Chapter 652: Battle with the Demon King (Part 2)
Buzz!
The power of the Candle Dragon's eye unfolded once again, shrouding the entire area in an impenetrable darkness.
"You think you can escape like this?"
The Eternal Night Demon King shouted angrily.
He was highly displeased with this sudden darkness because he couldn't locate Xiang Beifei in the night.
But he was also aware that Xiang Beifei couldn't leave the "Holy Wing Judgment" area, so he only needed to execute multiple strikes on this region!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless spears swept out from where Xiang Beifei had just disappeared in a chaotic slaughter, nearly covering every corner of the "Holy Wing Judgment," making it impossible for Xiang Beifei to evade.
Indeed, Xiang Beifei didn't even dare to hide in the breath soil block because, with such dense attacks from the Eternal Night Demon King, the breath soil block would surely be torn apart, and then the entire Human Race in Changpan Valley would perish.
However, Xiang Beifei remained calm, merely waving his hand to instantly lay down layer upon layer of breath soil ahead of him!
Swish! Swish!
The breath soil wound around him like layers of defense, tightly enclosing Xiang Beifei.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spears flying around continued to bombard the breath soil, shattering the outer layers of defense.
But Xiang Beifei had already covered the surface of the breath soil with the formation patterns from the brick!
Moreover, he even applied the "Heavier Than Mount Tai" ability onto the breath soil, so that every spear thrust into the breath soil became slightly heavier.
Even though it was just a small increment, it was enough for Xiang Beifei to react.
Remember, the Candle Dragon's eye harms both enemies and itself equally; the opponent can't perceive the situation in the dark, and neither can Xiang Beifei.
The advantage, however, was that the Eternal Night Demon King couldn't pinpoint his location, preventing targeted attacks, thus dispersing his power, which made things easier for Xiang Beifei.
However, Xiang Beifei was keenly aware that he couldn't rely on the Candle Dragon's eye to remain hidden, as the power of Daoist Qingyang's life seed was about to dissipate. Without the protection of the burning Yang flames, Xiang Beifei on his own strength could not defeat the Eternal Night Demon King!
The result would be certain death!
So he couldn't afford to delay!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Terrifying waves rampaged, continuously bombarding the entire area.
The Eternal Night Demon King, intent on killing Xiang Beifei, struck with ruthless force, encompassing a radius of a thousand miles within his killing range.
Yet the coverage of Xiang Beifei's Candle Dragon's eye was limited, probably no more than a few dozen miles, so the Eternal Night Demon King had already learned his lesson, charging beyond the range of the Candle Dragon's eye, then manically bombarding the Candle Dragon eye's domain!
Within this thousand-mile region, there was not a living soul, and no desolate beast could survive here.
If any Meat-Winged Monster had survived earlier, it wouldn't even have ashes left now.
The breath soil around Xiang Beifei was continually shattered by the Eternal Night Demon King's spears but quickly reassembled, while he persistently shifted his position.
He was not just desperately dodging these attacks but was deducing the Eternal Night Demon King's attack methods with his twelve spears!
Learn by analogy!
Xiang Beifei's eyes gleamed with a mystical light as the Yin Yang Two Qi Formula swirled endlessly.
In reality, he couldn't see where the spears were coming from, but the protection of the breath soil provided him with information about the attacks, and each bit of breath soil destroyed formed a memory in his mind.
This was akin to a blind person reading Braille, sensing the letters by touching the raised dots.
Every place an Eternal Night Demon King's spear struck served as a point of Braille for Xiang Beifei, which he then consolidated into strategic information in his mind.
Deduction required time, and without the concealment provided by the Candle Dragon's eye, Xiang Beifei likely couldn't endure until Daoist Qingyang's power faded.
But this alone was still not enough; he needed a stronger ace!
Xiang Beifei set his sights on the Lou Constellation and Zhou Constellation in the Spirit Gathering Book.
He hadn't yet examined the Lou Constellation mainly because he had just stepped into the mid-stage of the Heavenly Connection, and his strength wasn't stable, planning to check it out later.
As for the Zhou Constellation, it was a star that could only be unsealed at the late stage of the Heavenly Connection.
He had long since gathered the spiritual power crystals to unseal these two stars, even possessing three spiritual power crystals from the Immortal Realm!
——
"I suspect you won't last much longer."
The Eternal Night Demon King coldly continued to bombard the area covered by the Candle Dragon's eye, unable to detect what had happened to Xiang Beifei, but understanding that such dense attacks were unbearable for Xiang Beifei.
During their brief earlier exchange, he clearly sensed the burning Yang flame covering Xiang Beifei gradually weakening.
With his thousand-plus years of experience, how could he not recognize that Xiang Beifei was leveraging the leftover power of Daoist Qingyang?
Relying on external power to fight wasn't something unacceptable to the Eternal Night Demon King, given their race's belief that any means achieving the goal was justifiable.
But this borrowed power would eventually dissipate, and as long as he continued to strike the opponent, exhausting his power, he would slaughter him directly!
"You are destined to die today!"
The Eternal Night Demon King increased the intensity of his attacks; the rampant spears seemed to rend the entire void.
But at this moment, the darkness suddenly dispersed!
"Is he dead?"
The Eternal Night Demon King's eyes flashed with anticipation.
He couldn't perceive that region's state, but if the darkness vanished, it likely meant he had blasted him to death!
However, the Eternal Night Demon King's gaze turned grim.
For in that area, Xiang Beifei was still standing. The breath soil before him was scattered and dust-filled, yet enigmatically, the breath soil continually shattered and reformed. Under such mighty spear attacks, even stones would be reduced to Xuwang.
But this sand miraculously reformed after being crushed!
The Eternal Night Demon King ceased his attack, scrutinizing Xiang Beifei, whose aura had indeed diminished, confirming his earlier suspicions.
Since it was certain that Xiang Beifei's strength was limited, the Eternal Night Demon King was no longer in a rush, for even without attacking, delaying would lead to the opponent's inevitable demise!
"Are you surrendering to fate?"
In the darkness, he couldn't precisely locate Xiang Beifei, but without it, this was his arena.
To the Eternal Night Demon King, Xiang Beifei forsaking his nocturnal cover to stand forth was a sign of recklessness.
Xiang Beifei gave no reply, as the breath soil around him gradually coalesced and then vanished.
He then stepped forward!
Buzz!
His right foot touched the void like stepping on water, creating ripples of black in the void beneath him, akin to a pool of ink, dark and pure.
He then took a second step forward!
Buzz!
This time his left foot also created a ripple in the void, but unlike before, this ripple was white, stark and contrasting with the black ripple beneath his other foot.
The Eternal Night Demon King frowned.
For some reason, seeing the two black and white ripples under Xiang Beifei's feet gave him a sense that something was amiss.
But he quickly regained his composure.
As he saw it, Xiang Beifei was merely making a final stand.
Yet, Xiang Beifei continued advancing towards him through the air, the black and white ripples crisscrossing, flickering, profoundly mysterious.
The Eternal Night Demon King was initially a kilometer distant from Xiang Beifei, but after taking just five steps, Xiang Beifei closed the gap to a mere twenty meters!
This unnerving advance put the Eternal Night Demon King on edge!
For he sensed something unusual!
In his "Holy Wing Judgment," no one could traverse space; they could only move through physical means.
Yet, Xiang Beifei's every step seemed to ignore spatial constraints!
How was this possible?
The Eternal Night Demon King couldn't fathom how Xiang Beifei was accomplishing this.
