Chapter 2999 Deception and Reality! Sacrificing the Pawn to Save the King! [Devourer’s Body] Must Run!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of booming sounds emanated from the enormous “Gluttonous Demon Fish,” as countless runes manifested and then exploded.

These runes were originally hidden, not easily revealed.

Just like when Wang Teng and the others were inside the [Illusory Nightmare Void], all the runes were concealed.

Only by finding a weakness could they be activated and destroyed.

Since this “Gluttonous Demon Fish” was formed from the [Illusory Nightmare Void], its runes naturally wouldn’t easily manifest.

But now, under the powerful attack of three True God-level beings, those runes could no longer be hidden.

Energy exploded on the “Gluttonous Demon Fish,” and the runes, as its core power, were naturally not spared.

This also indicated that the power of the three True Gods had reached the core of the [Illusory Nightmare Void]!

Wang Teng’s heart trembled, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Inside the [Illusory Nightmare Void], attacks were difficult to directly harm this kind of technique.

But outside, it was much easier.

His earlier guess was indeed correct.

This is actually quite easy to understand.

The [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain]’s main power lies within; the exterior is merely a shell.

Therefore, launching an attack from within will inevitably provoke a counterattack from the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain], making it difficult to damage its core.

However, launching an attack from the outside is different. This “Gluttonous Demon Fish” can only forcibly devour energy; before launching an attack, it needs to accumulate energy before spitting it out from its mouth.

The three True Gods had planned ahead, directly avoiding the “Gluttonous Demon Fish’s” large mouth during their attack.

In this way, it was prevented from directly launching an attack in response. That

said, the Soul-Eating Demon Lord’s condensation of the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain] into the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” form was a self-inflicted wound.

In its original state, the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain] could launch an attack from any point, avoiding its current passive state.

So the question arises:

since maintaining the original form of the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain], which could launch an attack from any point, why did the Soul-Eating Demon Lord condense it into the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” form in the first place?

That’s because the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” form is easier to move in!

During the previous battle, the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” form was incredibly fast.

In truth, it has both advantages and disadvantages!

“There’s hope!”

Seeing this, the three True Gods felt a renewed surge of joy.

Originally, they weren’t very confident, but fortunately, the result was better than expected. After only a short while, the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” seemed to be struggling.

They were invigorated and unleashed their power even more thoroughly, continuously pouring forth from their divine kingdoms.

“Even the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain] can’t withstand it!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord was extremely solemn. It hadn’t expected the power unleashed by these three True Gods of the Light Universe to be so strong, completely surpassing the three energy beams from before.

It felt as if it had been tricked!

Those three True Gods of the Light Universe hadn’t used their full strength at all; they had been merely stalling for time.

Damn it!

Weren’t they trying to buy time?

Why were they doing this?

Shouldn’t they be the ones trying to delay?

A series of questions arose in the mind of the Soul-Eating Demon Lord. This deceptive maneuvering was giving it a major headache.

Little did it know that all of this was orchestrated by Wang Teng.

Although time was indeed extremely tight, it was not wise to sacrifice the greater good for a minor one. Knowing that it couldn’t tear apart the black mist, why unleash its full power?

Wouldn’t that be foolish?

That’s why the three True Gods hadn’t wasted their efforts earlier; they knew they had to deal with the [Statue of the Underworld] within the dark mist first, otherwise everything would be in vain.

Now, things were different.

Wang Teng had calculated everything perfectly, and with the [Statue of the Underworld] no longer an obstacle, when was a better time to unleash his power?

Unfortunately, these intricate details were not apparent on the surface. The Soul-Eating Demon Lord was currently under attack and exhausted from dealing with the situation, so naturally, it couldn’t understand any of this.

“No, we must stop them! We can’t let those three energy beams directly impact the Dark Mist!”

“Otherwise, the Dark Mist will surely be torn apart!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord couldn’t imagine such an outcome. These three True Gods of the Light Universe must have some hidden trump card, and this trump card must be related to tearing apart the Dark Mist; otherwise, they wouldn’t still be unwilling to give up now.

The more it thought about it, the more alarmed it became, feeling a chill run down its spine, as if even the [Dark Devouring Demon Body] couldn’t withstand the Light Universe’s trump card.

This feeling was too unbearable!

Who were they?

They were Dark Species!

They were always the ones threatening the beings of other universes; when had they ever been threatened by beings of other universes?

It was utterly contrary to the natural order!

So, it hardened its heart and continuously unleashed the power of the [Dark Devouring Demon Body], merging it into the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain].

Originally, according to its intention, it wouldn’t increase the power of the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain].

This method was already unable to trap those three True God-level beings; unleashing more power would be useless, only useful for buying time.

Some methods have their limits after one use, and they won’t work the second time.

But now there’s no other way; the only option is to unleash the power of the [Phantom Indolence Nightmare Domain], otherwise the [Gluttonous Demon Body] simply can’t withstand those three energy beams.

Boom!

As energy was injected, the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” trembled violently, its entire body erupting with endless runes.

The terrifying suction force intensified, continuously devouring the power of the three energy beams.

The light of the three energy beams noticeably dimmed several times, and the runic chains within them even collapsed, unable to maintain their state.

This [Phantom Indolence Nightmare Domain] is incredibly terrifying; it can absorb not only stellar primal force but also the power of primordial laws, immortality, and world power.

However, digesting it isn’t so easy; it requires time.

And what the Soul-Eating Demon Lord lacks now is precisely time; it can only store that energy in the [Gluttonous Space].

The three True God-level beings exchanged a glance, their expressions slightly hardening. Instead of resisting, they actively channeled the energy of their three beams of energy into the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain].

It was actually quite simple!

The [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain] had already unleashed its devouring power to its limit; they didn’t need to do anything, simply cooperate with the devouring.

Unless the other party gave up devouring, there was no solution.

“They want to burst the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain]!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord’s expression changed, immediately understanding the three True Gods’ purpose, filled with shock and anger.

But it was powerless to stop them!

Now there were only two paths.

One was to continue devouring, gambling that the three True God-level beings couldn’t burst the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain].

One option was to abandon the devouring and continue stalling for time, gambling that the three energy beams wouldn’t destroy the “Gluttonous Demon Fish’s” outer shell.

Both paths were essentially gambles; that’s battle—there are no absolutes, only choices made after weighing the pros and cons.

“Hmph! I’ll see if you can burst the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain]!”

In the end, the Soul-Eating Demon Lord chose to devour it. It simply couldn’t gamble that the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” could withstand the bombardment of the three energy beams.

After all, the internal space of the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain] was always more robust than the external one.

Attacking from the outside was too easy to break through.

“It’s still devouring!”

The Candle Dragon True God stared at the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” and said in a deep voice.

The Radiant Wind True God said, “That’s normal. The most difficult part of the ‘Gluttonous Demon Fish’ is its internal space, not its outer shell!”

The Candle Dragon True God and the Mechanical Race True God, recalling their previous predicament, both agreed wholeheartedly and nodded slightly.

“But if this continues, won’t too much of the energy we unleash be absorbed?” The Candle Dragon True God hesitated, then asked with some worry.

He was concerned that the dark mist wouldn’t be so easily torn apart!

Mainly, he was still terrified by what he’d been shown before.

The thickness and density of that dark mist were truly frightening, seemingly impossible to tear apart.

Although the energy beams unleashed this time were stronger than the previous three, that didn’t mean the previous beams were weak.

They had used considerable power then, yet still failed to tear apart the dark mist.

This was enough to illustrate the problem!

The dark, deathly power unleashed by the [Statue of the Underworld] appeared later, attempting to prevent them from tearing apart the dark mist.

This prevented them from probing the depths of the dark mist, unsure how much energy would be needed to completely tear it apart.

The Mechanical Race True God and the Radiant Wind True God shared this concern, but they shook their heads: “We have no other choice.”

In truth, they both knew that if they didn’t attack the [Demonic Devourer Body], it would definitely hinder their efforts to tear apart the dark mist.

Although they could initially catch the enemy off guard, they couldn’t guarantee they could instantly tear through the dark mist. Once the enemy reacted, the situation would be no different than before.

With external obstacles, tearing through the dark mist was extremely difficult.

Therefore, as Wang Teng said, eliminating the [Gluttonous Demon Body] from the start was the optimal choice.

Boom!

Just then, the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” suddenly trembled again, as if something inside it exploded, followed by a booming sound.

The eyes of the three True God-level beings lit up, as if they had seen hope again. Boom

! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, another series of booming sounds came from within the “Gluttonous Demon Fish,” and at the same time, the runes on its body began to flash wildly.

“It can’t hold on much longer!”

On the other side, Wang Teng sensed the abnormality of the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” and thought to himself.

He was very familiar with both the [Illusory Sloth Nightmare Domain] and the [Gluttonous Demon Fish] combat techniques, so he naturally understood what was going on better than others.

Now he was almost certain that his opponent was about to give up.

“Damn it!!!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord couldn’t help but curse. It was bad enough that its defenses couldn’t hold, but now even the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain] was crumbling.

This was truly outrageous!

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord was already considering retreat. It knew that if things continued like this, even its [Demonic Devouring Body] form might be severely damaged.

It was time to sacrifice it to save the king!

Boom!

The moment the Soul-Eating Demon Lord’s thought arose, a violent roar erupted

from within the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain]. Immediately afterward, a series of cracking sounds, as if it couldn’t withstand the pressure, emanated from within. The runes on the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” were also exploding, the situation mirroring the previous defense.

“Damn it! I’ll get my revenge sooner or later!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord cursed, filled with deep resentment, ultimately choosing to abandon the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain].

Controlling its [Gluttonous Demon Body], it immediately fled towards the outside of the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain].

It had already prepared to escape when the two clashed, so it was now very close to the edge of the [Phantom Sloth Nightmare Domain], able to escape almost instantly.

“Hmm?!” Wang Teng’s gaze sharpened, immediately focusing on a certain spot on the “Gluttonous Demon Fish’s” body.

It was on its abdomen.

A black shadow suddenly burst forth from within, about to disappear into the surrounding dark mist.

It concealed itself, the dark mist enveloping its body, seemingly trying to merge with the surrounding darkness.

Coupled with the extremely violent eruption of dark calamity energy around it, everything was now in chaos.

If Wang Teng hadn’t been constantly watching the “Gluttonous Demon Fish” and knew it extremely well, and hadn’t just noticed that it had escaped from within the “Gluttonous Demon Fish,” he might not have discovered the problem.

“Not good! That [Devourer’s Body] is trying to escape!”

Wang Teng reacted instantly, immediately transmitting his voice to the three True Gods, “Seniors, that [Devourer’s Body] is below the belly of the ‘Gluttonous Demon Fish,’ quickly stop it!”

The three True Gods were momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting the [Devourer’s Body] to escape so readily, and they hadn’t noticed the black mist either, which was why they hadn’t acted immediately.

Fortunately, Wang Teng’s reminder was timely, and they reacted instantly, unleashing an attack on the [Devourer’s Body].

“Trying to escape!”

True God Zhulong roared, terrifying crimson flames erupting from his body, condensing into a spear-like beam that pierced out.

Boom!

The powerful crimson spear beam tore through the black mist, landing directly on the [Devourer’s Body], the terrifying flames enveloping it and stopping it.

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord hadn’t expected the three True Gods to react so quickly, and in its hasty escape, it had no time to react, resulting in it being struck solidly by this attack.

Boom! Boom!

The attacks of the Mechanical Race True God and the Radiant Wind True God arrived as well, white hammer beams and cyan blade beams slashing across the sky and striking the [Demonic Devourer Body] hard.

The [Demonic Devourer Body] was instantly enveloped by white lightning and cyan gales, unable to escape for a moment.

“Roar!”

The Soul-Eating Demon Lord roared angrily, controlling the [Demonic Devourer Body] to unleash its energy wildly in an attempt to struggle and escape.

“Hahaha…”

Seeing its pathetic, trapped state, the True God of Candle Dragon burst into hearty laughter.

Awesome!

So satisfying!

Finally, this [Gluttonous Demon Body] has suffered a defeat. It

was truly a difficult time!

Boom!

At this moment, a deafening roar resounded, and blinding dark light erupted from the “Gluttonous Demon Fish’s” body. It completely… exploded!!! (End of Chapter)
