System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

246: Crushing under the weight of the laws, the Soul-Eating One perished.Western node.

The Erosion Spirit Demon General’s massive, translucent, jellyfish-like body hovered in mid-air, its countless twisted tentacles dancing as it sprayed out large waves of ink-green corrosive energy rings.

These rings did not strike the barrier with violent impact but instead eroded and dissolved it silently like strong acid, causing the barrier’s light screen to thin at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the runes upon it flickered erratically, struggling to hold.

In its scarlet single eye (if that constantly writhing halo of light could be called an eye), a cruel and gleeful light flickered.

Destruction and erosion were its instincts; watching this resilient barrier gradually disintegrate under its power gave it immense satisfaction.

However, this sense of satisfaction froze instantly in the next moment!

A figure appeared without warning within the torrent of corrosive energy it had sprayed out!

The ink-green rings, which were enough to make ordinary Law Realm experts retreat and could even pollute Law, washed over the person, yet they parted and disintegrated on their own as if a stream were striking a reef, failing to cause even the slightest injury!

The person who arrived was naturally Ye Chen.

He was surrounded by a faint, grayish Qi flow that appeared thin but seemed to contain the essence of the world’s inception and immunity to all Laws.

When the Erosion Spirit Demon General’s vicious corrosive energy came into contact with this layer of Chaos Qi flow, the erosion rules contained within were directly assimilated and decomposed by the more Origin-based Chaos Law, turning into nothingness!

”What?!” The Erosion Spirit Demon General’s writhing single eye contracted violently, emitting a sharp mental fluctuation filled with horror!

Its famous Erosion Spirit Demon Light was actually ineffective against this person?!

Ye Chen was expressionless, his eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year glacial ice.

Without wasting words, he directly raised his right hand.

With his five fingers slightly spread, he aimed at the Erosion Spirit Demon General’s massive body and gently clenched his hand.

”Chaos... Imprisonment.”

His words carried the power of Law!

The space and time around the Erosion Spirit Demon General seemed to freeze instantly!

It was no longer a simple spatial freeze, but a deeper level of Law imprisonment!

It felt its connection to the Abyssal Origin being forcibly severed by a more magnificent and ancient power!

The Erosion Spirit Demon Light it had sprayed out stopped abruptly, its dancing tentacles froze in mid-air, and even its thoughts seemed to become sluggish!

It desperately urged its demon core, attempting to break free from this eerie restraint, but felt its own power like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to shake that invisible barrier in the slightest!

It had only felt this kind of absolute suppression when facing that vanguard commander!

”No! Impossible! What exactly are you?!” The Erosion Spirit Demon General emitted a fearful mental shriek.

Ye Chen did not answer.

He pressed his fingers together like a sword and slashed through the air towards the Erosion Spirit Demon General imprisoned in mid-air.

A seemingly plain and unadorned, only about a zhang long, grayish Sword Qi quietly emerged.

This Sword Qi was no longer as sharp and exposed as ”Chaos Heaven-Opening,” but rather restrained to the extreme; however, wherever it passed, space left behind a slender and stable black crack that could not heal for a long time, as if even the underlying rules constituting the world had been quietly ”erased” by this sword.

”Return to Void.”

Ye Chen spat out two cold words.

That grayish Sword Qi silently penetrated the imprisoned space-time and touched the Erosion Spirit Demon General’s translucent body.

There was no explosion, no roar.

Amidst the Erosion Spirit Demon General’s desperate mental fluctuations, its massive body, which was capable of withstanding multiple fierce attacks from the same rank, was like ice thrown into a raging fire; starting from the point of contact, it rapidly dissolved, decomposed, turned into the most primitive particles, and finally returned to nothingness!

Even its powerful demon core could not escape the fate of ”Returning to Void”!

The entire process was breathtakingly fast!

From Ye Chen’s appearance to raising his hand to imprison it, and then to the one-sword ”Return to Void,” it took only a short two or three breaths!

An Erosion Spirit Demon General of the Middle Stage of Law Realm, which had caused the Wood Spirit Clan endless headaches and consumed massive amounts of barrier energy, was thus... destroyed in body and Soul!

A moment of dead silence descended upon the battlefield.

Whether it was the crazily attacking monsters or the Wood Spirit Clan defenders struggling to hold on, all were stunned by this sudden, almost crushing scene!

Especially those Wood Spirit Clan warriors who had previously witnessed Ye Chen’s bloody battle with the Bone-Splitting Demon General; although he won, it had been tragic.

How could his strength become so terrifying after waking up from his coma?!

Killing a Middle Stage of Law Realm demon general was actually as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs?!

”Roar!!!”

On the north side, the Giant Skull Demon General, which was crazily hammering the barrier, let out a roar mixed with shock and rage!

It was connected by Aura to the Erosion Spirit Demon General and could clearly feel its companion’s instantaneous fall!

That Chaos Aura that made its heart palpitate made it feel an unprecedented crisis!

It suddenly abandoned the barrier, its massive body turning towards the west side; on that disproportionately huge head, its only giant mouth opened, revealing layers upon layers of sharp teeth like a meat grinder, while violent Devilish Qi gathered within, brewing a destructive strike!

However, Ye Chen did not even glance at it.

After killing the Erosion Spirit Demon General, his gaze was like the sharpest sword edge, instantly piercing through layers of Devilish Qi and space, firmly locking onto a shadow area deep within the demon tide that appeared calm but was actually surging with undercurrents!

”You’ve been watching for so long, it’s time to come out.”

Ye Chen’s voice was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure that clearly spread throughout the entire battlefield.

”Or are you saying that you only know how to hide in the shadows and sneak attack like a rat in a sewer?”

The moment his voice fell, that cold and resentful Aura that had been hiding in the shadows could finally no longer be perfectly concealed.

The demon tide parted like water, and a dense shadow that seemed capable of swallowing light slowly emerged and condensed.

Within the shadow, a slender and blurry figure gradually became clear.

It was draped in a tattered black cloak, its specific face unclear, with only two points of eerie green Soul fire jumping beneath the shadow of the hood.

In its hand, it held a Soul staff formed by the twisted and intertwined Souls of countless agonizing wails.

It was precisely the Soul-Devouring Demon General that had previously sneak-attacked Ye Chen and Qing Lin!

Its Aura was far deeper and more dangerous than that of Bone-Splitting and Erosion Spirit, having already reached the Late Stage of Law Realm!

Those two points of eerie green Soul fire stared fixedly at Ye Chen, filled with greed, resentment, and a trace of... unbelievable dread.

”Chaos... Walker...” The Soul-Devouring Demon General’s voice was dry and hoarse, like bones rubbing together, directly resounding in the depths of everyone’s Soul, ”Your Soul... is very special, very... delicious.”

”By devouring you, this King might perhaps catch a glimpse of the opportunity for transcendence!”

It finally no longer hid, referring to itself as ”this King,” clearly holding a transcendent status under the Abyssal Lord.

Facing this powerful enemy whose Aura far exceeded the previous ones, Ye Chen’s face remained calm, with only the Chaos Vortex in his eyes spinning more deeply.

”Want to devour me?” A cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth, ”I’m just afraid you don’t have teeth good enough for that.”

”Kill him! Lord Soul-Devouring! Kill him!!” The Giant Skull Demon General in the distance let out a violent roar, but it did not rashly step forward, seeming to be extremely wary of the Soul-Devouring Demon General, or perhaps it was waiting for orders.

The Soul-Devouring Demon General ignored the Giant Skull Demon General; it raised the Soul staff in its hand, and the shadows around it began to wriggle like living things, while countless shrill Soul wails suddenly amplified, turning into substantial sound waves that impacted everyone’s mind!

”Whether my teeth are good enough, you’ll know once you try... I will accept your Soul!”

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

And this time, what Ye Chen would have to face was a powerful enemy that had truly stepped into the Late Stage of Law Realm, as well as its Soul attacks that were impossible to guard against!
