Chapter 1058: Chapter 449: Forcefully Slaying a Divinity Transformation (Part 2)

He wore a small blood-red demon robe, a strange smile even lingered on his face.

Yet, at the moment this seemingly harmless demon child appeared, a terrifying demonic pressure far exceeding the Old Devil of the Hehuan Sect and even rivaling the combined might of the Star Palace Saints, swept like a tangible tsunami across the battlefield.

The dark clouds in the sky were forcibly dyed jet black, the waves below instantly calmed, as if even heaven and earth feared this power.

What made all those who sensed this presence tremble from deep within their souls was:

The fluctuation of this demon’s Divine Sense, refined, vast, indifferent, as if already touching the threshold of Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation!.

"What?"

"Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation?"

"This... How is this possible?!"

Ao Guang, the Dragon King, was the first to react, erupting in a furious roar, "Star King, Moon God, how dare you bring forth such a demon?"

He had anticipated the possibility of ancient demons descending, but never imagined that such a terrifying entity would arrive.

How long has it been since it descended to the lower realm?

Endured substantial weakening. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

If it had been at its peak, the demon’s cultivation would be at least Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, possibly even aiming for the later stage.

Such an entity is undoubtedly an elite among the ancient demons, how dare they risk having it descend to the lower realm?

Are they not afraid it might be lost here?

Even the ever-calculating Star Palace Saints, their faces enveloped in starlight and moonlight, instantly turned grim.

They knew the Old Devil of the Hehuan Sect had a trump card, but never anticipated such an uncontrollable variable.

An ancient demon elite possibly at the peak of Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation? This has completely transcended the realm of "utilization," one misstep and it’s truly playing with fire.

Xu Ping, upon sensing the aura of that demon child, was also struck with fear.

The pressure of Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation’s Divine Sense caused a sharp pain in his Divine Soul.

Seeing the demon child’s crimson pupils instantly lock onto the Nine Nether Elder beside him, Xu Ping’s heart tightened.

He could no longer afford to conceal his trump card, and temporarily set aside his apprehension and suspicions towards the Nine Nether Elder’s identity, preparing to intervene.

No matter what, he couldn’t allow this terrifying ancient demon to first concentrate its power on eliminating the Nine Nether Elder.

However, facing this sudden attack akin to absolute despair, the Nine Nether Elder’s clouded eyes, though heavy with gravity, showed no panic or fear.

"Phantom Restraint, All Ghosts Pay Homage!"

His raspy voice seemed to emanate from the Nine Nether, as he swiftly made hand signs, and a pitch-black cauldron, adorned with countless ghostly wails and laments, soared skyward from his Celestial Spirit.

It was precisely his Phantom Restraint Cauldron.

The cauldron expanded in the wind, instantly morphing into a hundred-foot giant, inverted and secured the Nine Nether Elder within its interior space.

On the cauldron’s surface, thousands of ghostly shadows appeared, emitting silent roars, forming a dense barrier of the phantom ghost realm.

At this moment, the demon child, Celestial Torture, moved.

He raised his delicate and fair hand seemingly casually, pressing lightly against the Phantom Restraint Cauldron.

"Pop!"

A faint sound, like a bubble bursting.

A dark purple demonic light, condensed to the extreme and imbued with the essence of annihilation and voidness, seemed to traverse space, directly imprinting upon the cauldron’s body.

"Boom!"

The phantom ghost realm barrier twisted violently, the countless ghostly shapes emitted soul-wrenching screeches, as though on the verge of collapse! The cauldron quivered intensely, producing a humming sound of unbearable stress.

Yet it managed to block it.

Nine Nether Elder inside the cauldron, his ghostly form fluctuated, his aura slightly chaotic, but evidently not severely injured.

His eyes showed no sign of relief, but rather increased vigilance.

That was merely the first wave of attack.

Seeing this, Celestial Torture’s strange smile grew broader, a hint of cat-and-mouse amusement and interest flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting, your little cauldron... is indeed quite a treasure." His voice crisp but with a spine-chilling coldness, "Let’s see how long it can protect you."

His words had barely fallen when he waved his little hand repeatedly, streams of demonic light far more fierce and sinister than before poured down like a violent storm.

Some eroding the Divine Soul, some distorting space, some evoking the Heart Demon... The attacks were cunning and ruthless, far surpassing the Old Devil of the Hehuan Sect!

The Nine Nether Elder was instantly beset with peril, relying solely on the Phantom Restraint Cauldron to arduously hold on, occasionally counterattacking with ghostly Divine Techniques, but unable to pose a substantive threat to Celestial Torture.

Xu Ping’s heart sank, maneuvering the Puppet Array, intending to break free from the Old Devil of the Hehuan Sect, to aid the Nine Nether Elder.

"Boy, where do you think you’re going?"

The Old Devil’s sinister laugh echoed, his demonic body flickered, once more obstructing Xu Ping’s path, around him the Earth Element Puppet radiated brightly,

"Don’t you think it’s time we settled our score?"

This person had thwarted his plans multiple times, now he wished to settle things properly.

Even if he couldn’t kill him, as long as he stalled him, it would suffice.

Once Celestial Torture was done, it would spell the end for this boy.

Xu Ping’s gaze turned icy, knowing he couldn’t aid the Nine Nether Elder without first disposing of this obstacle.

"In that case..."

Xu Ping’s eyes surged with killing intent, "Then you shall perish first!"

He held back no longer!

"Buzz!"

Four metallic figures far more massive and daunting than the previous ten Tier Four Middle-grade Puppets, exuding a suffocating pressure, abruptly flew out from his Storage Ring, instantly replacing the original puppets, merging into the array!

Four Fourth-rank Top-grade Puppets!

With these four top-grade puppets as the core, supplemented by the remaining six Fourth Rank Middle Grade puppets, the reformed Puppet Array saw its pressure soar!
