Chapter 362: The Devil of the Void

Lingyun, who was within the Barrier of the Dark Oath Book, naturally also saw the pillar of light soaring into the sky. A cold sneer could not help but curl the corners of his mouth: "As expected, there are still those who refuse to give up. I hope the price this time will be enough to make them feel the pain!"

Xiandumu Aye also saw the pillar of light soaring into the sky. She mocked Lingyun, saying: "You are here blocking my destruction of Itogami Island, yet your allies are stabbing you in the back. It really is quite an ironic situation!"

"Allies? I have never regarded the Lion King Organization as my allies." Lingyun swept his right hand, and countless flashes of lightning shot out from his hand, instantly shattering several layers of the text Barrier around Xiandumu Aye. "Before this, I had already crippled a large number of Attack Mages from the Lion King Organization. I had thought they would restrain themselves, but now it seems they really have no intention of stopping. I suppose it is because I held back that it didn't cause enough of a deterrent!"

"What a big mouth you have. The Lion King Organization is a long-established power. To be honest, I really want to see what kind of ability you have to contend with them." Xiandumu Aye flashed her figure repeatedly, using her authority as the master of this world to constantly blink and dodge Lingyun's attacks.

"Startling Night Spear!" Lingyun made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a golden Spear emerged from his hand before shooting toward the direction of Xiandumu Aye.

Xiandumu Aye felt a shock in her heart. Although this Spear looked ordinary, she felt a lethal murderous intent from it. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiandumu deployed a spatial transfer magic around herself and instantly escaped from this area.

On the other side, the battle between Phantom and the Ring King was also becoming increasingly intense. As the guardian of Xiandumu Aye, Phantom naturally had a terrain advantage within this Barrier, and its strength had increased by at least twofold. Although the Ring King had the help of the Precept Chains, the power Nangong Nayue used to drive him was borrowed from Lingyun. Even though the power of the Array on her forehead was quite profound, the transmitted power was ultimately limited. Under these circumstances, the Ring King had gradually been forced onto the defensive.

"I didn't expect Aye to strengthen her guardian to this level. If this continues, the battle situation will be very unfavorable!" Nangong Nayue muttered in her heart with a furrowed brow.

"Hah!" The Ring King suddenly let out a low shout, and countless Chains spread out from the Void, binding Phantom's body tightly.

Taking advantage of the moment Phantom could not move, the Ring King raised the Long sword in his hand and thrust it toward Phantom's chest. With a "Crack!", the Long sword instantly pierced into Phantom's chest. Fragments of armor flew everywhere, and Phantom's body could not help but struggle, overflowing with massive magic power before it stopped moving.

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred. Phantom, who had been pierced by the Long sword, actually dissipated into magic power. The Ring King's old strength had been spent and new strength had not yet arisen, so his body could not help but pause slightly. A peerlessly sharp sword light flashed, and a Long sword suddenly thrust out from where Phantom had dissipated, sinking into the Ring King's body.

The Ring King let out a muffled groan and slashed forward with his sword, instantly tearing apart the Phantom that had not yet fully dissipated, and hacked heavily onto Phantom's shoulder. Phantom's body swayed, but it forcibly endured this sword strike from the Ring King. With both hands, it pulled downward with force, and the terrifying power instantly tore a huge gap in the armor on the Ring King's body.

The Ring King let out a muffled groan, then punched heavily onto Phantom's body, knocking it back several steps. After forcing Phantom back, the Ring King could no longer hold on and knelt heavily on the ground. A huge crack had already appeared on the armor on his chest, and one could faintly see tiny fragments of parts falling out from the wound. With the guardian suffering heavy damage, Nangong Nayue also let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood spilled from her mouth.

Seeing this, Phantom immediately rushed toward Nangong Nayue, wanting to capture her in one fell swoop. At this moment, a peerlessly sharp Spear shot over from the side, instantly blasting it away.

"Ring King?" Nangong Nayue clutched her chest, looking at the Ring King kneeling on the ground.

Just at this moment, traces of purple light seeped out from the Ring King's wound, and then, fine, dense cracks appeared on the Ring King's body.

"This, what is this situation?" Xiandumu Aye happened to see this scene and could not help but exclaim.

With a "Boom", in Nangong Nayue's incredulous gaze, the Ring King actually exploded amidst the purple light, turning into scattered fragments of parts. After all the fragments flew away, a twisted mass of light appeared in everyone's sight.

"This, this is, the Devil of the Void?" Nangong Nayue looked at the twisted mass of light before her in horror. It was precisely because she was forced to sign a contract to sell her soul to this mass of light back then that she became the Witch of the Void.

"The Devil of the Void? This, this is impossible. How could a Devil appear in this world, and still be hidden inside a guardian, and not be interfered with by the power of the Dark Oath Book?" Xiandumu Aye said in disbelief.

"This is the Devil of the Void?" The silver light in Lingyun's eyes had already filled his pupils. In his eyes, the Devil before him was nothing more than a mass of chaotic space. In that space, the space had been twisted to the extreme, which was why this bizarre situation occurred.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" A silent buzzing sounded in Nangong Nayue's mind. Everyone present suddenly discovered that this mass of light was constantly dissipating. After the light completely faded, a crystal flickering with purple light appeared before everyone.

"Could it be that this is what a Devil looks like?" Himeragi Yukina looked at the crystal floating in mid-air in astonishment.

"So that's how it is. In that case, the inexplicable sense of familiarity between me and Yuejiang, and the fact that the Ring King was unwilling to launch an attack on me, can both be understood." Lingyun slowly reached out his hand, and the crystal floating in mid-air fell into his palm.

"Lingyun?" Nangong Nayue looked at Lingyun with some surprise.

"It seems that the real battle is only just beginning now!" Lingyun gripped the crystal in his hand and said slowly.

"The real battle?" Xiandumu Aye's pupils shrank slightly; her intuition told her that big trouble was about to appear.

"Go!" Lingyun flicked his hand, and the crystal in his hand instantly turned into a stream of light and streaked toward Nangong Nayue's direction. Xiandumu Aye wanted to intervene to stop it, but it was already too late. The stream of light instantly sank into Nangong Nayue's body, and purple light surged from within Nangong Nayue's body, enveloping her figure.

Phantom, who had been blasted away by the Startling Night Spear, rushed toward the purple light mass and swept its sword toward the light mass. At this moment, a golden Long sword suddenly pierced through the light mass and collided fiercely with Phantom's Long sword.

Phantom only felt a huge force coming from the golden Long sword; its body could not help but tremble, and it retreated several steps in succession.

"This, how is this possible?" Xiandumu Aye looked at the woman slowly revealing her figure from the light mass, and her pupils could not help but shrink.
