Chapter 1205

"The defense of a God King Rank 9 Stone Demon is truly powerful!"

Lin Moyu saw this and noted that the defensive power of these three Stone Demons far surpassed that of a God King Rank 8 Stone Demon.

Even after blasting them with six consecutive rounds of flesh and blood from God King Rank 8 Stone Demons, they still hadn't been killed.

If it were a God King Rank 7 being used to blast a Rank 8, three or four times would have been more than enough to kill them.

He recalled the information regarding the Stone Demons.

Stone Demons were one of the most defensive demons in the Demon Race.

During their growth, their defense would undergo several massive transformations.

Each transformation would multiply their defensive power.

However, the information didn't specify when these transformations would occur.

It seemed that God King Rank 9 was one such transformation, making them completely different from God King Rank 8.

"It seems I'll have to be a bit careful when encountering God King Rank 9 Stone Demons in the future…"

As he thought this, his Corpse Explosion didn't stop for a second, continuing to bombard them one after another.

The three God King Rank 9 Stone Demons grew increasingly injured. It was as if they were surrounded by God King Rank 8 Stone Demons committing self-destruction; each explosion inflicted heavy damage upon them.

After enduring ten consecutive Corpse Explosions, their auras weakened to the extreme.

Their three massive bodies curled up on the ground, rocks scattered all over. Dark yellow blood stained the yellow sand, filling the air with a sickening metallic stench.

Yet, they were still not dead, hanging on by a final thread of life.

The three of them curled up, tucking their bodies into ball shapes.

Boom!

Another piece of flesh and blood turned to powder, exploding on them once more as a massive force slammed into the three.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, their screams abruptly ceased, and their ball-shaped bodies lost all signs of movement.

"Dead?"

Lin Moyu frowned slightly, sensing that something was off.

Switching to his Undead Vision, he saw three extremely weak soul fires still flickering steadily.

"Not dead yet!"

Just as the thought arose, the soul fires suddenly flared up with intense brightness.

An invisible force surged from the depths of the Stone Demons' souls. In an instant, their soul fires blazed vigorously, returning to their peak.

The three heavily injured Stone Demons emitted an earthy yellow glow. The shattered rocks scattered on the ground flew back, reconstructing their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the three near-death Stone Demons were fully restored, returning to their peak state.

"Is this a Stone Demon technique?"

Lin Moyu realized he still knew too little about the Stone Demons, but instinctively felt it must be a Stone Demon technique—some kind of passive technique.

But now was not the time for research; what he needed to do now was kill.

The moment the three Stone Demons recovered, they immediately curled their bodies, turning into larger, sturdier spheres, and rolled away outward.

The spherical state was both their travel form and their strongest defensive form.

Their heads, hands, and feet were tucked in, and the thickest stones on their backs formed the outer shell of the sphere.

In this state, their defensive power could be enhanced even further.

The moment they curled up, Lin Moyu's gaze sharpened, and killing intent instantly surged.

"Want to escape? Not a chance!"

Boom, boom, boom…

Ten consecutive explosions landed on one of the Stone Demons at the same time.

This time, he didn't spread out the explosive power but focused on killing one.

Earlier, they hadn't tried to flee, so Lin Moyu could attack all three at once, letting them die together as a whole family.

Now, the three guys were trying to escape, and in different directions.

Lin Moyu decisively changed his tactics, focusing all his strength on destroying one first.

Corpse Explosion erupted on a single Stone Demon, its power several times greater than before.

Without even looking at the result of the ten consecutive explosions, Lin Moyu turned and chased after another Stone Demon.

In just this split second, less than a second, that Stone Demon had already rolled nearly ten thousand kilometers away.

It charged into the encirclement formed by the undead, continuously crushing them.

The skeletons, Death Knights, and Bone Dragons desperately intercepted it, but unfortunately, the gap in strength was too vast. They struggled to block it, only able to slow it down slightly.

The two Stone Demons, like two massive planets, rolled into the distance, crushing the skeletons on the yellow sand.

The Light-Speed Lich appeared by Lin Moyu's side, and his body turned into light, accelerating to the speed limit allowed by the Yellow Earth Desert as he rapidly closed in.

Lin Moyu's aura grew stronger and stronger, rapidly breaking through True God, then breaking through God King Rank 1, climbing at a breakneck speed.

In the blink of an eye, his aura had reached God King Rank 9.

Origin Technique: Gather Power!

Origin Technique: Strong Soldier!

The two techniques he originally hadn't wanted to use were activated simultaneously, pushing Lin Moyu's combat power to its absolute limit.

His realm reached God King Rank 9, and his combat power even surpassed God King Rank 9.

He quickly caught up to his target, and the Skeleton King's bone sword appeared in his hand.

Technique: God Slayer!

The sword light flared, and the Stone Demon was sent flying by the blow, bursting apart in midair.

Under a single strike, the Stone Demon was heavily wounded. Upon hitting the ground, it grew even more frantic, desperately fleeing into the distance, not daring to linger at all.

With a light chuckle, Lin Moyu caught up once more.

In terms of speed, he completely outmatched the Stone Demon.

Above the other Stone Demon, flames suddenly flared up, followed by a brilliant galaxy appearing overhead.

The Flame Galaxy Lich arrived above it, pouring down the projection of the Law Galaxy, and blazing flames consumed it.

It screamed frantically in the fire, its entire body burning red-hot and rapidly melting.

Lin Moyu caught up to the Stone Demon, his sharp bone sword slashing into its body, carving out deep sword scars.

The bone sword swung in afterimages, delivering hundreds, even thousands of strikes per second.

At this moment, Lin Moyu fought with absolute madness.

The Stone Demon's body was hacked to pieces, shattering once again.

This time, Lin Moyu didn't give it another chance to revive. Under his fierce sword momentum, he didn't stop until he had completely hacked the Stone Demon into fragments.

A wave of soul power emanated from the Stone Demon. The Origin Technique absorbed its soul, using a portion to extend the duration of the technique and the other portion to strengthen Lin Moyu's soul.

Chapter 1328: In Any Case, Saving People Isn't Urgent

On the other side, the Stone Demon struggling in the flame galaxy had its sturdy stones melted long ago, and more than half of its flesh and blood had been burned away.

By the time the Flame Lich withdrew its flames, it was already on the verge of death.

The Lich was also buffed by the Origin Technique, its combat power greatly increased.

Moreover, the Stone Demon was a high-defense, low-attack type. Facing the Flame Lich, it had absolutely no resistance to speak of.

However, the Flame Lich did not kill it, leaving it with one last breath.

Because Lin Moyu needed its corpse; if it were killed by the Flame Lich, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that not even ashes would remain.

Such good material would be too much of a waste.

Furthermore, once they entered the deeper areas and faced God King Rank 9 Stone Demons, this would be the best weapon.

Lin Moyu walked over, swung his bone sword, and delivered the final blow to the Stone Demon.

He collected the Stone Demon's soul power, confirming its death.

The skeletons rushed over, dragging the still-scalding corpse of the Stone Demon back to the stronghold.

Only now did Lin Moyu have the time to check on the Stone Demon he had blasted ten times in a row.

Its body had been blown into fragments, as dead as could be.

Ten consecutive waves of explosions were equivalent to ten God King Rank 8 Stone Demons surrounding it and self-destructing.

Furthermore, the explosive power was entirely concentrated on it alone, making it even more terrifying than a real self-destruction.

Even if its defense had undergone a transformation, it still had to die.

Lin Moyu returned, making no further moves.

Purple light flashed on his body. After his soul was boosted to its limit, it relaxed, and then shattered.

The price of the Origin Technique had to be paid.

The moment it shattered, his talent activated. A flash of purple light swept past, repairing his soul and restoring it to its peak state.

The Starlight Lich appeared once more; after a brief rest, it had mostly recovered.

With the cooperation of the two Liches, along with the Skeleton King and the Chip-Damage Army, they quickly cleaned up the aftermath.

Half an hour later, the entire battle came to a complete close.

Lin Moyu stood before the completely destroyed stronghold, while the skeletons searched various locations of the stronghold for core crystals.

During the battle, due to the influence of the illusion, the Stone Demons had bombarded everything wildly, leaving the stronghold severely damaged.

The earth split open, and the yellow sand from underground welled up once more.

Core crystals were scattered in all corners. Some were buried under rubble, while others had already fallen into the cracks underground, making them unretrievable.

Lin Moyu sighed softly. This was unavoidable; they would just recover as many as they could.

Lin Moyu reviewed the entire battle. Although the most intense part lasted only a few minutes from start to finish.

Lin Moyu had already discovered that there were areas where he fell short.

The main issue was his lack of understanding regarding the Stone Demons, not knowing that their defense would undergo a transformation at God King Rank 9.

Nor did he know that God King Rank 9 Stone Demons possessed the ability to revive.

Otherwise, he definitely would have changed his tactics.

At the same time, the Demon Eye had an extremely strong restraining effect on illusions, causing the Starlight Lich's illusion to lose its efficacy.

Since he knew this from the start, he should have delivered a follow-up strike immediately to confirm whether the Demon Eye was truly destroyed.

Instead, due to his own oversight, the illusion collapsed prematurely.

Although it didn't affect the final outcome, it still caused him a lot of extra trouble.

Otherwise, even if the God King Rank 9 Stone Demons had the ability to revive, they wouldn't have been able to escape and would still have been toyed to death by him.

Lin Moyu summarized the various gains and losses during the battle, carefully sorting them out to ensure he wouldn't make similar mistakes in the future.

His aura was slowly strengthening, pushing him toward True God Rank 8.

After using the Origin Technique to kill enemies, the absorbed soul power was refined and became his own, uncontrollably raising his realm.

This kind of boost could only be temporarily suppressed, and the suppression wouldn't last very long, making it pointless.

In truth, Lin Moyu didn't want to advance to True God Rank 8 right now, but the reality was that he had no choice but to use the Origin Technique.

Especially in the deeper areas, when facing battles against God King Rank 9 entities, whether monsters or demons, he would likely need to frequently employ his Origin Technique.

In that case, his cultivation would inevitably break through to True God Rank 8, or even True God Rank 9.

Yet, not using the Origin Technique was impossible, as subsequent battles would only become more intense.
