(Author's Note: I went out to run some errands this morning, so the update is a bit late. Second update, third update tonight. Those who have monthly votes, please give me some support.)
The red light rippled like a surging tide, constantly attacking and trying to resist Chen Zong's sword.
But, All Creation? The power of the Sword of Heart Refinement was unstoppable, tearing through everything like a hot knife through butter. It directly broke through the layers of red light's defense and went straight for the core.
The sword energy shattered, but the core trembled, and a mournful sound seemed to be heard.
Chen Zong took a large number of elixirs and quickly refined them. Then, he attacked again.
There was no way out. He had to break it no matter what.
The sword energy pierced through the air, and the six Minor Imperial Divine Weapons also condensed into one, following closely behind.
The core was extremely tough, but Chen Zong still managed to break a small crack on it. Once the crack appeared, it meant that the core's defense was insufficient.
Break!
With a cracking sound, the crack expanded rapidly and spread out.
The last sword!
Kill!
This sword pierced through the cracks and directly pierced into the core. Sword Qi blossomed like fireworks, bringing with it an extremely terrifying power as it tore through and pierced through everything.
The cracks on the core increased, and it began to shatter. The entire demonic hive also trembled, and a violent roar sounded continuously.
Chen Zong was shocked. Without hesitation, he used his movement technique, turning into a sword light and flying away.
He had to leave before the demonic hive collapsed. Otherwise, he might get caught up in the shockwaves and die here.
With his full power, Chen Zong's speed was extremely fast, and he returned along the way. After a while, there was hope for him to rush out of the demonic hive and successfully escape.
In the outside world, there were more than a dozen second-level Void Demons flying over.
Among these second-level demons, one of them was riding a hundred-meter-long giant beast covered in black flames and covered in pitch-black heavy armor. It was also wearing pitch-black heavy armor, and it held a pitch-black spear that was burning with black flames.
The black flames were extremely terrifying, as if they could burn everything, causing the surrounding air to distort.
The other demons of the void didn't dare to get too close to it, as if they were afraid of being oppressed.
The demonic hive shook unceasingly, and cracks began to appear on its surface. The cracks spread rapidly and gradually collapsed inwards.
The fiendish void devils that were still alive were dying one after another inside.
Suppression!
Dead silence!
All sorts of extremely negative auras rushed towards Chen Zong continuously, crushing him, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
He guarded his mind, relying on his supreme willpower to hold on and escape.
In an instant, Chen Zong flew out of the hole that was about to collapse.
Rumbling sounds could be heard as the devil hive behind him collapsed, and everything inside was destroyed.
A tiny bit!
It was just a slight difference in timing, and he had almost been crushed inside. If he had been forced to use the power of the Demon Slayer Token to leave, then all his previous achievements would have been for naught.
Fortunately, Chen Zong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. In an instant, an extremely strong sense of danger swept over him, instantly exploding.
On one side, several gigantic figures emitting terrifying auras were rapidly approaching. The figure in the middle was riding a heavily armored beast, holding a pitch-black spear that was burning with terrifying Demonic Flames. A pair of crimson eyes that seemed to be covered with an ominous glint stared at them.
In an instant, it was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were surging, and countless skeletons were floating up and down. It was as if he was about to sink into an abyss of blood, sinking forever.
The huge spear was suddenly raised, and the burning demonic flames burned even more fiercely as it suddenly pierced forward.
Boom!
It was as if a pitch-black thunderbolt wrapped in black demonic flames had shattered the vacuum, carrying with it a terrifying power that could destroy all things.
In an instant, Chen Zong's mind went blank. Although he reacted in an instant, he couldn't avoid it.
He was proud of being able to kill second-level demons of the void, but he couldn't deal with it.
Too strong!
This spear was full of destructive power, and it was more than ten times stronger than the previous demons of the void.
This was a demon of the void that had reached the peak of the second level, and its combat power was extremely shocking.
Unless he could reach the second level, he wouldn't be its opponent at all.
As this thought flashed through his mind, the massive black spear had already transformed into a thick bolt of pitch-black lightning, leaving a thick and straight black scar in the void as it crossed ten thousand meters in an instant.
There was no way to dodge.
All Creation? Sword of Heart Refinement!
Chen Zong exploded with all his strength, and an illusion appeared, overlapping with his body. The two swords combined and attacked.
With a crack, the sword light shattered, and the huge black spear light still carried with it a destructive power.
Could it be that he had to use the protective power of the Demon Slayer Order?
Chen Zong was very unwilling to use this power, because once he used the power of the Demon Slayer Order, it was equivalent to being eliminated. Once he was eliminated, the large number of demons of the void he had killed before, and the various achievements of taking risks to destroy the demonic hives would all be nullified.
The Flying Snow Pavilion would also not be ranked.
"I'm sorry, Weiyin," Chen Zong could only say to himself.
Although the Flying Snow Pavilion's ranking was important, his life was more important.
He couldn't sacrifice his life for the Flying Snow Pavilion's ranking.
In fact, even if he didn't use the power of the Demon Slayer Order, he was no match for this demon of the void, and he couldn't even block this spear.
If he died here, the Flying Snow Pavilion wouldn't be ranked either.
Then, he could only activate the power of the Demon Slayer Order.
Just as Chen Zong was about to activate the power of the Demon Slayer Order, the Demon Slayer Seal suddenly trembled and released a layer of power, which spread out and covered Chen Zong's entire body.
The huge black spear light pierced through the air and directly hit Chen Zong, but it couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. It was all blocked by the power of the Demon Slayer Order.
In the next moment, Chen Zong's figure quickly faded.
This scene happened everywhere in the first level of the Devil Prison.
Chu Shanhe, Lan Yuanmeng, and the others were also covered by the power of the Demon Slayer Order and quickly faded. They were all stunned.
He clearly didn't activate the power of the Demon Slayer Order.
Why did this happen?
Was the time up?
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, it was only a moment. Chen Zong appeared in the spacious main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Everyone stared at him. Then, a light and elegant fragrance blew from his right. It was Lin Weiyin.
"Brother Chen, are you hurt?" The coldness on Lin Weiyin's face seemed to fade, and a touch of concern appeared.
"I'm fine." Chen Zong smiled slightly, and was faintly touched.
An extremely fierce and murderous gaze swept across the sky, as if it was going to pierce through and tear him apart. It was Chu Shanhe.
Seeing the concerned look on Lin Weiyin's face, Lan Yuanmeng's eyes flashed with a strange color. Then, she swayed her slim waist and walked gracefully toward Chen Zong.
Suddenly, she stretched out her hands and boldly hugged Chen Zong's left arm, causing Chen Zong's left arm to sink into a huge softness.
"Chen Zong, thank you very much." Lan Yuanmeng's voice was sweet.
Her action was too sudden, and her voice seemed to be somewhat deliberate. Chen Zong couldn't help but reveal a touch of embarrassment.
When had he ever been so close to someone?
As Lan Yuanmeng hugged Chen Zong's left arm and spoke in a sweet voice, she deliberately glanced at Lin Weiyin with a clear provocation.
Lin Weiyin's expression couldn't help but turn cold. She said coldly, "Lan Yuanmeng, what are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious what I'm doing?" Lan Yuanmeng raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Zong again. The heat in her eyes seemed to be able to melt gold and iron. "Chen Zong saved my life in the Demon Prison. He has saved my life, and the Blue Star Association is also indebted to him. I have nothing to repay him, but I can only repay him with my body."
In the main hall, many people looked at each other, completely unable to understand what was going on.
How did this bumpkin from some remote star get the favor of a beauty as soon as he returned from the Demon Prison?
This Lan Yuanmeng was the president of the Blue Star Association. Together with Lin Weiyin, they were known as the two beauties of the Second Town Suppression City. Although her words and actions were usually bold and her clothes were hot, they had never heard of her favoring anyone.
The black-clothed youth Li Jin's face was ashen. His eyes flashed with an extremely sharp blade light. An astonishing chill spread out from his body and spread all around, as if tearing everything apart.
"President Lan, please don't joke around." Chen Zong's left arm shook slightly, and with a very subtle force, he pulled his arm out of Lan Yuanmeng's embrace.
Chen Zong wanted to pull his arm out, but Lan Yuanmeng subconsciously tightened her grip. In this way, in the process of pulling his arm out, it was inevitable that there would be some friction. This feeling immediately made Lan Yuanmeng's cheeks blush. Her eyes rippled like spring water, almost overflowing. Many men's hearts were beating wildly.
Chen Zong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He could clearly feel that kind of touch.
However, Chen Zong's sword heart was tenacious, and the embarrassment only flashed by.
Chen Zong pulled his arm out, and Lan Yuanmeng didn't reach out to hug him again. The blush on her cheeks quickly disappeared and returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. However, there was still a trace of strange aura in the air.
It was very complicated and gave people a headache.
"I'm very happy that most of you can come back alive." The old man at the Soul Conduit Realm appeared once more. His voice resounded, and it carried an indescribable charm as it entered into everyone's ears. Instantly, the strange aura within the hall vanished into nothingness. "But it's still very regretful because some people will never be able to return."
Indeed, more than thirty people didn't come back, which meant that they had died in the First Layer of Demon Prison. The loss was much greater than before.
People couldn't help but feel sorry for them.
"Now, those who activated the protective power of the Demon Extermination Token and left are eliminated. All your achievements are not counted." The elder was silent for ten breaths, and then said again, "Those who have been eliminated, please stand on the left."
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Soon, most people stood on the left.
Only a few people didn't move, because these people didn't activate the protective power of the Demon Extermination Token and leave.
For example, Chen Zong, Chu Shanhe, Lan Yuanmeng, and the others.
Basically, each of the thirteen forces had one person. Some forces that were less powerful than the thirteen forces also had one person. Altogether, there were eighteen people.
