Chapter 508 - 493: Suppress Without Killing
The Killing Domain is a domain born for slaughter.
In the domain, all attacks become stronger, and with each creature killed, the killer receives a temporary augmentation from the realm marks. One layer of Killing Domain mark can increase attack power by one percent.
The maximum can stack up to ten layers, and as the Killing Domain grows stronger, the maximum number of layers for realm marks will increase.
Lord Level 1, maximum stack ten layers.
Lord Level 2, maximum stack twenty layers.
...
Lord Level 9, maximum stack ninety layers.
However, there are also downsides.
The Killing Domain is a special domain without attributes, which means there are no dominant pearls to enhance the power of the Killing Domain.
But soon, Li Cunxu put this trouble behind him.
This problem is not a worry. The Killing Domain of the Killing Sword is different from the Killing Domains Li Cunxu has seen before. Its Killing Domain can increase domain power through killing.
Why is the Killing Domain different? Li Cunxu attributed it to the Killing Sword’s growth talent known as "Heart of Slaughter."
Just like the Purifying Crystal of the Pure Crystal Dragon, its skill is so peculiar, it can eradicate the pollution of the Evil God.
For divine-level pollution, at the Overlord level, it can already purify it. What an incredible miracle that is.
Li Cunxu suspected it was due to the Pure Crystal Dragon’s growth talent "Correct Guidance," as only this reason could explain the Purifying Crystal.
Suddenly, there was a ripple of space behind him.
Li Cunxu turned back, feeling vaguely uneasy. This familiar space ripple, could it be that person again?
The next moment, a person emerged from the space.
A familiar figure, and it was indeed the Great Misfortune King Ji Tiansao.
Li Cunxu, with a grim face, said nothing, using his Spiritual Power to slap him to the ground.
"Long Xing..."
Ji Tiansao hadn’t even finished the word "brother."
"Hmm?"
Sensing the killing intent in Li Cunxu’s voice, Ji Tiansao sensibly did not call out.
Ji Tiansao got up, complaining, "Long Xing, aren’t you being a bit too harsh!"
But when he lifted his head, Li Cunxu’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
Based on past experiences, Li Cunxu wouldn’t linger long with Ji Tiansao.
Yet, contrary to his wishes, calamity arrived. It wasn’t something he could run away from just like that.
An invisible wall of air blocked Li Cunxu’s path.
Then, the dark sky descended, and the ground glowed red — the earth cracked open, revealing terrifying magma, and the scent of sulfur pervaded the entire world. Black winds swept the world, and the piercing black wind carried chilling howls, as if countless vengeful souls were struggling and screaming in prison, their cries sharp and ear-piercing, penetrating to the marrow, sending chills down the spine.
"Demon Prison World."
Looking back at the scene, Li Cunxu murmured softly.
The Demon Prison World and Blood Moon World are same-natured rule skills.
High above, a Deceitful Prison Demon with horns on its head, eyes as eerie vertical pupils like a goat, covered in black wool, with robust limbs, its entire body bound in chains, looked down... at Ji Tiansao.
Deceitful Prison Demon, similar to the Vampire Demon, both are entities that are reborn and resurrected in the Divine Kingdom after their followers die.
The Deceitful Prison Demon coldly said to Ji Tiansao, "To dare slaughter the kin of the great Demon God, you’ve got some nerve."
Ji Tiansao pointed his finger, then quickly waved his hands.
"It wasn’t me, I didn’t."
"Dare to quibble."
"No, it really wasn’t me."
The Deceitful Prison Demon punched, the fist energy making a large impression in the city and sinking the entire city a few levels.
Li Cunxu realized, this Deceitful Prison Demon must have come to hunt him down. He had slaughtered so many cities, the Demon God Sect couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye.
This Deceitful Prison Demon probably mistook him for Ji Tiansao.
Li Cunxu did not go over immediately, waiting for the Deceitful Prison Demon to punch Ji Tiansao a few more times.
This unlucky fellow, clinging to him three times already, each time bringing trouble.
The dust settled, Ji Tiansao was fine.
He curled up in a protective barrier supported by the Flying Broom.
Ji Tiansao shouted loudly, "Help! Brother Long Xing."
Listening to the report from a white spider, Li Cunxu decisively hid in the Beast Taming Space as another trace of misfortune spiked in his luck.
This unlucky fellow, calling him "Brother Long Xing" again.
Doesn’t he know that buddying up with others brings them bad luck? He probably knows, so he’s likely doing it on purpose.
As for why he’s doing it? Likely as revenge, as Li Cunxu had involved him with the threefold meteor strike as well.
But Li Cunxu had no choice, without using All Things Seal and the Real Slime Transformation Technique, to handle three Venerable King Level 9s and the Bloodsucking Great Demon who had comprehended the second rule, this was the only move.
Other skills couldn’t achieve a one-hit kill, and with the Bloodsucking Great Demon’s regenerative ability, if you couldn’t kill him in one strike, you wouldn’t be able to kill him at all.
Waiting for a while, not seeing Li Cunxu appear, Ji Tiansao had no choice but to handle it himself.
"Flying Broom, use Misfortune Sharing."
The Flying Broom made the Deceitful Prison Demon share his and Ji Tiansao’s misfortune, making the Deceitful Prison Demon become as unlucky as they were, but it still didn’t change the battle situation; the difference in power was too large.
And Ji Tiansao realized, this wasn’t a Venerable King level Deceitful Prison Demon; it was a Deceitful Prison Demon Monarch disguised as Venerable King Level 9, actually Monarch Level.
Ji Tiansao had to use his trump card, the Ten Thousand Crows Pot.
Released a Fire Crow, to burn the Deceitful Prison Demon Monarch.
"Ten Thousand Crows Pot, I beg you, release more Fire Crows to settle this please."
The treasure has a spirit and could understand Ji Tiansao’s words.
But the Ten Thousand Crows Pot made no response.
Because the Ten Thousand Crows Pot did not want to help Ji Tiansao. Helping him would also entangle it with Ji Tiansao’s annoying misfortune.
As an imperial tool, although the Ten Thousand Crows Pot can suppress Ji Tiansao’s misfortune, increased misfortune would still trouble the Pot, like falling into a filth pit. Though it poses no threat, it was unpleasant.
After half an hour, Li Cunxu came out to check the situation.
The Deceitful Prison Demon Monarch was chasing and attacking Ji Tiansao, yet a Fire Crow was chasing and attacking the Demon Monarch, who was extremely wary of the Fire Crow, preferring to dodge its attacks rather than continue attacking Ji Tiansao.
Ji Tiansao was riding the Flying Broom, frantically evading attacks, his agile movements making Li Cunxu slightly regretful.
This world lacks Quidditch from Harry Potter, otherwise, Ji Tiansao could’ve surely taken the championship... uh, well, maybe not, he’s too unlucky; championships generally elude him.
Looking at the enormous black wings behind the Deceitful Prison Demon Monarch, Li Cunxu’s expression was serious; this truly was a Monarch level Deceitful Prison Demon.
Checking the panel, Li Cunxu relaxed slightly, only Monarch Level 1, manageable.
Deceitful Prison Demons are easier to kill than Vampire Demons, lacking the terrifying regenerative abilities of the latter, but they’re still troublesome to deal with.
Although the Deceitful Prison Demon is easy to kill, managing the aftermath is tricky, as its death brings ominous changes.
Upon the Deceitful Prison Demon’s death, its body transforms into an indestructible deceit prison; the prison traps people, and if one fails to escape within seven days, they are sent into the Deceitful Prison Divine Kingdom, into the Evil God’s Divine Kingdom from which escape is only possible for someone of the level of the old president.
Therefore, the alliance’s approach to the Deceitful Prison Demon is to suppress, not kill.
