The Eight-Eyed King’s concealment ability was indeed terrifying, to the point that even Mo Fan’s divine sense could not capture him.
Yet as a Heaven-Devouring Demon, possessing numerous divine abilities, Mo Fan understood one principle even better.
No divine ability could ever be absolutely perfect. Every single one had flaws.
If sight could not perceive and divine sense could not lock on, then what if he simply covered the entire area with attacks?
As Mo Fan expected, once the whole void had turned into a prison of lightning, the Eight-Eyed King could no longer remain hidden and was forced out by the raging thunder swarm.
Feeling greatly reassured, Mo Fan did not hesitate and immediately deployed his strongest trump card.
The moment the seven-coloured plume appeared, radiant seven-hued light shone brilliantly, carrying the terrifying might of a demon ancestor as it swept through the void.
As soon as the seven-coloured plume emerged, the Eight-Eyed King felt his hair stand on end. He tried to flee, only to discover that an enormous beast had appeared before him at some unknown moment.
It was a gigantic creature resembling a black panther, yet with a single horn on its head, lightning flowing across its body, and radiating the powerful aura of the ancestral realm.
An ancestral-realm cultivator?
The Eight-Eyed King was horrified, but he soon realised that although the opponent’s aura resembled the ancestral realm, the oppressive pressure was not as overwhelming as that of a true demon ancestor.
“No matter what you are, anyone who blocks my path dies!”
The Eight-Eyed King let out a low roar. His body suddenly split open, instantly transforming into an enormous blue-ringed octopus of immense size.
In the next instant, two mountain-like tentacles lashed out, striking the thunder beast heavily on its head.
Yet the thunder beast was merely forced back several steps in the void. Immediately afterwards it roared and bit down on one of the tentacles.
“Ah… what kind of monster are you!!”
The Eight-Eyed King screamed in pain, but his ferocity was aroused. He simply wrapped his tentacles around the thunder beast’s massive frame, attempting to crush it completely with brute force.
“I am the Eight-Eyed King. Within the same realm, few can match my strength. Even ancestral-realm experts, once ensnared by me, can only await death!”
“You dare block my way? Then I will make you die!”
The Eight-Eyed King laughed savagely. His two huge tentacles coiled tighter and tighter while needle-like spikes emerged from the suckers, trying to pierce the thunder beast’s body.
Very quickly, however, his smile froze. No matter how tightly he squeezed, the opponent’s body showed no change at all. Instead, his own tentacles ached painfully, and his needles felt as though they were stabbing into meteoric iron. They could not penetrate in the slightest.
All of this happened in the space of a single thought, so that the seven-hued radiance Mo Fan had unleashed only now arrived.
“Die!”
With Mo Fan’s furious shout, the Eight-Eyed King’s pupils contracted sharply. His remaining six tentacles whipped towards the seven-coloured light at the same time.
Puff puff puff puff…!!
A series of muffled sounds rang out, and all six tentacles were severed instantly.
“Octopus tentacles, now those are good stuff!”
Watching the six mountain-sized tentacles fall from the sky, the little demons of Black Wind Mountain instantly went mad with excitement.
Not only the little demons, even the demon kings who had come to offer congratulations felt tempted, though they ultimately suppressed the urge, fearing they would offend both the Eight-Eyed King and the Dragon Queen of the Sea.
In the end, the little demons of Black Wind Mountain reaped the benefits.
Still, looking at those mountain-like tentacles, the little demons felt a flicker of panic. Only now did they realise something.
These tentacles are bloody enormous. When they drop, won’t they squash us flat?
At that moment, a white figure shot into the sky, swinging a huge scythe. In a few swift strokes, the six gigantic tentacles were sliced into countless chunks of octopus meat that filled the heavens.
“It’s Lord Black冥 who acted!”
“Fantastic! Now we get to feast!”
“Children, today this king treats every demon here to a grand demon-king banquet!”
Up in the sky, Mo Fan could not help grinning at the sight. He then summoned his Life-Death Sword Pellet, sending it weaving silently through the raining octopus meat to suck out all the hidden toxins.
Mo Fan felt this step was very necessary. The Eight-Eyed King’s true form was a blue-ringed octopus, an extremely venomous creature. Even these tentacles contained deadly poison. Mo Fan did not want his little demons to end up flat on their backs just for a bite.
Once Mo Fan had spoken, the little demons of Black Wind Mountain threw caution to the wind. They brought out pots, pans, and basins, eagerly waiting to catch the meat falling from the sky.
Many demon kings watched with strange expressions.
The demon-king battle raged overhead, while down below the little demons sat on the ground, set up pots, and lit fires, waiting for demon-king meat to drop straight into their cookware.
Some too lazy to cook simply flew up, grabbed chunks of demon-king flesh, and started gnawing raw, howling with excitement.
The battle in the sky continued.
To Mo Fan’s surprise, his strike had not killed the Eight-Eyed King outright, only slicing him in half.
Yet the instant the Eight-Eyed King was bisected, a huge amount of inky fluid burst forth, instantly enveloping both severed halves.
Mo Fan swept his divine sense over it and discovered, to his shock, that the fellow was not dead. On the contrary, an intense surge of vitality erupted.
“I am the Eight-Eyed King! I possess an immortal body. No one can slay me!”
“Even if you wield the power of a demon ancestor, you can never kill me!”
The Eight-Eyed King’s savage laughter emerged from within the inky fluid. Then all the ink rapidly contracted, and the Eight-Eyed King reappeared in Mo Fan’s sight.
The body that had been split in two had miraculously healed, and every severed tentacle had regrown.
“This fellow really is hard to deal with!”
Mo Fan frowned, preparing to swing the seven-coloured plume a second time, but he suddenly felt something wrong. His head grew terribly dizzy, and in that instant his entire body plummeted from the sky.
“Great King!!”
The little demons of Black Wind Mountain panicked at the sight.
Even great demons such as Bai Yaoyao and Granny Sparrow frowned deeply, unable to understand what had happened.
“Hahahaha… it finally took effect, did it?”
Seeing this, the Eight-Eyed King burst into loud laughter and extended two tentacles to coil around Mo Fan’s falling body.
“You will not harm our Great King!”
Black Cloth shot upward, swinging his scythe towards the tentacles.
“Scram!”
The Eight-Eyed King snorted coldly. One tentacle instantly turned into a gigantic whip and sent Black Cloth flying with a single lash.
Hum!
At that moment, a great seal appeared in the sky, radiating the aura of an ancestral demon sacred weapon.
Bai Yaoyao had acted. She could not possibly watch Mo Fan be captured.
“What, are all you phoenix cry mountain demons such sore losers?”
High in the heavens, the hitherto silent Black Horn Demon Ancestor finally moved, flicking his hand and sending the incoming Water God Seal flying.
He then formed a heaven-supporting giant hand of demonic power and reached for the Water God Seal.
“Hmph!”
At the critical moment, Granny Sparrow gave a cold snort. Seven-coloured radiance soared from Black Wind Mountain, likewise forming a giant hand that slapped towards the Black Horn Demon Ancestor.
Boom!
The next instant, the two giant hands collided in the sky. Terrifying auras exploded, then cancelled each other out and dispersed into the void.
“Old Ancestor Bai Lu, I will hold this fellow back. You rescue Lai Bao for me!”
Granny Sparrow spoke, then soared upward, standing opposite the Black Horn Demon Ancestor, her gaze icy.
“Do you truly intend to bully me with numbers?”
The Black Horn Demon Ancestor narrowed his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness and reluctance within them.
He knew full well that if both demon ancestors attacked together, he would have no choice but to retreat.
“So what if I do bully you!”
Granny Sparrow replied indifferently, lightly tapping her staff against the void.
Boom!
The entire void rippled endlessly. Seven-coloured radiance steamed upward, as though transforming this expanse of sky into a world of seven hues.
