Chapter 570: Jiang Ruo Rushed In to Save the Day, the Demon Emperor's Great Power

Everyone was deeply shocked.

The Skeleton King's throne abruptly appeared, accompanied by gusts of chilling black wind and a heavy aura of death, as if a realm of death had been dragged straight into this reality.

When the thirty‑meter‑tall Skeleton King slowly rose from the throne, the onlookers widened their eyes in disbelief.

Formed from seventy thousand skeletons, the Skeleton King boasts astonishingly high values in every attribute, with a total attribute that is jaw‑dropping.

It is already infinitely close to Divine Level, and with Jiang Chen's Strong Soldier skill, it directly broke the limit, reaching the Divine Level tier—yet it is not an ordinary Divine Level.

Nevertheless, this is still far from enough.

Facing them is the Demon Emperor; even across the Space-time Portal, the Demon Emperor's power is incalculable.

Only a Half-step Super God can contend with him.

In many people's minds, the Skeleton King still seems feeble.

But Jiang Chen remains unmoved.

He knows the true value of the Strong Soldier skill lies not merely in pushing attributes beyond Divine Level.

More importantly, it grants an extra 500% damage effect.

The Skeleton King's will merges with Jiang Chen's will, locking onto the Demon Emperor's outstretched massive hand.

Two powerful skills activate simultaneously.

"God‑Slash: unleashes damage equal to ten times its own strength attribute, striking a single target or an area, cooldown 1 minute."

"Elemental Riot: unleashes elemental damage equal to ten times its own spirit attribute, striking a single target or an area, cooldown 1 minute."

Under the Strong Soldier state, the Skeleton King's strength attribute reaches an unprecedented height, not inferior at all even compared with most Divine-level Strongmen.

However, the Amplify of the Strong Soldier skill becomes limited after Divine Level, no longer a simple 200% increase.

Likewise, the true power of a skill cannot be measured solely by numbers. After Divine Level, a skill's strength and magnitude depend more on mastery, integration, and other factors.

The Skeleton King gathers all its power, preparing to clash with the Demon Emperor.

Sometimes, even a trivial one‑tenth increase in attribute can cause a qualitative leap in attack power due to a skill's special effect.

At this moment, Jiang Chen places all his hope on the God‑Slash skill, combined with the Strong Soldier skill's 500% extra damage; this is the Skeleton King's current limit of power.

Not only God‑Slash, but Elemental Riot is also highly anticipated.

A fierce sword light slashes across the sky; this sword beam, over a kilometer long, seems to tear the very fabric of space.

A deafening roar erupts in the heavens, like a black void torn apart by a ripping cloth.

Feng Anzai watches in stunned amazement; even a strongman like him could never wield such a terrifying sword.

This sword of the Skeleton King surpasses his very comprehension.

Jiang Chen's might at this moment also exceeds Feng Anzai's imagination.

The sword light slashes fiercely into the Demon Emperor's outstretched massive palm, marking Jiang Chen's second direct clash with the Demon Emperor.

The previous time, in the Divine Dragon Ancient City, he barely forced the Demon Emperor to retreat by harnessing the power of the Divine Dragon Ancient Tower.

But this time, the Demon Emperor clearly came prepared, and Jiang Chen feels a hint of unease.

The Law Crystal is clenched tightly in his hand; if this strike fails, he is already ready to give his all.

The sword light collides with the Demon Emperor's massive palm, emitting a deafening boom, lighting the sky as bright as day.

Then, the surrounding elements become wildly chaotic, exploding crazily upon the Demon Emperor's palm.

The two skills—one primarily physical, the other elemental—complement each other, unleashing astonishing power.

The Demon Emperor's massive palm trembles violently a few times, showing visible cracks.

Jiang Chen feels a surge of hope, sensing a chance. Yet in that instant, the Demon Emperor's palm clenches hard, a thunderous bang, and all attacks are crushed into foam.

After pausing for only a second, the Demon Emperor's palm reaches again for the Soul‑Grinding Disk.

Though slightly disappointed, Jiang Chen understands this outcome was not unexpected.

The Skeleton King swings its massive greatsword toward the Demon Emperor's palm. Its cape flutters in the wind, turning into a dazzling White Light that slams hard onto the palm.

Simultaneously, the Skeleton King erupts with brilliant silver radiance, interwoven with golden gleams, dazzlingly spectacular.

"Absolute Defense: 99% immunity to all damage, immunity to all negative states, duration 1 minute, cooldown 10 minutes."

The Skeleton King activates its final skill—Absolute Defense.

This skill is stronger than a Knight's Limit Defense; within one minute, Jiang Chen believes the Skeleton King will be invincible.

However, despite the Skeleton King standing about 20 meters tall, it still appears somewhat tiny before the Demon Emperor's massive palm.

The Demon Emperor's palm grasps the Skeleton King and squeezes hard!

Boom!

The Skeleton King shatters into fragments under the Demon Emperor's palm; Jiang Chen is so shocked he can barely breathe, and the Soul Energy conduit in his hand ceases instantly.

"How could this be!" he mutters, his face full of disbelief.

"Scared, huh? Haha!" Suddenly, Antares's voice echoes in his mind, with a hint of mockery.

Jiang Chen is stunned; how could Antares be here? He feels bewildered.

"Don't stare blankly; I'm merely attached to her through a will," Antares explains.

With Antares's voice, a dazzling figure appears in Jiang Chen's sight. In the sky, a massive fire phoenix soars with outstretched wings, and atop it stands a woman in red, stunningly beautiful and extraordinarily gorgeous.

Jiang Ruo wields twin swords, stands upon the fire phoenix, her aura like a rainbow, her heroic bearing radiant.

"Phoenix dances across the nine heavens!" With Jiang Ruo's crisp, lilting shout, the fire phoenix lets out a thunderous cry, like a blazing meteor, slamming hard into the Demon Emperor's massive palm.

The Demon Emperor's palm recoils sharply under the phoenix's impact, the entire hand engulfed by scorching flames. The phoenix's power is so great it can even burn the Demon Emperor.

At this moment, Jiang Chen notices that his sister Jiang Ruo has already risen into the ranks of Divine-level Strongmen. Such cultivation speed is breathtaking—reaching Divine Level in three years, unprecedented in Human Race history.

Jiang Chen does not know whether anyone in the previous era could achieve Divine Level within three years, but in this era Jiang Ruo is undeniably unique.

Jiang Ruo's twin swords cross, flames blaze around her, and she dances gracefully amid the fire; the scene is so beautiful it takes one's breath away. A single glance immerses the viewer, unable to look away.

Even the Succubus's enchantment technique pales in comparison to Jiang Ruo.

"Dragon Flame Burns the Heavens!" Jiang Ruo cried out again, and a hundred‑meter‑long Fire Dragon instantly coiled in the sky, like a roaring giant dragon, slamming hard into the Demon Emperor's massive palm.

The Demon Emperor's massive palm recoiled again under the Fire Dragon's impact, but then returned to its original state, as if all the attacks were merely a tickle to it.

Jiang Ruo's two Skills, though appearing splendid and powerful, were in fact not as shocking as Ku Lou Wang's single attack.

Ku Lou Wang's two attacks both displayed astonishing power, completely exceeding Jiang Chen's expectations.

Yet, the moment the final strike broke through Absolute Defense, it also left Jiang Chen utterly shocked.

Yet Jiang Chen did not retreat because of it.

After a few seconds, a dark wind rose again in the sky, and the massive Ku Lou Wang throne reappeared like a ghost. Ku Lou Wang slowly rose from the throne, his momentum undiminished.

Although the Demon Emperor succeeded in slaying Ku Lou Wang, Ku Lou Wang was actually composed of Skeletons; they did not die, but were Reborn in the Summon Queue, fully restored. Jiang Chen then used them to summon Ku Lou Wang again.

Ku Lou Wang's second appearance retained the effect of the Strong Soldier Skill, with over twenty seconds remaining. Everything that happened before, from Ku Lou Wang's destruction to the re‑summon, actually only spanned two or three seconds.

The re‑summoned Ku Lou Wang had all his Skills refreshed. He swung his Long Sword again, ready to launch an attack.

"God‑Slash!"

"Elemental Riot!"

The two powerful Skills were released again, striking straight at the Demon Emperor's massive palm.

This time the Demon Emperor's massive palm did not passively endure the attack; it actively reached toward Ku Lou Wang. The Skill landed on the Demon Emperor's palm, the cracks deepening as if it could shatter at any moment.

The light of God‑Slash and the Elemental Riot inflicted some tangible damage on the Demon Emperor's palm, yet the Demon Emperor's power remained overwhelmingly great. The massive palm clenched Ku Lou Wang tightly and then squeezed harder.

Ku Lou Wang's whole body shimmered with silver‑and‑gold light, the effect of the Absolute Defense Skill. However, even such defense appeared fragile under the Demon Emperor's massive palm.

Another deafening crash rang out, and Ku Lou Wang was crushed again, turning into fragments.

Jiang Chen did not give up; seizing the chance, he decisively linked a tether of soul energy to Jiang Ruo. A massive influx of soul power poured into Jiang Ruo, granting Jiang Ruo strong support.

Jiang Ruo did not resist, openly accepting Jiang Chen's help. Yet Antares's voice sounded again: "Useless, your Skills are so insignificant before the Demon King's power."

Jiang Chen asked in confusion, "Why?"

Antares explained, "It is the power of the law; no matter how strong your attributes, how high your defense, even tenfold, you cannot match the Demon Emperor's power. In the face of his law‑power, even your strongest Skeleton Defense will collapse instantly."

Antares's words left Jiang Chen feeling desperate; his previous tactics were completely ineffective against a foe like the Demon Emperor.

"I won't believe it!" Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, summoned the Skeletons again, causing Ku Lou Wang to appear a third time. This time, he also summoned an undead lich, using an Undead Aura to give the Skeletons another chance at Rebirth.

He will try once more; if it still fails, he will have to resort to the law crystal.
