Chapter 527 - Faith Territory
Chapter 527: Faith Territory
As soon as Chen Rui said this, although the surrounding people didn’t say anything as they were well-trained, their eyes showed mockery in unison.
This person is already a meat on the chopping board, yet he still dares to brag shamelessly!
Those who were present here were Sicali’s most elite fearless warriors with special magic patterns. They were good at offense and defense. They could even hold or even restrain a Demon Overlord, let alone this guy in front of them was just a Demon Emperor. As the master, Sicali, said, originally he wanted to catch a big fish, but a small shrimp came. Moreover, it was a reckless and ignorant shrimp.
If it was a dense forest or wilderness, this shrimp might escape by chance, but in this kind of almost sealed hall, there was only a dead end. Perhaps even the master didn’t have to do it himself!
In this hall with no escape route, Chen Rui was facing at least thousands of fierce enemies alone. They were not average people, but the true strength accumulated by Sicali over the years. Not only that, there was a mysterious enemy behind them who was glaring at him with hostility.
Although the situation was not favorable, Chen Rui’s surging fighting will and killing intent had not diminished. Instead, it had become more turbulent. His breath quickly soared.
“Dead or alive,” Sicali said flatly, still sitting cross-legged. He didn’t intend to act personally.
The heavy shield warriors erected the huge shield in their hands, and the magic mark on the shield began to flash with a pale yellow light as if united into an indestructible whole. The fearless warriors had strong self-confidence. Even if the Demon Emperor in front of them was a powerhouse in the peak stage realm, he couldn’t defeat this defensive formation even with a full blow.
What about Demon Overlord? Could Demon Overlord do it?
Waves of strong magic were undulating in the magician team. The flames of various colors began to shine.
However, these flames were covered by a kind of light. The star-like brilliance did not seem to belong to the originally ugly and dark underground, but since it appeared, the darkness in every corner would vanish in a split second.
Chen Rui used the [Royal Star Transformation] immediately, not only because of his attention to the enemy, but also because of his murderous intentions. The mounted bandits impersonated by these fearless warriors committed innumerable crimes in Town Massimo back then. They set fire, killed, raped and committed all kinds of evil. They used extremely cruel methods. Neither the elderly nor the children were spared. The fact that every mounted bandits had a wine vessel made of a child’s head shocked the entire White Feather Estate.
The disaster of mounted bandits abruptly reduced the population of hundreds of thousands of a large and prosperous town by two-thirds. Even though the survivors moved to the new town, they still suffered a huge setback. Town Massimo would not be able to regain its prosperity within 100 years.
All this was just Sicali’s “suspicion” in order to conceal a certain secret. It was not known how many innocent people had died. Just now Sicali also personally admitted that such a tragedy was not limited to Town Massimo in the White Feather Estate!
This glorious lord who was dedicated to the residents in the hearts of all the residents actually had a true face that was even more hideous and ugly than the most ferocious demon!
Facing the demon and minions in front, Chen Rui had only 1 word in his heart: Kill!
Hundreds of powerful magic rushed toward the dazzling light cluster in the center. The magician was the strongest damage output unit in the war. The lowest strength of these magicians was the Demon King, and the highest was the Great Demon King. Generally speaking, there was no threat to the Demon Emperor powerhouse individually, but if it was 20 Great Demon King magicians, even the Demon Emperor powerhouse couldn’t ignore it. Currently, there were 200 magicians with strength above the Demon King level in front of him. 80 of them were at the Great Demon King level, and all of them were well-trained, cooperative, and protected by the super defensive formation of the great shield warriors. Their combat power could only be described as terrifying.
When such a powerful magic combination landed on the bright starlight, it actually only made the light cluster tremble slightly; it was unable to penetrate through. The light cluster suddenly expanded, and all the magic bombardment was bounced away. The figure of a man in a strange armor appeared in the center.
There was a faint star light flowing on the noble and elegant armor. There seemed to be a flash of splendid dazzling under the serene starlight. Although the man was standing there without moving, there was a pride of looking down on the starry sky.
Compared with this kind of inborn pride, Sicali’s previous expression was like a shameless Dong Shi [1].
Sicali was shocked. He stood up abruptly and blurted out, “[Armor of Faith]!”
The fearless warriors were well-trained. Their shock only lasted for a moment. The armored men still held their huge shields, and the magicians quickly began to prepare for the second round of magic bombardment. Suddenly, everyone felt their bodies sank a little. Their weight had increased several times, and the internal organs and blood increased their load several times out of thin air. The magic power charged by the magicians disappeared immediately. They quickly changed the magic power and spirit power to protect themselves. The worst was the armored men. In this gravity field, the armors and shields with super defensive power had become fatal burdens. Every one of them were stumbling and couldn’t move. Some were even seriously injured by the shields and armors.
[Gravity]!
Chen Rui’s [Gravity] was blessed by the elements of Earth Elemental King Moore which was equivalent to a kind of talent power. Unfortunately, he was not familiar with magic, and the activated [Gravity] was not as powerful as the Demon Emperor powerhouse. The S+ level spirit power could be described as a pearl covered with dust. If it was Zola activating it, then even if the level of these people in front of him was high, there would be a lot of deaths and injuries.
The hall suddenly lit up brightly, and the space seemed to have increased several times. Those pillars began to become transparent, and a strange force poured out. The effect of [Gravity] was quickly offset by this force. The source of power was Sicali. The breath that emerged from his body made Chen Rui feel familiar. It is faith power!
It turns out that the “Wheel of Hera” is not the pillars, but the entire hall!
Although the disordered soldiers were unable to regain their defensive formation immediately, the 2 Demon Emperor leaders who were the least affected by the gravity had jointly activated their territory power to block in front of the magician team to form a powerful protective barrier. The magician behind began to charge an attack again.
If it was before the [Royal Star Transformation], the 2 Demon Emperors would have already rushed up, but the aura that Chen Rui radiated after the [Royal Star Transformation] had already made the 2 Demon Emperors instinctively felt deterred. Therefore, their first reaction was to protect the magicians. As long as these magicians used their mystic arts to launch the strongest combo attack, even if the opponent had reached Demon Overlord, he would not dare to underestimate it. As long as magic restrained this enemy, they could take advantage of the situation to launch an effective attack. At least, they could divert the opponent’s attention to create opportunities for the master.
When Chen Rui saw this situation, he knew how to react. A mask suddenly appeared on his face. This mask was very thin, almost equivalent to skin, and it could not be seen outside under the cover of the visor.
“Devour!”
In an instant, all the magic power and spirit power near the hall surged to Chen Rui like a tide. To be precise, they surged to the mask. They were almost completely emptied in the blink of an eye. The attack charged by the magicians seemed like an inflated balloon that collapsed in an instant. 1 of the 2 Demon Emperor leaders was proficient in magic. The originally joint territory protection was perfect, but under the impact of this terrifying devouring power, it was instantly disintegrated.
Sicali, who had been waiting for an opportunity to take action, was shocked again. This devour is equivalent to the nemesis of the magic. Is it the talent of the nemesis of the Lucifer Royal Family?
No! I’m afraid the devour of this intensity cannot be achieved by ordinary talents!
While he was distracted, Chen Rui’s figure instantly crossed the collapsed defensive territory and appeared in the position where the fearless warriors had gathered the most. The fearless warriors immediately felt the surrounding environment changed as if they were in the stars. Besides, their own strength began to deteriorate and decay rapidly.
Then came a loud shout, “[True Destructive Aura Blow]!”
In a large circle of fearless warriors nearby, a fast-changing half-moon light appeared in the same place. This fast-moving half-moon was like the dance of the Death. Under this dance, the life and soul were cut and split. Even the warriors who were wearing heavy armor could not block such destructive sword qi that penetrated deep into the soul. On the surface, the armor was only twisted and shattered, and there was no fatal injury in the body. In fact, their souls had been completely wiped out by this blow. The magicians who had lost their magic powers turned into countless pieces without any resistance.
In an instant, there were at least hundreds of dead men killed within a range of 60 meters nearby. The Demon Emperor, who was proficient in magic, was severely injured and dying while another Demon Emperor was also seriously injured. The fearless warriors were all shocked. They originally thought that with this lineup, it would at least obstruct the opponent. They didn’t expect that it was actually so vulnerable.
Sicali was shocked and furious. From the actual combat’s [Gravity] to territory to this terrifying trump card, this enemy whom I underestimated at the beginning wiped out the more than half of the elite fearless warriors whom I have painstakingly trained in just a short time.
Chen Rui’s murderous intent hadn’t diminished in the slightest. These people were all blood-stained and unforgivable criminals. He doesn’t mind turning into Shura to kill them all.
Sicali’s figure suddenly appeared behind Chen Rui. He punched with the black flames in his hands. Chen Rui had been prepared long ago. He suddenly turned around and launched a punch too.
When the 2 fists containing immense power collided, the fearless warriors nearby were all blown away by the terrifying air wave. The 2 figures in the center of the force field stood still. They were evenly matched.
At the moment the power was cancelled out, Chen Rui and Sicali moved at the same time. The sound of beating continued for a while. The fearless warriors could only hear the sound of offense and defense with the occasional image of the 2. Even the leader of the Demon Emperor level with minor injuries only saw both figures moving quickly, but he could not see the specific actions clearly.
Chen Rui’s body was full of a huge wave-like surging force, and he launched an overlapping force. Sicali had suffered from this kind of force before. With a back flip, he avoided the overlapping punch force. As soon as he landed, he saw a huge dazzling light ball rushing toward him.
Sicali didn’t evade as he parried with both hands. When he touched the [Aurora Shot], his body trembled. He couldn’t help but withdraw 1 step, then 2 steps, 3 steps…
Chen Rui frowned as he could feel the power of [Aurora Shot] rapidly decay under a certain mysterious power. Sicali had already stepped back 6 or 7 steps. He unleashed his power of both hands amidst the loud shout, tearing apart the weakening [Aurora Shot].
“Very good power. It’s almost equal to the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord. Especially the spirit power which is even stronger. You really are a big fish. I made a mistake in my judgment.” Sicali let out a sigh. The slightly cracked red armor on his body began to heal quickly and automatically at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it returned to its original state in the blink of an eye. “You should notice that my true strength is only the early stage of the Demon Overlord, but unfortunately, you still can’t beat me, and you will die in my hands.”
Chen Rui did feel the difference. Sicali’s overall strength was S-. Chen Rui used the [Royal Star Transformation] to kill Nero in the early stage of the Demon Overlord before his power reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor. Now that his strength had reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor, he should be able to compete with the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord, but he could only be in a stalemate with Sicali in the previous confrontation.
“Because… Wheel of Hera?” Chen Rui asked tentatively.
“Yes! My territory has been integrated with the Wheel of Hera.” Sicali gave a strange smile. “The armor on my body is also the [Armor of Faith]. Unless you can cut off the source of faith, kill all the White Feather Estate residents who have faith in me, otherwise, under the protection of faith power, my power and life will be endless. From the moment you step into this hall which is the [Wheel of Hera Territory], you are already destined to be defeated. Even if you want to escape, you can’t do it.”
Chen Rui felt that what Sicali said was not an exaggeration. The [Wheel of Hera Territory] was a bit similar to the Super System. Generally speaking, Sicali was almost invincible here unless there was a decisive force that overwhelmed the entire territory.
“A Demon Overlord with [Armor of Faith]. An ideal sacrifice item! I believe the master will be very happy!” Sicali’s stern voice echoed in the hall, “My fearless warriors, give me your vitality power!”
The bodies of all the fearless warriors in the [Wheel of Hera Territory] quickly began to shrivel and wither, becoming lifeless corpses.
“Activate! [Shackles of Sacrifice]!”
Just as Chen Rui was suspicious of the “master” that Sicali mentioned, his body suddenly felt stagnant like he was bound by countless chains. He actually couldn’t get rid of it.
This kind of chain contained a strange force. It was actually quickly draining Chen Rui’s soul and vitality. Chen Rui’s body trembled.
“I had already set the shackles when I was fighting with you just now. Plus the sacrifice of the lives of the fearless warriors, there is no way to break free with your strength! Tremble! Fear!” Sicali laughed smugly.
At this time, Chen Rui’s armor began to change from a dazzling luster to a black color that exuded destructive breath. The style also looked hideous.
“You’re wrong! This guy’s trembling is not because of fear, but because he can’t suppress my will.” A gloomy laugh came out, “Very good! So much faith power! It’s worth the cost of burning a lot of will! With these powers, I can truly…”
Before Chen Rui finished speaking, he, who was bound by the [Shackles of Sacrifice], suddenly disappeared. A huge black hole faintly glowing with maroon appeared in the [Wheel of Hera Territory].
Sicali was horrified to find that not only was he unable to drain the enemy’s power, but all his power, including his faith power, rushed toward the black hole uncontrollably.

Master again? Is this Sicali still not the real ‘Sicali’? Or there is a Demi-God behind Sicali? If Shura continued to absorb more power, then….
