Chapter 1765: The Army of One Hundred Thousand Soul Demons
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The hourglass distorted space and time and opened up a huge tunnel connecting to the Soul Demon Universe. An army of one hundred thousand Soul Demons had been waiting on the other side of the tunnel.
The people present all sucked in their breath. This time, no matter who they were, everyone was frightened. The nobles of Void City, on the other hand, were terrified. They supported Cursed Goddess Soul, but now it seemed that their support had brought them a disaster.
How could she bring an army of one hundred thousand Soul Demons into Void City? Was she out of her mind? Why did she do this? It would be fine if she only gathered the Soul Demons who were banished here, but bringing in an army from the Soul Demon Universe… She would put the city in a hopeless position!
“This is now allowed, Your Excellency Soul!”
“You will be punished by the Queen for doing this!”
“Please think twice, Your Excellency!”
The nobles’ eyes widened with dissatisfaction and fear. They supported Soul, but they did not want Void City to fall into ruins.
In midair, the wretched Cursed Goddess Soul’s eyes were cold and emotionless as she glanced nonchalantly at the crowd. Stop all this? Impossible… She had paid too much for all this, so there was no turning back.
The monstrous power of sin was released from the space-time tunnel. At this moment, the black-robed man burst out laughing, and he fully unleashed his Great Soul Overlord aura. He had been holding it for a long time, and now he finally could unleash it.
Two Great Soul Overlords emerged from the tunnel at the same time. Together with him, the sinful power of the three Great Soul Overlords almost enveloped the whole Void City.
Countless people trembled with fear, while Xiao Ai stood transfixed like a bale of wood, her eyes filled with despair. What was going on? Was this the end of Void City?
Viscount Ash and Master Zhen Yong had lost all hope, and their men had long since given up resistance. How were they going to fight? They were outnumbered from the start, and now they had to fight against an army of one hundred thousand Soul Demons. The strength of the two sides was simply not on the same level!
Bu Fang landed in front of the restaurant with a serious look on his face. Lord Dog, Er Ha, Marquis Lang Gu in his human form, Countess Xia Qiu, and the others had also gathered there, their faces grave.
Even Bu Fang could not help but suck in a cold breath as he looked at the army of one hundred thousand Soul Demons. This was an army from the Soul Demon Universe, and the battle formation was even more terrifying than those Soul Demons who had invaded the Chaotic Universe.
At the very least, the Chaotic Universe could assemble an army to resist at that time, but the army of Void City was under Soul’s control.
Bu Fang felt the situation was tricky to solve. Even the System’s teleportation array could not teleport an army across such a great distance, yet the hourglass had done it. This was indeed terrifying.
The faces of Lord Dog and Er Ha were unsightly as well. “The situation doesn’t look too… good.” Er Ha smacked his lips. “We’ve got all those who can fight on our side here, haven’t we?” he said, sucking the spicy strip.
Houtu, standing beside him, nodded. Her face was grave, too. The number of people on both sides was completely disproportionate. These people in front of the restaurant were not enough to stand up to the enemy.
In the battle just now, most of the men who served Viscount Ash and Master Zhen Yong had died, and those who survived were all wounded. It was impossible for them to form an effective line of defense.
What should they do? This was the question that hung over everyone’s mind.
Bu Fang was also clueless. Dark cuisine could restrain Soul Demons, yes, but he was facing one hundred thousand Soul Demons at the same time. All they had to do was spit out a mouthful of saliva each to drown him.
“Where is the Queen of Curses?” Bu Fang could not help but turn to Marquis Lang Gu and the others. “Void City is about to be reduced to ruins. Why is she still hiding?”
Marquis Lang Gu and the others shook their heads. Apparently, they also did not know why the Queen had not shown up yet.
A rumbling sound filled the air as the army was closing in. Finally, countless figures poured out of the space-time tunnel, turning the vast empty sky black in an instant. The army of Soul Demons stood behind Cursed Goddess Soul, exuding an extremely oppressive aura!
“Haha! Glutton, it seems that you really can’t do anything!”
“You still need us to help you… Well, I’ve long hated this little Void City for a long time!”
Two gruff voices rang out. The two Great Soul Overlords did not wrap themselves in black robes. One of them was slim, with green skin and a pair of snail-like tentacles on his head that were wriggling gently.
They were Envy Great Soul Overlord and Greed Great Soul Overlord! Joining Gluttony Great Soul Overlord, who was wrapped in a black robe, three of the seven Great Soul Overlords of the Soul Demon Universe were here!
Every Great Soul Overlord was not weaker than a duke-level expert. Together with the army of one hundred thousand Soul Demons, Void City was as fragile as a piece of tofu!
“Now that you are here, let’s get things done. I’ve waited a very long time for the hourglass to complete its cycle… Don’t disappoint me,” Gluttony Great Soul Overlord said lightly.
Greed Great Soul Overlord was not the same as Envy Great Soul Overlord, who was as thin as a bamboo pole. He looked like a giant scorpion, and every strand of his hair stood up like a scorpion tail, giving him a ferocious appearance.
“Hehe… Hey, isn’t that Soul? Has she not yet sat on the throne of Void City?” said Envy Great Soul Overlord.
Greed Great Soul Overlord sneered. “I’ve long said that this girl is useless, and it’s better for us to directly attack here…”
Soul glanced at the two Great Soul Overlords, her face livid. They did not seem to take her seriously at all. Suddenly, the black energy orb emerged from her hand. The moment it appeared, the few Great Soul Overlords dared not continue to be so rude. Wrapped in the power of the Seven Sins, the energy orb seemed to be a symbol of status.
“I didn’t summon you here for a chat… Now, flatten that restaurant for me!” Soul said coldly as she lifted her hand and pointed at the restaurant underneath.
All the Soul Demons fixed their eyes on the restaurant.
“A restaurant? There’s a restaurant in Void City? Is this some kind of joke?”
“Well… I don’t find it surprising, though. If the Queen of Curses can still stir up trouble, she wouldn’t let you Cursed Goddesses fight each other for the throne, and there wouldn’t be a chance for us Soul Demons to be here.”
Envy Great Soul Overlord smiled evilly. The next moment, he sped forward, turned into a beam of black light, and then hovered in the sky over the restaurant.
“I love to flatten restaurants!” He burst out laughing. A mighty force erupted from inside his skinny body as he stomped his foot toward the restaurant. He wanted to reduce it to ruins with just one blow!
A vast amount of sinful power spread from under the foot, causing the bodies of some of Viscount Ash’s men to explode. Even Saints of the Great Path could not withstand the power of the foot.
Lord Dog focused his eyes and casually threw his paw at the sky. A rumbling sound echoed out as the paw collided with the descending foot. The Law of Time tangled the power of envy, and they kept obliterating each other.
“Oh? The Law of Time? You’re a Havengod of the Chaotic Universe? How did a Heavengod turn into a dog?” Envy Great Soul Overlord was shocked when his move was blocked.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. He asked the people scattered outside to hide inside the restaurant, and he also called those wandering souls into the restaurant.
Based on what the two Great Soul Overlords said, something might have happened to the Queen of Curses. Otherwise, why had she not shown up yet when such a major incident was taking place in her city?
What was happening now was treacherous. According to the Queen’s temper, she should have slaughtered the entire Soul Demon Army. However, the army of Void City was under Soul’s control. Those people were exiles from other universes, so it was impossible to ask them to switch to Bu Fang’s side for the sake of protecting Void City.
In this battle, Bu Fang’s side was in a completely disadvantageous position. Cursed Goddess Soul, on the other hand, had the perfect advantageous position. She would not lose even if she wished. The combination of Nethery and Houtu was no match for her at all.
…
The realm enveloping the front of the Queen of Curses’ palace shattered with a loud noise. Duchess Tianlian retreated several steps in a row, coughing blood. There was a piteous look in her eyes.
The moment the realm was broken, the monstrous power of sin immediately rushed into the perception of the three dukes. The expressions of Duchess Nightmare and Duchess Yunlan changed drastically.
That aura and so much power of sin…
“Look what you’ve done, Tianlian!” Duchess Nightmare was a hot-tempered person, so she bellowed directly. She was too lazy to say anything else. Instead, she stomped the ground and soared into the sky in an instant, turned into a plume of black fog and flew toward the exit.
Duchess Yunlan gave Duchess Tianlian a disappointed look, shook her head, then turned into a stream of light and sped away as well.
In front of the Queen of Curses’ palace, Duchess Tianlian stumbled and sat down. Her face was filled with sorrow. A while later, she breathed a long sigh, got up, glanced over her shoulder at the tightly closed palace, then at the dark sky in the distance. Gradually, a look of determination appeared in her gaze.
…
Envy Great Soul Overlord and Lord Dog began to fight each other in the sky. A Great Soul Overlord fought against a modern-day Heavengod—this was a clash of the top fighting power of two universes!
The Soul Demon Universe was extremely formidable, while the Chaotic Universe was falling behind. However, the battle shook the heavens and earth!
The more they fought, the more violent they became. Eventually, they rushed through the clouds, went into the starry sky, and continued their battle there, raining blows that could destroy the world at each other.
Caught between the two mighty experts, countless stars were reduced to ruins. Fortunately, all the stars in the universe where Void City was located were dead.
Envy Great Soul Overlord had made his move, so Greed Great Soul Overlord also had to strike. Surrounding himself in the terrifying power of sin, he bolted forward. Suddenly, a huge scorpion tail fell from the sky to smash the restaurant. If it hit, half of Void City might be shattered!
“Hey, beauty, I’ll be right back. Wait for me here.” Er Ha turned and looked at Houtu. He did not mind that she rolled her eyes at him. After that, he turned, held the spicy strip between his lips, and rushed out of the restaurant, heading straight toward the scorpion tail.
“Come! Grandson Soul Overlord! Your Grandpa Er Ha is here!” Er Ha roared. The next moment, the scorpion tail smashed him and knocked him to the ground.
Everyone was stunned speechless.
Greed Great Soul Overlord narrowed his eyes. Did someone try to stop him just now? Suddenly, his pupils constricted as he found that someone actually lifted the scorpion tail!
Er Ha lurched to his feet while grabbing the huge scorpion tail. Then, a mighty force erupted from his arms. A loud crash echoed out as he crushed the tail with brute force!
Sucking the spicy strip, he shot at Greed Great Soul Overlord and soon locked the latter in a fierce fight in midair. The Law of Life was very holy, but why did it not reflect in Er Ha’s behavior?

Cursed Goddess Soul’s eyes turned cold when she saw the two Great Soul Overlords were held up by her enemy. Suddenly, she raised the black orb in her hand and cried out, “Listen up, my loyal subjects! Attack and…flatten that restaurant!”
At her order, the army of Soul Demons moved out. A rumbling sound filled the air as countless Soul Demons shot toward the restaurant, each unleashing endless power! It was as if they could flatten the restaurant in just a flash!
“Stop it!” Suddenly, two loud cries echoed out at the same time. Duchess Nightmare and Duchess Yunlan were finally here!
