Chapter 1216: Is That All There Is?

The Evil-Slaying Sword and the Pure Sandalwood Sacred Flame were both nemeses of the demon race. The three great demons besieging Ye Yuan were like dealing with a hedgehog—nowhere to strike.

Fighting three against one, Ye Yuan could hardly harm them, but they had no way to deal with him either.

On the other side, Ling Zhe and his two companions were struggling somewhat against the demons.

The six great demons were once divine path experts; though their cultivation levels were suppressed, they still outmatched Ling Zhe and the others.

However, Ye Yuan's countermeasures were too terrifying.

Both the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword and the Pure Sandalwood Sacred Flame were lethal threats.

Once struck, even if they were demons, they would be severely injured if not killed.

The demon race was extremely hard to kill, but that didn't mean they were invincible.

Especially when facing someone like Ye Yuan, it was truly troublesome.

"The Lingtian Divine King is so strong! He can single-handedly fight three great demons! No wonder he earned that title. His strength is probably not inferior to the Dingtian Divine King, right?"

"Indeed! Look at Ling Zhe Divine King and the others—they're being completely suppressed by the other three demons. If this continues, they'll lose sooner or later."

"There were many doubts about the Lingtian Divine King before, but who would have thought that at the final moment, it would be him who stepped up to save us!"

"Time reveals a person's heart! The Holy City claims to be the ruler of the Divine Domain, yet when the demon calamity erupted, they made no move at all—utterly disappointing! But the Lingtian Divine King and Ling Zhe Divine King stood up without hesitation!"

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot! The demon calamity wiped out almost all of the eight great super holy lands, but the Holy City has remained silent. Could it be..."

...

In the face of such an existential crisis, the true sentiments of the people quickly surfaced.

Ye Yuan had earned everyone's respect through his actions.

Moreover, the Holy City's suspicious behavior had aroused much suspicion.

The demon calamity had erupted, yet the demons did not attack the Holy City. Why?

It was as if the Holy City and the demon race had reached some tacit understanding, each minding their own business.

"Don't waste time with him. Use the Star Explosion Art to annihilate him directly!" Jialan suddenly spoke up.

"Fine!"

Jiadi and the other demon were also startled by Ye Yuan's strength and agreed without hesitation.

Demonic energy surged from the three of them, and in an instant, endless demonic energy enveloped Ye Yuan.

They continuously formed hand seals in midair, creating a massive black sphere the size of several people.

Ye Yuan was directly swallowed by that black sphere.

This boundless demonic energy was unleashed by the combined efforts of the three great demons; its power was unimaginable.

As the three poured in more and more demonic energy, the energy fluctuations emanating from the black sphere grew increasingly alarming.

The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect watched this scene with pounding hearts, worrying for Ye Yuan.

It was easy to imagine how dangerous Ye Yuan's situation was, sealed within that black sphere!

"Not good! This energy fluctuation is too terrifying! The Lingtian Divine King is in danger!"

Lyu Zizheng's face turned as pale as paper at the sight.

By now, they could no longer sense Ye Yuan's aura at all and had no idea what was happening to him inside the black sphere.

But he was powerless to do anything.

With his strength, he would be killed by the demons before even getting close.

"Hahaha! Ye Yuan, if you can withstand this attack, I'll kneel down and lick your shoes! Die! Explode!" Jialan roared ferociously.

At his command, the three great demons cast their spells simultaneously.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

From within the black sphere came a series of explosive sounds.

The sound was muffled and extremely unsettling, as if a heavy hammer had struck one's chest.

Under the impact of the internal energy, the black sphere kept bulging outward and then returning to its original shape.

Clearly, the energy fluctuations inside the black sphere were immense!

"This is the end! These demons are too powerful, their methods utterly inconceivable! The Lingtian Divine King might have..."

"These demons call themselves demon gods; they were probably divine realm experts before! The Lingtian Divine King, after all, can't fight four hands with two fists!"

"Our greatest reliance is the Lingtian Divine King. If anything happens to him, we'll all die here today!"

...

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations from the black sphere, the human warriors' faces turned ashen, and despair crept back into their eyes.

With such terrifying energy exploding in such a confined space, even the demons themselves would probably be reduced to ashes, right?

"Hahaha! Die! What Chosen One? Aren't you still dying at my hands? Explode, explode, explode! Blast him to death!" Jiadi's face was also filled with excitement.

He had been slapped in the face by Ye Yuan earlier and harbored a deep hatred for him.

Though it took the combined effort of two others, killing Ye Yuan still brought him immense satisfaction.

The explosions within the black sphere lasted a full hundred breaths!

No matter what kind of expert was inside, such an intense Star Explosion would surely reduce them to dust.

Of course, the main reason was that the three demons' demonic energy had been exhausted.

They had spared no effort to kill Ye Yuan.

The fact that they could drain the demonic energy of three great demons showed how terrifying the explosions within the black sphere were.

The three great demons stopped casting, their faces pale as paper, panting heavily, as if on the verge of collapse.

Gradually, the black sphere dissipated.

The scene inside was revealed to everyone. The human experts didn't even dare to look.

They didn't want to be struck by the despair of the outcome!

"Quick! Look!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

The sight before them stunned everyone.

Even many demons and human warriors stopped fighting, staring in disbelief at that direction, dumbfounded.

The three great demons' eyes nearly popped out.

Jialan felt that the world had gone mad!

Jiadi thought his eyes must be playing tricks on him!

Ye Yuan hadn't lost a single hair!

He stood there perfectly fine, not even having moved!

"What a joke! The Star Explosion Art is a divine-level martial technique. Back then, the Demon God used it to kill countless human divine realm experts! This Ye Yuan is completely unharmed!"

A demon expert stood frozen, unable to believe what he was seeing.

His opponent, a human expert, saw him dazed, quietly gathered strength, and suddenly swung his blade!

The blade fell; the demon died.

A mass of black qi flew out of the body, shrieking, "You... you coward!"

The human expert laughed, "Haha! Who told you to daydream? What Demon God? Might as well call them Demon Chickens! They're not even fit to polish the Lingtian Divine King's shoes!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How... how can you be completely unharmed?" Jialan's face turned ashen, unable to believe it.

Ye Yuan glanced at him mockingly and said flatly, "Is this the power of your demon gods? Seems... that's all there is to it!"
