Close combat has begun.

Faced with the powerful strike launched by Eric, the demon directly swung a punch.

"Bang!"

The air emitted an explosive sound.

The powerful strike formed a small shield, blocking right in front of the demon.

Wanshan also whipped its tail, rapidly piercing toward Eric, attempting to pierce through the latter's body.

However.

Something unexpected happened.

Eric suddenly vanished without a trace.

In the place where he was, two dark objects suddenly appeared.

Thermobaric bombs!

At this moment.

A trace of grief and anger flashed involuntarily in the vertical pupils of the demon.

You thought you were gearing up for a head-on clash, all poised for direct combat.

Unexpectedly, you deceived me to get closer and then threw bombs in my face!

No warrior's spirit!

"Boom!"

Fiery flames erupted.

The demon was thrown back once again.

This time it was closer to the core area and suffered significant injuries.

Most of Wanshan's tail vanished completely, with the remaining part looking almost like charcoal.

After a moment.

Eric reappeared, swinging his war axe.

This demon was genuinely terrified.

The enemy's tricks were endless, and it was truly tormented, sincerely unwilling to continue the fight.

More crucially, it had no idea from beginning to end what kind of methods the enemy was using.

Wanshan launched a retaliatory strike, like a cannonball shooting into the distance.

This demon planned to retreat.

At the same time.

Wanshan turned its head for a glance.

The next moment.

It saw the scene it had anticipated.

Eric vanished again.

The demon's heart trembled, its entire being went numb.

Again?

Are you done or not?!

"Boom!"

Wanshan was blown away for the Nth time.

One second later.

Eric appeared again.

This demon fell into deep confusion, even completely losing the desire to resist.

No way.

The enemy's tactics were too shameless, it simply couldn't play along.

Just then.

"Buzz!"

Wanshan felt a ringing sound in its head, a dizzy sensation overcoming it.

This was an attack from the Spirit Beast Mark.

The superpower had a trait that if the mark could not merge with the enemy's soul, it would convert into a spiritual burst.

It was quite a remarkable attack skill.

Wanshan looked horrified.

The demon realized that this was the enemy's real killer move.

It had suffered significant injuries and was hit by the spiritual burst, reacting half a beat slower, unable to defend in time.

By this point.

Eric unleashed full power.

It let out a roar, with tens of thousands of vine strands erupting from its body, stabbing toward the demon like frenzied devils.

"Woo! Woo!"

The vines cut through the air, producing a sky full of sharp whistles.

Wanshan managed to throw a punch, shattering thousands of vine strands.

The remaining tens of thousands of vine strands wrapped it layer upon layer, instantly turning it into a large dumpling.

*

Meanwhile.

Yang Fan's heart burst with joy: "Success!"

After careful planning and scrutinizing countless details, he finally captured the demon.

This time, in defeating the demon, two supreme treasures played a crucial role.

The first naturally was the Space Pearl.

First construct the spatial passage, then hurl the thermobaric bomb, directly leaving the demon questioning its existence.

The second was the Shuttle Boat.

Yang Fan helped Eric leap continuously, leaving the demon spinning in circles, almost driving it to despair.

The formidable power of the combined treasures achieved the remarkable feat of the weak triumphing over the strong.

At this moment.

Yang Fan looked toward the Spirit Tree Space, his mind gently stirred.

"Buzz!"

The Spirit Tree, over a hundred meters high, shook several times.

This was a great tree grown from the Spirit Fruit of the extraterrestrial giant tree, swallowed by the Space Pearl.

The Spirit Tree divided out a region from the Space Pearl, building the Spirit Tree Space.

Yang Fan had thought of various ways to help the Spirit Tree grow, but the effects were pitifully small.

Previously, when he first saw the Destroyer, the Spirit Tree conveyed a message to him.

The tree sensed the demon's aura from the Destroyer and expressed a desire to devour the demon.

So the main purpose of planning this battle was precisely to help the Spirit Tree devour the demon.

*

On the battlefield.

Wanshan suddenly discovered something terrifying.

These vines surprisingly generated a suction force, greedily extracting its life force.

Although the suction force of each vine was not large, the sheer number of vines was overwhelming.

Quantity changed into quality.

The demon completely lost control over its body, helplessly watching itself being drained.

Five seconds later.

The black scales on the demon's body lost their luster and began to fall off piece by piece.

This was a phenomenon in their race, only appearing when they entered a state of decay.

Ten seconds later.

The demon turned into a dried corpse.

Eric waved his hands again.

The myriad silken vines retracted.

He looked at the demon's corpse, a trace of awe flashing in his eyes.

Only after Eric advanced to the warrior level did he understand how powerful this horned monster truly was.

When the opponent punched, it caused a strong sense of suffocation in him.

Between a High Rank Warrior and an Early stage Warrior, there are two whole rank gaps, an immense chasm.

But such a powerful monster was killed by its master.

After a moment.

The space suddenly flickered.

Eric and the corpse disappeared simultaneously.

*

Several kilometers away.

A transport plane of the Carmenia Air Force was rapidly ascending.

The consecutive explosions of several thermobaric bombs created strong air currents, greatly affecting the transport plane.

Worried about crashing, the pilot decisively chose to increase altitude and steer away from the explosion area.

Jeremy sat obediently in his seat, with a safety belt fastened, an old face full of worry.

The leader of the Mount of Gods initially thought this would be a pleasant journey, with the added bonus of witnessing Lord Wanshan's power.

Yet, he never expected the battle to turn out this way.

From the looks of it, Lord Wanshan seems to have suffered a great loss.

After a few seconds.

Jeremy took out a communication device, asking nervously, "Lord Wanshan, are you still there?"

No response.

Jeremy's heart sank instantly.

He gazed down at the earth through the cabin window, seeing that the explosion of the thermobaric bombs had ignited a massive amount of vegetation.

This burning land looked like the legendary Flame Hell.

In a daze, Jeremy had an illusion that a devil more terrifying than Lord Wanshan was lurking here.

He speculated in a low voice, "Could this be a trap set by the Titan Corpse Royals?"

Jeremy shook his head, "Lord Wanshan was too underestimating."

He hesitated no longer and decisively ordered, "Return to Mount of Gods."

"Yes!"

The huge transport plane circled in the air, roaring away.

For this leader, the mysterious was just an object to be leveraged.

Now that Lord Wanshan's life or death was unknown, he only felt regret for a moment before completely letting it go.

The knowledge was already in hand, after all.

Although without Lord Wanshan's guidance, the research progress would be greatly slowed.

But this was not a big problem.

With more manpower and resources invested, there would be results sooner or later.

What's a few lives anyway?

The Carmenia Federation could afford the cost!

*

In the wilderness.

Yang Fan looked up, watching the transport plane fly away, muttering softly, "They sure run fast!"

He knew for sure someone important from the Carmenia Federation was on that plane.

In fact, he had the ability to intercept it, but he ultimately gave up.

The reason was simple.

People filled with such private desires ruling the Carmenia Federation would only lead to increasing chaos on this land.

For Great Xia, this was a good thing instead.

Yang Fan turned his gaze to the Spirit Tree Space.

He saw Mr. Demon's dried corpse wrapped in more silken vines, suspended tens of meters in the air.

The Spirit Tree was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, branches extending and leaves sprouting.

Just within a few seconds.

The Spirit Tree had already grown two meters taller, far surpassing all its previous growth during this period.

It's noteworthy that many branches had green flower buds growing.

At a glance, there were no fewer than a hundred of them.

And once there are buds, it's only a matter of time before they bear Spirit Fruits.

Yang Fan glanced around, a thought immediately popped into his mind: "Good stuff!"

This was the intuition brought by his Super Sensing Superpower.

He looked at the corpse, a complex expression on his face: "Who would have thought this was just a clone."

This was information obtained by using his Spirit Communication Superpower to read the demon's soul.

The clone created by a Clone Puppet is merely a vessel carrying the soul, with the clone and the main body sharing the same soul.

However, the demon's clone was different.

Although its core originated from a fragment of the main body's soul, it possessed an independent consciousness.

Such a clone posed the risk of getting out of control and even potentially replacing the main body.

Yang Fan smacked his lips, a suspicion emerged in his mind: "Could this demon's main body be a Knight Level powerhouse?"

He shook his head, "Even if it's a knight, finding me wouldn't be easy, so there's no need to worry too much yet."

Yang Fan then held the Soul Stealing Wisp, checking the spoils of this battle.

With just a glance, he couldn't help but smile.

194.6 Spiritual Source Points!

3.8 True Origin Points!

And two fairly powerful superpowers.

〖Demon Devouring〗: Not activated, Middle grade Physical Superpower, activation requires 36 Spiritual Source Value.

〖Inch Light〗: Not activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, activation requires 6 Spiritual Source Value.

One Middle Grade, one high-quality Low Grade.

This was absolutely a big harvest.

According to the information from Soul Stealing Wisp, Demon Devouring is an enhanced version of Greed.

The reason for this demon's high physical Value was entirely due to this superpower.

Moreover,

Demon Devouring also had the effect of quickly healing injuries.

It healed wounds by devouring others' life force.

But the Canglan People were too weak, and Mr. Demon couldn't find suitable supplements, which was why the injuries sustained during the descent had not been fully healed.

As for Inch Light,

Yang Fan looked at the description and felt relieved, "Luckily, I didn't engage in close combat with this demon."

Inch Light has a quite powerful effect—to store a portion of Strong Manifestation, suddenly bursting it out during combat.

Wanshan stored this portion of Strong Manifestation in his Tail Whip.

If Inch Light suddenly burst, it could achieve over three times the damage.

This was a very astonishing figure.

It was also a Secret Technique at the killer move level.

Yang Fan absolutely doubted his ability to withstand a triple-damage attack from a High Rank Warrior's full strike.
