Chapter 1778: The Divine Fruit Realm

The battle of a Heavenly King has always been a prolonged engagement, as the erosion and attrition between their realms cannot be achieved in a single day or night.

Moreover, Heavenly Kings are the creatures with the most powerful life force in the world; even if their physical bodies are shattered and only broken flesh and blood remain, as long as their realm is not extinguished, they will soon be able to absorb enough power of the realm to restore their bodies to their original state.

Therefore, truly slaying a Heavenly King is an extremely difficult matter.

The only one that a Heavenly King fears is the Divine Fruit Heavenly King.

The reason is that the Divine Fruit Heavenly King possesses a unique killing move: the "Divine Fruit Realm" formed from his own Divine Fruit.

The so-called "Divine Fruit Realm," simply put, is to transform one's own Divine Fruit into a special closed domain; the Heavenly King trapped within will be severed from the connection with the outside world, and then, under the suppression of the Divine Fruit's realm, his own realm will be constantly eroded; if he cannot escape, he will eventually be completely suppressed until he perishes.

This is also a major advantage possessed by the Divine Fruit Heavenly King: he can use the Divine Fruit Realm to suppress a Heavenly King, erode his realm, and slay him.

Having fought against too many Heavenly Kings of the Outer Shenzhou over the long years, the Nine Serpent Great Demon King's experience is extremely seasoned; in this battle, he first used his profound foundation of realm power to neutralize Li Luo's first wave of ferocious, extreme attacks, and then, in the instant his realm power slightly receded, he decisively activated the "Divine Fruit Realm" he had already formed and arranged, pulling Li Luo into it to erode and seal him.

Inside the Snake Pot Realm.

Countless grotesque snake heads protruded from the walls of the Snake Pot Realm, seeping out crimson mist; that mist was thick and viscous, formed from the Nine Serpent Great Demon King's Divine Fruit realm power, possessing terrifying corrosive power.

Li Luo's expression also became Solemn at this moment.

He could feel a strong crisis surging towards him; this sense of crisis was even more intense than the decisive battle on the Starfall Plain several years ago.

The Divine Fruit Great Demon King is indeed very troublesome.

Boom!

Behind Li Luo, the void trembled, and the mysterious and magnificent Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects appeared; six Aspect Palaces and twelve Aspect Natures flowed with brilliant divine light within it, and the twelve types of Aspect Power surged magnificently, finally all rushing into the central Fire Cauldron.

In the next moment, the Great Formless Fire swept out.

The vast sea of fire met the crimson mist raging from the void on all sides; the instant the two sides touched, even space was silently dissolved.

The figure of the Nine Serpent Great Demon King walked out from the blood mist; looking at Li Luo, who was protected within the sea of fire, he smiled faintly: "Although you possess four realms and your realm power is extremely strong, within my Divine Fruit Realm, can you outlast me?"

Heavenly Kings possess realms, and their own might can be described as vast and mighty; yet no matter how vast, when isolated from the outside world and earth, and further eroded and attrited by a Divine Fruit Heavenly King's Divine Fruit realm power, their own realm will only constantly weaken and dry up.

To break through, unless Li Luo also possesses Divine Fruit realm power, he cannot escape from this Divine Fruit Realm.

"Whether I can outlast you, I don't know, but I know I might be more enduring than other Heavenly Kings," Li Luo said calmly.

As his words fell, the Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects roared and turned; ten ancient divine runes burst forth with dazzling brilliance at this moment, embellishing the divine wheel with unparalleled magnificence and holiness.

The twelve Aspect Natures rotated within the Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects, merging with each other, as if endlessly generating life.

Although Li Luo was now cut off from the outside world and earth, unable to draw a continuous stream of energy from the heavens and earth, his own twelve Aspect Natures were so abundant; with the aid of the Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects, the Aspect Natures generated each other, sufficient to form a small world on their own.

The benefit of having many Aspect Natures was laid bare at this moment.

A cold, sinister light flickered in the Nine Serpent Great Demon King's scarlet snake eyes; he sneered: "It is merely delaying time."

Behind him, the nine blood snakes like tails opened their abyss-like snake mouths; in the next moment, a river of rotting flesh emitting a torrential blood scent swept out.

The river of rotting flesh, carrying blood mist, directly charged towards the surging sea of fire surrounding Li Luo.

Sizzle!

Layers of mist rose up; this mist was poisonous gas containing realm power, and this poison gas was extremely domineering, capable of severing the source of ordinary King Realm experts in an instant.

Under the Nine Serpent Great Demon King's full-force suppression, the "Great Formless Sea of Fire" formed by Li Luo activating the Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects also began to gradually recede.

Li Luo immediately felt pressure; his eyes gradually closed as he fully activated the Wheel of Ten Thousand Aspects, using the fusion and mutual generation of the twelve Aspect Natures to provide vast, ceaseless realm power to protect himself in this perilous situation.

Seeing this, the Nine Serpent Great Demon King did not speak much nonsense; he merely locked onto Li Luo with cold snake eyes, activated his Divine Fruit realm power, pressed forward step by step, and eroded his realm power.

The advantage now lay with him; as long as he waited for Li Luo to show weakness, he could withdraw the Divine Fruit Realm into his body and slowly suppress him, while his true form could detach from this place and destroy the "Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Subduing Array" of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

Within the bizarre Snake Pot Realm, silence gradually fell, with only the low, terrifying sounds of realm power colliding and dissolving quietly echoing.

And when Li Luo was dragged into the Divine Fruit Realm by the Nine Serpent Great Demon King and began to face a crisis, the peak duels in the other nine Outer Shenzhou worlds were also gradually entering a state of white-hot intensity.

Both sides' Heavenly Kings, at this moment, exhausted all their methods and trump cards; the ferocity of that duel could be described as the most brutal battle in tens of thousands of years.

Central Outer Shenzhou.

This was the place of the duel between Heavenly King Jiang and Ming Hou.

The war ignited this Outer Shenzhou; the Heavenly Kings and King Realm experts of both sides fought fiercely in various places throughout Central Outer Shenzhou, and occasionally, earth-shaking phenomena would appear, which were King Realm experts perishing.

And while both sides fought fiercely, in the sky, Heavenly King Jiang and Ming Hou sat cross-legged in mid-air.

The two were not far apart, and their expressions also appeared quite peaceful, looking like a pair of old friends sitting opposite each other drinking tea.

However, in the central position between the two, a dark black crack in space appeared and disappeared; only if a Heavenly King expert were present could they discover that within the space of that crack, an extremely terrifying collision was taking place.

For within it, two streams of light emitting vast might were chasing and colliding with each other.

And at the very core of the streams of light were, surprisingly, two Divine Fruits emitting different realm powers.

One presented a verdant green color; within it, green wood was lush, with countless mountain-sized giant trees, and vast vitality rolled and surged, as if capable of recreating the world.

One presented a pitch-black color, like a black hole, swallowing all light.

These two Divine Fruits both emitted a perfect, flawless divine charm, as if they were the Creator's most outstanding works, with not a single flaw to be found.

Every time the two Divine Fruits collided, it seemed that the heavenly and earthly energy of the entire Central Outer Shenzhou would produce a violent oscillating ripple; the storm they stirred up swept magnificently to every corner of Central Outer Shenzhou.

Heavenly King Jiang and the Ming Hou Great Demon King had fought countless times over these thousands of years, and their understanding of each other was extremely profound; thus, both sides understood that they could only restrain each other, and deciding a winner was not something that could be achieved in a single day or night.

Thus, the Ming Hou Great Demon King, with a smile on his face, reached out his hand to gently stroke the four heads hanging around his neck that emitted cries of pain, and said gently: "Heavenly King Jiang, one of these heads belongs to a Heavenly King from the previous generation of your Academy Alliance; if we speak of identity, he was even your teacher, the one who brought you into the Academy Alliance."

Heavenly King Jiang looked at one of the withered heads, with killing intent and anger surging in his eyes, but eventually they gradually subsided; he lowered his eyes slightly and said softly: "Although my teacher has perished, he won more time for Outer Shenzhou in that great battle, and allowed me to complete my own path; the creatures of Outer Shenzhou will all remember his achievements."

The Ming Hou Great Demon King smiled: "Pity, all of this will end in this War of Unification."

Heavenly King Jiang said calmly: "Perhaps what will be ended is your Dark World."

The Ming Hou Great Demon King laughed: "Even the last Patriarch of the Formless Holy Sect could not accomplish what he set out to do; how could you? As long as we wait for the moment my Lord reappears in the world, this world will belong to us."

"Moreover, in the battlefields of the current Ten Great Outer Shenzhou, it seems that my Dark World still holds the advantage."

He flicked his finger, and a number of pale eyeballs emerged from his flesh and blood; the eyeballs reflected the battlefields of the other Outer Shenzhou worlds, all showing duels between the peak experts of both sides.

The Ming Hou Great Demon King pointed to one eyeball first and laughed: "That Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan are merely Heavenly Kings who have forged three realms; even if they join forces, how could they be opponents of the Divine Fruit Great Demon King?"

"They seem unable to win, don't they?"

Heavenly King Jiang looked at the scene of the heavens and earth reflected in that eyeball; that was precisely the White Spirit Outer Shenzhou guarded by Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan.

What they faced was the Myriad Bones Great Demon King, one of the Ten Great Divine Fruit Great Demon Kings.
