It was merely meant to be a little exercise...
However, Liu Xie was a bit unscrupulous, and his movements were somewhat excessive. The power of nine destiny laws and three high-grade spirit treasures were unleashed at full force, forcing Wang Quan Gui and Yi Zi Hao to only retaliate passively.
Wang Quan Gui and Yi Zi Hao, who were initially surging with power, were easily suppressed by Liu Xie.
"You fellow..."
Wang Quan Gui took out the high-grade spirit treasure Sumeru Painting to block a wave of Liu Xie's attack, but his expression was not very good.
Those who paid attention noticed that Liu Hao Tian's demonic king true form had, unknowingly, grown by more than double its original size!
Had Liu Hao Tian already devoured more than two layers of Arces' hell authority at this moment?
If that were truly the case, it would be a despair-inducing piece of news.
The power of more than half of hell's authority concentrated in one person was enough to make anyone break down!
At that very instant, the ancestor of dragons, "Leviathan," a mid-stage Divine Realm expert, disengaged and retreated, vanishing as silently as he arrived.
...
With a peak Divine Realm cultivation and the advantage of home ground, all these factors combined were Liu Hao Tian's true confidence in directly devouring Arces!
Of course, Liu Hao Tian had not expected Arces to be so ruthless, self-destructing after being swallowed.
Regardless of the process, the outcome was still good.
Although Liu Hao Tian was severely injured, the possession of more than half of hell's authority had indeed propelled his strength to a new apex.
The Divine Realm experts from various races, who had been lurking nearby, immediately scattered like startled rabbits and retreated at high speed once the great battle began.
...
At this point, only the angels of the angel race remained hidden in the shadows, hesitating.
"That monster, Satan, actually survived such a terrifying explosion and became even stronger..."
Gabriel, the great general of the angel race, who was leading the group and hiding in hell to take advantage, had personally witnessed Liu Hao Tian's terrifying destructive power in his rage, and his heart instantly faltered.
"A terrifying monster of this caliber, even if severely injured, could easily drag a mid-stage Divine Realm great general like myself into a mutual destruction! "
"I don't want to lose my life for some damned mission..."
"Forget it, anyway, there are no other Divine Realm angels around here, so I have the final say..."
"Even if, one day, this monster before me breaks out of hell and charges into the divine realm..."
"The Angel King Michael and the deity Jehovah will personally deal with this monster, what do I have to fear?"
After weighing the pros and cons, Gabriel sighed lightly and abandoned the idea of ambushing Liu Hao Tian from the shadows.
If it were several hundred million years ago, Gabriel might have risked it, but the more he experienced, the more he cherished his own life.
With a face as dark as still water, Gabriel looked at the dozens of archangels of legendary rank and above behind him and commanded sternly, "Retreat!"
...
"Lord Gabriel!! Retreat???"
Alshelly couldn't help but gasp, her face showing hesitation.
Another archangel, Cassandiba, also seemed to have a different opinion, but he dared not speak easily, intimidated by Gabriel's authority.
The dozens of archangels of legendary rank and above began to murmur below, some even starting to argue.
Some archangels believed that if they didn't run quickly, they would lose their lives here.
Others believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they didn't act now, there would be no such chance in the future.
...
Seeing the chaotic scene, Gabriel's expression grew even darker, and a powerful aura surged from him.
Immediately after, Gabriel's roar rang out, "Alshelly, Cassandiba, and all of you, why are you still standing here? Did you not hear my command?"
"If we don't leave now, when Satan recovers, we will all die..."
Before these archangels could say anything more, another violent change occurred on Liu Hao Tian's side.
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The void trembled, and unimaginably terrifying demonic energy surged forth as Liu Hao Tian's demonic king true form underwent new changes.
On its body, which was ten times larger than a mountain range and comparable to an entire continent, countless mysterious runes resembling laws appeared.
Liu Hao Tian, whose pain had slightly lessened, subconsciously swept his eyes around and immediately spotted Gabriel and the group of archangels behind him.
...
All the archangels, including Gabriel, turned pale and their hearts collectively sank when they noticed Liu Hao Tian's eyes looking at them.
From the previous battle between Liu Hao Tian and Arces, all the angels understood clearly that numbers were useless in front of this monster.
Originally, the difference in power between Liu Hao Tian and Gabriel was merely that of a tiger and a wild dog.
Although the gap was considerable, they could still exchange a few blows and not be defeated immediately.
However, this situation had become increasingly extreme after Liu Hao Tian devoured and digested Arces' corpse, gaining control of more than half of hell's authority.
Liu Hao Tian, who commanded more than half of hell's authority, not only doubled in size but also exponentially increased his power.
And when Gabriel looked into Liu Hao Tian's eyes, he felt as if he were looking into hell itself, a profound darkness that could engulf him.
Facing the current Liu Hao Tian, Gabriel, with his mid-stage Divine Realm cultivation, felt a great fear surge from the depths of his heart!
This feeling was something he had only experienced in one person, the deity of their angel race, Jehovah.
Gabriel's subconscious had become cowardly!
...
The dozens of archangels fared even worse.
Upon seeing those pair of demonic, profound eyes, they instinctively turned to flee, but it was already too late.
"Roar!!!"
A world-shattering roar resounded once more.
Immediately after, a fist, thousands of miles larger than a mountain, descended directly before Gabriel and the archangels.
Before Gabriel and the archangels could react, this fist smashed towards them with a speed that transcended time.
The power from the source of darkness erupted from Liu Hao Tian's fist, creating a destructive force comparable to a stellar explosion.
Energy, light, and even time and space were not spared, instantly obliterated...
Gabriel, wielding the Blazing Sword, resisted with all his might and barely managed to block Liu Hao Tian's punch. Even so, he was severely injured.
The dozens of archangels behind him were not so fortunate, perishing one after another, with only a handful of late-stage legendary archangels surviving.
The unique golden-yellow blood of the angel race splattered, blooming into a golden fireworks display in the sky.
...
"Go!"
Gabriel let out a heart-wrenching cry.
...
The few surviving archangels, upon hearing this, abandoned everything and spared no thought.
Immediately after, Gabriel used spatial powers and, with the divine ability of instant movement, led the few archangels to flee directly from hell.
Liu Hao Tian looked in the direction where Gabriel, Alshelly, and the other archangels had fled with a cold, indifferent, all-consuming gaze. He snorted and then reverted to his normal human size.
...
At this moment, Gabriel, who had escaped hell with Alshelly and the other archangels, couldn't help but lose himself in thought as he recalled Liu Hao Tian's earth-shattering punch.
Was the second world lord in the crystal wall world about to be born? Perhaps in the near future, an era would dawn, named... the era of Satan.
...
However, all of this was no longer his concern, for when the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it.
Monsters of Satan's caliber would be left for Angel King Michael and Deity Jehovah to deal with personally.
Besides, what use was it to think so much? He would likely not even be a great general when he returned.
This was for the best, as it saved him from being on the front lines and getting into trouble.
With such an ostrich mentality, Gabriel, the once spirited great general of the angel race, returned like a stray dog, dejected and disheartened.
...
On the other side, the undead skeletons of the undead race had completely collapsed under the pursuit of the morale-boosted demons.
Apart from a small number of undead skeletons still resisting stubbornly, the rest were either killed or surrendered. The entire battlefield was already decided.
"We won! We won..."
Some demons, faced with this situation, actually knelt down and wept with joy.
More demons, however, shouted fanatically, their voices shaking the heavens.
"Long live the demon race, long live my king!"
"Long live the demon race, long live my king!"
"Long live the demon race, long live my king..."
...
"My king, it's truly good that you're alright..."
Beelzebub knelt on one knee and asked with concern, disregarding his still bleeding right leg.
Agares, Vashak, Samigina, Malphas, Valefor, Amon, Barbatos, Bael, and others, the high-ranking demons, did not immediately come to pay their respects as they were busy dealing with the aftermath.
Liu Hao Tian glanced around. Seeing that the situation was stable, he smiled slightly and waved his hand, signaling Beelzebub to rise.
Until only sporadic resistance remained on the battlefield.
