Chapter 573 The King of Wild Beasts, the Battle Intensifies

The Skeleton King reappeared, wielding his longsword and unleashing the same skills, a scene that once again shocked everyone.

Jiang Chen summoned the Skeleton King three times in a row, which not only proved the reusability of this skill, but also demonstrated his amazing strength.

The people present began to realize that Jiang Chen was not just a divine general; his true strength was comparable to that of these veteran experts.

They no longer regarded Jiang Chen as an ordinary divine general, but as a powerhouse of equal strength. Jiang Chen's status in their hearts rose rapidly, after all, he was only level 69, not even having completed the third transformation, and his future potential was immeasurable. The Skeleton King once again swung his God-Slaying Sword, and at the same time, elemental chaos swept out wildly. Under the combined attack of Jiang Chen and his sister Jiang Ruo, the surface of the Demon Emperor's giant hand finally shattered completely.

After the outer shell of the giant hand shattered, its core was revealed. There, dazzling light intertwined, emanating an extraordinary aura—the aura of laws!

Jiang Chen's heart tightened; he knew that this was the truly terrifying aspect of the Demon Emperor's Giant Hand.

"Jiang Chen, do you see this? This is the power of the laws." Antares's voice echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Laws can amplify attributes infinitely. Even with only one million attributes, one can unleash the power of five or six million attributes. Without the support of laws, even with five million attributes, one can only unleash half of them."

"The law is both strengthening and sublimation!" Antares' words made Jiang Chen fully understand this principle.

He realized that while attributes were important, at the level of a Demon Emperor, the power of laws was far more crucial. Attributes were merely the foundation, while laws represented the true sublimation.

Although he possessed powerful attributes, he did not understand the laws, and therefore could not contend with a powerful figure like the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor's giant hand slammed down again, instantly destroying the Skeleton King. The undead army appeared beside Jiang Chen, their halos of immortality shattering—this was their last chance to die. If they died again, they would vanish completely.

"Little brother, step back!" Jiang Ruo's voice rang in Jiang Chen's ears, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.

With a delicate shout, Jiang Ruo caused two dazzling jewels on her twin swords to simultaneously gleam with brilliant light. These two inconspicuous jewels, usually set on the hilts of her swords, now shone like two brilliant stars, illuminating the entire battlefield.

"Earthfire Pearls!" Hong Jishi exclaimed, clearly recognizing the origin of the two pearls. Jiang Chen had also heard of the Earthfire Pearls' formidable reputation; they were mythical treasures possessing the terrifying power of the earth's core flames. At this moment, the two Earthfire Pearls were activated in Jiang Ruo's hands, unleashing blazing flames that instantly transformed her twin swords into swords of fire. The twin swords clashed, producing a crisp ringing sound, and Jiang Ruo was completely enveloped in raging flames.

As she moved, countless fiery swords appeared in the air, like a barrage of arrows, rushing straight towards the Demon Emperor's giant hand. This was Jiang Ruo's ultimate technique—Dance of Ten Thousand Swords!

With the enhancement of the two Earth Fire Pearls, the skill "Ten Thousand Swords Dance" became even more terrifying. Within the fire swords, there seemed to be a trace of the power of law, multiplying their power.

"Young Jiang Chen, your sister has already been able to unleash a trace of law power with the help of the Earth Fire Pearl," Antares's voice echoed in Jiang Chen's mind. "However, this is far from enough. Such a small amount of law power is still far inferior to the power of the Demon Emperor."

Jiang Chen also noticed this. Although Jiang Ruo's sword strike was incredibly powerful, it still seemed somewhat powerless against the Demon Emperor's giant palm. The air was filled with raging flames, imbued with the aura of laws, as if they would incinerate the entire world. Thousands of fiery swords rained down on the Demon Emperor's giant palm, causing it to twist and deform continuously.

The collision of the laws of nature didn't produce a loud sound, but it caused the surrounding space to constantly shift, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. Outsiders could hardly imagine how powerful this collision was; only those who had truly reached this level could feel its terror.

However, even though Jiang Ruo and Jiang Chen had used all their strength, the myriad swords flying around could only block the Demon Emperor's giant palm for less than two seconds. Only six or seven seconds had passed since the Demon Emperor's giant palm struck out.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Ruo knew they couldn't stop the Demon Emperor's colossal hand from advancing. However, they didn't give up. Jiang Chen was continuously sending soul energy from the Soul Grinding Disc into the souls of the various god-level powerhouses. They were using their last ounce of strength to protect this land and their loved ones. If the Soul Grinding Disc fell into the Demon Emperor's hands now, the losses they faced would be incalculable. Once the Demon Emperor mastered this immense soul power, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Chen gripped the Law Crystal tightly, preparing to summon an elemental lich to deal with the immediate crisis. However, at that moment, an astonishing sword light streaked from afar, its speed almost exceeding human imagination.

It was a longsword as black as ink. It drew a sharp trajectory in the air, instantly traversing hundreds of miles, and finally leaving a deep wound on the Demon Emperor's giant hand. The Demon Emperor's giant hand trembled violently, and two of his fingers were severed by the sword.

The power of the laws contained in this sword strike was extremely strong, clearly far greater than all the efforts Jiang Chen and Jiang Ruo had made before.

"The Demon-Slaying Sword! It's the Demon-Slaying Sword of the Righteous God!" someone exclaimed.

"The God of Righteousness has indeed arrived!" some others exclaimed excitedly.

“No, the God of Righteousness didn’t come; only the Demon-Slaying Sword came,” someone analyzed more calmly.

"It seems that the God of Righteousness has not been fully resurrected." Everyone understood immediately and realized the truth of the matter.

The Demon Emperor's voice came from the Demon Emperor's Palace, carrying a hint of anger and mockery: "Jiang Yi, you think you can stop me in your current half-dead state? You're just delusional."

However, Jiang Yi's firm voice came from the Demon-Slaying Sword: "We'll know once we try. Unless you come in your true form, I, Jiang, will not let you succeed today."

The Demon Emperor's giant palm gathered power once more, preparing to launch a new attack. However, the Demon-Slaying Sword nimbly dodged, turning and slashing back, colliding fiercely with the Demon Emperor's giant palm.

With Jiang Yi's intervention, the Demon Emperor's giant hand was temporarily unable to reach the Soul Grinding Disc. Meanwhile, Hong Jishi and the others were facing immense pressure. The passage was teeming with wild beasts, most of which had already emerged, ready to surge into this world.

Although these wild beasts were not very strong, at most only at the pseudo-god level, they possessed the characteristic of being difficult to kill. Even when Hong Jishi and the others attacked together, they could not kill any of them.

Seeing the critical situation, Li Xueru said in a deep voice, "Once they come out, gather them together and I'll try to trap them with an array."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The Divine Dragon Tower ceased its attack, and Li Xueru began rapidly casting a series of hand seals with lightning speed. Hundreds upon hundreds of runes flew from his hands and landed inside the Divine Dragon Tower. Using the Divine Dragon Tower as a bridge, he began to set up a powerful array.

This is not a killing formation, but a sealing formation specifically designed to trap wild beasts. Li Xueru plans to use the Divine Dragon Tower as the core of the formation, utilizing its powerful strength to suppress them.

A steady stream of soul energy was flowing into their bodies through the Soul Grinding Disc, and each person's soul was gradually strengthening. Li Xueru found that he could set up formations and hand seals faster than ever before, which was a direct benefit of the strengthened soul.

The appearance of this spirit-eating beast presents a rare opportunity for them. If they can absorb all the remaining soul energy, they may all officially reach level 96 and become true high-level god-level powerhouses. At that time, they will be able to access the power of laws, and their strength will greatly increase.

However, this will take time; the most pressing issue right now is how to deal with the impending surge of wild beasts. As for the Demon Emperor, although Jiang Yi has already made his move, even if he is no match for the Demon Emperor, he can at least buy some time. This time should be enough for Jiang Chen to transfer his soul energy from the Soul Grinding Disc.

Li Xueru has already devised a plan: "Once the wild beasts are released, you must do everything in your power to defend them. I will use the Divine Dragon Tower to seal them off."

Hong Jishi nodded in agreement: "As long as the King of Wild Beasts doesn't come, we have confidence."

The words had barely left his mouth when a terrifying roar echoed from the spacetime tunnel, sending a shiver down everyone's spine. Hong Jishi immediately slapped himself hard across the face, lamenting, "What a jinx! What I said came true!" Hong Jishi shouted, "Old Li, can you trap the King of the Wild Beasts?"

Li Xueru's face instantly turned ugly: "Sleepy my ass! How can the power of the King of Wild Beasts be dealt with so easily?"

Hong Jishi's jinx has come true once again, plunging them into deeper worry. If the King of Wild Beasts truly descends upon the human world, then humanity will face an unprecedented crisis.

Feng An sighed softly and said, "If the King of Wild Beasts really comes, I will summon the Ancestral Sword and perish together with it."

"I hope everyone will take good care of my Feng family." Feng Anzai's words were filled with determination.

Yi Qianjue followed closely behind, without much pretense: "Your ancestral sword may not be enough, there's also the Holy Horn of my Yi family."

"Including the Demon-Suppressing Seal of my Ning family!" The elders of the Ning family also expressed their support without hesitation.

Hong Jishi shouted, "You old bastards, are you trying to take advantage of me because I don't have any ancestors who have brought me good fortune?" Feng An laughed and said, "Old Hong, if we're gone, our family will be in your care."

These families all possess powerful weapons passed down from their ancestors, but once used, these weapons can kill the enemy but also injure the user. It's a suicidal tactic, and they won't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"You old fogies, it's too early to talk about life and death!" A clear voice rang out from afar as Ao Hongchen flew in from the sky, wielding a large sword. With a single slash, a thousand-meter-long blade of light swept across the spacetime tunnel, cleaving the wild beasts that had already poked their heads out in half!
