Not a single demon was willing to face or block the nine colossal black fireballs, including the demon gods. They had all witnessed the Invisible Demon God Vine’s tragic fate. By suddenly speeding up, the huge fireballs made them all want to run away quickly.
However, the fireballs that floated through the air slowly before had now attained shocking speed. The fireball at the very front had basically charged into the most densely-packed area of demons from before in the blink of an eye. Of course, the demons still ended up scattering. They were not hit by it.
From suddenly erupting with speed to instantly halting, the movements of the huge fireballs only seemed stranger and stranger. In the moment it stopped, the second black fireball arrived and they collided together.
The scattering demons could not help but become shocked. They could not afford to flee any longer. They all turned around in a hurry and put up their strongest defences. Just how terrifying would the attack created by the collision of the fireballs be?
However, the two fireballs did not explode after colliding. However, the demon powerhouses all shivered from the bottom of their hearts when they saw what happened next. Basically all of the nearby demon gods made the same decision, immediately using their demon god pillars to teleport. They returned to their demon god pillars.
Indeed, the two black fireballs did not explode after colliding. However, they fused together instead. The two of them became something even larger. In a short while, the other seven fireballs caught up from behind and they all became a part of the new, colossal ball of fire.
When all of the black fireballs combined over the span of a few seconds, they turned into a terrifying existence over thirty meters wide. The demon powerhouses all felt like they were suffocating, actually kind of like when they were facing the Demon God Emperor.
“Ah! My friends, farewell,” Lin Xin waved his Eternal Dragon’s Fire with a pleasant smile. In the next moment, a strange, ripping sound appeared from the centre of the terrifying fireball.
A strange, black light suddenly surged. It did not cover a particularly large range, only around five hundred meters across, just a certain distance away from the powerhouses of the Temple Union. However, this black light had appeared quickly and vanished just as quickly. It took only three to five seconds from beginning to end.
What everyone saw was that in the first second, whether it was the eighth step Hell Demons, Fiends, Moon Demons, Star Demons, or the ninth step Devil Dragon squads, they were all vaporised into mist within the range that the black light covered. In the second second after the black light had appeared, all of the mist rose up, vanishing just like steam. They did not even leave behind their magic crystals. They just vanished into thin air.
The demon gods could escape using their demon god pillars, but the other demons could not! The black light that spanned a width of five hundred meters swept past a hundred demons of the eighth step, as well as over a dozen Devil Dragon squads. They completely vanished after being swallowed by the black light. Whether it were the Devil Dragons with astonishing defence, the prophetic Star Demons or the Moon Demons that possessed both physical and magical prowess, there was nothing they could do before the strange black light.
The attack was just too terrifying. Even though the demons had lost a few demon gods earlier, this was the first time they had suffered such a great loss all at once since the battle had begun.
Lin Xin said painfully, “What a waste, what a great waste! All those good materials are gone! What a pity. Though, don’t you all think that the technique I just created is very impressive? Let me think about it. I’ll just call it the Eclipse of Navagraha. What do you think about it? Wahaha, I’ve such a genius.”
If it weren’t for the fact that the members of the Bright Glimmer of Hope were unable to speak just in case of making any mistakes in the boosting process, they really did want to give him a beating.
Under the effects of the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pill, Lin Xin’s cultivation had been elevated to the peak of the ninth rank of the ninth step, which completely ignited his mood. He was in a state of abnormal excitement. His natural humour and his hatred for the demons combined into a special emotion.
While he was praising himself, everyone would admit he was a genius. Through the powers of the Cojoined Spiritual Boosting Pill, he had come up with a completely new technique that suited it completely in such a short amount of time. Just the talent to achieve that was exceptional. Boosting his spiritual energy was the correct decision of the Bright Glimmer of Hope. If it was Cai’er and Chen Ying’er instead, it was impossible for them to deal such a blow to the demons so quickly.
The Eclipse of Navagraha was just too destructive, such that even the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God noticed what was happening. Their clansmen were being slaughtered as well. And, they had lost over ten percent of the demon army’s forces just from that! Moreover, the current Lin Xin made them feel threatened.
Waving the Eternal Dragon’s Fire and looking at the crystal on the magic staff that had turned black under the influence of his own flames, Lin Xin smiled weirdly and pointed his staff at the demons in the distance. He called out, “Let me change my pose. Again.”
This time, another string of black fireballs immediately whistled out, flying toward the demons on the other side.
With the lesson from before, were there anyone who still wanted to remain in the range of his attack? In that moment, even the Devil Dragon squads began to panic. A purple light flashed through the eyes of the Moon Demon God Agares and a purple moon lit up behind him. With a flash, he broke free from Shu Yongxiao’s entanglement. At the same time, purple armour immediately covered his body, while the mark of a purple crescent moon appeared between his eyes. Twelve purple wings grew from his back. In the next moment, he appeared before Lin Xin’s string of fireballs. Bringing his hands together, he produced a purple crescent towards Lin Xin’s fireballs.
Ever since the battle had stared, Agares had never been using his full strength. Now, he finally could not afford to hold back anymore, even going as far as to use the demon god transformation. That was how great of a threat Lin Xin posed to the demons.
However, something that infuriated Agares happened very soon. Under the attack of his purple crescent moon, the seemingly-terrifying black fireballs actually popped like bubbles. Let alone their terrifying power from before, they were not dangerous at all. They were actually just illusions.
Lin Xin snickered at Agares, “Apologies! I’ve disappointed you. I’ve been playing with you. There’s no need to be so serious.”
As he said that, he waved the Eternal Dragon’s Fire to both sides and a streak of black fire shot out in all directions. These streaks of fire that seemed to be randomly unleashed, but they all seemed to have eyes, purposely targeting the demons that battled against the powerhouses of the Temple Union. Not only were they extraordinarily fast, they had locked onto their targets as well.
In just a short while, seven or eight demons were hit and they all vaporised.
Agares became stern. He had never thought the Bright Glimmer of Hope would be capable of a boosting method like this. Currently, Lin Xin had become like a monster after receiving the spiritual energy boost fro others. He was definitely the most powerful fire mage in the history of the humans. The black flames were so hot that even he felt extremely threatened, which was the reason why he had erupted. The morale of the demons had been drastically lowered, while their original advantage had been forcefully removed as well. Even the demon gods were hiding near their demon god pillars, afraid of coming out and becoming Lin Xin’s target.
If everything followed Agares’ original plan, he would have been overjoyed by this matter. At most, he would just feel pained by the deaths of his own clansmen. However, after Vassago’s reminder from earlier, he developed other thoughts about Long Haochen. As a result, he did not wish to see the demons become defeated just like this.
Raising both of his hands, they each held a meter-long, inch-wide crescent blades. The blades were completely purple as purple light pulsed on them like water ripples.
At this moment, the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God had completely unleashed their strength. Agares had broken free from Shu Yongxiao, but Vassago had dragged Shu Yongxiao into his own battle as well, preventing her from leaving. And even under these circumstances, Vassago had not undergone the demon god transformation.
If the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God had used their full strength since the beginning of the battle, the powerhouses of the Temple Union probably would have been defeated a long time ago.
Cold light flashed through Agares’ eyes and his twelve wings unfurled. His wings were not completely the same. When they all unfurled, they formed a huge circle. Shining with purple light, it seemed like a moon.
He held his blades beside his body and stared at Lin Xin.
The Moon Demon God’s gaze did not give off too great of a pressure, but it threatened Lin Xin like it had penetrated him, such that he stopped attacking the other demons. Pointing the Eternal Dragon’s Fire at Agares, he made a provoking gesture like he was challenging the Moon Demon God.
Agares snorted coldly and his twelve wings lit up simultaneously. Immediately, a huge streak of purple light, as wide as his body, surged towards Lin Xin like moonlight.
The black sun over Lin Xin’s head basically lit up at the same time and a huge stream of fire went to receive Agares’ attack.
The black and purple immediately merged in the air, erupting terrifyingly.
Lin Xin remained standing where he was, without moving at all, but to his surprise, Agares’s shoulder only swayed once. Agares had not lost the upper hand by much at all.
