Chapter 725 - A Divine Weapon's Might

Screech!

As Aria and the rest of the group darted through the maze, following the same route back to the tomb's entrance, the Mother h.e.l.lbiter's high-pitched cry rang throughout the Demon King-level Tomb.

The worse of their fears had come true!

With the enormous Mother h.e.l.lbiter waking up, it immediately scanned its surroundings before locking onto the group.

In that instance, Aria and the others immediately felt a suffocating pressure weighing down on them, making their steps feel heavier.

Its glistening killing intent and bloodthirst were dense enough to shatter a person's spirit and make them break down in fear.

Fortunately, everyone was battle-hardened with tempered wills, and the only person without it had been knocked out by Aria.

"Dammit! All of you keep going! I will draw its attention and buy you all time to escape!" One-Eyed Venerable Shaman barked at the group.

"How can we just leave you, Venerable—"

"Just do as I say!" One-Eyed Venerable Shaman roared.

An Arch Demon-level monster wasn't something that any of them could face. Even the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman wasn't the Mother h.e.l.lbiter's opponent.

But if his sacrifice could give everyone else a chance at survival, he would gladly do it. He had lived long enough.

Let it be his final glory.

One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's decision was firm, and his conviction was set. He was ready to die for his conviction.

Boom!

Suddenly, before the Mother h.e.l.lbiter could drop down from the ceiling and engage One-Eyed Venerable shaman, a crimson-black blazing bone spear shot over like a missile and struck the Arch Demon-level spider.

Screech!

The Mother h.e.l.lbiter immediately screeched in pain after Leon's Tier-4 Bone Spear infused in Fire Law and Nihility Law blinded one of its eyes.

It searched for the culprit with its remaining eyes for a while before finally locking onto Leon's location in the resting ground—not with its eyes but with its sharp senses to vibration.

Leon's spear toss had been like an airplane taking off from a runway after he maximized his divine sense and divine will, ripping a hole straight through dense ma.s.ses of woody flesh that blocked his exit.

Nevertheless, the Mother h.e.l.lbiter's killing intent and bloodthirst immediately surged to new heights.

"Go!" Leon's urgent voice trickled over.

While One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was surprised, he quickly recovered and nodded in Leon's direction with appreciation before he continued to lead everyone else out of the tomb.

"Let's go! Don't waste the chance Young Master Leonhardt has given us!" One-Eyed Venerable Shaman hollered.

At the same time, Aria's heart and belief were shaken.

If Leon had to face both the Mother h.e.l.lbiter and the army of the second trial, his slim chance of survival would be even slimmer. There was no way he could survive that.

Her eyes swelled with tears as she hesitated to leave.

As if knowing what Aria felt at that moment despite being separated by two caves and endless sp.a.w.ns of monsters, Leon made a promise to rea.s.sure her.

"Believe in me and go, Aria! I swear I will make it through this and get back to you! Our journey won't end here!"

Following Leon's words, One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and the others felt a powerful stir in the atmosphere, prompting them to look back with Aria.

A brilliant light s.h.i.+ned through the temporary gap Leon previously made before its divine glow quickly turned jet-black and demonic.

After throwing away his Tier-4 Bone Spear to draw the Mother h.e.l.lbiter's attention over, Leon had immediately drawn out the Tier-7 Sword from the Worlds.p.a.ce.

The divine weapon automatically absorbed the power of his various laws and transformed it, boosting his attack power greatly.

With a single swing of the Tier-7 Sword, dozens of monsters were directly cleaved in two while thousands more were killed by the rippling effect of the sword aura.

None of the elemental laws' distinctive traits could be found in the attack.

It was as if Leon's power was simply fuel for the weapon to bring out its unique effect, which seemed closely similar to Sword Intent.

A Swordsman could train for a lifetime and not use Sword Intent, but a single Tier-7 divine weapon could immediately replicate its effect.

It was indeed a phenomenal weapon.

"So strong…" Leon muttered with surprise.

Even without learning and Sword Arts, he felt like he could slaughter everything obstructing his path with raw power.

Nevertheless, he did not forget to continue swinging his divine weapon and slaughter the endless sp.a.w.ns of enemies around him.

…

"The Demon King's inheritance! If Young Master Leonhardt uses the Demon King's inheritance, then there's no way he won't be able to survive!" One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was a.s.sured that Leon had the means of survival.

At the same time, Aria was also relieved to hear that.

Although she wasn't sure what Leon obtained in the resting ground, it should include the Demon King's Demon Core at the very least.

If Leon used something like that, dealing with Arch Demon-level monsters shouldn't be an issue.

A huge burden was lifted off Aria's heart, allowing her to leave the tomb without worries along with One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and the others.

However, perhaps due to her tight nerves relaxing, she had forgotten a simple truth about cultivation.

The Demon King's Demon Core may contain the lifetime cultivation of the Demon King, but if the new vessel isn't strong enough, they would only destroy themselves while trying to absorb its powers.

Only someone at the level of Demon Lords, Celestials, and Divine Origin Realm pract.i.tioners or higher could absorb the Demon King's powers without risk of implosion.

But ignoring all the facts above, the most crucial point was Leon did not even have the Abyssal Wood Demon King's Demon Core.

However, Aria and the others did not know this.

…

Boom!

After the group left, the enormous Mother h.e.l.lbiter shattered the crumbling walls obstructing it from entering the second trial ground on a forward path towards Leon.

"I was worried that my strength might be inadequate to break through the defense of an Arch Demon-level monster like the Mother h.e.l.lbiter, but…"

As Leon muttered, he swung the Tier-7 divine weapon and slaughtered several thousands more wood-like creatures.

"But with a divine weapon like this in my hand, I now know that I was worried over nothing," Leon's eyes flickered with fighting spirit.
