Chapter 556: 428

The meteor fire rain’s meteorites were essentially fireballs formed from condensed flames, and Zheng Yichen possessed the power to materialize Light type forces. However, that ability was specific to Light type forces and could not be applied to other types of energy.

Therefore, these controlled souls had to laboriously gather the soil around them to sculpt a body for themselves while bearing the Hellfire. If the meteor fire rain could be enhanced to include a material aspect within the meteorites, the current problem would have been easier to solve.

How to turn the meteorites into real stones, that was a question to ask the fire dragon later on.

Now, those mud figures could also be used in combat.

"It’s just... time is limited," Zheng Yichen thought as he looked at those burning mud figures. Even though the souls that received his power boost only had their basic attributes increased and did not share abilities, they gained some of his resistance or adaptability on top of the boost in attributes.

Normal souls would quickly burn up upon contact with Hellfire, but these souls could withstand sufficient amounts of Hellfire. Although they would eventually burn up, there’s a difference between lasting a second and an hour.

This also meant that with further exploration of his soul control ability, he might indeed be able to temporarily bestow some special powers onto a controlled soul.

Counterfeit Hellfire bodies ablaze ran rampant through the alien demon army. They didn’t even need to attack directly; the Hellfire burning on their bodies posed a lethal threat to the nearby alien demons.

The scattered Hellfire around them could also replenish some of the consumption for these counterfeit Hellfire bodies.

And the initial meteor fire rain had wiped out more than half of the alien demons that had reached this place. If it weren’t for his desire to test his new move, the earlier meteor fire rain might have annihilated the entire alien demon army.

The range of this move was truly vast, especially after the additional dispersal of its power, which increased the covered area even more. He could even downgrade the meteor fire rain into the Fire Rain Technique, thereby extending the affected area several times, though the power would be as weak as rain.

Well, for those who can resist Hellfire, that is.

"It seems like we don’t need to take action," Qi Xiangyun commented as she observed the rampaging counterfeit Hellfire. They may have been knockoffs, but their size was not low, averaging three to four meters in height.

"Let’s test the sword," Liu Hongzhao stated crisply. Seeing no need for action, she was not content with just observing, and the Danqing Sword in her hand flashed with a blood glow. A Scarlet Shadow swiftly approached the alien demon army.

An alien demon with a fierce face attempted to intercept Liu Hongzhao, raising its hand to use martial arts it had mastered, but the Scarlet Shadow didn’t give it any real chance to act. It quickly brushed past the alien demon, leaving several bloodlines across its body.

Influenced by the power of the Supreme Demon, these alien demons were fearless and did not shrink back even when Liu Hongzhao joined the fray. Instead, they became even more aggressive.

"I’m going over too," Lin Yaoyao said eagerly as she charged at the alien demon army. When she had advanced a quarter of the way, a crimson electric shadow flashed by her side. Lin Yaoyao widened her eyes and sped up, but she could only watch the electric shadow getting further and further away.

Qi Xiangyun now moved in a straight line even faster than Liu Hongzhao, while Lin Yaoyao was the slowest of the three. By the time Lin Yaoyao had covered half the distance, Qi Xiangyun had turned into lightning, swiftly and shadow-like, weaving through the alien demon army.

Wherever she passed, remnants of crimson electricity were left behind. Many alien demons didn’t even have time to react before the crimson electric shadow snatched away their lives.

After Liu Hongzhao and Qi Xiangyun tore a large gap in the enemy lines, Lin Yaoyao finally arrived ’fashionably late.’ Raising her hand, she initiated the Earth Splitting Tremor Strike — cough, a sword Qi she released that caused the ground to fracture. The collapsing earth shook violently, killing the approaching alien demons.

Her constitution was both Water and Soil-earth type, allowing her to learn corresponding martial arts or spells twice as fast.

Water type martial arts were relatively less lethal, but they were very fluid in combat, flowing continuously like water. Some Water type techniques could also be turbulent; water could nurture quietly or turn into Tsunami.

Soil-earth martial arts were solid and stable, yet could also be ferocious. The Soil-earth type could support the heavens and bear the earth, or it could unleash devastating earthquakes.

Lin Yaoyao was satisfied with her constitutional attributes. Even as she studied medicine, with her martial arts mastered, she could be a supportive healer while delivering high damage at the same time. The dual nature of her learnt martial arts required her to spend more time practising and advancing.

Before mastery, she might just be a support, but once mastered, apart from being at a disadvantage in speed, she would lack nothing. She could deliver powerful attacks, provide support, and was also adept at grappling with Water and Soil-earth martial arts.

As the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate in this world, if she were alone, the pressure from various sides would certainly not allow her much time to consider such comprehensive development. However, she was fortunate to have strong companions by her side and... someone even stronger, the man she liked.

All of this afforded her ample time to grow.

Lin Yaoyao did not use Water type martial arts in battle. When near a river, it was better to utilize such techniques, but in a group battle, Water type could not play too significant a role – Water type sword techniques, no matter how smoothly natural, would require cutting down opponents one by one.

Soil-earth type martial arts, on the other hand, were different. The Sword Qi triggered a shockwave through the earth which was not lacking in attack range.

It’s just... too slow!

Lin Yaoyao could no longer see the figure of Liu Hongzhao’s Qi Xiangyun; all she could see was the rampaging blood storm and crimson lightning in the distance, those two who lacked supportive abilities but whose speed was faster than the other!

"..."

"The Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate is terrifying indeed!" A man watching the one-sided slaughter taking place in the distance twitched slightly at the corner of his eye. It was their first time witnessing the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate exert her strength in such a war.

Clearly, without expert fighters, armies meant nothing before them. The hill-breaking ballista? That thing currently seemed only effective against Lin Yaoyao; it was utterly pointless against Qi Xiangyun and Liu Hongzhao.

Can’t hit them...

Their speed was simply too fast. Lin Yaoyao’s speed was normal, matching that of standard light body techniques, so the hill-breaking ballista could be effective, but she wasn’t alone.

As for Zheng Yichen, they did not even bother to consider. After the meteor fire rain had cleared the field, in their eyes, Zheng Yichen was no different from a real Supreme Demon—a Supreme Demon hunting other Supreme Demons. Fortunately, he was on the side of the human race.

So some began to regret. Since the Daughters of Heaven’s Mandate were willing to "live in obscurity," they should have just let them be. Why did they insist on dragging the Daughters of Heaven’s Mandate into the world?

Regret as they might, there were still ways to make amends. Up to this point, the Daughters of Heaven’s Mandate had not shown any inclination to support a particular force.

"Stop watching, let’s move! Kill all these alien demons!!"

The main players had made their move; they couldn’t just sit idly by. They were at a numerical disadvantage, but they had a huge advantage in combat strength. The alien side had experts, but as soon as those experts appeared, they were blown away by Zheng Yichen’s spear.

A top-tier weapon from another world could also exert enough force in this world, and its power had been tested. The previous Army Decimating battle saber had been slightly damaged in that battle, but Dusk had taken care of that.

It was already repaired during the reinforcement process, and Zheng Yichen did not need to worry about the materials; that world itself provided them.

What was supposed to be a difficult war was now resolved with just some time, and Zheng Yichen hadn’t even personally taken to the field.

In Hell, the gathered Supreme Demons watched the war happening near Qi Family Town; their faces were different, but all displayed an indescribable solemnity. Once lofty Supreme Demons now had to look to one human for direction, and this human was not powerful when he first appeared.

But now, he was capable of hammering them down.

They had planned, once Zheng Yichen left, to restore some of the Supreme Demons to their prime and then kill this outsider human on his return. However, this time upon his appearance, Zheng Yichen was directly bashing these Supreme Demons.

One Supreme Demon against Zheng Yichen was just a giveaway, if two Supreme Demons, surely one would die and the other, if quick enough, might manage to escape.

"Let go of your own ideas and unite. Otherwise, we will have no chance." A Supreme Demon spoke solemnly. The method of consuming alien demons to buy time no longer worked; they could gather more alien demons, but since those were scattered far and wide, they couldn’t immediately bring in more once this batch was used up.

Hundreds of thousands of alien demons, with the physical quality of alien demons, were considered small experts before the Demon Flower disaster appeared. Even if they were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it would take a whole day to kill them, right?

But now they couldn’t last even a few hours.

As for the Supreme Demon servants, they had already been used up to restore to their prime. Looking at Zheng Yichen now, they even regretted taking action against the Battle Maniac Asura back then. Keeping the Battle Maniac Asura, there is no doubt he would now be their vanguard.

With the nature of the Battle Maniac Asura, faced with such a strong opponent, he would definitely fight enthusiastically. Then they could have used some Origin of Supreme Demon to enhance Battle Maniac Asura a bit, which wouldn’t have left them in such a passive situation now.

"I have no objection," another Supreme Demon said. It wanted to search for anomalies, but it had missed its chance as it was unwilling to give up its position as a Supreme Demon. Buying time was also to search for new anomalies, but those were too rare.

As for reincarnating and disguising as humans to avoid the hunt? That was the worst choice. Aside from some ’sacrificed’ Supreme Demons that had no choice, which of the remaining ones hadn’t suffered such humiliation?

But now they had to completely discard the arrogance of the Supreme Demons; otherwise, waiting for Zheng Yichen to come knocking door by door, none of them could expect to survive!

That damned Compass, with feedback from Heaven’s Mandate, had an ability to locate Supreme Demons, and it suppressed them ruthlessly.
