440: Chapter 440 Powerful to the Point of Despair

The moment the System's voice faded.

The gem instantly erupted with dazzling golden light.

Those rays shone onto the black cocoon, causing it to tremble violently before it began to melt away.

The assimilation process can be interrupted!

Only after the assimilation ends and the mind has been completely transformed would it be useless!

Chen Yi arrived at just the right time; Yan Jiuyue's consciousness had not yet been completely eroded, so she could still be saved.

It can only be said that it was fortunate he arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Under the radiance of the Holy Light, the black cocoon rapidly disintegrated.

Yan Jiuyue's figure reappeared. She sat slumped on the ground, pale-faced, but the darkness in her eyes had faded, and clarity had returned.

"Chen Yi—"

She looked at the young man before her, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chen Yi didn't say much, simply patting her shoulder gently: "Rest for a moment; leave the rest to me."

Then, he turned around and looked up at Miyamoto Tenzo.

The killing intent in his eyes was almost overflowing!

"Chen Yi? I didn't expect you to actually come!"

Although Miyamoto Tenzo was surprised, he was not panicked. Instead, he bared a cruel grin: "But that's fine. Since you're here, you might as well die here together!"

"Originally, Lord ZERO emphasized that this trump card must be saved for when Luo Qinghe appeared! Now it seems it won't be a waste to use it on you!"

"Demon-Corrupting Orb, appear!"

Miyamoto Tenzo injected spiritual power into a silver-white gem, which instantly erupted with brilliant light.

The Demon-Corrupting Orb!

It contained immense Devilish Qi. Any Demonic Beast infected by it would rapidly undergo metamorphosis and transform into a Demon Emperor!

This was also the source of Miyamoto Tenzo's confidence in attacking the Luo family.

Otherwise, with Luo Qinghe's Thirteenth Rank strength, he alone would have been enough to give them a hard time.

In an instant, endless Devilish Qi overflowed from the Demon-Corrupting Orb, enveloping the surrounding Demonic Beasts.

Ten, twenty, fifty—a full hundred Demonic Beasts began to undergo metamorphosis under the infection of the Devilish Qi. A terrifying aura of pressure instantly permeated the area, making it hard for people to breathe.

They all actually transformed into Demon Emperors?

And they were all Tenth Rank or higher!

Miyamoto Tenzo laughed triumphantly: "See that? This is the power bestowed by Lord ZERO! One hundred Demon Emperors, including many at the high-stage of the Eleventh Rank; even a Thirteenth Rank powerhouse would have to give way! Chen Yi, you are doomed today!"

However, there was no fear on Chen Yi's face. Instead, he revealed a hint of—mockery?

"Demon Emperors? To think such a treasure exists!"

"I wonder if they will drop a demon emperor crystal core or a magic beast crystal core when killed!"

Before his words had even faded, Chen Yi vanished from his spot.

By the time he reappeared, he was already in front of a Tenth Rank, tenth-stage Demon Emperor.

That Demon Emperor had just completed its metamorphosis and was roaring at the sky, venting its newly acquired power.

It hadn't even noticed Chen Yi's arrival.

Chen Yi didn't use any skills or weapons.

He simply struck out with his palm in a casual manner, without even a ripple of spiritual power.

"Puff!"

The Demon Emperor's body instantly shattered into pieces.

Black blood and fragments of internal organs splattered about, but before they could hit the ground, they were pulverized into dust by the aura radiating from Chen Yi.

Instant kill!

A Tenth Rank, tenth-stage Demon Emperor, just like that, killed in one strike!

At this moment, everyone was shocked!

Miyamoto Tenzo was dumbfounded on the spot!

What the hell is this?

Chen Yi, however, acted as if he had just done something trivial. With one step, he appeared before another Demon Emperor.

This time, he lifted his foot and kicked out casually.

"Boom!"

That Demon Emperor flew backward like a cannonball, slamming into the cliff face, its entire body embedded into the rock, shattering into pieces!

It was completely lifeless!

Another Demon Emperor perished!

Only then did the remaining Demon Emperors react, pouncing on Chen Yi from all directions.

They brandished their sharp claws and unleashed various skills, their terrifying attacks engulfing Chen Yi.

"Watch out!!!"

Yan Jiuyue, Lin Mengxue, and the other girls who had successfully broken through cried out in alarm.

However, Chen Yi did not move forward or backward a single step, nor did he adopt any defensive stance.

He just stood there, letting those attacks land on him.

Dark energy bombardment, claw tears, skill explosions—the terrifying attacks completely submerged Chen Yi's location, kicking up clouds of dust!

The ground was blasted into a huge crater!

A triumphant smile appeared on Miyamoto Tenzo's face!

No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly survive being besieged by ninety-eight Demon Emperors!

But the next second, his smile froze on his face.

The dust settled, and Chen Yi's figure reappeared.

He stood there, not even a corner of his clothes damaged.

Those attacks, more terrifying than a nuclear explosion, felt like a gentle breeze when they landed on him, leaving not even a trace.

No, that's not right—if one looked closely, one could see an extremely tiny wound on Chen Yi's wrist!

It was just like that tiny bleeding spot after getting a vaccine!

An ordinary person might not even feel it at all!

"How is this possible?"

Miyamoto Tenzo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, "How could he take that head-on?"

Chen Yi brushed the dust off his body, as if he had only gotten a bit of dirt on him.

Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Instantly, swords of cold ice appeared out of thin air above the heads of all the Demon Emperors.

The next second, the ice swords descended.

There was no sound, no explosion, only a dead silence.

The ninety-eight Demon Emperors were simultaneously pierced through the head by the ice swords and then frozen into ice sculptures!

Their faces still wore the ferocious expressions they had while attacking, but their life force had completely dissipated.

Subsequently, Chen Yi activated the Wind Barrier.

The invisible wind wall spread out from him as the center, shattering all the falling Demon Emperor ice sculptures!

When everything calmed down, an incredibly shocking scene appeared before everyone.

Chen Yi stood there unscathed, his breathing not even disordered.

Yet those Demon Emperors had all turned into ice crystals, dead as can be.

This, this, this, what on earth is this?

Miyamoto Tenzo was numb; his mind was blank.

These are Demon Emperors above the Tenth Rank, a whole army of Demon Emperors, a force that could easily kill the Spirit Beasts of a Twelfth Rank Beast Tamer, how could they just be instant-killed like this?

Come on, man, aren't you a Beast Tamer?

A support-type Beast Tamer!

Why are you so fierce too?

Not only Miyamoto Tenzo, but Lin Mengxue and the others were also stunned.

They knew Chen Yi was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be strong to this degree.

One hundred Tenth Rank Demon Emperors—even a Thirteenth Rank powerhouse would need to expend some effort to deal with them, yet Chen Yi just snapped his fingers and instant-killed them all.

What on earth has Chen Yi experienced in the past six months?

Yan Jiuyue recovered from her shock, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, he has become stronger again, becoming someone we can no longer catch up to.

But strangely, she didn't feel lost or inferior; instead, she felt incomparably proud and at ease.

This is the man she loves, powerful enough to protect everything, powerful enough to make enemies despair!
