Chapter 693: Sinful Bindings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three human heroes were not actually dead. In fact, it was just as the Fallen Demon God described. Humans who existed three thousand years ago were immortal.
In mere seconds, Augustus’ party resurrected on the spot with full health. The trio then teamed up to unleash a combined Territory.
The three completely different Territories overlapped one another and, in the end, it was Emperor Lan who released a shimmering Bloody Cross greatsword and lunged it deep into the Fallen Demon God’s body.
“Territory Skill — Eternal Sink!”
The Fallen Demon God rose up and unleashed another Territory Skill. A dark giant spiral spread out from his feet, stirring a tidal wave motion, drowning Augustus’ party…
By the time the dark spiral disappeared, there was no sign of the human heroes on top of the Seventh Demon God Altar.
“Hyek hyek hyek hyek, even with an immortal body, the lowly human race is no match for the Demonic Tribe!”
The Bloody Cross — Sin nailed to the Fallen Demon God was long gone but the Bloody Cross greatsword, a combined attack from the three heroes was still present. The more the Fallen Demon God resisted, the more pressure came from Bloody Cross greatsword.
Jiaojiao panicked again, “Will Augustus die? Oh my oh my, I haven’t even collected my Red Dragon Queen. You can’t die now, old man!”
“What’s the panic? The human heroes won’t die that easily. They just used a teleportation door to escape back to the outside world.”
Jiaojiao finally calmed down. Ever since Li Yi revealed to her the way to abduct the Red Dragon Queen, she had been working towards this goal and was finally seeing a glimmer of hope. If Augustus were to die now, all her hard work would be wasted.
“Get ready, we’re going up next.”
Li Yi walked up the altar and threw a golden Hunt Target over the Fallen Demon God’s head.
“Bp!”
Before Li Yi could draw his bow, the Fallen Demon God managed to remove the golden Hunt Target. Compared to a normal Hunt Target, the current golden Hunt Target version could not even withstand a single blow. A gentle touch would immediately shatter it to pieces.
Li Yi prepared a Powered-up Arrow, drawing his bow back multiple times. There may not be a Hunt Target, but he could do at least fivefold damage. As he was already in battle mode and an arrow nocked on his bowstring, he had to open fire.
Tch tch tch tch tch tch tst —
“Bp! Bp!”
Two Powered-up Arrows were shot back to back.
As the Fallen Demon God was pinned to the ground by the Bloody Cross greatsword, his movement was restricted. However, he was not going to take it sitting down so he promptly used Darkness Territory to freeze the incoming Powered-up Arrows.
Compared to Li Yi’s Territory light barrier, the Fallen Demon God’s Darkness Territory was superior. Upon entry into the Territory light barrier, the two Powered-up Arrows froze in midair.
The Fallen Demon God attempted to use Territory Release on Li Yi, but Li Yi knew better and so upon using his own, he swiftly retreated and stopped just outside the maximum range of the Fallen Demon God’s Territory Release.
Jiaojiao and Qian’er both dashed up the altar. Distancing themselves from the Fallen Demon God’s Territory light barrier, they launched a ranged attack.
Li Yi and the girls each occupied a direction but did not enter the Fallen Demon God’s Territory. Fallen Demon God was already weak from his heavy injuries and him being immobile at this point, there was nothing he could do other than yelling out in rage.
The two steel tridents stuck on the ground were summoned back to the Fallen Demon God. Descending from the sky in a split second, they flew towards Li Yi.
“Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch!”
Li Yi’s Territory was useless against them. The best he could was to decide in advance to dodge to one side during the steel tridents’ descent.
Li Yi escaped unscathed from the five consecutive stabbing attempts. The Fallen Demon God was gasping for air as his Darkness Territory shrunk down in size.
“Bzz bzz bzz bzzt…”
The steel tridents were quivering as they stabbed into the ground, sending out shockwaves. The HP bar above Li Yi’s head dropped so quickly that even forcing a bottle of Sacred Tranquility down his throat was not able to save him. He lasted for 17 seconds before collapsing to the ground.
Li Yi was dead…
“Oh la la, how-how did you end up dead?”
“Don’t bother about me, keep fighting!”
Jiaojiao and Qian’er both paused before unleashing their skills at the Fallen Demon God.
So far, the trio’s attacks were not able to cause any harm to the Fallen Demon God. All attacks that went into his Territory light barrier remained frozen in midair. It looks as though items were floating in space.
The Fallen Demon God’s Territory light barrier continued to shrivel and with each shrink, the frozen attacks advanced slightly forward. Even without Li Yi explaining, Jiaojiao and Qian’er knew if they continued with their attacks, the Fallen Demon God was done for. He was, after all, pinned to the ground by the Bloody Cross greatsword and could not move. Once his Territory vanished, all their attacks would surely hit him.
Li Yi waited until the steel tridents ended their tremors before using a Holy Light Talisman to revive on the spot.
In order to achieve the first kill, Li Yi had brought along with him five Holy Light Talismans to prevent deaths from happening.
“Powered-up Arrow!
Tch tch tch tch tch tch tst —
“Powered-up Arrow!”
Due to his Megasnake Bow’s special ability to double hits on skills and normal attacks, Li Yi’s re-entry into the battle had filled the Fallen Demon God’s Territory with arrows in mere seconds…
The Fallen Demon God’s expression hardened. As the Bloody Cross greatsword was still in effect, he was weak against the trio’s ambush. The only thing he could do now was retaliate with Territory.
He had to break free from the grasp of the Bloody Cross greatsword or he would be doomed if these attacks blasted at him once his Territory light barrier disappeared.
Out of the blue, the two steel tridents stuck on the ground gave a good shake, seemingly struggling to uproot but failed. The Fallen Demon God’s Territory rapidly reduced dozens of meters. It looked as though this was the cost of his action in forcing the steel tridents out.
“Powered-up Arrow!”
Li Yi was having a blast firing.
As more attacks gathered inside the Fallen Demon God’s Territory, from the outside, the black semi-transparent Territory was a landfill of various attacks — swirling arrows, solidified flames, and black dark matter. The multitude of attacks mixed together in a tight bundle.
Li Yi shouted at Jiaojiao and Qian’er, “Keep it up, we’re almost there!”
“Infinite Burst — Dark Strike!”
“Meteor Fire Shower!”
Jiaojiao and Qian’er blasted their best skill at the Fallen Demon God.
“I am of immortal flesh and inextinguishable soul. You can’t kill me, hyek hyek hyek…”
The Fallen Demon God let out a peculiar laugh before his Territory light barrier burst open, causing countless attacks to pass through…
Boom boom boom bp bp bp…
In an instant, the Fallen Demon God was hit by thousands of attacks. The damage values above his head overlapped to the point that an accurate reading could not be seen.
Then came the System announcement in rainbow colors.
[Players, Dark Wing, Invincible Jiaojiao, and Gongsun Chuqian collaborated in killing the Seventh Demon God, stopping the Demonic Tribe in their tracks. Let us congratulate them!]

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained achievement ‘I have a date with Demon God’!]

…
As the multicolored fonts flashed on world channel, the dead Fallen Demon God was blown to bits.
“Bp!”
A magnificent glow scattered around as equipment, materials, and Gold Coins piled the ground.
Jiaojiao ran towards the largest pile of Gold Coins. Standing tall for 3 seconds, she received a notification.
[You’ve obtained 53566 Gold Coins.]
“Hahaha, this Demon God’s rich, hahaha…”
“Don’t think about money first, picking up the items is the priority.”
The trio dashed towards the equipment, scrambling to pick them up.
The slaughtered Seventh Demon God may be the weak version, but the items dropped were still of merit. The worst item was of Purple Quality. There was nothing that was of Gold Quality or lower.
Apart from materials such as Dark Matter and Demon Cores, Li Yi’s party obtained a total of six Purple Quality items and one Orange Quality item.
Out of the six Purple Quality items, there were two enhanced with Holy attribute.

…
The items with Holy attributes were equipment sets based on class. There was one for Li Yi, one for Qian’er but none for Jiaojiao.
“Unfair! Unfair!” Jiaojiao swung her head in protest.
Li Yi chuckled as he showed the dropped Orange Quality item to the girls.
[Demon God’s Sinful Bindings (Orange Quality, +1 Holy attribute)]
[Equipment requirement: Dark Paladin, Warrior, and Paladin]
[Special effect: Increases all attributes by 20%.]
[Special effect: Increases all attribute resistance by 20%.]
[Special effect: Raises 1 Territory rank.]
[Special effect: When equipped, 1% of own HP would be reduced every second.]
[Note: This is a ring worn by the Seventh Demon God. It is filled with demonic dark powers.]
…
“This thing is better than our equipment set. You lucked out.”
Li Yi traded the ring to Jiaojiao.
“When equipped, 1% of own HP would be reduced every second? This is what you call lucked out?”
Li Yi stretched his hand out, “If you don’t want it, give it here.”
“No, no, it’s better than nothing, humph humph,” Jiaojiao pulled a face at Li Yi and equipped the ring. However, it did not take her long to take it off.
“My HP dropped wearing it, it’s no fun at all…”
“What do you know? The reason why this ring is orange is because of the third special effect. It basically raises your Territory by one rank.”
Li Yi was currently at Territory level 23. He needed to reach level 30 in order to achieve Territory rank 1 yet this mad ring could immediately raise Territory to rank 1. What sorcery was this?
Simply madness…
“Jiaojiao, return to the continent and issue a King’s Order. We’re heading out.”
“We’re returning? We’re not going to continue?”
Jiaojiao and Qian’er were stunned.
