Please be my partner.

Moreover, with the immortal fighting spirit, there is no need to worry about any remnants, as they can be easily purified.

With battle intent flowing through his body, Spike unleashed another divine ability... [Battle Body]. Both of these divine abilities were recently passed down to him by Mellen. Although Spike had only just begun to learn them, the combined effect greatly enhanced his strength.

Spike gently stretched its body, and the waves that bound it collapsed instantly. It raised its claw, and its supernatural ability [Battle Body] simultaneously manifested a golden claw a hundred times larger, which then slammed down.

The giant sea bream demon's eyes widened. The attack covered too much area, and it had nowhere to dodge. It could only desperately use its defensive abilities and simultaneously raise the two hardest horns on its head.

"Boom!~"

The earth shook violently.

The golden giant claw immediately dispersed the wave magic unleashed by the giant sea bream demon, and then landed on the giant sea bream demon without any reduction in power.

The defensive magic had no effect whatsoever, bursting like a bubble. The sharp horns and bone spikes on the giant sea bream were instantly shattered, and a large part of its body was also reduced to dust. The remaining part also had huge cracks.

With just this one blow, the giant sea bream demon was knocked to the ground, barely alive, only kept alive by the tenacious vitality of the fairy demon itself.

This scene shocked all the demons present. With their limited knowledge, they simply could not understand how a minor demon who had not yet reached the Immortal Realm could kill a powerful demon of the Immortal Realm in a single blow!

Regardless, the defeat of the giant sea bream demon was a fact. After a brief moment of disorientation, the demon soldiers and generals he brought scattered in panic and fled in all directions.

The golden-armored warriors then dispersed to encircle and attack, striving to inflict maximum damage.

Soon, the demon soldiers and generals discovered a despairing fact: no matter how they tried to escape, they could only spin around in circles, as if trapped in a maze.

Since the goal is to delay as much as possible, we cannot let any of the minor demons or monsters escape.

If the demon soldiers and generals were united and had the advantage of their formation, it would be quite troublesome. However, given their current state of disarray, Xiao Liuli only needed to use a few tricks to confine them within a certain area, preventing them from escaping.

At this moment, Black Cloud was numb. The development of reality was too far beyond its expectations, so much so that it was struck by Thunderstrike's lightning several times due to its distraction. Fortunately, Thunderstrike was not much better off and was also shocked. Otherwise, it would have ended the battle long ago if Black Cloud had made those mistakes.

Suddenly, Black Cloud's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced discreetly at Nasus, who had been standing aside smiling and watching the battle from the beginning.

The battle between Black Cloud and Thunderclap subtly shifted. Suddenly, Black Cloud, having endured several of Thunderclap's attacks, lunged at Nasus.

In Black Cloud's view, of the three demon kings of Tianlang Mountain, Spike possesses undeniable overwhelming strength, and Little Liuli had just tested him as well, while only Nasus had not made a move.

Black Cloud didn't know if Nasus was as strong as Spike and Little Liuli, but it could only gamble now, betting that Nasus was really just a cunning strategist.

Because this was Black Cloud's only chance to survive.

Only by taking Nasus hostage can it...only then...

Nasus sensed the movement of the black cloud, tilted his head slightly, his smile unchanged, but his eyes grew larger and larger in the black cloud's gaze until they occupied the entire world and completely swallowed it.

Ta Lei was still annoyed that he had fallen for Hei Yun's scheme when he saw Nasus just smile at Hei Yun, and Hei Yun fell to the ground without a sound.

When Nasus looked at it with the same smiling expression, Treadray instinctively shuddered.

Nasus ignored Turtle's little schemes. He was in a pretty good mood. The battle had brought him plenty of material, including a powerful demon from the Celestial Realm, which gave him a chance to use the soul abilities he had just acquired.

Just as Nasus was pondering how to process these fresh souls, he noticed Spike's gaze upon him.

As Spike's closest companion, Nasus immediately understood what Spike meant. He said with a hint of helplessness, "Dark Cloud is a traitor, and that is unforgivable."

Spike remained unmoved, continuing to watch Nasus quietly.

Nasus could only raise his paw and say, "Okay, okay! I understand!"

With a flick of its little claw, a glimmer of light landed on the black cloud, causing the latter to tremble violently and then gasp for breath.

Black Cloud trembled, breaking out in layers of cold sweat. The experience of going from life to death and back again sent a chill down its spine.

It looked at Nasus and asked, trembling, "Why...why not sooner..."

Nasus's smile faded, and he said calmly, "You want to ask why we are so powerful and why we didn't tell you sooner?"

Nasus chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you before? You just didn't believe me."

Just then, Spike and Little Liuli walked over slowly.

Black Cloud looked at Spike with a hopeful expression. Although its soul had just been extracted, it knew that it was because of Spike that it had been able to come back to life. It said, "Boss, I..."

"Bear!~"

Golden flames surged forth, instantly burning the black cloud to astonishment.

Hei Yun never understood why, if he was going to kill him, he had just released his soul back.

Ta Lei was also puzzled, wondering why his boss would go to such lengths.

They didn't understand, but Nasus and Little Glass knew.

For Spike, companions hold immense importance. While Black Cloud's betrayal is unforgivable, they were companions for a time after all. There's no need for his soul to become Nasus's material, and who knows how much torment he'll suffer afterward.

As long as they give us a decent ending, that's fine.

Chapter 619 Yellow Wind Strikes

Since Nasus only captured the giant sea bream's soul without killing it, the Yellow Wind Demon King's forces were completely unaware that something had happened to the latter.

This is to be expected, after all, he is a great demon from the celestial realm. Normally, he would go into seclusion for three to five years at a time. Although he left this time under the pretext of quelling the rebellion, he took a group of demon soldiers and generals with him. However, no demon dared to ask any questions, and no demon thought that the giant sea bream demon would fail in his campaign against a minor demon.

In the eyes of the Yellow Wind Demon King's forces, the reason why the Giant Sea Bream Demon hadn't returned for so long was probably because it was held up by other matters, and there was nothing to worry about.

More than ten days passed like this.

Huangfeng Ridge, a den of demons.

While cultivating his supernatural powers, King Huangfeng listened to his demon officials' reports on the territory's income.

"...This year, the production of Jade Marrow Sand has increased slightly, and the share of Hundred Flower Immortal Wine exchanged with Flower Sound Valley has also increased by 10%..."

"...The Seven Treasures Bamboo is growing well, the production of Starfire Magic Stones has remained basically unchanged, and with the addition of Thunderstone Iron... these resources were exchanged for 2500 sets of demon soldiers and armor from Ironheart Island. Combined with the previous stockpile, this is enough to equip a new elite legion..."

"...Because of the destruction caused by those Nether Ravens, the production of Spiritual Energy Pearls in Spirit Wind Valley has been significantly reduced..."

"...The quality of the flesh and blood used in recent years has improved, and the Yin energy gathered in the Ghost-Faced Pine Forest has also increased significantly. At this rate, the Yin Whirlwind Fruit this time may be fully ripe in another two or three years..."

"..."

Just then, King Huangfeng suddenly frowned, interrupting his subordinate's report. He took out an exquisite white jade gourd from his bosom, examined it for a moment, and then opened it, from which a ball of eerie light floated out.

The faint light was extremely weak, appearing and disappearing intermittently, and it was rapidly dissipating.

Upon seeing this, King Yellow Wind's face turned extremely ugly.

This ghostly light is a wisp of the Giant Sea Bream Demon's natal soul, and also a powerful tool for the Yellow Wind King to control his subordinate demon immortals.

If the Yellow Wind King were to destroy this wisp of his natal soul, it wouldn't necessarily kill the Giant Sea Bream Demon outright, but it would be enough to severely damage its vitality. Moreover, the damage to its natal soul would not only be difficult to recover from, but it would also affect its future strength improvement, which could be considered as severing its path to enlightenment.

This wisp of the soul was connected to the giant sea bream demon, sharing both glory and ruin. Its current state of disintegration clearly indicates that the giant sea bream demon has perished.

The fact that one of his generals had died so quietly made King Huangfeng's face turn extremely ugly.

He said in a deep voice, "Investigate! Find out exactly what happened!"

Those on either side were close advisors of King Huangfeng, and naturally understood what the white jade gourd represented. Upon hearing the king's command, they immediately responded with a roar and scattered in all directions.

In just a short while, one of King Yellow Wind's lesser demons came to report on the giant sea bream demon.

After hearing this, the Yellow Wind King's face darkened.

A burly man, three meters tall with bulging muscles and wearing only a piece of animal skin around his waist, his exposed skin rough and gray, said, "Your Majesty, with the giant sea bream's abilities, a mere lesser demon could never be his match. Could this be the work of the other two?"

King Huangfeng nodded and said, "Ancient Elephant, you're right. This is very likely the work of the Nether Crow or the Mysterious Fire!"

Another female demon, with a human body and a snake tail, and whose waist swayed like a floating willow as she walked, said in a seductive voice, "Your Majesty, those two demon kings are stripping your wings."

King Huangfeng suddenly stood up, his overwhelming majesty pressing down on the hearts of every demon present, causing them to instinctively lower their heads, not daring to offend this king of the demon race.

In this oppressive and solemn atmosphere, King Huangfeng coldly said, "Raise the army! I want to see who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes!"

"promise!"

Under the command of King Huangfeng, Huangfeng's forces are ready to go.

The demonic cloud formed by the gathering of 200,000 demon soldiers and generals was simply overwhelming. With the Yellow Wind Demon King at the head and demon immortals such as the Ancient Elephant and the Snake in charge, its power was enough to shake the world for thousands of miles.

The other two demon kings in the Demon Eye Mountain, Mingya and Xuanhuo, noticed Huangfeng's actions immediately. They didn't know what had gotten into Huangfeng, but at the same time, they quickly withdrew their forces to avoid being ambushed by him. Only then did they send out people to investigate the situation.

When the Yellow Wind King and his entourage arrived at Tianlang Mountain in a grand procession, they found Spike and his companions looking like they had been waiting for a long time.

King Huangfeng swept his divine sense across the area. With the support of the army, his divine sense possessed a powerful aggressiveness. After a moment, he withdrew his divine sense and did not sense any familiar aura.

Yellow Wind King then looked at Spike and the others again and suddenly said, "Giant Snapper, was it killed by you?"

Although the words were a question, the Yellow Wind King's tone was quite certain. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought it was the scheme of the other two demon kings, but I didn't expect it to be a provocation from you ignorant little things!"

Finally, the Yellow Wind King's tone turned grim again, saying, "Submit, and hand over half of your life-bound soul, or die!"

From beginning to end, King Yellow Wind was just talking to himself, because he didn't think these little demons had any right to bargain with him.

Nasus, his usual smile gone, said, "What an annoying guy."

Little Liuli let out a soft "eh" in agreement.

Spike's gaze was indifferent, without much effort.

Compared to the three dogs, Ta Lei performed rather poorly. Although it stood beside the three dogs, it seemed to have encountered its natural enemy when faced with the terrifying pressure of the Yellow Wind King. Its body, soul, mind, and will all trembled involuntarily. This was its instinct warning it to run! Run without hesitation!

However, to Spike and the others' surprise, even though he looked like he was about to cry from fright, Raider had no intention of running away. Instead, he suppressed his instincts and stayed by Spike and the others' side.

Nasus said, "No need for further words, let's hurry up and take them down, then go and claim our share!"

"Woof!"

Without saying a word, Spike roared, his body swelled up, and he pounced directly at the Yellow Wind King.

Little Liuli and Nasus followed closely behind, each displaying their unique abilities.

At this moment, on one side were the powerful Yellow Wind King, two great demons from the Immortal Realm, and an endless array of demon soldiers and generals, while on the other side were three dogs roaring and charging forward.

This scene inexplicably evoked a sense of desolation and tragedy in the viewer.

At least, the Thunderclap was already in tears, but no matter how much it roared and cursed in its heart, the trembling of its body and soul prevented it from moving an inch.

Seeing this scene, King Yellow Wind felt no sense of tragedy, but rather some anger. Spike and the others' provocation seemed to indicate that his majesty as King Yellow Wind could no longer intimidate even some unknown little monsters.

The snake secretly covered its mouth and let out a faint chuckle.

King Huangfeng glared at the snake, but since it was a subordinate demon immortal, he wouldn't punish it for such a small matter. He turned to look at the ancient elephant on the other side.

The ancient elephant understood, its mouth split open, revealing sharp, white teeth. With a sway, it transformed into a colossal elephant that could support the sky. It raised one leg, and it was as if a mountain was pressing down, about to crush Spike and the others to dust.

"Woof!"

Seeing this, Spike roared again and unleashed his supernatural power. With the blessing of the [Battle Body], his body expanded and grew even larger. Although it did not reach the size of the giant elephant that supports the sky, it was about half the size of the latter.

"Boom!~"

The collision of claws and elephant hooves created a tremendous force that caused the space itself to tremble, spreading out in tangible ripples.

At the center of the collision, space was torn and twisted into a spiral shape, with cracks appearing on both claws and hooves.

The aftershocks of the force swept across the area, causing the ground within a radius of a hundred miles to collapse downwards by hundreds of meters, while the mountains that passed by were also forcibly flattened.

The battle formation of 200,000 demon soldiers and generals released a hazy glow, easily blocking the aftershocks.

This is one of the characteristics of the immortal realm. Because the cultivation system is highly developed, even the crude demon race forces know some battle formation techniques. Moreover, generally speaking, the larger the force, the more sophisticated the battle formation techniques they master.

With war as an aid, not only can damage be minimized when clearing out small and medium-sized forces, creating an overwhelming momentum, but the battle formations composed of elite cultivator armies can also play a significant role when fighting against forces of the same level.

"Boom!~"

The colossal elephant staggered back a step, while Spike was sent flying a distance, clearly demonstrating the difference in their strength.

Even so, Spike's performance surprised the Giant Elephant. It should be noted that the Giant Elephant is an ancient and unique species. Not only is it born with divine strength, but as its strength increases, it also awakens several supernatural abilities related to power. With the combination of these abilities, the Giant Elephant's power often has an absolutely overwhelming advantage among those of the same level.

And Spike? Just by looking at his size, you can tell that the dog isn't known for his strength.

Since he was stopped by a worthy opponent, Spike simply stopped charging and focused on fighting the giant elephant.

Little Liuli and Nasus crossed the battlefield and continued their charge towards King Yellow Wind.

This time, without the Yellow Wind King's order, the Snake slithered out first, waving its sleeves, and countless hissing sounds rang out. Anyone who heard it felt as if countless illusory snakes were constantly crawling into their brains, making them want to open their brains and search inside to see if there were any foreign objects.

With the anchor point in place, and given that both Xiaoli and Nasus are experts in this field, they naturally wouldn't be affected by this mere mental attack.

However, the two dogs also understood that while it wasn't impossible for them to fight against a powerful demon immortal with their individual strength, it wouldn't be an easy task either. They would only be able to finish the battle quickly if they were given more time to cultivate their newly acquired supernatural abilities more thoroughly.

Moreover, the demon immortal in front of us is not alone; she has 200,000 demon soldiers and generals behind her, as well as... the Yellow Wind King!

and so……

Nasus looked at Xiao Liuli, and Xiao Liuli looked at Nasus in return.
