Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Slaying the Wiseman

Celestial Princess said, "If my guess is correct, there might be a terrifying monster hidden within the Royal City! That monster has devoured all the city’s residents!"

Zhen Kai nodded slightly. "That’s very likely!"

Suddenly, a monster emerged from a luxurious skyscraper. It stood ten meters tall with eight arms and a head like a Tyrannosaurus. Its body, covered in black, muscular armor, exuded a terrifying aura as it strode forward.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!!

The dozens of Dragon Hunting Dogs charged straight at the monster. The moment they came within ten meters of it, their bodies spontaneously exploded into a bloody mist that was then inhaled into the monster’s mouth.

"You wretched beings! I am the wise Niren! If you can answer three of my questions, you may live and proceed into the Royal City to inherit its treasures. But if you answer incorrectly, you will become my food."

The monster gave a savage grin. With a single step, it practically teleported, appearing just ten meters from Shu Feng and his party. It looked down on them with a cold, piercing gaze.

In that instant, over a hundred Dragon Hunting Dogs exploded, scattering chunks of flesh and blood in all directions.

A terrifying pressure, at the Demigod Peak Level, radiated from the monster. As its gaze fell upon them, Celestial Princess and the others couldn’t help but tremble.

’This monster is incredibly powerful. We can’t fight it head-on!’

Celestial Princess’s Spiritual Sense screamed with warnings, alerting her to the monster’s immense power.

"I..."

Zhen Kai grit his teeth, about to volunteer to test the monster’s capabilities.

A faint ripple shimmered, and a Spirit Master Level Blood Demon Warrior materialized. It walked toward the monster and said, "I’ll answer your questions."

The monster grinned. "Very good! I ask you, how do you divide ten apples evenly among three people?"

The Blood Demon Warrior replied, "Each person gets three apples. The last apple is cut into three equal pieces and distributed among them."

"Congratulations, you’ve answered correctly! Now for the next question: How many hairs are on your body? You must answer within ten seconds! 10... 9..."

The Blood Demon Warrior froze, a cold sweat breaking out on its back.

"Zero! You failed to answer in time. The sentence is death!"

The monster let out a savage laugh. A terrifying fluctuation of power at the Divine Spirit Level erupted from its body. Its mouth instantly gaped open ten meters wide, and it swallowed the Blood Demon Warrior in a single gulp.

To the sound of bloodcurdling crunches, streams of grotesque blood and bone fragments dripped from the monster’s mouth, spattering onto the ground.

"You’re next, little girl! Come on, answer my questions!"

The monster’s gaze shifted, landing on Celestial Princess as it flashed an utterly vicious smile.

Celestial Princess’s heart sank. ’The questions from this monster, which is comparable to a Divine Spirit, are completely bizarre. It clearly has no intention of letting us answer correctly.’

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed. He drew his greatsword and slashed down, unleashing a terrifying storm of energy that shot straight toward the monster.

"You dare to attack me..."

The savage smile on the monster’s face froze as the greatsword slammed directly into its body.

A horrifying gash appeared on the monster, and a spray of black, foul blood erupted from the eight-armed creature.

Countless tendrils of flesh writhed within the wound, rapidly repairing its body.

"Damn you! A mere lowly slave dares to defy me, the great Wise One?! Die!"

A savage light flashed in the eight-armed monster’s eyes. Its eight arms shot toward Shu Feng like bolts of lightning.

’Impressive Life Force!’

Shu Feng used Shadow Jump, vanishing from his spot and reappearing behind the eight-armed monster.

"Storm Swordsmanship!"

Shu Feng activated his Demigod Power. His greatsword was instantly shrouded in a tempest, transforming into a terrifying storm of blades that completely engulfed the eight-armed monster.

"No!!"

The eight-armed monster shrieked as it was torn to pieces within the storm of blades, its remains scattering across the ground in countless fragments.

’So strong! That monster’s power was approaching the Divine Spirit Level, yet he killed it with ease!’

A fervent glint flashed in Celestial Princess’s eyes. Of her group, she was the strongest, and so she knew better than anyone how powerful that eight-armed monster was. Even if her entire squad attacked at once, they would have been no match for it.

’It’s not dead? What a tenacious, bizarre creature!’

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, and he immediately cast Flame Dragon Technique.

Flames churned as a Flame Dragon materialized. Wreathed in blue fire, it slammed into the remains of the eight-armed monster.

The remains of the eight-armed monster shot up, melded together, and transformed into a black torrent that lunged straight for Celestial Princess.

A brilliant blue light suddenly erupted from the void, shining with dazzling radiance as it completely swallowed the black torrent.

Within that dazzling blue light, the black torrent was utterly purified, turning to ash that scattered on the wind.

"Source Energy +8,000,000, Holy Soul +8, Evil God Divinity +5."

A series of notifications appeared.

"You killed the Wise One!"

"Death sentence!"

"Death sentence!"

"..."

The entire Royal City suddenly seemed to come alive. On building after building, human-like faces began to emerge from the walls.

Countless eyes stared intently at Shu Feng, letting out a chorus of bloodcurdling shrieks.

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!

Amid the rumbling, the buildings began to sprout legs, transforming into gigantic monsters that lumbered swiftly toward Shu Feng and his party.

Zhen Kai’s face fell. "This is bad! There are so many monsters!"

Liu Lang’s expression changed drastically. "This entire ancient city is a monster’s nest! Every one of these monsters is a terrifying existence at the Spirit Saint Level or higher!"

Here in Nia Royal City, many of the buildings stood dozens of meters tall. Each of the monsters they had become emanated a terrifying aura comparable to the Spirit Saint Level. Their sheer weight was horrifying, and even a Demigod Level expert would struggle to withstand a single punch from them.

Celestial Princess shouted urgently, "We have to retreat, Shu Feng! This Royal City is too dangerous!"

"Death sentence? The only ones dying today are you monsters! All of you can just die!"

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. A Curse Seal for the Burning Void Demon Flame appeared on his right hand. A stream of crimson Burning Void Demon Flame shot forth, sweeping toward the building-monsters.

Wherever the crimson Burning Void Demon Flame passed, the building-monsters were instantly set ablaze.

The Burning Void Demon Flame spread with terrifying speed. The moment one was ignited, the flames would rapidly engulf the monster’s entire body.
