Chapter 678: It Turns Out Not the Demon Emperor?

Jiang Chen's arrival simultaneously attracted the attention of six high-level Demon Kings. They were ordered to surround Li Xueru and his two companions without killing them, only to wound them and not kill.

The purpose was simply to wait for Jiang Chen's arrival.

Now the main one has arrived, and the six high-level Demon Kings all sneered. The plan has proceeded smoothly so far; Li Xueru and his two companions were drawn in and trapped.

Now the real big fish has also arrived; it's time to cast the net.

In the plan, not only Li Xueru and his two companions are to die, Jiang Chen is also destined to die. However, the ones killing Li Xueru and his companions are them, while Jiang Chen's killer is someone else.

In fact, they do not understand why a mere 76th-level Human Race youngster requires such treatment designed by the Demon Emperor and Long Huang.

But they need not understand; they only have to follow orders. As for the Undead Legion behind Jiang Chen, they pay it no mind.

"Make your move!"

The six Demon Kings exchanged glances, preparing to strike Li Xueru and his two companions. "What is that?" a Demon King suddenly asked, his gaze falling on Jiang Chen.

On Jiang Chen's palm, a crystal imbued with law aura was radiating brilliant light.

The high-level Demon Kings are very familiar with the law; they deal with it daily,

but when the law appears in the hands of a mere 76th-level Human Professional, it becomes odd,

Jiang Chen, holding the Law Divine Crystal obtained from the Thunder God's hand, had his soul lock onto the six high-level Demon Kings.

Skill: Corpse Explosion

The Law Divine Crystal shattered, disappearing from his palm.

【Corpse Explosion (Fusion Rate 20%), detonates a corpse or wreckage, dealing 20% of the target's pre-death HP as damage to the specified target within a 100‑meter radius.】

Although the damage is only 20% of HP, a talent bonus amplifies the skill effect by 80 times.

Its effect is at least equivalent to a deity's full‑force strike in life, and even exceeds it.

The Thunder God was once a Super God‑level being; at the start of the great battle he was struck and fell from the divine altar, severely weakening him.

Yet the law still persisted within them; the Thunder God later returned to a 95th-level peak, and before dying he condensed his lifelong power into a Law Divine Crystal.

Jiang Chen once summoned an elemental lich to detonate a Law Divine Crystal, and the result was fairly good.

This time, using the Corpse Explosion that has merged into his soul, turning from a skill into a spell, directly detonates the Law Divine Crystal, so its power must be greater.

However, Jiang Chen is unsure exactly how strong it can become.

As Jiang Chen cast the skill, the six high-level Demon Kings' expressions changed dramatically at once, each breeding a bad omen.

But it was already too late.

Purple lightning burst before his eyes, the power of the thunder‑and‑lightning law slammed onto him, and the six Demon Kings screamed in agony simultaneously.

Their bodies were blown apart, and in the sky seemed to appear a towering thunder deity, raining down thunderous wrath upon them.

After the screams, the six Demon Kings were blasted into the air, their bodies almost half‑destroyed, leaving only half a life,

The strike was astonishingly powerful, even Jiang Chen himself was a bit shocked. Though still far from the Thunder God's golden‑era strike, it at least reached the pinnacle of high-level deities, not far from Half-step Super God.

With a single blow, the six Demon Kings were collectively wounded.

Li Xueru and his two companions were also stunned; they could never have imagined Jiang Chen could become this powerful.

"Xiao Chen's skill is so strong," Lao Hong sighed.

"Sigh, that's enough."

Yan Kuangsheng muttered as well.

At this moment, they were both happy and oddly disappointed. They truly felt old.

Li Xueru said irritably, "Why are you staring? Move!"

"Alright!"

The three acted simultaneously, seizing the heavily wounded six Demon Kings to unleash their momentum.

Their attacks, infused with law, struck the Barrier at once, causing it to quake violently and appear on the verge of collapse.

"Again!"

Li Xueru roared and attacked again.

With the Barrier no longer sustained by the six Demon Kings, it exploded under the three's assault.

At this moment, the law aura in Jiang Chen's hand flickered again.

The second Law Divine Crystal was detonated,

Purple light filled the sky, as if the Thunder God himself had arrived, unleashing another earth‑shaking thunder sea

The already heavily wounded six Demon Kings' expressions changed dramatically as they simultaneously activated their strongest defensive skill.

Lightning burst before them again, their screams continued. They were more severely injured, barely clinging to life,

Jiang Chen produced a third Law Divine Crystal,

"Enough!"

A booming shout rang out, and a massive hand appeared in the sky, gathering all six Demon Kings,

The giant palm, imbued with astonishing law, tore a rift in the air, severing the six Demon Kings' qi thoughts,

Jiang Chen's spiritual threads could no longer lock onto them.

In his heart, he thought that achieving this step could only be done by, needless to say, the Demon Emperor.

Jiang Chen sped toward Li Xueru and the others.

"Teacher, are you all right?"

"We're fine," Li Xueru replied, his expression now solemn.

Compared to the Demon Emperor, the six high-level Demon Kings are nothing.

Even if Jiang Chen can heavily wound high-level Demon Kings, he may still not defeat the Demon Emperor,

The Demon Emperor's massive palm, after gathering the six Demon Kings, did not act; its voice thundered across the world. "Long Huang, I have already done what I must as this emperor; the rest is yours."

"."

A sudden dragon roar echoed in the void, "Good!"

The Demon Emperor's massive hand seized six Demon Kings and tore through the void without pausing. Jiang Chen then realized that the one who intended to strike him was not the Demon Emperor, but Long Huang.

Long Huang had actually arrived in the Abyss World.

"What a surprise!" Jiang Chen whispered, "Master, you've entered my Demon‑Slaying Tower."

Jiang Chen summoned the Demon‑Slaying Tower; the tower also possessed its own independent space, capable of housing living beings.

Li Xueru asked, "Xiao Chen, what will you do?"

Jiang Chen replied, "It's fine, I can handle it."

Li Xueru knew that if he faced Long Huang and the Demon Emperor, he would be of no use.

The stronger the Half‑step Super God, the clearer they understood their own levels. The Long Huang and Demon Emperor at the 96th extreme and as high as Divine Power Level 9 had a gap like heaven and earth. They chose to trust Jiang Chen; Meng Dingwen folded the Shenlong Tower and together plunged into Jiang Chen's Demon‑Slaying Tower,

Jiang Chen immediately sealed the Demon‑Slaying Tower within the Lingduan World.

At that moment, Jiang Chen let out a sigh,

Now he had regained the initiative—he could fight whenever he wanted, and leave whenever he wanted.

In his view, the Demon Emperor's and Long Huang's plans had already failed.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the space was fractured and locked.

The Abyss Teleport Stone malfunctioned, but Antares's Dragon Scale could still be used. If Jiang Chen wanted to leave, he could do so now.

However, inviting a deity is easy while sending one away is hard; now Jiang Chen no longer wished to leave. Since they had gone to such lengths to summon him, he would only depart after he had earned enough profit.

Another dragon roar sounded in the sky, and Jiang Chen saw a divine dragon circling overhead.

It was an illusion; such a sight appears only when the Dragon Race's ancestral Bloodline is awakened.

Long Huang's overwhelming aura rolled in,

pressing down on Jiang Chen as if to crush him.

Long Huang was formidable; once its ancestral Bloodline ignited, it became an invincible entity among Half‑step Super Gods.

But in Jiang Chen's eyes, it was merely a mixed‑blood dragon, not a true member of the Dragon Race.

They didn't even qualify to serve as the Dragon Race's servants, wholly unrecognized.

Antares wouldn't even mention their origins, showing extreme disdain.

Within the Shenlong illusion, Long Huang appeared in the sky.

Long Huang stood over five meters tall, massive in build, his gaze laced with lethal intent.

"Jiang Chen, you must die!"

Since Jiang Chen shattered Long Huang's palace, Long Huang had been eager to crush Jiang Chen to dust.

What followed only deepened the hatred between them.

"Then it depends on whether you have the skill to kill me, mixed‑blood dragon!" Jiang Chen said disdainfully, the Ancient Thunder Outer Tower appearing in his hand,

The inner and outer twin towers traversed the void, linking together, and the overwhelming energy from the God‑slaying Fortress streamed into the outer tower.
