Shen Ye looked at the flail.
"Flail of Suffering."
"Holy Artifact for Demon Exorcism."
"Description: Drives away the evil within you and enhances all your attributes."
"Usage: Strike yourself."
âIt is already at the "Holy Artifact" level now.
Perhaps it could succeed?
Shen Ye raised the flail and swung it towards Rahu.
"What are you doing?"
Rahu, extremely wary, immediately jumped back.
"Testing its power, while also helping you boost your strengthâwhy dodge." Shen Ye said displeased.
"Hmph," Rahu sneered, shaking his head, "I wonât be fooled again, try it yourself. I donât care about enhancing strength or anything."
"Donât regret it."
"Absolutely no regrets."
"Alright then."
It was only under White Emperorâs protection that Shen Ye dared to strike himself hard.
Boom!!!
He was slammed into the ground along with the flail, several tens of meters deep.
A large pit appeared where the recliner originally was!
"Hey, alive or dead?"
Rahuâs voice came from above the pit.
Shen Ye lay at the bottom of the pit, spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if all his bones were cracked.
âDirectly struck into a near-death state!
He gasped heavily, struggling to get up, but couldnât move at all.
Crack.
A soft sound.
Whatâs that sound? Where did it come from?
Could it be Iâm about to die, causing hallucinations?
Shen Ye was somewhat puzzled.
He carefully sensed, feeling as if something hard within him suddenly shattered.
A line of dim light small letters quietly appeared:
"Concealment barrier shattered."
Barrier...
Shen Ye recalled carefully.
It seemed he had never set any barriers!
At this moment, a ray of light projected from above.
âWhite Emperor was mobilizing laws, performing a healing technique.
Shen Yeâs injuries gradually healed.
He moved his body, looked down at the flail in his hand.
The barrier was shattered.
But the demon exorcism hadnât succeeded.
So the flail wasnât retracted by the demon exorcism sequence.
He sighed, lightly leaped, and jumped out of the pit, saying to White Emperor:
"Thanks."
The flail he tossed to the other side.
"Your strength..." Rahu eyed him, probing.
"Indeed, this flail can enhance all attributes, my strength increased by about one-tenth." Shen Ye said frankly.
Both White Emperor and Rahu showed interest in the flail.
"Pain is indeed real, but effectiveness is also truly realâIâll give it a try too."
White Emperor struck himself with it.
Boomâ
Despite controlling the power, he was still blasted into the ground with one hit.
A pit the size of a square was formed.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Shen Ye shouted.
"Iâm fine."
White Emperor suddenly flew out from the hole and landed in front of the two.
Blood covered him completely, holding the flail, but his expression was quite joyful.
A series of black runes seeped from him, dripping into the pit.
"These were some back-up left by Saints to control the entire Pale Worldâs operation."
"Unexpectedly, one blow brought them all out."
"There are no more hidden dangers in my body."
White Emperor spoke slowly.
He tossed the flail to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye flipped his hand and stored the flail away.
Now he possessed three demon exorcism artifacts: Soul Suppressing Nail, Cross, Flail of Suffering.
Butâ
The evil had still not been found!
Rahu grew anxious nearby and quickly said:
"For the sake of the team, let me use it once too."
"Huh? Werenât you the one who said you donât need it?" Shen Ye asked curiously.
"Haha, my vision was short-sighted, please donât mind, let me use it once, thanks a lot!"
"No wayâletâs see your performance first." Shen Ye said.
Rahu gritted his teeth, but had to keep a smile.
Indeed.
Initially, he voluntarily gave up.
Starting with being unreasonable, then now people have that "King" around, canât beat them.
Really unexpected.
Shen Ye glanced at the void.
Hints kept emerging, appearing in the void beside him:
"Your barrier was shattered."
"Something hidden on you is emanating unprecedented invisible waves."
"This will lead to..."
The ground suddenly shook violently.
An unimaginable powerful wave emanated from the depths of darkness.
"Unbelievable, could there be such a strong existence?"
White Emperor exclaimed.
Rahu was even more anxious than the two, hastily said:
"This is the abyss where ancient evil is imprisoned, naturally thereâs existence beyond usâthink fastâor we will die!"
Method.
Whereâs the method.
"We can only try fighting, anyway, we canât escape." Shen Ye said solemnly.
"Canât beat it!" Rahu shouted angrily.
And as they spoke, suddenly the ground cracked open.
A pitch-black giant serpent emerged from underground, swiftly coiling up before the three, staring at them one by one.
"You and the evil within you shall be my lunch."
The serpent hissed, tongue flicking out.
Its body was constantly shining with natural eerie runes, filling the entire cell with intense pressure.
Lines.
Its power-wave materialized into sharp lines, spreading into the surrounding void.
The entire prison collapsed before such power.
âSo powerful, already surpassing White Emperorâs level!
"Itâs over."
Rahu sighed in resignation, saying despairingly.
"Are we going to die here? Well, at least finally able to rest." White Emperor assumed a battle stance, tone carrying a hint of self-mockery.
But Shen Ye hadnât given up.
He remembered the setting at the start of the whole thing.
In this hourâ
The power of the entries surpasses all!
"Come."
He stepped forward, left hand holding White Emperorâs shoulder, right hand pressing Rahuâs back.
