After Shifeng finished speaking, Solitary Nine, Lifeless Thorn, and Yan Ya stopped trying to attract Todelya's attention. Instead, they dashed toward Xiang Shifeng's side.
At this moment, only Shifeng had a way to pin down Todelya. If they ran elsewhere, Todelya would definitely catch up and crush them.
For a time, Todelya strode toward Xiang Shifeng, one step after another.
Not only did Todelya's every step cause the ground to tremble, but the mental impact also grew stronger. Even Blue Gown and the others, who were resting in the distance, couldn't help but cover their heads.
"Are we still going to fight?" Illusory Words frowned.
She couldn't think of a way to defeat Todelya. With over 20 billion HP, Todelya's combat standards were even higher than ordinary Refinement Realm experts'. Moreover, Todelya's reaction speed was so fast that even a Domain Realm expert like herself could barely catch a glimpse of it.
Todelya's speed wasn't something that Tier 3 players could hope to contend with. Even Tier 4 players like Shifeng could, at most, hold their own against Todelya.
Most likely, only a Tier 4 Guardian class could defend against Todelya's frightening Strength. If an offensive class like Shifeng tried to tank Todelya's attack head-on, they'd suffer a miserable fate. Even without activating their Berserk Skills, Shifeng's healers wouldn't be able to recover the HP they lost.
When Todelya was less than 100 yards away from Shifeng, it would only take two or three steps to reach Shifeng.
"Connection complete!" Shifeng closed the Bible of Darkness and smiled at Todelya. "Now, let's begin the second round!"
As soon as Shi Feng closed the Bible of Darkness, the thunderous sky above the valley suddenly shattered, transforming into a pitch-black space that enveloped a radius of several thousand yards. The dark valley was instantly engulfed in darkness.
Inside this dark space, Shi Feng could faintly see an ancient and frightening place. Just the aura coming from this dark space was enough to cause the valley's Mana to fluctuate and annihilate.
In the next moment, a gigantic stone door that was several hundred meters tall fell from the dark space and smashed into the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Todelya couldn't help but look at the ancient stone door, its deep eyes filled with fear.
"How can there be such a terrifying existence in this world?"
Unyielding Heart was stunned as he looked at the stone gate, which was several hundred meters tall.
This stone door was definitely the most frightening thing he had ever seen in God's Domain. Just by looking at it, he could tell just how frightening it was. It was as if the stone door was some kind of terrifying taboo. The magic patterns, divine runes, and runes carved into the stone door were all there to seal the door's power.
Just the slightest bit of power within would be enough to crush him into countless pieces.
He even had an intuition that as long as he opened this door, it would be the beginning of all disasters.
"He couldn't possibly be planning to open the stone gate, right?" Illusory Words couldn't help but grow nervous.
This was because the stone door in front of him was simply too ominous. Just by looking at it, without even feeling it, one's mind would be filled with an indescribable sense of disgust and fear. This fear was more than a hundred times stronger than Todelya's.
However, before Illusory Words could continue her train of thought, the massive stone doors slowly opened on their own.
Darkness, silence, and despair!
It was as if all the negative emotions in the world were pouring out of the stone doors at this moment. Even the Shifeng felt a wave of discomfort wash over them. As for the others present, even Unyielding Heart, who had fought countless battles, they couldn't help but half-kneel on the ground, their faces pale. None of them dared to look directly at the stone doors.
"Human … race?"
"No … You aren't …"
Suddenly, an obscure demonic language came out from the stone door. Although no one present understood the demonic language, they clearly understood the meaning of the demonic language.
However, the crowd was still confused.
"I never thought that after so many years, the ones who summoned this door again would actually be existences like you."
As soon as the voice came, a barefoot, three-eyed humanoid Demon over a dozen meters tall walked out of the stone doors. The humanoid Demon wore a suit of black-patterned armor.
The instant Todelya saw this Demon, it felt as if it had just seen death itself.
In reality, aside from Todelya, even the Shifeng felt a chill run down their spines.
They never thought that they would summon such a Demon …
In the endless Dark Abyss, there was a total of 108 Great Demons that stood at the apex of the Abyss. Every one of them was a Half-step Demon King, and the one before them was none other than the Demon Monarch of the Dead, Frobero.
"So weak! So weak! " Frobero muttered in dissatisfaction as he looked at himself. He then turned to the Shifeng holding the Bible of Darkness and said coldly, "You should know what you've done. That book is not something you should possess. Hand it over to me. This is your only way out. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits you is eternal disappearance!"
As soon as Frobero spoke, an unprecedented pressure descended on Shi Feng. Shi Feng's complexion turned ugly as he felt unbearable.
"As expected of one of the 108 Great Demon Monarchs ranked at the top. This mental pressure is most likely not the slightest bit inferior to that of Tier 5 existences," the Shifeng sighed ruefully.
Although he had long since known that there was a massive gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 existences, he still felt powerless when he truly felt the pressure of a Half-step Demon King.
Fortunately, he possessed the Bible of Darkness. Now that Frobero was bound by the Bible of Darkness, the Demon Monarch's ability to target him was limited. Otherwise, he would've died instantly.
Meanwhile, when Frobero released his mental pressure on the Shifeng, the Bible of Darkness seemed to have sensed it as well. Instantly, chains appeared around Frobero's body one after another.
The moment these chains appeared, the Demon Monarch's mental pressure decreased significantly, no longer threatening the Shifeng in the slightest.
"This damned contract! Sooner or later, I will break free from this shackle! I will obtain true freedom! " Frobero bellowed as he looked at the pitch-black chains. He then turned to Xiang Shifeng and said coldly, "Although I can't do anything to you right now because you have this book, don't even think about controlling me completely. I can see the curses and shackles on you. You don't have much time left. This book can't save you. Only I can help you."
"No need. If I believe you, I'll only become your puppet," the Shifeng said, shaking his head and smiling disdainfully.
After reaching Tier 4, Shi Feng had some guesses about the problem with his soul. Previously, he had thought that it was a benefit brought about by his promotion. In fact, he had even stabilized his mind in the real world. However, that was not the case at all. The problem with his soul was far greater than he had imagined. This feeling became even more pronounced after he used the Bible of Darkness.
It turned out that the Bible of Darkness had been secretly corroding his soul all this time!
He had to admit that Godly Items were not that easy to control. They were much more dangerous than Magic Weapons.
However, he couldn't give up just yet.
The path of promotion was incomparably difficult. He had to grasp every opportunity. Only by doing so would he have a chance of becoming a God. Otherwise, all his efforts would be for naught.
It was precisely because his soul had been corroded that his soul had grown stronger. Hence, his resistance to that mysterious NPC's soul shackles had also improved.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now.
Following which, Shifeng looked at Frobero and said, "I might not be able to control you completely, but you should also understand that I can forcibly control a portion of your power when I summon you."
The Bible of Darkness was his greatest trump card for this trip to the Ruined Mountain Range. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to venture deep into the Ruined Mountain Range with his own strength. Even if he encountered Todelya, he would have no choice but to flee.
"You'll regret this! A Demon's power is not something you can control! The more you try to use it, the deeper you'll sink until your soul is completely devoured! "
"Thank you for the reminder. However, it won't be that easy for you to devour me!"
After saying so, Shifeng took control of the Bible of Darkness and erased Frobero's consciousness. He then gained control of a portion of the Demon Lord's body.
He was talking about a Level 135 Demon Lord!
Even if he could only control 70% of Frobero's power, it would be more than enough for him to roam the Ruined Mountain Range's outer region without any worries.
Meanwhile, the conversation between Shifeng and Frobero only lasted for a short moment. As Todelya was afraid of the stone door and Frobero, it was stunned for a moment.
However, as soon as Shifeng took control of Frobero's body, Todelya immediately noticed that something was amiss. Frobero's aura and mental pressure had weakened significantly. Moreover, Frobero now showed obvious hostility toward it. Immediately, Todelya pounced on the Shifeng.
Todelya's mountainous claws stomped down on the Shifeng.
In the next moment, the space around the Shifeng seemed to have been compressed by a hundredfold. Not only did the Shifeng feel incomparably heavy, but even the flow of time had slowed down.
Tier 4 Innate Skill, Heaven Stomp, Earth Rend!
This was the first time Todelya had used a Skill. Previously, it had disdained to use a Skill against an ant like Lifeless Thorn. However, against the Shifeng, it only wanted to kill him.
When the Shifeng sensed the intense pressure around him, he lifted his head to look at Todelya, a smile appearing on his face.
"You're too late!"
Before Shifeng could finish speaking, Frobero, who stood a short distance away from the Shifeng, abruptly waved his hand. A pitch-black flame spear then condensed in his hand. He then swung the spear at the incoming claws.
Although the flame spear was made of flames, it did not feel scorching hot. On the contrary, the spear was icy cold, freezing the surrounding space. Even time seemed to stop at this moment. In the blink of an eye, the spear collided with the mountainous claws.
Boom!
Space shattered, turning into nothingness.
The impact of the collision caused the surrounding ground to cave in. Of the players present, only the Shifeng managed to block the impact and remained unaffected. However, the shockwave from the collision sent everyone else flying over 500 yards away, their HPs falling by tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands …
Even Todelya's massive figure was sent flying over a hundred yards away, leveling the terrain around it.
Meanwhile, Illusory Words, Unyielding Heart, and the others, who had been sent flying, gaped in shock when they saw this.
-49454423！
A damage value close to 50 million appeared above Todelya's head. The difference in Strength between the two sides was obvious. They were on completely different levels …
