Lucifer's eyes flashed with a crazed light as he raised his scythe high and slashed down fiercely at the crowd in the fortress…
"Die, all of you!"
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lucifer's lips. He knew that to break through their defenses, a swift victory was key.
Dark power surged around him like inky clouds, suddenly spreading outwards.
The soul beasts near the battlefield screamed in agony the moment the dark power touched them.
Their bodies rapidly withered, their life force visibly drained by Lucifer.
As life force continued to flow in, Lucifer's aura grew stronger.
With a wave of his hands, countless pitch-black phantoms separated from his body.
These phantom clones were indistinguishable from his main body, each radiating a terrifying aura.
The phantoms launched a devastating, overwhelming attack on the crowd like ghosts.
Meanwhile, Lucifer's main body remained fixed on Bibi Dong.
In his eyes, Bibi Dong posed the greatest threat to him among everyone present.
He flashed like a black lightning bolt, instantly piercing through layers of defenses and heading straight for Bibi Dong.
He raised his black scythe, radiating an aura of death, high and brought it down fiercely towards Bibi Dong's head.
The speed was so fast that it tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Bibi Dong felt the chilling killing intent rushing towards her, and her heart skipped a beat.
She had no time to think and immediately activated her Rakshasa power to its limit.
A purplish-black demonic shield instantly appeared before her, its surface covered with strange runes that flickered with an eerie light, as if telling an ancient curse.
"Boom!"
The black scythe struck the demonic shield heavily, unleashing a deafening roar.
A powerful energy shockwave emanated from the two of them, instantly compressing the surrounding air into a vacuum. Nearby trees and rocks were reduced to dust.
Bibi Dong felt an overwhelming force surge through her shield; her feet carved deep furrows in the ground, and she was thrown back dozens of meters.
Although the demon shield withstood the fatal blow, the runes on it dimmed, clearly indicating the immense pressure it had endured.
Seeing this, Di Tian and the others were frantic.
Ignoring the attacks of his phantom clones, Di Tian unfurled his purple-gold dragon wings and charged towards Lucifer.
His claws gleamed with a purplish-gold light as he viciously clawed at Lucifer's back, attempting to force him away from Bibi Dong.
Xiong Jun and the Demon King also abandoned their pursuit of the illusory clone.
Xiong Jun let out a deafening roar, conjuring a massive, earth-yellow energy ball in his hands, which he hurled at Lucifer.
The Demon King manipulated all the surrounding trees, causing their branches to intertwine, forming a vast green net that descended upon Lucifer.
Qian Renxue, wielding the Angel Sword, her angelic wings gleaming brightly, combined her angelic power with the light elements of the Star Dou Great Forest, transforming herself into a golden meteor as she flew towards Lucifer.
Her Angel Sword burned with golden flames, flames imbued with purifying power, determined to completely purify Lucifer's dark forces.
Bi Ji, meanwhile, exerted all her life force, not only healing everyone's injuries but also attempting to interfere with Lucifer's absorption of the soul beasts' life force.
A soft green light emanated from her body, forming a vast net that attempted to rescue the soul beasts shrouded in Lucifer's dark power.
Facing the onslaught, Lucifer remained unfazed.
He coldly snorted, and his dark power erupted once more.
The ice spikes that attacked shattered upon contact with the dark power!
Di Tian's purple-gold dragon claws gripped the shield formed by the dark power, leaving only shallow marks;
Xiong Jun's earthen-yellow energy ball was devoured by the dark power and vanished without a trace; the Demon King's green net was corroded and riddled with holes as soon as it approached Lucifer.
Lucifer raised his black scythe again, preparing to meet Qian Renxue's attack.
Simultaneously, he diverted a portion of his dark power towards Bi Ji, intending to eliminate this troublesome figure who was interfering with his life force absorption…
