When the Demon King unleashed the terrifying Light of Annihilation, ready to annihilate everyone nearby in an instant, a massive, intricate purple Array appeared out of thin air, blocking the area-wide attack from bottom to top.
Without a doubt, this was the handiwork of the Grand Duke, descendant of the Wise Man. At the critical moment, he unleashed his power to shield everyone from the Demon Kingâs malevolent force.
But this confrontation did not end so quickly. The people sheltered under the massive purple Array quickly saw that the Array overhead withstood the terrifying Light of Annihilation for about two seconds before showing signs of collapse. Once it couldnât hold up anymore, everyone touched by the Light of Annihilation faced the risk of annihilation.
"Everyone, quickly move away from here! The Duke canât hold on much longer!"
All the professionals felt a sense of crisis at that moment. Knowing they couldnât resist the Demon Kingâs terrifying magical light, they could only disperse and flee under the temporary safety created by the Grand Duke, so his current efforts wouldnât be in vain.
However, there was another way to deal with the situation: using powerful attacks to disrupt the Demon Kingâs power release. However, they feared recklessly attacking would damage the Grand Dukeâs protective Array, so they chose to flee first.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly dire, a brilliant blade light suddenly appeared outside the battle group, spanning several kilometers to attack the Demon King in the sky.
The Demon King immediately shifted its gaze toward the attacking direction, directing part of the Light of Annihilation to destroy the assailant. But in the blink of an eye, the magic light it unleashed collided with the incoming blade light. The magic light was driven back quite a distance before being completely consumed, remarkably losing in the confrontation.
"Could it be that person?"
The Demon King instantly realized that the person it feared had finally appeared. This marked the battle entering a crucial stage, after it had schemed for so long in the high tower before deciding to strike.
In the next instant, in the direction it was watching, two figures appeared in the sky, one behind the other. The front one was a human youth wielding a dazzling blade of light, and behind him was a female of the Night tribe. Both had an aura of impressive strength, but clearly the blade-wielding youth ahead gave it a much stronger sense of danger.
"Eliminate that man first."
The Demon King spoke in a low voice. If outsiders noticed its actions, they would think it was talking to itself, speaking to the surrounding void, but that wasnât the case.
The sky had submerged into the night, darkness rippling with waves. These spatial ripples appeared not only around the Demon King but also descended around Wang Zhifan, causing him to sense the fluctuations of the Space Law.
"This guyâs showing its true skills? Just as I make my appearance... looks like itâs been plotting for a long time!"
Wang Zhifan immediately sensed something strange. He reflexively activated the Spatial Defense Ability and teleportation ability of his blank belt to evade. However, he found that the law fluctuations around him grew stronger, hindering the beltâs spatial abilities. But the blank beltâs two spatial abilities werenât entirely ineffective, as they relatively blocked most of the lawâs power.
But just behind Wang Zhifan, the Night tribe girl, Ithrace, wasnât so lucky. In almost an instant, she was completely restricted by the lawâs power, her body becoming immobile before being forcefully twisted and rotated into fine fragments, annihilated in a moment!
This terrifying scene not only caught the attention of Wang Zhifan in front but also couldnât be ignored by the professionals and players on the ground. Even if some lacked sharp perception, the lingering glow of the blade and magic light clearly showed the sudden demise of a powerful girl.
"Itâs the power of the Space Law! When did the Demon King evolve to this level?!"
The Red Dragon Lady on the ground was probably the most aware of what just transpired. Her red slit pupils were filled with shock, surprised that the Demon Kingâs power had far exceeded her understanding. At least two thousand years ago, she had never seen the Demon King use such advanced law abilities in the material world.
But the matter didnât end there. Wang Zhifan, relying on the blank beltâs power, withstood the lawâs attack while standing high in the air, but he also lost the chance to escape.
Huge and terrifying shadows rapidly emerged around him, fiercely tearing open the lawâs spatial stability. At an alarming speed, they trapped and segmented the space he occupied, making him feel like he was falling into an abyss despite standing in place.
"Iâve fallen for the trap... this opponent is of a high level..."
Wang Zhifan immediately realized it was all part of the Demon Kingâs special hosting for him. It intended to use the Space Law attack to annihilate him, but thanks to the blank belt, he barely survived the round. Therefore, the Demon King unleashed further power. Unable to touch him directly, it manipulated the surrounding space, forcing him into a predicament.
As for who the shadows controlled by the Demon King were, he had little clue. Only one familiar presence reminded him of something.
It was an existence he had once interrogated in the high tower. This being had initially tried to obtain his soul by signing a contract, and after being rejected, Wang Zhifan had used the Blade of Time to interrogate him rigorously, gaining some intelligence about the Demon King.
