After Favorability Is Maxed

209 You Really Make Me Worry

The spiritual tide surged.

The spiritual energy that was locked by the Nine Cauldrons in this Secret Realm gushed out in an instant as the formation below shattered. It was as if a huge invisible volcano had erupted, giving off a faint thunder-like sound.

An invisible force spread rapidly like a ripple, setting off a tide with a crash. The portal in the middle collapsed instantly, and six ancient and heavy bronze cauldrons appeared beside ‘Tang Yuanhua’.

In mid-air, the harmless and weak descendant of the Martial Emperor, He Qingmeng, who had been standing next to Liu Yuan, was sent flying 30 feet away by the Martial Emperor’s punch. She barely managed to stop herself from retreating. A sinister smile appeared on her beautiful and fair face, and her eyes had turned pitch-black.

!!

Ka ka ka ka ka ka.

The hand that she had used to catch the fist had turned into a ferocious black claw. Demonic smoke curled around it and it slowly tightened, making a crisp sound as if bones were moving.

“Demon race!” Liu Yuan was in a daze for a moment before he finally reacted. He felt that it was unexpected but reasonable.

The timing of He Qingmeng’s appearance, her performance along the way, the so-called ancestor’s call, and her persistent words of gratitude.

Was she thanking Liu Yuan for bringing her into the white jade palace and finding the Martial Emperor’s research results? However, this demon probably did not expect the Martial Emperor to still be alive.

Liu Yuan’s shock was not because of this. It was because of the fact that he had felt a chill behind him. It was a strong sense of danger. If the Martial Emperor had not made a move, He Qingmeng’s claw would have been aimed at him!

Demons had no feelings, and only treated humans as shells, food, and objects of conquest.

“Sure enough, no matter how long it has been, the smell of the devil is still so nauseating,” Martial Emperor said indifferently. Before he could finish his punch, he twisted his body and threw another punch. The sound of the air breaking was heard, and this punch even gave the illusion of ‘whipping’ the air.

The waves below surged wildly, stirring up a thin mist. With the flow of the seawater and the spurting of spiritual energy, it gradually turned into a white vortex of spiritual mist.

This punch of his drew a blank trajectory with the mist.

“It’s a great honor that a wisp of senior Martial Emperor’s remnant soul has been preserved for a thousand years and still remembers the taste of the demon race. It’s really my honor, but it’s just a shame.”

He Qingmeng weakly revealed a beautiful smile. Demonic Qi twisted around her hand, forming a long sword. Her smile widened.”The taste of humans is still as delicious as ever!”

Boom!

A ring of white mist exploded in mid-air.

The black and white colors intertwined.

On the other side, Liu Yuan and the others were already engaged in battle with the Three-headed Heavenly Demon that had caught up.

The great formation of the Nine Cauldrons had been dispelled by the Martial Emperor, and the spiritual energy in everyone’s body had been completely restored. They were initially at an absolute disadvantage against the Three-headed Heavenly Demon, but now they had the power to counterattack.

However, they only had the power to counterattack. The difference in strength between the two of them was still huge. Otherwise, they would not have to rely on Chuichui’s running speed previously. Even a Martial Emperor would not dare to face him head-on. The situation now would not be much different.

However, it was indeed much better than before. Although the Three-headed Heavenly Demon had just obtained a new body and looked fierce and powerful, its body limited its own strength, and it could only exert a strength that was about a large level higher than this body.

Previously, Pang Ying was only at the Soul Formation stage, which was the same level as Liu Yuan. Although there was an additional major stage now, she was only at the Void Refinement stage. She was still unable to crush a Soul formation stage cultivator. Moreover, this was a time when the Heavenly Demon had yet to truly adapt to this body. To everyone, the situation was very beneficial. However, they could not be blindly optimistic. They still had to be very cautious and even risk their lives in order to have a chance of winning.

What was even more troublesome was that the demons were in a mist-like state, making it very difficult to capture or kill them. Once they escaped, they could return to the abyss to recuperate, and in a few months or years, they would be a new group of invaders.

Only by using one’s own body as a cage to trap the demons like Ding Luan had done could he truly and completely destroy them.

However, for Liu Yuan, who already knew the true weakness of the Infernals and had basically fought each boss three to four times, this matter was not very troublesome.

Demons also had a Sea of Consciousness, but under normal circumstances, it was difficult to determine the specific structure of their fog-like bodies, and the Sea of Consciousness might also move with them. Only after they possessed a body or possessed a body would it be fixed.

In games, this was actually the boss’s weak point, which increased the critical hit rate.

“Attack the center of its brows!” Liu Yuan shouted and repeated the words he had said on the platform of the Scripture Chamber.

“Damned human!”

The Three-headed Heavenly Demon felt a headache when he heard this shout. He was furious. His weakness had been exposed just like that. This was very fatal to a demon.

In the past, because of the three-headed symbol and fear, no one had ever dared to directly attack its head. This threat was the best protection. But now, with Liu Yuan’s order, the others did not hesitate and concentrated their attacks on its head!

Although Hong Luan’s level was slightly lower, the Martial Emperor seemed to have given an order. Suddenly the two bronze cauldrons surrounded her, and a heavy pressure pressed down, suppressing the Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s strength back to the Soul Formation stage. The two little foxes ‘current strength was indeed not enough, so they could only hide and release their own fox tribe’s innate illusion technique to interfere. As for Chuichui, she looked up to the sky and let out a long howl. The aura all over its body rose sharply, and she had actually entered the strength standard of the late Soul Formation stage or the seventh level without even realizing it.

In the few months since Liu Yuan left the sect, it was rare for him to be the main force. The flames of the Evil Heart in his hands were blazing, indicating that this was a battle of equal strength.

He had to end the battle quickly! Finish off this human!

The Three-headed Heavenly Demon brandished the halberd in its hands, and with a violent wind-breaking sound, it pounced toward Liu Yuan with a murderous aura.

Liu Yuanjin was no longer the same as before. Whether it was his own combat skills or combat awareness, he no longer relied on his body’s natural instincts to launch his skills and moves. After the countless exotic beasts he had encountered in the tomb, he could also use them as practice in close combat.

Moreover…

Liu Yuan looked at the shadow on his hand. A white and slender arm extended from behind him, and the other hand pressed on his shoulder. Because of the surge of spirit Qi, the sword spirit, who had woken up at some time, seemed to be breathing and letting out a light laugh.

She used a gentle force to guide the direction of his sword moves from time to time.

The battle on both sides was just as intense. He Qingmeng’s body was indeed that of a mortal, but she seemed to be different from ordinary demons. Perhaps it was because she was too powerful, but after her true form was exposed, she managed to bring her body’s cultivation base to the Void Refinement stage.

Her combat strength was not any weaker than Tang Yuanhua who was possessed by the Martial Emperor.

The battle was extremely intense. Clouds of white mist kept exploding on the sea’s surface. The sound of metal clashing and the dragon’s roar interweaved. At a certain moment, He Qingmeng forced ‘Tang Yuanhua’ back while Liu Yuan had just avoided the Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s attack. The two of them were about to collide.

He Qingmeng tilted her head and blinked. Seeing Liu Yuan’s staggering figure lean towards her, she revealed a gentle smile. She suddenly turned around and accelerated forward. Her fingers turned into sharp claws, and her sharp fingertips pressed against the young man’s back, close to his heart.

“It’s such a pity. Although I like you a lot, you’re a human….”

“How about becoming one of my kind?” He Qingmeng murmured.

The tip of her finger went straight into his heart from behind.

…

The Holy Church, North Mansion branch.

Sitting on the lotus platform, a graceful woman in a black veil, whose face could not be seen clearly, opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a faint sharp light.

Around the Lotus platform, countless pale skeletons suddenly appeared. They were like a group of demons dancing, screaming and wailing, all kneeling down to pay their respects to her.

“You really make me worry…”
