CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 421 FOLLOWING TAI SUI (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKET)
Crunch!
The Immortal Bone bit into the thick armor of the Cang Yan Knight. The iron armor, along with the bones and Netherflame, was crushed and swallowed.
The more Immortal Bone fought, the fiercer he became, while the Cang Yan Knight was being pushed back at every turn.
It’s rare to see a God being beaten down by a Favoured Clan member. Moreover, this Cang Yan Knight was not just any ordinary character; even the Withered King feared his formidable strength.
Yet in front of the Immortal Bone, he seemed powerless.
Lilith watched Immortal Bone’s relentless assault on the light screen and curiously asked.
"This Immortal Bone is really amazing. Why isn’t he afraid of the Netherflame attack?"
Lette lay lazily on the lounge chair: "Because the Immortal Bone is said to be Immune to All. It means, immune to all non-physical damage.
This includes but is not limited to magical damage, Law Damage, Mysterious Power, Strange Power, Rules, etc..."
"So isn’t that invincible?"
"Of course... not."
Lette shifted his body, finding a more comfortable position: "His so-called Immunity to All actually comes from the divine protection of Tai Sui Heaven."
"Isn’t this Tai Sui Heaven something you made up?"
"You could call it a creation of my own, more like a secondary account I opened."
Lette’s fingers swiped, and the screen rapidly zoomed out, covering the whole White Bone Plain.
"Do you know why we first do building and farming? It’s to make sure the Tai Sui Heaven account is well-funded.
There are so many Fierce Zombies, so many Favored ones, who faithfully worship Tai Sui Heaven, believing it to be unsurpassable and omnipotent.
Of course, this Divinity is too broad, and generally, almighty gods die miserably.
But this is just a shell company, an empty account.
As long as there is Desire Power, it can neutralize the opponent’s attacks through Divine Gifts.
Note that it’s not that the enemy’s attacks have no effect on him, but rather he’s enveloped by a protective Shield.
This shield’s Shield Value is directly tied to the account of Tai Sui Heaven.
As long as Tai Sui Heaven isn’t fully depleted, it’s like it’s absorbing the damage for the Immortal Bone.
However, since Tai Sui Heaven is fictional, it only consumes his Power of Faith."
Lilith, being a conceptual level strong figure, understood this instantly.
"Isn’t it just throwing money at the problem? And the consumption is huge! After all, it’s a high-spec defense like Immunity to All!
Generally, after a war, most Gods are reduced to mere shadows of their former selves!"
Lette chuckled: "Exactly. That’s why we need a shell company!
Moreover, with the accumulation of our many Favored ones over these days, the account is quite ample.
At least for this battle, there’s no worry about running into deficits."
Lilith looked at the screen with some distress: "Then... what about next time?
Since the war has begun, the other side won’t give you more time or space.
During the next great battle, your little tricks will be uncovered!"
Lette wiggled his fingers proudly: "No, no, haven’t you seen it yet?"
"Seen what?"
"Immortal Bone is growing!"
Lette swiped his fingers backward, and the screen once again showed the fierce battle between Immortal Bone and the Cang Yan Knight.
At this point, the rhythm of the battle had completely fallen into the hands of Immortal Bone, with azure flames now emitting from him, and his combat power steadily rising.
"Once this battle is over, Immortal Bone can devour the lord of this Nether Beach.
By then, his strength will have leapt forward!
You should realize that no matter how much faith power is in the Tai Sui Heaven account, it can’t be transferred to Immortal Bone instantly.
So, in relative terms, this Power of Faith is just dead weight.
But this battle presents a turning point for that problem.
The money may be all spent, but Immortal Bone’s power will have grown to the next level.
In the next great battle, he won’t need the so-called blessings of Tai Sui Heaven.
With only his own strength, he can rip apart enemy leaders! Devour their power!
Once he devours all five sacrifices, he will have the power to vie for the Demon King!"
Lilith mused over what she heard: "You haven’t forgotten about the [Demon King], have you?"
The Witch Project was something Lette valued immensely.
After defeating the Wise Sage, Lette acquired a lot of insider information about the Witch Project.
Plus, the Wise Sage’s [Dragon Slayer] identity had long ago planted the idea in Lette’s mind to create a [Demon King].
Unlike Joanna’s [Cinderella] and Emily’s [Beauty and the Beast] born from Fairy Tale stories, Dragon Slayer is more of an elusive legend.
The conditions are much stricter.
But there’s no denying it’s a tremendous power.
The Dragon Slayer’s Lament is the best proof of its strength.
And the [Demon King] beacon Lette wants to create is also that way.
This is the main reason he’s stirring things up on the Nether Beach.
Lilith didn’t know Lette’s true purpose for seeking the [Demon King] beacon, but she felt it was important to him.
And that, to her, is enough.
As long as it’s important to Lette, she’ll steadfastly support him.
"You say Immortal Bone is just one of the Demon King candidates. If he’s so promising, why not just appoint him directly?"
Lette sighed: "I can’t. I thought about it a long time. To accomplish the Demon King beacon, simple nurturing and training aren’t enough.
We need several Demon King candidates, and then have them compete with one another to finally decide the victor.
The one that succeeds is a more powerful and pure Demon King!
I’m planning to create six Demon King candidates for them to compete.
The victor becomes the Demon King.
The others become the Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King!"
"Oh... eh?"
Lilith counted on her fingers again and again, sensing something was off!
Just as she wanted to ask more, there was a new turn of events on the battlefield.
The Withered King suddenly appeared from nowhere, extending his wooden-like hands, simultaneously attacking both Immortal Bone and the Cang Yan Knight.
Caught off guard, both were struck.
However, Immortal Bone was immune to the Withered King’s attack, while the Cang Yan Knight was clearly caught off guard and tricked by the enemy.
"Withered King! You!"
"What do you mean ’you!’? Are you really headstrong? Run! If you don’t leave, I’m going full force!"
The Cang Yan Knight wanted to continue fighting, but he slowly regained his composure.
Though unwilling, he had no choice but to retreat with the Withered King.
Immortal Bone wasn’t about to let him escape; slapping both hands on the ground, countless thick mycelia wound towards the two.
The Withered King waved his hands, and all the mycelia near him withered away.
But the Cang Yan Knight, now heavily wounded, almost got trapped. Helplessly, his soul exited the iron armor and possessed another Headless Knight, swiftly riding off on a Netherworld Warhorse.
Meanwhile, the remaining carcass and Cang Yan naturally ended up in the stomach of Immortal Bone.
"Such a pity..."
Immortal Bone wiped the corners of his mouth, suddenly summoning Cang Yan and fiercely smashing it onto the ground.
The flames surged like ocean waves sweeping across the battlefield, engulfing the undead creatures that couldn’t flee in time.
This azure flame evolved, not devouring but rather eroding their minds, converting them into its kind.
"Follow me, and together, pledge yourselves to Tai Sui Heaven!"
