System's Super Sect-Chapter 702 - 697. Situation reversal?

The brief moment of immobilization sent He Nian into a state of panic.

If he were merely imprisoned without this overwhelming oppressive force, he wouldn’t feel any fear.

Because the secret technique born from releasing an Earth Level Vein Skill could only slow down Long Ye but couldn’t completely immobilize him.

"Your Excellency, Demon King—"

He Nian exclaimed.

However, just as the words reached his mouth, the Devouring Power had already erupted.

The pressing force, like lit firecrackers, began to explode around him. Yet, the Spirit Body He Nian cultivated was far inferior to Long Ye’s. He Nian’s Power Source Spirit Body was only ranked around 1900 on the Spirit Body Ranking, and the pain from the explosion of the Devouring Power immediately made his vision go black, almost causing him to faint.

But before his mind could react, the continuous explosive pain followed closely behind.

In an instant, his skin was torn apart!

Blood gushed out!

Blood flowed profusely over his entire body from top to bottom, dyeing He Nian in red.

"Ah—"

"Ah—"

The cries resonated endlessly.

After this sound spread, anyone who heard it was shocked and terrified.

The once invincible Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert was now emitting such a heartrending scream.

It sounded like the eerie howling from the depths of the snowy wilderness outside Vast City.

Just hearing it sent shivers down one’s spine!

"The Spirit Body ranks almost 100 positions below mine, such a vast gap yet he took this attack head-on. He Nian, you better look after yourself..."

In the darkness, Long Ye chuckled.

On the other side, members of the Hundred Sects Alliance watched with their hearts pounding.

"Where on earth did this Demon King come from?"

Wen Venerable, one of the three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted of the Hundred Sects Alliance, watched this scene with an unpleasant expression and silently retreated.

It would be better for the Hundred Sects Alliance not to get involved in this matter.

What if trouble came upon them?

Could the three of them take on this Demon King?

As members of the Hundred Sects Alliance continued to retreat further and further away, the Devouring Power of the Devouring Beast also gradually faded, and He Nian’s cries of pain ceased.

Thunk!

With the disappearance of the binding force, He Nian collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, one could clearly see He Nian’s body trembling as if he were standing unclothed in the snow.

Of course, He Nian was not dead at this time.

After all, the Devouring Beast did not double its strength by consuming an Energy Body, and He Nian’s Spirit Body was not weak.

However, with this attack, He Nian’s Spirit Body was already damaged by over seventy percent, barely able to protect his internal Meridians from being injured, avoiding fatal danger.

From a distance, Tian Mu saw this scene and inhaled deeply, "Thank goodness I didn’t make a move earlier, otherwise..."

Staring at the Devouring Beast in the night, Tian Mu was deeply shocked.

This was definitely the most terrifying Divine Techniques he had ever seen in a Demon.

If someone like Long Yue, a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, were trapped in a Bone Spike Cage, this attack would probably leave them with no strength to fight.

"He Nian, look after yourself."

Having said this, Tian Mu retreated further back without turning his head.

Stopping at a place so far away that no one could catch up, ready to act if needed.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping also glanced at the center of the battlefield, took a look at He Nian, frowned, and said, "Is this really all you have?"

If He Nian were to lose like this, it would be too uninteresting.

It wouldn’t even allow him to vent his anger.

"Why are you so happy? The Spirit Body is wounded, it just prevents one from fighting a prolonged battle." Sensing the excessive joy of the proud Devouring Beast, Wen Ping scolded it telepathically.

Although what had been summoned was an Undead Creature, not a personally cultivated Demon Servant, it was now still his henchman, so it was necessary to educate it about the abilities of this world’s Meridian Gate Cultivators.

A damaged Spirit Body only means He Nian can’t fight a prolonged battle or release very high-quality Vein Techniques.

This is not the end!

Back when Long Ye’s Spirit Body was severely injured, he still fought for so long.

If not for him using Expelliarmus to remove Long Ye’s Blood Axe, the fight would have lasted longer.

"Speaking of which, He Nian’s understanding of Vein Techniques is indeed stronger than Long Ye’s. To actually cultivate an Earth Level Vein Technique to the Ascendant Realm." Wen Ping murmured while walking away.

Previously, he had seen someone cultivate a Yellow Level Vein Technique to the Ascendant Realm, but he had never seen a Profound Level Vein Technique reach the Ascendant Realm.

Today, he directly witnessed an Earth Level one.

Unfortunately, despite He Nian having a good perception of Vein Techniques, he insisted on standing on the opposite side.

After being scolded by Wen Ping, the Devouring Beast fearfully withdrew its joy, leapt up at once, curled into a ball in mid-air, and descended towards He Nian like a meteor.

Seeing this, He Nian, who just now seemed unable to move, suddenly rolled continuously to one side, intent on avoiding the Devouring Beast’s attack.

Where do you think you’re going?

With a thought, the Devouring Beast caused bone spikes to burst from the ground in waves like grass, rushing after He Nian.

Each one was as sharp as a needle.

Feeling the movement from the ground, He Nian’s heart was filled with anger and resentment.

"This is too much!"

At that moment, He Nian gritted his teeth, raised his hand to draw the nearby Giant Hammer towards him, and with a carp-like flip, he sprang back to his feet. Following this, he pulled the Giant Hammer back, his waist bending like a tightly drawn bow.

Boom!

Boom!

The Giant Hammer struck down rapidly more than a dozen times.

The ground cracked open, and the wave-like bone spikes were forcibly severed.

But before He Nian could make another move, the Devouring Beast had already descended from above his head.

The massive body of the Devouring Beast slammed hard onto He Nian’s head, accompanied by a deafening crashing sound, raising thick clouds of dust, and He Nian’s presence suddenly vanished.

"Where is He Nian?"

"Did he just get smashed to death?"

From afar, witnessing this scene, Tian Mu’s brows furrowed tightly.

Involuntarily, Tian Mu asked himself, in the same situation, what would he do?

Dodge?

That would certainly be unavoidable.

Withstand it?

With the Spirit Body so badly injured, withstanding it would be suicidal.

"It seems to be over. Long Ye couldn’t beat it, and He Nian, unable to deploy Earth Level Secret Techniques again, what can he do?"

Once again, Tian Mu was glad he hadn’t acted earlier.

In the darkness, feeling the disappearance of He Nian’s presence, Long Ye couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, it wasn’t a sigh of resentment.

But rather of reflection.

"With such a weak Spirit Body, what did you intend to fight with?"

In decades, they had clashed on the battlefield many times, didn’t die by his hand but died in this small Heaven and Earth Lake.

Suddenly, however, an odor abruptly wafted through the air.

Both Tian Mu and Long Ye’s expressions changed.

He Nian’s presence reappeared and this time brought with it an unprecedented stench.

"Enough! Today, I will kill you!" In the night, amid the dense dust, He Nian’s roar echoed like thunder.

The previously weakened He Nian was nowhere to be seen.

Replaced by this crazed person, whose presence suddenly surged to an extreme.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With the vibration of the Meridian Gate, vast blood-colored Vein Qi converged from between heaven and earth, enveloping everything within a kilometer.

The familiar scene reappeared; everything within a kilometer was frozen in place.

Dust no longer fell.

The wind also froze in place.

Even time seemed to come to a standstill.

Long Ye, seeing this scene, halted in shock and exclaimed, "This He Nian... with such a weak Spirit Body yet can still cast an Earth Level Secret Technique under such severe injury. Did this guy go mad?"

Moreover, this time the power of the Secret Technique was obviously stronger than the previous one!

Just sensing it caused his heart to palpitate.

If the one covered by the Secret Technique were him, even in full victory status, with the Blood Axe in hand, he would probably face near-certain death.

This He Nian has hidden his abilities so deeply!

"Better get out of here!" Long Ye turned and bolted.

If this skeleton demon couldn’t withstand the attack, He Nian will definitely come after him!
