Chapter 850 - 845: You’re Really Something, Gangxin!
Under Bai Pu’s restraint, those Ghost Warriors and Demon Control Masters below the Lord Level retreated.
However, the Black Emperor would not let Bai Pu have his way. He drew a circle on the spot, which quickly expanded into a hemispherical water barrier, covering the entire platform duel arena!
This water barrier glowed with a bluish-green light, beautiful yet deadly.
A Ghost Warrior’s finger accidentally touched the water barrier, and it immediately corroded into debris. But that’s not all; the bluish-green mist traveled up the finger, corroding the entire hand, even the elbow behind it!
Fortunately, this Ghost Warrior was quite courageous, gritting his teeth and severing his arm! Thus he escaped death.
"Be careful! This is Black Emperor simulating ’Jade Fall and Yellow Springs’ with demonic power, which is a hundred times more toxic than the water of the Yellow Springs. Do not touch it! Use spiritual power to protect yourself."
Bai Pu had communicated in the Heart Image Space’s "Source Lord’s Descent meeting" with Mei Xi, knowing the potency of Jade Fall and Yellow Springs.
The Black Emperor sneakily smiled, raised his hand, and summoned three hundred-hand hundred-eyed demon phantoms, which were formerly Xiyuan Zhang’s servant demons—Hundred Eyes!
These three Hundred-Eyed Split Bodies were constructed from Water Element Demonic Power, surprisingly capable of independently casting the Water Element Demon Technique that Black Emperor excelled at.
For a moment, the field was filled with stirring streams of demonic power.
More terrifying was that these streams of demonic power were simulated by Black Emperor in the form of "Jade Fall and Yellow Springs," possessing potent corrosive properties!
More and more Ghost Warriors were hit by the streams of demonic power, losing their defense and evasion capabilities, then infused by the assimilated demonic power of Black Emperor, becoming the slaves controlled by Black Emperor.
"Rein, take over!" Bai Pu shouted while attacking with a spear.
Rein had no choice but to overcome difficulties and continuously pull the newly created Black Emperor slaves into the prototype range of his Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace True Intent.
The Black Heaven Shell, as the shell of the Demon Ancestor, its strength was indeed very high.
It could completely rival the hardness of the Crystal Celestial Pillar!
Moreover, the demonic power driving the defense by Black Emperor was of high purity, further intentionally driven and condensed into a shield by Black Emperor! The effect of defense and smashing energy attacks was stronger than the unconscious demonic power of the Crystal Celestial Pillar.
Beiming Jihu, retreating on the Crystal Throne, consumed greatly; he hadn’t recovered much yet and couldn’t perform ultimate moves.
He could only defend with the heavy sword skills of the Profound Mirror Style, lacking offensive power.
Zhu Que was an old strong competitor, but his strength wasn’t exceptionally superior; his Heart-Burning Style Flame Sword Skill was faintly restrained by Black Emperor’s Water Element Technique, thus posing no threat.
Others like Beiming Mian, Flame Blade Princess, and those Lord Level Ghost Warriors could only protect themselves.
Their presence on the battlefield was to deplete Black Emperor’s reserve of demonic power—fortunately, the power sources of the Three Great Demon Emperors had been cut off, making such depletion somewhat effective.
All hope rested on two individuals—
Dongbo Cheng and Gangxin!
Dongbo Cheng had already activated Peacock Feather’s Demon Power Release, countless fine sword blades resembling Peacock Feathers converged into a narrow sharp sword.
After activating Demon Power Release, Dongbo Chengzhi’s attack power and armor-breaking capability increased significantly.
However, Dongbo Chengzhi’s attack left only grooves on the Black Heaven Shell driven by Black Emperor!
Dongbo Cheng took a deep breath, put away the Peacock Feather, and at that moment intended to pull out the White Dragon Fang—wanting to unleash the killing move from "Wind Phase Sword Intent."
"Wait a moment." Bai Pu suddenly spoke, stopping Dongbo Cheng from using a significant move, "Now is not the time."
Though Dongbo Cheng was puzzled, he had absolute trust in Bai Pu and immediately held back the White Dragon Fang.
"Tsk tsk, Gangxin, didn’t you say the time gained is the key to your victory? Ridiculous that you all cannot break the defense, what do you have to fight me with?"
The Black Emperor continuously disrupted verbally, along with three Hundred-Eyed Demon Split Bodies, and the rampant Yellow Springs Water Demon Techniques across the field were quite annoying.
Although Lord Level experts could rely on body technique to dodge or energy intensity to hard resist, the simulated demonic power of Yellow Springs Water across the field still blocked a lot of movement and offensive space.
Now, only Bai Pu could make the Black Emperor apprehensive.
After all, Bai Pu broke the Crystal Celestial Pillar in the Land of Crystals! That was the hardest material of the Underworld, comparable in strength to the Black Heaven Shell.
Of course, through assimilating Xiyuan Zhang, the Black Emperor also knew Bai Pu’s move required preparation time, and he wasn’t like a dead object like the Crystal Celestial Pillar, ignorant of dodging and blocking.
Simply put, he was apprehensive, but not too worried!
Besides making Dongbo Cheng reserve strength, Bai Pu himself was also reserving power at this time. He merely added Celestial Human Attribute Points to agility, then dismantled the Doomsday Spear into dual-wielding state, gradually stacking layers of "Final Breath" and "Wall of Sighs."
Meanwhile, Bai Pu started calling for reinforcements in his Heart Image.
"Fekalo!"
"Shut up, you should call me Master Fekalo!"
In the Heart Image Space, the Demon God with eagle wings, Fekalo, was awakened. This fellow glanced at the battleground and began muttering:
"You’re really something, Gangxin! Not long after, you’ve provoked a Demon God again..."
"Stop the nonsense, quickly tell me about its origin! Whose divine envoy’s human form is it?" Bai Pu showed no politeness to this shameless Demon God, as courtesy would be useless, instead inviting Fekalo’s arrogance.
"Who says he’s a divine envoy? This is a Demon God!"
"A Demon God? How does it compare to you and Sarajael?"
"Hm, how could a wild Demon God compare to us Twelve Netherworld Demon Gods?" Fekalo started feeling proud.
"I know you have an organization. I mean, how does his strength compare?" Bai Pu asked.
"Hmm...a bit stronger than Sarajael."
"So it’s much stronger than you?"
"Nonsense, on par with me!"
Fekalo grumbled, "This Plane World’s intensity is very high, allowing it to exert more power!"
"Then you surely have a way to deal with it, right?"
"I don’t! Don’t disturb my sleep!"
"You must have, speak up! Or I’ll let you experience the feeling of being ganged up on, three times daily, ten times in three days, never repeated."
Thinking of Bai Pu’s Heart Image Space, with a dense host of Lord-level residual souls, recently even adding several Demon Lords, Fekalo immediately submitted.
"Alright, alright! Let me see...this guy’s face is the weak point! Strike with your strongest Mystical Arts skill using King-level Purple Weapon, and you’ll be fine."
"Nonsense, it’s obvious to any fool that Black Emperor’s face is the weak spot."
Bai Pu impatiently said, "The problem is besides the visible Water Element Mystical Arts, he also excels in Space Mystical Arts, constructing a defensive space barrier outside the Water Element Demonic Shield that deflects attacks! How can I ensure to hit his face?"
