Chapter 548: There Is a Taller Mountain Beyond Every Mountain

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A High-Level Deity’s power was instantly increased by more than a dozen folds, and his fighting prowess reached a terrifying level.

The Sea Demon King that seemed like a humanoid weapon, could show disdain for all warlords for a moment!

The Three Heads of Darkness were already heavily injured, and they were now facing the Sea Demon King, whose power rose drastically. Even if they wanted to help Yang Ling, they were too powerless to do so. As for the Sword God and Chief Elven Priestess, their bodies suffered several hacks of the Sea Demon King’s blade, and blood gushed out of them. They didn’t have enough power to obstruct the crazy Sea Demon King, while the Golden Lion ducked out of the way in fright, and his face turned pale.

As the crowd faced the crazy Sea Demon King, it was only the Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and their companions that still gnashed their teeth and stood next to Yang Ling. They were so nervous that their hands shivered, but none of them left.

The Corpse Wizard King released his Mind Magic Domain, Corpse Poison Domain, and held the Death Horn in his hand tightly, while the Giant Ape King raised the heavy Obsidian Rod and stood motionless in front of Yang Ling like a meatshield. As for the beauty Sala, her face was pale, but she still released many sharp Wind Blades from her fingertips.

What should be done?

Yang Ling looked at the Sea Demon King that went crazy thoroughly and swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.

After he used his blade two times in succession, just a third of his Wizard Power and Mental Energy was left in his body, and they were only enough to use another blade strike reluctantly. What was worse was that he had already consumed all Magical Beast’s Blood Orbs in his spatial ring, and just three drops were left out of the Life Spring’s water.

He surely wouldn’t persist for long if he faced the Sea Demon King’s attacks, and even though the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others were loyal, there was a great disparity in power between them and the Sea Demon King, and they could at most exchange several moves with him if they threw caution to the wind.

He probably could only hide inside the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension for now!

Yang Ling was left without a choice, and he started weaving Wizard Seals with his hand. He made preparations for entering the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension instantly.

Hiding in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension would help him escape the crisis for now, but it would still place him in great danger. If the Sea Demon King repelled the crowd and kept watch here, Yang Ling would surely suffer a deadly surprise attack once he came out. The Wizard Pagoda’s dimension had everything necessary in it, but he couldn’t hide in it forever.

“Hahaha, where can you run this time? Who can save you again?” The Sea Demon King laughed loudly and raised his sharp Ghost Head Blade as he went after Yang Ling.

When the Sea Demon King saw Yang Ling’s grave expression and the frightened Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others, he felt quite pleased. He had sworn that he would surely make Yang Ling taste the world’s greatest pains before chopping off his head, and he would surely let him taste his fierce means.

“Oh, my God! This is the Sea Demon King’s power, what should be done?”

“The elders faced him together, yet they still weren’t a match for him. What should be done?”

...

When the soldiers atop the city wall saw that the murderous Sea Demon King’s power rose drastically, they turned pale with fright. When the Sword God, Great Elder, and others encircled the Sea Demon King, the soldiers cheered loudly, and they wished badly to shoot this demon with arrows and turned him into a hedgehog to take revenge for their dead brothers. But, when they discerned that the Sea Demon King’s power suddenly rose greatly and that even the Sword God, Great Elder, and others weren’t a match for him, their hearts sank.

“Kill him, kill him!”

“Attack Balark, kill them!”

...

The state of Demon Island’s army was the opposite of the city defense soldiers. When they saw the Sea Demon King revealing his divine might, they cheered loudly. It was rumored that the treasures accumulated by the Dark Association for thousands upon thousands of years were in Balark City, and after they made their way into it, they would be able to plunder to their heart’s content.

It was rumored that many pretty women were in Balark City, and after they would break into the city, they would be able to play with them wantonly. It was also rumored that the first warrior to make his way into Balark City would get a chance to become the Sea Demon King’s disciple, and he would be able to practice powerful Spells with him.

The Demon Island’s soldiers that longed for glory, splendor, wealth, and rank didn’t know that their lair had already sunk to the seabed, and they also didn’t know that after the Heavenly Demon Disintegration’s effects disappear, the Sea Demon King would be in a feeble state. They also didn’t know that they had already lost their retreat road because the Demon Island sunk.

“Haha, die!” The Sea Demon King sped again and pounced swiftly at Yang Ling that held the Battle Soul Blade.

Swoosh!

When the crowd got nervous, and Yang Ling was about to move the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and others into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, a scarlet light appeared on the horizon. It streaked across the air like a comet and left behind it a trail of fire. It also possessed shocking speed!

“Foloshar, you are so daring!” As a shout echoed out, a large hand made out of fire strangely appeared in the air, and it held the crazy Sea Demon King. The hands’ powerful fingers penetrated the Sea Demon King’s heart, and as a cracking sound echoed out, they shattered his Godhead.

In an instant, the vigorous Divine Power emanating from the Sea Demon King’s body quickly disappeared, and many wrinkles quickly appeared on his rosy flesh. His sturdy muscles started collapsing, and his face turned pale. In the twinkling of an eye, he became thinner by much, and he seemed like a dry corpse, while it also seemed like he instantly aged by much. He turned from a tall, straight, and handsome youth into an old man with blurred vision. He lost his life force quickly!

There was a taller mountain beyond every mountain. The Sea Demon King depended upon the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Spell to become invisible, and even the Sword God, Chief Elven Priestess, and others weren’t a match for him even though they faced him jointly. But, when he faced the Fire God Raymond that possessed unfathomable power, he wasn’t even able to retaliate.

Ah!

The Sea Demon King let out a miserable shriek due to the intense pain he suffered, and his body became drenched with blood. He was so pained that his body shivered. It wasn’t just Heavenly Demon Disintegration Spell that was broken, and even his Protective Divine Power dissipated, while his soul started shuddering so much that it had almost crumbled.

The Sea Demon King didn’t have any Protective Divine Power, and the scarlet flames managed to seep through every pore in his body. Every inch of muscle and flesh in his body sustained unbearable pain as if they were punctured by needles, and his head also suffered a stab of pain as if his brain was boiling.

The Godhead was a powerhouse’s power source, and it contained a person’s Life Essence. If it was destroyed forcefully, one would turn into a useless cripple, and trying to train again from scratch wasn’t any different than a pipe dream. This punishment was the most deadly one to the Sea Demon King!

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration was an Evil Spell practiced by the Chaos Plane’s Great Demons, and it could instantly provide one great power at the price of consuming a large amount of his Life Force and Soul Energy. After one cast it, he would be in a feeble state, and he might die after exhausting his whole power. The addition of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration’s side effects along with the Godhead’s destruction made the Sea Demon King’s situation beyond redemption, and he had already taken a step into the gate of hell.

“Mr. Raymond.” When the Sword God, Chief Elven Priestess, and others saw the Fire God Raymond that quickly appeared in front of them, they were overjoyed, and they saluted him respectfully.

The Sea Demon King had consumed a large amount of his Divine Power, but he still possessed a High-Level Deity’s power, and his fighting prowess was no small matter. In addition, after he cast the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique forcefully, his fighting prowess because more terrifying, and the crowd wasn’t a match for him even though they faced him jointly.

At first, they assumed that it would be difficult for Yang Ling to survive this crisis and he would likely die. They didn’t expect that the mysterious Fire God Raymond would arrive here at the last juncture!

Ah!

The Sea Demon King wasn’t willing to accept this, and he struggled intensely. His foe Yang Ling was near him, yet he still couldn’t take another step forward. He wasn’t willing to accept this and just die like so. But, he was helpless because his power turned weaker, and the more he struggled, the weaker he became. His body was engulfed by flames that soared into the sky, and it turned charred, while he also got closer to death’s door.

“I can’t accept it. I can’t accept this.” When the Sea Demon King detected that his life force flowed out quickly and that his consciousness became muddled, his cheeks became streaming with tears. “Why? Why does our Sea Demon Tribe have to suffer so many hardships? Why is fate so unfair? I can’t accept this.”

As the Sea Demon King recalled his dead clansmen that suffered a calamity, he was so pained that he felt like his heart was dripping blood.

The Sea Demon King’s parents were hacked into two pieces, and he was humiliated, bullied, and he became a homeless child. His wife was killed by a punch, and the Demon Island sank. All those pieces of memory flashed past his mind, and this was why he hated bitterly fate that treated them so unfairly. He wasn’t willing to succumb to fate, and he kept on fighting despite constant setbacks. He repeatedly challenged his unfair destiny and didn’t expect that he would suffer an utter defeat in the end. He lost and was left with nothing!

“Life is just a series of gambles, and if you lose one or two times, you shouldn’t blame destiny and call it unfair. But, if you lose every time and end up left with nothing, then you can only blame yourself because you are too prejudiced and stupid. Foloshar, you have disappointed me.” When the Fire God Raymond saw the Sea Demon King still struggling and unwilling to accept this, he shook his head, “At first, I assumed that you would get some insights after being imprisoned in the Stormy Sea for 10,0000 years and I didn’t expect that you are still so prejudiced and crazy. You have really disappointed me.”

Putting aside everything, the Sea Demon King wasn’t just a great genius rarely seen in the sea even in 10,000 years; he was still the great genius of Tailun Continent’s plane that might appear only once every 10,000 years.

In the past, after Raymond inflicted heavy injuries upon the Sea Demon King, he just imprisoned him so that he could repent for his crimes in prison and he hoped that he could seize that chance to calm down and study abstruse Laws so that he could one day become Tailun Continent’s true powerhouse. But, it was a pity that everything was just a waste of effort.

“Hahaha, prejudiced, and crazy?” The Sea Demon King laughed bitterly. “Mr. Raymond, you don’t know how many sufferings my wife and children went through to survive for the past years, do you? You also don’t know how many sacrifices my clansmen made for survival, do you?”

“Humph! Foloshar, do you really think that your wife and children that led your clansmen could withstand the attacks of the Sea Tribe’s army by themselves for the past 10,000 years?” Raymond snorted coldly. “Tailun is my homeland. I was born here, and I grew up here. You all will probably never understand how important a homeland is to a person that wandered between many Planes for innumerable years. In the past, I have spared your life because I hoped that our Tailun Continent would get another true powerhouse. But it’s a pity that you have disappointed me. Your character is still as prejudiced as before, and you weren’t able to comprehend Laws further.”

Could it be that Mr. Raymond was always helping my clansmen in secret?

As the Sea Demon King pondered over this, he recalled his slaughtered clansmen and the Demon Island that sunk to the seabed, and this was why he found this unlikely. If Mr. Raymond was always helping them in secret, Yang Ling wouldn’t have managed to succeed so easily.
