Chapter 849 - 844: Were All of These Within Your Calculations?
The Black Emperor, leveraging the slight advantage gained from Xiyuan Zhang, temporarily seized main control.
"Enough! Dongbo Yue People, Beiming Guicang! I agree to your terms... Coexistence, alternate control of the Ancestral Shell! The most important thing now is to eliminate these unworthy descendants, so that the Ancestral Body can gradually recover, and in this world, open up the Demon Land!"
After this shout, Emperor Yan and Emperor Qing finally settled down temporarily.
The Black Emperor panted heavily, his face twisted, staring at Bai Pu:
"Destroyed the ’Root of the Galo Ancient Tree’ in the Palace of Roots; arranged an afterhand in the Profound Water Palace to destroy my ’Jade Fall and Yellow Springs’; at the Crystal Throne, turned the tables by destroying the Crystal Celestial Pillar with Xiyuan Zhang... ultimately cutting off the supply of demonic power to the Black Heaven Shell!
"Were all these within your calculations, Gangxin!"
"A master playing chess, sees three steps ahead, isn’t that normal?"
Bai Pu remarked matter-of-factly, "You even comprehended the World Mystery, aware of the Awakened and Spirit Realm tasks. Actually, the Spirit Realm Will has already given a blatant hint, the reward for Main Task Line One is surprisingly to open Main Task Line Two, and the content of Main Task Line Two is also unmistakable...
"As a competent Awakened, it is only natural to plan ahead for Main Task Line Two."
Rein’s face was complex, with a look of defeat.
Leia tugged at his arm: "Perhaps Gangxin’s ’competent’ standard is relatively high, it’s normal that we can’t reach it..."
Salacia, on the other hand, was somewhat elated.
——This is the oppressive president in my heart, always holding the pearl of wisdom, regardless of how strong the enemy is, he can always turn the tide at the critical moment!
Whereas the Great and Small Witches were the most unmoved. They had seen Gangxin stand firm against Demon God Salajael in the Demon Fighting World.
Although the current Great Dark Heaven, due to the increased difficulty of the world, could exert more power than Salajael back then, Bai Pu’s strength had also increased.
Moreover, Bai Pu, through the foresight during the first phase of the main task, succeeded in cutting off the source of demonic power for the Three Great Demon Emperors! Having gained the upper hand.
Originally, [Ultimate Demon Hunt] was an S-level Golden Side Task.
Because under normal circumstances, the awoken had to face:
Green Emperor owning the "Root of the Galo Ancient Tree," Black Emperor owning "Jade Fall and Yellow Springs," Emperor Yan owning "Land of Crystals," with the Black Heaven Shell under the alternating control of the Three Great Demon Emperors.
Supported by the source of demonic power, the demonic power of the Demon Emperors was almost inexhaustible! Combined with the shell strength of the Great Dark Heaven, it was nearly at the level of Two-Star, Three-Star King, equivalent to an invincible existence in the Awakened World.
But under Bai Pu’s operation, now the only challenge is the Three Great Demon Emperors + Black Heaven Shell after losing the source of demonic power.
Note, it’s not facing the three great demon emperors simultaneously.
The Three Great Demon Emperors take turns on the battlefield.
At this moment, the actual difficulty should drop to the level of an A-level Golden Side Task.
According to Bai Pu’s estimate, a demon emperor without a source of demonic power might still be stronger than Beiming Jihu but limited in strength.
Combined with the strength of the Black Heaven Shell, it’s barely at the level of a One-star King.
"I understand now..."
The Black Emperor slowly opened his mouth, "Gangxin, your calculation is indeed good. I thought I was using the Expedition Team, winning the battle of the three emperors. Unexpectedly, you turned the tables on me, leading to the current situation.
"However, even so, can you really win?"
Behind the Black Emperor, the totem of the White Tiger Oath shone brightly!
On the surface of the Great Dark Heaven, demonic power circulated, the originally obsidian-like shell, now coated with a layer of ethereal water waves.
The Black Emperor coldly said, "Since the source of demonic power is lost, it’s impossible to create Demon Land through the Town Domain... then I will defeat you with force, absorb you! You will become my most loyal demon followers, fighting for me!
"For the masses, this is an even more tragic end——being absorbed by my Town Domain would be a momentary thing, painless.
"But now, they have to endure the fear, chaos, disasters, and... slaughter brought by war!"
The Black Emperor raised his hand, spell light surged, and waves of demonic power burst forth from the ground!
Spell Demon Technique: Earth Spring Celestial Surge!
Everyone dodged, but there were still a few weaker Ghost Warriors hit by the water wave demonic power.
No matter how these Ghost Warriors used defensive sword skills, spiritual power body protection made no difference, the water wave demonic power penetrated their spiritual power defense effortlessly!
Oddly, the water wave demonic power, after penetrating the spiritual power defense, did not kill; instead, it poured into the bodies of these few Ghost Warriors through their seven orifices.
The Black Emperor coldly chuckled, inscribing spells with his hands. As the light brightened, those few Ghost Warriors stiffened, their eyes turned red, and they turned to attack their former companions!
These demon followers looked terrified, their expressions twisted, shouting "Get out of the way" "I’ve been controlled" and the like, but their actions were increasingly ruthless, each move lethal.
The Black Emperor’s voice rang with ridicule, "Can you bear to kill them? These people are just controlled by me, they still have humanity and consciousness. As long as I die, they will regain their freedom."
"Be careful! Everyone below Lord Level, fall back, get out of the high platform’s range! Don’t give the Black Emperor any new recruits." Bai Pu commanded.
Dongbo Chengzhi looked at his friends controlled by the demons, among them was a disciple of the Cyan Dragon Oath’s Wind Sword Style. He hesitated, unable to do it.
After all, these people were once his comrades, close brothers, beloved relatives!
"Rein!" Bai Pu called out.
Rein understood and immediately deployed the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace True Intent Prototype, enclosing these controlled Native Martial Artists. Enclosed within were also the Great and Small Witches, Salacia, Leia, and other Awakened.
Rein was well-aware that in this confrontation with the Great Dark Heaven, their role was minimal, hardly any threat to the big boss.
Handling the adds to let Gangxin and the main members attack without worry was his role!
"Focus on defense. Killing these controlled Ghost Warriors yields little benefit and could lower the goodwill of the Native leaders."
Rein was clear, the targets pinned by his Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace wouldn’t drop treasure chests, better not to kill them.
Anyhow, Rein had dual specialties in power and endurance, with Leia predicting the enemies’ moves, defense wasn’t difficult.
Salacia could summon, growing stronger over time, summoning Tree-man cannon fodder for these controlled warriors’ attacks posed no problem.
As for the Great and Small Witches, they could use this opportunity to grasp the Mystical Arts in actual combat.
Wu Mingyue’s Jade Tide True Qi excelled in long-lasting battles, Wu Qingyun’s Blood Melting Fighting Qi grew stronger the longer the fight.
Bai Pu glanced briefly, reassured, he focused on dealing with the Great Dark Heaven-Black Emperor.
