From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 988 - 569: Beating Up the Demon God (Part 2)

As soon as these words were spoken.

The other Demon Gods present were momentarily stunned.

To reconnect the Black Crystal Demon Snake with its original body!

This idea was simply... too brutal.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake was originally one of the heads of the Dark Scale, but due to Abyssal Contamination, it ultimately detached from the main body and became an independent entity.

In essence, it and the Dark Scale are actually of the same origin, and since they could separate, reconnecting them should not be too difficult.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake does not truly return to the main body; it simply needs the main body to provide energy. After defeating Hemog, it can use Hemog's heart to separate again.

Of course, this plan requires the consent of the Dark Scale.

And the Dark Scale has three consciousnesses, so whether they can reach a unified decision is crucial.

The three heads of the Dark Scale were a bit resistant, after all, the Black Crystal Demon Snake is filled with Abyss Energy, and reconnecting it would require expending Divine Power to prevent the spread of Abyss Energy.

As for the Black Crystal Demon Snake, it had no other choice.

It only had one way to survive, and that was to seize Hemog's heart.

So now it could only cooperate with Lu Heng, reconnect with its original body, and join forces to take down Hemog.

The Dark Scale was still hesitant to make a decision.

Lu Heng looked back at it and said, "The surrounding environment could change at any moment, we need to strike swiftly, you should understand that."

In this Chaos Sea, there are at least six or seven Abyss Demon Gods, and if other Abyss Demon Gods come over, the situation would be uncontrollable.

So this battle needs to end as quickly as possible.

The red head of the Dark Scale made a decision: "Alright, temporarily reconnect and join forces to kill him."

Upon hearing this commitment, the Black Crystal Demon Snake finally saw hope.

Although they had already split into two independent entities, they were, after all, of the same origin.

If it could choose, it would definitely trust "itself" rather than Hemog.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake quickly swam towards the Dark Scale, connecting the severed body to the scar on its main body.

On the other side.

Hemog felt an immense threat approaching, he never imagined that the situation would end up being one against four.

No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly handle fighting one against four.

So his first reaction was to turn around, exert all his strength to break open the root prison, and attempt to escape.

Lu Heng lifted the Totem Stone Pillar and slammed it onto the Chaos Sea, shouting: "Open!"

The Soul-devouring Abyss opened, combining with the root prison to form a sealed-off world, trapping Hemog completely inside.

Next, the four Divine Rank experts joined forces to besiege the strongest Demon God of the Bloodline Clan, the Blood Crown King Hemog.

Palm, as a plant-type Demon God, indeed had weak offensive capabilities, but it therefore showcased extreme strength in containment abilities.

Hemog frantically counterattacked, charging left and right, trying to find a glimmer of escape, but ultimately was beaten to death within this prison bit by bit.

In the end, Lu Heng executed the Flying Dragon Hunting Sky strike, decapitating Hemog, ending the battle.

[Killed Blood Crown King Hemog, gained 1 million energy points.]

[Source Energy Level increased to Level 80, All Attributes +9, Agility Attribute +2.7 extra.]

After taking down Hemog, Lu Heng began seizing Divine Power.

Up to now, Lu Heng had absorbed more than three types of Divine Power, but no conflict had arisen, so he didn't worry much, absorbing any available Divine Power.

As for whether Divine Power conflicts might occur in the future, he would find a solution when the time comes.

While Lu Heng was seizing Divine Power, Palm also extended its roots to absorb Divine Power.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake then separated from the main body again, lunging forward to devour Hemog's heart.

Lu Heng reached out and grabbed Hemog's heart first in his hand.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake halted its forward motion and roared: "Give it to me!"

While plundering Divine Power, Lu Heng considered the issue and then turned to the Dark Scale, saying:

"Last time you said, you no longer have any connection with it, its life or death is none of your concern, did I remember correctly?"

The red head of the Dark Scale sighed and responded: "Yes, I did say that."

Lu Heng slowly exerted force on the heart with his left hand, seemingly about to crush it.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake roared in anger: "You said, kill Hemog, the heart is mine."

Lu Heng ignored it and continued to apply pressure.

The Black Crystal Demon Snake turned towards the red head and roared, its roar filled with a hint of anguish.

The Dark Scale, after all, due to the connection of the same origin, spoke up, saying: "Let's give it a chance to live."

Lu Heng cast a sidelong glance at it, reminding: "It is now an Abyss Demon God, keeping it alive will only make it an enemy in the future. Just now, if Hemog hadn't crushed its heart first, it would have turned against us."

The reason the Dark Scale pleaded was because the Black Crystal Demon Snake was originally a part of its body, a piece of flesh that fell from it.

This blood connection was very subtle, like siblings or parent and child.

Therefore, even though it knew the Black Crystal Demon Snake had already fallen into the Abyss and couldn't turn back, it still wanted it to survive.

If a way to purify the Abyss could be found in the future, there might still be hope.

After contemplation, the Dark Scale said: "One-third of Hemog's Divine Power originally belonged to me; I'll give this portion of Divine Power to you. Let it live, you have control over the Bloodline Demon God's Divine Power, which also gives you leverage over its heart. Does this plan work for you?"

Lu Heng considered the proposal and found it potentially feasible.

After a brief thought, Lu Heng added to the plan: "Giving it a chance to live is possible, but it needs to accept my Soul Steel Seal."

The Black Crystal Demon Snake evidently showed reluctance upon hearing the proposal.

Accepting Lu Heng's Soul Steel Seal would mean losing its freedom.

The red head of the Dark Scale detected its reluctance and said coldly: "This is your only chance, if you refuse, then die."

The Black Crystal Demon Snake had no other choice; it could either die or accept the Soul Steel Seal.

Lu Heng had the [Soul Steel Seal] Skill, which naturally couldn't affect a Demon God.

If a demigod used this Skill, it wouldn't even work on demigods of the same rank.

After stepping into the Divine Rank, Lu Heng's [Soul Steel Seal] Skill could affect demigods, but still couldn't affect Demon Gods.

To make it effective, the power of the Totem Stone Pillar was needed.

The Totem Stone Pillar had two divine effects: [Will Dominance] and [Eye of Demon God].

These two effects, combined with [Soul Steel Seal], could imprint the Soul Steel Seal on a Demon God.

Provided that the target did not resist.

Lu Heng released the Totem Stone Pillar, striking the Black Crystal Demon Snake's head, then used [Soul Steel Seal], infusing Divine Power through the Totem Stone Pillar into the Black Crystal Demon Snake's body.

Initially, the Black Crystal Demon Snake resisted with its will, and the Soul Steel Seal didn't immediately take effect.

Lu Heng's gaze turned cold: "I'll count to three, if you don't accept, you die."

As these words fell, the Black Crystal Demon Snake knew it had no choice, and gave up resistance, the Soul Steel Seal imprinting on its Divine Status.

It seemed to lose its soul, collapsing on the Chaos Sea.

Lu Heng withdrew the Totem Stone Pillar and tossed Hemog's heart over.

Upon regaining the heart, the Black Crystal Demon Snake gradually revived.

In this way, Lu Heng gained control of an Abyss Demon God as an enforcer, which was quite a significant gain.

Moreover, Lu Heng's control over the Black Crystal Demon Snake was doubly secured.

Besides the Soul Steel Seal, there was also the Divine Power's suppression of the Bloodline Demon God's heart.

If the Black Crystal Demon Snake showed any sign of rebellion, Lu Heng could instantly crush its heart.

After thoroughly mastering control over the Black Crystal Demon Snake, Lu Heng asked: "Tell me, what Abyssal task did you receive?"

Having submitted, the Black Crystal Demon Snake honestly replied: "Break through the space barrier of the Naru Ascension Civilization, open the black box."

Lu Heng, upon hearing this answer, repeated the task details, and many questions surged in his mind: "Break through the space barrier, open the black box..."

Does it mean the Naru Ascension Civilization is a black box?

Why use a black box as a description?

What is inside the black box?
