Among the rebels, more than a dozen decrees floated above them, cast by the Demon Lords behind them to protect them.
If the two great Demon Lords didn't intervene to protect them, they would likely be destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.
The Demon King army is different from the True Demon army. True Demons, if they wished, could be created from low-level Demon Kings at any time. Although it would be difficult to create hundreds of billions at once, it wouldn't take too long.
But Demon Kings had to be cultivated step by step; they were their real army and couldn't be allowed to be destroyed by the aftermath of battle.
As for the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's army, sorry, he was alone. His army had already been wiped out in Zhongtian City.
This was one of the reasons why the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord could so readily destroy deserters before.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord glanced behind him, inwardly sneering. When he unleashed his great divine power with such fanfare, he naturally intended to affect the Demon King army behind him.
Thinking of the loss of his most elite army in Zhongtian City, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord felt a pang of heartache.
So, he wanted to vent his anger on Yi Ling.
"Ten Eyes to Heaven!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord no longer held back in the slightest, and the ten eyes on his face simultaneously shot out chaotic light.
He was born with a hundred eyes, but ninety eyes were hidden. Ten Eyes to Heaven was a great divine power composed of the innate divine abilities contained in the ten eyes, powerful and meant to be as high as the heavens.
The name he gave his divine power showed how ambitious he was. It was just a pity that he met Yun Wuyue back then.
Seven Absolute was also talking to Yun Shuang about some past events.
Yun Shuang looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord with pity.
If the Demon Empress hadn't appeared out of nowhere back then, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord might have been the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, each eye containing a great divine power, was even more heaven-defying than any physique, an absolute genius.
Unfortunately, her Demon Empress was even more of a genius!
So, she increasingly didn't believe that the Demon Empress had fallen in the Heavenly Abyss.
Maybe she was secretly watching her somewhere!
Whether it was for the Demon Empress or to live up to the Demon Emperor Palace soldiers who had given their lives, she had to quell this rebellion and minimize the losses.
"Aunt Seven Absolute, when Yi Ling kills the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord later, the other side will definitely not be able to help but attack Yi Ling. When that happens, I'll take the opportunity to fully activate the Demon Emperor Palace's power and kill that guy Father told me to watch out for, to eliminate future troubles."
Yun Shuang secretly transmitted her voice, not even saying the name of Devouring Spirit, but using 'that guy' instead, because Devouring Spirit's realm was clearly higher than hers. Even with the Demon Emperor Palace shielding her, she was afraid that Devouring Spirit would sense the danger and run away.
"What do you need me to do?" Seven Absolute asked.
"Just protect yourself and Yi Ling," Yun Shuang said confidently.
Seven Absolute nodded, her gaze turning to the battlefield.
The battlefield was already a chaotic mess, beyond the sight of any being below the Demon Lord level.
"Rumble!"
A blood-colored divine light and a black figure were constantly colliding, the sounds shaking the nine heavens and resounding through the netherworld.
Yi Ling fought more bravely as she fought, her spear like the Dao, breaking through the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's great divine power and striking straight at the center.
"Strong!"
A blood-colored shield blocked Yi Ling's spear.
"A second natal weapon?" Yi Ling was surprised.
Generally speaking, one could only have one natal weapon, otherwise, what would be the point of calling it 'natal'?
But clearly, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had mastered the means to possess a second natal weapon. Thinking of how many divine powers the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord possessed, Yi Ling was relieved.
"But it's just an extra tortoise shell," Yi Ling sneered.
"Hmph!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord just snorted coldly, but suddenly felt a crisis descending from the sky, subconsciously raising his shield.
"Boom!"
A small pagoda appeared, radiating dazzling divine light and filled with the aura of time.
"Chronos Pagoda! I didn't expect Seven Absolute to be willing to give you such a treasure."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's expression changed. The Chronos Pagoda was a treasure born from chaos. In terms of grade, it was equivalent to an Immortal Emperor artifact, but neither Seven Absolute nor Yi Ling were Demon Emperors, so they couldn't unleash its full power.
But it was definitely no worse than a natal weapon, and even stronger.
He asked himself, if he possessed such a treasure, he would never give it to anyone else.
"Hmph, because your格局 (géjú - vision/mindset) is too small. You were never suitable to be the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm."
Yi Ling coldly sneered in disdain. The Chronos Pagoda was a gift her master had given her on the day she advanced to True Demon.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued. Once I kill you, the Chronos Pagoda will be mine," the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord retorted coldly. He naturally had ideas about the Chronos Pagoda.
"Looking for a beating!"
Yi Ling scolded angrily, thrusting out her spear, but it struck the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's shield, the two emitting the most dazzling light, sparks flying everywhere.
But the powerful '势' (shì - momentum/power) forcibly knocked the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord back, sending him flying out of the chaotic battlefield.
"Wow!"
The rebels couldn't help but exclaim in an uproar. The two great Demon Lords had only exchanged blows for less than half an hour, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord had been knocked back?
Some Demon Kings even saw a faint crack in the center of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's shield.
"Hiss!"
This made their scalps tingle. That was an Immortal Venerable artifact, and a shield with unparalleled defense at that. It was actually damaged?
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord also noticed the crack on the shield, his expression slightly changing. Then, with a wave of his hand, he used creation techniques to create immortal gold out of thin air, repairing the crack in the shield.
"What a pain!"
Yi Ling frowned slightly as she looked at the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's shield. Although her attack power was strong, it still hadn't exceeded the shield's ability to withstand it. If she couldn't break the shield, she couldn't attack the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's true form.
To kill the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, she had to attack his true form.
"Hehe, I'm already in an invincible position. The final victory of this battle will belong to me."
"But what surprises me the most is you, Yi Ling. Your strength really exceeds my imagination."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord smiled calmly.
"You think this shield can guarantee your invincibility?" Yi Ling asked disdainfully.
"Obviously, you can't break the defense of my shield," the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord replied.
"But why would I attack your shield?" Yi Ling smiled slightly, and then, in the next moment, her figure suddenly disappeared.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's expression changed. He only felt a sharp pain in his back. By the time he reacted, he had been pierced through his demonic body by a spear.
"Cough, cough!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord coughed up blood, turning to look at Yi Ling, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could her speed be so fast?
"What was that?" Behind the passage, the Demon Lords were all shocked, because they hadn't seen how Yi Ling had hurt the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
"It's time!"
At this moment, the Devouring Spirit Demon Lord said quietly.
"Time?" The other Demon Lords were stunned, and then they immediately thought of the Chronos Pagoda.
"She used the Chronos Pagoda to accelerate time for herself, so there's the illusion that her speed is very fast," the Devouring Spirit Demon Lord continued.
"So that's how it is, but such a method can't be used too much," another Demon Lord said.
Accelerating time for oneself, if it's inside the Chronos Pagoda, there's not much of a problem. The Chronos Pagoda was born from chaos, and time acceleration is allowed inside it.
But in the outside world, accelerating time for oneself is equivalent to accelerating oneself to go to the future faster. If used too much, it will cause one to leave the current space-time and enter an unknown future space-time. This will cause heaven-defying karma, and even Demon Emperors wouldn't dare to do it.
This is an ability that belongs to breaking the Dao!
"The problem is, we don't know how many times she can use it," a Demon Lord said.
Because this is an ability that belongs to breaking the Dao, it's very unsolvable for Demon Lords.
"We'll know by watching!"
Red Sun said quietly, but inwardly became wary of the Devouring Spirit Demon Lord.
He hadn't seen what means Yi Ling had used, but the Devouring Spirit Demon Lord had seen it. This was simply a variable!
