Realm of the Night God

There are a total of 9 levels of demonic weapons, from 1 to 9 markings, with 1 being the weakest and 9 being the ultimate strongest.

However, due to the differences in their own abilities, demon hunters can use demonic weapons of different levels.

If the demon hunter's own strength is too strong, but the level of the demonic weapon is too low, the demonic weapon will not be able to withstand the demon hunter's full power. Once the demon hunter unleashes their full power, the demonic weapon will shatter due to its inability to withstand the powerful star spiritual power. The only way to prevent the demonic weapon from shattering is to carefully control the amount of star spiritual power infused into it, but this means the demon hunter cannot fully unleash their own strength.

Conversely, if the demon hunter's own strength is too weak, but the level of the demonic weapon is too high, the demon hunter's star spiritual power will not be able to activate the demonic weapon, and the desired effect against the enemy cannot be achieved.

Typically, a one-star demon hunter can activate demonic weapons from 1 to 3 markings, with a 3-marked demonic weapon being the ultimate for a one-star demon hunter. Demonic weapons with more than 3 markings cannot be activated by the star spiritual power within a one-star demon hunter.

A two-star demon hunter can usually control demonic weapons ranging from 2 to 4 markings, with a 4-marked demonic weapon being the ultimate for a two-star demon hunter. Demonic weapons with more than 4 markings cannot be activated by a two-star demon hunter either.

A demon hunter's combat power, aside from their own strength, is greatly influenced by their demonic weapon. In battles between demon hunters of the same level, a good demonic weapon can be the key to victory. If the demonic weapon is significantly stronger than the opponent's, the demon hunter may even be able to defeat a higher-level enemy, demonstrating the importance of the demonic weapon to a demon hunter.

The Big Brother of Cloud Mist Manor's life-bound demonic weapon is a pair of bronze hammers, which are already a 3-marked demonic weapon, one level higher than the demonic weapon in Ye Zhiqiu's possession. If the bronze hammers were to be further upgraded to a 4-marked demonic weapon, not only would the power of the bronze hammers increase significantly, but the combat power of the Big Brother as the owner would also skyrocket.

Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu hopes that Yang Haoran and Bai Xue can quickly interrupt the demonic weapon's advancement, or they may be defeated today.

Unfortunately, the Wolf-Headed Monster's relentless interference prevents Yang Haoran and Bai Xue from successfully interrupting the demonic weapon's advancement.

The bronze hammers are absorbing other demonic weapons at an extremely rapid pace. In a short moment, more than ten demonic weapons have been absorbed, and if this continues, all the demonic weapons will soon be absorbed by the bronze hammers.

Facing the Big Brother's fierce attacks, Ye Zhiqiu is having a hard time defending. Although the Big Brother no longer has a demonic weapon, his strength is far superior to Ye Zhiqiu's. Additionally, with the control of the blood-colored barrier formation disc, he can constantly launch powerful Blood Qi attacks, causing Ye Zhiqiu to struggle in his defense.

On the other hand, although the Wolf-Headed Monster has blocked the attacks from Yang Haoran and Bai Xue, it has suffered severe injuries, and its strength is now greatly diminished compared to when it first appeared, suggesting it may not be able to hold out much longer.

At this moment, Yang Haoran glances at the situation on Ye Zhiqiu's side, feeling somewhat speechless. According to Ye Zhiqiu's earlier explanation, three of the Five Brothers were slightly weaker than him, while two were slightly stronger.

The deceased Second Boss was the first of the Five Brothers to be killed by Yang Haoran's hand. At the time, due to the Second Boss being severely poisoned and Yang Haoran's decisive actions, he easily took the Second Boss's life, not feeling that the Second Boss was particularly powerful.

However, this Big Brother is truly formidable. His strength is not just slightly stronger than Ye Zhiqiu's, but significantly so. It's not surprising that Yang Haoran cannot defeat him in a short time, and there's even a possibility that the Big Brother may turn the tables.

Although Yang Haoran feels somewhat speechless, he is not panicked, as his cautious nature led him to anticipate such a possibility when he accepted Ye Zhiqiu's task.

He roughly estimates that if they can eliminate the Wolf-Headed Monster first and then try to interrupt the demonic weapon's advancement, it will be too late.

However, if they don't find a way to get rid of the Wolf-Headed Monster first, their attacks won't be able to reach the bronze hammers due to the blood-colored barrier. The Wolf-Headed Monster is as agile as a fish in water, able to block all their attacks, and sometimes even using its own body to withstand the attacks of the two.

Therefore, the only way to prevent the demonic weapon's advancement is to eliminate the Wolf-Headed Monster before the advancement is complete. To achieve this, they need to use more powerful means, as ordinary methods won't work.

Thus, Yang Haoran decides to use his trump card, the Death God Manifestation!

He first takes a soul pill, which continuously replenishes his Yin spiritual power, so that he won't be drained. Then, he disperses the chains formed by the Yin spiritual power, recalls the Waning Moon to protect his body, and quickly forms hand seals.

With a solemn expression, he closes his eyes and his fingers move swiftly.

The Big Brother, holding the formation disc, uses a Blood Qi attack to knock Ye Zhiqiu away. Sensing something, he turns his gaze towards Yang Haoran's location, abandoning his attack on Ye Zhiqiu.

Seeing Yang Haoran abandon his attack and assume a solemn expression while rapidly forming hand seals, the Big Brother knows that Yang Haoran is about to unleash a powerful technique. Recalling Ye Zhiqiu's previous warning, the Big Brother guesses that Yang Haoran is about to use the Death God Manifestation.

Instead of showing any signs of panic, the Big Brother bursts into laughter. Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).

"Hahaha! I've long heard of the Yin Division's Death God Manifestation and its terrifying power. I've never had the chance to witness it firsthand, but today I'll get to experience it!"

The Big Brother's words are true. He has indeed heard of the Yin Division's powerful technique called the Death God Manifestation, but he has never seen its true might. Now, seeing Yang Haoran about to use it, he feels a sense of excitement.

However, as soon as the words leave his mouth, his smile freezes, and his gaze turns to the space above Yang Haoran's head, filled with shock.

Suddenly, the space above Yang Haoran's head begins to violently fluctuate, and a terrifying power wave emanates from it.

"This is..."

The Big Brother is utterly disbelieved. Yang Haoran is still forming hand seals, and the Death God Manifestation has not even been successfully unleashed yet, but the power wave it has already released has left him greatly shaken.

If Yang Haoran were to successfully execute the Death God Manifestation, how powerful would it be?

The Big Brother's shock quickly turns to apprehension, and his previous excitement vanishes without a trace. He seems to have forgotten his own boastful words, and now his only thought is to prevent Yang Haoran from successfully unleashing the Death God Manifestation.

This technique is far more powerful than he had imagined.

Immediately, he activates the formation disc to its fullest, controlling a large number of fresh blood-dripping monster to attack Yang Haoran from all directions.

Not satisfied with that, he also shouts at the Wolf-Headed Monster, ordering it to focus all its attacks on the Underworld Envoy (Yang Haoran) to prevent him from completing the Death God Manifestation.

After issuing the order, the Big Brother, still gripping the formation disc, gathers a large amount of star spiritual power and rushes towards Yang Haoran.

He knows that his current means are not enough to slay Yang Haoran, but his goal is not to kill Yang Haoran. Rather, it is to interrupt Yang Haoran's Death God Manifestation. As long as he can disrupt Yang Haoran, he can buy some time for his life-bound demonic weapon to complete its advancement, and the victory in this battle will belong to him.

With all the attacks converging on Yang Haoran, a worried look appears in Bai Xue's eyes. Without hesitation, she moves to shield Yang Haoran, her massive body forming a protective circle around him, leaving a sizable space within.

The Big Brother's star spiritual power, the Wolf-Headed Monster's fists, and the blood-based monster immediately strike Bai Xue's body.

The Big Brother's star spiritual power breaks through Bai Xue's demonic spiritual power defense, leaving a gruesome wound on her body, with fresh blood gushing out and large chunks of snake scales falling off.

The Wolf-Headed Monster's fist heavily impacts Bai Xue's body, leaving a dent in the struck area.

The blood-based monster clang to Bai Xue's body, their gaping jaws filled with sharp fangs, viciously biting and tearing at her.

All these attacks were originally aimed at Yang Haoran, but Bai Xue has taken them all on herself.

Suddenly, Bai Xue lets out a painful roar, unable to endure the massive damage she has sustained.
