High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 368 The Descends of the Demon God

On the face of that figure, two eyes, like vortexes in an abyss, were fixed on the red-haired monster below, piercing through layers of void.

Lord of the Abyss—a true demon god!

【The Lord of Annihilation】!

"It's the Demon Lord!"

"The Demon Lord has awakened!"

"Hahahaha! Heaven has spared me! The Demon Lord himself has arrived; this red-haired monster is doomed!!"

The demons, who had been low-spirited just moments before, suddenly became as if they had been injected with adrenaline, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing frantically to the majestic figure in the sky, their eyes filled with fanaticism and worship.

All beings beneath the true god are but ants.

As long as the Demon Lord takes action, there is no enemy in this world that cannot be defeated!

……

High in the sky.

The Demon Lord of Annihilation ignored the cheers of the ants below.

Its eyes, which held the profound truths of the universe, now carried a rare hint of solemnity.

Actually, it had been awake for a long time.

The moment the red-haired monster tore through the void and descended upon the Demon Abyss, it, as the ruler of the Demon Abyss, sensed this strange aura.

But it didn't move.

Because... it cannot see through it.

What is the Demon Abyss?

That was the core of the Demon God Realm, and the surrounding spatial barriers, reinforced by successive Demon Gods, were the most solid in all the heavens.

Even if a True God or True Immortal of the same level wanted to force their way in, they would have to bombard the area for a long time and create a huge commotion.

But this red-haired monster acted as if he were returning home, tearing through space and "flashing" in.

This is clearly completely illogical.

Out of caution, the Lord of Annihilation chose to observe in secret.

It watched as the ten True Demon Guards were instantly killed, and refrained from making a move.

It watched as its capable henchman, the Blood Fiend Demigod, was blown to pieces, yet it still refrained from making a move.

It is waiting, waiting for the other party to expose a flaw, or to reveal their true hand.

Just now, at the very moment when the red-haired monster unleashed its third punch, completely obliterating the Blood Fiend Venerable's soul, the Annihilation Demon Lord finally caught a glimpse of that deeply hidden aura.

That's the sense of vicissitudes of time.

That was the roar of the rushing river of time.

"I see……"

A great weight was finally lifted from the heart of the Demon Lord of Annihilation, replaced by a sense of understanding and shock.

"No wonder I can't see through your background, no wonder your physical body is so ridiculously strong yet devoid of any life..."

"You are not a being of this era at all!"

"You are a projection that has traveled upstream from the River of Time!!"

Having seen through this, the fear in the eyes of the Demon Lord of Annihilation instantly dissipated by more than half.

A projection is, after all, a projection.

Although it can unleash astonishing combat power and even possess some of the original's abilities, it lacks a foundation, a continuous source of energy, and is limited by the cost to the summoner.

"To be able to summon a projection comparable to a true god, the summoner behind it probably won't have an easy time either, right?"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation sneered inwardly.

Now that we know the details, there's nothing to be afraid of.

This is the Abyss of Demons, its home ground.

It is empowered by endless demonic energy and favored by the will of the world; it can wear down this projection to death!

Thinking of this, the demonic light around the Lord of Annihilation intensified, and the divine pressure became even more terrifying, directly sealing off the void around the red-haired monster like an iron barrel.

"Just who are you, sir?"

The Lord of Annihilation did not attack directly, but instead looked down from above, his voice booming like rolling thunder.

"The river of time is irreversible, and the taboos of the years must not be violated."

"Your Excellency not only reverses Yin and Yang, but also dares to trespass into my Demon Clan's sacred land with just a projection, slaughtering my people and killing my demigods."

"How do you intend to settle this score?!"

These words were spoken in a grand and authoritative manner.

On one hand, it was to regain face in front of his many subordinates and demonstrate the majesty of the demon god.

On the other hand, it was also buying time, secretly mobilizing the entire power of the Demon Abyss, preparing to trap this red-haired monster like a turtle in a jar.

However, it seems to have overestimated the red-haired monster's patience.

Or rather, it simply doesn't understand the red-haired monster.

Who are you? It doesn't matter.

What are you saying? I can't hear you.

What do you want to do? Whatever.

"Whoosh!"

The moment before the Lord of Annihilation finished speaking...

The red-haired monster vanished into thin air once again.

"Um?!"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation's pupils suddenly contracted.

Its spatial blockade was so tight that even a true god couldn't easily pass through it, yet the other party treated it as nothing.

"Here it is!"

As a true god, its reaction speed is naturally incomparable to that of a demigod.

It instantly sensed the spatial fluctuations in front of it and instinctively raised its hand to block.

But it was still a fraction too late; the red-haired monster had already appeared in front of its enormous head.

No unnecessary words.

It was still that same fist covered in red fur and stained with countless drops of demonic blood.

"boom--!!!"

He threw a punch.

This punch was even more terrifying than the three punches that killed the demigod before.

Above the fist, the faint phantom of a rushing, roaring river appeared—that was the power of time!

"Click, click, click!"

The "True God's Protective Law," which was said to be impervious to all laws, was like a fragile eggshell in the face of this punch that carried the power of time. It was instantly covered with cracks and then shattered with a bang.

"Bang!!!"

The extremely muffled roar shook the entire Demon God Realm.

Immediately afterwards, under the horrified gazes of countless demons below...

The lofty and supreme Demon Lord of Annihilation, with his towering demonic body, was actually blasted in half by this punch!

"Pfft—!!"

The golden-black blood of the demon god poured down like a burst dam.

"Hooray!!!"

The Lord of Annihilation let out a mournful and furious roar.

Since becoming a god hundreds of thousands of years ago, when has it ever suffered such a severe injury? When has it ever been crippled by a single punch in person?

But a true god is a true god after all.

"Immortal God Law! Gather!!"

With the roar of the Demon Lord of Annihilation, the brilliant divine core within its body spun wildly.

The surrounding demonic energy surged instantly, transforming into an endless vortex of energy that rushed towards its mangled body.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Granulation tissue moves and bones regenerate.

Time seemed to flow backwards on it.

It only takes the time it takes to breathe.

The half of his body that had been blasted apart regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the magic patterns on his skin reappeared, as if he had never been injured.

This is the terrifying aspect of the True God realm—rebirth from a drop of blood, immortal and indestructible.

Unless its divine essence can be destroyed instantly or its source depleted, it is invincible in this demonic abyss filled with demonic energy.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

Having regained his body, the Demon Lord of Annihilation was no longer as calm and composed as before.

Its face was filled with ferocity and rage, and its huge eyes burned with tangible black demonic fire.

Being injured by a projection is a great humiliation for it!

"As expected of a being from the long river of time, that punch was indeed powerful!"

The Demon Lord of Annihilation stared intently at the expressionless, red-haired monster before him, his voice icy and chilling, his killing intent almost tangible:

"Does Your Excellency truly believe that you can run rampant in the Demon Abyss with just this sneak attack?"

"If your true form were to appear in person, I might have to give way."

"But now you... are nothing more than a rootless, drifting projection!"

"In the Abyss of Demons, I am the heavens! I possess boundless energy!"

"And you, every point you use is one point less!"

"Today, I will sever the flow of time, annihilate your projection, and let the true form behind you taste the bitterness of backlash!!"

"Demon God's Dharma Form—Open!!!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!

With the Demon Lord of Annihilation declaring war, the entire Demon Abyss was in an uproar.

A terrifying Dharma image, ten times larger than before, materialized behind it.

The dharma figure held a black demonic blade powerful enough to cleave galaxies, radiating terrifying waves that could destroy the world.

A great war is about to break out!
