Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 489: An Mie Sets Out to the Fourth Layer to Kill

Chapter 489: An Mie Sets Out to the Fourth Layer to Kill

One day later.

Third layer.

High in the sky, various types of energy—different in color and nature—collided and intertwined in a wild frenzy.

On the ground, Demon Suppression Guards and demon forces were locked in intense combat, fighting to the death.

But everyone knew—the outcome of this battle hinged on the clash between the true powerhouses in the sky.

If the Demon Suppression Generals triumphed, the Demon Suppression Guards would win.

If the Great Demons prevailed, the demons would seize victory.

Boom!

The Dragon-Elephant Dharma Manifestation reversed the stars in the heavens.

The Azure Lotus Dharma Manifestation struck down with boundless lotus leaves.

After unleashing these Dharma Manifestation techniques, both Zhang Longxiang and Tang Jinglong turned pale.

It was clear they had expended massive energy to unleash such terrifying power.

At that moment, the Fifth Great Demon, An Wu, was struggling under Shi Tian’s relentless assault, unable to spare the focus to defend.

With a deafening roar, An Wu was struck by the two Dharma Manifestation techniques and plummeted from the sky, crashing into the earth.

Countless demon soldiers below were instantly smashed into pulp by the overwhelming weight of their revered Great Demon.

Pffft.

In the massive crater, An Wu coughed up a mouthful of blood, his aura waning as he forced himself to stand.

In the air, An Mie and An Chen saw this scene and were filled with a mix of fury and panic.

They were now surrounded by Zhang Longxiang, Shi Tian, Tang Jinglong, Lang Ben, and Yuan Tai.

Five massive Dharma Manifestations surged with power, unleashing devastating techniques in rotation.

Some focused on intercepting, others on suppression, others on offense. Some maintained the flow of spiritual energy and blood, while others provided pills and talismans.

These five Demon Suppression Generals coordinated with flawless precision.

Clearly, they had rehearsed this very formation long before the battle!

“Kill the Fifth Great Demon first!”

Shi Tian roared.

The Purple-Gold Lion Dharma Manifestation bellowed thunderously.

A burst of divine light erupted like a polar beam, slicing through the heavens.

Zhang Longxiang and Tang Jinglong nodded and charged in.

The Dragon-Elephant and Azure Lotus Manifestations surged behind them.

Three generals. Three earth-shaking Dharma Manifestations. All rushed toward the Fifth Great Demon, An Wu!

An Wu’s pupils shrank sharply. “Help me! Save me, now!”

His authority power had already been depleted in the battles of the previous days.

As a newly ascended Great Demon, the amount of authority power he could wield naturally couldn’t compare to veterans like An Mie or An Chen.

Over the last few days, Zhang Longxiang and the others had constantly targeted him.

They clearly saw him as the weakest—easiest to break.

Now, battered and worn, if he took another full-force hit from Shi Tian, Zhang Longxiang, and Tang Jinglong—

He’d likely die on the spot!

An Mie’s expression shifted. He immediately stirred his authority power, and his eight tentacles swelled thick and powerful as he surged forward to save his ally.

But Yuan Tai and Lang Ben gave up blocking An Chen and instead intercepted An Mie directly.

The Star-Plucking Ape and Howling Moon Wolf Manifestations erupted at once.

Even though the two monster kings had expended tremendous blood essence in the past days,

Even though they were covered in wounds,

They still stood tall and indomitable, like ancient titans—unshakable and unyielding.

“Your opponent is us,” Lang Ben said with a twisted grin.

They were injured—but compared to An Wu, it was nothing more than a scratch.

If a little pain could buy the death—or even capture—of a Great Demon, that would be a feat for the ages.

They would surely receive a monumental reward from the Will of Heaven!

“Damn it!”

“You monster clans and humans have grudges between you!”

“Why are you helping them so much?!”

An Mie roared in fury.

His eight tentacles lashed out like thunder.

The Star-Plucking Ape and Howling Moon Wolf Dharma Manifestations immediately began to evade. If they couldn’t dodge, they blocked.

As long as they could keep An Mie tied down here, their mission would be complete.

Yuan Tai said calmly, “No matter how deep the grudges between the monster clan and the human clan, they’ll never compare to our hatred of the demon race.”

“When it comes to right and wrong on this scale, we know what must be done.”

An Mie gritted his teeth.

Five against three—outnumbering the enemy. Shameless.

No matter how strong he was individually, he still couldn’t break through the blockade of these two monsters.

“An Chen!” An Mie growled lowly.

He needed help.

But An Chen simply shook his head. “The Demon Emperor’s Left Hand never arrived. It’s time to leave. If Old Five dies, he dies. Our lives matter more.”

As he spoke, his figure began to retreat.

From the beginning of this battle, he had never gone all-out. He had always conserved enough strength to remain unexhausted.

The fact that An Cang still hadn’t delivered the Demon Emperor’s Left Hand only deepened his suspicion.

Now, the situation was five against three.

An Wu was heavily wounded.

Continuing to fight would be foolish.

Better to withdraw for now and look for another opportunity.

After all, Great Demons had extremely long lifespans.

Worst case, they could simply wait for Zhang Longxiang, Tang Jinglong, and the others to die of old age before launching a new invasion.

He could afford to wait.

“You!”

An Mie’s eyes were bloodshot with rage.

This entire campaign had been planned and initiated by him.

If they simply retreated now, leaving it unfinished, what would the demon forces of the Demon Suppression Sea think of him?

His fearsome reputation built over thousands of years—ruined in a single day!

“Without the Demon Emperor’s Left Hand, we never had a way to kill them in the first place. Now An Wu is about to die—we’re already at a disadvantage.”

“Continuing the fight is meaningless.”

“If you want to keep fighting, go ahead. I’m leaving.”

An Chen shook his head.

His strength remained nearly intact.

If he wanted to fight, he’d fight. If he wanted to leave, he’d leave.

Lang Ben and Yuan Tai wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Saying this, he flew toward the passage, without the slightest intention of saving An Wu.

An Wu cursed madly, “An Chen, you motherless bastard!”

Lang Ben and Yuan Tai just watched calmly, making no move to intervene.

They had crossed blades with these Great Demons many times.

They knew the personalities of many of them quite well.

They had long expected this of An Chen—his selfishness and opportunism.

And they knew: if faced with a situation of near-certain death, this was exactly how An Chen would act.

Everything was unfolding just as they had anticipated.

An Mie took a deep breath. “An Wu, wait for me. I’ll make every outpost on the fourth layer die with you!”

With that, he turned and shot toward the passage.

Lang Ben and Yuan Tai’s expressions changed.

“An Mie is heading to the fourth layer to kill!” Lang Ben shouted. “Stop him!”

Zhang Longxiang, Tang Jinglong, and Shi Tian also turned pale.

Unlike other fortresses, their own descendants and young geniuses were guarding the fourth layer of the Demon Suppression Sea.

Those juniors’ current fates were still uncertain.

But there was still a sliver of hope.

If An Mie reached the fourth layer—

A mighty Great Demon personally taking action—even if the outposts were insignificant, there would be no survivors.

Zhang Longxiang and Tang Jinglong exchanged a glance. Then, they spoke seriously, “Brother Shi, stay here and handle An Wu. We’ll pursue An Mie to the fourth layer.”

Whether they killed or captured An Wu, it would be a tremendous achievement.

By giving up this chance for first merit, they were clearly trying to reassure Shi Tian so he could focus on finishing An Wu.

“Very well. I’ll wait for your news.” Shi Tian forced down his inner worry and nodded solemnly.

Zhang Longxiang and Tang Jinglong turned immediately.

They each pulled out healing pills and swallowed them on the spot.

While restoring their wounds and recovering their spiritual power, they raced toward the fourth layer at top speed.

No matter what, they had to stall An Mie.

They couldn’t let him wipe out the fourth layer outposts so easily.

They both knew—even a weakened An Mie, not at full strength, still had the power to destroy an entire outpost in a heartbeat.
