Chapter 3790: Death Throes (Fifth Update)
Chapter 3790: Chapter 3790: Death Throes (Fifth Update)
Why did Xuan Han Yu change her mind?
The reason is quite simple.
Because at this moment, even though Ye Chen is already seriously injured and near death, he has not dispelled the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope!
What does this mean?
In Ye Chen’s current state, maintaining the shackles of the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope must be extremely exhausting for him, just like someone whose entire body has suffered multiple fractures and yet has to lift a heavy object weighing five hundred pounds. The pain and difficulty in enduring it are unimaginable!
But!
Ye Chen is still persevering!
He persists to allow her to continue attacking Freedom Heaven!
Since that’s the case, how can Xuan Han Yu let Ye Chen down!
But...
At this moment, Elder Jun’s aura became strong once more, and the Hand Dao Essence swirled like a tornado, causing Lin Rutian to lower his head, his eyes filled with despair...
He knew that no matter how strong Ye Chen was, he couldn’t withstand this strike!
However!
A bizarre scene appeared!
Elder Jun, who had always looked as though he wanted nothing more than to tear Ye Chen apart, didn’t deliver this final strike!
Elder Jun’s blood-red eyes suddenly showed an incomparably greedy expression as he stared straight at Ye Chen, as if Ye Chen was a delectable dish!
Lin Rutian looked at the scene before him in confusion—why was this?
Seeing this, Ye Chen nonchalantly said, "What, are you going to devour me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Rutian’s face revealed a sudden realization!
Right, Elder Jun has already turned into a Witch Demon, and hereafter, to survive, he must devour the vitality of living beings!
And Ye Chen’s vitality is indescribably terrifying, making it an irresistible temptation for Elder Jun!
The more powerful the Witch Demon, the stronger the being’s vitality it needs to devour to maintain its own origins, and in Elder Jun’s case, he at least needs the vitality of an existence in the Qiankun Realm to sustain his life!
Naturally, there is a risk involved in this!
Yet, if he devours Ye Chen’s vitality, he could possibly never need to hunt down any other Qiankun Realm beings again in his lifetime?
It might even allow his Witch Demon body to break its shackles, potentially further advancing his power—it’s not out of the question!
Beings with vitality as strong as Ye Chen’s are rare throughout the Outer Realm, meaning this is almost Elder Jun’s only chance to enhance his strength and change his situation!
Who wouldn’t be tempted?
Even if Ye Chen had the possibility of continuing to fight, Elder Jun might still consider it...
But, what’s most important is, Ye Chen is now utterly injured and has lost the ability to resist, hasn’t he?
Even if the Freedom Heaven is destroyed during the devouring process, what of it?
In their current states, can Ye Chen and Xuan Han Yu have a chance to kill him?
No!
Absolutely not!
So, what’s there to fear?
As long as he devours Ye Chen’s vitality, destroying even ten Freedom Heavens is worth it!
Freedom Heaven can be rebuilt, but a being like Ye Chen, whose vitality and Life Origin are so formidable, can hardly be found across the entire Outer Realm!
Instantly, Elder Jun revealed a twisted smile and said, "So what if I am? Kid, cornered as you are, you’re still pretending to be calm in front of me?"
In the next moment, Elder Jun moved swiftly, appearing before Ye Chen in an instant, placing a palm rapidly on the top of Ye Chen’s head. An unusual aura emanated from Elder Jun, his blood-red eyes glowed brightly, and black runes surged from his palm, emitting a potent attraction!
The formidable vitality contained within Ye Chen’s bloodline indeed flowed towards Elder Jun’s palm!
Elder Jun’s body trembled, and his bloodshot eyes showed immense joy!
The effect of this vitality is countless times better than he imagined!
His shriveled flesh, under this vitality’s nourishment, faintly filled out and even regained a tinge of color!
It worked!
It truly worked!
A look of extreme excitement appeared on Elder Jun’s face; just absorbing a tiny bit had this effect?
If he completely drained Ye Chen, he might truly advance into a more formidable Witch Demon and greatly improve his strength, mightn’t he?
Ye Chen calmly watched Elder Jun and said, "Not killing me now, you’ll regret it."
"Regret?"
Upon these words, Elder Jun laughed with utmost mockery: "Kid, still putting on a strong front? I have a bad habit—I’m curious. I’d like to see how you make me regret it."
In Elder Jun’s view, Ye Chen was merely posturing!
This kid simply didn’t want him to obtain benefits, so he was pretending in an attempt to provoke him to strike?
Elder Jun instead became more convinced that Ye Chen had no chance of overturning the situation and more unscrupulously began to devour Ye Chen’s vitality!
Even though the Heavenly Demon Divine Rope had snapped at this moment, Elder Jun didn’t notice—he was solely focused on devouring, devouring, and more devouring!
Compared to Ye Chen’s vitality, everything else had become insignificant!
Just then, another flawless sword light struck the earth, and the entire barren ground emitted a mournful cry before shattering with a loud bang!
Freedom Heaven finally shattered to the point where it couldn’t exist in the mortal world under Xuan Han Yu’s attack!
Everyone returned to the mountain and forest!
Yet, Elder Jun was smiling coldly with a look of indifference.
So what if Freedom Heaven is shattered?
At this moment, Xuan Han Yu’s power was also exhausted; her body nearly became transparent, unable even to maintain her figure, let alone make a move!
He was already invincible!
Now, all he had to do was drain Ye Chen dry, then kill Lin Rutian—it was that simple!
At this point, Lin Rutian and Xuan Han Yu seemed to have fallen into despair. Originally, after the shattering of Freedom Heaven, Ye Chen was the only chance to defeat Elder Jun. But now, in Ye Chen’s state, let alone fighting, he couldn’t even resist Elder Jun’s devouring!
However, suddenly, Ye Chen’s eyes, which had dimmed due to losing vitality, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling Divine Radiance!
Elder Jun’s expression changed, and the hand pressed on Ye Chen’s head slightly trembled. Did this kid still have something up his sleeve?
As he hesitated over whether to temporarily stop devouring, a wave of divine soul energy suddenly surged from Ye Chen’s brow!
Ye Chen locked eyes with Elder Jun and coldly said, "Soul-devouring Sky!"
Elder Jun, who was previously on alert and even a bit worried, laughed upon sensing this wave of divine soul energy.
He laughed with extreme ridicule.
Elder Jun gave Ye Chen a disdainful glance, thinking that this little pest was going to employ some trick?
Is that it?
This divine soul attack, throughout his battle with Ye Chen, had been endured countless times, yet until now, it hadn’t even broken through his Divine Soul Defense. Was it just this kid’s last-ditch effort?
