Chapter 741: 547 Overturned Pot
But no matter what, as long as these great demons stood in his way, he must eliminate them one by one!
Bai E's gaze then settled on his next target—Proliferation.
The opponent's vibrant green aberrant muscles were its most obvious characteristic to outsiders.
It was also one of the Eternal Fiend Great Demons documented in the spiritual energy archives that Bai E had once researched, known for its unmatched proliferative abilities. However, due to the rapid speed of its proliferation, its form was extremely unstable, allowing it to exert a widely variable degree of strength.
With one demon, regret one city.
That was what it had accomplished during the time before the Empire's fall.
Similarly, the records stated that these great demons were even more formidable in the higher-dimensional spaces than when they descended into the material world.
Now, Bai E wanted to see just what level of strength such a great demon truly possessed.
The sword light flashed, and Bai E plunged headlong into the increasingly thick green mist, caused by the loss of the great demon.
The Blade of Law and Soul had absorbed enough essence to ascend and now took on an even more dazzling form.
[The Soul-Devouring Demonic Blade has absorbed a large amount of the target's essence, special attack upgrading in progress 5500/5000.]
[Blade of Law and Soul (Magic Blade): Blessed with radiance, this ornamental noble longsword has completed a mission's transformation. Starting now, it permanently possesses the attributes of eternal radiance—a demon banisher, Souldstream, +50% attack power against "Desire Fiends," +50% attack power against "Eternal Fiends," +30% attack power against "non-Four Sacred Beasts fiends," and all members under its wielder's command will ignore the laws of "Desire Fiends" and reduce 80% erosion from the "Eternal Fiend" divine power, unless they initiate "contact," "accept," or the sword bearer falls in battle first. Only those who sing the true name 'Blade of Law and Soul' can be permitted to wield it and unleash its full power.]
[Your skill—Strengthen*Magic Blade has successfully recorded the upgraded racial special attack properties (Blade of Law and Soul) (Tier 3): +50% attack power against "Desire Fiends"… From now on, when you wield any enchanted weapon, you can endow it with such special attack attributes. However, if you wish to further enhance the special attack effect, you must use that original "Primordial Blade" with which the leap was first made. Current Tier 3 special attack progress: 500/10000]
The high immunity to the Eternal Fiend divine power allowed Bai E to fight more freely under the plague of divine power without worrying about his "rapid recovery" ability, which was already struggling to keep up with the loss of blood.
The increased lethality against Eternal Fiends meant that every sword stroke Bai E delivered now was significantly more deadly.
The long-handled Wolf Fang Club clashed against Bai E's longsword, and "Proliferation," known for its immense strength, was instantaneously shaken back.
The battle-hardened Bai E naturally would not miss such a rare opportunity, following up like a relentless maggot.
The fast attack speed of light weapons allowed Bai E to unleash a flurry of sword lights that enveloped "Proliferation," each stroke leaving afterimages as if nine swords were striking in unison, dazzling everyone.
The evolution of the Blade of Law and Soul afforded Bai E a transformational boost, allowing him to dispatch a great demon even more swiftly than before.
[The Soul-Devouring Demonic Blade has absorbed a small amount of the target's essence, special attack upgrading in progress 3000/10000.]
In the end, Proliferation fell at Bai E's feet, and one by one, the great demons followed in its footsteps, leaving only the strongest "Unclean One," Sogros.
Bai E stood atop the corpse of another great demon he had just beheaded, which hadn't had time to dissipate into a vague mist, scanning his surroundings with his sword in hand.
The strength of these great demons was not up to the level described in those past records.
Perhaps the Empire's understanding of spiritual energy wielders had not been profound enough before it fell, but the ability needed to destroy a city was clearly not something these present-day great demons could achieve.
Perhaps it was because when they were summoned by the countless invisible Believers, they would receive a sort of "faith power" blessing? Could this blessing even allow Them to achieve a level of strength beyond Their original capacity in the high-dimensional space?
But why then do some records suggest that the Great Demons of high-dimensional space are far more terrifying than those in the material world?
The answer... seemed to be slowly revealing itself before his eyes.
It was unclear whether a certain threshold condition had been met after a long period of accumulation, or if the last remaining Great Demon had finally triggered some mechanism within its authority.
The unclean Sogros started to grow infinitely large right before his own eyes.
Under the observation of Heavenly Eye Spiritual Energy, it felt as if all the power of the garden was rapidly burrowing into its body from underneath.
The power of the garden... or rather, the power that once belonged to other Great Demons and had now returned to the garden.
Under the authority called "Eternal," all the power that had been collected was like a bowl of water, with each Great Demon having received a part of it.
Some received more, others less, which is why some Great Demons appeared stronger and some weaker.
But when there is only one "exhibitor" of these Great Demons left to the outside world, it can fully unleash the power of this bowl of water.
When there is only one invader to the material world, this Great Demon becomes the "representative" of its faction, capable of fully unleashing the power of this faction, regardless of whether this "representative's" name is "Proliferation," "Unclean," "Decay," or "Mutation."
And the only thing that can limit the power of an invading Great Demon is the number and quality of the Believers who summon it.
However, when a Great Demon is in the high-dimensional space, these Great Demons need to decide on a sole "exhibitor" to face opponents that normally each individual Great Demon would struggle with.
"Unclean" Sogros became this final exhibitor.
A formidable power began to cleanse the entire Eternal Garden, which was in turmoil, right before Bai E's eyes.
The surge of energy caused Bai E's Spiritual Energy to begin trembling instinctively.
High-dimensional space's appearance and essence.
Oftentimes, the assessment of strength is immediately apparent.
Feeling the sole remaining "Unclean" one's strength skyrocket, Bai E thought that perhaps it was time to see some results from this action today.
"Snap!"
Bai E, having invisibly reached into that large pot, suddenly kicked over the entire pot with a reverse kick.
The green, boiling liquid splashed all over the sky, and the eyes of the unclean Sogros, who was in the midst of receiving power, instantly widened, the flames of rage almost making the entire garden tremble.
"You mere mortal dare to touch the divine body of our father!?"
