In the midst of chaos, the Chu King of Hell, who had just made a stunning counterattack and achieved a great victory, was completely unaware of his triumph. He had no idea what benefits he had gained from this "game"; all he felt was pain!
It was only pain. The unbearable agony inflicted upon him by the Heavenly Demons had not truly dissipated. He had merely endured it forcibly before; now that the Heavenly Demons had retreated, the pressure was lessened, and his will to resist naturally waned, causing the sensation of pain to resurge. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the feeling of pain had never truly left; he had simply forced himself to withstand it. Now that the pressure had lifted, his spirit relaxed, and he could no longer suppress it.
His consciousness was unprecedentedly inflated, and the energy within it was orderly following certain patterns. The attack methods he had just "learned" from the Heavenly Demons were lining up, automatically organizing, and forming combinations, surging and impacting incessantly...
His brothers gathered around with concern, watching Chu Yang, who was caught in confusion and agony. Everyone was extremely anxious, but they all understood that they could not disturb him at this moment. Moreover, since the Heavenly Demon had been soundly defeated by Chu Yang, and had fled in disarray, although they were still worried, they felt slightly reassured.
After all, the Heavenly Demon had just suffered a crushing defeat and left with a considerable commotion.
Chu Yang had used some mysterious forbidden technique to overcome a stronger opponent, and now he was possibly suffering from the backlash of his own forbidden technique, which could lead to significant future troubles, hence the immense pain. However, as long as he was alive, even if there were future troubles, it wouldn’t matter. With the ninefold pill, what could he possibly fear? The nine calamity sword master had always been a miraculous existence, and Chu Yang was particularly so.
But no one could have imagined that while the demons sought to devour humans, humans could also swallow demons. In this moment of excruciating pain, Chu Yang was in fact reaping immense benefits and making significant gains.
Mo Qingwu, seeing her beloved suffer, had tears welling in her eyes. Anxiously, she circled around Chu Yang, but she knew he was in a critical moment of battle with the celestial being and did not dare to make a sound. Her small face flushed red as she stifled her sobs, holding her mouth to prevent herself from crying out.
Because the game between Chu Yang and the Heavenly Demon took place in the black mist, and even the later battlefield was within their thoughts, the outside world was entirely unaware of what had transpired between them. The Heavenly Demon had retreated too fast and too suddenly. Although everyone vaguely saw him seeming to carry someone away, it was something they did not focus on at all.
As for their own group, with everyone present, the significance of whether the Heavenly Demon had taken someone else away was minimal. Yet, no one had thought that the person taken away by the Heavenly Demon was actually the Law Sovereign!
They truly did not expect that the Law Sovereign was so powerful that he could almost secure a place among the top three in the world. To everyone, his strength and threat level might even surpass that of the Heavenly Demon freak. If these two major overlords joined forces, even with Chu Yang and his companions working together, they would not stand a chance.
After a long time, Chu Yang suddenly let out a loud shout: "Open!"
It was unclear what he meant by "open," but Chu Yang abruptly opened his tightly shut eyes.
Two beams of divine light shot out from his eyes.
The concerned gazes of his brothers inadvertently met these two looks, and almost instinctively, everyone shifted their gaze. They all felt an unprecedented heavy pressure, a kind of authoritative presence of the spirit!
This indescribable yet undeniably existing sense of pressure was something they had never encountered even when facing supreme ninth rank experts!
