Chapter 272: Killing The Demon Lords, The Demonic Dragon Continent
Wealth: 888.88 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals
â888 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals! Thatâs an extra 300 million! So, roughly three billion demons have died in my hands? Not bad! Letâs keep up the good work!â
As Meng Lei continued to slaughter the demons, large expanses of empty space began to appear in the sea of demons. Every moment saw large numbers of demons dying.
Yet relative to the sea of demonsâ endless and infinite numbers, it nevertheless didnât amount to much.
âIâm too slow!â
Dissatisfied with his hunting speed, Meng Lei split himself into ten clones with a flash. The ten clones then each split into ten again to form 100 clones. Then, the 100 clones split once more into another ten clones each to form a total of 10,000 clones!
In just an instant, 10,000 Meng Leis had appeared in the sky. All of them were personifications of his power of divinity.
One droplet of Power of Divinity was spent per divinity personification formed. This meant that forming 10,000 divinity personifications required 10,000 Power of Divinity dropletsâthis was no small sum!
But to the rich Meng Lei, the amount was negligible and completely within an acceptable range.
âNetherworld Divine Fire!â
,000 licks of Netherworld Divine Fire flames burst forth from 10,000 Meng Leisâ fingertips, leaped toward the demon army, and landed on 10,000 demons.
Boom!
The Netherworld Divine Fire burned stronger and bigger upon contact with wind and began to spread like wildfire in the sea of demons.
For a while, screams rang out one after another, causing peopleâs scalps to go numb and their hair to stand on end.
âWhat kind of fire is that? Itâs too terrifying!â
âI donât know!â
âItâs practically unheard of!â
The people of the Beast People Empire felt chills coming all over them as they watched innumerable demons scream as they tried to struggle free of the Netherworld Divine Fire, only to be reduced to ashes thereafter.
The Netherworld Divine Fire was simply too terrifying!
Be it low-level demons like the Little Demons or high-level ones like the Fire Demons and so on, with no exception whatsoever, all the demons that it came into contact with were burned to death.
The sight was undoubtedly a much more chilling one than when they were frozen into ice statues by Absolute Zero.
Ding, ding, ding!
At the same time, system notifications also rang out non-stop while his Wealth increased at an insanely fast speed, sending Meng Lei over the moon.
âThatâs the way to go! Burn into ashes!â
âDamn it! Itâs the Netherworld Divine Fire!â
âIsnât the Netherworld Divine Fire the Divine Netherworld Phoenixesâ inextinguishable flames? Where did a mortal from a material plane like him get that from?â
Two lesser deity-level Great Demon Lords were hidden at the very back of the demon army.
One of them was a fully pitch-black demon with warts all over it and looked like a tyrannosaurus, while the other was a snapping turtle-like demon with spikes all over its body and a turtle shell on its back.
The former was a Dark T-Rex King, while the latter was a Dark Snapping Turtle King.
As Great Demon Lords, the Dark T-Rex King and the Dark Snapping Turtle King were the Dark Demonic Dragonâs most competent underlings. Thus, they had been sent here to invade and conquer Heavenâs Vault Continent.
They had initially thought that conquering a material plane would be a piece of cake. All living beings standing in the way of the demon army would no doubt be annihilated everywhere that they passed through.
Yet Heavenâs Vault Continentâs strength had exceeded their initial expectations. Firstly, more than ten true gods had shown up, and then, a terrifying existence that could release Netherworld Divine Fire flames had also emerged. How inconceivable!
As Great Demon Lords of lesser deity-level, it went without saying that they recognized the Netherworld Divine Fire, of course. That was divine fire exclusive to the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes and was also an inextinguishable flame that could burn even higher deities to death!
It was exactly because they knew of these facts that they couldnât help but become wary!
âHow is it that that human deity can use the Netherworld Divine Fire? Could he be part of the Divine Netherworld Phoenixesâ bloodline?â
âThatâs the only possibility left now!â
âWhat should we do now?â
âOur mission from His Holiness the Demonic Dragon is to invade and conquer this existential plane. Unless we intend to go against His Holinessâ orders, we must kill him!â
âThe aura around that human deity isnât very strong. His combat strength is also at a lesser deityâs level. If the two of us join hands, killing him should be no issue for us. What worries me is the Divine Netherworld Phoenixes instead!â
âThereâs no need to worry! The Divine Netherworld Phoenixes are faraway in Hell and too far to be able to help!â
âThat makes sense!â
âKill!â
After a simple discussion, the Dark T-Rex King and the Dark Snapping Turtle King promptly charged toward Meng Lei. They moved extraordinarily quickly and reached Meng Lei in an instant.
âDie!!â
The Dark T-Rex King roared furiously. Its thick, muscular tail whipped down through the air toward Meng Lei with an earth-shattering momentum as if intending to smash him into a bloody pulp.
Whoosh!
Meng Lei teleported away and vanished from the spot before showing up bizarrely right above the Dark T-Rex King.
The Dark Snapping Turtle King let out a low roar at the sight and shot out dozens of steel spikes from its back.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The dozens of steel spikes shot toward Meng Lei in a swarm amid shrill whizzing noises as they cut through the air. However, just as they were about to hit their target, Meng Lei disappeared again.
âSuch agility!â
A huge jolt went through the Dark Snapping Turtle King, and then it heard a soft whiz coming from above it right away. Without a second thought, it instinctively withdrew into its turtle shell.
Meng Leiâs attack missed, upon which he couldnât help but laugh and comment, âAs expected of a turtle-type demon; that withdrawal speed is pretty much unbeatable. Do you think thereâs nothing I can do about you just because of that, though?â
As he spoke, Meng Lei teleported on top of the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs shell. The Grim Reaper Scythe quietly appeared in his hand, and then, he swung it down forcefully!
Slash!
The incredibly sharp Grim Reaper Scythe instantly sundered the shell that the Dark Snapping Turtle King relied on for protection and made a two-meter-deep fissure in it.
âDamn it!â
Demonic aura churned around the pained Dark Snapping Turtle King and morphed into a hammer that smashed mercilessly toward Meng Lei.
The Dark T-Rex King didnât stay idle, either. His voice exploded like a low, dull thunderclap as he launched sound wave attacks.
Sound wave attacks were omnidirectional, so Meng Lei wasnât able to dodge them. Struck by the waves, Meng Lei suffered a mild concussion, and his mind blanked out for a moment.
âWhat terrifying sound waves!â
A hint of murderous intent flitted across Meng Leiâs eyes as he watched the Dark T-Rex King. Then, he teleported behind it and swung the Grim Reaper Scythe down.
âDie!!â
Slash!
The Dark T-Rex Kingâs scaly armor might be extremely tough, but it was ultimately still no match for the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs shell. The Grim Reaper Scythe could sunder even the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs shell, let alone its neck!
Splurt!
Black blood spurted everywhere, and the Dark T-Rex Kingâs head shot up into the sky before falling and landing on the ground.
The Dark T-Rex Kingâs eyes widened dramatically, completely unable to believe what was happening.
âI... Iâm actually dying? D-dying in the hands of a deity on a low-end existential plane?â
The Dark T-Rex King couldnât quite die in peace. The divine power that Meng Lei gave off was in no way strong and barely reached a lesser deityâs, yet he had actually managed to kill the Dark T-Rex King. It couldnât accept such a harsh reality at all!
âBaker!â
The Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs gaze fell on the decapitated Dark T-Rex King and then on the Grim Reaper Scythe in Meng Leiâs hand. It couldnât help but exclaim in a low voice, âThe Grim Reaper Scythe! Thatâs the Grim Reaper Scythe! O His Holiness the Demonic Dragon, where did that guy get the Grim Reaper Scythe from?â
Meng Lei flung off the black blood on the Grim Reaper Scythe. Then, he said, âI shall use the Grim Reaper Scythe to harvest your head next and send you on your way to the Grim Reaper!â
âYou have too active an imagination, human deity!â
The Dark Snapping Turtle let out a cold snort, and then it actually took off and started to flee in the direction from which it had come from. It didnât press on with the battle at all!
âFleeing already?â
Meng Lei was slightly taken aback. Then, he teleported behind the Dark Snapping Turtle King. A black spear shot forward with a flick of his fingers.
Boom!
As he was simply too close, the Dark Snapping Turtle King couldnât dodge the attack at all and was stabbed squarely by the black spear. Due to its turtle shellâs astonishingly powerful defenses, the black spear couldnât do anything to it at all.
However, the black spear exploded upon contact and turned into a big burst of Netherworld Divine Fire flames that started to burn the Dark Snapping Turtle King!
âDamn it!â
Demonic aura rose from the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs back and formed a shield, isolating the Netherworld Divine Fire from its body and then separating it from its body.
âWhat an impressive turtle!â
This was Meng Leiâs first time ever seeing someone that could separate the Netherworld Divine Fire from themselves, and he found it very astonishing.
Of course, astonishment aside, Meng Leiâs actions didnât slow down in the least. With a grand wave, ten black spears shot toward the Dark Snapping Turtle King.
âDamn it!â
The Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs expression changed greatly, and it instantly sped up and darted into the distance. But no matter how fast it fled, how could it ever compare to the speed of teleportation?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Meng Lei blocked its path and tossed out another ten black spears formed from Netherworld Divine Fire.
In that instant, there were spears in front of it, as well as behind it. The Dark Snapping Turtle King ultimately couldnât dodge them, and all 20 black spears bombarded it in quick succession and exploded with a grand boom!
Boom!
The Dark Snapping Turtle King was instantly engulfed in Netherworld Divine Fire. No matter how desperately it tried to control its demonic aura, it couldnât separate the flames from itself again, causing it to scream loudly as the flames blazed away.
Meng Lei watched on mirthfully, allowing the flames to burn the Dark Snapping Turtle King. Only when it was close to its limit did he finally say, âIf you wish to live, then pipe up!â
The Dark Snapping Turtle King immediately begged for mercy the moment it heard him. âS-spare me! Sir, spare me!â
âThereâs a very simple way to live onâoffer up your divine spirit origin energy and submit to me!â Meng Lei said, âAs long as you submit to me, Iâll spare your life.â
âI... I submit! Iâm willing to submit!â
The Dark Snapping Turtle King handed over its divine spirit origin energy with nary any hesitation and submitted under Meng Leiâs tyrannical bearing!
âGreat!â
Meng Lei refined the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs divine spirit origin energy and successfully subdued the Great Demon Lord-level demon servant.
âWhatâs your name?â
âMy noble Master, my name is Anton,â replied the Dark Snapping Turtle King respectfully.
âGive me the details about the current situation!â
âYes, my noble Master!â
Following the Dark Snapping Turtle Kingâs recount of events, Meng Lei gradually understood the reason for the demon armyâs appearance, where they had come from, and who they had been sent by.
As it turned out, the demon army had come from a demonic existential plane known as the Demonic Dragon Continent.
Of course, the Demonic Dragon Continent was neither under Hellâs nor the Demon Realmâs jurisdiction, much less the Netherworldâs.
Like Heavenâs Vault Continent, the Demonic Dragon Continent was just a relatively low-end material plane.
The difference laid in the fact that the living beings on the Demonic Dragon Continent werenât kind-hearted races like humans or Fairies, but... Demons!
Thatâs right, the entire continent was occupied by demons. They were the only living beings on the continent.
The greatest existence that the Demonic Dragon Continent worshiped wasnât a deity, either, but a Dark Demonic Dragon!
The Dark Demonic Dragon was named Cyrus Frost. A powerful intermediate deity-level Demon God, it ruled over a lot of territories.
The number of low-end existential planes under its rule alone numbered as many as dozens, and its territories far exceeded those of Heavenâs Vault Continentâs Dragon God and Beast God.
The Demonic Dragon Continent was one of them.
This time, the demon invasion was precisely Cyrus Frostâs handiwork because it had taken an interest in Heavenâs Vault Continent and wanted to take it for itself, thereby resulting in the invasion.
