The soul energy and origin power surged, creating shockwaves that instantly collapsed the Demon Lord's inner sanctum!
However, when the shockwaves traveled further, they were blocked by an invisible barrier. No matter how raucous the commotion inside the barrier, it couldn't affect the outside world in the slightest.
Not far away, two palace guards stood leisurely, and within their line of sight, they could only see Lord Dawu happily conversing with Your Excellency the Spirit of the Demon Lord, completely unaware of anything more.
Inside the effective area of the blockade.
At that moment, the "Demon Lord" let out a heart-rending scream, like a hen being grasped by the butcher's hand, its ugly appearance made Wen Yu sigh deeply.
"Though the Demon Lord is dead, I still vividly remember him..."
"He was a hero, a champion of the Lirada People. Although we stand on opposite sides, even I must admit the Demon Lord's ability and courage."
"Unfortunately, the hero did not receive the end he deserved... He died, and the saddest part is that his body, his power, his everything was usurped by a guy like you! It’s fortunate that you completely destroyed the Demon Lord; otherwise, I’m afraid no one would have been able to suppress the casket of the Demon Lord... Do you think I’m right? My esteemed mother!"
While Wen Yu stirred the soul energy, he expressed heartfelt emotions, and the earth's will, which had been exposed by Wen Yu, showed no notable reaction—it only screamed, wailed, and finally begged for mercy...
"It wasn't me, Wen Yu, it really wasn't me! Spare my life! Please, spare my life!"
Once upon a time, the Demon Lord held a power comparable to Wen Yu's. However, after Wen Yu activated the soul balance and neutralized the sovereign's soul strength, his power now far exceeded that of the Demon Lord!
In other words, the earth's will found no way to escape Wen Yu's grasp!
Facing the earth's will's pleas, Wen Yu remained cold, shaking his head with a smile that was not quite a smile, while his eyes grew increasingly frigid.
"I certainly know that all of this wasn't done by you... You simply don’t have the ability to achieve it."
"You are merely a fence-sitter, relying on your innate identity to cause trouble everywhere. You think you are on the right side, but now I tell you, even if you are on the right side, you won't live to enjoy the fruits of your labor!"
"To be honest, I have looked down on you from the very beginning... But I don’t want to comment on your choices or decisions; I just feel that a guy like you doesn’t deserve to be alive until now!"
"To put it frankly, if you had honestly played your role as the earth's will, I wouldn't have killed you! But you foolishly stepped outside the safety of the identity that being the earth's will provided; now, how dare you ask me to spare your life?"
As soon as the words fell, the soul energy in Wen Yu's right hand surged even more fiercely, and as the vast soul energy surged, the memories belonging to the Demon Lord and the earth's will were opened like books for Wen Yu to peruse. The earth's will version of the Demon Lord slowly rolled its eyes, drooling from the corner of its mouth like a mindless fool...
Until with a bang, the body of the Demon Lord collapsed to the ground, and Wen Yu merely looked calmly at the body on the floor before slowly closing his eyes.
The memories of the Demon Lord and the earth's will far surpassed those of Dawu, and for Wen Yu to fully digest everything, it would probably take quite some time.
...
"Boom!"
A sudden explosive sound startled the palace guards, and no sooner had the explosion echoed than countless lights and shadows rushed from afar to the edge of the ruins where the explosion had occurred.
It could be seen that the Demon Lord's inner sanctum had been completely reduced to ruins in the explosion, and on the ground, Dawu’s body lay sprawled, while the Demon Lord was half-closing its eyes, seemingly savoring something.
The scene at the site led everyone to speculate on this scenario—Your Excellency the Spirit of the Demon Lord and Lord Dawu must have been discussing some issue, which incited the Demon Lord's fury, resulting in the fatal outcome for Dawu, thus leading to the current predicament.
