Chapter 1321
The underground cave, in front of the Styx Palace!
'boom. ’
'Clatter.'
When the Lich King statue, ranked sixteenth, first cracked like a spider web, and then shattered with a crash...
The demon guards who had been lying prostrate on both banks of the River Styx and guarding the main hall scattered like startled birds.
'boom.'
Many of the scattered stones landed on the square in front of the main hall, raising a cloud of dust.
Many more, however, tumbled into the River Styx, creating towering waves.
The Earth Demon cultists, who were constantly dodging, let out piercing screams.
Even after they had reached a safe location, they still looked at the scene of the incident with lingering fear!
"Why, how could this happen?"
"The Lich King's statue has also collapsed!"
"This is a symbol of his [Earthly Fiend Origin] being annihilated."
"Another mighty demon lord of the underworld has fallen?"
"Isn't it the Lich King and the Moon King who are going to conquer the mortal realm together this time?"
"How could this happen with double insurance?"
Too many questions weighed on their minds.
For these devout followers of the Earth Demon, the fall of Pudu Cihang could be due to carelessness, or it could be, as the Styx Palace claimed, a result of a collective scheme by mortal warriors...
But what about this time?
When the Lich King and the Moon King set out to conquer the mortal realm, they held a grand departure ceremony in the Styx Palace.
The two demon lords declared that they would massacre the mortal realm, avenge the Earth Demon King, and reclaim the dignity that belonged to the Earth Demon.
He even took over a hundred exceptionally powerful demon guards with him when he went out.
How could it be that in just over half a month, even the Lich King has fallen?
Are the powerful figures in the mortal realm really this formidable?
Or has the Earth Demon lost its crushing power over the mortal realm?
'bass! ’
'boom……'
The scene, which had initially caused a great uproar, was instantly shrouded in an aura of malevolence.
The next second, the surging of the River Styx was stopped.
The dust and mist at the scene were also dissipated.
The fragments of the Lich King's statue were also cleared away.
The very ground on which the statue stands provides further evidence that a stone sculpture of the Lich King once stood there.
"It's the [Lesser Yin Mystic King]!"
"He's out."
Upon recognizing the newcomer, the demon followers immediately screamed.
"quiet!"
"No noise is allowed in front of the Styx Palace, lest you strike the Styx Ancestor during his seclusion."
As soon as the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] spoke, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent.
These strangely shaped earth demons all stared wide-eyed straight ahead.
I hope to get an accurate answer from him.
His appearance this time is to mitigate the impact of the Lich King's fall.
His unexpected failure was attributed to his unauthorized incursion into enemy territory, where he was besieged by powerful figures from the mortal realm.
"Because the Lich King was eager for revenge, he acted without authorization, which led to his own demise..."
"Ancestor Styx is extremely angry."
"However, according to reliable sources, the King of Guanghan has already led his troops to attack."
"On a chosen day, we can capture the culprits in one fell swoop and send their remnant souls here to appease the spirits of the two demon lords."
'Wow.'
Upon hearing the explanation from [Shaoyin Xuanwang], the Earth Demon followers present, deeply agreeing, angrily declared, "These despicable mortals who dare to provoke the Earth Demons must be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Never to be reincarnated."
"Correct."
"Let them suffer the agony of being strangled in hell."
Although many fanatical followers of the Earth Demon firmly believed in this, some rational individuals still questioned, "Your Excellency..."
"Why didn't the image of the Earth Soul appear when the Lich King fell this time?"
"That's right. Isn't the Demon King's soul sealed inside this statue? Before he died, there should have been a reflection of him."
After a demon raised an objection, other voices emerged at the scene.
Standing in front of the main hall, the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] surveyed the earth demons with an extremely gloomy expression.
His actions just now were not merely to clear away the debris, but also to use his malevolent aura to create an illusion, concealing the image of the Lich King in his final moments.
Now, the only ones who can truly see this mirror image are their remaining fifteen demon kings and the Styx Ancestor.
Xu Shan, it's that Xu Shan again.
Through despicable means, they broke the Seven Fiends Soul-Locking Array, forcing the Lich King to enter the mortal realm to fight.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Moon King was resealing the formation, they launched a surprise attack.
Currently, they can only deduce these things from the final footage.
However, in his final moments, he indirectly revealed a fact...
That means he has bought the King of Guanghan time to reseal the formation.
They should be fighting in the Yinshan Secret Realm now.
There, the Guanghan King, no longer bound by the rules of the mortal realm, should be able to easily control his opponent.
It was based on this information that he dared to say it so confidently in public.
"That's because the Lich King still had a breath left, and his remnant soul had not been completely annihilated."
"Instead, they were protected by the Styx Ancestor."
"Only at the right time can one be reincarnated."
Upon hearing this, the demons suddenly understood.
"That's it!"
"Ancestor Styx is truly remarkable; he can remotely control affairs between two realms with just his will."
"That's natural!"
"Ancestor Styx is invincible."
"Now, all we need to do is wait patiently for the King of Guanghan to return in triumph."
"Let's witness together how those despicable martial artists in the mortal realm will suffer a fate worse than death."
"Correct."
Seeing that the tone of the conversation had changed, [Shaoyin Xuanwang] breathed a sigh of relief!
The fall of Pudu Cihang has shaken the faith of the believers in the authority of the Earth Demon.
Now, the Lich King has been ambushed and killed.
Ancestor, once we lose the 'faith power' of these demons, it is highly likely that the eighteen levels of hell will be shaken.
At that time, the hostile 'earth demons' sealed inside will have an opportunity to exploit...
The newly unified underground world is about to fall into turmoil again!
"Let's all disperse for now."
"The Styx Ancestor is about to emerge from seclusion, and the Styx Palace will be sealed off soon."
As soon as the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] finished speaking, the believers below instantly reached a climax.
Is the ancestor about to emerge from seclusion?
Does that mean that a 'death sentence' is about to be bestowed?
‘Crack. ’
But just as they were getting excited, the stone sculpture of Guanghan King, who ranked thirteenth among the eighteen demon kings, broke.
"Ok?"
"Guang, how come the statue of the Guanghan King is also cracked?"
"Could it be that……"
'boom.'
Before the people below could finish speaking, the stone sculpture of the Guanghan King, which stood not far from the [Shaoyin Xuanwang], suddenly exploded.
This time, it differs from the Lich King's approach of first falling off and then shattering.
This time, before the [Lesser Yin Mystic King] and the palace guards could react, the stone sculpture shattered on the ground like mercury spilled.
This is why the image of the Moon King before his death appeared as if floating in the sky.
