Volume 2 + Chapter 143: Demon God Pillars
Xia Yi never imagined that the location she was in was already on the body of the Legendary Beast.
Just from the giant eye before her, one could imagine how exaggerated Belial’s true form was.
Now, the Legendary Beast was staring at Xia Yi.
The instinct of living beings was to seek benefits and avoid harm.
The terror of Belial had surpassed all her understanding, fear rising continuously in her heart, spreading to every corner of her body.
Such a purely powerful existence, like a living calamity, was scrutinizing her.
At this moment, as a living being, the only thought was to protect oneself.
Xia Yi raised her hand, and the Holy Sword Mark on the back of her hand gradually lit up.
She didn’t think much, only following her instincts, wanting to summon her weapon.
“No…” Xia Yi whispered.
She regained some rationality.
If she wanted to fight the Legendary Beast, there was absolutely no chance of winning. She was only at the Third Tier.
It was like an ant trying to bite a giant dragon to death.
Perhaps even that analogy wasn’t enough to describe the current situation.
If she struggled, death was certain.
I have to…
Take a gamble!
In front of Belial, she felt that the importance of her mental state had reached its limit. She wanted to roar, scream, and resist.
However, Xia Yi made a great decision, trying hard to suppress her dragon instincts.
An almost impossible feat.
But she was a Sword Saint, trying to calm her state of mind.
In the end, she canceled the Holy Sword Mark and lowered her hand… Under the extreme state of mind, she didn’t release the slightest killing intent or aura, merely silently standing in front of Belial’s eye.
For the first time, Xia Yi felt it was so unbearable. Every extra second of endurance nearly pushed her to the brink of collapse, almost driving her mad.
In the end, she won the gamble.
Belial slowly closed its eye, the crack in the mountain wall closed again, and everything returned to how it was before.
“Phew…”
Xia Yi let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground.
For now, she was safe.
Sure enough, her speculation was correct.
The Belial before her was one of the Legendary Beasts, representing Sloth.
Sloth was its characteristic.
To put it simply, in the presence of a Legendary Beast like Belial, a small being like Xia Yi was probably no different from a speck of dust.
From the information she learned from the dragon curses she came into contact with, she knew one thing. Belial itself would not actively take action to fight. It was very lazy.
The situation just now was that Belial was too lazy to waste even a bit of its energy to erase an insignificant speck of dust.
Raising a hand to flick away dust might be too much trouble.
If Xia Yi had shown the slightest threat and wanted to resist just now… Especially if she had summoned the legendary Holy Sword, it was very likely to attract Belial’s attention, and she would have been doomed.
If it were someone else just now, they would have definitely given their life in vain.
“If Xia Lulu knew that I survived in front of Belial, she would probably be very surprised,” Xia Yi sighed. “Who could have imagined that such secrets and the existence of a Legendary Beast lay within the Great Sea of Trees…”
She understood now.
The reason why the former Dragon King used the temple as a base to create the false Great Sea of Trees was to hide Belial in the true land and prevent anyone from approaching the Legendary Beast.
Those dragons who rashly entered the Great Sea of Trees were truly unlucky, dying without understanding why.
Xia Yi raised her head and looked at the stone statues standing on the stone pillars on Belial’s body.
Those were precisely the 72 Demon God Pillars commanded by the Sovereign of the World—Belial.
“Baal, Agares, Amon, Paimon, Buer…”
These were the names Xia Yi learned from the curses left behind by the ancient dragons when they died in battle, the names of the 72 Demon God Pillars.
When fighting, Belial would not actively make a move but let the Demon God Pillars it commanded fight on its behalf.
The figures she saw in the Earth Memory before, as well as those spine-chilling laughs, were the Demon God Pillars.
Fortunately, these Demon God Pillars were all in a sealed state and should not be awakened without Belial’s will.
She was still in a safe state now.
A breeze blew, brushing past Xia Yi’s hair. She had a feeling of surviving a catastrophe.
“It feels so quiet. The Demon God Pillars on Belial’s body are currently sealed, so different from when encountering Leviathan… Huh?”
Before Xia Yi could finish her words, she saw someone looking at her from atop one of the Demon God Pillars.
Completely different from the illusion when facing the Demon God Pillars just now, this nearly humanoid Demon God Pillar held a long spear, wearing dark red armor, like a woman, looking down from above, expressionlessly staring at her. The spear tip emitted a sharp, cold light under the dim sky.
This was…
Already in an unsealed state!
“How is this possible!!”
Xia Yi’s eyes widened. Belial had just closed its eyes and lost interest in her, so how could it deliberately awaken the Demon God Pillars!
This made no sense at all!!
Moreover, what was strange was that among the dragon curses she analyzed before, she didn’t find any Demon God Pillar with this image. Did she… overlook it?
However, this Demon God Pillar didn’t explain to Xia Yi at all but released blatant killing intent, raising its hand.
Whoosh!
Two chains flew out from behind the Demon God Pillar, binding the silver-haired loli’s body.
There was a huge gap in strength between Xia Yi and the other party. The other party was at least several tiers higher than her. With her current strength, there was no chance of breaking free.
Afterward, the Demon God Pillar left the stone pillar beneath its feet, leaping into the air, aiming its spear at Xia Yi’s body, descending from the sky with a strike full of killing intent.
“Damn it… Holy Sword!!”
Xia Yi had no choice. If she didn’t choose to summon the Holy Sword here, she would only have one fate.
She amplified her Sword Intent with all her might, causing the Sword Qi released by the Holy Sword to increase exponentially in power, shattering the chains.
After being able to move, she swung the Holy Sword and used a sword slash towards the Demon God Pillar in the sky.
The other party was in the sky and had no way to move, only becoming her living target!
However…
That Demon God Pillar had anticipated this and still actively met Xia Yi’s strike.
At the moment of collision, Xia Yi understood why the other party did this.
It was strength.
In terms of strength, the difference between Xia Yi and the unknown Demon God Pillar was truly too great, like the difference between a baby dragon and an adult dragon. It suppressed Xia Yi and the Holy Sword, shattering the counterattack. In the face of absolute power, the outcome was already decided.
Scenes of the past flashed before Xia Yi like a revolving lantern, time stretched infinitely… Although it was only half a second, she felt like she had re-lived her entire life.
Xia Yi was about to die.
