Dodging the flying axe, Zheng Yichen swung the black spear in his hand. The soul of the Wolf God, now devoid of the ability to resist, was light enough not to affect Zheng Yichen’s movents. The Bull God, having taken a hit from two Red Star bullets, sustained so flesh wounds.
It has to be said that Supre Demons in their true form are indeed formidable. The power of the Red Star bullets was already very potent. Although they were just test products and the Red Star Rocks integrated into them could not fully react, their power was still not to be underestimated.
But the Supre Demons, relying on their Supre Demon bodies, resisted the blows. The Wolf God’s head sustained a hit from Zheng Yichen’s Demonic Abyss Seven Kills. Though the attack was not as powerful as it was in its forr state, it was only enough to smash down the head.
Anything else would have been reduced to ashes on impact.
To deal with a Supre Demon, a weapon that can keep up with their bodies is needed. If only he had taken the Supre Demon Weapon from Lin Yaoyao or Qi Xiangyun beforehand. The fishing rod was not lacking in strength, but at the end of the day, it was a blunt instrunt. Had it been a Supre Demon Weapon, he might have been able to split the Wolf God with a single strike.
Glancing at the soul of the Wolf God hanging on the black spear, perhaps this was just right? If he had killed the Wolf God outright, it wouldn’t have been so easy to capture the soul of a Supre Demon.
The rampaging Bull God pursued Zheng Yichen, who quickly retreated. He wouldn’t go head-to-head with the Bull God before taking care of the Wolf God. As for how long that would take, it wouldn’t be too long, as the Power of Death eroded the Wolf God’s soul, weakening it.
Moreover, Zheng Yichen realized that he had overlooked an important point—his extraordinary abilities were effective against living beings and against souls as well. He had previously used it on the soul fire of a Skeleton Soldier, and now that soul fire had beco the soul of a Supre Demon.
The souls of Supre Demons had a strong ability to resist. Had it not been for the Power of Death binding the soul of the Wolf God, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to extract the soul of a Supre Demon.
Now, the soul of the Wolf God faced the dual impact of his extraordinary ability, Soul Devour, and the Power of Death.
Because of the Asura Battle Intent and the threat he posed to Supre Demons, the Bull God was in a state of utter commitnt to a fight to the death with Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen could feel the Wolf God’s soul rapidly weakening. Once it weakened to a certain extent, it would be as if it were locked by blood.
Soul Devour continued to work, but its effect on weakening the Supre Demon’s soul slowed down. Not ineffective, just slow!
That ant even without the restriction of the Power of Death, he could completely annihilate a Supre Demon with Soul Devour; it would just take more ti and would require a premise that allowed control over the Supre Demon’s soul.
At the current rate, Soul Devour alone would take a long ti to completely erase a Supre Demon’s soul, at least ten minutes. With the Power of Death’s assistance, ten minutes was shortened to less than one minute.
But the shortening of this ti did not an that Zheng Yichen’s Soul Devour worked faster, it was still the sa. It was just that the Power of Death made the soul of the Supre Demon ’age’ faster, approaching the state of natural death, which greatly enhanced the impact of Soul Devour.
As for the feedback from devouring the soul of a Supre Demon, Zheng Yichen had no imdiate tangible feeling, but there would definitely be changes. What exactly they were, he would have to feel later, as changes to the soul were always very subtle.
As ti passed, the soul of the Wolf God beca hollow, losing its original color and turning into sothing like the negative of a photograph. In the final act of Soul Devour, the hollow soul of the Wolf God completely vanished into thin air.
At this mont, Zheng Yichen’s thermal vision, which had been on the entire ti, saw a space with no ’temperature’ at all—a vacuum. This vacuum area was in an irregular shape, like a hole left in the ground where a tree had been uprooted.
And this ’vacuum’ area didn’t remain long before it was rapidly filled in. The entity that should have occupied that space was gone for good.
Zheng Yichen had so clarification. Supre Demons existed in this world in a rooted form. Their immortality stemd from this rooting. As long as the root remained, the Supre Demon would not die. And the soil nad ’world’ was clearly not sothing that could be dug up by ordinary ans.
Unable to dig up this ’soil’, the most he could do was chop down the tree above the roots, but as long as the roots existed, a new tree would eventually grow back in the sa spot.
Zheng Yichen was unable to dig up the world’s soil and forcibly uproot the tree, but his extraordinary abilities allowed him to drain the tree’s roots, while the Power of Death could rot the roots, thereby rendering them utterly useless.
With the related roots gone, the corresponding Supre Demons naturally disappeared into thin air, even dying without a sound...
Zheng Yichen had thought that the death of a Supre Demon would trigger so abnormal phenona, right? Like the heavens and earth lanting, or so kind of intense energy outburst. But what he witnessed was a very quiet disappearance.
The vacuum seen through his thermal vision might be fierce tremors on another plane, but in the normal reality, it seed that there was nothing impactful.
The frenzied Bull God stopped, its battle intent stirred by Asura Battle Intent quickly waned. With considerable unrest, it locked its gaze onto Zheng Yichen, "You... Did you really kill the Wolf God?"
```
As a fellow Supre Demon, It sensed that the Wolf God’s Origin of Supre Demon had completely dissipated, not just obscured by dust.
Not only that, but It also felt the ’integrity’ of the other Supre Demons decrease, as if a pillar was removed from a building. Although the building would not collapse because of this, it no longer possessed its original unbreakable solidity.
A building that once could withstand earthquakes might now collapse or suffer further damage from the threat of one, simply because it lacked that one pillar.
Could it be... the real death of a Supre Demon had such a significant impact on them? At that ti, they did not think to utterly destroy the Battle Maniac Asura. Instead, they let the Battle Maniac Asura’s essence be obscured by dust, thereby avoiding these issues they were unaware of from various aspects.
After all, there had been no real deaths among the Supre Demons since their creation.
Now, there was a precedent.
The unsettling feeling of impending doom that the loss of that pillar brought forth sobered up the Bull God. The pillars once lost would not reappear; Their immortality persisted, but it was no longer the ’absolute immortality’ of the past. Killing a Supre Demon remained a trendous challenge, but with a precedent set, it was no longer impossible.
"Yes, the feeling is not bad!" Zheng Yichen grinned, having devoured part of a Supre Demon’s soul. He hadn’t felt any changes in his own condition, but at least that sense of ntal frenzy had lessened. No, not lessened, rather his resistance to it had improved.
After a brief silence, the Bull God suddenly erupted into action, its body shrinking in size as countless blood lines burst forth from its body. It was trying to escape!
Facing an entity that had truly slain a Supre Demon, the Bull God, an ancient one of its kind, had no will to resist. It worried more about eting its end in the sa place. As for the aftermath of escape... that was simple, join all the other Supre Demons and thoroughly put Zheng Yichen to death.
At least, Zheng Yichen had not shown the power to absolutely overwhelm a Supre Demon. There was still a chance!
What followed would be a matter of filling the gap. With a Wolf God dead, the Supre Demons were no longer ’complete’. The missing pillar would not regrow, but they could replace it with a new one, thus restoring completeness. As for a suitable candidate...
The Bull God had set its sights on Liu Hongzhao. Although previously It considered controlling the latter with a puppet curse, that option was no longer viable. But filling the position would have to wait until after Zheng Yichen’s death. As for the new candidate, Liu Hongzhao, none was more suitable than her.
They could carve out a portion of their power to forcibly nurture a ’Supre Demon’, but the quality of such a pillar would not be high. Since it was a pillar for replacent, naturally high quality was required, not to cause trouble for themselves, but to maintain the original existence of the Supre Demons.
As for Liu Hongzhao seeking revenge afterward... whatever, there were countless feuds among the Supre Demons but to this day, none had died at the hands of their own kind. Once Liu Hongzhao truly completed the replacent, even if she beca a Supre Demon that truly sheltered the human race, that would be that.
The other Supre Demons would rely lose a plaything that could entertain for a very, very long ti. But the chessboard would not disappear; in fact, so might find this kind of confrontation and scheming even more enjoyable.
Under the threat that affected their own existence, Bull God’s mind worked very fast. Its ancient wisdom allowed It to quickly clarify the next steps to be taken and how to solve the problems, but all of this was predicated on Its successful escape!
It expended a great deal of Supre Demon Blood to create a Curse object. Those blood lines connected to a blood pool, which was pulled out from the ground. The blood lines rged with the blood pool, and a blood-colored Bull Demon erged from the gradually depleting blood pool.
This kind of Curse object could be considered another way of using the puppet curse, only that the Bull God hardly ever employed the curse in this manner. This was mainly because the blood pool was sothing that, if possible, should not be disturbed.
It was deed taboo among the Supre Demons. Although such turmoil would not affect the Supre Demons themselves, for a long ti after, any reincarnation of the Supre Demon servants associated with It would face serious problems.
But right now, none of that mattered. If It didn’t find a way to escape, It would likely end up like the Wolf God.
"Hey— are you really going to run? I’m out of strength," Zheng Yichen said as he watched the blood-colored Bull Demon charging at him, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Hmph." The Bull God, who was about to flee, suddenly stopped.
The whooshing sound ca from behind Zheng Yichen, who dodged the returning axe. The emaciated form of the Bull Demon reverted back to a humanoid shape, and the Bull God glared at Zheng Yichen, "You’re bluffing !"
"Co and try!" Zheng Yichen waved the black spear in his hand, instantly reinforcing the energy mbrane that he habitually maintained around his body.
Without any hesitation, the Bull God charged forward, curses were ineffective against Zheng Yichen, so It would rely on sheer force to eliminate this human!
