Chapter 116: Tears of Sorrow

As a peak Overlord, how could he not possess any rule-based items? The reason he didn't use them earlier was because the Order Overlords present all had extraordinary identities.

There were young power holders, successors of conglomerates, and giants managing a branch.

These people were bound to have trump cards with them. In the Spirit Realm, there were no shortage of extreme items, taking a gamble with the ability to fight beyond their level.

Reaching their level, while powerful, caution was essential. A lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit, let alone a group of gifted young people!

Mutual probing, gradually increasing the intensity of the battle until one side's trump cards were exhausted, being thoroughly seen through, and then gathering strength for a decisive blow – that was the art of team battles.

Although it meant sacrificing an Level 8 Overlord, it would be worth it if they could take down these young people.

Fu Qingyang's limit was to fight two Overlords of the same level. Si Ming's method was the bronze pot. Winnie's method was a high-quality Overlord item and the ability to sustain high bursts of power!

Kerris's trump card wasn't used. Being forced to that extent without revealing it meant her trump card needed to be used in a specific environment, such as the ocean!

The core method of the Demonic Eye Heavenly King was the Bewitching Eye!

Ju Mang was the most surprising. He had several Overlord-quality items, and his attack power wasn't weaker than an Overlord, but that was it.

As for Panxi. Edison, no peak Overlord would underestimate him. Except for the vice president of the Merchant Guild, everyone else's trump cards had been tested and couldn't threaten a peak Overlord!

Cowboy Locke believed it was time to close the net. The Palace Master's strongest method was the Demon Refining Pot, an item that could increase the team's fault tolerance but couldn't affect the outcome!!!

Winnie and Kerris couldn't be counted on. Even if Kerris had a trump card, it couldn't change the battle!

The boss and the Demonic Eye were already at their limit and couldn't go any further. Now, they could only rely on Vice President Panxi, but he could only go fifty-fifty with a peak Overlord at most!

While thinking, Zhang Yuanching observed his teammates' faces. Everyone's expression was grave and serious. No one looked like they had a sure-win relaxed look!

He had never underestimated the two peak Overlords and the many Level 8 Overlords on the evil side. Among these people, there would definitely be high-quality items, even Overlord-level rule-based items.

If their side had more trump cards, they could still resist stubbornly, struggling while reducing the opponent's numbers, reducing the pressure, and then waiting for the President's rescue!

This was the only way out. Now that they were few in number, they could only pray that the opponent's item strength didn't exceed the team's limit of endurance.

Stephen. Simpson, with cold, hard lines on his face, looked at Cowboy and Locke, dressed in a similar fashion, and slowly said, "I want that bronze pot and the cloak, the rest is yours!"

He meant that the Biological Alchemy Society would take care of the Order faction's Overlords, and he would take the bigger share!

As a peak Overlord, Lieutenant Stephen had sharp eyes and saw the items on the Order side. The cloak and the bronze pot had the highest level and quality. Cowboy Locke glanced at the dead Hell Demon Dragon and nodded, "Okay!"

The Biological Alchemy Society had lost an Level 8 Overlord, so compensation was due, and he was happy to let the Initiator take the lead!

Stephen. Simpson coldly took out a football-sized crystal ball. The crystal ball showed a dynamic picture: a huge figure walking between heaven and earth. Its body was infinitely tall. Mountains didn't reach its knees, and lakes barely submerged its feet. It was humanoid and covered in the heads of beasts.

There were cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, tigers, leopards, and jackals. Only the head on its neck was human. Its hair was thick snakes, spewing deep purple poisonous smoke. The poisonous smoke rolled in the sky, forming thick clouds that blotted out the sun!

Its body was covered in pus, which polluted lakes and turned the earth barren!

It was surrounded by smoke. Hurricanes blew up crops and houses, leaving devastation in their wake.

It was followed by tens of thousands of distorted monsters. As the dynamic picture changed, the towering monster suddenly split into ten monsters with different appearances!

Some were shaped like women with chitinous masks on their faces, some had goat horns and hooves, surrounded by blue flames, some were golden lions, their bodies cast in gold, some were membrane-winged dark dragons with many perforations, some had three heads!!

Stephen. Simpson coldly swept over the evil faction's Overlords, who all retreated to the edge.

The two Chaos Overlords, the two Watchers, and the two Thunder Mages all retreated to the edge of the stands. One more step back and they would be off the hundred-meter-high field.

Stephen. Simpson gently tossed the crystal ball towards the corner of the arena!

The crystal ball expanded in mid-air, encompassing the entire arena. The next second, the phantoms of seven demon god children descended onto the field, standing in the southeast, northwest, and each side, trapping the Order faction's Overlords in the center!

[You have entered the "Smoker's" Trial Field. Please defeat ten demons to pass the trial!]

[Note: You may not return to reality or teleport away during the trial.]

Lingjing's prompt echoed in Zhang Yuanching's ears. The Smoker's Trial. The first thing Zhang Yuanching noticed was the word "Smoker."

Because he had heard the same name in the "Horror Cruise" dungeon!

He had obtained a rule-based consumable, the Smoker's Murmur, in the Horror Cruise dungeon. This consumable could cause all living beings within a fifty-meter radius to suffer from pollution and mental confusion.

Note: Remember~ it's all living beings…

Zhang Yuanching didn't dare use this consumable because he didn't want to pollute his allies or himself.

"Smoker" should refer to the Demon Seed. Now, Lieutenant Stephen had taken out a high-level rule-based item with the name Smoker in it!!!

The Apothecary's professional deity was called "Smoker."

No, Zhang Yuanching immediately began to worry about something else.

Two "may not" appeared in the note. This kind of absolute description often meant it was rule-based. He wondered if the President could break through the blockade of the rule-based item.

If not, then it would be dangerous. As the thought flashed through his mind, he saw the phantoms of the ten god children enter one after another.

Lieutenant Stephen, this peak Overlord, showed a look of pain on his cold face. The flesh and blood under his skin wriggled crazily, and his body rapidly swelled like an inflated ball!

Two meters, three meters, five meters, ten meters!!!

Hideous dog heads grew out of both sides of his shoulders. His hair twisted and wriggled into thin black snakes. His face was covered with a chitinous mask. Lion and boar heads grew out of his chest. Black wings spread out from his back, and blue scales protruded from his arms.

Mud-like pus flowed from his pores. His appearance was very similar to the "Smoker" in the crystal ball, but the configuration was much lower!

Black and white snakes spewed out deep purple poisonous smoke, covering the sky above the arena. Foul-smelling pus, like lava erupting from a volcano, spread out from him towards the solid ground.

Zhang Yuanching stared up at the distorted monster, ten meters tall. The fear churning in his heart made him tremble. This was the suppression of a high-level powerhouse over a low-level one!

The Demonic Eye Heavenly King "tsked."

"I can feel the aura of a demigod on him. Hmm, much weaker than the Fear Heavenly King!"
