Bang!
The two collided.
An ear-piercing sound erupted.
Immediately after, Luo Feng swung his Thousand Blade Sword wildly at the Demon Orb.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Demon Orb didn't linger, flying back into Brother Chicken's grasp.
Brother Chicken looked at Luo Feng with a smirk. "I didn't expect you to have some skill. To think you could block my Life-Stealing Flying Feather. It seems I underestimated you. But your life ends here. Prepare to meet the god of death. Let me show you what the Devil's Voice truly is."
As Brother Chicken's voice faded, the Demon Orb in his hand began emitting an intense glow. Then, he opened his mouth wide.
"Chicken you..."
Brother Chicken began chanting.
The Demon Orb in his hand started waving rapidly.
Luo Feng was momentarily stunned—this scene felt strangely familiar, as if he'd seen it before.
Was this the Devil's Voice?
Before Luo Feng could ponder further, his mind was assaulted.
Under the Demon Orb's amplification, Brother Chicken's voice truly transformed into the Devil's Voice, carrying a demonic aura that spread in all directions.
Upon hearing it, Luo Feng could feel the corrosive effect of the Devil's Voice in his mind.
Fortunately, Luo Feng's will was as strong as gold, and the Devil's Voice had little effect on him.
While Luo Feng remained unharmed, Tang Xuewei and the other two weren't as resilient against the Devil's Voice.
Thankfully, the Merfolk Queen was present—her abilities offered significant resistance against soul and mental attacks.
Coupled with Luo Feng channeling energy into their souls through the Beauty Diagram, they barely managed to withstand the assault.
Though Brother Chicken's Devil's Voice wasn't as potent as a true demon's, the Demon Orb's enhancement made it formidable.
If Luo Feng didn't interrupt Brother Chicken soon, even he wouldn't last much longer.
With that thought, Luo Feng didn't hesitate and swiftly charged at Brother Chicken.
Seeing Luo Feng approach, Brother Chicken immediately swung the Demon Orb at him.
The orb carried immense energy as it hurtled toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng had no intention of taking the hit head-on—not out of fear, but because it was unnecessary.
His Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade met the orb midair.
Bang!
The two clashed.
Both the Thousand Blade Sword and the Demon Orb were Divine Artifacts—neither could damage the other.
Even though neither could unleash their full power yet, their materials were indestructible.
No ordinary weapon could scratch them, no matter how hard it tried.
After the collision, the Thousand-Bladed Demon Blade and the Demon Orb rebounded off each other.
The Demon Orb returned to Brother Chicken's hand.
Though Luo Feng hadn't inflicted any damage, his attack had achieved its purpose.
Brother Chicken's chanting was disrupted, forcing him to stop.
Once the Devil's Voice faded, the three women seemed to exhale in relief, their mental strain easing significantly.
Luo Feng himself let out a long sigh. While using the Beauty Diagram to heal the three of them, he was also fighting Brother Chicken, which indeed put quite a bit of pressure on him.
Without further hesitation, Luo Feng then controlled the two Ice-Fire Giants, wielding the Thousand Blade Sword as he launched an attack toward Brother Chicken.
Ten minutes later.
Luo Feng's body remained as energetic as ever, brimming with power.
But Brother Chicken's situation was vastly different from Luo Feng's.
Although he was already very close to level 6 and certainly had abundant energy reserves—enough to sustain a battle without issue—his main problem was the scarcity of Demon Blood.
The Demon Blood he had obtained from the Black Lake amounted to only a few dozen drops.
After the recent battle, nearly all of it had been exhausted.
And without Demon Blood, he couldn't wield the Demon Orb, which would drastically reduce his combat strength.
At that moment, an idea flashed through his mind.
He knew the Man in Black could use Demon Blood without suffering any backlash, which likely meant she could also wield the Demon Orb.
Should he hand the Demon Orb to her and let her use it against Luo Feng?
If he gave the Demon Orb to her now, he might never get it back.
But given the current circumstances, it seemed like there was no other choice.
He couldn't unleash his full power either.
Doing so would attract the Thunder Tribulation, forcing him into the ascension phase.
Originally, he wasn't very confident about surviving the tribulation alone.
Now, with Luo Feng and the other humans watching like tigers eyeing their prey, he'd be caught between two fronts, making his situation even more perilous.
Finally, gritting his teeth, he turned to the Man in Black and said:
"I know what you want—it's the Demon Orb in my hands, isn't it?
Fine, I'll give it to you now, but you must help me deal with this human.
If we can kill him...
As long as you use the Demon Orb to lift the restrictions on Mist Island, the orb is yours."
Hearing this, the Man in Black was momentarily stunned before being overcome with wild excitement.
Obtaining the Demon Orb wouldn't just boost her strength—it also had another crucial function for her.
She could use it to return to the Abyssal Realm.
With the Demon Orb in her possession, her power would grow rapidly once she entered the Abyss.
Thinking this, she immediately replied:
"I accept your terms."
Brother Chicken didn't smile upon hearing her agreement. After all, he was handing over a Divine Artifact—no one would be happy about that.
Right now, the Demon Orb was still in his hands. Before death, he could teleport it away, ensuring no one present could claim it.
But this thought only lingered briefly in his mind—he had no intention of acting on it.
If he really sent the Demon Orb away, he'd lose a crucial aid for surviving the Thunder Tribulation.
Not only that, his years-long plans would collapse.
Without the Demon Orb, the various seals on Mist Island would remain intact.
He'd be forced to continue living there indefinitely—a fate he absolutely refused to accept.
With that in mind, Brother Chicken would never allow such an outcome.
He had no choice but to make a decision that went against everything he stood for.
He would give the Demon Orb to the Man in Black.
He had just witnessed the Man in Black's attack.
The Man in Black was completely incapable of harming Luo Feng—he needed the power of the Demon Orb to do so.
Once Brother Chicken had figured all this out, he handed the Demon Orb to the Man in Black.
