He perked up and flew over immediately.

Chapter 157 The Fall of the Demon King

Before the mid-18th century, the Balkan Peninsula was nominally part of the Ottoman Empire.

It has a long history and is the birthplace of ancient Greek culture.

At that time, the Ottoman Empire had already granted a high degree of autonomy to several states on this 55 square kilometer territory, and was waging a bloody and fierce war with the rising Tsarist Russian Empire next door over this land.

Until that man appeared.

Today, the Ottoman Empire has vanished in a massive war between armies and individuals, and the Russian Empire has also retreated in haste.

For more than two hundred years, the Balkan Peninsula has seen the rise and fall of states on the surface, but in reality, the highest power in this land has always been in the hands of a devilish ruler known as the Marquis of Voban.

Until today.

……

The Council of Wise Men was initially just a group of meddlesome people who were not afraid of death.

They were bored and had nothing better to do. The old man, feeling like he was eating poison and that he had lived too long, risked having his head ripped open by the Marquis of Voban and Rohau, and at the end of the 19th century, he formed the prototype of this organization.

This group was so audacious that they dared to collect the powers and effects of the god-killers, name them, and secretly research ways to resist these powers.

Originally, the Council of Sages was just a small secret club, not even a magic society.

But at the time, no one knew what the Marquess of Voban was thinking. He suddenly came to live in London, England, and did whatever he wanted, causing the country a lot of headaches.

With the covert support and connections of the British Royal Family, the Council of Wise Men began to expand rapidly, successfully drawing in several other European countries to join in the fight against—

No, it can't be called a confrontation.

The God Slayer is the King.

Therefore, they were able to slaughter the gods in the heavens and seize and use supreme power.

The god-slayer is the overlord.

Therefore, they are able to seize and exercise God's power to dominate anyone on earth.

The God Slayer is the Demon King.

Because none of the people living on earth have the power to resist him.

Therefore, it should be said that most of the European countries worked together to find solutions and help each other to survive under the rule of the Marquis of Voban, a savage god-slayer.

Marquis Voban was naturally aware of this situation.

However, considering that the existence of the Council of Sages would make his life more convenient and prevent idiots from appearing in front of him and angering him at will, he let it develop as it pleased.

Today, the Council of Wise Men has members all over the world and has developed into a world-class magic group.

Among them are extraordinary individuals such as magicians and esoteric scholars, as well as experts and scholars among ordinary people, royalty, and even religious figures such as priests, monks, and Taoist priests.

Their current Alice Louise Of Nafal, commonly known as Princess Alice, is the world's top witch.

Under her leadership, the Council of Sages was even able to fight against Alexander Gascoigne, one of the world's six god-killers, known as the "Black Prince."

Meanwhile, as the world's most well-informed magic group, and because it is located in Europe, she was almost among the first to receive this news.

"Marquis Voban was killed by an unknown entity?"

Because of the excessive spiritual power that even pressured her body, she was unable to move and leaned against an 18th-century mahogany chair, her cherry lips slightly parted, full of surprise on her beautiful face.

Marquis Voban is the world's most powerful god-slayer, who also has the longest lifespan and the highest level of strength.

He killed nearly a dozen gods, some of whom even possessed the power of resurrection.

Princess Alice was in disbelief upon receiving the news of his sudden death.

Her butler, Ericsson, spoke up.

"The one who killed Marquis Voban could be a god, or it could be an unknown god-slayer. We currently have no information about the identity of this mysterious lord."

"I'm going to have a look."

Princess Alice looked extremely excited and intrigued, eager to try it out.

Because of the extraordinary spiritual power contained within her soul, Princess Alice was able to become a spirit, that is, to have her soul leave her body.

Her spirit was even able to cross the boundaries of the human world and travel to the underworld.

But Ericsson immediately stopped her.

“Your Highness, Marquis Voban also possessed the soul-transformation ability of the Black Dragon of the Underworld, and could even be resurrected with it, yet he was still killed. Spiritification cannot guarantee your safety.”

Although Alice is a little willful, she will not make decisions based on her own interests when it comes to matters of great importance, such as the death of a god-killer.

"I see."

She shook her head slightly, causing her dazzling blonde hair to tremble.

After thinking for a moment, Princess Alice gave the order.

"Ericsson, mobilize all our overt forces with the Marquis to investigate the situation of that mysterious figure! Before the situation becomes clear, we must not let him develop a dislike for our Council of Sages!"

Ericsson lowered his head.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"

……

To be honest, the Council of Wise Men wasn't the first to know about Marquis Voban's death.

Granicar, the leader of the Bronze Black Cross, an Italian magic society headquartered in Milan, witnessed the fall of the Marquis of Voban.

Despite being one of the Seven Sisters of Europe, the Bronze Black Cross theoretically submitted to Tony, the Italian god-slayer, the "King of Swords".

Prior to this, the Bronze Black Cross had always been a subordinate magical society of Marquis Voban.

Compared to Tony, who is carefree, dim-witted, and has only been a god-slayer for a few years, Marquis Voban is far more powerful and inspires awe.

On his trip to the Balkans to meet Marquis Voban, Granichal brought his granddaughter Liliana with him.

Several years ago, the Marquis of Voban held a ceremony to summon the disobedient god.

Liliana participated as a witch.

Based on this achievement and his own insignificant reputation, Granichal hoped that Liliana would serve Marquis Voban.

Then, at Marquis Voban’s castle, he saw a crimson sword light descend from the sky.

He was a young man with silver hair who controlled a flying sword.

This is, of course, Xia Zhi, who has just transmigrated to this world.

When he appeared, the Marquis of Voban wore a look of amusement and arrogance.

"Where did you come from, junior? Are you here to challenge me?"

Without saying a word, Xia Zhi extended his right hand to Marquis Voban.

He sensed a deep longing emanating from the other person, a longing that stirred even his primordial spirit.

With her remaining spiritual energy at her disposal, Xia Zhi transformed her divine sense into a cannonball and launched it, striking Marquis Voban like lightning, causing his soul to tremble and his mind to go blank.

Then, Xia Zhi leaped into the ground, and with a soft thud, his right hand pierced through Marquis Voban's chest.

Numerous fleshy tentacles, resembling dragons and snakes, spread out and, in less than a second, devoured Marquis Voban's body and soul completely.

This scene left Granicar and Liliana with immense psychological trauma.

Having obtained Marquis Voban's memories, Xia Zhi revealed a look of sudden realization.

"So it was a god-slayer."

Chapter 158 The Dew of the Soul and Enemies Among All Gods

After browsing through Marquis Voban's memories, Xia Zhi kept the memories about the God of Disobedience, magic, and various forces, and deleted all the rest.

Just like the demons, ghouls, and monsters he ate before.

Get out of here, you piece of garbage memory!

Having just arrived in this world, Xia Zhi, driven by an intense desire for the power within Marquis Voban, chose to take direct action.

Moreover, he unleashed a powerful move right from the start, utilizing the power of his primordial spirit.

However, precisely because of this, Marquis Voban had no ability to resist and was devoured whole, skin and bones.

It now appears that even without using her primordial spirit power, Xia Zhi could easily defeat Marquis Voban.

The power of the Black Dragon of the Underworld is simply to allow Marquis Voban's soul to enter the Underworld and then be resurrected.

If the souls in the underworld cannot be harmed, there is no way to kill Marquis Voban.

However, Xia Zhi was able to use the soul array of the Heavenly Realm to launch a dimensional attack, directly imprisoning Marquis Voban's soul and giving him no chance to enter the Underworld.

At the same time, after devouring Marquis Voban, Xia Zhi also knew what was attracting her from within him.

It's power!

Power is the embodiment of divinity, and this divinity can heal the injuries to his primordial spirit!

In Xia Zhi's view, the essence of divinity is clearly the power of the soul mixed with a large amount of faith!

Aside from some extremely rare natural treasures, nothing is better at repairing the upgraded version of the soul, namely the primordial spirit of a cultivator, than the power of the soul.

Incense is poisonous, and even demonic cultivators rarely dabble in it.

Those who dare to do this, apart from those from Taoism and Buddhism, are all called heretical cultivators!

But the summer solstice can get rid of this poison.

After all, he didn't need the power that authority brought; he only needed this divinity to heal his primordial spirit.

Although it's like buying the box and returning the pearl, it can't be considered picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.

Xia Zhi received ten portions of divinity from Marquis Voban, which originated from the ten disobedient gods he had slain.

"So next, whether it's a god-slayer or a disobedient god, they are all my targets."

A fierce glint flashed in Xia Zhi's eyes as she looked at the old man and the girl in front of her.

Marquis Voban is accustomed to using his power, the "Cage of Death's Servants," to summon death's servants to serve him.

Therefore, when the Marquis of Voban died, these dead servants also disappeared.

Inside the castle, only three people remained alive.

Xia Zhi sheathed the Crimson Light Sword and asked the old man a question.

"Granichar, the leader of the Bronze Black Cross?"

"Yes, King!"

Witnessing the Marquis of Voban being brutally murdered, Granicar immediately pulled his granddaughter Liliana to kneel down on one knee to show his submission.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but Liliana is the future of the Bronze Black Cross, she can't be lost here.

Moreover, if it angers this unknown new king, the Bronze Black Cross might become history from this day forward.

In Granichal's worldview, the only beings capable of killing a godkiller are either gods or other godkillers.

Since Marquis Voban previously referred to him as a junior, this unknown young king must be the Godslayer.

This was actually a misjudgment by Granicar.

When they met, Xia Zhi did not give Marquis Voban the sense of excitement and certainty that inevitably arises when a god-slayer encounters a disobedient god, a sense of impending doom and death.

Sensing the terror and threat emanating from the crimson sword light, Marquis Voban could only guess that Xia Zhi was a god-slayer and that the crimson sword light was his power.

But Granichal believed that the Marquis of Voban's guess was the conclusion.

Xia Zhi did not correct him.

"Find me a place to rest in the castle, and don't let anyone disturb me."

Granichal bowed his head deeply.

"As ordered."
