Chapter 1339: The Power of the Void Devourer
After understanding this basic information, Su Jingzhen felt more confident.
He looked at You Yue and the others and said directly, "Let’s head straight to the core of the Ancient Mystic City."
The barriers within the Ancient Mystic City were intact, and the city didn’t have the chaotic energy that was present in the Ancient Desolate City and the Ancient Earth City.
Everything seemed eerily calm.
Although every street was empty, this only made the atmosphere even more unsettling.
At this moment, the members of the Demon Warrior Legion also sensed that something was off.
The killing intent dragon continued to circle above them, firmly protecting everyone.
As they approached the center of the Ancient Mystic City, the demonic aura grew stronger.
Su Jingzhen and the others even felt as if the hidden presence was lurking right beside them.
"Wife, be careful.
The hidden presence is likely a Void Devourer, and its strength might have reached the half-step Demon King level, or even the true Demon King level.
If it attacks, it’ll strike with overwhelming force."
Hearing the words "Void Devourer," You Yue and Huo Yang grew tense.
This rare and extraordinary creature’s reputation was well-deserved.
As they got closer to the center of the Ancient Mystic City, the demonic aura grew thicker.
Su Jingzhen and the others could even feel the pressure emanating from the hidden presence.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s eyes fell on a black palace.
Like the Ancient Desolate City and the Ancient Earth City, it was remarkably well-preserved.
Around this palace, the pressure grew even more intense.
Su Jingzhen could vaguely sense the aura of the Void Devourer.
Indeed, this was the core area. Since the Void Devourer remained loyal to the Ancient Mystic Demon Sect, this place was undoubtedly a sacred ground for it.
"Wife, it’s coming!"
Su Jingzhen spoke gravely to You Yue.
The half-step Demon King aura of the killing intent dragon grew stronger, forming a defensive stance.
After all, they couldn’t pinpoint the Void Devourer’s exact movements and could only defend passively.
"Wife, if my method doesn’t work later, you must protect me and get me into that palace."
If the Void Devourer didn’t recognize his Demon God mark, they would have to summon the Ancient Mystic Demon King.
Hearing this, You Yue nodded solemnly.
As they were talking, a violent demonic aura suddenly erupted in the void.
A massive devouring force swept toward them, forming a devouring black hole.
It seemed intent on swallowing the entire Demon Warrior Legion.
At this moment, the power emanating from the devouring black hole had indeed reached the half-step Demon King level, similar to the Demon Warrior Legion.
It was just a small step away from the Demon King level.
"So strong!
Hold on!"
You Yue and Huo Yang grew tense.
"Legion Holy Shield!"
You Yue shouted coldly.
The killing intent dragon coiled up again.
Each illusory scale glowed with the light of the Great Dao, forming a sacred shield.
The Legion Holy Shield unleashed an incredibly powerful defensive force, perfectly withstanding the power of the devouring black hole.
At the same time, the hidden Void Devourer revealed itself.
Like Su Tuntun, it was an irregular black energy mass.
But it radiated the aura of a half-step Demon King.
Seeing the Void Devourer appear, the members of the Demon Warrior Legion grew even more serious.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s expression showed a hint of anticipation.
The Demon God mark between his eyebrows suddenly shone with a dazzling light.
The sacred pressure it emitted enveloped the Void Devourer.
However, faced with this pressure, the Void Devourer’s aura fluctuated slightly but didn’t respond, perhaps too steeped in its loyalty to its fallen master.
Its aura surged as the devouring black hole intensified.
It swept toward the Demon Warrior Legion once more.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart sank.
He suddenly realized that this creature truly didn’t care about the Demon God.
As a mount, it might only be loyal to the Ancient Mystic Demon Sect and the Ancient Mystic Demon King.
With this in mind, Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned toward the black palace.
"Wife, as we discussed earlier, get me over there!"
His own strength alone couldn’t withstand the Void Devourer’s power.
He could only rely on the Demon Warrior Legion.
You Yue grew even more resolute.
Even while controlling the killing intent dragon, she felt considerable pressure from the Void Devourer.
At this moment, after blocking the first wave of the devouring black hole’s power, You Yue decisively launched a counterattack.
The killing intent dragon opened its maw and fired a killing intent energy ball at the Void Devourer.
Then, its massive tail slammed toward the Void Devourer’s body.
However, as these two powerful attacks approached, the Void Devourer’s irregular form instantly vanished.
Neither divine consciousness nor physical sight could detect it.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen suddenly remembered what the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the Ancient Earth Demon King had said about the power of void.
"Hurry!
Wife, protect me and get me to that palace!
This thing can’t be killed with direct force."
Su Jingzhen immediately took out the black brick.
The power of the world continuously emanated from it.
Together with the Demon God mark, it resisted the repelling force coming from the palace.
Hearing this, You Yue took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to the Void Devourer, which had hidden itself.
She no longer thought about attacking.
She fully believed that Su Jingzhen could create a miracle.
The Legion Holy Shield formed once more.
It protected Su Jingzhen as he moved toward the palace’s entrance.
With the dual protection of the world’s power and the Demon God mark, the palace’s repelling force never manifested.
Seeing Su Jingzhen and the others approaching the palace entrance, the Void Devourer seemed to grow anxious.
Its aura surged again, approaching the true Demon King level.
In the next moment, it abandoned the devouring black hole as its attack method and instead formed a pure dark energy ball!
It then hurled it fiercely toward Su Jingzhen and the others.
"Legion Holy Shield!"
You Yue shouted again.
The killing intent dragon once more formed the Legion Holy Shield.
They chose to withstand the attack head-on!
"Boom!"
The energy ball struck the Legion Holy Shield, and all members of the Demon Warrior Legion felt immense pressure.
Many of the legion’s weaker warriors spat out blood, their auras faltering.
It seemed as if the Demon Warrior Legion was about to collapse.
But at this moment, Su Jingzhen reached the palace entrance.
The light of the Demon God mark surged from his brow, spreading over the palace doors.
Countless mysterious runes on the doors lit up, and the doors swung open with a loud crash!
