Come Kill Me
Niu Dingtian sat on his throne, looking at the dense crowd. He knew that 99 percent of them wanted to kill him, but he was the one who had instigated it. A smooth road is hard to reach the top of the mountain. Without the courage to fight against the world, how can one surpass everyone and everything and stand at the very top of the world?
"My lord, those clowns have begun their attack on this side." A scout from the Demon King Army ran in and said. Although he called them clowns, his pale face revealed the formidable power of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
"Really? Let's go take a look." Niu Dingtian smiled excitedly and stepped down from the throne. He had eaten quite a bit and was now about six or seven meters tall. As he stood up, his muscles twitched, making a cracking sound, and his body shrank to about two meters. Due to this extreme compression, some black patterns appeared on his body.
The originally large black robe on his body transformed into a layer of black aura and shrank again. Only after completing this did Niu Dingtian walk outside. Otherwise, with his previous body, that door would still be too small.
Walking through the passageway to the flat area in front of the academy, looking down at the mountain, which was already a dark mass of people, Niu Dingtian grinned and twisted his body. "Quite a few people have come. Looks like we're in for a big meal."
Niu Dingtian then Excitation his profound energy, drawing a large circle around himself. Turning around to look at the Demon King Army, Niu Dingtian said with a smile, "Those who want to kill me, stay inside this circle. Those who don't, then hurry up and push away."
"Listen up, whether you seek revenge, fame, or to gain my power and become the new Demon King, come on! Only by entering this circle will you be qualified."
A terrifying aura was released directly, and amplified by the Gap Method, the power of this aura pressed down on the road leading up the mountain. Some of those who were not strong enough were directly pressed to the ground and fainted. Moreover, the closer Niu Dingtian, the greater the pressure they experienced.
There were simply too many small fry. If they didn't even have the ability to get into this circle, then even if Niu Dingtian stood here and they unleashed their strongest attacks, they might not be able to break through their defenses. Niu Dingtian was too lazy to bother with these small fry.
"Damn it, can mere aura have such an amazing effect?" A Heavenly Rank expert sensed Niu Dingtian's aura with a solemn expression. Along the way, Niu Dingtian had absorbed countless beings. If placed in the Starshine World, he would probably be a human-shaped Star Calamity.
The aura originates from existence, and through the existence Gap Method, these auras become even more terrifying. Those with Xuan-grade strength will faint halfway up the mountain, and even those with Di-grade strength will find it difficult to reach the summit if they are not strong enough.
Some self-aware individuals quickly descended the mountain to watch the battle from a distance, secretly hoping that both groups would suffer heavy losses. Nevertheless, quite a few people still managed to climb Great Cloud Mountain and enter the inner circle.
Niu Dingtian glanced at the people on both sides. Many of the Demon King Army behind him had also chosen to stay. So he grinned, Excitation his Xuan power, and a black beam of light shot into the sky before crashing down, enveloping the circle he had drawn earlier.
"I presume you already have relevant information about this Shadow Firmament? Then come on, kill me, or be killed by me!" Niu Dingtian said calmly. During this time, he had consumed countless people with special physiques, and by combining these physiques, his Divine-Demon Body had already achieved minor completion.
As soon as Niu Dingtian finished speaking, all sorts of attacks were unleashed at him. Multicolored attacks, fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, poison smoke, arrows, and hidden weapons all came at Niu Dingtian. This wave of attacks would have instantly blasted any Heavenly Rank expert into dust.
However, seeing the combined attacks, Niu Dingtian suddenly punched one of them, causing a violent explosion. Then, the explosion disappeared abnormally, and Niu Dingtian appeared before everyone, covered in wounds. All the scattered energy was absorbed by Niu Dingtian, and his wounds were instantly healed after absorbing the energy.
"That won't work. Most of these ranged attacks are energy attacks, but the will contained within them is not strong enough for me. They're all mixed together, and the wills within them are not unified and are in conflict with each other. In that case, these energies can be easily broken by me and can only become my resources. So it's better not to use this kind of attack; it's just a waste of my profound energy."
Niu Dingtian twisted his body and walked towards those people, continuing, "My Divine-Demon Body has reached a minor completion stage, making me immune to most curses and physical attacks of insufficient strength. Therefore, if you want to kill me, you must find my weakness."
"My Divine-Demon Body is not yet fully formed, so it still has three weaknesses. As long as these three weaknesses are broken, my Divine-Demon Body can be destroyed. Otherwise, you basically cannot kill me. My current true size is six or seven meters. I compressed my muscles and bones to become this size, and those three weaknesses were squeezed into my body."
"So if you want to kill me, you'll have to force me to use my full strength first!" Niu Dingtian laughed wildly and charged at someone.
"Damn bastard, how dare you be so arrogant? Are you teaching us how to kill you?" A Heavenly Rank expert's face turned ashen. He drew an iron sword, the blade coated with a layer of crimson energy, and leaped towards Niu Dingtian.
The other powerful figures also used their own methods to attack Niu Dingtian directly. These powerful figures were all well-known and had extremely rich combat experience. They also had a variety of methods, some of which even made Niu Dingtian feel troubled.
With the assistance of those Earth-Rank experts, all of whom were quite skilled and possessed one or two renowned techniques, Niu Dingtian faced immense pressure while simultaneously confronting them. He had to endure many attacks head-on, relying solely on his physical strength. Had it not been for his Divine-Demon Body, he would likely have been killed long ago. However, it was precisely because of this that Niu Dingtian was even happier.
The red-hot iron sword sliced through Niu Dingtian's body. The sword was extremely hot, emitting a pungent aroma of roasting meat. Niu Dingtian's muscles twitched, clamping the sword between them. The scorching sword was thus trapped inside Niu Dingtian's body, releasing its heat relentlessly.
"It smells so good, I'm really craving teppanyaki." Niu Dingtian chuckled, ignoring the other attacks, and his huge fist, carrying immense power, struck directly at the Heavenly Rank expert. The expert tried to pull his iron sword but found it wouldn't budge, so he had no choice but to let go and abandon the sword.
Niu Dingtian grinned, relaxed his muscles, and took the iron sword down. That part of his body was almost cooked by the iron sword, so Niu Dingtian used the iron sword to dig out that piece of flesh and threw it on the ground. Only then did the wound on his chest begin to heal.
