Chapter 736: Burning of the Left Arm

Chen Rui did not move. The black flames of the [Black Phoenix Territory] contained a strange breath which could absorb life and spirit power. Any movement, even mental thinking, would consume more strength than usual. If the time extended, the burden caused would be quite shocking. This was only the surface power of the [Black Phoenix Territory].

The strange thing was that Chen Rui felt that his body inexplicably had a strange power which actually appeared to be a strange fit with the [Black Phoenix Territory]. Not only was he not affected by the debuff state, but there was a warm feeling as if this terrifying territory was a comfortable nest.

Is it the Nirvana power in the body? Or is it due to the [Fire Phoenix Stigmata]?

[Fire Phoenix Stigmata] can reduce fire damage by 90%, and there is a 10% chance of being completely immune, but the flame of [Black Phoenix Territory] is not a pure fire power… Chen Rui was a little puzzled, but he had no time to think about it as 4 golden human figures surrounded him.

These figures were about 2 meters tall. Their eyes were shining with pale red light, their facial features were slightly blurred, and their bodies were engraved with strange patterns like totems.

It was not the first time that Chen Rui had seen this kind of human figure. In the Crystal Valley, it was the 4 best golden puppets that made Azgalor, the peak stage of the Demon Emperor, run away. Now, he not only had to face the [Black Phoenix Territory] and the 4 golden puppets, but also Catherine who was even more powerful.

The 4 golden puppets had encircled him. Asmodeus Royal Family's [War Puppet] talent was famous in the Demon Realm. These puppets were made using the power of their own bloodline and mixed with the secret technique. The higher the level, the stronger the combat power. Not only could it not feel any pain, it was extremely tough as it would not stop until it died. The ones activated by Catherine were enough to match the peak stage of the Demon Overlord.

Chen Rui's hands drew ripples to circle the golden puppets into a strange force field that was soft like water.

A surprised expression flashed past Catherine's eyes. This combat skill was somewhat similar to her technique. In fact, Chen Rui comprehended this after he witnessed Catherine's battle in the Crystal Valley last time, combined with the mystery of water. For a time, the golden puppets were stumbling around. They could not unleash their power.

The golden puppets' bodies shone circles of light yellow light, and Chen Rui's body seemed to be bound by an intangible rope. It was difficult to move for a while. This was the skill that only the best puppet had. When Chen Rui's hands made an embracing gesture, a huge black hole appeared beside him, and the binding light was sucked into the black hole. Not only that, the flame of the entire [Black Phoenix Territory] was quickly devoured by the black hole. The golden puppets were also dragged step by step toward the black hole.

All of a sudden, Chen Rui had a warning omen in his mind. Catherine's figure had appeared behind him like a ghost. Her knife-like palms pierced through his body silently. Catherine's brow furrowed. It turned out that the seemingly successful attack was in vain. The opponent's figure had instantly appeared in the distance, and the strange devouring black hole gradually disappeared. Several destructive light balls whistled over. As Catherine spread her palm to draw a circle, the speed of those light balls suddenly slowed down as if they were in the mud, and they were lit up by the black flame. The light balls quickly began to shrink. When they reached Catherine, they were only the size of a fist. With a wave, they disappeared without a trace.

The figures of the 2 separated and merged quickly in the territory. Chen Rui fought hard against the holy dragon possessed by Dodo in the Tower of Glory, then he later battled against Dodo many times for training. So when he faced Catherine's strength, he appeared at ease even though his strength was suppressed at the disadvantage. Of course, not being affected by the [Black Phoenix Territory] was also a key factor.

Catherine obviously noticed the problem with her own territory. There was a glimmer of cold light across her beautiful eyes, and the strength of [Black Phoenix Territory] suddenly increased tenfold. It turned out that Catherine had not used all her power all the time. However, that [Black Phoenix Territory]'s debuff and absorption still couldn't have an effect on Chen Rui, but the feeling of warmth became more intense.

“Whoosh“, Chen Rui, who was repelled to the distance, suddenly burned with black flames.

Catherine paused and looked at the black flame braving the familiar breath in disbelief, “Nirvana's Flame!”

That's right, very pure nirvana power! The flame of life exclusive to the Asmodeus Royal Family actually appeared on this human body!

“How can you own Nirvana's Flame?”

“I don't know. I have this kind of flame power after getting your Nirvana blood at the Silent Night Wetland.” The real reason should be the Super System, but Chen Rui would definitely not say it. Nonetheless, he was surprised that since entering the [Black Phoenix Territory], Nirvana's Flame had been flickering, then it just burst out on its own.

“Impossible!” Catherine frowned. People who get the blood of Nirvana would at best resurrect. It is absolutely impossible for people who are not from the Asmodeus Royal Family to have the power of Nirvana. There has never been such an example in the history of the royal family. Even if the Asmodeus Royal Family has the power of Nirvana, it is impossible to be immune to my territory's power.

Chen Rui was about to speak when he felt a burning sensation from his left arm, and the black flame on his body suddenly flourished, extending into the sea of ​​fire of the [Black Phoenix Territory] and actually blending into 1.

Catherine was taken aback and only felt that the [Black Phoenix Territory] had incorporated a strange kind of strength which seemed to be a purer force of nirvana. At the same time, a strange feeling invaded her body. Her face suddenly blushed abnormally and said angrily, “Stop!”

Chen Rui himself didn't understand how Nirvana's Flame could suddenly undergo such an abnormal change, let alone why a burning sensation came from his left arm.

While in doubt, [Black Phoenix Territory] had disappeared and they returned to the original courtyard. Catherine, who had retrieved her strength, looked a bit strange, but her expression was extremely cold, “What despicable means did you use?”

Chen Rui felt wronged as she was the one who made a move first, and now she blamed him. Nevertheless, after the [Black Phoenix Territory] disappeared, the burning sensation in his left arm also faded. It was almost like some resonance-like mutation caused by the blood of Nirvana.

“I didn't do anything, maybe… it's the mark that you left me last time, the mark that goes deep into my life.”

Catherine didn't speak and just stared at him closely. The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Chen Rui was sweating on his forehead from the stare. He finally spoke up, “Uh… Catherine, let's not fight. Although I am not your opponent, I still have a way if I want to escape. “

Catherine said coldly, “Your strength growth is astonishing. As far as combat power is concerned, it has far surpassed the average peak stage of the Demon Overlord. No wonder even Obsidian died in your hands. I know you still have some hidden skills. In terms of strength, you have barely qualified to have an equal dialogue with me.”

Chen Rui understood that Catherine did not use all her strength. The battle just now was more of a test, and he already faintly guessed her true intentions, “Since this is the case… Can we continue the previous conversation calmly?”

“Do you think we can?” Catherine asked back with a displeased expression.

“Shamelessly speaking, don't I play a vital role in your grand plan for the future?” Chen Rui grinned, “Without me as a key figure, then even if you win half of the Fallen Angel Empire, It is also difficult to contend with the Bloody Empire. In other words, the war between the 2 empires will be protracted. Can you bear to see the people being dragged into wars that will last for hundreds of thousands of years or even longer?”

“You overestimated yourself.” Catherine sneered, “If my guess is right, Raizen may have reached the kingdom level after coming out of the closed training. Upon reaching this level, he must spend a lot of time and effort comprehending and training in order to stabilize the kingdom and explore the mystery of faith. Raizen is a person who pursues strength at all costs and will definitely abandon the position of king to focus on the road of strength. Neither Aleus or Teris can compare with Raizen. If Raizen leaves, the Bloody Empire's strength will definitely decline and may be taken advantage of by me or Shea. Therefore, Raizen must clear the obstacles for the Bloody Empire before he leaves the throne. Although it is not the best time to use troops, he still went all out without hesitation.”

Chen Rui suddenly realized it. No wonder that Raizen was so eager to launch the war. This is actually the case.

“Haste makes waste. I'm ready for a protracted battle. As long as I can use the Fallen Angel Empire's estates as a buffer zone to withstand the first few waves of the Bloody Empire's offense. The Bloody Empire will become weaker toward the end. Even without your help, I can still succeed, but the time will be longer.”

“May I ask a question.” Chen Rui asked humbly, “How could the Bloody Empire suddenly have 6 million elites?”

“The Bloody Empire is a well-developed agricultural empire. The folkway is extremely strong, brave and competitive. 60% of the residents of the empire are engaged in planting. A considerable number of them are the most terrifying warriors when they put down their farm tools and pick up the sword.”

Chen Rui was secretly shocked when he thought of the Xiongnu people who were soldiers in the history of China.

“This strength cannot be hoarded in a short time, but the past Bloody Empire kings have not lacked the ambition to unify the Demon Realm. Therefore, the number of 6 million… is just the minimum.” Catherine's face showed a solemn expression, “In the war that conquered the human world, the 3 empires all lost a lot of troops and elites. The Fallen Angel Empire was the most, and even the Lord of Midnight Sun died. However, in comparison to the Bloody Empire with great background, the loss of strength was the smallest, so it can replace the Fallen Angel Empire and become the strongest empire.”

“At that time, if you hadn't spotted the right time to join forces with Obsidian to pressure, forcing Raizen to sign an alliance agreement, the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire have already perished.” Chen Rui smiled slightly, “Since you could see the situation clearly at that time, why not now? The reason why Raizen's use of troops is not the best time is because the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire are cooperative empires. We have common interests in multiple fields. Once the 2 empires are united, it is very difficult for the Bloody Empire to win this war. On the contrary, the 2 empires are likely to be invaded individually. You said just now that the 6 million elites are only the minimum, then please answer me truthfully, even if the Fallen Angel Empire consumes part of the Bloody Empire's strength … Is the Dark Shadow Empire really sure that it can withstand Raizen who went all out?”

Catherine was silent for a moment, and she finally said the real answer, “No.”

TL: So, she was just testing his strength all along? Does she want to rely on this man whom she deems as an idiot? Also, will Ms. Duoduo revive with stronger power?
