68: Chapter 68 Mutual Destruction?

Two damage indicators of over four million appeared, totaling nearly ten million damage.

Athos let out a shrill scream, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Ignoring defense! Reanimating corpses! Massive empowerment!"

"You... just who the hell are you?!"

Two deep gashes were torn across his chest, exposing bone as dark red demonic blood sprayed out like a fountain.

However, Lu Yin ignored his question, and the three Demon Generals continued their assault.

"You forced my hand!"

Faced with the incoming attacks, Athos's demonic blood surged, and eerie dark-gold demonic patterns surfaced all over his body.

He let out a deafening roar toward the sky, causing the demonic energy throughout the God Realm Space to boil!

"With my blood, I sacrifice to the Abyss—True King's Form, Activate!"

Boom!

Dark red demonic energy erupted from Athos's body like a volcanic explosion.

His body expanded frantically within the energy, transforming in an instant into a terrifying demonic statue thirty meters tall.

His twin horns pierced the void, and Abyssal Fire burned in his demonic eyes. The heavy wounds he had sustained healed rapidly under the nourishment of the demonic energy.

"Ant, feel the true wrath of a Demon King!"

After activating his True King's Form, Athos's attributes skyrocketed.

Bolstered by surging Abyssal Power, his aura became more terrifying than ever before.

Lu Yin frowned slightly; this was a unique talent skill of Demon King-level Abyssal Demons.

By relying on their innate affinity for the Abyssal Source, they could directly draw Abyssal Power out of thin air to strengthen themselves.

The more powerful the demon, the greater the attribute boost.

Based on Athos's current strength, his various attributes had at least tripled.

However, Lu Yin felt no fear; numerical values were not absolute in his eyes.

As long as the effect of Eternal Sovereignty remained, it was simply a matter of hitting him a few more times.

Boom!

Athos, now in his true form, swung his demonic claws, creating a high-pitched whistle that tore through space.

Lu Yin simply raised a hand, and all the Death Soldier manifested from pitch-black magic circles.

Oath of the Eternal Guardian!

Black Flame Sovereign!

Yarberna and Kasa simultaneously unleashed their Legion Commander talents.

Both their domains covered the Death Legion, causing every Soldier of Death to be wreathed in black flames and shielded by a protective barrier.

With damage reduction coupled with extremely fast health regeneration, the strength of the Death Legion was elevated by more than a single level.

Of course, ordinary Death Soldier would still inevitably be one-shot by the current Athos.

But the three Demon Generals and the two Legion Commanders could at least avoid being instantly killed.

"No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants!"

Athos gave a cruel laugh, his descending claws resembling a collapsing sky.

Soul Wither!

Eternal Silent Abyss!

Abyssal Myriad-Rending Claws!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three Demon Generals released their skills simultaneously: magic, sword light, and claw shadows.

They slammed into Athos's demonic claws at the same time, resulting in a deafening roar.

Surging power vibrated through the void, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear in space.

However, this stalemate lasted only a few seconds before the attacks of the three Demon Generals were forcibly shattered.

The violent shockwave sent Ars and the others flying back, as staggering damage numbers appeared above their heads.

-8,954,565! -7,984,565! -7,735,465!

This single strike had depleted nearly a third of their health bars.

"Before this King's true form, you are all but ants!"

Tyrannical flames burned in Athos's massive demonic eyes. His thirty-meter demonic body trampled the void, every step causing the God Realm Space to tremble violently.

He opened his massive maw, and Abyssal demonic energy condensed into a dark red energy sphere.

"Abyssal Annihilation Cannon!"

The energy sphere whistled forth, the space it passed through shattering inch by inch. Carrying an aura of total destruction, it lunged straight for the three Demon Generals!

Athos intended to wipe out these three Demon Generals in one fell swoop.

But how could Lu Yin let him have his way? Kasa and Yarberna attacked simultaneously, their fierce strikes landing on the energy sphere.

Boom!

The energy sphere exploded, knocking both of them back.

Although they took serious damage, Lu Yin had activated Sovereign-Subject Connection, causing the damage they received to be shared equally among the other Death Soldier.

Meanwhile, Lu Yin did not remain idle.

The other Death Soldier all used their skills, and a variety of moves landed on Athos's body.

-103,577! -98,765! -115,477!

...

While the individual damage was only around a hundred thousand, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.

In this round of attacks, Athos took at least ten million damage.

"Damnable ants!"

Athos was enraged. These attacks, which shouldn't have been able to pierce his defense, were now making him feel a lethal threat.

His crimson demonic pupils suddenly contracted, locking onto Lu Yin, who was standing quietly in the rear.

He finally understood that those troublesome summoned creatures were merely puppets being controlled.

This seemingly weak human was the true source of the lethality!

"I'll kill you first!"

Athos's gaze was fierce as surging demonic power condensed in his palm.

"Demon King Flash!"

The demonic power accumulated in his palm suddenly erupted, transforming into a world-destroying crimson beam.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and he even deactivated the Sovereign-Subject Connection.

"Master!"

"My Lord!"

Sensing the connection vanish, Yarberna and Kasa were both shocked. They immediately moved, wanting to block the attack in front of Lu Yin.

"Attack!"

But Lu Yin only calmly uttered two syllables.

Yarberna wanted to say something more, but the unquestionable expression on Lu Yin's face made her obey her Sovereign's command.

Under Lu Yin's order, the entire Death Legion unleashed their strongest skills, bombarding Athos's body.

"Ant, do you intend to perish together with this King?!"

A hint of madness also surfaced on Athos's face.

He similarly ignored the attacks from his surroundings, wanting only to completely erase Lu Yin.

Boom!

The crimson beam swallowed Lu Yin's figure without any surprise, and Athos's health bar was also emptied under the barrage of attacks.

But in the next instant, a familiar and wicked laugh suddenly rang out.

"Jie jie jie! Under the protection of the Abyss, this King is immortal!"

Athos's fallen massive body slowly split open, revealing a blood-colored cocoon within.

Puchi!

The blood-colored cocoon shattered, and Athos stepped out in a wretched state, covered in blood.

Although his aura was much weaker, the madness in his demonic eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

He looked toward the spot where Lu Yin had been swallowed by the red light with a sneer: "Foolish human, you actually thought you could perish together with this King?"

However, after a few seconds, his smile froze on his face.

A soft golden light bloomed from the void, and a crystal shattered out of thin air.

The moment the crystal shattered, majestic life force gathered like a tide, and Lu Yin's body reconstructed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, he was as good as new.

His gaze swept over Athos: "I have been resurrected, and my army of death is still here."

"But your resurrection has consumed all of your Abyssal Power."
