My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1920: Breakthrough

As the Sect Hierarch’s body, serving as a vessel, was forcibly shattered by Xiao Zheng, the Demon God’s remnant soul was finally exposed to the world.

Its appearance was identical to the Demon God Statue, with three heads and six arms, looking formidable and solemn!

However, surprisingly, without a body to carry it, this remnant soul of the Demon God was like a willow wisp, unable to withstand the blowing of the fierce wind! The soul’s form seemed to be on the brink of tearing apart!

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng naturally knew this was a perfect opportunity to eliminate the remnant soul of the Demon God.

Without any hesitation, he stomped heavily on the ground, using the force to leap into the air, charging towards the remnant soul!

Finally, he struck with both fists, the fierce power of his punches mercilessly annihilating the remnant soul!

Although the remnant soul had no consciousness, it let out a painful howl!

It wanted to retaliate!

Knowing the soul’s intentions, Xiao Zheng did not give it any chance to counterattack, delivering his full strength with one final punch, completely destroying the remnant soul summoned by the Sect Hierarch!

The battle was over!

Xiao Zheng landed steadily on the ground!

Now he appeared utterly exhausted, even his shirt on his back was soaked with sweat. Despite killing the Sect Hierarch and the Demon God’s remnant soul effortlessly, only he knew the true hardship.

Just like earlier.

If Xiao Zheng had not timely destroyed the Sect Hierarch’s body, allowing the Demon God’s remnant soul to absorb enough of the world’s vital energy, escalating its power to a higher realm, he would have died without a trace!

Lying on the ground, Xiao Zheng took deep breaths of fresh air.

He felt soreness all over, not even wanting to move a finger.

Yet worrying about the Evil Eyes, Xiao Zheng ultimately struggled to stand up.

However, upon standing up, he suddenly noticed a gray bead appearing amid the ruins left from the recent battle. The bead seemed to be made of glass, with strands of gray gas swirling around it, appearing quite mystical.

"What is this?"

"Could it be a treasure dropped from the Demon God’s remnant soul?"

Xiao Zheng furrowed his eyebrows slightly before walking over to pick up the bead.

Strangely enough.

Once Xiao Zheng placed the bead in his palm, a peculiar fragrance wafted into his nose. It was as if the gray bead was a rare delicacy on earth, causing a trace of greed to appear in his eyes.

Driven by some unknown force, he unexpectedly swallowed the bead whole!

The bead slid down his throat smoothly, rapidly reaching his stomach.

Only then did Xiao Zheng feel regret.

The gray bead seemed like a bomb exploding within his stomach. A powerful energy then rampaged inside his meridians, like a runaway train, crashing everywhere!

Only then did Xiao Zheng realize the bead was a crystallization of the Demon God’s remnant soul’s power!

Having accepted the God of Death’s legacy, it conflicted with the Demon God’s remnant soul’s power, resulting in a fierce battle between two distinctly different forces within his body!

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

A pain like tearing his heart and lungs apart!

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth, refusing to cry out.

However, his face had already twisted, appearing utterly ferocious.

Xiao Zheng felt as if he were drowning, with even breathing being a luxury. His consciousness grew dim, seemingly ready to slip into slumber at any moment.

Just as he was about to give in, the twelve implanted Golden Bones within him suddenly erupted!

The strange energy flowed gently like a trickling spring, coursing through Xiao Zheng’s meridians, repairing the parts just destroyed by the Devil Power. Next, the Golden Bone’s strength began suppressing the Demon God’s power.

Despite the Demon God’s power appearing extremely violent, it eventually became a docile lamb under the Golden Bone’s suppression.

The Demon God’s power and the God of Death’s legacy intertwined, ultimately transforming into the purest energy, nurturing Xiao Zheng.

The warm feeling washed over him, putting him quickly to sleep...

He slept unknowingly for a long time.

When Xiao Zheng awoke, the anomaly within his body had disappeared, with dawn just breaking.

Sitting cross-legged on the altar, his gaze seemed somewhat dazed.

After roughly two to three minutes, Xiao Zheng finally regained his senses. He recalled the scene of him swallowing the gray bead and hastily began introspecting, examining his body.

Soon, his expression turned extremely peculiar.

It held complexity, surprise, and excitement...

Because Xiao Zheng suddenly discovered that he had made a breakthrough!

Swallowing the gray bead shattered his bottleneck, allowing him to enter the Supreme Realm alongside Hades. Although only at the Early-stage Perfect Realm, his actual combat power could easily put him on par with a Mid Marvelous Realm expert!

"This truly is..."

"Never expected the Sect Hierarch of the Demon God Sect to present me such a gift before dying."

"But honestly, it was really dangerous just now. Without the explosion of my Golden Bone to suppress the Demon God’s power, my body would have been blown apart by the force like the Saintess of the Demon God Sect!"

Recalling the earlier danger, Xiao Zheng appeared relieved yet uneasy.

He stood up, adapting to his current body and realm.

Feeling the surging strength within, Xiao Zheng was confident if given a chance again, he could defeat the Sect Hierarch with one punch! Even if he summoned the Demon God’s power, he wouldn’t withstand a hit from Xiao Zheng!

Xiao Zheng then attempted flight.

Flying in the sky brought him immense joy.

After flying for about three to four minutes, he reluctantly landed on the altar. He still had unfinished business, as the Evil Eyes awaited rescue.

With all nine Demon God Statues destroyed, the Demon God’s remnant soul vanished completely.

The vines emerging from the altar’s base have all withered.

The female corpses, freed from the vines’ constraints, fell onto the altar. Their lifelike faces triggered a hint of sadness in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

Waving his hand, an invisible force moved the female corpses into the battle-induced ruins. With another wave, the ruins were buried by the earth, forming a tomb.

Burying them was the only thing Xiao Zheng could do for them now.

After burying the female corpses, he quickly approached the Evil Eyes.

The Evil Eyes had their eyes shut, appearing lifeless.

However, Xiao Zheng could still sense a lingering strand of life within him...
