American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 430 Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods?
Xu Yi looked around and noticed that there were exactly seventy-two stone pillars here, each crowned with a monster sculpture that seemed familiar.
"Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods?"
A term flashed through his mind.
If he had encountered the complete seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods, Xu Yi would have definitely taken to his heels, but right now, his heart remained unfazed.
For after the twilight of the gods, the seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods had all but vanished.
The twilight of the gods had not only affected the "Good Gods"; the demons of Hell had not escaped the catastrophe either.
Xu Yi clenched his fist, gathering Sub-Divine Power, and fiercely struck at a nearby stone pillar.
To absorb the Power of Time within these pillars, he must first destroy them, and he had also realized that the Origin of the Ghost Nun before him was contained within these pillars.
The punch, carrying the Sub-Divine Power, could pulverize even a mountain forged of alloy, but when it hit the stone pillar, the pillar only trembled slightly.
The durability of these Demon God Stone Pillars was beyond anyone’s expectations.
However, the punch was not entirely futile; the terrifying strength broke the Domain hovering around the Stone Pillar Forest, and Judy and Xu Xiaoyu felt a lightness in their bodies.
Judy took the opportunity to scoop up Xu Xiaoyu and sprint towards Lisa, who was coming to their aid.
The Ghost Nun howled in rage, clearly not willing to watch her precious Host Body slip away.
She vanished on the spot, and in the next second, appeared ghost-like behind Xu Xiaoyu, reaching out to crush Judy’s head. Experience more content on novelbuddy
"Are you really taking me so lightly?"
Xu Yi felt overlooked, extended his hand, and fine Thorn Iron Wires spread from his arm, solidifying into a huge cleaver in his grasp.
He surged forward with a speed incongruent with his huge frame, instantly appearing behind the Ghost Nun, slicing off her head with one strike.
Xu Yi frowned slightly, because the sensation of the slice wasn’t right; the opponent likely had abilities like "Body Voidification." But that didn’t matter; he had a way to deal with such abilities.
Initially, the Ghost Nun was dismissive of Xu Yi’s slice, but soon she realized something was wrong. Intense pain came from the sliced part along with an abnormal Energy invading her body.

The Ghost Nun tried to dodge, but it was too late. Xu Yi’s swordsmanship was exceedingly skillful; even a heavy cleaver could dance in his hands.
Amidst screams, the Ghost Nun’s body was dismembered, and the voided parts could not regenerate. Sub-Divine Power was the bane of such abilities.
The cleaver pierced through the Ghost Nun’s body once more, and the blade erupted with raging Sub-Divine Power. The black-purple aura, like a steaming flame, instantaneously burnt the Ghost Nun’s body to nothing.
Taking advantage of the mayhem, Judy had already taken Xu Xiaoyu away from the Ghost Nun, meeting up with Lisa outside the Stone Pillar Forest.
Xu Yi was not relieved by this; he saw a black "tide" rolling in from not far away. That was the surging Demon Tide.
Lisa unleashed her full strength and briefly surged out of the Demon Tide, but as the demons were summoned by the Ghost Nun, they all moved in this direction, and the rescue team also got caught in the fray.
"We won’t be able to get Xiaoyu and the others out of here unless we deal with these demons!"
Xu Yi’s brow furrowed as he saw the scene unfold before him.
He was about to take action against the Demon Tide when, suddenly, a bone-chilling roar came from behind him. He swiftly turned to look; one of the stone pillar tops cracked open.
Roars emanated from within the statues, as streams of black mist flowed towards them.
Although Xu Yi had dismembered the Ghost Nun, he had not killed her, and those black streams were the Ghost Nun’s Origin.
Cracks on the statue multiplied; as a ferocious dragon head burst through the stone casing, the monster finally revealed itself.
It was actually a child, but no one would truly treat It as a child. With wings on Its back and pupils as if lava flowed within, It exuded an aura of violence.
Underneath the child was a fearsome Two-headed Demon Dragon, which became utterly docile when caressed by the child.
Xu Yi suddenly understood; this child was the true form of the Ghost Nun, the sixty-second of the Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods, Valak.
He was a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected that after the Twilight of the Gods, a Demon God of this level could still survive.
Valak forcefully patted the two-headed Demon Dragon beneath him, and the Demon Dragon charged toward Xu Yi. Xu Yi stood resolute and unafraid, meeting the charge head-on.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the members of the rescue team watched the fight between the two sides with hearts pounding.
With each collision, gusts of wind were stirred up, as if the whole world was situated within the realm of a storm.
The sky seemed to be torn apart, lightning and flames flickering between the clouds, illuminating the godly and demonic figures.
Lisa and the other two finally regrouped with the rescue team, and Ed checked on Judy and Xu Xiaoyu’s conditions, breathing a sigh of relief.
"We need to find a way to leave this place quickly!" Ed said urgently.
The thoughts of those present were the same as Ed’s, but everyone understood that it was not going to be easy; they needed to find a safe place to set up the Array in order to leave.
However, they were surrounded by a dense crowd of Demons. How would it be easy to break through?
Meanwhile, the battle on the other side was raging.
Valak was brimming with confidence as he faced Xu Yi.
After all, this was Hell, His home ground. As the king of Hell, the final victory would inevitably belong to Him. No one could challenge His majesty as a Demon God.
But soon He sensed something was amiss. Those eerie energies invading His body were actually burning the Divinity within Him.
Divinity was His Origin, and once it was exhausted, He would cease to exist.
That is to say, the opponent possessed the ability to kill Him!
Valak considered this and His gaze toward Xu Yi completely changed. Where in the world had this pyramid-headed monster come from?
Xu Yi, however, fought more fiercely as the battle progressed. Although he was using "Sub-Divine Power," this "sub-god" referred to a foreign god.
The foreign god, also known as the Outer Heaven Demon, was the bane of True Gods, and Valak was no exception.
Valak knew that things could not continue like this. He suddenly leaped up, leaving the back of the two-headed Demon Dragon. A flash of sorrow passed through the dragon’s pupils, and then it resolutely plunged toward Xu Yi.
The Demon Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, with energy surging within its body like a volcanic eruption.
Xu Yi’s expression changed slightly as he probably guessed what the other side was planning to do—it was clear they intended to live by the creed "art is an explosion."
It was already too late to avoid it; dense Thorn Iron Wires burst from his back, weaving into an eerie Armor on the surface of his body.
He was preparing to take the hit head-on!
The Demon Dragon exploded with a thunderous boom, and the massive shockwave swept outwards like a tidal wave, with Xu Yi feeling as if he were at the center of a tsunami.
He frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
The power of the explosion was unexpected—not too strong, but too weak, and it also contained a very strange form of energy.
The remnants of the explosion swept over the Stone Pillar Forest, and a shocking scene ensued. Even the stone pillars that not even Xu Yi’s full-powered punch could shake, were now collapsing and turning into stone dust.
Each pillar in this place had once been the Origin of a Demon God. Although most of the Demon Gods had fallen, ancient and terrifying powers still lurked within.
As the pillars collapsed, the sealed energies were released, and a grey-red stream flowed into Valak’s body.
Xu Yi felt a rich Power of Time within those streams. He wanted to absorb that part of the power, but he was simply no match for Valak.
Most of it rushed into Valak, with Xu Yi only capturing a very tiny portion.
This situation was inevitable; Valak was one of the Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods and belonged to the "locals," so it was natural that he, an outsider, would be repelled.
Although Xu Yi had absorbed only a tiny part of the Power of Time, he keenly noticed that the grey Time Divine Authority entry on his panel seemed to have gained a slight gloss.
