Penetrating the mantle, straight to the Earth's Core.
For the spirit of the demon lord, this process was extremely smooth.
As previously stated, once the world outside the Earth's atmosphere was unblocked, the entire Earth was essentially defenseless against the spirit of the demon lord — he could come and go as he pleased, while those who could stop him were already trapped within the Ruler's Hall.
At this moment, it was indeed a rare opportunity for the spirit of the demon lord...
As for the defenses that Wen Yu had once set up at the earth's core origin, well, these little tricks were naturally no match for the spirit of the demon lord.
First, stationed in the outer layer was the soul puppet legion — these soul puppets had long been stationed here, and after over five thousand years of development and growth, their scale could only be described as monstrous.
However, when faced with another owner of the soul creation technique, this monstrosity immediately transformed.
It was noticeable that, accompanied by the outpouring of creation energy from the spirit of the demon lord, these soul puppets quickly changed hands in a short amount of time.
At that moment, Wen Yu, who was in the Ruler's Hall, naturally sensed it, but the situation he faced had already determined that he couldn't attend to such trivial matters...
Thus, the first line of defense was easily breached by the spirit of the demon lord.
The second line of defense was the sealing barrier that Wen Yu had laid out outside the earth's core origin — and it should be noted that it was a barrier set up by Wen Yu in the past.
In the face of the spirit of the demon lord's power, these barriers were completely ineffective; he merely strolled over and bypassed this so-called second line of defense.
What lay before the spirit of the demon lord was the sealing formed by the Guardian Type III...
Strictly speaking, the Guardian Type III and the soul puppets were of the same nature, and the spirit of the demon lord used his previous tricks to quickly subdue the Guardian Type III.
After completing this step, the spirit of the demon lord stood before the Earth's Core, and from then on, there was no obstruction in sight!
...
Standing before the earth's core origin, the spirit of the demon lord looked at the great light sphere that emanated a faint radiance, a smile-like expression appearing on his face.
After countless years of planning, the result was now within reach! How could this not excite the spirit of the demon lord, to the point of being agitated?
Yet, as the saying goes, "A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step," even though only half a step remained before his goal was achieved, the spirit of the demon lord remained cautious.
He first laid down a sealing barrier on the outside while mobilizing the newly acquired soul puppets and Guardian Type III to recreate the two layers of sealing — it wasn’t to stop the enemy, but merely to provide a warning for himself.
Once the spirit of the demon lord confirmed that all was clear, he took a deep breath and then stepped lightly towards the earth's core origin.
“Are you there?”
“Are you there?”
“Are you there?”
The empty cavern echoed back, the voice of the spirit of the demon lord mixed with an unusual magic power, seemingly penetrating the outer layer of the earth's core origin and reaching its core.
And this voice also awakened a certain will within the earth's core origin.
“You…”
“I am the spirit of the demon lord!”
The spirit of the demon lord succinctly introduced himself — although he had had previous dealings with the earth's will, this close contact was still a first for both parties!
“Spirit of the demon lord? You finally came!”
The voice of the earth's will was momentarily stunned, then as if snapping back to reality, it exclaimed loudly, its tone filled with excitement, joy, as if it were seeing a long-lost relative…
“How is the situation outside?”
The earth's will had been trapped here for over five thousand years, completely unaware of what had happened outside. At this moment, seeing the spirit of the demon lord come personally, though it had a premonition in its heart, it still asked.
