The Story Never Ends

Chapter 210 - Secret Of The Skulls

"Henrik, you are the last person from your tribe remaining. Do you have something to say?" Davion gazed at him coldly sending shivers down his spines.

"I…" Henrik shuddered as he couldn't speak. He bore a deep sense of guilt and humiliation recalling how his friends died one by one infront of his eyes without him not being able to do anything. He felt powerless with even such a high cultivation base.

Seeing his pitiful state, Davion shook his head and declared, "You can kill yourself and leave peacefully."

He gave him a chance to have a quick and less painful death. Otherwise, he had no choice but to beat him up and end his life cruelly.

Henrik finally raised his head when he heard it. "Do you think I would die this shamefully?"

Although he knew that he wasn't his match, he would never die in this cowardly manner. He still had his pride as a peak stage Domain Realm expert of the Golden Lion Tribe. Thus, he regained his senses and resolutely looked at Davion.

"Then don't blame me." Davion appeared ahead of him in the blink of an eye and grabbed his neck. It happened so quickly that Henrik could only dream of escaping.

"You are too strong. But I won't be going down this easily." Henrik bellowed in anger and his body inflated at the speed visible to the naked eyes.

"Eh! What's this?" Davion was astonished. Did he still have some tricks left?

"No! He is exploding his demon core using his soul Qi." Andreas as a demon himself recognized this immediately. So, without any hesitation, he carried the two injured panthers near his side and ran towards the wall of the barrier.

He knew how destructive an explosion of a Domain Realm expert could be. Especially someone powerful like Henrik.

When he reached there, he threw them to the ground and yelled, "Help me break the barrier."

"Cough…cough-" Logan coughed out some blood and spoke, "Damn, can't you be a bit gentle?"

"Shut up! Help me here. Or else we will definitely die." Andreas scolded. If not for him requiring their help, he would have long since killed them.

"Haha, don't make us laugh. Do you still think we have a chance to escape?" Naomi had already accepted her fate.

"Who says there isn't? Do you think he can withstand the upcoming blast completely intact?" Andreas replied as he glanced back in the air. Henrik had turned into a huge balloon that could blow up any moment.

The panthers also looked in that direction and nodded their heads. It seemed like they could still make it out alive. So, they dragged their weak bodies and slashed their daggers at the barrier with all their strength.

"BAM...BAM"

A few small cracks were seen as a result but they were repaired in a couple of seconds. Their strength was not enough to bypass the barriers made from the two devil skulls. Andreas too joined in.

"Don't hold back." He burned his blood and slammed his spear at once. Following him, they too did the same.

At the same time, Davion finally found something suspicious about Henrik. When he used his Mind-Eye, he saw all his soul Qi being swiftly injected into his demon core. This caused the demon core to increase in size and a couple of fractures to be seen in it. Moreover, he could sense a destructive aura steadily emerging from it.

"Don't tell me…" His face became ugly when he understood what he was planning.

Henrik saw his expression and laughed, "Haha, what can you do now? It's too late."

"BOOM"

The moment he finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion took place easily destroying everything in the vicinity. This included the barrier as well.

"BANG"

The barrier couldn't contain its shockwaves and was demolished resulting in the two skulls falling down from the air. As for the staff, it was able to hold out surprising Andreas who had managed to escape.

"Hah..hah.."

"I survived." He panted heavily as he stood up from the rubble. The bodies of Logan and Naomi could be seen on his sides. They looked disfigured, and half of their body parts were missing.

"Hehe, did you two think that I would bring you fools just to help me break the barrier?" He grinned evilly. In the last moment, he had used their bodies as a cover to protect himself as he knew from the start that it was impossible to break the barrier with just their strength. So, he was well prepared.

He then retracted his attention back to the skulls and thought, "I should bring them back to the sect. I believe I will be awarded."

He approached them and was about to pick it up when suddenly he felt an irresistible force pulling him backward.

"No.." He used the last bit of his strength attempting to break free, but it was meaningless.

"Trying to escape, are we?" Davion's chilly voice rang in his ears, scaring him out of his wits.

"How are you still alive?" Andreas couldn't believe it. After all, the explosion was terrifyingly devastating.

"Humph!" Davion scoffed and dragged him towards him.

"You.." Andreas had his mouth wide open when he saw the state Davion was in currently.

A big cavity was seen in his stomach from where his internal organs could be seen. Also, tones of blood were dripping from there like a fountain making the sight look gruesome. Going upward, he had lost all his eyes and seemed to be blind at present. Nonetheless, this was not the most shocking thing. But his brain was exposed to the air.

How can one survive with this injury? This was the only thought in Andreas' mind.

"Now tell me why were you interested in these skulls." Davion opened his palm, and the skulls were drawn into it.

"Eh! Then why did you collect it?" Andreas was startled.

"What do you mean?" Davion was confused.

"Do you really not know?" Andreas asked.

"Don't waste my time and just tell me." Davion threatened him by grabbing his arms and legs using his other hands.

"Ahh.."

"I will tell you." Andreas cried out in pain.

Davion loosened his grip, allowing him to speak.

"There are four of these skulls found in the Devil World. I heard that if one can gather these all then he can obtain the inheritance left behind by a powerful Devil Venerable." Andreas explained.

"Interesting. So, where can I find the others?" Davion was excited.

"I don't know." Andreas shook his head.

"You dare lie to me. I have been noticing your expression since the moment I had taken them out. Don't think that I was only busy fighting the warriors from the Golden Lion Tribe." Davion tore one of his arms expressing his displeasure.

"Ahh…I'm not lying." Andreas yelled.

"Is that so?" Davion didn't quite believe it.

"Maybe my Hall Master knows," Andreas replied.

"What? Does this mean that you are someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Davion was amused.

"This.." Andreas' mouth twitched as he had mistakenly blurted it out.

"Tell me more about it," Davion ordered.

"I am one of the apostles of the sect working under the Hall Master, Demon Emperor Trevor.." However, before he could finish his sentence, Davion crushed his body into meat paste.

"Damn, how could my body go out of control?" Davion cursed. The moment he heard Demon Emperor Trevor, his blood automatically boiled, and had the urge to kill.

"Is it due to the grievances of the old tiger?" He pondered. Since the old tiger was the one who gave him his bloodline, this should be the only possibility.

"Haiz, I missed this opportunity." He sighed in disappointment as he actually wanted to know how to go to the Devil World and the Heavenly Demon Sect from him.

This was the question he had been asking all the apostles he had faced till now. But he never got the right answer.

"Phew, it looks like I have to catch another apostle. A powerful one at that." He made up his mind.

Next, he disintegrated the body of Andreas and took his spirit ring. He repeated this same process for the other dead bodies as well. In this way, he cleaned up the battlefield in a couple of minutes.

"Now, it's time to treat my injury." He took out the Soul Strengthening Pill he had obtained from Luke and swallowed it. The pill melted straight away and vigorous energy ravaged inside his body.

But this amount of energy was nothing compared to the time when he had taken the spirit vein. Nevertheless, it did its work. His experience bar was filled in an instant, and it eventually stopped after another one-fifth of the bar was filled.

"Level 42" He leveled up and his body returned to his perfect shape in a jiffy. Not only that, but his Domain enlarged once more turning the heavens and earth upside down.

"Hehe, I leveled up twice in a day."
