Chapter 1632: Four Swords Return to Origin

Li Zhangsheng's plan was proceeding very smoothly; by utilizing a divide-and-conquer approach, he had once again finished off more than ten Demon Monarchs.

In just one short year, dozens of Demon Monarchs had been lost; even for the Endless Abyss, the losses during this period could be described as damaging to its very foundations.

Of course, as long as the Endless Abyss was willing to pay the price, it could restore the number of Demon Monarchs in a short time, though the cost would be somewhat high.

By the time the Secret Realm finished digesting, another month or so had passed.

The reason it was so fast was mainly thanks to the growth of the World Tree.

Li Zhangsheng continuously collected the trunk and ten major branches of the World Tree, refining their essence to make the World Tree grow rapidly; over this period, it had grown nearly twice as tall as before, becoming increasingly mature.

As a price, Li Zhangsheng paid countless resources, and most importantly, after the first wave, it was becoming increasingly difficult to collect items that could facilitate the World Tree's growth.

Besides this, with the assistance of the Time Delay Forbidden Array, the Abyss Consciousness stored in the Gate of Light and Darkness had been more than half refined, making it entirely possible to repeat the previous operation continuously.

Because they had been frightened by Li Zhangsheng's killing, when he acted again, most of the Demon Monarchs refused to come no matter what.

Compared to the rewards of the Endless Abyss, staying alive was the most important thing, not to mention that they theoretically possessed endless lives.

However, the Abyss Will could not just watch Li Zhangsheng cause destruction without stopping him.

Thus, when Li Zhangsheng began to refine the third Abyss Plane, under the guidance of the Abyss Will, several Demon Monarchs appeared instantly.

At the same time, several black pillars of light composed of countless Abyss Consciousness submerged them.

This was the Endless Abyss giving rewards in advance, and it even increased the rewards, bestowing countless Abyss Consciousness, Will, Authority, and Laws to forcibly increase the strength of these few Demon Monarchs.

Judging from their aura, these few Demon Monarchs had all reached the High-level Demon Monarch level.

As a price, the Endless Abyss Will was inevitably somewhat weakened and would likely need a period of time to recover.

This also meant that if he still could not succeed this time, Li Zhangsheng could act almost wantonly in the Endless Abyss for a period afterward.

Li Zhangsheng had thought about avoiding the enemy's Keen Edge and temporarily retreating to change targets, but the Endless Abyss forcibly over-drew from several nearby Abyss Planes, causing huge layers of black light curtains to appear in the world wall of this Abyss Plane.

Even with Li Zhangsheng's strength, he could not break through in a short time.

Under these circumstances, Li Zhangsheng could only choose to meet the battle.

Above Li Zhangsheng's head appeared the Twelve Ancestral Witches Dharma Idol, transforming into a Pangu phantom that blotted out the sky and sun, taking the lead to pin down one High-tier Demon Monarch.

Because the magnitude of the increase was too great, these few High-tier Demon Monarchs could not yet control their bodies well, and their combat power had a not-insignificant gap compared to veteran High-tier Demon Monarchs like Demogorgon and Pazuzu.

Therefore, the Pangu phantom successfully pinned down one and even gained the upper hand.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng threw out three Demon Emperor Level puppets, which held the Ziwei, Sun, and Sun Star Banners to form the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, wrapping the remaining four High-tier Demon Monarchs inside.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng and his three clones also activated the God-Slaying Sword Array within the Zhou Tian Star Forbidden Array, forming an array within an array.

Li Zhangsheng had long envisioned an array within an array and had already put it into practice, eventually changing some details to avoid the mutual depletion of the two major forbidden arrays as much as possible.

When wrapped by the Zhou Tian Star Forbidden Array, the four High-tier Demon Monarchs were startled; they felt the threat and subconsciously wanted to escape the range of the forbidden array, but given that it was difficult to find an exit in a short time, they wanted to do so by forcibly destroying it.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets naturally did not just watch, and began to entangle them by way of grappling.

By the time the God-Slaying Sword Array formed, the four High-tier Demon Monarchs immediately became anxious and uneasy.

However, just at this moment, Li Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve, and a streak of Innate Five-Colored Divine Light rushed toward one of the High-tier Demon Monarchs.

The Demon Pets immediately entangled the other three High-tier Demon Monarchs, not giving them a chance to rescue it.

In an instant, this High-tier Demon Monarch was hit by the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light and temporarily lost the ability to resist.

It was also at this time that a huge planet condensed from Star Power rushed over and heavily smashed into the High-tier Demon Monarch, directly knocking it into the range of the God-Slaying Sword Array.

The High-tier Demon Monarch only felt a huge impact coming from its back; it wanted to stop it but was powerless to do so, and could only watch helplessly as it entered the range of the God-Slaying Sword Array.

"God-Slaying Sword!"

"Slaughter-God Sword!"

"Trap-God Sword!"

"Extinguish-God Sword!"

Li Zhangsheng and his three clones simultaneously controlled the precious swords, resonating with the Sword Array Diagram; five different types of energy gathered together, eventually transforming into a giant energy sword radiating five-colored brilliance, slashing toward the High-tier Demon Monarch.

"Five Elements Mutual Generation, Four Swords Return to Origin!"

This sword could be said to be the most powerful sword of the God-Slaying Sword Array, especially under the huge amplification of the Five Elements Great Dao at the Great Accomplishment stage, so the power of this sword could be imagined.

As soon as the High-tier Demon Monarch struggled free from the restraint of the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light, it wanted to resist, and for this, it used all its skills, instantly becoming wrapped in a large number of treasures and light curtains.

Crack!

Accompanied by the slashing of the five-colored giant sword, these treasures and light curtains did not even manage to delay it, being easily broken through; under the High-tier Demon Monarch's terrified gaze, it was directly slashed into two halves.

"Ah!"

The High-tier Demon Monarch only had time to let out a shrill scream, and immediately after, five-colored flames appeared on the corpse that had been slashed into two halves; even a body as strong as a High-tier Demon Monarch's turned into fly ash in an instant.

Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned, taking away the High-tier Demon Monarch's soul a step ahead.

After the first High-tier Demon Monarch fell, the remaining four High-tier Demon Monarchs were all terrified.

Among them, the High-tier Demon Monarch that was fighting the Pangu phantom outside the Zhou Tian Star Forbidden Array had to pay the price of one arm to forcibly push back the Pangu phantom, wanting to escape the Abyss Plane.

However, since the Endless Abyss Will had paid such a high price, how could it let it escape privately? It had already cut off its retreat, making it impossible for it to leave this Abyss Plane.

As for the other three Demon Monarchs trapped in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, they were even more filled with despair.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng release the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light again, rushing toward one of the High-tier Demon Monarchs.

In despair, this High-tier Demon Monarch actually took the initiative to self-destruct; the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light held out for a moment before instantly collapsing and dissipating.

Boom—

The power of a High-tier Demon Monarch's self-destruction was naturally not ordinarily huge; it was just like a world exploding, with a black sphere rapidly expanding toward the surroundings.
