"I'm fine."
Mingye shook his head and struggled to get Chen Mu to put him down.
Although she was injured, she had acquired the Netherworld Body since cultivating the Netherworld Scripture. In addition, she had also cultivated in the True Body Grotto-Heaven, so her physique was no weaker than Chen Mu's. This attack was not enough to seriously injure her.
Seeing that she was indeed alright, Chen Mu had no choice but to let go of her hand.
At this moment, aided by the Divine Power within him, the Demon Lord descended like a god, charging towards Chen Mu and Mingye with unparalleled force.
Thud! Smack! Smack!
Chen Mu and Mingye joined forces, cooperating seamlessly, and exerted all their strength to barely withstand the demon lord's attack.
"Fortunately, this demon lord only possessed a wisp of Divine Power Divine Power and did not truly understand how to use it, otherwise this time it would have been dangerous."
Chen Mu sighed inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Divine Power power.
So-called divine Divine Power is a power that contains the essence of all things. This power is on a level that completely surpasses Spiritual Power; it can be said to be a power from another dimension.
A battle between a person with Divine Power and a cultivator of Spiritual Power is like a steel weapon clashing with a wooden weapon. No matter how exquisitely crafted the wooden weapon is, it cannot shatter the steel weapon. Although the energy within Chen Mu and Mingye has been sublimated, it is still equivalent to an iron weapon. They would struggle in a battle against a steel weapon, and if they are not careful, they might shatter.
"As expected, only Divine Power can counter Divine Power!"
If he could use the Wentian Divine Spear, Chen Mu could definitely fight against this demon lord. However, without the Wentian Divine Spear's blessing, he would have difficulty even protecting himself with his own strength, let alone defeating his opponent.
"Roar... Awooo!"
Under the Demon Lord's powerful attack, Chen Mu retreated step by step, and the Demon-Slaying Eight Trigrams Formation he controlled gradually showed some flaws. A Saint Level demon roared and charged into the core of the Demon-Slaying Eight Trigrams Formation.
" Chen Mu, you can't betray me, I don't want to die yet."
Zhou Xinle shouted excitedly, casting a series of secret spells. A phantom of a giant black fox appeared above his head, and at the critical moment, he narrowly managed to control the Saint Level demon that had rushed into the center of the formation.
"Hold on, just hold on a little longer!"
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Xinle hadn't betrayed him and run away at the crucial moment, and he quickly spoke up to comfort her.
"You're kidding me! You've been beaten so badly you can barely get up. Why don't we just run away!"
If I use the two Saint Level demons I've controlled to stop him, we still have a chance to escape.
Under Chen Mu's protective array, Zhou Xinle had now controlled more than four thousand demons to assist in the defense. It was because of her presence that Chen Mu had a chance to catch his breath; otherwise, his Demon-Slaying Eight Trigrams Formation would have been broken long ago.
"Give me a little more time, trust me!"
Just as the Demon Lord and Chen Mu were locked in fierce combat, inside the Demon Castle...
A figure emerged from the void, revealing its appearance; it was Chen Mu's substitute puppet, the Talisman-Robed Chen Mu.
"How come there isn't a single Saint Level demon? It seems I overestimated the intelligence of the demon lords."
Talisman-Robed Chen Mu was all prepared for a great battle, but he found that the entire demon castle was not filled with any experts. There were only tens of thousands of ordinary demons scattered in the shadows, obviously guarding against enemy sneak attacks.
These ordinary demons have limited perception and cannot detect that Talisman-Robed Chen Mu has used Invisibility Talisman, has entered the central hall of the castle.
When Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, saw the lava pool in the central hall, he was surprised to find that he hadn't encountered a single defending Saint Level demon.
"It's better if there's no obstruction; then I won't stand on ceremony."
Chen Mu was unaware that in the demon world, there was a strict hierarchy. Only the demon lord was allowed to enter the great hall containing the lava pool, while other Saint Level demons were not permitted to enter, otherwise it would be seen as a challenge to the demon lord's authority.
Therefore, once the demon lord leaves the hall, it will be undefended.
Normally, there should be Saint Level demons patrolling outside the central hall, but Chen Mu's Demon Spirit Missile were too powerful, and those Saint Level demons were unwilling to stay and defend, which gave him an opportunity.
Without wasting any time, Talisman-Robed Chen Mu took out dozens of blood-red crystals from his sleeve and evenly distributed them around the lava pool.
"Whether we can turn this around or not depends entirely on you guys, so get ready to fight!"
After finishing speaking, Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, formed a hand seal to activate the Demon Spirit Blood Crystal Bomb. Then, his body transformed into a streak of light and swiftly rushed out of the central hall.
"Aww~~!"
A demon discovered the whereabouts of Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, let out a long howl, and summoned dozens of winged demons to soar into the sky and hunt down Talisman-Robed Chen Mu.
"Haha, you all love destruction so much, then taste what it's like to be destroyed!"
Amidst the laughter of Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, a deafening explosion rocked the central hall of the Demon Castle, sending the shockwave blasting away dozens of demons that were chasing him.
Just as Talisman-Robed Chen Mu, shattered the magma pool, the demon lord who was fighting Chen Mu's true form also let out a painful howl. His aura suddenly began to decline, and in the end, he went directly from Demigod to an ordinary Saint Level Peak cultivator.
Chen Mu and Talisman-Robed Chen Mu shared the same memories, so how could they let such an opportunity pass? They immediately conjured a Dharma Power spear and pierced the demon lord's chest through it.
"Roar...!"
The demon lord roared in defiance, but his life force eventually faded, and he slowly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
At the very moment the demon lord died, all the demons who had been besieging Chen Mu and his companions lost their will to fight and immediately turned and fled.
Chen Mu simply dismantled the Slaughter-Breaking Eight Trigrams Formation, letting the demons leave.
I have said it before! Those who believe in me will have eternal life.
Having survived the ordeal, even Chen Mu couldn't help but gloat to Zhou Xinle, tilting his head back with an arrogant air.
"Alright, I know you're amazing."
Zhou Xinle pursed her lips, too lazy to pay any attention to Chen Mu.
"Strange, shouldn't we have completed the Cave Heaven Trial? Why hasn't the pillar of light descended yet?"
Mingye then noticed something was wrong and turned to look at Chen Mu Mudao.
After a moment's thought, Chen Mu guessed, "It should be related to the lava pool inside the Demon Castle. Let's go! Let's go inside the Demon Castle and take a look."
After the three finished their discussion, despite being exhausted, they immediately set off for the center of the demon castle to avoid any unforeseen complications.
