Chapter 144: I Don’t Need Even a Second to Eliminate You!
Zhou Tong stepped forward and stood in front of the Devil King.
He saw that the other party’s face was twisted with rage, holding a thick mass of demonic energy in his hands as if it were a treasured possession.
“This is…”
Zhou Tong’s pupils constricted, sensing an extremely evil fluctuation coming from it.
“Primordial Demonic Energy!”
“You are quite knowledgeable, I suppose you must know the purpose of this thing?” The combined Devil King mocked Zhou Tong. “In your human territory, we have buried countless amounts of Primordial Demonic Energy, which we will use to attack you.”
“When the full might of the Demonic Race descends, it will be the day your Human Race turns to dust!”
Hearing this, Zhou Tong remained expressionless.
In his previous life, a great demonic plague had indeed broken out across human territories, causing terrible disasters.
But in the end, it was all eradicated by him, and no cataclysmic storms were unleashed.
“Don’t believe me?”
Seeing Zhou Tong’s unchanged expression, the combined Devil King felt a surge of anger.
“Regardless of whether it’s true or not, you won’t live to see it.”
As soon as the words dropped, Zhou Tong disappeared from his spot.
“I advise you to refrain from overconfidence.”
The Devil King grinned savagely, and in the blink of an eye, he refined all that Primordial Demonic Energy.
“Boom!!”
He achieved significant results; the power he had consumed in the previous battle was instantly replenished, and it even ascended to another level.
“Hahaha… this power is just right, I’m really ecstatic!”
He went mad with excitement, even jabbing his finger into his temple and spinning wildly!
The sight of blood splattering was too bizarre and terrifying; an ordinary person would lose their courage just by glancing at it.
But in front of Zhou Tong, all this was child’s play. He flickered and launched his strongest attack.
“Howl!”
“Too weak!”
The two fought again, and upon meeting, the combined Devil King was defeated once more, continually crushed in close combat!
However, he didn’t cling to the fight. With a confident smile on his face, he tried to create distance from Zhou Tong.
“Talisman 89, Death Line!”
In this state, Zhou Tong finally maximized the effect of the Spirit Talisman; he struck with a lethal move that represented death.
“Heavenly Demon Grand Transformation!”
The two clashed from afar, and terrifying ripples extinguished each other!
Immediately after, the blood-red Union Lock spread out from Zhou Tong’s body. Wherever it passed, everything around it was entangled and put to use by him.
“Boom!”
The earth shook as Zhou Tong lifted the ground beneath the Imperial Capital five or six zhang high, forming a giant peak and hurled it at the Devil King!
“Hmph!”
The Devil King’s eyes trembled slightly, yet he didn’t take it head-on, instead dodging lightly.
“Spirit Seal 90, Black Coffin!”
“Spirit Seal 91, Thousand-Hand Radiance Cannon!”
The two moves launched simultaneously; one for sealing, the other for killing, flowing seamlessly together, catching the opponent’s flaw.
The combined Devil King found it difficult to evade, seemingly having no choice but to take the hit.
At that moment…
“Time Suspension!”
His Dharmakaya activated, halting the explosion of the talismans and launching a rapid counterattack.
“You overestimate yourself.”
Zhou Tong’s expression turned cold as he exerted all his strength to thoroughly obliterate the opponent.
He succeeded; within five seconds, he tore the Devil King to shreds and then pressed the attack.
However, his actions suddenly came to a halt—not an act, but a genuine stop!
This anomaly made Zhou Tong’s pupils shrink sharply.
“Six seconds passed… seven seconds passed…”
The battered body of the combined Devil King was recovering.
“Didn’t expect it, huh? I have to thank you for breaking and then establishing, as it made my Dharmakaya stronger, allowing me to pause for a longer time!”
After his words fell, he launched a heavy punch, a rain of fists struck Zhou Tong.
“Eight seconds passed, nine seconds passed!”
Time began to flow again!
“Nine seconds! A full nine seconds! Hahahaha…”
“Ah!”
Zhou Tong spat blood from the corner of his mouth and flew back at incredible speed. The spot he was hit ignited in flames, yet he wasn’t severely injured.
On the contrary, the Devil King’s fists had been melted, as if he were not striking a human body but rather a blazing sun.
“Residual Fire of All Forms, Demon!”
Zhou Tong mocked as he activated the Six Combinations Annihilation Sword at the moment he sensed the anomaly, and indeed caught the opponent off guard.
“Damn human, the next time I pause time, I will end this battle completely.”
The Devil King was maddened, swooping down like a hawk after a rabbit.
“Time Suspension!”
“Buzz…”
With a strange fluctuation, the world returned to stillness once more.
This time, Zhou Tong also wore a grave expression as he remained frozen, knowing he could not make a rash move due to his slower activity compared to the opponent.
“Heavenly Demon Blood Shadow Mountain!!”
An aura of ultimate destruction erupted from the Devil King.
It was clear this was his ultimate kill move, drawing on all of his power for the final blow; it was no exaggeration to say that this move could slay saints!
“Two seconds passed, three seconds passed…”
The Devil King was crazily gathering power, ultimately lifting the pitch-black giant mountain, ready to unleash a massacre!
“Four seconds are up, go to hell!!!”
A massive shadow cast down, Zhou Tong’s heart and spirit moved, finding himself the first target, smashed down to the ground!
Immediately after, the Demon Mountain fell, seeking to crush him into powder.
“Howl!!”
Xiao Bai unleashed her Dharmakaya, propping up the sky with one hand while constantly punching with the other, trying to shake the Demon Mountain off.
“Useless, useless, useless… you can’t escape now, hahahaha!”
The Devil King stood at the peak of the Demon Mountain, wildly pouring out violence, overpowering Zhou Tong and tilting the scale of victory.
“Nine seconds passed… say goodbye!”
The Devil King’s blood surged, and with one last punch, he burned the Primordial Energy, completely breaking the balance.
“Time begins to flow!”
“Boom!!”
The Demon Mountain exploded, the entire Imperial Capital shook violently, and within a hundred miles, everything was flattened.
Had the two not chased each other, over ninety percent of the human population in the Imperial Capital would have perished!
Mountains of dust were hurled into the sky, obscuring the sun as they floated and swirled, yet at a certain moment, they fell into a freeze frame.
However, the Devil King paid no mind, for at this moment, he was immersed in overwhelming joy.
Finally, he had eliminated this human enemy!
He quickly landed to check, and when he found only a pool of blood at the spot, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Indeed dead! The human powerhouse has fallen at my hands, and the humble ants of humanity shall obediently await their harvest!”
As soon as his voice dropped, he prepared to massacre indiscriminately but suddenly his expression changed.
“What happened… I… I can’t move.”
Cold sweat seeped from the Devil King. This sensation felt oddly familiar.
“Demon, fourteen seconds have passed.”
Suddenly, a hand pressed down on his shoulder from behind—who else but Zhou Tong?
“It’s you! How is this possible!” the Devil King roared.
“I told you we belong to the same type of Dharmakaya. When your time suspension ended, mine paused too, also for nine seconds!”
Hearing this, the Devil King felt fear for the first time.
“Unfortunately, for the next four seconds, you will be unable to move, and…”
Zhou Tong said slowly: “I don’t need even a second to eliminate you!”
