Three Kings Flee in Defeat, Tang Chen Receives Divine Favor

Just as Yu Yuanchen completely refined the Hell Gate and the artifact changed hands, three Demon King, far away in the depths of three other vast territories in the Demon Plane, almost simultaneously sensed something!

In the three Demon King's Court — the Lake of Decay, the Eternal Dark Mire, and the Wailing Canyon —three terrifying beings, each with a different form but all possessing an aura at the Demigod level, suddenly awoke from their thrones!

They sensed that the artifact "Hell Gate," which was closely connected to the Plane Origin and symbolized the invasion and plunder of authority, had its imprint of consciousness left by Salvos and themselves forcibly erased and covered by an incomparably domineering force in an instant! The artifact had changed hands!

"What happened?!"

"The connection to the Hell Gate... is severed!"

"Who is it? Salvos? Does it want to monopolize the artifact?!"

In an instant, the three Demon King had the same thought flash through their minds— Salvos has gone mad! He actually wants to fight against all three of them by himself and take over the Hell Gate all by himself!

But the next moment, they calmed down and dismissed the absurd idea. Salvos was strong, but it was by no means stupid. It didn't have the guts or the strength to fight three against one.

So, there's only one truth...

"Salvos... crashed?!"

"Invasion failed, base destroyed, even artifact lost?!"

"It's that invaded dimension... launching a counterattack?!"

Having grasped this, the three Demon King were both shocked and enraged! They were shocked that Salvos, a man of considerable strength, had been defeated so utterly, unable even to protect his divine artifact! They were enraged that such a lowly being dared to launch a counterattack against the Demon Plane, snatching food from the tiger's mouth!

More importantly, the loss of the Hell Gate is an unbearable blow to them! While the Demon Plane is naturally able to connect to other dimensions, this is based on the existence of the Hell Gate, a primordial artifact, for precise location and a stable passage. Without it, the difficulty of invading other rich dimensions will increase exponentially, and the time required will likely increase a hundredfold! This means that their shortcut to plundering resources and increasing their strength has been almost completely severed!

"We must retrieve the divine artifact!"

The three Demon King made their decision almost simultaneously. They immediately began mobilizing their most elite high-ranking Demon Legion — the Great Demon Knight, the Azure Flame Demon, the Fallen Angel, and various powerful mutated demons—to gather their strength and march on the Scorching Purgatory of Salvos to reclaim the Hell Gate!

Meanwhile, they also attempted to communicate with the other kings through the special communication method between the Demon King, discussing a joint attack against the enemy. However, when their thoughts tried to contact the strongest, Adost, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, receiving no response whatsoever!

An ominous premonition gripped their hearts. They immediately dispatched their trusted confidants to gather information in the "Amethyst Imperial Domain" ruled by Adost. The news they received plunged the three Demon King into Ice Cave: Adost had been forcibly teleported away a day earlier, and his top-tier Great Demon and Fallen Angel leaders all sensed that their emperor... had fallen!

"Adost... is dead?!"

"How is this possible?! It possesses royal blood and Peak Demigod!"

"Killing Salvos is understandable... but even Adost..."

Panic spread like a plague through the hearts of the three kings. Just how terrifying must the being capable of killing Adost be? In a one-on-one fight, none of the three of them could possibly be its match!

Driven by extreme fear and greed (greed for the artifact), the three Demon King, after incidentally dividing up the territory and power left behind by Adost, made a seemingly wise but actually helpless decision: to immediately lead their most elite forces to meet at the "Bone Plain" on the edge of the Scorching Purgatory! Only by joining forces could they hope to fight against the unknown powerful enemy and reclaim the artifact!

As for whether the enemy had already escaped with the artifact... at this moment, the three Demon King felt an extremely contradictory and shameful expectation: perhaps... they had already left? If they could achieve victory without bloodshed, and then secretly find a way to reconnect with the artifact and summon it back after the enemy left (they were unaware that the artifact had been completely refined), it seemed... not bad at all?

After all, even if the three of them joined forces to win against a terrifying being capable of killing Adost, they would inevitably pay a heavy price, and there was even a possibility that a king might fall! They didn't want to die!

Unfortunately, fate did not grant the demon's wish.

Just as the three demon armies had completed their convergence on the Bone Plain, a vast, dark Demon Legion stretched as far as the eye could see, their Demonic Energy surging to the heavens. The three Demon King were tensely discussing their advance route—

On the distant horizon, a dazzling Purple-Gold Lightning, like a sharp sword tearing through the dark red sky, hurtled towards them! Behind the lightning bolt were hundreds of powerful human Soul Master!

Yu Yuanchen, leading the human Coalition Army, has taken the initiative to come to our door!

After refining the Hell Gate, he easily located the three most powerful Demonic Energy gathered together, thanks to the artifact's ability to sense the Demon Plane. Rather than waiting for them to come to him, he decided to take the initiative and strike once and for all!

"They... they didn't leave!"

"They actually came to attack on their own initiative!"

"How dare you!"

The three Demon King were both shocked and furious, but there was no turning back now!

"All troops, listen to my command! Slaughter these human ants and reclaim the sacred relic!" Shadow Demon King Demogorgon, the master of the Eternal Dark Mire and a master of curses and mental attacks, Mental Roar sharply.

"For the glory of the demons! Kill!" Baroque, the ruler of Wailing Canyon, known for his ferocious melee combat and nicknamed "Destruction Demon King," wielded his massive Chain Hammer and roared with earth-shattering fury.

"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!" The last one, Anat, the "Plague Demon King" from the Lake of Decay who commanded undead and poisonous creatures, calmly directed his undead Demon Legion.

A great battle erupted instantly!

On the Bone Plain, over three hundred elite humans faced off against a combined demon Coalition Army of tens of thousands! While their numbers were vastly different, the humans held a slight advantage in quality.

"Form battle formation! Support Soul Master, unleash your full power!" Yu Boxuan commanded from the front lines, and the Coalition Army quickly formed a tight defensive counterattack formation. The light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda enveloped the entire army, and Ning Zhiyuan Zhiyuan's expression was solemn as he pushed the amplification effect to its limit.

"You demon bastards, prepare to die!" Tang Gan took the lead, his Clear Sky Hammer transforming into a mountain. With a single "Shock Character Art, he smashed dozens of demons in front of him into a bloody pulp!

"Savage Sword Sweep!" Azure Peak Douluo Man-Sword Unity, the sword light like a dragon, and wherever it passed, demons fell one after another.

Feng Zaiyun, Dai Jingxuan, Shi Feng, and other Titled Douluo displayed their supernatural abilities, like tigers among sheep, frantically reaping the Life of the demons.

The most intense and crucial battle of the battlefield unfolded instantly in the sky!

Yu Yuanchen faced off against the three Demon King alone!

The Shadow Demon King Demogorgon transformed into countless twisted shadows, emitting invisible mental shrieks as he attempted to corrupt Yu Yuanchen's soul; the Destruction Demon King Baroque was like a raging chariot, his Chain Hammer causing space to collapse with terrifying power; while the Plague Demon King Anate released a sky-covering cloud of poison and an army of the undead from afar, harassing and wearing down Yu Yuanchen from a distance!

The three Demigod Level Demon King joined forces, their power earth-shattering! Three completely different evil laws—shadow, Destruction, and plague—intertwined, forming a domain of death!

However, Yu Yuanchen remained calm despite being in the midst of it all. His Purple-Gold Thunder Battle Armor shone brightly, keeping out all mental attacks, evil curses, and deadly plagues. He wielded the Thunder Dragon Spear, thrusting and sweeping, unleashing the raging Thunder Prison, and unleashing the Annihilation Divine Thunder, deflecting the attacks of the three Demon King one by one.

He fought three against one, yet he was not at a disadvantage at all! In fact, he even had a slight advantage! His speed was faster, his power was more concentrated, and his understanding of the laws was deeper! The Thunder Power Extreme Yang and Extreme Hardness, and it has a natural restraint on evil attributes!

However, the three Demon King were not weaklings. They cooperated seamlessly and each had their own strengths. Demogorgon's eerie mental attacks provided restraint, Baroque's berserk power was the main offensive, and Anat's long-range harassment and summoned creature attrition prevented Yu Yuanchen from quickly defeating any of them. The battle was temporarily at a stalemate. Although Yu Yuanchen was strong, he would have to pay a considerable price to quickly defeat the three Demigod working together. He was looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

With Yu Yuanchen entangled with the three Demon King, Qian Chongxiao, another top combatant on the human side, was freed up!

"Evil, die!" Qian Chongxiao, wielding the Angel Sacred Sword, transformed into a golden streak of light and charged into the demon army! He specifically targeted the powerful Titled Douluo- level Great Demon, the Azure Flame Demon, and the detestable Fallen Angel! Indeed, the reason the Titled Douluo were able to attack lower-level demons was because most of the demons with Titled Douluo strength were stopped by Qian Chongxiao alone with his sword. He might lack stamina in high-level battles, but surely he could maintain it when crushing weaker opponents?

The Angel Sacred Sword is extremely effective against demons! Wherever the sword light passes, demons melt away like snow meeting the sun! Even the most powerful Great Demon can barely withstand three sword strikes from him! His presence greatly relieved the pressure on the Coalition Army ' Titled Douluo and rapidly reduced the high-level combat power of the Demon Legion.

"That was exhilarating!" Qian Daoliu's six wings unfurled, Holy Light Illumination, specifically designed to Purification those troublesome undead demons and poisons with extremely high efficiency. In the midst of the fierce battle, the Angel Mark between his brows suddenly burned, and a message entered his mind— Divine Examination Fourth Trial [Glory Shall Not Be Profaned (Part 1)] Completed! Rewards Issued! He felt his affinity with the Angel God Position position greatly increase, and his strength subtly improved!

"Hahaha! Again!" Tang Chen was even more excited about the fight! The Clear Sky Hammer seemed to come Life in his hands, no longer just a simple bombardment of power, but containing a unique rhythm and Artistic Conception. He seemed to have entered a mysterious state of enlightenment. With each swing of the hammer, the power was concentrated to the extreme, without the slightest waste. The trajectory was profound, as if it were in harmony with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth! A kind of "skill approaching the Tao" charm spread from him.

He didn't use any powerful Soul Skill, just the simplest chopping, smashing, sweeping, and shaking techniques, but the power was astonishing. Often, with a single blow, several powerful demons would have their bones shattered and fall to the ground dead! He was immersed in this realization of the ultimate control over power, and became more and more courageous in battle.

Far beyond the endless void, in the Divine Realm.

Inside the palace of the God of Destruction, a massive water mirror reflects the battle on the Bone Plain in the Demon Plane.

The God of Destruction, seated on his Divine Throne, cast a gaze filled with boundless Destruction intent that pierced through layers of space and landed on Tang Chen, who was fighting a bloody battle.

"Oh? This little fellow..." A slight smile of surprise appeared on the majestic face of the God of Destruction. "His understanding of power has already touched the edge of the 'Dao'? Pure-minded and naturally gifted in battle, he's a promising talent."

He nodded slightly. "If this were an ordinary era, with this young man's temperament and talent, it wouldn't be impossible for him to create a Second-level Deity that emphasizes strength and combat, or even to touch the threshold of First-level God. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time..."

His gaze seemed to glance at Yu Yuanchen, who was engaged in fierce battle with the three kings, then swept over Qian Daoliu, whose divine light shone brightly. He gently shook his head. "This generation is blessed with extraordinary talent, and there are more than just one person of exceptional brilliance. With an anomaly like Yu Yuanchen, and with the Angel Inheritance, his ambition to use the resources of this realm to overwhelm the world and create First-level God is as difficult as ascending to heaven. It's somewhat of a waste of this unpolished gem..."

The God of Destruction pondered for a moment, a wisp of light containing the Law Origin power flowing from his fingertips. "Perfect timing. The God Position ' God of Strength ' under my command has been vacant for a long time. This God Position governs strength, combat, will, and destruction. It is not only First-level God but also has considerable potential, making it quite suitable for this young man. Very well, I will grant you this opportunity."

With a flick of his finger, the wisp of light instantly traversed endless space and time, silently entering Tang Chen's body, who was in the midst of battle.

Tang Chen, engrossed in the battle, was completely unaware of this. He only felt that his understanding of power was becoming clearer and more thorough, and his hammer swings were more fluid and free, as if he had inexhaustible strength. His condition was unbelievably good! He simply attributed it to a breakthrough in his enlightenment, and his fighting spirit soared even higher, making his hammer techniques even more ferocious!

On the battlefield, after the addition of Qian Chongxiao, a Demigod, to the human Coalition Army, the high-level battles became one-sided. Titled Douluo- level demons were quickly eliminated, greatly boosting the morale of the Coalition Army and enabling them to begin a counterattack against the demon army.

In the battle in the sky, although Yu Yuanchen had not yet achieved a swift victory, he had completely suppressed the three Demon King. Demogorgon's shadow was shattered by lightning, Baroque's Chain Hammer was cracked by the Dragon Spear, and Anat's poisonous cloud was Purification by Holy Light. The three Demon King grew increasingly alarmed and desperate as the battle progressed! This human was too strong! Absurdly strong! If this continued, their defeat was inevitable!

"No! We can't fight anymore!" Demogorgon sent out a sharp telepathic message.

"Retreat! Saving our lives is the most important thing!" Baroque was also terrified.

"Split up and escape!" Anat was the most decisive.

The three Demon King feinted, Demogorgon transformed into thousands of shadows and scattered, Baroque roared and smashed space in an attempt to escape into the turbulent flow, while Anat detonated a large cloud of poison to obscure the view, and his true form quietly retreated!

They're trying to escape!

"Trying to leave?" A cold glint flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes, and his Thunder Domain suddenly expanded, attempting to seal off the space. Although he was strong, it was extremely difficult for him to keep three Demigod who were determined to escape at the same time.

The great battle has entered its most crucial pursuit phase! The rout of the three Demon King marks the complete defeat of the top forces of the Demon Plane! The human Coalition Army' counterattack against the Demon Plane has achieved a decisive victory!
