One more catty, one more attribute point

"Heavenly Demon Descent!"

A sigh, akin to the tide of the ocean, rolled in.

Merely upon hearing the sound, the connection between Ralph's spirit and body felt as if severed by a blade.

His body completely out of control, he froze in place, unable to move. When he finally clenched his teeth and wrestled his way out of the daze, he felt the ground beneath him rolling and undulating violently. It was like sailing on a small boat upon an ocean suddenly whipped by winds and shrouded in Yin Wind.

An incredibly formidable spiritual power, across thousands of kilometers of sky, fixed Ralph in place as if it were a railgun spear awaiting launch.

Ralph took a deep breath.

Knowing he could no longer escape, he had no choice but to stay and engage in a battle to the death with this monster.

He turned around, looked up, and saw that his pupils uncontrollably trembled. There Su Heng's already immense stature further expanded and elongated, suspended mid-air. His eyes blazed with blood flames as he looked down from his lofty height with an indifferent gaze that oversaw everything.

Behind him, infinite dark energy surged out in all directions.

This was not the kind of energy a Martial Artist would recognize—rather, it was a sinister power of destruction formed by the fusion and transformation of Su Heng's own blood, spiritual power, and the authority of the Seed of Destruction.

From Ralph's perspective,

As those tendrils of energy touched the sky, the dark and swirling clouds were wiped clean.

All that remained were irregular rings of thin clouds, scattered around Su Heng like the stars around the moon, spreading outward.

Yin Fire blazed in the sky, a blood moon hung high, and its chilling light cast a blood-red, leaping aura on Su Heng's towering figure.

But when those tendrils penetrated the earth, the upheaval was even more startling.

The vast land shuddered violently as if unable to bear the force, rippling upward and downward. The crust ripped open fully, with massive amounts of mud churning.

Within the black soil, a fine network of mycelium rapidly grew.

Existing plants, earthworms, and even fungi and residual organic matter mutated under the authority of the Seed of Destruction, giving rise to numerous Deceit Beasts.

The number was so great that it was endless, and the rapid growth even caused a black storm that swept in all directions.

"Ah!!!" Ralph raised both arms, only to feel a piercing pain, and then he was immediately engulfed by the pitch-black storm.

"None of you three will escape!" Su Heng's cold and deep voice echoed around, coming from all directions. It was as if a billion Deceit Beasts were simultaneously calling out with various vocal organs, chanting in unison; that vast sound pierced the eardrums, nearly blowing Ralph's scalp off and driving him completely insane.

In the center of the battlefield, Su Heng quickly located the positions of the three Demon Gods.

Among them, the behemoth Reylo, due to his enormous size and lack of mobility, had only managed to cover less than three kilometers—a distance that was negligible for a powerhouse like Su Heng.

Ralph was slightly better off, but not by much.

His spirit affected, he was stuck in place and about five kilometers from Su Heng.

The most powerful among the three was the Blood Shadow Demon God, who was naturally agile. Even though he was injured, his all-out effort in a life-and-death crisis had carried him over ten kilometers away.

Good grief, just a little further, and he would have escaped from Su Heng's omnipotent grasp.

Unfortunately...

That slight distance marked the difference between life and death.

The Heavenly Demon State did not have a significant impact on Su Heng's appearance; rather, it primarily manifested in augmented spiritual power.

The control and output of the Seed of Destruction were greatly enhanced.

Creating Deceit Beasts was like creating extensions of Su Heng— with a single thought, Su Heng could manipulate them at will within his range.

Furthermore, due to enhanced spiritual power, all the Divine Skills that Su Heng possessed saw a metamorphic increase in power and range while in the Heavenly Demon State.

In his normal state, Su Heng could exert a gravitational force of up to three hundred thousand tons over an area of three kilometers with Gravity Manipulation.

But the explosive increase in spiritual power brought on by the Heavenly Demon State...

increased the limit of Gravity Manipulation to millions of tons, extending the range to ten thousand meters!

That means Su Heng could stand still, and the Blood Shadow Demon God's frenzied dash would still not get him out of Su Heng's palm.

Taking a moment to familiarize himself with the changes brought by the Heavenly Demon State,

Su Heng stretched out his arms, feeling the power to control everything at will like a creator, though his face showed little excitement; instead, it gradually turned cold, "It's all over."

He stood in the void, his hair whipping about, and thrust his palm forward.

Hiss!

Inky black light, like that of a Buddha, appeared in the center of Su Heng's palm.

In the hands of the old monk, the Tathagata Divine Palm was a sacred and tranquil power that subdued everything.

However, Su Heng, who had chosen a different path, wielded the same divine technique, which manifested in a completely divergent and ominous manner.

"Tathagata Divine Palm, First Form: All Buddhas Bow to Me!"

Boom!

As Su Heng slapped his palm towards the ground,

The ground beneath had already highly mutated, and instead of exploding amidst the numerous Deceit Beasts that blanketed it,

it was more like a giant stone smashing into a tranquil pond, with the center first caving in, then violently undulating, bulging upwards.

The tremendous force compressed the ground, causing ripples that spread rapidly outward, sweeping up to ten thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground tore apart, dust and smoke billowing.

Ominous, ferocious-looking demon Buddha statues then emerged on the battlefield.

Although all these likenesses were made of stone, they had bulging muscles and fierce, flaming whiskers. At a glance, a dense, ink-like malevolence rushed over, as if the spirits and deities were shivering, almost as though they were about to come alive.

Moreover, these statues were massive, with even the shorter ones standing dozens of meters tall and the taller ones exceeding a hundred meters. There was even a gigantic Buddha statue over three hundred meters tall that appeared beneath Su Heng's feet, holding him aloft like a small mountain.

Thud!

By this time the Blood Shadow Demon God had already escaped ten thousand meters.

Just as it seemed to be fleeing from the battlefield, before it could even catch its breath, it felt a gust of wind from behind and its head felt as though it had been struck by a hammer, dizzy and sinking.

When it came to its senses, a fierce, enormous face had appeared out of thin air in front of the Blood Shadow Demon God.

Each and every one of them a Blood Realm Demon God, beings with enormous audacity and a nature to kill.

Alas, all three had been toyed with by Su Heng, and beaten into having a psychological shadow. The Blood Shadow Demon God was startled, with hair standing on end and its heart pounding furiously. Only after recovering its composure did it realize that it was just a stone statue.

"Where the hell did this statue come from?!" The Blood Shadow Demon God first let out a sigh of relief, then was overcome with shock and rage, "Even a mere statue dares to insult me, it must be slain!"

Thud!

It suddenly threw a punch forward.

To its surprise, the Buddha statue extended a large hand and actually caught the punch.

"What the hell?!" The Blood Shadow Demon God's eyes widened, a chill running up its spine.

Even as an old Blood Realm Demon God, it had never seen anything so bizarre in its life. It didn't have time to ponder, as the statue was now buzzing and trembling, with red light shining from its eyes and emitting a dangerous chirping sound.

Boom!

In the next instant, the statue exploded.

The massive shockwave caught the unprepared Blood Shadow Demon God and sent it flying.

The powerful blast from the exploding statue was no small feat; even with armor for protection, the Blood Shadow Demon God tasted a sweet metallic tang in its mouth and nose. It briefly lost consciousness in midair and drifted with the wind like a falling leaf. When it regained its senses and slapped down with its hand, it steadied itself in the void.

Looking back, it was startled to find several divine statues had appeared around it at some unknown time, completely surrounding it.

Then—

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

These Buddha statues first shook violently and then exploded in sequence.

The Blood Shadow Demon God didn't even have time to curse before its body was lifted into the air by the violent shockwaves. Amidst the rolling dust and debris, it was bounced toward the direction where Su Heng was located as if skipping across the water.

In the center of the battlefield,

Su Heng wasn't idle either, choosing to join the fight to end this war.

He stepped forward, chanted the demon chant, his body slightly trembling, and then he displayed the Divine Skill of three heads and six arms. Four additional muscular azure-black arms ripped through flesh and appeared on Su Heng's bulging back, while two more heads emerged from the surging black mist, appearing on either side of his neck.

Unlike the Secret King or other Buddhist experts he had seen before, Su Heng had unique heads upon his shoulders with the same Divine Skill.

To the left, there was a dragon head with a ferocious visage and horns.

To the right was a golden crow head with black fur, red eyes, and a beak like polished dark metal. On its forehead was a bloody lump that from afar resembled an erect eye, and it emitted a cold and deadly aura as substantial as if it was tangible.

The three heads swayed wildly, at times making it hard to distinguish up from down, left from right.

Moreover, seeing one's own head from such a perspective was a truly novel sensation. Fortunately, under the Heavenly Demon State, Su Heng's spiritual power was formidable, and he quickly adapted to the situation.

Whoosh!

He lightly leaped down from the top of the Buddha statue.

The imposing figure with three heads and six arms vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was standing on the turtle shell of Reylo, the Blood Realm Demon God and giant crocodile.

Su Heng casually stepped on it, applying Gravity Manipulation at the same time. The double force was so great that Reylo felt as if he were carrying an ancient divine mountain on his back. His sturdy limbs shook violently, and his supposedly indestructible shell began to crack with pop sounds, clearly overstressed, with very large fractures distorting and spreading.

Then, he heard Su Heng's voice, cold and indifferent, "Kneel before me and await your execution; I'll grant you a swift end."

That voice was lofty.

It was like the voice of a king who conquered the world, punishing an insignificant barbarian vassal.

Especially that indifferent tone, as if being executed personally by him was an honor worth being grateful for.

Among the many Demon Gods of the Blood Realm, Reylo's strength was also near the front rank, and having fought a hundred battles, he had never surrendered. How could he bear such an insult?

"In your dreams!" Reylo's face was distorted, and he bled from the mouth, as he roared resentfully, "Just who do you think I am!"
