From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

"I don't need to explain to you. Let's talk about it when you're qualified to have an equal dialogue with God."

Faced with Lu Heng's questioning, the three-headed serpent demon god made no explanation. As he said, a demon god does not need to explain to a mortal.

No matter how wary Lu Heng is of him, he would never take the initiative to threaten him.

Lu Heng, however, wanted to obtain more information and pressed on, "When I first met you, I noticed that one of your heads was emanating a strong abyssal aura. Now I'm very suspicious that you have three heads sharing one body, or that you are actually separate, independent individuals."

This question directly points to the secret of the three-headed serpent demon god. He did not respond, and his will withdrew directly from Azik's body.

Azik's body shuddered, then he collapsed to the ground, pressing his hand to his head, enduring the mental anguish, and gasped, "Did I lose control again?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, he relayed the message through you."

Azik pressed his head, enduring the pain for a moment, and slowly recovered before asking, "What did he say?"

Lu Heng replied, "I've proposed a method to break through the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, but I can't guarantee its success."

Azik got up and began setting up the bridge.

Seeing that he was in a bad state, Lu Heng asked, "Why don't we try to remove the demonic serpent eye from your body?"

Azik shook his head and replied, "No need. Keeping him around allows for communication. If he wants to control others, it's very simple."

For a demon god, implanting the eye of the demon serpent into an ordinary life form is indeed a very simple matter.

If the three-headed serpent god wanted, he could make any astral merchant his eye.

After checking the bridge's setup and information, Azik knew that the team was now searching for the key to the laws that unlocked the Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

He turned around and asked, "Any leads?"

Lu Heng shook his head: "Not yet, I'm not sure when we'll find it."

Azik, piloting his astral ship along the edge of outer space, said, "I'll circle around and see if the Key to the Laws is hidden in a spatial rift."

……

While searching for the key to the laws, the Swordholder Alliance continues to purge demons from the planet.

The most difficult to get rid of are the burrowing worms.

These filthy insects hide thousands of meters underground; if you rashly chase after them, you're likely to be ambushed.

Therefore, the task of clearing out the burrowing worms was assigned to Xavier Matrix's burrowing self-destruct robots.

Over time.

Two months have passed since the deployment of the nanomachine factory began.

The number of nanomachine factories is already staggering. Judging from Xavier Matrix's posture, he's preparing to fill all the underground caverns with burrowing self-destructing robots.

At this moment, millions of burrowing, self-destructing robots are active in the underground caverns.

An explosion could be heard from underground every now and then.

If the explosion is powerful enough, it could even cause the ground to collapse.

……

The time has come to the sixty-second day of the battle.

The abyssal demons on the planet have been mostly eliminated.

Sometimes, Xavier's reconnaissance planes would search all day and still not find a single living abyssal creature.

Now only the Winged Demon Ancestral Court remains unconquered.

Lu Heng's daily task is to keep an eye on the Winged Demon Ancestral Court and be wary of any possible appearances of otherworldly abyssal demons.

This operation has been dragging on for quite a while, taking two months in total.

The longer it takes, the more variables there will be.

If an abyssal demon were to appear, the final outcome would be uncertain.

The entire Swordholder team, along with Xavier's reconnaissance aircraft and probes, searched the planet for over a month.

So far, the anticipated key to the law has not been found.

We've been searching for so long; if the key to the law were something visible to the naked eye, we should have found it long ago.

Since it hasn't been found, it's very likely that it doesn't exist at all, or perhaps this key to the law is something that cannot be observed by anything below a true god.

Regardless of whether the key to the law exists, it's impossible to keep searching aimlessly like this indefinitely.

This morning.

Lu Heng gathered the sword-wielders on the starship to discuss the next steps:

"The so-called key to the law is harder to find than expected. We can't continue to waste time like this; we must make a decision immediately."

The leader of the Swordholder civilization present thought the same thing.

Both Aureanna and Soreville Bronzeforge were leaders of their respective kingdoms.

They have been away from the kingdom for a long time and cannot continue to delay like this.

If they can't find it, they need to go back as soon as possible.

Lu Heng knew what they were thinking and continued, "We may have to accept the fact that we will never find the key to the law, so we may have to temporarily give up the Winged Demon Ancestral Court."

"Of course, it's not a complete abandonment; Professor Xavier's army of nanomachines will remain on this planet."

"If there are any unusual movements at the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, we can come and deal with them at any time."

"The entire Winged Demon race has been wiped out, and the few remaining escaped Winged Demons can't cause any trouble, so this operation can be considered a success."

Orianna nodded in agreement, "Alright, I do need to go back to Klose."

Soreville Bronze Furnace and Sona shared the same idea.

The only one who wasn't in a hurry was Mia.

Because her father is in charge of Stonehammer Fortress, there won't be any problems if she leaves for a while.

As for Lu Heng's method of using the power of the Godslayer to cleave through the barrier of the Winged Demon Ancestral Court's laws...

I tried it a few days ago.

Lu Heng's Wind Dragon Severing Breath Slash can indeed break through a layer of law barrier, but these law barriers will regenerate.

Xavier Matrix calculated that if Lu Heng worked day and night without rest, using all his strength to break through the law barrier, it would take three months to completely break through the law defense barrier outside the Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

This is only because Lu Heng has the ability to break through the barriers of laws. Other demigods would have no way to deal with the Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

Three months is too long. Instead of wasting our energy here, we should let the nanomachine army guard the area and come back later when our strength has increased.

……

Just as everyone was discussing the next steps.

Azik got up and walked outside.

He went to the separate cabin, stood in front of the mirror, stared at it for a while, and asked, "You can hear me, right?"

no respond.

Azik waited a moment, then continued, "I don't mind being your eyes, and as your eyes, I hope I can make a small request."

There was still no response. Just as Azik was about to continue speaking, the mirror suddenly changed.

A pair of eyes appeared in the mirror, a pair of cold, vertical pupils.

Azik's expression hardened; he knew that the master of the Serpent's Eye had appeared.

His breathing quickened, and he asked, "You've finally appeared. You were the one who mentioned the Key to the Laws, but we can't find it. I hope you can help me find the Key to the Laws."

The cold, vertical pupils spoke: "I can help you, but you must agree to one request."

Azik raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "What are your requirements?"

The cold, vertical pupils continued, "In the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, there is something you need to take to the Dark World."

Azik immediately agreed and then obtained the method to find the key to the law from the cold vertical pupils.

He excitedly stepped out of the cabin and into the council hall, saying, "I have a way to find the key to the law."

The group, who had already begun discussing returning to their respective worlds, were stunned when they heard him say that.

Azik said excitedly, "Everyone, follow me. We're going to find the Key to the Laws and then open the Ancestral Court of the Winged Demons."

As he spoke, he led the way out of the starship and flew towards the planet's surface.

Everyone followed.

Su Muyu moved closer to Lu Heng, frowning as she asked, "How did he suddenly know where the key to the law was hidden?"

Lu Heng had already guessed the reason and replied, "He must have gotten the hint from the three-headed serpent demon god."

Azik flew while using a detector to perform checks.

Soon, he found a fragment of a poisonous mist organ in the Shadow Lake.

Previously, while dealing with the toxic fog incident, they destroyed an organ that was spitting out toxic fog.

The poisonous fog organ shattered into countless fragments, scattering into the Shadow Lake.

Azik picked up a fang from the bottom of Shadow Lake, held it up, and said, "This should be it. It's a divine polymer from Salion's demigod days."

"When Salion was still a demigod, his divinity was poisonous mist. When he ascended to the level of a demon god, he removed this part of his divinity and removed an organ from his body that spewed poisonous mist."

"In other words, this poisonous fog organ was actually once part of Salion's body, and it is also the key to the law that Salion left here."

After obtaining the Key of Law, Azik turned and flew towards the Ancestral Court of the Winged Demons. Holding the fangs, he passed through the barrier of law and entered the interior of the Ancestral Court of the Winged Demons.

Lu Heng and the others followed behind and successfully passed through the barrier of laws.

Inside the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, hundreds of high-ranking Winged Demons are hiding, including one demigod Winged Demon.

This demigod winged demon was Salion's divine servant, and after Salion left, he became the ruler of the winged demon ancestral court.

Upon seeing Lu Heng and the others enter the ancestral court, the Winged Demon God Servant immediately lost the courage to resist.

The Swordholder Alliance wreaked havoc in the Winged Demon World, slaughtering for over two months and wiping out all the abyssal creatures on the planet.

The demigod-level winged demon servant watched helplessly, not daring to step out of the winged demon ancestral court.

Therefore, he knew very well that he had no ability to resist, and even with the artifact left behind by Salion in his hands, he was no match for the four demigods.

The Winged Demon God Servant retreated to the north side of the main hall and said, "I'll give you everything in the ancestral court, as long as you let me leave."

"Bullshit." Lu Heng casually cleaved him in two with his sword, causing divine essence to explode all over the ground.

After clearing out the winged demons hiding in the ancestral temple of the winged demons.

Lu Heng turned to look for Azik, and seeing that he was acting strangely, he reached out and asked, "Give me the key first."

Azik hesitated for a moment, but still placed the venomous fang in Lu Heng's hand.

After Lu Heng got the keys, he announced, "Everyone, let's work together to empty this place, and then we'll go home."

"It's work!"

Everyone got excited.

Because this ancestral temple of the Winged Demon contains treasures collected by a demon god over thousands of years, including countless divine artifacts and secret treasures.

Azik also ran into the vault to look for things.

Since Azik obtained the clues from the three-headed serpent demon god and found the key to the law, Lu Heng always felt that things were not so simple.

I brought the key to the law earlier because I was worried that Azik might suddenly be controlled and lock everyone up here, which would be terrible.

So when Azik ran into the vault, Lu Heng paid him a few more glances and noticed that he seemed to be looking for something.

Azik ransacked the vault, opening and examining every single box.

Finally, he opened a crystal box at the very back of the vault, glanced inside, and immediately closed it again.

He picked up the box, turned around, and walked out.

Lu Heng followed behind him, watching to see what he was going to do.

Azik carried the box straight out of the ancestral temple, abandoning everything else and only wanting this one box.

Judging from his actions, his purpose was very clear: he was looking for something in the box.

Lu Heng followed him to the outside of the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, onto the covered bridge, stopped him, and asked, "What's in the box?"

Azik casually replied, "A treasure. I want this, is that okay? I only want this."

Lu Heng frowned and looked him over for a moment before asking, "Are you conscious right now?"

Azik put down the box, patted himself, and said, "I'm awake. I know who I am. There's no problem now. I remember what we ate yesterday."

Lu Heng pointed to the box and asked, "These aren't the things you wanted; you took them for someone else, right?"

Azik paused for a moment, then replied, "Please don't delve into this matter, okay?"

Lu Heng became increasingly cautious: "What is it that you can't let me know?"

Azik replied, "I promised. It's a deal, and I must keep it."

Lu Heng paced back and forth, then asked, "I won't ask what it is right now, but I'd like to take a look at what's inside the box, is that alright?"

Azik chuckled, unsure, "This... is a bit inconvenient. Can we just not look at it? I promise I won't harm you."

The more they forbid you from seeing it, the more it indicates a problem.

But he does appear to be fully conscious right now.

Lu Heng then asked, "What if I insist on seeing it? I might even resort to violence."

Azik was immediately in a dilemma: "That would ruin my reputation. You can't do that. I've already agreed to it."

Lu Heng had already guessed what was going on and said, "Let me guess. You contacted the Three-Headed Serpent Demon God this morning, right?"
"Then, he helped you find the key to the law, on the condition that you help him get something, which should be the thing in this box."

Azik looked extremely embarrassed, shrugged, and said nothing.

Lu Heng's guesses were all correct.

Lu Heng drew his sword and held it to his neck, saying, "This is an act of God, so it doesn't count as you breaking your promise."

Azik was even more helpless and said, "I know you won't do anything. I'm just helping him get something. I don't think it's necessary to make things so complicated."

Lu Heng looked down at the box and said, "This whole thing is strange. Sending the contents over will only complicate matters." (End of Chapter)
