Chapter 168: Chapter 170: Close the Door and Release the Dogs

The agony made the Demon Lord even more deranged, as if it had stirred the ferocity in his very bones.

He arrogantly pointed at the Tribulation Cloud in the sky and cursed loudly.

"If you have the guts, strike me dead. If you can’t, I will someday exterminate the entire Mortal World."

Even though he was missing a head and an arm, the crazed Demon Lord seemed even more terrifying than before.

Mu Can clenched his fists tightly. If they could not slay the Demon Lord today, and he successfully escaped after overcoming his tribulation,

he believed that the whole Mortal World would fall into chaos.

Could the Demon Lord withstand the tenth Heavenly Tribulation?

The Tribulation Cloud in the sky was silent, as though brewing a stronger, final strike.

The entire sky turned golden.

The strike that would determine life or death was within this last Destructive Heavenly Thunder.

The Demon Lord, with his violent nature, actually approached the sky this time, floating mid-air, waiting for the last Heavenly Thunder.

Life and death might just be in this instant.

And the golden Tribulation Cloud in the sky was slowly shrinking as if consolidating all its energy.

The terrifying aura was so heavy that even Mu Can felt the pressure weighing him down.

It was imaginable what tremendous pressure the Demon Lord below faced.

When all the Tribulation Clouds condensed together, a golden pearl appeared in the sky.

Slowly it smashed down towards the Demon Lord, who was ascending into the sky.

In the end, the Destructive Heavenly Thunder appeared in the form of a pearl.

When the Destructive Heavenly Thunder and the Demon Lord met, a burst of intense energy erupted, turning the entire sky golden.

Golden lightning spewed from the pearl, tearing through space itself, creating temporal rifts in the air.

In the midst of this fearsome Destructive Heavenly Thunder was the figure of the Demon Lord, lacking a head and an arm.

"It’s truly too terrifying," Mu Can couldn’t help but exclaim. Under such a fierce energy outburst, the original Mingyang City had completely turned into a gigantic pit.

"Daddy, can he withstand it?" asked Bun Bun, looking at the Demon Lord with a worried face.

It wasn’t that he hoped the Demon Lord would successfully overcome the tribulation, but rather that he hoped the Demon Lord would be eradicated by the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Prepare for battle. If the Demon Lord truly survives this Destructive Heavenly Thunder, then the remaining battle will be our affair. We must slay him here. Otherwise, the Mortal World will suffer untold misery." Purple Cloud nodded. Although they were both of Venerable rank, Purple Cloud’s combat strength was obviously not as fierce as the Demon Lord’s due to her focus on Alchemy.

The Demon Lord’s huge figure in midair endured the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation. With a loud noise, another arm of the Demon Lord completely vanished. But the Destructive Heavenly Thunder didn’t seem to weaken at all. The Demon Lord let out a painful howl, his skin shining with golden light, the thunder coursing along his body as if alive.

"Ah, I am immortal." The Demon Lord used all his strength, desperately protecting himself. Struggling bitterly amid the thunderous ordeal.

He had gone through untold hardships to reach the Mortal World. He was not willing to perish in the Heavenly Tribulation like this. He wanted to turn the Mortal World into his second homeland. The Demon World was already facing shattering. Only the demonic cultivators who had reached the Mortal World could continue to survive here.

At this moment, the Demon Lord could no longer afford to think too much. The immense pain stripped him of his ability to think. He could only desperately control the last of his Demonic Qi within his body to protect what was left of his mutilated self.

"Yun, how strong exactly are demon cultivators of this level? This Destructive Heavenly Thunder couldn’t even deal with him. If there are other places where a Demon Lord descends, can the Mortal World win this fight?" Mu Can’s heart was full of worry. His friends were still at the Immortal Ancient Academy, and the members of the Mu Family were also within the Nanyuan Empire. These were the people he couldn’t bear to part with.

It seemed that the Demon World invasion had already affected the entire Mortal World.

During the time he had left. Why had such earth-shattering changes occurred in the Mortal World?

Purple Cloud shook his head. According to the rumors in the Immortal World, the Mortal World is a special place where a secret is hidden that could change the pattern of the Three Realms.

That is also the reason why the Demon World has been trying by all means to descend into the Mortal World.

The strength of the Mortal World is not as weak as it appears. Here lies a power that even the Immortal World finds terrifying.

In the legends, the Mortal World hides peerless masters capable of even suppressing the Immortal Venerable of the Immortal World.

Therefore, even though the Demon World has descended, there is still a battle to be fought. But the matter of urgency is that Mu Can and the others must first eliminate the Demon Lord before them.

As they spoke, the Demon Lord’s legs were completely obliterated by the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Demon Lord, left with only a head and torso, was still struggling desperately within the Heavenly Tribulation, demonstrating such a formidable Life Force.

"It’s too strong. Even with only a head left, he can still survive. How terrifying is this Demon Lord, exactly?" Mu Can’s expression was tense. The power of the Demon Lord was beyond his imagination.

"Brat, get ready. If he can survive this Destructive Heavenly Thunder, then toss the Reincarnation Pearl from your body at him," Purple Cloud whispered his instruction.

"Woof woof woof, who’s going to throw me?" The voice of the Soul Pearl appeared, emanating from Mu Can’s body.

Upon hearing that it was about to be thrown, the pearl immediately jumped out.

"I thought I was the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl, but it turns out I’m not. However, I’ll tell you this, since the brat is the owner of the Reincarnation Pearl, you have to listen to him."

Purple Cloud looked on with complicated emotions at the Demon Lord still struggling within the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation was nearing its end, and the Demon Lord was left with only a head full of wounds.

It was the head in the middle with a long horn.

"Ha ha ha, so what if you are the will of the Mortal World. You still couldn’t eliminate me; since you can’t do it, the whole Mortal World will have to accept my fury." Although only a head remained, the momentum of the Demon Lord had not diminished at all.

On the contrary, surviving the Destructive Heavenly Thunder made him even more excited.

"Toss!"

Hearing Purple Cloud’s words, Mu Can instantly threw the Reincarnation Pearl with all his might.

"Woof woof woof." The Reincarnation Pearl, barking loudly, flew toward the Demon Lord, who was reduced to only a head.

Boom!

They collided fiercely.

"Aow! Who is it?"

With an angry howl from the Demon Lord, a pearl was biting on his ear.

The reply to the Demon Lord was a dog’s bark.

With a peculiar pearl hanging from his ear, the Demon Lord found his Life Force gradually draining away.

The Demon Lord was no longer composed and seemed even more afraid than before.

There was a chance of survival from the Heavenly Tribulation, but this pearl seemed intent on sucking him dry.

"Woof woof woof, I’ll bite you to death, I’ll bite you to death," the Reincarnation Pearl shouted while sucking vigorously.

Mu Can and the others were stunned.
