Devil Mo Ke still focused his gaze on the distant human Transcendent when suddenly, he sensed a lethal threat from behind.
Without turning his head, his tail whipped backward like a lash.
A clang of metal rang out,
and Devil Mo Ke turned around, retreating several steps.
The strongest part of a Devil Race member, his tail, had sustained a small notch in the collision.
He concentrated and saw a handsome young man with a divine aura, holding a longsword with a flowing orange glow.
That sword was the very weapon that had injured him.
It must be at least a Third Tier Divine Weapon!
Among the humans, the one Devil Mo Ke cared and was most vigilant about was Tang Yu.
He had started from scratch to establish the largest force on Origin Star and had even killed the previous Envoy in a shadowy manner.
Devil Mo Ke remembered clearly that just a moment ago, the City Lord of Green Shadow City was still several kilometers away.
His speed couldn’t possibly be this fast!
And it was even less likely that he had managed to reach the head of the Hundred-Winged Demon Snake Emperor without it noticing!
The sword light slashed toward him.
There was no massive momentum, no forty-meter Sword Qi released, and certainly no Endless Thunderbolt that could envelop several kilometers in a mere thought...
Only a faint orange halo.
The Source Power had been compressed to the extreme.
Each thrust, each slash, each action was timed perfectly.
Devil Mo Ke couldn’t find an opportunity to counterattack and could only retreat step by step under the rainbow-like sword light.
On the vast head of the Demon Snake Emperor, as broad as a piece of dark earthen land, the sound of clanging reverberated non-stop.
Tang Yu’s sword made an unremarkable thrust, and at its limit, it precisely hit the back of the Devil Race Envoy’s hand.
With just a gentle tap, the concentrated Source Power burst forth. The heavily reinforced arm of Devil Mo Ke exploded.
A brand new arm grew out from the torn surface, restored to its original state in less than a second.
Only Devil Mo Ke’s complexion looked terrible.
He, a member of the same tier, was unable to overcome even the frail Human Race?
Their domains clashed, eroded, and annihilated each other.
Tang Yu’s mind was completely immersed in his swordsmanship.
After his breakthrough to the Second Tier, his sword technique had greatly advanced, and many of the Demon Swordsmen’s Combat Skills, such as "Blazing Fire Sword," and "Polar Ice Slash," had returned to the simplicity in his hands.
Every sword strike was the Combat Skills pushed to their limits.
No pause was needed for each stroke, flowing continuously like an unending tide of a vast river.
Devil Mo Ke, who could kill Gulete in a second, was now at a disadvantage against Tang Yu.
Having perfectly broken through nine cores, his strength exceeded even his own imagination.
It was only enough to gain the upper hand.
Without the power to crush the enemy, it was nearly impossible to kill a Second Tier Transcendent.
Devil Mo Ke was aware that parrying and dodging were only means to reduce exhaustion.
Born with superior combat talent, the Devil Race had already adapted to Tang Yu’s fighting rhythm after he had regenerated limbs a few times.
Once again, his claw caught the sword blade, when an even more deadly threat came from behind.
A heavy sword slashed diagonally from his shoulder, cleaving his body in two.
His upper body, flying through the air, caught a glimpse of a black heavy sword emanating a purple glow like smoke or clouds.
Devil Mo Ke twisted his body mid-air, and his severed lower half rapidly regenerated.
Meanwhile, the young man and another abruptly appearing black-haired girl in armor, along with their countless formed illusions, enveloped him from all directions.
Devil Mo Ke opened a phantasmal eye on his forehead, the space before him solidified for a moment, then shattered like glass.
He crouched low, landing on all fours like a beast, his body suddenly swelled, and extendable arms burst forth from his back, numerous slimy limbs shooting towards Tang Yu and Nancy.
Some palms glowed with a green poison light, some blazed with flames of a thousand degrees, and some pressed down like a massive mountain...
Mo Ke had a plethora of abilities!
It was only when he abandoned his humanoid form that his true combat power was revealed.
Even if Tang Yu and Nancy could cut off ten or twenty arms, they couldn’t outpace the regeneration speed of their opponent.
Telekinesis was instantly applied to both of them, severed limbs scattered, and Nancy even used her managerial authority to instantaneously teleport.
With the Power of Ghost God in the sword light, the Devil Race Envoy was chopped into chunks of meat.
Although he recovered in the next second, Mo Ke’s complexion looked terrible.
He clearly perceived a strange force inside his body eroding his origin, originally believing that even if he were at a disadvantage, the Human Race couldn’t really do anything to him. Yet, in reality, in just a short few seconds, his origin had already been damaged.
Continuing might affect his combat power.
Once the origin was damaged by more than 90%, it could even affect potential, preventing any further breakthroughs for life.
Mo Ke let out a low growl, and the dark earth beneath his feet suddenly trembled.
Streams of black qi emerged and transformed into illusion beasts of various shapes, rushing towards the two from all directions.
Above, as the Hundred-Winged Demon Snake Emperor flapped its wings, endless wind pressure condensed into wind cones, falling like droplets of rain.
Tang Yu and Nancy teleported several kilometers away.
Just as Mo Ke was about to order the Demon Snake Emperor to finish off these two nuisances, suddenly, a sharp presence soared into the sky, and at that moment, the heavens and the earth froze.
In the rear position of the Human Race Alliance Army.
Countless Alien Race Transcendents charged forth, and the human Transcendents resisted with difficulty.
The ten Direct Lineage members of the Ancient Spirit Royal Family did not join the battlefield.
Their expressions were grave as they stood on a detached Floating Island, inscribing fresh red patterns with Royal Family blood beneath their feet.
Five Royal Transcendents stood in the Outer Circle,
And four in the inner circle.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor stood at the core of the formation, wielding a plain Long Bow with no arrow.
As the Ancient Heavenly Venerate slightly pulled back the bowstring, a beam of radiance condensed into an arrow above it.
He pulled with much effort, his complexion gradually reddening, and the infusion of Source Power made the bow and arrow start to glow with light.
However, the Ancient Heavenly Venerate could only pull the string about a third of the way before he couldn’t pull any further.
A mouthful of vital blood suddenly spurted out, landing on the bow, and the blood-stained Holy Artifact Lustrous Sun Bow gradually revived.
The other Ancient Spirit Royal Transcendents also did not hesitate to spurt out their vital blood, and the blood array lit up with red light, resonating with the Holy Artifact Lustrous Sun Bow, which had been nourished by the blood of ancient predecessors.
Ripple after ripple of invisible waves spread out.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor gradually pulled the bowstring to full draw.
Space violently trembled, and platinum radiance illuminated the entire sky like a golden sun.
Trails of Holy Artifact aura, pressuring heaven and earth.
Mo Ke’s expression became slightly more solemn, "Indeed, it is a damaged Holy Artifact, full defense, block it."
The Hundred-Winged Demon Snake Emperor, ranked among the upper echelons even among world-level Demonized Beasts, could block a near-Saint-level strike with preparation—it was not difficult. But the same level of power, if controlled by a Saint, would be different.
Rings of black fog solidified in front of the Demon Snake Emperor, and once again, a huge serpent maw gathered a dark gleam.
Mo Ke breathed a slight sigh of relief, though still stiff, with the aura of death overhead not diminishing but rather growing thicker.
"Wait, no, that’s not right!"
"The Holy Artifact’s target isn’t the Demon Snake Emperor, it’s... it’s me!"
Mo Ke was horror-struck.
No doubt the Holy Archer had the ability to traverse space; the Demon Snake Emperor might withstand it, but that didn’t mean he himself could live through a near-Saint-level strike, even with Blood Rebirth abilities!
From the beginning, the humans’ target wasn’t the Demon Snake Emperor; it was him.
The humans intended to resolve him first and then find a way to deal with the less intelligent Demon Snake Emperor!
The recent assassination attempt by the Green Shadow City Lord was proof!
Mo Ke suddenly realized and issued a soulful roar, "Quick, protect me!"
The body of the Demon Snake Emperor coiled rapidly, shielding Mo Ke in the center.
The Ancient Spirit Emperor finally released the bowstring.
The arrow, slicing through the gloomy sky.
