Chapter 1325 Death Monarch

As Shi Feng finished speaking, Lone Nine Extremes, Jing Wu Ming, and Yan Ya stopped trying to attract Todria's attention and rushed toward Shi Feng.

Because Shi Feng was the only one who could hold Todria back. If they ran elsewhere, Todria would definitely catch up and crush them.

Todria strode toward Shi Feng, each step shaking the earth and intensifying the mental pressure. Even the Qingyi Lone Walker and others resting in the distance couldn't help but cover their heads.

"Are we still going to fight?" Huan Yu frowned slightly.

She couldn't see any possibility of defeating Todria. It had over 20 billion HP, a combat standard higher than ordinary Refinement Realm experts, and a reaction speed so fast that even a domain master like her could barely catch a glimpse.

That speed was simply impossible for Tier 3 classes to contend with. Even a Tier 4 class like Shi Feng could only barely match it.

Todria's terrifying power could probably only be blocked by a Tier 4 Guardian class. For an Attack class like Shi Feng to withstand it head-on would be disastrous. Even with burst-mode healing, they might not be able to make up for Shi Feng's HP loss.

Todria was less than a hundred yards away from Shi Feng, just two or three steps from reaching him.

"Connection complete!" Shi Feng closed the Book of Darkness, smiling at Todria. "Now, let's start round two!"

Just as Shi Feng closed the Book of Darkness, the sky above the valley shattered, replaced by a dark space covering several thousand yards. The gloomy valley was plunged into complete darkness.

Within this dark space, one could faintly see a connection to an ancient and terrifying place. The aura emanating from it caused the valley's magic to tremble and dissipate.

A massive stone gate, several hundred meters tall, fell from the dark space and crashed to the ground, shaking the earth. Todria couldn't help but look at the ancient stone gate, a deep wariness in its profound gaze.

"How can such a terrifying existence exist in this world?"

Undying Battle Heart was astonished at the sight of the hundreds-of-meters-tall stone gate.

The stone gate was the most terrifying thing he had ever seen in God's Domain. Just looking at it made him understand its horror. It felt like a terrible taboo. The magic patterns, divine patterns, runes, and other marks engraved on the stone gate were all to seal its power.

Even a trace of power leaking from within could easily crush him into countless pieces.

He even had a feeling that opening the gate would be the beginning of all disasters.

"He's not planning to open that stone gate, is he?" Huan Yu couldn't help but feel nervous.

The stone gate was too ominous. Just looking at it, without even sensing it, would fill the mind with an indescribable aversion and fear. This fear was a hundred times stronger than that caused by Todria.

Before Huan Yu could think further, the giant stone gate slowly opened on its own.

Darkness, silence, despair!

As if all the negative emotions in the world poured out of the stone gate at that moment. Even Shi Feng felt a headache. The others present, including the battle-hardened Undying Battle Heart, couldn't help but kneel on the ground, their faces pale, and dared not look directly at the stone gate.

"Hu...man?"

"No...you are not..."

A difficult demonic language came from the stone gate. Although no one present understood demonic language, they clearly understood the meaning.

However, everyone present was puzzled.

"To think that after so many years, it would be you who summoned this gate once again."

As the voice echoed, a humanoid demon, more than ten meters tall, barefoot with three eyes, and wearing black-patterned armor, walked out of the stone gate.

The moment it saw the demon, Todria was filled with fear, as if it had seen death itself.

Not only Todria, but even Shi Feng felt a chill.

He never expected to summon this demon...

In the endless dark abyss, there were 108 Great Demons at the peak of the abyss, each second only to the Demon King, belonging to the half-step Demon King realm. The one before them was one of them, the Death Monarch Frobrairo, a Great Demon ranked 21st in strength.

"So weak! So weak!" The Death Monarch Frobrairo looked at itself, muttering with dissatisfaction. It then looked at Shi Feng, who was holding the Book of Darkness, and said coldly, "You should know what you have done. That book is not something you should possess. Give it to me. That is your only way out. Otherwise, only eternal disappearance awaits you!"

As the Death Monarch Frobrairo spoke, an unprecedented sense of oppression descended, making Shi Feng feel uncomfortable and look grim.

"As expected of the top 108 Demon Monarchs. This mental pressure is probably no less than that of Tier 5 classes." Shi Feng sighed with emotion.

Although he had long known that the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 classes was huge, he still felt somewhat powerless when he truly sensed the existence of this half-step Demon King.

The only fortunate thing was that he had the Book of Darkness. Now that the Death Monarch Frobrairo was bound by the Book of Darkness, its ability to target him was limited. Otherwise, he would definitely be instantly killed.

As the Death Monarch Frobrairo released mental pressure on Shi Feng, the Book of Darkness seemed to sense it and instantly chains appeared around the Death Monarch Frobrairo.

The appearance of these chains instantly reduced the Death Monarch Frobrairo's mental pressure, preventing it from threatening Shi Feng any further.

"Damn contract! One day, I will break free from this shackle and obtain true freedom!" The Death Monarch Frobrairo looked at the appearing black chains with anger, then looked at Shi Feng and said coldly, "Although you have this book, I can't do anything to you now. But don't think you can completely control me. I can see the curses and shackles on you. Your time is running out. This book can't save you. Only I can help you."

"No need. If I trust you, I'll only become your puppet." Shi Feng shook his head and smiled disdainfully.

Regarding his soul problem, he had some guesses after advancing to Tier 4. Before, he thought it was a benefit brought by the advancement. Even his spirit in the real world tended to stabilize. But the fact was that his problem was much bigger than he thought, especially after using the Book of Darkness, this feeling became even more obvious.

The Book of Darkness had been secretly eroding his soul!

It had to be said that these god-like objects were not so easy to control, and were more dangerous than demonic weapons.

But he couldn't give up either.

The path of advancement was extremely difficult. Every opportunity had to be seized so that he could step into the divine realm. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.

It was precisely because his soul was eroded back then that it became stronger. Therefore, his resistance to the soul shackles of that mysterious NPC became even stronger.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive now.

Then, Shi Feng looked at Frobrairo and said, "I may not be able to completely control you, but you should also understand that by being summoned by me, I can forcibly control part of your power."

His greatest reliance this time in the Destruction Mountain Range was the Book of Darkness. Otherwise, with his personal strength, he wouldn't even think about going deep into the Destruction Mountain Range. He could only run if he encountered Todria.

"You will regret it! The power of demons is not something you can control. The more you use it, the deeper you will sink, until your soul is completely devoured!"

"Thanks for the reminder, but it's not that easy for you to devour me!"

Saying that, Shi Feng began to control the Book of Darkness, erasing the Death Monarch Frobrairo's autonomous consciousness and obtaining partial control over the Death Monarch Frobrairo's body.

A level 135 Demon Lord!

Even if he could only control 70% of its power, it would be enough for him to roam the outer area of the Destruction Mountain Range without worry.

The conversation between Shi Feng and the Death Monarch Frobrairo only took a short while. Todria had been stunned in place, quietly watching because it had been afraid of the stone gate and the Death Monarch Frobrairo.

However, after Shi Feng took over the control of the Death Monarch Frobrairo's body, Todria immediately noticed something was wrong. Frobrairo's aura and mental pressure had directly weakened a lot, and it had a clear hostility towards it. Immediately, Todria pounced on Shi Feng.

Its claws, like a small mountain, stepped down on Shi Feng.

The space where Shi Feng was located seemed to be compressed a hundred times at this moment, not only making Shi Feng feel extremely heavy and difficult to move, but even slowing down the flow of time.

Tier 4 Talent Skill: Heaven Shattering Stomp!

This was the first time Todria had used a skill. It had disdained using skills to fight against ants like Jing Wu Ming before, but against Shi Feng, it only wanted to kill him immediately.

Shi Feng felt the strong pressure in the surrounding space and looked up at Todria with a slight smile on his lips.

"You're too late!"

Before Shi Feng's voice could fall, Frobrairo, not far in front of Shi Feng, suddenly waved his hand, condensing a dark-as-night flame spear in his hand, and swept it directly towards the claws in mid-air.

Although the flame spear was made of flames, it had no heat. Instead, it was filled with coldness, completely freezing the surrounding space.

And time seemed to stand still at this moment, instantly bombarding the mountain-like claws.

Boom!

The space shattered, turning into nothingness.

The impact of the collision caused the surrounding earth to sink. Only Shi Feng could withstand the impact and didn't move. But the others were affected by the shockwave, losing tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of HP, and were blown away five hundred yards away...

Todria's huge body couldn't help but fly back hundreds of yards, and the entire terrain became a flat ground.

The mouths of Huan Yu, Undying Battle Heart, and the others who had been blown away in the distance were wide open.

-49454423!

A number close to 50 million damage emerged from Todria's head. The gap between the strengths of the two sides was obvious, completely not on the same level...
