Demon King used the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda in an extremely crude manner.

He was simply using the pagoda as a large hammer to continuously chisel at the Star Spirit World’s World Barrier…

Perhaps the Demon King merely regarded the pagoda as a convenient tool.

As a powerful and long-reigning World Master, it was normal for the Demon King to possess mythical-level items.

It’s just that his method of use was quite crude.

But Ye Ze had no time to dwell on that.

Another gap was smashed into the Star Spirit World’s World Barrier…

If it couldn't be stopped, it was only a matter of time before the Star Spirit World was shattered!

More importantly, Blue Star’s teleportation portal was still in the Star Spirit World, and if the Demon King were to enter, he might very well take the opportunity to invade Blue Star!

Furthermore, the Star Spirit World would certainly not be preserved under the Demon King’s rampage.

Ye Ze had originally intended for Panda to become the World Master of the Star Spirit World and control the Star Spirit World’s World Power… but that would undoubtedly fall through now.

“Ye Ze! Let’s go first, as long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn! The Demon King cannot be contended with!”

“Ye Ze, do you still have any other way?”

Seeing Ye Ze remain rooted to the spot, White Lin, Moon Rabbit, Shi Qing, Wan Feipeng, and others all gathered around him with anxious expressions.

On the other side, seeing the Human Race and Spirit Demon Clan wanting to flee, Sass and the Demon Army immediately surged in morale!

“Haha! Still trying to run?”

“You offended my Demon Race, none of you will live! Chase them!”

Sass’s expression was exhilarated, and even his tone became high-pitched.

The remaining Demon Army, at Sass’s command, pursued them relentlessly.

Ye Ze pondered for a moment, then said, “The army continues to slaughter the Demon Race!”

He looked up at the Demon King, “I must try.”

“Otherwise, giving up the Star Spirit World like this will lead to endless troubles!”

The Star Spirit World is, after all, connected to everyone’s home planet, and unless the situation is urgent, no one is willing to give it up.

Hearing Ye Ze’s words, Wan Feipeng was the first to lead his people in agreement, saying, “Good! We will continue to slaughter the Demon Army!”

At Ye Ze’s command, the Demon Suppression Army and countless Spirit Demons continued to face the counter-attacking Demon Army.

Sass snorted coldly, “Still trying to make a last stand?”

“Once my Father King arrives, all of you will die!”

Wan Feipeng said disdainfully, “We’ll kill you first before we die!”

With that, he transformed into a green storm, charging straight towards the rear of the Demon Army.

Sass trembled at the words, quickly retreating a dozen paces… “Kill them for me!”

Beside Ye Ze, Moon Rabbit said nervously, “Ye Ze… are you really confident?”

“We’ll only know after trying.”

As his voice fell, Ye Ze took out the jade purification bottle.

Holding the willow branch, he sprinkled dozens of drops of sweet dew water towards the sky.

The sweet dew water has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life, and can even restore depleted divine artifacts; theoretically, repairing damaged World Barriers should not be a problem…

And fearing that the sweet dew water might not be enough, Ye Ze sprinkled dozens of drops at once.

The crystal-clear sweet dew water flew towards the sky, as if transforming into a small river of spiritual energy, and then merged into the Star Spirit World’s World Barrier.

“Hmm?”

The Demon King, holding the pagoda, was momentarily stunned.

The World Barrier, which had just been smashed with two gaps, was now rapidly healing!

“It worked! The World Barrier actually healed!”

Moon Rabbit’s voice was excited, and she grabbed Ye Ze’s arm, wanting to jump for joy.

Their Shan Hai World had been infected by the Pollution Land, and they had hoped to find a living space in the Star Spirit World.

No one wished for the Star Spirit World to survive more than they did.

Ye Ze, however, shook his head, “The sweet dew water is limited… while the Demon King can continuously chisel at the World Barrier.”

“It only temporarily hindered him.”

Hearing this, everyone’s excited expressions gradually cooled down.

Outside the Star Spirit World, the Demon King grinned menacingly, looking from afar at Ye Ze on the ground through the World Barrier.

“A new divine artifact? Interesting!”

“Too bad, it will soon be mine!”

As his voice fell, the Demon King, holding the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, once again smashed fiercely towards the World Barrier.

For a moment, heaven and earth trembled slightly.

The Demon Dragon’s brows furrowed, and he gathered a mouthful of Annihilation Black Flame, spewing it directly towards the Demon King outside the World Barrier.

The black flame drew a scorching arc in the air, its destructive aura seeming to devour the surrounding air.

But the Demon King merely chuckled at the sight, and with a gentle stretch of his hand, he actually caught the Annihilation Black Flame!

The destructive black flame caused no damage to his palm; instead, as the Demon King closed his hand, the black flame was extinguished instantly.

This single burst of Annihilation Black Flame, enough to instantly kill a Tier 6, was extinguished like a small flame!

“Damn it!”

The Demon Dragon stared at the Demon King above, cursing.

Seeing this, the Demon King stopped his actions and laughed loudly at the Demon Dragon:

“Simon, finding a Human Race as your backer is truly a foolish thing!”

“Although, your strength has indeed grown a bit…”

The Demon King’s tone became suspicious, as he noticed black marks burned into his palm… To leave marks on his hand, at least Tier 7 power was required!

“Compared to other useless beings, you are indeed a qualified Demon Prince.”

Hearing the Demon King’s words, Fallen Angel Demon Sass, cowering behind the army, turned pale.

This was a more severe setback for him than the recent collapse of the Demon Army.

The Demon King looked at the Demon Dragon: “Return to the Demon World, and you can continue to be my Demon Prince; I will let bygones be bygones…”

Sass’s face turned even paler, filled with terror.

But the Demon Dragon still looked disdainful, “Give me back the trash I threw away?”

Staying in the Demon World would only mean waiting for death.

If he was too useless as a Demon Prince, the Demon King would find ways to torment him to death; but once he showed even a hint of power that threatened the Demon King, he would die even more miserably!

However, for Sass, it brought a lot of relief.

Hearing the Demon Dragon’s reply, the Demon King snorted coldly, then slammed down the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda in his hand again!

“Zero, Fox Fairy.”

Ye Ze called out… merely defending wouldn't solve the problem; he had to find a way to repel the Demon King to preserve the Star Spirit World!

As his voice fell, Zero and Fox Fairy both understood.

Since ordinary Tier 7 attacks posed no threat to the Demon King, they would try with mythical-level power!

Purple Flame Snake Spear Fire-Tipped Spear, Samadhi True Fire.

In an instant, Zero's spear tip angled to condense a purple flame fire dragon, and Fox Fairy's body spiritual power condensed into a greenish-white glazed fire light.

Two red lights, one purple and one green, soared into the sky.

Two mythical-level attacks, used for the first time to focus fire on a single enemy!

However, the pagoda in the Demon King’s hand instantly radiated colorful light.

The Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda condensed a huge golden pagoda body phantom downwards.

In an instant, the attacks of the Fire Tipped Spear and Samadhi True Fire were directly suppressed beneath the pagoda body!

Immediately after, the pagoda phantom became smaller and smaller, wearing down and dispersing the two mythical-level attacks.

“Damn!”

Ye Ze slapped his forehead at the sight, saying helplessly, “I’m being countered.”

At this moment, it was as if a scene from mythical legends was being replayed.

Even the original owners of the Fire Tipped Spear and Samadhi True Fire had to call the original owner of the Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda ‘Father’ after being defeated.

For a moment, Ye Ze was incredibly envious of this Seven Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, which possessed defensive and suppressive abilities.

Unfortunately, it was in the Demon King’s hands.

“No choice.”

Ye Ze sighed helplessly.

Beside him, Moon Rabbit pursed her lips, feeling a bit sad, “Then, then shall we go?”

Ye Ze could only turn to look at Great Demon King Bai Lin…

“Great Demon King Bai Lin, you deal with the Demon King.”

“Me?”

White Lin was startled.

Ye Ze said with certainty, “You have a skill called [Dimensional Banishment], don’t you?”

[Dimensional Banishment: Exclusive skill of the Shan Hai World’s pseudo-World Master, consumes source power to banish enemies into spatial rifts!]

This was from the previous two times, when facing the Barbarian God Phantom and the Celestial God's Will, White Lin had repeatedly wanted to take action…

That’s when Ye Ze used his Eye of Insight to check his ‘confidence’.

Unexpectedly, although the Shan Hai World had no World Master, it had White Lin, a pseudo-World Master, and he even had an exclusive skill.

Spatial rifts are forced passages leading to other locations in the myriad worlds…

If the banishment effect was good, it was uncertain whether the enemy could return!

The reason Ye Ze didn’t use it right away was also because the banishment location was random, and the effect could not be determined.

If luck was extremely bad, it was not impossible to be directly banished to Blue Star…

But for now, there was no other way to stop the Demon King.

However, White Lin looked bitter and said:

“Although I have the skill, the Shan Hai World’s source power is almost depleted due to the invasion of the Pollution Land!”

“With the source power I have left, at most I can banish a clone of a World Master.”

“Trying to banish the Demon King, even if I stake my life, I can’t do it…”

Hearing this, Moon Rabbit looked at White Lin with some sadness.

Because she knew that White Lin didn’t have much lifespan left, and if he forced himself to use it, it might further reduce his lifespan.

But Ye Ze had already anticipated this, “Don’t worry, I can help you replenish your source power.”

“And, if the banishment succeeds, I promise to help the Shan Hai World solve the Pollution Land problem in the future.”

“Can you solve the Pollution Land problem in the Shan Hai World!?”

“Can you replenish source power?!”

As soon as his voice fell, White Lin and Moon Rabbit both exclaimed in surprise.

White Lin’s heart surged, “Then there’s no need to say more, come on!!!”

Not only could he banish the Demon King, but he also had a chance to solve the Pollution Land problem in the Shan Hai World; it was worth it even if it cost him his life!

Ye Ze didn't waste any more words; if they delayed any longer, the Demon King would shatter the World Barrier…

He gave most of the sweet dew water from the jade purification bottle to White Lin; banishing a true mythical-level being required a considerable amount of source power.

The next moment, a sacred white radiance erupted from White Lin.

“It’s been so long since I’ve had this much source power!”

His expression was invigorated, and he waved his hands towards the Demon King above, “Dimensional Banishment!”

White Lin’s eyes turned a brilliant silver-white, and a spatial gate seemed to condense in his hands.

And the Demon King suddenly felt himself bound, unable to move!

“What…?”

Before he could react, an irresistible force swept him into the spatial rift!

The Demon King’s figure vanished just like that!

Moon Rabbit’s eyes shone brightly, “Banishment successful!”

“Cough cough…” White Lin’s surrounding radiance dissipated, and he coughed twice, “It worked!”

“And I estimate that this time, the Demon King has been banished to a place where he will probably find it very difficult to escape!”

“Oh?” Ye Ze couldn’t help but become curious, “Where has the Demon King been banished to now?”

White Lin: “Endless Void!”
