Chapter 594 - 460: Stone Spirit Dominates the Battlefield_2

Additionally, there were three other demon figures... making a total of six powerful demons of the Void Refining Stage!

....

At that moment, the Stone Spirit stared at the six imposing demon figures standing before it, especially the enigmatic and unpredictable Black Hole Demon God in the center, realizing that its toughest battle on this battlefield was about to commence...

The Stone Spirit was extraordinarily grateful to have the Void Fish’s support because without it, its killing efficiency wouldn’t have been as high, and the two king-level void-refining demons it encountered earlier could have escaped.

If it allowed them to escape, the Stone Spirit would not be just facing six demons, but possibly even more!

In such a situation, the numerous abnormal runes on its body might not be effective, because the opposing side also had terrifying demon powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Void Refining Stage!

Even in the current one versus six situation, it was still extremely dangerous. A single carelessness could mean having to sacrifice itself and wait for Qi Ping’s revival.

But the Stone Spirit would never allow such a situation to occur.

Because, looking at it presently, the Stone Spirit was the one with the highest win rate on the entire battlefield at the Void Refining level. If it failed, it would likely mean the complete obliteration of the Void Refining level battlefield!

A total wipeout on such an important battlefield would be an absolute disaster for the Star Sea World.

"Little Stone cannot fail, cannot let down the leader’s expectations..."

As the Stone Spirit gazed at the demons descending before it, especially the mysterious one still obscured within a black hole, it couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread.

It was unimaginable that a Void Refining Stage demon could pose such a strong threat to it.

But this only strengthened the Stone Spirit’s determination to achieve victory!

"Fishy..." the Stone Spirit called out secretly to the Void Fish hidden in the void.

"Little Stone, I’m here, and Fishy is ready for a fight to the death!" the fish’s voice rang out resolutely from the shadows.

It was prepared for a desperate battle, as the Void Fish clan would never retreat or be cowardly.

"Not a fight to the death... take me, and run!"

"What?" The Void Fish, ready to support the Stone Spirit in a deathmatch, was stunned for a moment but quickly followed the instruction, fleeing wildly with the Stone Spirit in tow.

In a flash, the large figure of the Stone Spirit vanished from its original spot with a ’whoosh’.

"Little Stone, why are we running?" asked the Void Fish with a hint of confusion.

"The leader instructed me. He said, if faced with many enemies and uncertain of victory, you should take me and run. First, outpace the slower ones, you handle the escape, while I look for opportunities to eliminate the early pursuers... unleash a mass of abnormal runes to swiftly kill one, then consume ores and weapons to recover. The boss calls this ’divide and conquer’..." the Stone Spirit said somewhat proudly.

"And if they don’t pursue?"

"The leader said if they don’t pursue, just find other isolated demons to take down. At worst, keep running until the Power of Star Sea Creation descends. As long as they can’t kill us and can’t find the world nodes, dragging until the realm battlefield’s time ends for a draw is also fine..."

"Okay, then Fishy understands. Leave the escape to me!"

In combat, it might not match these terrifying guys, but when it comes to escaping, it’s remarkable.

On the other side, the Black Hole Demon God and the other six demons looked at the Stone Spirit that had disappeared in an instant, all showing a look of astonishment on their faces.

What is this trickery?

They had even been prepared to face a great enemy with the Stone Spirit.

Since the inception of the realm battlefield, news of the Stone Spirit sweeping through with a sword and a saber had spread far and wide. Not a single demon could halt its progress, essentially mowing down everything in its path.

Such a fierce reputation would instill fear even in the cruel demon race.

To say the least, if it weren’t for the Black Hole Demon God in the center being present, they probably wouldn’t have chosen to proactively engage with the Stone Spirit, opting instead to gather more demons.

They had even prepared themselves for battle unto death moments ago.

The notorious figure, however, just ran off in a puff of smoke...

Such a ridiculous maneuver nearly threw out their backs....

Is this right?

Looking at where the Stone Spirit disappeared, the other four Void Refining demons exchanged glances and then looked at the demon enveloped in the black hole at the center.

"Your Highness, should we pursue?"

A simple sentence directly exposed the disparity in status.

Even the two king-level void-refining demons had to respectfully address the central Black Hole Demon God as ’Your Highness’.

The prestigious identity of the Black Hole Demon God made even king-level void-refining demons bow!

"Should we chase or not?" The Black Hole Demon God in the center was also somewhat conflicted at this moment.

It chose to bring other demons to deal with the Stone Spirit precisely because it knew the Stone Spirit was difficult to handle.

Even with its status and bloodline, it did not have absolute confidence in taking down the Stone Spirit. At least, it needed the support of a few strong void-refining demons to be sure to deal with such a tricky opponent.

Originally, before blocking the Stone Spirit head-on, it had already devised the combat strategy.

Considering the Stone Spirit’s habit of bulldozing its way through, the plan had a very high success rate.

But now... the Stone Spirit took off without even uttering a fart—it was simply ridiculous!

However, after a brief moment of hesitation, it still made a decision without any doubt:

"Chase! Don’t let it escape!"

Because it had its eye on the Stone Spirit’s physique!

If it could acquire the Stone Spirit’s body, combined with its talent, its foundation and potential would be elevated to an unimaginable level. Upon breaking through to the Integration Stage Demon Lord, it would become an existence formidable enough to intimidate the entire Demon Realm, possibly even catching up to its father!

So it absolutely could not miss the Stone Spirit’s body!

Under normal circumstances, it could still gather more demons to encircle and intercept the Stone Spirit, but now with the unexpected variable of the Void Fish, which could traverse the realm battlefield’s space barriers, things were different.

Once the Stone Spirit sensed the danger and left the realm battlefield, there would be more variables in obtaining that body.

Although it realized this could be Stone Spirit’s ’divide and conquer’ strategy, it still wasn’t willing to give up on acquiring this powerful body!

At all costs, it must attain it!

The other five Void Refining Stage demons also considered this possibility, but faced with the command from their Highness in the center, they had no room to refuse, not even daring to slack off. Otherwise, the consequences would be far worse than death... They would rather die in battle against the Stone Spirit than endure that being’s methods...

Immediately after the Stone Spirit had left, they followed in pursuit.

As expected, just as they began the chase, the three Void Refining Stage demons who hadn’t reached king level were the first to be left behind, even after burning some of their vital essence, they still couldn’t keep up with the three ahead.

But they weren’t disappointed; instead, they were somewhat delighted. This way, they wouldn’t be used as cannon fodder for His Highness, having burned their essence to prove their loyalty was enough.

Subsequently, one of the two king-level demons, due to not being skilled in speed, gradually fell behind, only able to keep pace from afar by burning vital essence.

Meanwhile, the speed-specialized king-level void-refining demon was full of despair, wishing fervently that its speed wasn’t this fast so it wouldn’t be made cannon fodder.

It was now left as the sole cannon fodder!

"Damn it, these damn bastards!"

This king-level demon was so exasperated that it even considered teaming up with the Stone Spirit to eliminate the Black Hole Demon God.

It bore no resentment towards the Stone Spirit since they were invaders, and the Star Sea World was merely prey from their perspective. It could be greedy for prey and fearful of powerful prey, but it wouldn’t harbor resentment.

The one incurring its wrath was instead this high-handed "Your Highness"!

If the end was inevitable death, why not drag down an esteemed bloodline with it?

That way, dying wouldn’t feel so wasted, otherwise, there’d be no sense in dying miserably as cannon fodder.
