Chapter 552

Not to mention, the Ultimate Imperial Armor also possesses the Finish Finish Time-Stop Zen Seal. As long as the Ming Wang has no way to break this technique, it cannot fight the Ultimate Imperial Armor with its full strength. It must remain vigilant against the opponent pulling this underhanded move.

"In other words, Lu Li won?" Although this was highly likely given the scene before her, and despite the fact that she and the Demon Lord were not exactly on the best of terms, the thought of this outcome still made Liu Liu Liu Mengli feel as if a lifetime had passed.

It was only a short while ago that he was a young man just stepping onto the path of a Magic Card Master, and now he already possessed the strength to contend with the Demon Lord.

Contend, not defeat!

The Ultimate Imperial Armor that Lu Li transformed into was incredibly strong; this was beyond doubt, and the Ming Wang was the best example of that.

But while the Ming Wang was an existence surpassing the twelve-star level, this did not mean the Ming Wang represented all of the Demon Lord's combat power. As a Demon Lord at the Supreme Realm, the Ming Wang was not his only top-tier combat force.

At the very least, Liu Liu Liu Mengli knew clearly that the Ming Wang was not the strongest combat force in the Demon Lord's arsenal.

If he were to truly unleash his full power, Liu Liu Liu Mengli still did not believe the Demon Lord would lose. The combat power the Demon Lord was currently displaying was not even half of what she remembered from his peak period.

Especially since the Demon Lord was currently in a weakened state; it was possible his combat power was only one-third of what it used to be.

"You brat, you really do hit hard!" The Demon Lord's voice came through, and as it did, the dust filling the sky dissipated at that moment.

The figure of the Ming Wang had already vanished, clearly having reverted into a Magic Card and returned to the Demon Lord's body without anyone noticing.

As for whether the Demon Lord had actively recalled it or if it had been instantly killed by the Ultimate Imperial Armor's Five Saints Finishing Move, the result was no different.

Of course, Lu Li was more inclined to believe that the Ming Wang had been shattered by the Ultimate Imperial Armor's Five Saints Finishing Move.

If it still had any combat power left, given the pride of a thirteen-star existence, it absolutely would not have just disappeared without a trace like that.

"That was, after all, an existence surpassing the twelve-star level. I couldn't afford to hold anything back, Your Majesty Demon Lord." Lu Li touched his belt to cancel the transformation and shrugged.

He wasn't wrong; no matter what, the Ming Wang was a thirteen-star existence. Although Lu Li had great confidence and certainty in the Ultimate Imperial Armor, that didn't mean the Ming Wang was an opponent he could resolve casually.

"Is that so? But why do I get the feeling you still held back quite a bit?" Regarding this, the Demon Lord couldn't help but roll his eyes. Based on Lu Li's performance, he didn't believe this was the boy's full strength.

But it was precisely because of this that the shock in the Demon Lord's heart was even greater, beyond measure.

For an Immortal Realm practitioner to defeat, or even crush, an Undying Realm practitioner was already shocking enough, but for even himself, a Supreme Realm practitioner, to stumble against this person—that was truly extraordinary.

After all, the one he had just sent out to fight was the thirteen-star Ming Wang. While that wasn't his full strength, it could not be denied that such a performance was enough to shock everyone.

If outsiders had seen that scene just now, they would likely doubt their own lives. In the entire Magic Card civilization, there were only three existing Supreme Realm practitioners. To everyone, the Supreme Realm was a chasm, an insurmountable gap.

Perhaps an average Magic Card Master might dream of achieving the Immortal Realm, the Undying Realm, or becoming a regional hegemon, but no one had such thoughts regarding the Supreme Realm.

It wasn't that they didn't want to become Supreme; on the contrary, the Supreme Realm had always been the pursuit of all Magic Card Masters. But one had to distinguish pursuit from reality.

Perhaps they still had a glimmer of hope for the Immortal or Undying Realms, but as for the Supreme Realm—well, sorry, but even the most insane person wouldn't harbor such thoughts.

At the very least, before reaching the Undying Realm, no one would have such thoughts, because the promotion process—to say it was "ten deaths, no life" might be an exaggeration, but it was far beyond the level of "nine deaths, one life."

Even the Undying Realm ancestors of the three great families, who had been cleared out by the Demon Lord not long ago, had only dared to act arrogantly during the Finish Finish Time the Demon Lord was in deep slumber, and only after confirming that there was a high probability the Demon Lord would die did they dare to plot against him.

And now, if someone were to say that a young Magic Card Master possessed the strength to contend with a Supreme while still in the Immortal Realm, they absolutely would not believe it.

Even if the Demon Lord hadn't used his full strength and was in a weakened state, Lu Li's state was also not at its peak.

1049, Testing with a Supreme

"Brat, are you sure you aren't lying to me?" The Demon Lord toyed with the Monster Reborn Magic Card in his hand. Although he already knew the effect of this card, he was still a bit hesitant.

It wasn't that he feared death; having reached this level, he saw things much further than ordinary people and understood that Supremes were not immune to death—they were simply longer-lived and harder to kill than the average person.

But facing death was one thing; the manner of that death was another.

If the effect of Monster Reborn worked, then naturally everyone would be happy, but if it didn't work, he might just be the most humiliated Supreme in history to die.

For the sake of his posthumous reputation, the Demon Lord felt it was necessary to confirm it with Lu Li once more.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any issues." Lu Li kept his expression calm. The main reason was that he hadn't tested the effect of the Monster Reborn Magic Card himself—or rather, who would be bored enough to go die once just to test the effect of a card?

It wasn't just Lu Li; among the Monster Reborn cards he had distributed previously, no one was bored enough to use their own life to test it.

Even if it really worked, the moment of dying was still very painful!

Therefore, the Demon Lord naturally became the first test subject for the Monster Reborn Magic Card.

Furthermore, because the other party was a Supreme Realm existence—the top powerhouse of the Magic Card civilization—if Monster Reborn worked on a Supreme, it would naturally work on Magic Card Masters of other realms as well.

This test could be considered killing multiple birds with one stone.

Should?

The Demon Lord's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He was now one hundred percent certain that this brat who had snatched away his "big cabbage" was using him as a test subject.

"What? Scared?" Liu Liu Liu Mengli spoke up suddenly. "If you're scared, why not continue with the previous blood sacrifice plan? It can also extend your life."

In her words, the disdain in Liu Liu Liu Mengli's eyes was evident. However, both Lu Li and the Demon Lord could hear the concern in her tone; this was Liu Liu Liu Mengli's way of using reverse psychology.

Even though Lu Li's series of performances had given Liu Liu Liu Mengli absolute confidence in him, this concerned the Demon Lord's life and the entire Demon Domain, so Liu Liu Liu Mengli had to consider more.

The best method was to use a blood sacrifice to extend the Demon Lord's life; it was the most reliable way. As for herself, she didn't mind being the first test subject for Monster Reborn.

"Do you think that's possible?" Facing Liu Liu Liu Mengli's reverse psychology, the Demon Lord remained calm. As his descendant, how could he not see through Liu Liu Liu Mengli's intentions?

A blood sacrifice might be the most reliable method to ensure his existence, but the Demon Lord clearly had no such thoughts from the beginning.

However, he was also very depressed in his heart. What exactly had happened during his slumber that the Liu Liu Liu Mengli in his memory had turned into a "big cabbage"?

Although he was very satisfied with Lu Li—nonsense, with this kind of strength, he'd be a ghost if he weren't satisfied—this was a thought every father would have.

If the Demon Lord knew that not only the "big cabbage" but even his own "little cabbage" had been snatched away, his expression would likely become even more spectacular, and he might even want to have another round of "real-life combat" with Lu Li.

Although the Ming Wang was finished, he didn't only have the Ming Wang as a thirteen-star Magic Card spirit.

Terrifying energy fluctuations spread from the Demon Lord's body, and an oppressive aura filled the entire space. Lu Li held Liu Liu Liu Mengli and retreated rapidly; even he felt uncomfortable in the face of this oppressive aura, let alone Liu Liu Liu Mengli.

But soon, after the terrifying energy fluctuations on the Demon Lord reached their peak, they immediately dropped. In the blink of an eye, there was no longer any life aura on the Demon Lord, and the entire space returned to its original calm. The oppressive aura was like a flash in the pan, as if it had never existed.

However, both Lu Li and Liu Liu Liu Mengli had their attention fixed entirely on the Demon Lord.

Without a doubt, the Demon Lord had dissipated all his own life force. Even so, he still stood in place like a pillar reaching to the heavens, giving one the feeling of looking up at a high mountain.

Now, it was Finish Finish Time to see if Monster Reborn was truly that effective.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long. The Monster Reborn card in the Demon Lord's hand emitted a gentle energy, which, centered on the location of the Magic Card, gradually covered the Demon Lord's entire body. A rich life aura was continuously poured into the Demon Lord's body at this moment.

As Finish Finish Time passed, a new life aura was born within the body of the Demon Lord, who had previously been devoid of life.

Noticing this scene, Liu Liu Liu Mengli couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She had really been afraid just now that Monster Reborn wouldn't have any effect, which would have been troublesome.

No matter what, the Demon Lord was one of her only remaining relatives. Even if she and he were at odds, after so many years, she had matured quite a bit.

As for Lu Li, he was more focused on the entire process of resurrection.

"Monster Reborn can have an effect on a Supreme. In other words, it can also have an effect on those below the Supreme level."

"However, this entire resurrection process is a bit different from what I imagined. It's not an immediate resurrection; it requires a period of Finish Finish Time."

"In this way, the effectiveness of Monster Reborn will be somewhat discounted."

If it were an instant resurrection, the effect of Monster Reborn would be absolutely explosive. But if it were like this, requiring a period of Finish Finish Time to fully revive, the effect would be discounted.

After all, the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant; this much Finish Finish Time might be enough for an opponent to kill oneself again.

"However, this is just a result derived from observation. Whether there are any defensive measures when Monster Reborn is taking effect, it seems I still need to test it."

"Or, see what kind of feedback the person involved has."

This was also Lu Li's first Finish Finish Time seeing the specific manifestation of Monster Reborn's effect. Even as the creator of this Magic Card, without having experienced the effect of this card personally, he could only speculate based on what he observed with the naked eye.

But it wouldn't be long before he could ask the person involved about their feelings.

After this short Finish Finish Time, the life force within the Demon Lord had fully recovered, and at the same Finish Finish Time, the Monster Reborn Magic Card in the Demon Lord's hand also vanished without a trace.

1050, Shall we treat each other separately in the future?

"A very magical feeling!" This was the Demon Lord's first sentence after his resurrection. Looking at his own hands and feeling the rich life force within his body, the eyes of this Supreme Realm powerhouse were filled with shock.

Only by truly experiencing Monster Reborn and returning from death could one understand the special nature of this Magic Card and understand just how talented the Magic Card Master who created it was.

"Your Majesty Demon Lord, how do you feel?" Judging from the Demon Lord's performance, it could basically be confirmed that Monster Reborn had no side effects, but Lu Li still wanted to further confirm.

"Feelings? Although not as good as my peak period, the injuries that plagued me and caused me to fall into a deep slumber have fully recovered." Hearing Lu Li's words, the Demon Lord smiled. It was clear that his mood was extremely good.

Subsequently, this Supreme of the Demon Domain did something that surprised both Lu Li and Liu Liu Liu Mengli.

"Lu Li, my boy, thank you." In his words, the Demon Lord bowed to Lu Li, although the angle was small—after all, the Demon Lord was a Supreme existence.

But it could not be denied that this action by the Demon Lord truly startled both of them, especially Lu Li, who instantly flashed to the side.

If it were someone else, he might not have done this, but the person before him was the Demon Lord. It wasn't because of the other party's Supreme status, but because the other party was Liu Liu Liu Mengli's father, not to mention that Liu Sister Sister Yanran was behind them.

If he really accepted this from the Demon Lord, it would be quite interesting once the other party found out about his relationship with the two women.

"Cough, cough, Your Majesty Demon Lord, you are too polite." Flashing to the side, Lu Li finally spoke.

On the other hand, Liu Liu Liu Mengli was looking at him with a half-smile, completely wearing an expression of watching a good show.

Seeing this, Lu Li glared at her inconspicuously. If the Demon Lord weren't present, he would definitely let this Demon Domain princess know who was really in charge.

"Still calling me Your Majesty Demon Lord? Lu Li, my boy, you're being a bit distant." Seeing Lu Li's actions, the smile on the Demon Lord's face grew even wider.

Although his own "cabbage" had been snatched, the person who snatched it seemed quite good, and he had even solved a problem that he had never been able to solve.

Looking at it this way, this result was not unacceptable.
