Chapter 2452 Fighting Owen(3)

After his breakthrough, Yuan immediately activated Demon Sealing Zone, forming a barrier around himself and Owen.

”This trick again?! How many times do I have to destroy it before you learn that it wonʼt contain me?!” Owen sneered as he struck the barrier, expecting it to shatter as easily as before. But when his Bone Technique slammed into the Demon Sealing Zone, it didnʼt collapse in a single blow. Instead, it only produced a thin crack—one that mended itself in the blink of an eye.

”What?!”

Owenʼs eyes widened with surprise. He couldnʼt fathom how the difference of a single level could be this vast, and he was beginning to doubt whether Yuan was actually going all out before.

However, even though Yuanʼs Soul Strength witnessed a tremendous growth from his breakthrough, it was the only thing that really had a drastic difference, as everything else was lackluster in comparison.

ʼI guess Dena was right—that I will slowly regain the Soul Strength I gained during the phenomenon as my cultivation increases,ʼ Yuan thought to himself.

And since his Demon Sealing Aura was tied to his Soul Strength, his Demon Sealing Techniques had become powerful enough to truly affect Absolute Gods, where before, they were barely effective.

However, even though his Demon Sealing Techniques were finally effective, he was still nowhere near strong enough to overpower Owen without using Eternal Essence.

Owen, realizing this, no longer wanted to slowly torture Yuan to death and decided to try and finish Yuan as quickly as possible.

Now that he had no further interest in keeping Yuan alive, Owen abandoned all restraint and unleashed his full cultivation as he clashed with him.

”Demon Annihilation Sword,” Yuan muttered.

In the next instant, the Demon Annihilation Sword, who was with Lev and the others, abruptly vanished into thin air, before reappearing at Yuanʼs side.

”Who the hell are you and where did you come from?!” Owen halted his movement to analyze the newcomer.

”Youʼre not a living being but a treasure…?” Owen could hardly believe his eyes after realizing her true form, as heʼd never seen a treasure take the form of a human before.

”Master, can I devour him?” The Demon Annihilation Sword asked as she pointed at Owen.

”Not entirely, but you can take some small bites out of him,” Yuan said. ”Just make sure you donʼt kill him.”

The Demon Annihilation Sword nodded, but before she went to confront Owen, she extended her arm toward Yuan and handed something to him.

”This is…?”

Yuan looked at the object she handed him with raised eyebrows.

It was a small, round object resembling a marble. Moreover, it was something he knew very well, as he had consumed many of them before.

”Where did you get this Demon Core?” Yuan asked her. ”And who does it belong to?”

The object she handed him was a Demon Core, and it contained an immense amount of energy—far more than any Demon Core heʼd consumed before. Of course, this included the Demon Emperorsʼ Demon Cores.

”This belongs to the one I just finished consuming,” she said.

”The one you just consumed? That would mean it belongs to… Supreme Ruler Exosso…?” Yuan stared at her with wide eyes.

As far as he was aware, Supreme Ruler Exosso didnʼt leave behind a Demon Core after his death, so how did she acquire it?

Unfortunately, Yuan didnʼt have the time to ponder about it, and the Demon Annihilation Sword went to confront Owen before he could ask any more questions.

Although Yuan had planned on fighting Owen with the Demon Annihilation Sword, he decided to let her handle him for the beginning.

”Take care of him for a bit,” Yuan said to her.

”Yes, Master!”

The next moment, Yuan lifted the fingers clutching Supreme Ruler Exossoʼs Demon Core to his lips and swallowed it without the slightest hesitation.

Yuan immediately felt his bones reforming, growing denser and tougher.

However, that wasnʼt all, as his cultivation also started to climb again, swiftly approaching the third level of God Ascension.

Even though he had just entered the second level of God Ascension, the sheer amount of spiritual energy heʼd obtained from the Blood Essences was enough to push his cultivation close to the third level right after his breakthrough.

Soon, heʼd acquired enough spiritual energy to enter the third level.

Yuan considered keeping his cultivation at the second level, but if he wanted to capture Owen, heʼd need to seal him, and in order to do that, he must strengthen his Demon Sealing Aura—his Soul Strength.

Thus, he decided to have the breakthrough now.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan immediately made his attempt, and thanks to his past experience, he succeeded on the first try with ease.

Within moments after consuming the Demon Core, Yuan stepped into the third level of God Ascension, mere minutes after entering the second level.

Once again, Yuan felt the same sensation from his previous breakthrough.

Immediately after his breakthrough, Yuan wasted no time joining the Demon Annihilation Swordʼs battle with Owen.

Yuan unleashed the Demon Sealing Zoneʼs true potential.

”Not this bullshit again!”

Owen unleashed his strongest attack against the barrier, but to his shock, he couldnʼt even produce a single crack this time.

However, Yuan wasnʼt done.

Millions of glowing swords materialized in the sky, covering it like a blanket.

”Have some of my Demon Sealing Aura,” Yuan said aloud as he started transferring his Demon Sealing Aura to the Demon Annihilation Sword, fueling it with even more power.

”This is insane… How can a single being possess so much power…?” Owen muttered in a daze, as the fear he once held for Tian Chenyu—buried deep within his soul—began to resurface.

But he quickly snapped out of his daze and retrieved a small, round object from his spatial ring.
