Chapter 666: Wandering Battle Team

“Who’s the stronger between the Wandering Sword Venerable and the Abyssal Demon Lord?”

Yang King looked at the white-clothed Wandering Sword Venerable, who had carelessly torn a spatial fissure and flew over to the Demon Hall, before looking at the Abyssal Demon Lord, who was engulfed in flames. Yang Ling became more prudent and hid, motionless, in a remote corner with the crowd. He looked forward to the battle between the two because he wanted to watch a brilliant battle between two real powerhouses, but he was also worried that they would be harmed by it.

People at the level of the Abyssal Demon Lord were able to topple mountains and overturn seas with a simple gesture, and they could also create large spatial fissures. If they didn’t die from the flames that filled the sky, they might die from the shockwaves from the battle if they weren’t careful.

“Wanderer, if you had arrived earlier, I would have lent it to you. In fact, I wouldn’t have minded giving you the Life Soul Bead.” The Abyssal Demon Lord’s expression was gloomy, and he paused for a moment before saying, “But it’s now out of the question. When I was secluded in practice, I detected Natalie’s cry for help, and I rushed over at the fastest speed possible, but I was still late, and Natalie’s body was destroyed by those b*stards. Even her soul was...”

The Abyssal Demon Lord couldn’t help but think about the Black-Horned Demon, who had only just awakened after innumerable years, and couldn’t help but think about the days where they toured the world together. He gnashed his teeth, and as the flames in the air shone upon him, his face seemed more malevolent looking.

A tooth for tooth and blood for blood! All wanderers in the hall would die, and even their families and Divine Branches would later pay a grave price for their stupid actions. The Abyssal Demon Lord clearly remembered the experts standing next to the Black-Horned Demon’s bloodstains and remembered the four great factions, Algernon Divine Branch, Longbarton Divine Branch, Hastings Divine Branch, and the Lich King.

“What, Natalie..” The Wandering Sword Venerable looked at the flames in the air before looking at the Abyssal Demon Lord’s angry face. He suddenly saw the light and understood why the Abyssal Demon Lord had almost gone crazy. He muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before saying slowly, “Kansas, I’m really sorry to hear this news. But, can you please lend me the Life Soul Bead? I will merely try it before giving it back to you. If you do so, I will owe you a favor.”

Usually, people’s souls went to the Death Plane after their deaths, but if their souls were absorbed by the Life Soul Bead, it would be impossible to resurrect them. When the Wandering Sword Venerable saw the Abyssal Demon’s malevolent look, he realized that the Life Soul Bead, which absorbed the Black-Horned Demon’s soul, was important to him.

“It’s out of the question. Wanderer, even if I give you the Life Soul Bead, you won’t be able to save your wife.”

But the Abyssal Demon Lord extended his hand and grabbed the Life Soul Bead on the altar. He muttered to himself for a moment before throwing the bead at the Wandering Sword Venerable. The green flames, which had instantly burned the Ghost Servants’ leader into ashes, didn’t affect him at all. “Even if you know that some matters are impossible, you still must try them,” he said.

The Wandering Sword Venerable received the Life Soul Bead and chuckled bitterly before opening the Crystalline Coffin. He muttered in a low voice and put the Life Soul Bead on the chest of the sleeping beauty.

He moved softly and quietly, as if he were afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty. His gaze was quite soft, and his blue eyes were like a great sea filled with deep emotions. He looked calmly at his beloved wife! If one didn’t see this personally, he surely wouldn’t have believed that an ice-cold peerless powerhouse had this soft side.

“Sunnie, open your eyes. You said that you would travel all planes with me, and you said that you would visit the Boundless Sea with me and observe the endless Crystal Wall. Sunnie, open your eyes. You said that we would look together for the old Thunderburst and that we would look together for the team leader,” the Wandering Sword Venerable muttered in a soft voice. As he spoke, he poured his Divine Power into the Life Soul Bead and affectionately called to his lover, who had been sleeping for innumerable years. His eyes, which had mesmerized many youthful girls, had since turned bloodshot.

He was unyielding and affectionate! The reason why real men only shed blood and never shed tears is because they’ve never been broken-hearted.

The Wandering Sword Venerable was very powerful. He poured his boundless Divine Force into the bead. He wished he could pour his whole body’s Divine Force into it. Unfortunately, some things aren’t rewarded with hard work. He bustled for more than an hour, yet the black Life Soul Bead didn’t give a response, and the captivating beauty in the Crystalline Coffin was still motionless. She wasn’t breathing, and she didn’t have any warmth. She also didn’t have any Soul Ripples and was as cold as an ice sculpture.

“Wanderer, it’s useless.” The Abyssal Demon Lord wore a sad look, and as he thought back on the Black-Horned Demon, who had been absorbed by the Life Soul Bead, he felt quite pained. “Only a few people in the world can use this Life Soul Bead, and even the few old b*stards who focused on the Soul Law’s practice didn’t have a solution. Only if...”

“Only if what?” The dispirited Wandering Sword Venerable’s eyes lit up. Even if there was only a single glimpse of hope, he still wouldn’t give up.

“It won’t be an issue for that supreme being. There’s nothing he can’t achieve. But he still won’t intervene for us.” The Abyssal Demon Lord didn’t provide details about this matter, and as he spoke, he glanced around as if he were worried about something. He took a deep breath before saying, “So, I can’t think of anyone else who can use the Life Soul Bead left by Ancient Wizards other than the boundless sea’s Heavenly Nun.”

Boundless sea’s Heavenly Nun?

The Wandering Sword Venerable’s expression turned sad, and he shook his head helplessly. If it were a different region, he would have had enough confidence to rush inside it, but the Boundless Sea couldn’t be entered by any person.

“Wanderer, even if we join hands, we won’t necessarily get inside. Even if we do get inside and find the Heavenly Nun, she won’t necessarily help us. But if that certain person stepped in for us, that would be a different matter.” The more the Abyssal Demon Lord thought about it, the more excited he became. He saw hope for reviving the Black-Horned Demon Natalie.

“Who is it?” The Wandering Sword Venerable got an idea. He managed to roughly guess the Abyssal Demon Lord’s thoughts.

“The team leader, your Flowing Cloud Battle Team’s previous leader. As long as he steps in, the Heavenly Nun will surely help us.” The Abyssal Demon Lord looked nervously at the white-clothed wanderer before saying, “Wanderer, as long as you seek your team leader, you will get to revive your wife, and my Natalie will also be saved.”

“Flowing Cloud Battle Team?” The Wandering Sword Venerable let out a hollow laugh and shook his head. He threw the Life Soul Bead back to the Abyssal Demon Lord and said helplessly, “Kansas, I’m really sorry. I can’t help you. The team leader is... It would be better for you to come up with another way.”

The Wandering Sword Venerable let out a sigh. It seemed like he didn’t want to say anything else, and he raised the transparent Crystalline Coffin before quickly leaving, instantly disappearing on the horizon. He came quickly and left quickly!

After the Abyssal Demon Lord lost his sole glimmer of hope, he became so infuriated that he laughed and roared like an injured beast. “Hahaha, come up with another way?” He ignored the Life Soul Bead that had been thrown toward him by the Wandering Sword Venerable and allowed it to fall on the ground with a rumble and roll into a dark corner.

A blade can kill people, but it can also save people. Similarly, the Life Soul Bead could absorb the souls of all living beings in its vicinity, and if one mastered how to use the bead, he would be able to launch peerless soul attacks. Additionally, if one used it well, he would be able to defend against the enemy’s soul attacks. In the past, the Abyssal Demon Lord recklessly snatched the Life Soul Bead and used it to set up an Ancient Magical Formation Spell, which protected the Black-Horned Demon’s soul, which was shortly going to dissipate. It had also protected her from any unexpected soul attacks. After innumerable years, the Black-Horned Demon’s injuries recovered slightly, only after great difficulty, but she died just after she awakened, and her soul was absorbed by the Life Soul Bead on the altar.

“Ah! Die, you should all die.” The Abyssal Demon Lord let out a roar before releasing a large amount of flames, which filled the sky. He burned the wanderers in the Demon Hall to ashes. He was desperate, and he vented his anger on the wanderers, who had no way out.

In an instant, the sky was dyed red, and it seemed like it was dripping with scarlet blood. Many scalding flames rained upon the crowd and started burning their bodies. The flames were accompanied by a peerless wave of pressure, and the speed and power of even the strongest wanderers was greatly weakened, and they couldn’t move a finger.

“Ah! Save me, save me.”

“Brother Brue, save me.”

..

After the numerous wanderers caught the terrifying fire, not only their clothes and skin burned, but also their souls. They turned into ashes in a twinkle of an eye, and their souls were extinguished. Even Borgans, who had power at the peak of the Eighth Level Divine Duty Stage, couldn’t withstand a single blow, let alone ordinary wanderers.

Yang Ling, who faced the terrifying flames that covered both the sky and land alike, quickly moved the Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, and others into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Soon after, he tried to teleport several times, but to no avail. He couldn’t detect the Great Wizard Altar’s Soul Imprint at the lakeside.

It seemed like the angry Abyssal Demon Lord had cast a magical power and isolated the whole region from the outside.

What should be done?

Yang Ling dodged a ball of terrifying flames and cast a glance at several wanderers near him, who let out a miserable scream as they burned and turned to ashes. Yang Ling’s scalp turned numb. He hadn’t expected that the Abyssal Demon Lord would be so terrifying!

“Huh? The Life Soul Bead?” Yang Ling cried in surprise. He was about to enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension and take refuge in it temporarily, but he inadvertently discovered the round Life Soul Bead, which rolled toward him precisely in that moment. But it was obstructed by a broken rock that was in the way, and it stopped twenty feet from him.

“In the end, everything is fated. If it’s mine, I will get it and no one will manage to steal it.” Yang Ling gnashed his teeth and risked his life to take a gamble. He instantly teleported and picked up the Life Soul Bead from the ground before weaving Wizard Seals. He escaped into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension at the highest speed possible. The whole region was sealed by the Abyssal Demon Lord, and he couldn’t leave. But, since he started this, he had to carry it out to the end, which was why he snatched the Life Soul Bead.

The Abyssal Demon Lord was very powerful, but Yang Ling didn’t believe that he would always stay guard in the Demon Hall. As long as he hid in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension for a while, everything would end and calm down, leaving enough time to come up with a way to leave the Demon Hall.

“Humph, you are courting death.”

The angry Abyssal Demon Lord allowed the Life Soul Bead to fall on the ground, but he noticed Yang Ling when the latter picked up the Life Soul Bead. He snorted coldly and waved his large scarlet hand toward Yang Ling to slap him. His hand brought with it great flames, and he assumed that he would manage to slap Yang Ling to death, but, as a soft groan echoed out, Yang Ling’s body disappeared, and only some bloodstains, as well as a little puppet broken into two pieces, were left on the ground.
