If he had the Eternal Tree back then, he would have long been reborn. Why would he need to spend so many tens of thousands of years scheming? Why would he have to go through so much hardship to fight today?
“How could you have the Eternal Tree?” The Great Demon God was so jealous he was about to go crazy.
The only response he received was Yang Kai’s fierce punch, which landed heavily on his temple, causing his vision to darken and his head to buzz.
Instinctively, he raised his hand and grabbed Yang Kai’s arm, tearing off a large chunk of his flesh. Yang Kai ignored this and sent out a flurry of punches towards the Great Demon God.
The Great Demon God didn’t care about this and simply stuffed the torn pieces of flesh into his mouth, chewing them before swallowing them down. Since Yang Kai had already refined the Eternal Tree, it could be said that his entire body was filled with its essence.
The surging vitality in his body exploded, causing his injuries to be somewhat suppressed.
At the final juncture of this battle, no one had expected such a situation to occur. The Great Demon God’s massive body was nailed to the ground by Yang Kai’s Azure Dragon Spear, unable to move at all. Yang Kai’s two hundred zhang half dragon body was practically riding on his body as he madly attacked, while the Great Demon God’s hands were constantly tearing off Yang Kai’s flesh and blood.
As these punches landed, a series of muffled sounds rang out across the entire world. The Great Demon God’s head was almost deformed, and countless wounds appeared on his body. Yang Kai was also not in a good state, with countless pieces of his flesh and blood missing, revealing his golden dragon bone.
Both of their injuries were quickly healed under the effects of the Eternal Tree’s essence, and for a time they were evenly matched, neither of them able to defeat the other.
Now, it all depended on who could persist.
A figure flew over unsteadily from a short distance away, and Wu Kuang let out a low chuckle, a crazed look on his face as he waited until was above the Great Demon God's head before stopping and forming a series of hand seals with both hands, slapping his palm down and shouting, “Heaven Devourer… Battle Law!”
This palm strike didn’t seem to contain much power, but it was obvious to the naked eye that a pure energy was being drawn out from the Great Demon God’s body and fused into Wu Kuang’s.
Wu Kuang wore a look of ecstasy on his face, as if he had just eaten the most delicious food in the world, his laughter becoming even crazier.
“Bastard!” The Great Demon God glared at the ant above him.
Wu Kuang stared back at him, his eyes filled with ridicule as he taunted, “If you have the ability, then glare at this King to death!”
If it was any other time, Great Demon God might not have taken Wu Kuang’s actions seriously. Previously, Wu Kuang had used this Heaven Devourer Battle Law to devour his strength many times, but it had not had any obvious effect. However, at this moment, his strength was no longer the same as before. His body had been nailed to the ground by the Azure Dragon Spear while Yang Kai’s attacks rained down like a storm. If Wu Kuang tried to devour him again, he would not be able to hold on. His strength will rapidly drained away and he will disappeared into thin air, even the Eternal Tree essence will not be enough to replenish him.
Fear filled his heart as the Great Demon God’s expression changed drastically.
Raising his hand, he tried to grab Wu Kuang, but he was caught off guard by a dragon tail sweeping towards him. The massive force of the dragon’s tail restrained one of his arms and after struggling a few times, he was unable to move.
The Great Demon God roared and used his other hand to slap Yang Kai’s chest. Halfway through, his palm became a blade and ruthlessly stabbed into Yang Kai’s chest, grabbing his beating heart.
However, before he could exert any strength, Yang Kai grinned and grabbed the Great Demon God’s hand with both hands, fiercely clenching it as he spat out, “Burst!”
The Space Laws fluctuated wildly as the Space Force exploded at the base of the Great Demon God’s arm, causing blood to spurt out in all directions. The Great Demon God’s arm was directly cut off as a miserable cry rang out.
Yang Kai tossed the giant arm to the back of his head and once again launched a barrage of attacks towards the Great Demon God.
Demonic Qi was growing from the Great Demon God’s severed arm and his flesh was squirming, as if he was about to grow another arm. However, under the influence of Wu Kuang’s Heaven Devourer Battle Law, the blood and pure energy from his severed arm was constantly being devoured, and the wound showed no signs of healing, much less regrowing.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the Great Demon God’s overwhelming momentum continued to fall, and Yang Kai’s momentum also fell. Even though he had refined the Eternal Tree and completely restored his strength to fight the second battle, he still couldn’t withstand such a direct confrontation.
“Fuck off!” The Great Demon God, who had been in a weakened state before his death, suddenly burst into action. As he opened his mouth and roared, a violent energy burst out from his mouth and transformed into a deadly attack that struck Yang Kai.
The two hundred zhang long half dragon body didn’t even pause for a moment before it was sent flying. In mid-air, the sound of bones breaking could be heard as the wound on his chest burst open and golden blood sprayed out.
Falling heavily to the ground, Yang Kai quickly got up, but before he could fully stand up, he staggered and fell to his knees, gasping for breath. His vision was blurred by blood, and the entire world was covered in golden light.
“It’s time!” Wu Kuang, who had been hovering above the Great Demon God’s head, constantly devouring his strength, suddenly muttered before raising his arms and shouting, “Junior, if the situation isn’t right, don’t hesitate to tear him to pieces, otherwise there will be no end of trouble!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell from the sky and stabbed his palm into the wound on the Great Demon God’s head. Immediately after, his body trembled and his eyes dimmed for a moment before quickly brightening. Quickly withdrawing his hand from the Great Demon God’s body, he flew to Yang Kai’s side and stared ahead with a solemn expression.
This movement did not cause any damage, but after Wu Kuang’s attack, the Great Demon God who had been nailed to the ground and was lying face up in the air suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes bulged as he shouted angrily, “Ignorant rat, how dare you! Scram!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his weak aura suddenly became unstable, and the Demonic Qi in his massive body began to fluctuate wildly, as if he was experiencing a difficult battle.
Yang Kai gasped for breath as he looked around. At first, he didn’t understand what was happening, but soon he thought of something and turned his head to the side, frowning, “Senior Hongchen?”
Duan Hongchen nodded lightly and said solemnly, “Prepare yourself, if the situation turns bad, immediately join forces with this old master to kill him!”
Yang Kai asked in surprise, “Wu Kuang is trying to possess his body?”
Since the last opening of the Star Fragments Sea, Duan Hongchen and Wu Kuang had shared the same body. Under normal circumstances, Wu Kuang would be the one in charge. Now that Duan Hongchen was standing in front of him, it wasn’t difficult to guess where Wu Kuang had gone.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling shocked by Wu Kuang’s boldness.
This was a Great Demon God, so how could he have thought of possessing his body? However, thinking about it, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. The Bustling World Great Emperor and Heaven Devourer Great Emperor couldn’t always share the same body, now that there was such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he were Wu Kuang, he definitely wouldn’t miss it. Even if he had to take a huge risk, compared to the benefits he would receive after succeeding, it was undoubtedly worth it.
Duan Hongchen slowly shook his head, “It’s not possession, it’s devouring!”
Yang Kai understood that Possession and Devouring were different. The latter was Wu Kuang’s specialty. At this moment, Great Demon God was constantly fighting and was on the verge of death. With Wu Kuang’s Heaven Devourer Battle Law, he really had a chance to succeed.
“What are the odds?” Yang Kai asked solemnly.
“Less than thirty percent!”
Yang Kai sucked in a breath of cold air. This Wu Kuang actually dared to risk his life when he had less than a thirty percent chance. Duan Hongchen had been in the same body as him for so many years, and no one understood the characteristics of Wu Kuang’s Heaven Devourer Battle Law better than him. If he said less than a thirty percent chance, it was definitely true.
“Do we need to guard against Wu Kuang?” Yang Kai asked again.
If Wu Kuang were to fail, it was needless to say that he would only be able to fight the Great Demon God for the third time and risk his life to kill him. However, if Wu Kuang succeeded, how to deal with him would be a problem. Previously, with Duan Hongchen restraining him, Wu Kuang had not been able to act recklessly and stir up trouble. Now that he had broken free from Duan Hongchen’s body and obtained the Great Demon God’s new body, if he were to commit any evil deeds, there will be no way to minimize the damage with the Great Demon God body.
The Star Boundary could no longer endure any more torment. Yang Kai is a Void Great Emperor, added with the World Will, it was even more obvious than the average person’s. This great battle would cause endless trouble for the entire Star Boundary.
“There’s no need!” Duan Hongchen slowly shook his head, “If he succeeds, then there’s nothing here that he cares about. His pursuit of the Martial Dao has always been firm, it’s fine if he didn’t know about it in the past, but now that he knows there’s always someone stronger, do you think he’ll still remain here?”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before nodding, “That’s true, I hope he succeeds.”
Although Yang Kai wasn’t afraid of fighting the Great Demon God for the third time, after refining the Eternal Tree, his recovery ability was terrifying. The injuries he had suffered just now had mostly healed, so he should be able to fully recover after a while. Even if the Great Demon God swallowed a lot of his flesh and blood, how much could he recover?
In the second round, both sides had suffered heavy losses. In the third round, Yang Kai was confident he could kill the Great Demon God alone!
Immediately calming his breathing, he tried to restore his strength while paying attention to the Great Demon God’s movements.
Ever since Wu Kuang’s Soul had broken in, the Great Demon God had been constantly struggling and roaring, but now that the Azure Dragon Spear had penetrated his body, there was nothing he could do to escape.
Inside the giant body, one could clearly feel two different auras colliding, intertwining and fusing together, making it difficult to tell who was who. Inside the giant body, an earth-shattering force swept out in all directions, and a shockwave spread out from the Great Demon God.
One figure after another flew up into the sky and surrounded the Great Demon God. It was none other than the exhausted Great Emperor Realm masters. When Yang Kai was fighting the Great Demon God alone, they had all been trying their best to recover, and now they finally had some ability to move. Even the previously unconscious Flower Shadow and Ice Feather had woken up.
Yang Kai raised his head and swept his eyes over the familiar faces, smiling knowingly before withdrawing his Dragon Transformation form and flying up into the sky with Duan Hongchen.
Nine figures, nine Great Emperors, all of them connected with one another, the power of the entire Universe World circulating among them as they quietly stared down.
Gathering strength, waiting to be released!
