Chapter 84: The Battle of Demon Gods
Yue Ye, standing by, couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Ever since she had been inexplicably summoned back by Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, Yue Ye had sensed a vague discomfort in her heart.
> "Men Di, what was His Majesty's reason for calling me back?" Yue Ye asked.
> "Sorry, I can't say," Men Di answered calmly.
As expected.
Though Men Di didn't answer directly, Yue Ye could tell from his words to Lin Ze that this whole situation was very likely related to her.
But Yue Ye couldn't understand—what did Sidi's Demon God Pillar Challenge have to do with her?
Just as she was about to continue asking—
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Dark clouds swirled ominously over the dueling ground.
Then, three beams of colored light appeared on the high platform opposite them.
The crowd, which had been buzzing with voices, fell completely silent.
Then, the thunderous sound of 100,000 demons rising in unison echoed across the arena—
> "Welcome, Your Majesty!"
The arena quaked as the shout echoed skyward!
> "Very well—let us begin."
As the three beams of light faded, the figures of Feng Xiu, the Moon Demon Agares, and the Star Demon Vashak appeared before the crowd.
Beside Feng Xiu stood A Bao.
With their arrival, everyone who should be present—was now here.
Feng Xiu took a single step forward. An invisible pressure radiated from him.
Even in this coliseum that could hold 100,000 demons, not a sound could be heard.
Then, Feng Xiu spoke slowly:
> "You may be seated. Since the time has come—let the challenge begin."
> "Pal, Sidi—enter the arena."
As the words fell—
A deafening thunder cracked overhead!
> TZZZHH!
A harsh hissing sound came from the sky, and a bolt of lightning slammed into the field.
A tall, muscular figure descended from the sky—
His limbs rippled with explosive strength, and arcs of lightning crackled constantly around him.
This was the Lightning Demon God Pal, ranked tenth among the Demon Gods.
As Pal appeared, waves of cheers rose throughout the stadium.
> "Sidi! Sidi!"
Despite Pal's overwhelming support, Sidi had her own fanbase.
Even before she arrived, her name was already echoing across the arena.
At that moment—
A swarm of blood-red butterflies appeared in the center of the field.
They gathered, then dispersed—revealing the elegant, tall figure of Love Demon God Sidi, standing 200 meters opposite from Pal.
At such a high level, 200 meters was the standard for fair dueling distance—just enough for both parties to react.
As Sidi took form, the crowd erupted.
A battle between the top ten pillars of the Demon Gods—just imagining it was enough to make hearts pound.
Facing Sidi's appearance, the blue-skinned Lightning Demon God Pal scoffed:
> "Sidi, who gave you the courage to challenge me?"
> "I'll admit—your group attack abilities might be superior to mine now. But in single combat? You're not qualified."
Though his tone wasn't loud, every word was amplified by spiritual power, making sure the entire audience heard.
At this moment, Men Di, sitting beside Lin Ze, spoke quietly:
> "Objectively speaking, Sidi and Pal's spiritual power is very close."
> "But Pal is famous for direct strength and frontal assault, while Sidi specializes in controlling hearts and group manipulation. Her forbidden technique, Demon Desire Dance, is tailored for group warfare."
> "In battlefield command, Sidi might be the best among all Demon Gods—second only to His Majesty himself."
> "But she just reached the fifth level of the ninth rank and may not yet fully master domain combat."
> "Pal, on the other hand, has been at ninth-rank level five for years. His domain, Breaking the Seal, is incredibly destructive. Rationally speaking—her chances of winning are slim."
Lin Ze, however, was unfazed.
Based on his understanding of Sidi, she would never act without absolute confidence.
Especially after Lin Ze had absorbed the passion crystal of fear—through the Demon Pillar, Sidi's command over that emotion had already evolved.
That was also why she was so determined to make Lin Ze her inheritor.
Back on the field—
Sidi, after hearing Pal's taunt, simply chuckled:
> "Pal, you talk big for someone who was once severely injured by humans. What right do you have to act so high and mighty before me?"
> "I've already wasted enough time waiting for you to heal."
Her words stabbed straight at his pride.
Pal's face twisted in fury.
> "Damn you, Sidi!"
> "You've angered me enough—prepare to die!"
Suddenly—
An overwhelming aura exploded from Pal's body.
Even the stone beneath him cracked under the pressure.
If not for the Star Demon God's protective barrier, many demons below the ninth level would already be suffocating from the force.
Then—
Pal struck.
His entire form transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, crashing toward Sidi with terrifying force.
Any ordinary ninth-level expert would have been instantly reduced to ash.
But—
Sidi didn't dodge.
She calmly took a step forward.
The moment Pal's lightning hit—
It passed through her like a stone through water.
Dozens of red butterflies exploded outward.
As the lightning faded, the butterflies reassembled—Sidi stood unharmed.
> "W-What?!"
> "When did I fall into your illusion?!"
Pal froze in place, realizing too late that he'd been drawn into her illusion.
Sidi's voice rang out, calm and disdainful:
> "Pal, you'd better bring out your real strength. Otherwise—this match is already over."
She waved her arm—
Suddenly, countless red spider lilies began to bloom across the battlefield.
Their blood-red petals blanketed the arena.
> "What terrifying illusion magic..." Yue Ye muttered from the stands.
Sidi hadn't just fooled Pal—she'd trapped the entire audience in an illusion.
Pal looked down at the lilies blooming beneath him—and a terrible premonition gripped his heart.
Suddenly—
Amid the flickering lightning, he saw it:
Transparent threads—a web of spiritual silk—coated the battlefield.
> "I underestimated you, Sidi..."
> "In that case, let me show you my true power!"
From the sky—
A gigantic pillar fell, wrapped in devastating lightning.
Its aura was destructive beyond belief.
> "He's about to fully manifest his Demon Pillar," Men Di said beside Lin Ze. His tone was calm—but serious.
