768 Playing With Lightning In Front of Me?

As the allied army in the southern warzone fled, the demon army surged out. The demonic Qi also began to spread rapidly.

Monstrous demonic clouds covered the vast territory. Darkness eroded heaven and earth. Everything in this space-time appeared dark and dull.

In the center of the domain, Lin Qiye was surrounded by demons.

The Half-Supremes under his control and Meng Tu were slowly surrounded by the demon army.

!!

“Damn it. How did this happen?” Meng Tu was extremely anxious.

He wanted to send a message to Lin Qiye, but there were too many demons blocking his way. He was too far away. He could not establish a connection with him.

He glanced at the other Half-Supremes participating in the operation.

Most of their situations weren’t good, and some even had their escape routes blocked by the demons.

“Should we retreat?”

Meng Tu was a little hesitant, but he immediately felt ashamed.

This was the southern region, where his duty lay. He needed to protect this place.

In comparison, Lin Qiye didn’t have to bear any responsibility for the southern warzone, but he still risked his life to stay and stop the demons. Meng Tu didn’t have the right to be self-centered.

Meng Tu shook his head in self-mockery, but his gaze quickly became stern and firm.

Since he didn’t want to be a coward, even if he had to give up his life, he must find a way to save this rare and good seedling.

Accompanied by an explosive shout, Meng Tu crushed a Celestial Origin Stone and burned his immortal energy to charge into the endless demons.

His domain that flickered with a light blue radiance lit up the darkness.

Every time the light shone, demons would rain from the sky.

They were densely packed like rain.

However, compared to the vast and boundless demon army, the influence Meng Tu caused was like a fly on an elephant. It was insignificant and did not cause any substantial damage.

As he tried to kill his way into the demonic horde, Lin Qiye, who was in the center, had a rare dark expression.

Ten seconds!

If he had been given ten seconds, he could close the portal!

But now, everything was beyond his expectations.

The army of demons had formed a formation he had never seen before.

The foundation of the formation was the endless army of demons.

It blocked his divine sense and everything else!

At this moment, not only was he unable to sense the location of the space-time node, but he had also lost control of the few Half-Supremes outside the demon group.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was in his awakened state and had the endless divine lightning’s protection…

When the demon ball was formed, he would have fallen under the charge of King Tuo Ni and the Immortal demons.

“Haha! Damn human, I’d like to see how long you can last!”

King Tuo Ni’s ferocious face was filled with madness.

After a few rounds of attacks, more than a thousand demons of the Immortal Realm had fallen to Lin Qiye’s divine lightning.

Nobody could count how many low-grade demons below the Immortal Realm had fallen.

However, he didn’t care. Lin Qiye’s display of skills had already sent a chill down his spine.

Therefore, even if they had to give up the southern warzone, they had to finish him off here!

“Go!”

King Tuo Ni continued to command the demons to charge.

In the narrow space, the divine lightning was dense, and it would take the lives of millions of demons every time it struck.

However, the dead demons were not annihilated as usual. Instead, they left behind residue that fell into the demonic sphere and was absorbed.

After that, a new demon would be born within the demon cluster.

Although their strength would be drastically reduced, the huge number would cause a cycle.

An army of tens of billions had been forcibly pushed to a combat power of over a hundred billion!

Lin Qiye only realized this was why Meng Tu said that even Supremes could only flee when faced with hundreds of billions of demons.

Trapped in this strange formation, even his divine lightning couldn’t exterminate these demons. If it were anyone else, just thinking about it was enough to make them despair!

[Life Lantern Gem prompt: The Demon King’s Heart is about to awaken!]

[Awakening progress: 98.6%…]

The sudden pop-up caused Lin Qiye’s already heavy heart to sink to the bottom.

Was his life going to end here?

He couldn’t accept this!

He was unwilling!

“Qiye, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see the day when peace and prosperity come…”

“I can’t help you anymore… Master…”

“Milord, please escape!”

…

...

One scene after another flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind.

He thought of Zhu Yuheng’s soul, still waiting for him to repair it.

He thought of Wan Meng, who had fallen into a slumber because of him.

He thought of his subordinates.

He thought of the battle-robed man whose name he didn’t even know but was willing to give up his life for him.

…

Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

He laughed awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

“Brother Ye, you’re looking miserable now. It’s just a bunch of trash demons. What’s there to be afraid of? If you can’t beat them, call me. I’ll beat them up with one punch!”

Lin Qiye was startled awake when he saw Chen Fan waving his fist.

He was affected by the negative emotions without realizing it.

...

Was it the effect of the demon formation or the Demon King’s Heart?

Seeing that his awakening progress had reached 99.1%, Lin Qiye suppressed the frustration in his heart and began to think quickly.

There was no clear indication of what would happen when the Demon King’s Heart awakening progress reached 100%.

Perhaps he would become the host of the sky-devouring demon.

Or perhaps he would be eroded by the demonic power and turn into a demon.
