Chapter 116: The Angel of Light

  ……

  "Soul Shackling Hand!" The demon king cackled with glee, the air around him seeming to tremble with fear. A dark claw materialized and shot towards Chen Mo's crown: "You little brat, you're to blame for delivering yourself to my doorstep! I'll extract your soul and refine it into a Soul Lantern, making you unable to live or die!"

  Chen Mo, who was slammed onto the altar, felt as if every bone and muscle in his body had shattered. Except for the heavy breathing and intense heartbeat, it seemed like his entire body didn't belong to him.

  Just then, Chen Mo closed his eyes slightly, breathed softly, and felt his heartbeat. A mysterious picture flashed in his mind, a picture that seemed familiar, as if he had seen it many times in his dreams.

  In the flashing screen, that small tender branch grew into a towering tree, with yellow leaves like butterflies and golden light shining brightly. On it were countless golden spherical fruits. When those fruits ripened and fell to the ground, they transformed into one after another strange yet beautiful illusory figures...

  Both curious and yearning.

  The demon king's eerie and ominous claws were about to land on Chen Mo's head.

  The powerless Mu Lingwei had painfully closed her beautiful eyes, with a desolate heart. Chen Mo, you go first, Master will soon come to accompany you.

  Little Eight, who was also on the verge of despair, suddenly opened its scarlet eyes, and vaguely, it seemed to have some hope. It smelled a kind of power, a kind of power that seemed to have been felt in the blood inheritance.

  Suddenly, a scorching light burst forth from Chen Mo's body. The speed of the light was almost as if it had ignored spatial obstacles, so fast that it left people stunned and unable to react.

  That terrifying demonic claw. Under the pure and scorching light, it seemed to melt away like snow in a fierce sun.

  Chen Mo surprisingly escaped unscathed.

  Between heaven and earth, a powerful energy of heaven and earth also burst forth.

  At the same time, a strange bright light emanated from Chen Mo's body, forming a dazzling white shield that rapidly rose and enveloped him.

  In the blink of an eye, a shield burst out with a brilliant light around Chen Mo's body, and he stood in it like a radiant god, shining in all directions and nurturing all things. The Great Demon King saw this and was like someone who had seen a ghost, hastily retreating backwards while muttering to himself: "What kind of background does this kid have? I've seen a ghost, I really have seen a ghost."

  This astonishing thing not only made Mulingwei astonished, Xiaobai was overjoyed, and even Chen Mo was also inexplicable, feeling this strange change, and had no idea what would happen next.

  At this moment, a protective shield enveloped Chen Mo's body. It slowly rose and gradually condensed into an illusory shadow above his head.

  That was a slender and beautiful girl, with slightly raised corners of her mouth, surrounded by dazzling hot light, long golden hair that reached her waist. Her delicate body emitted golden light, with a pair of huge white wings behind her back, symbolizing purity and beauty. She held a lightsaber in her hand, as if grasping the sword of justice.

  The power of light. All the evil spirits in the cave were swallowed up, and for a time, the cave was filled with warmth, peace, and comfort.

  It felt like clearing away clouds and mist, Chen Mo had a feeling of being reborn.

  "Angel of Light! How is this possible?" The Great Demon King roared in rage: "According to legend, the Light God Clan was destroyed millions of years ago. How can there still be an Angel of Light? This must be fake, it's definitely fake."

  A radiant angel, at the very least a Heavenly King's strength. Not some idiot like Scarlet Flame King who isn't even at the Heavenly stage yet but dares to call himself a king. But a true Heavenly King.

  If he were in his peak state as the Great Demon King, dealing with this Angel of Light would be no problem. However, now he was only a half-step away from the Heavenly Stage. This half-step was precisely the difference between heaven and earth.

  Just as the Great Demon King was shocked to the extreme, he saw that the winged girl's virtual shadow, with her jade hand slightly raised, shot out several rays of light like shooting stars, which fell on Chen Mo, Mu Lingwei, and Xiao Ba respectively.

  Under the illumination of this light, Chen Mo and Mu Lingwei's Xuan Qi in their bodies recovered rapidly. Every tendon and bone in their bodies was recovering at a speed that could be perceived.

  The little tortoise, who was almost on its last breath, under the illumination of the light, seemed to have woken up from hibernation, stretching out its head and limbs, basking in the warm colors, with a look of comfort on its turtle face.

  Something even more miraculous continued, the golden light-emitting virtual shadow girl swung her wings, like a slowly rising sun, shining in all directions. Then she slowly raised the golden blade in her hand, held it above her head, and in an instant, the sword of judgment of golden justice, swung towards the Great Demon King.

  A massive golden light burst out in an instant.

  Time seemed to have solidified, the Great Demon King's heart was already empty. Although he had never seen a living Light Angel, in the demon tribe's classics, there were the most detailed records of the Light Angel. In his panic, he retreated several steps, and when he couldn't retreat any further, he hastily cast a defensive spell.

  "Shield of the Underworld."

  A thick layer of black air swirls rapidly above the body.

  "Boom!"

  A deafening explosion rocked the cave, and under the impact of a massive golden light, Chen Mo and Mu Lingwei had to cover their eyes with both hands. Xiaogui directly withdrew his head into his shell.

  As the dust gradually settled, the two discovered that the Great Demon King was shrouded in a thick black protective shield. Under the angel's blow, it vanished into thin air, leaving only a disheveled and unkempt figure.

  "Cough...cough." The Great Demon King's face, which was covered in thick, wild flesh, contorted in a painful cough, with purple-red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

  Chen Mo watched in a daze, secretly thinking that it was incredibly powerful, really too powerful.

  Mulinwei was also stunned, this radiant angel had emerged from Chen Mo's body. How many secrets did his own disciple have on him?

  The demon king's face rose with a fierce killing intent, unexpectedly these people were so troublesome, he had no choice but to use his ultimate move, even if it meant destroying his physical body once again, and sinking into silence for another thousand years, he couldn't let his soul be extinguished.

  Besides, he had also seen through it. The radiant angel was not a real radiant angel, but just an illusory shadow without a solid body. If it were a radiant angel with complete strength, the previous blow would have blown itself up.

  Besides, after that one blow, her shadow had dimmed a lot and it was clear that she couldn't last long.

  "Hah, hah" a terrifying laughter echoed within the cave, immediately gathering a massive and eerie dark energy, carrying an aura of destruction, tearing through the mountain cave. The space was filled with enormous waves, the deafening sound of explosions, like the rumble of thunder, never-ending in one's ears.

  "Soul Devouring Sweep!"

  The Great Demon King let out a loud roar with all his might, bursting forth with all his power.

  Then, under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, a thick and intense demonic aura burst forth. Countless black air masses surged out from within, these demonic auras appearing and immediately exploding in all directions, covering the entire sky.

  That radiant angel also moved, its body flashing into three figures that stood separately in front of Chen Mo and the others.

  All the destructive forces were blocked by the angel of light. But it was also because of this that the angel of light had already begun to dissipate, gradually becoming transparent, and its strength was clearly about to be exhausted.

  Fortunately, the Great Demon King was severely injured by the Light Angel's counterattack earlier. This move, which seemed to be a desperate attempt, had also consumed too much of his energy, and as a result, his offense gradually weakened.

  Chen Mo and Mu Lingwei exchanged a glance, then tacitly nodded in unison.

  Chen Mo swiftly picked up Xiao Ba, and with a force like a flying brick, he smashed it towards the Great Demon King. Xiao Ba's limbs were tightly retracted into its shell, like a massive boulder being launched, meeting the continuously impacting dark energy head-on, rising steadily, with boundless power.

  The great demon king was enraged, it's simply a group of invincible strong brothers, especially this turtle, the most hateful one.

  With a "slap", the Great Demon King slapped his palm on Xiao Ba's back, but this detestable turtle actually bumped into his own chest.

  "Pffft!" Xiaobai swiftly stretched out his head and shot a "Raging Ocean Blue Wave" at the Great Demon King's red-and-black face, splashing him right in the face without wasting any water.

  "Damn it." The Great Demon King was enraged, and before he could wipe off the sticky liquid on his face, in a fit of rage, both hands lifted up the turtle and slammed it towards Chen Mo's direction.

  Taking advantage of the Great Demon King being completely attracted to Xiao Ba's hatred, Mu Lingwei made a swift move, and the Wanling Whip shot out again, with the momentum of a green dragon rushing out to sea, directly attacking the Great Demon King. As the vines approached, they quickly spread, entwining their roots around him, tightly locking the demon king in place.

  "Heaven and Earth are upside down!"

  In an instant, countless thorns burst out from the withered vines, piercing the devil king's chest. With a sudden tightening, a jet of black blood spurted out. The great demon king suffered heavy injuries.

  If not now, when?

  Chen Mo sprang up and sprinted forward, his feet trampling the vines as he rushed towards the Demon King like a ferocious leopard. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Demon King. The Demon King was tightly bound by the Ten Thousand Spirit Whip, struggling ceaselessly. A scarlet pupil stared at Chen Mo's fist, which was shooting straight for him, and suddenly enlarged...

  Chen Mo found a very comfortable posture and let out a loud whoop:

  "Kung Fu Devil!"

  Inside the furnace, rumbling sounds echoed, flames flickered, and at Chen Mo's angry roar, the cave began to shake. The extremely hard and masculine Ta Huang Thunder Path aura struck the Great Demon King, yet it carried a hint of mysterious meaning.

  The golden rooster subdues the demon, and the subdued one is you.

  "Ahh!" A heart-wrenching scream, a shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye emerged from Chi Yan Wang's body, attempting to escape in disarray. However, Chen Mo, who had been deceived once before, would not let him have his way. Under his sharp divine sense, the remnant soul had nowhere to hide, and with another punch, the shadow was obliterated amidst Chen Mo's heavy blow, letting out a blood-curdling scream as it dissipated.

  The body of Chi Yan Wang transformed into a pool of blood, like a puddle of mud, constantly dripping from the Wan Ling Whip onto the altar.

  After falling to the ground, Chen Mo was panting violently.

  "It's over, it's really over." Chen Mo gazed at the nearby Mulingwei, took a deep breath and smiled with a sense of relief.
