Chapter 1688: 205 Chapter God and Demon Appears_2
As the ruler of the Demon Realm, Hades appeared and virtually subdued all the top experts of the human allied forces. Every person’s eyes reflected a glow of despair. However, there were exceptions—one was the severely injured Pope, and the other was Xuan Yue, who held Ah Dai’s arm. The black hexagram arrived in an instant; although Xuan Yue’s body couldn’t move, she quickly chanted a spell. Just as the black hexagram reached her and Ah Dai, a milky white barrier appeared in front of them, forcibly blocking the black hexagram’s advance.
Surprise flashed across Hades’ eyes; he hadn’t expected that under his pressure, Xuan Yue and Ah Dai could still resist. The palm shook, and the previously released black hexagram exploded suddenly.
Boom— The shock wave alone sent Xuan Yuan and Xi Wen flying, spraying blood profusely. However, when the billowing dust settled, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue still stood in their place without moving an inch. Hades looked at them in astonishment, clearly sensing that his frontal attack had been completely blocked. He muttered, "How, how is this possible? How could humans possibly withstand my attack?" Just then, a light tinkling sound was heard, though faint, it was still captured clearly by Hades. He glanced towards the direction of the sound, seeing white fragments falling from Xuan Yue’s right hand. Hades understood, "So it’s the Ring of Guardian, no wonder it could withstand my strike."
Indeed, when Hades launched the black hexagram attack, Xuan Yue chanted the Absolute Defense of the Ring of Guardian. With that absolute energy, she finally shielded herself and Ah Dai from this catastrophic strike. However, Hades’ power was overwhelmingly strong; although the attack was blocked, the Ring of Guardian was completely damaged, a Divine Artifact disappearing just like that.
Taking advantage of Hades’ surprise and momentary slackening of pressure, Ah Dai decisively used the last teleportation of Goris’s Wish. The Sumeru Sword swiftly condensed despite the shock to his meridians, suddenly slashing towards Hades’ body from behind. This strike amassed all of Ah Dai’s energy; he attacked with a resolve to perish with the enemy.
Hades didn’t even turn his head; the joints couldn’t restrict his actions. His arm swung backward, his right hand abruptly grabbing at Ah Dai’s Sumeru Sword. Several flickers of black shadow occurred, with no one clearly seeing the change. When everything returned to stillness, Hades’ hand was already gripping Ah Dai’s throat, the Sumeru Sword disappeared. Staring blankly at his other hand, a thread of black blood flowed from his fingers. He muttered, "A human, a single human actually able to wound my finger, unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"
Seeing Hades subdue his most beloved person, Sheng Xie broke free from the pressure with his immense strength and charged at Hades, golden horns shot out, emitting a deadly glow. Hades watched Sheng Xie with some admiration and smiled, "Not bad, to be able to fight Harbank to a draw, you’re quite strong. Rest assured, I will transform your soul to make you my most loyal subordinate." His hands formed circles, and rings of black light bound Sheng Xie, the glow from the seven golden horns slowly disintegrated within the black rings. The rings ensnared Sheng Xie’s body completely, rendering him incapacitated with a roar, and he fell to the ground, glaring at Hades with his big golden eyes.
Seeing her beloved restrained, Xuan Yue was equally panicked. As Sheng Xie launched his attack, her four wings of light appeared at her back once again in her heightened state of mental excitement. With a flash, Xuan Yue broke free from Hades’ restraint and charged fiercely at him. Her entire body was enveloped in golden light. Hades looked at the four wings of light behind Xuan Yue and smiled slightly, "Ah, a reincarnated angel. Good, I like such souls the most. Give it to me." A ring of black light escaped from Hades’ hand, enveloping Xuan Yue’s body like lightning. Xuan Yue trembled violently, spasming uncontrollably before falling to the ground. A ball of golden light floated into Hades’ hand, and he murmured, "En, nice, once matters here are resolved, I’ll thoroughly enjoy this pure soul." The light flickered, and the golden orb vanished in Hades’ hand. Having successively subdued Sheng Xie and captured Xuan Yue’s soul, Hades remained composed, seemingly expending no effort.
Ah Dai watched helplessly as Xuan Yue’s soul was seized, unable to do anything; he desperately tried to struggle but lacked any strength. His heartbreak peaked, yet the disparity in power was too great; how could he possibly escape? In his mental torment, Ah Dai coughed up a mouthful of blood, nearly fainting.
Suddenly, the golden light burst forth greatly, ejecting everyone surrounding the Pope’s body with that vast energy. Golden flames burned around him as his body slowly hovered upwards.
Hades watched the Pope’s body and smiled, "Ah, humans have truly made considerable progress since a millennium ago! Another who manages to surprise me. You’re also a reincarnated angel, burning your body, you indeed have some abilities. But do you think you can counter me, the ruler of the Demon Realm, with just your cultivation? What a folly."
