Chapter 1190: Red Jade Mantis Horde!
Yue Zhong had an icy and cruel look, his fists slamming out at those Type 9 Devils.
Those who were at the initial-Type 9 and mid-Type 9 realms, as long as they got struck by Yue Zhong's fist, their bodies would burst apart.
After 4 of their experts fell under Yue Zhong's hands, none of them got close to Yue Zhong any further. Instead, they channeled their laws and began to execute their techniques from afar.
At that instant, numerous black beams containing laws struck towards Yue Zhong.
Right behind Yue Zhong, the peak-Type 9 Bull-head Dragon Devil also roared out furiously, the silver ax in his hands covered with countless green lightning bolts, striking at Yue Zhong as well.
"Armor!"
Yue Zhong barked out coldly, and the Gold-Grade Battle Armor covered his body, radiating brightly while the 9 Type 9 nuclei behind shone, and a powerful strength coursed through him, pushing his strength to the peak of the Type 9-realm.
After obtaining that fearsome strength, Yue Zhong charged through the sky, dodging most of the lightning, while some struck his armor, and bounced off, striking the Devils.
The attacks of the Devils slammed into Yue Zhong and was also deflected off to hit the other Devils by the side.
The lightning attack of the Bull-head Dragon Demon was extremely powerful, striking the Devils, immediately causing them to go numb, and they went into shock.
At that instant, Yue Zhong charged through the Devils, punching out like he was passing judgment, immediately blasting their bodies apart.
As for the attacks of those Type 9 Devils, when they were deflected off, they did not manage to harm Yue Zhong much.
The peak-Type 9 Bull-head Dragon Demon was like an assistant to Yue Zhong, his lightning attacks completely bouncing off Yue Zhong, striking the rest of the Devils, causing them to be stunned momentarily before Yue Zhong finished them.
The Gold-Grade Armor was able to reflect most Type 9 attacks, and in such a chaotic battlefield, it was extremely effective. Yue Zhong continued to weave through the battlefield, invincible and everywhere he went, the Devils would be killed, heavily injured, and those who could flee far to avoid him.
Following Yue Zhong's wanton slaughter of the Devils, the inner life force in him was accumulating swiftly. The life force of the Type 9 experts were the most precious ingredients.
"Audacious human!!"
As Yue Zhong was going on a slaughter, the half-step True God experts hidden with the Heavenly Devil Palace let out an enraged roar. A burst of Devil Qi churned out, as it reformed into a hideous-looking expert, who had deep-set eyes, a hooked nose, and 8 spider legs behind his back. This was an expert from the Heavenly Spider Devil race.
The Heavenly Spider Devil race had a terrifying strength and loved to devour all sorts of life forms. There were some who were even able to take on and consume Type 9 powerhouses while they were still at the half-step Type 9 realm. Their combat strength was formidable. Of course, they were low in numbers, with only a few hundred, however, each and every single member of their race was a terrifying existence.
The half-step True God expert began to threaten Yue Zhong, "Human, hand over that armor to the mighty King Jeffery. I can pardon your offenses and take you in as my servant. You will be allowed to reign over 150 million people, and become their king, and partake in the pleasures of life. Furthermore, as long as I can break through this cage and escape from the world, I will help you to become a true Devil-level expert, immortal and invincible!! If you choose to decline, when I capture you, I will tear you limb from limb, sinew from your tendons, and throw you into a pit of worms, to be fed to those bugs!"
When the human race broke through this cage, they would consider the Type 10 experts as True God warriors. However, to the Devil Race, they called them the True Devil warriors.
"Oh! I choose to take down your head and flush it down the toilet bowl." Yue Zhong chuckled coldly, and his body flickered, transcending space as he made for the half-step True God Jeffery.
"Fool! The might of a half-step True Devil expert is nothing the likes of an ant like you can understand!! I shall show you the distance between the both of us!!"
Jeffery shot into the sky, eyeing Yue Zhong as he laughed coldly. With his fingers outstretched, black lines containing laws shot out, assaulting Yue Zhong.
Facing those countless lines, Yue Zhong directly executed his strongest technique, the Cosmic Finger, as a cosmos suddenly appeared and pressed down on the lines.
"A True-God technique eh? It might be powerful, but you are still too weak!! You can't even bring out 30% of its power!! What a waste! Let me show you how I'll break it!!"
Jeffery looked at the cosmos and laughed coldly. His black lines trembled slightly, and stuck onto the cosmos before a huge suction began to exert through them. The cosmos then began to shrink at a pace visible to the eye, before finally disappearing.
At the same time, the lines continued to surge forwards at a frenzied speed, spinning around Yue Zhong.
The black lines did not specifically attack Yue Zhong, instead, they stuck onto him with some strange sticky law, and wrapped around him, turning into a black cocoon.
There was no offensive strength in those lines, thus, the Gold Battle Armor had no way of reflecting anything, and could only allow the strings to wrap around Yue Zhong.
Inside the cocoon, Yue Zhong's face fell as he struggled. The lines seemed to have a life of their own, continuing to wrap around him. At the same time, they exuded a sweet scent, causing one to slowly go into a stupor.
Yue Zhong only took a whiff and he was starting to become drowsy. Hs thoughts slowed slightly before he regained clarity, and he was taken aback, "Not good!! What a terrifying half-step True God expert. This fellow did not even utilize any Gold-Grade treasure, and I almost fell at his hands. If it was not for the Battle Armor, I would have been captured!"
A single second to a Type 9 powerhouse was enough to let them execute over 100,000 fits, and capture Yue Zhong a hundred times over. If it was not for the Battle Armor still protecting Yue Zhong, he would truly be ensnared.
These black lines were called the Black Devil Silk, and one of Jeffery's strongest techniques. Once caught, a half-step True God expert would lose control over his body, and be captured.
"Burn for me!!"
With a thought, Yue Zhong channeled his Flame Domain with all his might, and the terrifying God-Devil Flames burst out with him at the center, incinerating everything in its path, burning up the Black Devil Silk as well.
The Flame Domain was the bane of all silk and strings-related domains. Under the burning of the God-Devil Flames, the Black Devil Silk around Yue Zhong began to disintegrate, turning into flames as they floated away.
At the same time that the silk was burning up, Yue Zhong charged through the broken cocoon and retreated explosively.
In this battle with Jeffery, Yue Zhong had seen clearly the difference in strength. Even if he had the Gold-Grade Battle Armor, against a half-step True God-expert, it was still possible to be defeated. He had killed many Type 9 Devils and had earned plenty of life force. A retreat was the best option for him right now.
If all the half-step True Devil-experts of the 10,000-Devil Altar were to act, then Yue Zhong might not even be able to escape.
"Fleeing?"
Jeffery had not expected Yue Zhong to actually escape from his Black Devil Silk and he was full of shock. With a flash, he immediately turned into a beam of light that chased after Yue Zhong.
After equipping the Battle Armor, Yue Zhong pushed with all his speed, even surpassing some half-step True God experts. Jeffery went all out but was unable to close the distance between the both of them.
Yue Zhong chose to head towards the direction of the Goat-head Dragon Devils and Bull-head Dragon Devils. After more than 50,000 li, there was a huge black nest on the ground, reaching over 500m in height, and there was a powerful ring of light that seemed to radiate outwards, containing spatial laws.
Yue Zhong stared at that huge ring of light and sensing the pursuit of Jeffery, he gritted his teeth and shot towards the light, "That is the definitely the door to the next level of the Tower of Babel!! There's no time to think, I'd better head up first!"
Just as Yue Zhong was nearing that huge nest, out flew numerous Type 9 Red Jade Mantises, each of them looking like scarlet crystals, shooting towards Yue Zhong with insane speed.
In an instant, over 50,000 of them had flown out, lunging for both Yue Zhong and Jeffery.
"Damn it!!"
Seeing the 50,000 Type 9 Red Jade Mantises, Jeffery's face fell, and he quickly retreated.
As a half-step True God expert, he could easily kill 10 of them. However, faced with a figure of 50,000, it was definitely impossible for him to make it out alive.
"Chance!!"
Yue Zhong was not afraid, instead, he charged right through, and started to pummel them one by one, absorbing their life force.
