Chapter 415: The Flame Demon King Descends, Jiang Chen's Plan

The Demon Worship Society's full‑scale counterattack erupted, apparently set to clash with Hong Jishi in a fight‑to‑the‑death showdown.

They summon Demons from the Abyss, and together with their own members, lay siege to the major universities.

Members of the Demon Worship Society have surfaced within the faculty councils of the major universities, showing the depth of their long‑term infiltration.

These universities are not easy opponents either; they possess powerful Divine-level Strongmen.

Shenlong University, Zhenduan University and other top institutions each have Divine-level Strongmen.

Even if other universities lack Divine-level Strongmen, they still have many top cultivators above level 85, and even Pseudo‑God beings.

The Demon Worship Society's turmoil made the whole world feel the might of the Shenlong Empire.

It turns out the Empire hides a great number of strongmen.

Normally only about a dozen Divine-level Strongmen are visible, but at this moment there are clearly more than twenty.

Other nations were merely watching the spectacle before, but now they begin to feel fear and awe.

They start to worry whether the Shenlong Empire harbors even deeper, more powerful presences.

No one can fathom the Shenlong Empire.

Within the Instance, the Flame Demon King emerged from the Abyssal Fire, finally allowing Jiang Chen to see its true form.

The Flame Demon King is spherical, with a diameter exceeding three meters.

Its two eyes occupy more than 70% of its body, and no nose or mouth is visible.

Tentacles grow on its body, several of which are especially thick and appear to serve as limbs.

It radiates blazing flames everywhere; wherever it goes the temperature spikes sharply, the ground melts, and space warps and deforms.

"No wonder we only see one eye normally; it actually looks like this."

Jiang Chen had only ever seen the Flame Demon King's eyes before.

He hadn't expected it to look so strange.

The Flame Demon King has no expression, it

its emotions can be seen in the blazing fire.

"Hehehe, Jiang Chen, you won't escape this time," the Flame Demon King let out a snarling laugh, as if it had already sealed Jiang Chen's fate.

Jiang Chen likewise stared at the Flame Demon King, feeling its aura.

He sensed something was off.

Jiang Chen was no longer dealing with Divine-level Strongmen for the first time.

Moreover, he had slain a Demon King Clone and directly experienced the Demon King's overwhelming aura.

The Flame Demon King before him didn't seem as powerful as imagined.

Yet its true form is indeed present, stronger than the Minotaur Demon Clone he had killed, but weaker than the true Minotaur Demon.

It lies between the two.

In Hong Jishi's words, the Minotaur Demon King is already the lowest among the many Demon Kings.

Then, thinking it over, Jiang Chen found an answer in his mind, "You seem a bit weak— is it because the sacrificial power is insufficient, or because the Instance rules are suppressing you?"

"You schemed to alter the Instance rules, yet you still couldn't fully change them."

The Instance does have rules that forbid overly powerful forces from entering.

The Flame Demon King employed a special method to temporarily bend the rules and allow its entry, but it cannot completely overturn them.

The rules still exist, still suppressing it.

The Flame Demon King chuckled, "Your detection is truly sharp; you even saw that."

"So what? Even if my power is only one‑tenth, killing you would still be effortless."

Jiang Chen looked around; under the influence of the Abyssal Fire, many monsters in the Instance had mutated.

They are stronger than before, and their vitality has increased dramatically.

Silently, several Detection Techniques were consecutively launched.

"Mutated Plateau Wolf"

"Level

: 52

"Strength: 50000"

"Agility: 50000"

"Spirit: 10000"

"Constitution: 40000"

"Skill: Roar, Pounce"

"Trait: Dark Element Damage Reduced 30%"

The Plateau Wolf mutated, its level rising from 46 to 52.

Its attributes surged, reaching a total of 150,000.

Normally, Large-scale Dungeon monsters have difficulty comparable to Hell Difficulty monsters of the same level, and their attributes are similar.

A level‑52 Hell Difficulty Instance monster typically has total attributes just over 100,000, while a boss monster can exceed 200,000.

Now the monsters here, soaked in Abyssal Fire and mutated, have total attributes surpassing those of normal level‑52 Hell Difficulty Instance monsters.

It's not just the Plateau Wolf; other monsters are the same.

By this measure, a boss is equivalent to a leader.

A leader may even have higher attributes than a World BOSS.

Only lacking some of the World BOSS's special attributes.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen formed a definite plan.

He also knows how to deal with the Flame Demon King.

A slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "If we were elsewhere, your words wouldn't be a problem."

"But now…"

The Flame Demon King blinked slightly, "But what?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, his Lightning Wing burst open with a bang, carrying him instantly toward the depths of the Instance.

He wouldn't tell the Flame Demon King that monsters littered the ground here, and his own weapons were everywhere.

"Try to escape, dream on!" the Flame Demon King dragged fierce flames and chased after him.

The Flame Demon King's speed was not much slower than Jiang Chen's, and in the Instance there was nowhere for Jiang Chen to run.

The Flame Demon King roared with laughter, "Stop dreaming, you can't get away."

"

Obey and let me kill you; I guarantee I'll burn you to ash with nothing left."

As he spoke, beams of death rays shot out.

Jiang Chen constantly shifted his position in the air to dodge.

In the past, there was no way he could have evaded the death rays.

But now, his attributes have greatly increased, his combat experience is rich, and the Lightning Wing gives him astonishing speed, allowing him to dodge the death‑ray attacks....

The Flame Demon King pursued Jiang Chen, laughing wildly, "Don't waste your tricks, you can't escape."

Escape?

Jiang Chen never even considered escaping.

In the blink of an eye, he was already flying over Plateau Three.

Among Plateaus One to Four, Plateau Four is filled with boss monsters, while monsters are relatively scarce.

Plateau Three has the most monsters.

While Jiang Chen was flying, the Undead Legion silently deployed below.

The Skeletons began pulling monsters, gathering them together.

Jiang Chen thought clearly: the two major skills he could rely on to kill the Flame Demon King.

One is Corpse Explosion, the other is "Strong Soldier".

After all, the opponent is a Demon King; he must be slain in one blow, leaving no chance to react.

Given his experience in the Fusishi Jie, fighting Divine‑level beings, in the "Strong Soldier" state he can stand toe‑to‑toe with Divine‑level beings for a while.

Now the Flame Demon King's power is suppressed, still not comparable to those guys in the Fusishi Jie.

Thus, after weighing all conditions, Jiang Chen feels he has a full chance to accomplish the feat of reverse‑slashing the Demon King.

A portion of the monsters on Plateau Three have already been gathered, amounting to one‑third.

The remaining, farther‑away monsters are still being pulled in.

The time left for Lightning Wing dwindles, Jiang Chen slowed his speed, letting the Flame Demon King gradually

approach him.

Seeing this, the Flame Demon King laughed heartily, "What, can't you fly anymore?"

"Given your level, possessing a flight skill already surprises this King greatly."

"But how long can you keep flying! Skills always have cooldowns!"

Jiang Chen remained silent.

Below, Skeleton Berserkers acted, silently sniping a few monsters in an instant.

At this moment, Jiang Chen retracted his Lightning Wing, and his whole body plummeted downward rapidly.

At the same time, a hint of 'terror' appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

It looked as if the skill had reached its limit, and he fell out of helplessness.

The Flame Demon King harbored no doubt, pursued again, and his speed was even faster.

Almost the instant Jiang Chen touched the ground, the Flame Demon King also slammed onto the earth.

With a thunderous boom, the ground quaked, and flames swept across the earth.

The surrounding monsters were blasted away, and even the corpse Jiang Chen had prepared was hurled hundreds of meters.

White Light flickered on Jiang Chen's body, Bone Armor blocked a wave of flame impact, then burst with a bang.

A massive amount of damage flowed from him into the Undead Legion, the Skeletons were injured one after another, and the Lich General hurriedly performed healing.

Even though his power was suppressed, the Flame Demon King is still a Demon King, equivalent to a Human Race Divine‑level Strongman, with overwhelming attack power.

The Flame Demon King laughed heartily, "You think this King doesn't know what you're up to."

"Isn't it that you want to explode me with a corpse? How could this King possibly give you that chance."

Jiang Chen sighed lightly in his heart, "Indeed, Demon Kings aren't fools."

"But…"
