"He's desperate, he's desperate!"
Seeing the attack unleashed by the Husky Demon, the Heavenly Demon Weasel chuckled, no longer choosing to flee. Instead, he raised his right hand and touched the back of his neck.
His slender fingers, perfect and flawless, clenched—
"Clang clang~"
A piercing sound like metal grinding against metal echoed as he drew a dark, ice-cold bone sword from within his body.
The Husky Demon's gaze sharpened.
The Heavenly Demon Weasel's body swayed, seeming to soften as if its spine had been removed. However, the hand holding the sword remained unwavering.
He flipped his wrist, making a flourish. Amidst the trembling of the bone sword, his body vanished from its original spot.
*Puff puff puff~*
Before the black masses released by the Husky Demon could detonate, they were sliced by the tip of an ice-cold, faintly glowing sword. They then exploded violently, erupting in all directions.
"I have to say... this Sword Demon's inheritance is quite useful. One sword breaks all laws, it's unexpectedly powerful... though the consumption is a bit high..."
The Heavenly Demon Weasel tilted his head in surprise, looking at the void energy erupting around him. Then, as if sensing something, he held his sword horizontally across his chest, blocking a sharp black claw that emerged from the void.
Under the terrifying assault of the sharp claw, he was forced back over three hundred meters, his chest pierced by the sharp claw tip, oozing four drops of black blood.
The Husky Demon emerged from the void, coldly stating, "Hand over the Holy Demon Horn, and I'll give you a quick end, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you'll make me wish I were dead?" The Heavenly Demon Weasel sneered, interrupting the Husky Demon's words. He raised his sword-wielding right hand again and shot towards the latter.
"You Heavenly Demons are the most detestable, growing stronger by plundering the talents and divine abilities of other demons. In the end, you don't even know what your own path is. What's the point of having all these divine abilities if they aren't yours!"
The Husky Demon's rough and unrestrained voice resounded across the entire battlefield. It slapped its right claw, deflecting the bone sword thrust by the Heavenly Demon Weasel, and continued indifferently, "The Sword Demon clan earned their great reputation in both the Immortal and Demon realms, striking fear into the hearts of all immortals and demons, by their extreme pursuit of the way of the sword. How can you, a Heavenly Demon who resorts to shortcuts, compare? Die!"
As he spoke, a black, translucent singularity appeared on the Husky Demon's chest, prying open the almost sealed void.
The next moment, a void vortex enveloped the entire battlefield, and a colossal hand that blotted out the sky descended from the heavens.
Amidst the sound of exploding void, all laws were pushed aside. Only the myriad laws of the void embraced each other, instantly reaching the Heavenly Demon Weasel.
"What the hell..."
The Heavenly Demon Weasel looked up at the colossal hand that was almost within reach. He silently re-inserted the bone sword into his spine, as if he had lost the will to resist.
A hint of human-like contempt flickered in the Husky Demon's canine face.
"Boom!"
The strongest attack of the Demon King realm covered the land where this Demon Saint had fallen. Instantly, the ground cracked, and the demonic energy of the entire void boiled.
When the attack ceased and the dust settled, the place where the Heavenly Demon Weasel had stood had become a ruin. At the very center of the ruins, a holy horn emitted a dark luster. Dust that fell above it was automatically repelled by the energy emanating from it.
A greedy glint flashed in the Husky Demon's eyes. It murmured, "This damned crawler, finally dealt with. Now that the Holy Horn has returned to me, breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm is just around the corner."
Its thoughts raced, but its hands were not slow. With a hook of its claws, it intended to draw the Holy Horn into its grasp.
However, strangely, although it could still sense the faint connection between its body and the Holy Horn, the Holy Horn in the center of the ruins remained motionless.
"What's going on? Could it be that the residual soul of the Demon Saint who fell here has revived?" The Husky Demon frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
Its body flickered, appearing beside the Holy Horn. Without a word, it bent down to pick it up. Just then, a sudden change occurred—
"Swish~"
From the shadow beneath the Holy Horn, countless black tentacles suddenly emerged. These tentacles resembled the Shadow Style secret technique of the Nara clan in "Naruto," but their visual impact was countless times more powerful. As soon as they appeared, several tentacles re-wrapped the Holy Horn, while the remaining tentacles shot towards the Husky Demon.
At the same time, dense tentacles began to extend from various dark corners, instantly weaving into a massive black net that covered the Husky Demon.
"You even fused with the bloodline of the Shadow Demon!"
The Husky Demon's body flickered, dodging the attack of the shadow tentacles. Its dog face was filled with ferocity.
At this moment, it truly hated the Husky Demon to the point of grinding its teeth. The Shadow Demon was one of the most powerful demonic races at the Demon rank. Not only did it possess numerous strange shadow divine abilities, but its escape techniques were also the best among demons, allowing it to teleport to almost any dark corner on the battlefield.
"Heh heh, who doesn't have a trump card these days!"
The Heavenly Demon Weasel's body emerged from the shadow beneath a giant rock. Its narrow eyes had now turned an extreme black, like two black holes, looking incredibly eerie.
"Boom!"
The Husky Demon, enraged, unleashed its tentacles. Void laws descended, shredding the giant rock into nothingness. But the next moment, the Heavenly Demon Weasel's voice echoed from another shadow, "Stop wasting your energy, you can't kill me."
The Heavenly Demon Weasel chuckled. The tentacles entwined with the Holy Horn writhed, quickly disappearing into the tentacles formed by the shadows. When they reappeared, they were already hanging at his waist.
"How is this possible? With your talent, how can you fuse with the Shadow Demon bloodline? And how could a Shadow Demon be defeated by a demon like you?"
The Husky Demon's eyes turned red as it launched another attack towards the Heavenly Demon Weasel.
"Honestly, I don't know either, but I have to say... this cheat is too awesome!"
The Heavenly Demon Weasel easily dodged the Husky Demon's attack. While appearing relaxed, his heart was actually very heavy.
Not long ago, the moment the Husky Demon used its void divine ability to bring down the sky-blotting hand, his body underwent a miraculous change. Simultaneously, all the Shadow Demon's divine abilities merged into his mind, making him feel as if he were a natural shadow manipulator.
In addition, he felt as if he had become the darling of the entire demonic rule. Thousands of laws around him sent silent calls, hoping for him to pluck and utilize them. Even the Holy Horn he had broken off from the Husky Demon was no longer as resistant as before, and its refining speed was rapidly increasing.
The Heavenly Demon Weasel could sense that if he completely refined the Holy Horn, he would be able to switch to the Void race again.
"Is some unknown entity plotting against me? Will this change affect my main body?"
The Heavenly Demon Weasel's thoughts raced, but the intuition from his soul's origin did not issue any warning, which somewhat eased his mind.
Thus, for the next half an hour, the Heavenly Demon Weasel used the Shadow Demon's methods to battle the Husky Demon across the entire fallen land of the Demon Saint. As time passed, the Holy Horn he had broken off was rapidly absorbed by his body.
Finally, at a certain moment, when a void vortex reappeared in the sky, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
His originally black eyes turned transparent, pale silver.
"Boom!"
The sky-blotting hand descended from the heavens once more, but this time, it avoided the Heavenly Demon Weasel and struck directly at the Husky Demon.
In the eighth layer of the Demon Abyss, the majestic man who had suppressed the Demon Lord Jianna chuckled softly and disappeared into the consciousness world of Demon Lord Jianna with a wave of his sleeve.
All that remained was a faint whisper: "The talent is a bit lacking, but it's just right."
As the majestic man disappeared, the Demon Lord Jianna, suppressed within the great formation, had her demonic body gradually eroded, transforming into pure demonic origin that dissipated outside the formation, gradually converging into a new body.
The facial features were almost identical to the Heavenly Demon Weasel's main body, Yu Zhibo.
However, his temperament was the complete opposite of Yu Zhibo.
Smoky eyes, black lips, black fingernails... it was as if he were a blackened, evil version of Yu Zhibo.
