CHAPTER TEXT:
In the beginning, the tournament commenced.
At the front line of the forbidden zone battlefield, Qiantian gazed toward the distant direction of the Infernal Empire.
"I originally thought that there would be a few demon kings who would self-harm and infiltrate the Blue Star, but unexpectedly, it has drawn out a big fish like Dioreus."
"Two souls infused with a strand of divine soul origin; if we can seal one, it will be a deadly weapon against Dioreus."
Unlike demon gods, demon kings do not weaken simply because two strands of divine soul origin are severed, nor do they suffer heavy injuries from the annihilation of the divine soul origin contained in those two demon god puppets.
However, the value of those two strands of divine soul origin far exceeds that of several demon kings.
As a demon god who masters the power of time bloodline, Dioreus possesses immense strength, comparable to that of the ancient late stage, and is very difficult to kill.
For instance, when facing deadly danger, Dioreus can tear apart the void to enter a time rift, burning his bloodline power to escape to another time period.
In such cases, unless a powerful being who also masters time power intervenes to pursue him across time, those like Qiantian, who cannot locate the rift, have no way to deal with him.
Even the Destruction Emperor Dragon, which was prioritized as the target for elimination, did not focus on Dioreus because of this concern.
But if we can seal a strand of his divine soul origin this time, then no matter where he escapes in the time segments, we can track him down through the divine soul origin.
Beside Qiantian, the True Martial King, holding a black stone tablet, also smiled slightly: "This was an unexpected turn of events. After all, no one anticipated that the little guy had already become a demon king."
"Not only that, but the little guy has also gained the trust of demon gods like Dioreus, taking charge of the reorganized intelligence department."
"With him providing support over there during this time, we have obtained much intelligence ahead of others, including this time. The question now is how to seal those two puppets?"
"The reaction of demon god-level beings is very swift; we need to act with lightning speed to have any hope of success. Otherwise, they will definitely choose self-detonation at the first opportunity."
Qiantian slowly replied, "At present, the strongest on the Blue Star is Chen Chu, but he has other matters to attend to and may not encounter those two puppets."
"For safety, let's send Xuanwu and Nine Nether back for a trip. Otherwise, if something happens to Chen Chu's mother or brother, we won't be able to explain."
……
Watching the two beams of light disappear into the depths of the void, Dioreus slowly nodded.
This time, the transmission went smoothly, and under the guidance of the Void Demon Eye's coordinates, those two demon god puppets had accurately arrived across millions of kilometers.
As the blood-red beams of light slowly faded away, a mythical behemoth, a thousand meters long, with its flesh and soul exhausted, disintegrated into black ash beneath the Demon God Pillar.
At the same time, deep to the east of the 30th Legion's base located over ten thousand kilometers from the former black forbidden zone that had collapsed.
In the depths of the underground canyon, black mist swirled, and two beams of blood light pierced through the heavens and landed on an altar stained with the blood of countless exotic beasts.
Below the altar, two weakened true demons at the seventh stage of the demon mark knelt excitedly on the ground.
"Greetings, imperial envoys."
The two demon god puppets, more ferocious than true demons, nodded slightly. One of the puppets, with flickering dark red eyes, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Take us to the rift."
"Yes, esteemed envoys."
The two Infernal True Demons, unaware of the true identities of the puppets before them, thought they were just powerful true demons sent by the empire, and respectfully stood up to lead the way.
