NOVPUB"Since you’ve already made a move to test us, why not go all the way and let us old timers see what you have learned in the Human World during these two millennia since you left the Abyss."
The Demon Andrews clenched his claw into a fist and hurled it toward Lance.
The moment the Demon Fist ripped through the air, it caused a sonic boom, and the void trembled.
As the explosion resounded, the void fragmented like a shattered mirror, riddled with cracks.
Two violent and primitive forces had split the void.
As the eclipsing Demon Fist smashed down, Lance swung his fist to meet it, and the moment the large and small fists collided, the shock wave shattered the void.
At the same time, the massive force sent the Demon Andrews stumbling back several steps, and a severe pain transmitted from his claw.
The floor beneath Lance crumbled into dust.
Even his feet sank into the earth.
Andrews’ fist was swift, but fortunately, his reaction was not slow.
Even though his vital energy was on the decline, he still possessed such ferocious and violent strength; the old fellow was truly formidable.
Stabilizing himself, the Demon Andrews was astonished by Lance’s power. He was a Power Demon, and with such strength, even the Fallen Angel Justin, unprepared and caught off guard, would have his arm broken by the sheer power of his punch.
Lance had not only resisted his punch without breaking an arm but also didn’t budge an inch; moreover, in a hasty counterattack, his fierce and violent strength sent Andrews retreating four or five steps...
How strong was this guy, really?
The toughness of his body far exceeded Andrews’ expectations.
No bones in his arm were fractured, and the hand that clenched into a fist... showed no signs of any broken finger bones.
Other parts of his body didn’t show signs of bone fractures either.
This was proof enough of Lance’s physical toughness.
Hmm?
Was he bleeding?
Lance’s corner of the mouth was bleeding?
Internal injury?
Could it be that Lance had suffered internal damage from that punch?
Even though Lance wiped the blood from his mouth swiftly, Andrews still saw it.
So it seemed Lance’s bodily toughness wasn’t as formidable as he had thought.
"Cough... At your old age, your fist is still so strong and fierce; the older you get, the stronger you become."
To deceive the few old timers present, Lance intentionally let a tiny bit of blood show at the corner of his mouth, which he quickly concealed.
The blood of Pureblood Dragons.
Not something to be shed carelessly.
Let alone his own; perhaps he could Refine this drop of Dragon Blood to see if he could refine a "Black Dragon Pill."
The Fallen Angel Justin, upon witnessing this scene, narrowed his eyes slightly... this young one had hidden his depths well.
If not for sensing the faint divine presence within him, he might have been fooled by this youngster.
Being able to move freely between the Abyss and the Human World suggested that the youngster’s identity was not simple.
Not to mention his performance just now.
To have exchanged blows with the Power Demon Andrews on short notice, only to bleed slightly—the strength he had gained in over two thousand years... had an unfathomable depth to it.
"Andrews, you have taken a punch from me, now take a palm strike from me."
Lance swiftly formed seals with his hands, preparing to show Andrews the "Dharma Aspect Universe."
Behind him, an avatar about three hundred meters tall appeared, an image of himself.
The moment Lance’s avatar appeared, he furiously thrust his right palm toward Andrews.
First, Andrews felt darkness envelop him, and then, when he saw the light again, it was the blazing giant palm.
Where the palm passed, the void split open.
He threw a punch.
When the fist met palm, the tumultuous and violent power caused the bones in his Demon Fist to crack, and the force on his fist did not shatter the blazing palm.
The giant palm kept pressing down, the flagstone beneath Andrews cracked, and his feet sank into the earth.
```
What a joke?!
He was the Power Demon, how could he possibly be suppressed by a nobody, a junior who wasn’t even of the royal family?
Andrews roared, his figure swelling once again, heedless of the pain in his demonic claws, he struck out wildly again at the giant palm trying to suppress him.
Lance, witnessing this, again strengthened the power in his Dharma Aspect.
We’ve come this far, there’s no room for holding back.
Either Andrews would shatter his Dharma Aspect with his own power or be suppressed by him.
Holding back, for a demon of his level, was a humiliation.
More unbearable than being outright defeated.
Power of Mountains and Rivers!
As Lance uttered a low chant in his heart, the palm of his Dharma Aspect manifested the illusory shadows of mountains and lakes.
"Laws?!"
Fallen Angel Justin was shocked at this sight, Lance had comprehended the Power of the Laws of Mountains and Rivers?
The strong ones of the Medusa clan, the Blood Clan, and the dark night angels were all shaken by the illusory mountains and lakes on Lance’s Dharma Aspect palm.
It was too much like the Power of Laws.
Suppress!
With a heavy downward press of Lance’s right hand, the massive palm of the Dharma Aspect hit the great Demon Andrews with a heavy blow, knocking him down.
Seeing the vast demonic body of Andrews fall, Lance cracked a smile and madly jabbed at Andrews’ body with fingers of his Dharma Aspect.
It wouldn’t severely injure Andrews, but it would make him feel pain.
Picking on my Dragon Cub, bullying, threatening, and luring an underage me.
He still remembered when the Demon Princess Christine challenged him and was defeated, how this old demon appeared right in front of him and intimidated him with overwhelming strength.
Afterward, he would still occasionally look for chances to give him a hard time under the guise of guidance...
After jabbing madly at Andrews for several hundred times, Lance suddenly felt refreshed, his spirit clear and his Dao heart bright.
The Dharma Aspect Universe dissipated.
"Lance!!!"
"Lord Andrews, I won this encounter, you need not be disheartened, this is quite normal, the current you is in decline, not in the peak condition in any aspect, losing to me, a righteously vigorous rising star... is quite normal.
Everything has its time, I am now in my prime, wait another few thousand years when my vitality wanes, by then... the up-and-comers of the Demon Royal Family would be able to defeat me easily.
I’m betting on Bettina, if one day in the future I am to be defeated by a rising star of the Demon Royal Family, I think that demon will definitely be Bettina.
The new waves push the old ones forward, and the world of floating affairs constantly changes."
Lance looked up with a sense of emotion, incidentally consoling the old demon Andrews.
He also gave the old demon an opportunity to have his juniors seek revenge for him.
If, over two thousand years later, Bettina indeed comes looking for him, then by that time, he would let a young Dragon take his place in the battle against Bettina.
Because by then, he would still be in his prime, possibly stronger than he was now.
No helping it, after all, he could live tens of thousands of years.
Having defeated Andrews, Lance’s gaze fell on the Fallen Angel Justin.
"Heh, it seems your battle with Andrews has got your blood boiling and roused your desire to fight, Are you looking at me because you want to fight with me?"
Lance shook his head, "It’s not that I want to battle you all, it’s you who want to battle me. I’ve repeatedly expressed my reluctance to fight, but you seem to prefer using battle to understand the current me.
Since I cannot avoid it, I might as well fulfill everyone’s wish, and take this opportunity to test my combat strength through battle with you all, and to see my own shortcomings."
Justin smirked, the sly and cunning nature of the Demon Race was fully exemplified in Lance’s demeanor.
How could such a guy cultivate his followers in the Human World and collect the power of faith?
And his power of faith is still so pure and bright.
"If that’s the case, then let me show you the true strength of us old folks, it’s not that you’re stronger than Andrews, he just failed to show his real power in time.
Kid, come, let me take you to the Divine Kingdom, oh, I misspoke, it’s the Demon Kingdom now."
As soon as the last word fell, a layer of black and golden light immediately enveloped Lance.
Domain—The Divine Kingdom Descends!
