Chapter 1169 - A Terrifying Battle (1/2)
The demonic heads kept exploding and the originally not too stable passage became even more unstable. The black hole slowly twisted and then distorted. The speed at which it was collapsing kept increasing and it wouldn’t take more than a few seconds before it thoroughly collapsed.
Del Rovana laughed crazily. She even whipped at the crumbling passage to disperse the golden red light emerging from it, sealing away any chance the Raging Flame Emperor could have had to escape.
At that time, a several-kilometer-long huge tentacle whipped at the passage that had already transformed into a whirlpool. Those golden red lights grabbed onto it as if it was a rope and rushed out of that passage with the help of that tentacle. It was as if a golden red bridge of light flew out of the shattered space.
The bridge of light spread over several kilometers and the silhouette of the Raging Flame Emperor could be seen at the end. As for Del Rovana’s tentacle, it was torn apart within the collapsed passage, almost pulling Del Rovana in.
The Raging Flame Emperor was pale, and his shabby armor had become dilapidated. His body was covered in blood. He was like a warrior taking his last stand, powerful and tragic.
As for Del Rovana, she was covered in black smoke and only her eyes burning with black flames could be seen shining through the black smoke.
The fierce battle was extremely fast. The conclusion could be determined every single second. Who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage kept switching. But now, everyone could see that the Raging Flame Emperor couldn’t continue fighting. If no other power joined the fight, the Raging Flame Emperor would inevitably be defeated.
Lin Yun and the others were standing at the edge of the battlefield, their complexion extremely pale. The earlier black hole was a passage leading into nothingness. There the space was pitch-black and there was no light, no sound, no air, no mana.
Even the feeling of time passing couldn’t be felt there, it was an endless void. If they fell there, their fate would be even more terrifying than death. It was a never-ending torture derived from loneliness and the pitch-black darkness, it would never end.
That was the place Demons were most frightened of, yet, a kilometer-long passage to that place had been opened and maintained for more than ten seconds!
The most frightening part was that these two guys managed to escape after falling into that passage.
This wasn’t a power that Low Rank Heaven powerhouses could deal with.
As the battle between the Raging Flame Emperor and Del Rovana continued, Lin Yun suddenly spoke out.
“Are you going to keep watching?”
Lin Yun’s calm voice made everyone look at him. The Beastmen all had pale complexions. One of them opened his mouth as he was about to mock Lin Yun, but for some reason, he couldn’t say a word.
Morgan looked at that inhuman battle with shaking legs before looking at Lin Yun with disbelief and shock.
‘Damn, is Sir Merlin crazy? The battle between these two guys isn’t something we can handle, when they are next to the God’s body, their strength definitely exceeds the Heaven Rank.
‘Even now, they are incomparably stronger than Cross and Clombton, the strongest among us. We are merely weaklings that have just advanced to the Heaven Rank, how could we interfere in this kind of battle?
‘This must be a joke, just one of those tentacles is over a hundred meters in thickness and several-hundred-meter long. That’s the tentacle of Greater Demon Overlord!?
‘Roaming in the void of the endless Abyss, feeding on the remnants of some huge creatures, or even devouring some newly birthed planes. A tentacle of that kind of monster would shatter our shields and end our lives with one lash.
‘You still want to join the battle?’
No one spoke. Clombton held his staff, the holy light power surrounding his body was stirred, but he didn’t make a decision. As for Cross, his eyes had turned red, but he remained silent.
After all, those two were clearly too powerful.
“The Raging Flame Emperor might be able to kill the other one. The other side might be stronger, but she also turned crazy…” A Beastman hesitantly said, and the others didn’t refute this.
But Lin Yun knew the course of history. Even if it somewhat changed, there wouldn’t be a huge difference. At least, if the power behind the changes wasn’t great enough, the ending was foreordained.
And in history, Del Rovana ended up devouring the entire Raging Flame Plane. Without any external help, the Raging Flame Emperor would inevitably be defeated.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain this to the others.
Lin Yun took a step forward and took out his Draconic Staff. The Book of Death was in his left hand. Enderfa and the Spell Wheel floated on Lin Yun’s right while the Book of Mantras and Syudos floated on Lin Yun’s left.
Fierce mana gushed out of Lin Yun’s body like a berserk tide. It transformed into ripples that kept spreading towards the surroundings. Droplets floated around Lin Yun, those were liquefied dense mana. He spared no mana, and the mana was pure enough to take shape.
“The Raging Flame Emperor is very powerful, and he is also wise. But the wager is the Raging Flame Plane. As long as the Raging Flame Emperor is defeated, the Raging Flame Plane and all lives here would die.
“Even if that crazy woman leaves this place, what will happen to Noscent is a foregone conclusion. That lunatic definitely won’t let Noscent off.
“Don’t rely on the hope that she won’t be able to find Noscent’s coordinates, they are the souls of the 73rd God born in Noscent.”
After indifferently saying those words, Lin Yun flew towards the Raging Flame Emperor.
As for the others, their complexion thoroughly changed. No one dared to think that Lin Yun was just scaring them off.
Because Del Rovana had said those words herself, no one dared to keep watching the fighting, they didn’t dare to gamble.
The price for losing the gamble would be the Raging Flame Plane and Noscent. No one doubted that this lunatic woman would do as she said.
“Damn it, get rid of her! If we have to die sooner or later, then I’d rather stake it all! Fight her! I want her to remember my name!”
Morgan gnashed his teeth and stomped his foot. He then summoned his Darkness Elemental God and followed behind Lin Yun.
“The radiance of the holy light does not show concern for any mage scared of evil. All evils have to be banished and cleansed.”
Clombton took out his holy light staff and followed behind them, Butler behind him. As for the other humans, they could no longer hesitate and flew out.
As the seven human Heaven Rank powerhouses made their move, Cross’ eyes turned red and he used his finger to cut his cheek and smear blood on the golden greatsword in his hands.
“Beastmen never surrender! Remember our precept! The Raging Flame Plane is our homeland, are we planning to rely on the despicable humans to save our homeland?
“F*ck, I’d rather die than be known as a coward!”
Cross flew out with red eyes. As for the other Beastmen, they imitated Cross and cut their own cheek and smeared blood on their weapons before flying out.
This was a Beastman ritual conducted when they were about to fight to the death. Their weapons would bear the weight of their souls, and when they returned to the earth, some of their power would be inherited by the weapons and they would become a kind of totem to be passed down.
The fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses burst with their strongest might as they flew over. The Raging Flame Emperor looked over and a complex and gratified expression flashed in his eyes.
Beastmen never surrender, this was the belief that the Raging Flame Emperor had spread when conquering the Raging Flame Plane.
“A group of repulsive insects wants to shake a great God’s toe? Insects, you should obediently lie down on the ground and tremble!”
