System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

248: The molten remains appear, displaying the might of a commander.The Giant Skull Demon General fled for its life, its massive body smashing through countless low-level monsters blocking its path, carving a chaotic trail through the tide of demons.

It had been terrified by Ye Chen’s overbearing and peerless methods, which had backfired on the Soul-Devouring Demon General; only one thought remained in its mind—escape! Escape as far as possible!

However, just as it was about to rush out of the edge of the demon tide and vanish into the chaotic space further away—

”Useless trash.”

A low, hoarse cold snort, sounding like two red-hot rocks grinding against each other, resounded across the entire battlefield without warning.

This voice was not loud, but it carried a strange penetrative power and unquestionable majesty, instantly drowning out all the fighting and roars of the monsters on the battlefield, clearly entering the ears of every living creature, and even directly shaking their Souls!

The running Giant Skull Demon General’s massive body stiffened as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, and it immediately let out a wail of extreme misery!

From the seven orifices of its huge head, viscous black devilish blood gushed out, and its massive devilish body, as if drained of all strength, collapsed to the ground like a falling mountain of gold and jade, trembling, not even daring to raise its head!

”Marshal... spare me...” It let out a weak and fearful plea, a complete contrast to its previous ferocity.

It wasn’t just it; across the entire battlefield, the demon tide, which had originally fallen into Chaos due to the fall and flight of its main general, instantly became silent under this cold snort!

All the monsters, regardless of strength, stood frozen in place as if they had been solidified, bowing their heads deeply in a certain direction, showing absolute submission and fear!

Inside the Emerald Forest Realm, Elder Mu Huan and all the defending troops felt a suffocating pressure descend from thin air, as if the entire sky had collapsed, pressing heavily on their hearts, making it difficult even to breathe! Some of the wounded even fainted directly.

Ye Chen’s pupils constricted slightly, his hand holding the cracked Soul staff tightened, his gaze sharp as a sword, directed towards the deepest part of the demon tide.

There, the space rippled violently like water. The dense Devilish Qi parted to both sides, as if welcoming their king. A figure stepped out of the void, step by step, with a heavy and steady gait.

Its stature was not particularly huge, even shorter than the Giant Skull Demon General, about three zhang in height.

Its whole body presented a dark red texture, like cooled lava, covered with crisscrossing cracks, with crimson light faintly flowing deep within the cracks, as if containing destructive magma.

Its head resembled some kind of ferocious Dragon head, but it had no eyes, with only a constantly rotating, black flame-burning diamond-shaped crystal embedded in the center of its forehead.

It did not carry any obvious weapons, but those giant claws covered in dark red bone armor, with sharp, hook-like fingertips, caused the surrounding space to emit sounds of unbearable distortion as they moved gently.

With its appearance, a terrifying pressure, far deeper and more tyrannical than the Soul-Devouring Demon General, as if it could burn the heavens and earth and smelt all things, swept out like a tsunami!

Within this pressure, it contained not only the absolute power of the Peak of the Law Realm, but also the majesty of a commander who had long held a high position and controlled life and death!

It was the true vanguard marshal hidden behind the scenes, under the command of the Abyssal Lord—the Molten Bone Demon Marshal!

The Molten Bone Demon Marshal’s diamond-shaped crystal, burning with black flames, ”looked” at the Giant Skull Demon General kneeling and begging for mercy, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

”Fleeing in the face of battle, disrupting my army’s morale, trash has no value in existing.”

It slowly raised its right claw and gently clenched it towards the direction of the Giant Skull Demon General.

”No—!! Marshal, spare...” The Giant Skull Demon General let out a desperate roar.

But its plea came to an abrupt end.

Without any warning, the Giant Skull Demon General’s massive body suddenly burst forth with scorching dark red light from within!

The next moment, it was like a volcano that had been ignited, exploding with a roar! Countless shattered bones and flesh burning with devilish flames splattered everywhere, turning a large surrounding area into a sea of fire!

A Middle Stage of Law Realm Demon General was just like that, casually wiped out by its marshal as if pinching an insect to death!

Cold! Ruthless! Displaying absolute authority!

This scene added a bone-chilling coldness to the already deathly silent battlefield. All the monsters bowed their heads even lower, terrified to the extreme.

The Molten Bone Demon Marshal seemed to have only done a trivial thing; it slowly turned its eyeless head, the black flame crystal on its forehead firmly locking onto Ye Chen, who stood holding his staff within the barrier.

”Chaos... Walker.” Its voice was still hoarse and low, but carried a magical power that could pierce through illusion and reality, ”You were able to kill three of my generals in a row, and even backfire on the Soul-Devouring Demon General, you indeed have some ability. The Abyssal Lord is... very interested in you.”

Ye Chen’s heart was solemn. From the appearance of this Molten Bone Demon Marshal to the casual killing of the Giant Skull Demon General, the strength it displayed and its control over power were far beyond those of the previous demon generals. This was an extremely terrifying opponent!

”Interested?” Ye Chen suppressed the shock in his heart, his expression unchanged, and replied coldly, ”Do you want to capture me, study my ’Chaos’ secret, or turn me into a lackey of your Abyss?”

”Is there a difference?” The Molten Bone Demon Marshal took a step and walked unhurriedly towards the barrier of the Emerald Forest Realm. Every step it took, the ground beneath its feet turned into scorched earth, leaving a footprint burning with black flames. ”Resist, and you die. Submit, and perhaps you can receive the Abyssal Lord’s grace and become a member of my Abyss, building an eternal void together.”

Its tone was flat, yet it carried a matter-of-fact arrogance, as if stating an established fact.

”Eternal void?” Ye Chen sneered, a wisp of Chaos Qi at his fingertips winding around the Soul staff, the cracks on the staff being repaired at a visible speed, only the color becoming deeper and grayer, ”Viewing that deathly void as eternal is nothing more than the final self-consolation of you wretches who have been deprived of the meaning of ’existence’.”

”Stubborn.” The Molten Bone Demon Marshal stopped, standing outside the barrier, looking at Ye Chen across a thin layer of light screen. It raised the right claw that had just crushed the Giant Skull Demon General, and at its dark red fingertips, a point of extremely condensed energy burning with black flames began to gather.

That bit of energy was not large, but it made all the hairs on Ye Chen’s body stand on end! He felt that the destructive Law contained within it far surpassed the Bone-Splitting Demon General’s bone blade, and was even more condensed and restrained than that Dark Spear that had come from across the void!

”This turtle shell cannot protect you.”

The Molten Bone Demon Marshal said flatly, and the fingertip condensing the black flames tapped gently against the barrier light screen of the Emerald Forest Realm.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor was there a violent energy impact.

Just at the moment when the fingertip touched the light screen—

”Sss—!”

It was like a red-hot iron pressed onto thin ice! The barrier light screen, centered on the point of impact, instantly melted into a huge hole! Moreover, the edges of the melting point were burning with black flames, spreading towards the surroundings at an astonishing speed, crazily eroding and disintegrating the structure of the barrier!

Just one finger! The powerful barrier, which had condensed countless years of the Wood Spirit Clan’s hard work and relied on the Origin of the ancient tree of life for support, was easily pierced through as if it were made of paper, and was on the verge of rapid collapse!

”The barrier! The barrier has been broken!!”

”It’s over...”

Inside the Emerald Forest Realm, desperate exclamations rose one after another. The last reliance, in the face of absolute power, appeared so vulnerable!

Elder Mu Huan’s face was pale, looking at the rapidly expanding hole and the spreading black flames, his eyes filled with despair.

The Molten Bone Demon Marshal withdrew its finger, the black flame crystal ”looking” at Ye Chen and the ancient tree of life behind him, which had a withered aura.

”The game should end now.”

Its hoarse voice pronounced the final outcome.

”Either submit, or... turn into nothingness along with this fragile woodland.”

The terrifying might of the Demon Marshal, like a substantial mountain, pressed down with a roar upon the entire Emerald Forest Realm.
