Devil's Son-in-Law Chapter 1139: Strength

Chapter 1139: Strength

In the courtyard, the crowd gathered around Chen Rui who returned. They were cheering, delighting, complaining, or despising, all in a lively manner.
“You’re really ‘punctual’. You didn’t come back until the last day. These days, some people were lost in thoughts and distracted every day. As a result, when they cook, they use salt as sugar and vinegar as wine. We innocent people are almost poisoned to death.” Although Isabella said this, the corners of her brows and eyes were full of joy that she couldn’t hide.
“I know, it’s Aunt Kia.” Duoduo in Chen Rui’s arms immediately said the ‘culprit’ name. It seemed that even the little girl was 1 of the victims.
The little succubus maid giggled without any guilty sense of ‘poisoning’.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I came back late.” Chen Rui knew that his wives and friends were worried about him. After being teased, Chen Rui consciously admitted his crimes to the motherland and the people.
“As long as you are back.” Athena beside him held his hand tightly. This position was specially vacated by the harem. Athena was the most precious mother-to-be now. Except for Duoduo, she had the ‘highest’ status.
“Everyone’s strength is advancing so fast!” Chen Rui looked at his relatives and friends in surprise, “Zola, you succeeded? Your strength should be about to reach the intermediate stage of the Pseudo-God… Eh! Lalaria is already at the intermediate stage of the Demi-God? Isabella and Olypheus are also at the peak stage of the Kingdom level, and Delia…”
Ms. Fairy Dragon smiled smugly, showing off a staff in her hand. It exuded a powerful elemental fluctuation. It should be the Elemental Goddess Staff. The process of obtaining this artifact could be described as quite dangerous including the training in the elemental world after that. It was unimaginably difficult, but Zola persevered after all. One could see her ecstatic look. All the hardships before were worth it.
The flat-chested loli’s signature weird laughter. Aside from the envious and hateful fact that he has so many beauties, this man is not disgusting at all. He does feel like a friend. Most importantly, when he comes back, those little beauties are more uplifted and beautiful. For Madam Lalaria, it was naturally a pleasing thing to the eyes. If only I can hook up with a couple of them…
Master Poison Dragon blushed a little. He was at the early stage of the Demi-God 2 years ago, and he was still at the same level now. Although he was only 1 step away from the intermediate stage of the Demi-God, he had not made a breakthrough after all. In contrast, Isabella had vaguely touched the bottleneck of the Demi-God, Olypheus had reached the peak stage of the Kingdom Level, and Roman was about to reach the peak stage of the Kingdom Level. Even the lazy Dodo had reached the peak stage of the Kingdom Level under the coercion of Python and the lure of Isabella. If Paglio did not strive to advance, before he could catch up with Lalaria, he would be overtaken by the guys behind.
Python’s indifferent voice sounded, “Sir, the feeling you gave me at the door… is a little weird.”
“It’s… indeed a little weird indeed.” As Python said, Zola nodded thoughtfully.
Paglio also responded, “That’s right. I can hardly sense his presence. It feels like…”
“‘Nature’.” Lalaria continued, “You are completely integrated into nature, as ordinary as a stone or a gust of wind. Not only does it not feel special, I can’t feel your realm at all.”
“The surface realm hasn’t changed. He is still at the peak stage of the Demi-God.” Python frowned, “Intuition tells me that something must have changed, but I can’t sense it.”
“I’m ashamed. As far as this state is concerned, nothing has changed.” Chen Rui shook his head, “Actually… for these 2 years. I spend most of my time walking, exploring the beginning and ultimate end of the mind. I have tried several times to surpass this state, but I unfortunately failed.”
Failed? Everyone was surprised. Isabella was the most attentive and immediately grabbed a keyword, “What did you mean when you said… ‘this state’?”
“It’s ‘this state’.” Chen Rui shrugged.
“The state that is out of the ‘world’?” Python had figured it out.
“Yes.” What Chen Rui was talking about was the Demi-God realm in the normal state, which represented a bottleneck. If he found a breakthrough opportunity, it was very likely that the entire 6-star evolution would undergo a real transformation.
“Your training path has long exceeded ordinary knowledge.” Python pondered and said, “I just want to ask, do you already have the strength to compete with the peak stage of the Pseudo-God?”
“I’m not very sure, but… you can try.” Chen Rui kissed his baby daughter, handed Duoduo to Kia, and stood up.
“It looks like you are very confident.” Python’s long and narrow eyes squinted, and everyone felt a shudder. They had been teleported to the distance, leaving only Chen Rui and Python in the center.
The nearby space quickly changed into a misty swamp. The sky was murky. The misty swamp plants and land were mostly black, giving off an eerie breath.
Chen Rui clearly sensed that the massive power contained in the breath was even stronger than when he faced Sariel at the beginning. He was slightly shocked, “This is your peak state?”
“No, it’s a little bit stronger than my peak state back then.” Python smiled a little more proudly, “This is thanks to the soul of Sariel and the power of the strange world you have given me. Even if I go up the Holy Light Mountain to fight against Michael, I’m confident enough to rival him.”
Python’s eyes were fixed on Chen Rui, and her tone changed, “Your training of isolating from the ‘world’ for the past 2 years, was it to induce a qualitatively change to your own basic strength so that your Pseudo-God transformation can be even stronger? Or even a further breakthrough?”
“As expected of Python.” Chen Rui admired, “Although it is not entirely the case, it’s not far from it. At least a considerable part of the reason is like this.”
“Then, let me take a look at the latest transformation power. Let me remind you that when you merge with the ‘world’, don’t be too surprised.” With that said, Chen Rui felt the terrifying oppressive force blowing toward his face. His body immediately could not move, and he could hardly even breathe.
Chen Rui had focused on the training of the original body and mind for the past 2 years. He deliberately did not enter the Super System. Now, facing Python, who was even stronger than Sariel, he naturally couldn’t deal with her in an ordinary state. With a shift of thought, he finally activated the [Purple Pole Star Transformation] that had not been used for 2 years.
The purple starlight instantly filled the [Doom Calamity Kingdom], and the black world became transparent. Python sneered. Countless black smoke emerged from the kingdom and wrapped Chen Rui as if to kill the dazzling starlight in the bud.
There was an overwhelming might in the black smoke. Even everyone outside the kingdom felt it. Zola’s facial expression changed slightly, because Python did not hold back. She used the strongest power of the Kingdom directly!
Fairy Dragon was now close to the intermediate stage of the Pseudo-God, and she had 2 artifacts, the Elemental Goddess Crown and the Elemental Goddess Staff. However, even if it was her facing the might of Python, she would be shattered instantly.
The black smoke was getting thicker and thicker. In a moment, Chen Rui was completely enveloped. The purple starlight was also quickly blocked like a huge cocoon that imprisoned him.
Chen Rui in the black cocoon couldn’t see anything, only the endless darkness that contained the power of terrifying death in his entire consciousness.
Python’s eyes suddenly flickered with surprise. The black cocoon suddenly split open, revealing several times the brilliance before. Then, the entire black cocoon was torn apart. The burst of intense light made everyone watching the battle unable to look directly,. They all squinted.
Chen Rui was surprised to feel the unimaginable power of [Purple Pole Star Transformation], and he finally understood why Python had such a sentence “Don’t be too surprised”. Because the faith and life force displayed by the Super System at this time were many times stronger than 2 years ago!
This kind of power directly affected the power of [Purple Pole Star Transformation], tearing apart the imprisoning power of Python more easily than expected.
Chen Rui immediately responded. 2-star enhancement!
The ‘Gods’ who completed the 2-star enhancement immediately appeared in his mind. As soon as he sensed it, he was startled.
So many!
Just as he was distracted, Python on the opposite side had undergone some kind of change, and the black smoke in the sky had condensed into a pair of black wings. There was an exquisite armor of dark red and black on her body. It was like the gem of the Demon Realm, revealing a dark and deep light.
This was the first time Chen Rui had seen this kind of [Armor of Faith] of Python. This should be the fusion of the Super System’s star armor and her own armor. Her kingdom was also merged. Unlike Zola’s double kingdoms. Python completely combined the 2 into 1. The power was even greater.
Lalaria had also been trying this kind of fusion, but she had been unsuccessful.
Python, who had equipped [Armor of Faith], was obviously going all out.
“In the name of doom!” Python waved her hand, and the cold power rushed toward Chen Rui. The red light loomed in the darkness as if it might explode at any time.
Chen Rui also raised his right hand, and swirling stardust appeared in front of the dark red light like a huge solar system. The 2 powers collided instantly, and the entire kingdom trembled under the 2 terrifying forces.
Everyone watching the battle only felt that the space was strongly distorted by the force; even their souls seemed to be distorted.
“Boom!“
The 2 clusters of powers turned into nothingness at the same time; they were evenly matched.
The feeling of soul distortion in everyone’s consciousness gradually disappeared.
Python moved, “Is this what you call the power of ‘failure’?”
Chen Rui nodded, “Yes, as I said, I tried to advance, but unfortunately I didn’t succeed.”
Python gave him a deep look. [Doom Calamity Kingdom] gradually disappeared, and Chen Rui also put away the star armor.
It was just a tentative attack just now. If they continued to fight, it would be difficult to control. It wouldn’t be worth the loss if they hurt others at the side.
“Even if Satan is in front of you now, he may not have the certainty of victory. If it’s a few more years… Hmph, I think that guy will definitely regret giving you 10 years. I suddenly look forward to your level after ‘success’…”
“Compared with this, I’m even more surprised by the ‘surprise’ you mentioned. The power of transformation I activated just now exceeded expectations.” Chen Rui looked at the group of relatives and friends watching the game, “I don’t know how to describe this kind of ‘surprise’. Perhaps the term ‘moved’ seems superficial.”
“You still need to further familiarize and integrate the power of this ‘surprise’. I believe that the trip to the Holy Light Mountain in the near future will bring real surprises to the 3 overbearing guys.”
“Of course, I have this confidence and determination because I’m not alone. That’s why I have come to this day.”
Python glanced at the flying Duoduo and the laughing people behind, and she sighed in a low voice, “What you have…”
“Huh?” Chen Rui glanced at Python, but Python didn’t continue. Her figure began to fade away.
Chen Rui didn’t have time to think about it as Duoduo had already rushed over. Chen Rui smiled and hugged his precious daughter.
