Fierce Battle with the Radiant King (Part I)

Even after killing him, they could rescue many clan members. The Purgatory Demon King was also a powerful figure, but after consecutive fierce battles, he was also nearing the end of his tether.

With a roar, his body grew several feet taller, and a beast-like sound echoed:

"Purgatory Burning Heaven!"

Yet another ultimate move. Molten flames appeared across the sky, condensing into a torrent that surged toward the Holy Radiance King.

"We decree, space freeze."

Lei Dong also managed to use his vast divine sense to cast the Mantra Technique once more.

Although this Mantra Technique had countless miraculous uses, the burden on his divine sense was also immense. At this critical juncture, Lei Dong did not care whether he would suffer a backlash.

Having restrained the Holy Radiance King, the Judgment King also resolved to unleash the Judgment Sword once more, transforming into a streak of lightning that shot toward the Holy Radiance King. With the Purgatory Demon King striking together and Lei Dong controlling the Holy Radiance King, he would surely die without a doubt.

Suddenly, a flash of rosy light appeared as a woman threw herself forward, casting a shield to block in front of the Holy Radiance King:

"Liu Yue!"

The Judgment King let out a sorrowful cry, forcefully redirecting his sword light to the side, brushing past the Flowing Moon King.

But the Purgatory Demon King showed no mercy, his "Purgatory Burning Heaven" striking the Flowing Moon King directly.

What was the Purgatory Demon King's strength? He was at the High-Stage Deity Transformation level. His desperate, full-strength strike was far more powerful than Lei Dong's.

This strike shattered all of the Flowing Moon King's surrounding defenses, rupturing her meridians and crushing her Primordial Spirit, sending her flying back to crash into the Holy Radiance King. *Thud!* The Holy Radiance King broke free from the frozen space. His face turned mad as he hastily caught the Flowing Moon King, pulling out the Divine Water of Life and pouring it into her mouth, perhaps hoping to grant her a brief moment of lucidity before death.

With blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, the Flowing Moon King's pale face gradually turned rosy, and her eyes looked at the Holy Radiance King with deep affection. But before she could speak, the flames the Purgatory Demon King had blasted into her Primordial Spirit suddenly flared up.

In that instant, the Flowing Moon King's Primordial Spirit was completely incinerated within the fire, leaving behind only a lifeless corpse.

Seeing this, the Judgment King's face turned pale. Originally, she had thought the Holy Radiance King had used heretical arts to control the Flowing Moon King's feelings.

However, witnessing this scene, the Judgment King was no longer so sure.

Heretical arts were, after all, just heretical arts. They could control a person's body and even their thoughts, but they could not truly control their feelings.

Although the Flowing Moon King had not had time to utter her final words, the Judgment King could guess a few parts from her gaze:

"Purgatory Old Demon!" the Holy Radiance King roared ferociously. "This king wants you dead!"

He slowly stored the Flowing Moon King's body into his storage ring. A body without life could naturally be stored in a spatial ring.

"Haha, Holy Radiance old boy, your luck is not bad. You had a woman to block a fatal strike for you," the Purgatory Demon King said coldly, feeling a bit of regret for killing the Flowing Moon King. "This king wants to see how many more women are willing to block for you."

The Holy Radiance King said no more. Drawing the Holy Radiance Sword hidden within his Primordial Spirit, he charged forward. Although the Purgatory Demon King had fought continuously and had just unleashed his ultimate move, leaving him at the end of his tether, he showed no fear, conjuring a flame battle saber to meet him.

"Judgment, war is war," Lei Dong said calmly after swallowing a few medicinal pills. "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. If the Holy Radiance King does not die, many of our people will."

The Judgment King also took a deep breath, nodding heavily. "I know." With that, she resolutely raised the Judgment Sword and joined forces with the Purgatory Demon King to attack the Holy Radiance King, burying the grief over Liu Yue's death deep within her heart.

At the same time, Lei Dong's six Deity Transformation Hidden Dragon Soldiers also arrived, attacking the Holy Radiance King with cold fury. Lei Dong coordinated the battle from the side. The old fellow Holy Radiance King was extremely formidable, with many trump cards left.

To intercept and kill him naturally required extreme caution. Sure enough, even though the Holy Radiance King was at the end of his tether, he still displayed a powerful aura. To protect his life, he threw out all kinds of bizarre talismans and pills, displaying a wealth that left others dumbfounded. However, no matter what tricks he played, the High-Stage Deity Transformation Purgatory Demon King was always the first to firmly block him, forcing him into a corner.

Meanwhile, Lei Dong also observed an increasingly powerful aura, with golden light and black Qi intertwining around the Radiant King. No, they couldn't wait until the Holy Radiance King was dead to act.

Once that Demon King devoured the Mind-Snatcher Demon and the Radiant King, he would naturally no longer be controlled by the Holy Radiance King. It seemed the Demon King was gradually gaining the upper hand. Finally, unable to hold back, Lei Dong opened his Grotto-Heaven once more.

A neatly lined Ghost Army that had been waiting for orders appeared.

"Kill them with your strongest attacks," Lei Dong ordered through his divine sense. The powerful Ghost King-level army quickly responded, launching attacks toward the Radiant King, who was enveloped in golden light and black Qi.

Just then, hundreds of Nether Ghosts were blasted to pieces. The Fierce Ghost Army was different from the Hidden Dragon Army; although they also had training, their coordination was inferior to the Hidden Dragon Army, and they could not form a perfect cooperative formation to strike.

Among them, many did not understand long-range spells. *Boom, boom, boom!* In a series of continuous explosions, the Holy Radiance King seemed to be injured, rapidly flying backward to dodge the vast majority of the spell attacks. He let out a monster-like cry, a chill rising in his heart: "Brat, you are courting death!"

The golden light and black mist on the Radiant King's body withdrew into his wings. Although his armor was damaged, his face had returned to normal, but his expression was cold to the extreme, with one golden eye and one black eye.

Because of this, his wings had also deformed, one turning golden and the other black. His original Radiant King temperament instantly became extremely eerie.

With a flap of his wings, his figure turned into a phantom that even Lei Dong found hard to track. He rapidly charged into the Fierce Ghost Army, his sword and claws slashing out to slaughter the elite Ghost Kings. These Ghost Kings found it extremely difficult to catch him. Seeing that in just a few short breaths, more than ten Ghost Kings had suffered and met a tragic end, Lei Dong's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
