After rushing all the way, Chen Rui and others finally approached the tauren tribe. A shocking scene came into view.
Taurens, earth elementals and medusas could be seen everywhere along the way. However, these creatures had all turned into stiff statues. It was not the petrification talent of medusas, but crystal statues. From the appearance, it seemed that only a thin layer of pale yellow crystal was plated on their surface. However, it was this seemingly thin crystal shell that isolated all vitality.
There were also many broken statues. Judging from the fracture, not only the surface layer, but even the entire flesh and blood had turned into crystals! It seemed that they were still a step too late. Glorfin's claws had already reached the tauren tribe. Then, what about Athena?
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat. An ominous feeling surged in his heart, and he quickly quickened his pace.
Finally, in front of the tauren's lair, they saw a broken palace. It was the Earth Palace that was moved here. The palace was surrounded by almost impenetrable demonic flies. The ground in this area was covered by sparkling crystals. Walking on it, they felt that the power consumption had almost doubled for no reason.
Looking from a distance, there was no resistance around. Almost all the taurens, medusas and normal earth elementals had been turned into crystal statues. Only the vague sound of fighting mixed with howling could be heard in the Earth Palace. It was the voice of Chief Tauren, Delong.
Chen Rui's spirit was refreshed. He rushed toward the Earth Palace with the two elite earth elementals. The demonic flies and earth elementals along the way were about to besiege them, but they seemed to have received some orders. They actually made way for the three of them to rush into the palace.
In the Earth Palace, Queen Medusa and Chief Tauren were fighting fiercely while surrounded by several demonic flies made of crystals. They were the spirit-devouring demonic flies that Chen Rui saw at the fountain of vitality. Not far behind them were Athena, Tim, Torre, Lysa and others. There were about a dozen of them. Although they were still alive, they seemed to have lost the ability to move.
In the center of the palace, there was a figure standing still. It was a tall earth elemental wearing a strange armor that blended with his muscles, but there was a strange mask on his face.
This mask looked ordinary. The center of the forehead seemed to be missing a piece. It should be the Earth Elemental King that was possessed by Glorfin. When the 3 of them entered the palace, they happened to be facing the Earth Elemental King. The eyes of the mask suddenly lit up, flashing with a cold and strange light. Chen Rui's heart twitched for no reason when he met that gaze, and his entire body seemed to be controlled by an invisible restraint, causing him to instantly lose the ability to move.
It was this pair of eyes! It was full of trembling strangeness. Chen Rui had felt the horror of this pair of eyes in the power seed of the fountain of vitality and the controlled earth elementals. However, when he faced it now, the horror was ten times more than before! Just a single glance was enough to freeze all the blood in his body under that ice-cold and evil gaze, rendering him unable to exert any strength at all.
Tag and Sog were Great Demon King level, so they didn't seem to be affected much. They rushed toward the spirit-devouring demonic flies without hesitation. As a result, the pressure on Chief Tauren and Queen Medusa was greatly reduced. However, the spirit-devouring demonic flies also had immortal characteristics. Even if they were destroyed into pieces, they could recover quickly without any reduction in strength. On the contrary, Queen Medusa and the others' attack power in the palace was much weaker than usual, but the power consumption was doubled. Now, with the help of two elite earth elementals, they were still at an absolute disadvantage.
At that time, after Dodo suppressed the abnormality of the spirit-devouring demonic flies, he had fallen into a strange sleep and could no longer play a role. Moreover, judging from the strange crystals everywhere, this should be a special environment. In this environment, the spirit-devouring demonic flies' resurrection should be endless. It was not affected by something like the fountain of vitality at all.
Or, it could be called the power of a "territory", Demon Overlord's "territory"!
The strange thing was that according to Glorfin's power level, killing the Chief Tauren and the others was a piece of cake. Why did he only use the spirit-devouring demonic flies to attack? Could it be that he still couldn't use his power? Then, what's with this "territory"?
"Dark Will" appeared in Chen Rui's hand, and the ring emitted circles of power ripples. With the help of the ripples, the originally stagnant Star Power began to circulate again. He felt that the strange power that bound his body was loosened, and he regained his ability to move. However, he could clearly feel that the ripples of "Dark Will" resisting the spirit invasion seemed to be greatly suppressed. Its power was not as strong as before.
Chen Rui didn't dare to look at those eyes again, and he went directly to Athena's side.
"Chen Rui! Run! "When Athena saw him, her first reaction wasn't happiness, but anxiety. Initially, when facing such a terrifying enemy, she thought it was fortunate that Chen Rui wasn't there. Who knew that he actually rushed back at this time!
Chen Rui shook his head firmly. Although he didn't speak, Athena understood the meaning in his eyes: If we go, we go together! If we die, we die together!
Chen Rui's power to break free from the spirit shackles made the Earth Elemental King's eyes shine with yellow light. His whole body exuded a terrifying breath. The voice behind the mask sounded while gritting his teeth. The voice seemed to be mixed with two accents. One was the language of the earth elemental, and the other was actually the common language of the Demon Realm, "Dark Will! Lucifer Royal Family! "
Back then, Glorfin was severely injured by the Lord of Midnight Sun, so he was no stranger to the "Dark Will". The defeat of the Dark Moon ruined the Beelzebub Royal Family's many years of planning to rise. Countless clansmen were killed, and Glorfin himself almost died. He hated the Lucifer Royal Family to the core.
In the roar, the spirit-devouring demonic flies shattered into crystals. A huge and terrifying force suddenly spread. Even the Great Demon King-level powerhouses like Chief Tauren couldn't stand steadily under this breath. They flew backward and fell to the ground. Chen Rui only had time to hold Athena tightly before he was blown into the air by that force. He didn't stop until he hit a pillar in the palace. He felt as if he was in a hurricane, and he had no resistance at all. He couldn't help but be shocked. This is the power of a Demon Overlord? Just releasing his breath, and it is already …
Although the spirit-devouring demonic flies shattered, it didn't mean that the crisis was resolved. At the moment when the breath calmed down, everyone in the palace felt that their feet were frozen at the same time. They were firmly bound by countless tiny crystals. The rapidly "growing" crystals spread up from their feet, and they even had a powerful devouring force, causing the strength in everyone's body to drain rapidly. Let alone escape, they couldn't move or resist at all.
Chen Rui held Athena, clenched his teeth, and launched the teleportation of the "Dark Will". Unexpectedly, their figures blurred for a while. When they became clear, they were still in the same place and were surrounded by the crystals again.
Chen Rui was shocked. He didn't expect that the power of this "territory" could actually restrict the teleportation of the Dark Will! This time, even the last means of escape failed. There was also an example of teleportation failure under the interference of the Eye of Incubus last time. It seemed that the power of the treasure was limited after all.
"Want to escape?" Glorfin sneered, "Even a Demon Overlord can't use magic items freely in this territory, unless it's an artifact …"
At that moment, the suction suddenly weakened. There was a crackling sound coming from the Earth Elemental King's body. A lot of cracks appeared on the hard armor skin.
"Damn Earth Elemental King!" There was a mournful growl from the mask, "Fountain of Vitality! Hand it over! "
Chen Rui, who was hugging Athena tightly and resisting the power of the crystals together, had a thought in his mind – It's really like this! Glorfin hasn't fully controlled the Earth Elemental King yet, so he doesn't dare to use too much power. Meanwhile, the fountain of vitality can enhance Glorfin's control!
Glorfin's mood at this time was extremely angry. He had been using the spirit-devouring demonic flies to absorb the power of the Earth Realm and the troll dwellers' fountain of vitality to strengthen himself, suppressing the Earth Elemental King bit by bit. The fountain of vitality in the Tauren and Medusa's Lair was also sucked because of Glorfin's clone seed. It was equivalent to a source of continuous power supply.
Seeing that he was about to completely suppress the will of the Earth Elemental King, the "energy" in the Tauren's Lair suddenly disappeared, followed by the Medusa's Lair. Although the "seed" contained his power, it wasn't in the real "territory", so he couldn't know what happened. He could only feel that the source of energy supply was interrupted.
After failing to attack the Medusa's Lair, Glorfin only had one elite elemental left. He could no longer pose a threat to the two allied tribes. Glorfin, who failed at the last step, decided to do it himself after thinking. What he didn't expect was that after the departure of the Earth Palace, the fountain of vitality in the troll dwellers' lair that was completely controlled disappeared inexplicably. In the end, even the last fountain of vitality in the lair, the Earth Realm, disappeared.
Glorfin, who suddenly lost all the power of the fountain of vitality, had arrived at the Tauren's Lair. In for a penny, in for a pound. He might as well eradicate these hateful hostile creatures, then try to find out the reason for the disappearance of the fountain of vitality.
As the power of the fountain of vitality disappeared, the resistance from the Earth Elemental King suddenly increased. It almost broke free from his control. Fortunately, it was suppressed by the territory power accumulated over the years. Because of this, these small enemies could fight with him until now.
The strange thing was that the fountain of vitality in the Tauren's Lair seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Even the power of the "territory" couldn't find it. At this moment, two elite earth elementals appeared, and one of them even got rid of his control.
The most hateful one was the Demons wearing Dark Will! It must be the enemy, the Lucifer Royal Family!
The explosive sound on the Earth Elemental King gradually subsided, and the cracks returned to their original state. Chen Rui and others only felt that the devouring power of the crystals solidified in their bodies suddenly increased. The crystals that were originally at the knees had spread to the waist. Not only their strength, but even their lives were quickly fading under that terrifying devouring.
"Tell me the whereabouts of the fountain of vitality! Otherwise, all of you will die! "
"Wait!" Chen Rui knew that it was a matter of life and death, so he tried his best to resist the suction of the crystals and shouted.
As soon as the speed of the crystals stopped, the eyes in the "God-Eating Mask" fell on Chen Rui. A deep voice sounded, "Tell me quickly! Where is the fountain of vitality! "
"You can't tell him!" Tag also estimated the importance of the fountain of vitality, and he shouted, "Otherwise, he will completely control the king!"
A stern look flashed in the mask, and the crystals on Tag's body suddenly began to move extremely fast, quickly wrapping the entire body of the earth elemental. Tag struggled with all his might, but the resistance was futile. He gradually solidified into a stiff sculpture.
Immediately afterward, with a loud explosion, the sculpture exploded into pieces. Tag, who had the power of a Great Demon King, was actually destroyed without any resistance! Everyone showed grief and indignation, especially Sog, but he couldn't break free from the bondage of his body.
A Demon Overlord, even a Demon Overlord who couldn't exert his true strength, wasn't someone that anyone present could match, even the strongest Great Demon King.
"If there's no whereabouts of the fountain of vitality, everyone here will be crushed!"
"Stop! Glorfin! "Chen Rui clenched his teeth and shouted," You let them go, and I can tell you! "
"You actually know me!" Glorfin's voice had a hint of surprise. Thinking of the Dark Will that he was wearing, he then said angrily, "The damn Lucifer Royal Family actually chased me all the way here! Does Midnight Sun already know my whereabouts? "
Glorfin was defeated by Midnight Sun 400 years ago, then he fled to this underground. He didn't know that 300 years ago, the Lord of Midnight Sun had already died in the war of the human world.
"The God-Eating Empire was destroyed by your Lucifer Royal Family. Since this is the case, I can't let you go!" Glorfin's voice revealed a monstrous hatred, "Tell me where the fountain of vitality is, and I can give you a quick death!"
Chen Rui knew that Glorfin misunderstood when he heard that, so he quickly explained, "I'm not a Lucifer Royal Family, I'm a human! Besides, the Lord of Midnight Sun had already died 300 years ago! "
"Midnight Sun is dead?" Glorfin let out a crazy laughter that echoed throughout the Tauren Tribe.
Chen Rui felt that the suction of the crystal began to increase again, so he quickly shouted, "Glorfin! I can give you the fountain of vitality! But you must let go of my friends! "
"Hmph!" As Glorfin was about to speak, he felt that his body began to tremble uncontrollably again, so he quickly replied, "Yes!"
In fact, these people already knew his origin and secret. None of them could be left alive. As long as he asked for the whereabouts of the fountain of vitality, he would immediately kill all of them!
Chen Rui naturally wouldn't believe Glorfin so easily. As he was about to propose the condition of letting them go first, he saw the Earth Elemental King's body suddenly tremble, then there was a crisp sound. It seemed that something fragile was broken.
The eyes in the "God-Eating Mask" suddenly turned white. The white light spread from the Earth Elemental King's body. Under the effect of this light, the crystals on the ground cracked one after another. The crystals on Chen Rui and others began to shrink, and the power that was devoured slowly returned to the body.
However, the power of this white light didn't last long. The eyes in the mask began to tremble and gradually changed to Glorfin's pale yellow. Glorfin's voice was filled with incomparable horror, "Stupid guy, he actually broke the elemental heart himself!"
