--- Chapter 242 ---
The Heavenly King of Horror and Heavenly King of Crow grimaced at this situation. They didn't expect Tempest to appear and ruined the balance of the fight.
They knew Tempest. She was the 7th ranked Heavenly King, higher than both of them. Her power over the storm is too strong.
Even the Heavenly King of Crow courted Tempest once years ago, but he failed because she hated his guts. To him, it was a logical thought of breeding between two Heavenly Kings as they are birds.
On the other hand, the Heavenly King of Horror felt pressured. She needs a direct touch on her enemy for her power to work.
She usually fired barbed projectiles, yet those attacks weren't resilient enough against Tempest's power to generate storms. Yes, it was a direct counter to her ability.
In Yu Long's eyes, Tempest might be weak. But it was different for these Heavenly Kings.
Simply put, Tempest is their nemesis."Tempest..." The Heavenly King of Crow's face darkened.
"We don't have conflict with you. Why don't you retreat on this matter?"
Tempest snorted, "Dirty Crow, you're offending my God Master, so in other words, you're offending me."
"Do you think I'm a pushover you can repel with just words?"
"You're just ranked ninth."
The Heavenly King of Crow was livid.
"God Master..." The Heavenly King of Horror frowned. For a prideful beast like Tempest to say such a thing, this male human must be the one who defeated her a while ago.
'He was the one who killed Burning Venom!'
'Crow, this is not good.' She used her telepathy ability.
'We are outnumbered... And the other side is probably more terrifying than we thought.'
'Shut up!' The Heavenly King of Crow cawed at the spider. 'I will show this human why I got called the Illusion Master.'
'Just take care of Tempest and the Sword-Tailed Dragon for a moment.'
The Heavenly King of Horror sighed. This guy is beyond help.
Her partner in crime is so quickly agitated.
"Attack!"
Even then, the Heavenly King of Horror can't run. She hurriedly spun in and launched several barbed projectiles at her enemies.
The Heavenly King of Crow instantly moved, rising to the sky with a flap of wings.
Tempest cawed to create a repelling storm, and the barbed projectiles bounced away.
"Nightmare!" The Heavenly King of Horror descended, casting a wide area of illusions. His mental power pressed on the ground, putting Yu Long, Camilla, and Tempest in a nightmare-like world.
The surrounding area changed abruptly.
The golden lake becomes burning lava, and the lush forest becomes a protruding bone forest.
But the most noticeable change is definitely the sun. It has become a blood-red moon.
Yu Long sensed the intense glare of the blood-red moon and squinted slightly. This illusion field was 'interestingly' not created to overwhelm the enemy's senses but to affect the world.
It's like altering reality but in a concentrated area.
"Hmm, so this is a Domain Expansion." Yu Long mumbled to himself.
Camilla warily looked around and stayed close to Yu Long. Although she wasn't very good at the mental field, her mother was 'always' the one who shattered this particular ability.
She has yet to develop her tyrannical power, not to be affected by illusion or other mental power.
Tempest also put on a troubled look, 'Tch, I didn't expect Dirty Crow to develop such an ability.'
'This is annoying.'
The Heavenly King of Crow appeared in the sky, laughing at them.
"Kekeke~! How is my ultimate power?"
"I was planning to use this on the strongest Heavenly King, Greed, but you forced me to use it early."
"Be proud, you three. You will be the first to experience my atrocity!"
Yu Long dug his right ear lazily, "Third-rate Domain like this isn't worthy of my time."
"I will give you... How about five seconds? To take off the domain, or you will regret it."
"Hmph! You still dare to be arrogant in my absolute presence?" The black crow mocked Yu Long. "So be it. Let me show you the ugliest side of your pitiful heart, human!"
'Oh, no.' Tempest paled upon hearing the stupid crow's words.
The Heavenly King of Crow made a grabbing gesture with its claws and caused Yu Long's body to shake a little.
"HEART BREAK!"
All of a sudden, the world changed again.
"YOU!" The black crow's voice trembled.
"WHAT ARE YOU?"
"HOW COULD YOUR HEART HAVE SO MUCH DARKNESS?!"
As if the Heavenly King of Crow had seen a frightening sight, he looked at Yu Long like a monster. Yes, an evil monster that shouldn't exist and live in this world.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly King of Crow couldn't cancel his technique and triggered apocalypse-like changes in his Illusion Domain.
Kacha!
The sound of breaking glass reverberated.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOARRR!
With Yu Long as the center, countless shadows burst out and appeared with monstrous looks. Each shadow is towering, taller than the Heavenly King of Crow, who hovered in the sky.
Everyone's eyes widened in fear.
Camilla whimpered nervously, lowering her head and covering it with her tail.
Yu Long glanced at the shadows, "Me?"
"I Am the King!"
BOOOOOM!!
The illusion domain exploded, and the Heavenly King of Crow shrieked with bloody eyes. Mental fatigue is excruciating to the black crow as it sears right into his brain.
Too much information.
After invading Yu Long's heart, the Heavenly King of Crow only peeled a layer but caused him to end in misery. What lies inside that first layer is another layer of darkness, darker than anything he had ever seen.
"AAAAAAARRGHHHH!" The black crow roared in pain.
"STOP!"
"STOP!"
"MAKE IT STOP!"
Relief.
He needs relief.
Poof!
In the end, the Heavenly King of Crow decided to blow his own head and killed himself in the process.
Looking at the once haughty and mighty black crow's state, everyone felt a chill in their spines.
Just what does the black crow see in Yu Long's heart?
No one knows except Yu Long himself.
Yu Long indifferently glanced at the black crow's corpse, "I warned him already."
"He didn't listen to me at all." He sighed helplessly.
Yu Long extended his hand and turned the black crow's body into light particles before condensing it into an essence sphere. He looked at the shivering mess of a spider.
"You. Why don't you fight?" He smiled at the Heavenly King of Horror.
The Heavenly King of Horror's body shook as she lowered her head and said, "God Master, please spare my life."
"I'm just a small creature compared to you..."
"P-Please be merciful for once... Just this once."
"I will reform myself."
Yu Long smiled, "Reform yourself? That's funny coming from a beast who fed upon children's corpses and spines."
"Yes, I know how your ability develops, little spider."
"After all, I'm the one who killed Flesh Doll and Bone Commander, turning them into Demonic Cores that you ate..."
"I'm not a kind person myself. I have a fair share of dirty acts." He added casually.
"But... Answer me honestly."
"How many children have you killed?"
The Heavenly King of Horror trembled even more, "F-Five..."
"Million"
Tempest's eyes widened in shock, "Five million... Y-You're more disgusting than I thought."
Yu Long was unfazed, "Five million are just humans, right?"
The spider nodded in fear, "Y-Yes. I also ate other races' children and killed over thirty million of them."
"..." Tempest's eyes become murderous. Although this world ruled based on the survival of the fittest, she still couldn't wrap her head around the Heavenly King of Horror's atrocity.
"Good." Yu Long calmly said, gaining a raised brow from Tempest.
"God Master, you..." Tempest felt a doubt once in her life.
Yu Long pointed at the Heavenly King of Horror, "Good, you have farmed an immense amount of bad karma."
"Now let me kill you and get enough retribution for those unfortunate souls..."
"No, please don't!" The Heavenly King of Horror jumped and ran away from the golden lake.
Unfortunately, she was too slow.
A purple light flashed, and the last thing the Heavenly King of Horror saw was a cold-faced young man on a tree. His golden eyes looked down on her like she was a worm.
"Thunder Phoenix Dance..." A calm voice entered her ears.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A pillar of thunderfire swallowed the Heavenly King of Horror, burning her to cell levels and making her experience agony. Even her very soul got burned by this heavenly punishment.
"Karma always bit back." Yu Long gazed down coldly.
"You reap what you sow."
