Chapter 733 - 727: The Demon God Routed and Fleeing

The Demon Lord was utterly perplexed, or rather, he was deeply unwilling.

In this Returning Ruins Arena, he couldn’t even defeat Lin Yuan.

All those years of arduous cultivation, what were they for?

Seeing his exposed, bare-boned hand, the Demon Lord felt a tinge of confusion.

The Demon Lord’s eyes turned hollow and vacant, devoid of light.

Dao Heart.

The Demon Lord’s Dao Heart was about to collapse.

However, being one of the Four Great Primordial Spirits, his Dao Heart was not so easily shattered.

Just as his Dao Heart was on the verge of crumbling, clarity returned to his eyes.

"No!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"The Power of Cause and Effect on me hasn’t been eradicated, I can’t die."

"Lin Yuan, I’ll kill you, kill you!" The Demon Lord roared towards the sky, his eyes bloodshot.

From this moment on, Lin Yuan had become the Demon Lord’s inner demon.

Until the day the Demon Lord killed Lin Yuan, this inner demon would not be vanquished.

Without eliminating the inner demon, he couldn’t make any progress.

As long as he could kill Lin Yuan and remove the inner demon, the Demon Lord’s Dao Heart would become even more resilient, with boundless prospects.

Seeing the Demon Lord’s blood-red eyes, Lin Yuan shuddered.

Right now, if one were to say the Demon Lord intended to devour Lin Yuan whole, Lin Yuan would believe it.

"Damn it!"

"This bastard really bears a grudge against me; if he ever gets a chance, he’ll definitely kill me!" From the Demon Lord’s gaze, Lin Yuan read strong killing intent.

Lin Yuan was a timid person; he was scared!

When scared, he tended to kill.

Lin Yuan always adhered to one principle: when someone wants to kill you, you should act first and kill them.

If you kill them, they can’t kill you.

"The Demon Lord must die!"

"Must die."

"This Returning Ruins Arena is my only chance to kill him; once out of the Returning Ruins Arena, I won’t have another chance."

"I’m afraid, once out of the Returning Ruins Arena, I’ll have to sleep with one eye open and one eye closed," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Right now, both Lin Yuan wanted to kill the Demon Lord, and the Demon Lord wanted to kill Lin Yuan.

The two were complete arch-enemies, meeting with intense hatred.

Especially the Demon Lord, whose eyes were red, and teeth clenching with cracking sounds.

"Ten Thousand Souls Born."

The Demon Lord roared angrily, performing a seal decision with one hand, and the demon banner exuded black light in all directions.

From the black banner emerged countless howling hideous evil spirits.

The Bone Shattering Sand could only destroy physical bodies, useless against spiritual entities.

The evil spirits emerging from the black banner were incorporeal, easily escaping the Bone Shattering Banner.

These evil spirits swam toward Lin Yuan like sharks in the sea.

Lin Yuan frowned, startled.

He had to admit, the Demon Lord had a vast array of tricks!

However, Lin Yuan remained completely unperturbed.

He stood mid-air, continuously forming seals with his hands.

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Manifest."

With the completion of the Seal Technique, a Six Paths Reincarnation Disc appeared before Lin Yuan.

"Soldiers of the Afterlife."

"Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang...."

As Lin Yuan spoke each word, warriors in black armor from Great Qin, elite soldiers in red armor from Great Han, valiant warriors in yellow armor from Great Tang....

All the formidable generals and troops from Dragon Country’s history appeared in soul form, charging toward the multitude of evil spirits released by the black banner.

Playing ghosts?

The Demon Lord really brought an axe to grind at Guan Gong’s door.

It’s noteworthy that the Yin Celestial Son is Lin Yuan’s Evil Corpse, a part of Lin Yuan.

The Yin Celestial Son rules the Underworld, commanding thousands of ghosts.

The magic that Yin Celestial Son could wield, Lin Yuan also could.

Compared to the Yin Celestial Son, a Tier One Powerhouse, Lin Yuan’s magic was merely somewhat weaker.

Lin Yuan was indeed the ancestor of playing with ghosts, yet the Demon Lord dared to challenge him in this?

Fine, you release ten thousand evil spirits, I’ll summon countless warrior souls.

Warrior souls battling evil spirits, that’s quite a spectacle.

In terms of individual strength, the evil spirits meticulously nurtured by the Demon Lord in the black banner were naturally stronger.

However, warrior souls had their own advantage.

The biggest advantage of warrior souls was their sheer numbers.

The number of warrior souls was dozens to hundreds of times that of the evil spirits.

These warrior souls formed phalanxes, continuously attacking the evil spirits.

Faced with the phalanx of warrior souls, the evil spirits seemed fierce, wreaking havoc within.

However, it was temporary.

The evil spirits were initially fierce but lacked sustainability.

Once exhausted, the evil spirits attempted to retreat from the formation to return to the black banner for replenishment.

However, they realized they had ventured too deep to return easily.

Seizing the moment of the evil spirits’ exhaustion, the original shattered formation instantly regrouped, switched to offense, and began slaughtering the evil spirits.

Seeing this, the Demon Lord was shocked once more.

Demon Lord: "???"

"I’ve lost again?"

"How is Lin Yuan this powerful?" The Demon Lord was both resentful and increasingly fearful of Lin Yuan.

The Bone Shattering Sand was useless for physical obliteration.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner was also ineffective against souls.

Though the Demon Lord had many tricks, he didn’t know how to counter Lin Yuan at the moment.

The Demon Lord was at a loss on how to proceed.

Crucially, the Demon Lord lacked confidence; he was uncertain of himself.

Confidence is paramount in battle.

The saying, "The brave win when paths cross," reflects a form of confidence.

Now, before making a move, the Demon Lord hesitated, unsure if his techniques could counter Lin Yuan.

The more hesitant he was, the more he lost the advantage.

Already at a disadvantage, losing the advantage sealed his fate almost inevitably.

That is....

Defeat like a landslide.

While he hesitated on his next move, an even more shocking scene occurred.

Lin Yuan, under the cover of countless warrior souls, unknowingly approached the Demon Lord for an attack.

Lin Yuan’s momentum was like a startling swan, quick as lightning, arriving before him in an instant.

By the time the Demon Lord reacted, it was too late.

"Clang."

The Human King Sword unsheathed, a cold sword hum resonating.

The sharp blade of the Human King Sword unleashed a breathtaking sword energy, aiming directly at the Demon Lord’s life.

At this moment, any response or temporary defense by the Demon Lord was too late.

Faced with mortal peril, the Demon Lord made a move.

Without hesitation, he hurled the black banner in his hand at the incoming sword energy.

Though the black banner was the Demon God’s magical treasure, of extraordinary material.

The black banner met the sword energy, getting cleaved in half.

It didn’t completely block the sword energy but slowed and weakened it.

Thus, the Demon Lord had time to react.

However, the Demon Lord didn’t wield another magical treasure to duel with Lin Yuan.

Instead, he performed an earth escape spell, vanishing on the spot.

To Lin Yuan’s surprise, the Demon Lord actually fled?

The Returning Ruins Arena was vast; as long as one remained within, it wasn’t considered a violation.

First hide, then wait for an opportunity to ambush was also a way of dueling.
