Chapter 163
The elemental heart was the Earth Elemental King’s core which was equivalent to a human heart . Once the element’s heart was broken, even the powerful elemental kings would be completely annihilated within 7 days .

Originally, the Earth Elemental King had lost almost all his power, so he couldn’t do that . Since Chen Rui retrieved the 4 fountain of life, Glorfin’s power that suppressed the Earth Elemental King was greatly reduced .
Glorfin’s crushing Tag stimulated the will of the Earth Elemental King . To prevent Glorfin from gaining the fountain of life and regain control of himself and all the earth elementals, he forcefully restored a part of his consciousness . Then, the Earth Elemental King desperately erupted his remaining strength . Eventually, he destroyed his elemental heart .
As a result, Glorfin’s power not only plummeted, even if he was able to obtain the fountain of life now, he would only have 7 days of life left .
“Damn earth elemental!” This change wasn’t anticipated by Glorfin at all as he roared loudly . Seeing Chen Rui and the others trying to get rid of the crystal to escape, he snorted and the power of the territory suddenly increased by dozens of times . The crystal that was spreading rapidly solidified everyone and it kept spreading all the way to the neck, leaving only their heads .
After casting, the yellow light in Glorfin’s eyes were suddenly dimmed . It seemed that he erupted his territory’s power before his strength was lowered to the minimum to control the people .
“I have almost exhausted my strength now, but unfortunately, none of you can break free from this territory . ” Glorfin sneered, “This Soul-Eating Territory is also called the Limit Territory . Unless you can surpass your current realm, otherwise you can’t break free . ”
“I’ll make you witness your companions die one by one now!”
Glorfin lifted his finger with difficulty . The will of the Earth Elemental King who broke his elemental heart had reduced to the minimum, so Glorfin could forcefully move the body . This was the first time in 400 years, but in any case, he only had 7 days of life left .
Glorfin glanced around, raised a finger and pointed at the earth elemental, Doug . Doug’s eyes showed a startled expression . Then, an explosion sounded and the crushed Doug followed in the footsteps of Tag .
In a blink of an eye, Glorfin had killed five people . He pointed his hand again at Lusa who wasn’t far behind from Chen Rui .

“No!” Tim saw Glorfin’s hand of death was about to point at his wife, and he couldn’t help but yelled . However, he was only at the middle-stage of Higher Demon at the moment, so it was impossible to break through the current realm .
Glorfin laughed cruelly . Lusa had no time to give Tim a yearning look before her entire body exploded . The crushed crystal splashed everywhere, making Tim’s eyes filled with hatred .
The one that Glorfin pointed next was Lysa who was beside Lusa .
“Please! Don’t hurt her! She still has a baby in her belly . ” Tim’s voice trembled . Lysa was his last wife, and she was still pregnant .
“Hiss“, an angry hiss sounded and it was from Queen Medusa . Queen Medusa’s eyes constantly flickered with bright light . The “God-Eating Mask” looked into Queen Medusa’s eyes and sneered, “Your petrifying ability might be useful against same-level Great Demon King . Yet, it has no effect on Demon Overlord . Besides, my body is an earth elemental! Since you are so anxious, I’ll let you die first . ”
Glorfin’s finger pointed at Queen Medusa and her body trembled for a while . She withstood for a moment, and finally, she was unable to resist it . Her body burst apart .
Although Chen Rui never liked the suspicious Queen Medusa, to be fair, everything she did was for the tribe . Perhaps she wasn’t great as a friend, but she was definitely a competent leader .
After Glorfin killed Queen Medusa, his finger pointed at Lysa .
“Glorfin! You’re such a despicable thrash! Stop it!” Chen Rui was extremely angry . He struggled to gather the Star Power in his body to break through the Mizar state and get rid of the Limit Territory . Even if he died, he had to kill Glorfin .
However, a huge realm couldn’t be broke through whenever they wanted, especially from the low to the middle level, even if he had reached the peak of the Mizar state . 6 stardust in the three-dimensional human body was moving fast and the light has burned to the limit, but the surface was enveloped in a layer of pale black, which held the light tightly . He was still one step away from breaking through .
Strangely, this “black” didn’t seem to be originating from Glorfin’s power .

“You’re just bringing about your own destruction . I wanted to keep you until the end before I kill you . ” Glorfin heard Chen Rui’s furious voice and shifted his finger from Lysa to Chen Rui, “Just now you said you’re a human? I never thought that there’s actually such weak a human in the Demon Realm . ”
Chen Rui heard Glorfin’s weird tone and asked, “There are other powerful humans in the Demon Realm?”
“Of course!” Glorfin sneered, “After you die, I will tell your corpse . As a human guest who came to the Demon Realm, I, Glorfin Beelzebub specially grant you the privilege of living for one more minute . Seize this minute to say goodbye to your woman . ”
Chen Rui knew that it was the brink of life and death . He yelled aloud and exploded all his strength as if he was risking his life . The light from the “stardust” in his body suddenly increased . The crazy rising light continued to hit the limit . There was even stardust that burst open as it couldn’t withstand the pressure . Yet, the light that shone to the limit was still unable to penetrate the black “imprisonment” layer on his body .
Not only did the breakthrough fail, but he also suffered severe internal damage due to the huge rebound . The starlight in the 3-D body suddenly dimmed . Even its movement stopped . Chen Rui felt severe pain from his internal organs and the huge rebound force made him lost the strength to even move or talk . If it were the crystals that congealed on his body, he would’ve fallen to the ground already .
Forcibly breaking through had completely failed .
Glorfin noticed Chen Rui’s situation and shook his head, “Truly disappointing, petty human . It seems that you are going to be the next person to be crushed . ”
Glorfin said so, but he was still a little hesitant as he seemed to want to do something with Chen Rui .
At that time, Chen Rui suddenly felt that his body was burning . It wasn’t his strength, but it was Athena in his arms! Athena’s red eyes were burning with red flames and a long curved horn extended on her head . Unlike the past, the curved horn was longer and curlier . Under the crystal, her wheat-colored skin became red and a faint pattern that she didn’t have usually could be seen . Her purple hair also began to turn red .
Athena slowly raised her head . At that moment, in her eyes, there wasn’t Glorfin but only Chen Rui .
“Chen Rui, do you like me?”

Chen Rui couldn’t speak at the moment . He mustered all his strength trying to nod, but he couldn’t .
“I know you like mem but the woman that you truly love is Princess Shea . She even gave you the ‘Dark Will . '” Athena looked at him deeply . Although a scary flame was burning in her eyes, what Chen Rui saw was a fiery affection .
“Isn’t my transformation really guly now? You’re a human . In your heart, you should be scared or hate me . I know I can’t compare myself to Princess Royal…” There was a teardrop flowing down from Athena’s flame-like eyes, but she suddenly laughed . “Yet, I still love you . Not just liking but love . ” Chen Rui’s eyes became hot instantly . It turned out that the woman Athena had misunderstood at first was Shea . He desperately wanted to say something, but the strong rebound from failing the breakthrough previously made him unable to say a word at this critical moment .
The crystal on Athena’s body began to break inch by inch . Her fiery lips touched his lips voluntarily for the first time .
“Perhaps, it will be like the story you told . We will meet again in the afterlife . No matter what, don’t forget me . ”
It’s not what you think!
Opinionated silly woman!
Don’t go! Athena!
Chen Rui was screaming desperately in his heart, but no words could come out of his mouth .
The fiery red lips left Chen Rui . Athena looked at him deeply as if she wanted to engrave his final trace on her soul . Then, she never looked back . Her body was blazing in flame . She appeared instantly in front of the Earth Elemental King controlled by Glorfin and chopped the Guardian’s Sword with a whistling sound .
“God-Eating Mask” showed a faint light . Athena’s sword was blocked by a layer of crystal wall that suddenly appeared . Her entire body was shocked by the impact and flew backward . Her palm had cracked and bled, and she could barely hold the greatsword . However, she still clenched her teeth and continued to attack even after being repelled again and again .
“Unexpected…” Glorfin shook his head . “I never thought this woman will actually be the one breaking through . Even if my strength is greatly reduced, it’s not something that a Demon King like you can rival . Die!”
A powerful destructive force rushed toward Athena . The flame on Athena’s body suddenly turned into a strange color . The power exerted by Glorfin couldn’t shake the flame . Then, there was a dagger in her hand out of nowhere . Her blood were flowing from both her wrists, but it didn’t evaporate or dissipate in the flame, instead it merged into the flame and burned .
The flame’s light became unprecedentedly bright . The entire hall was filled with fiery heat, even Glorfin’s “God-Eating Mask’s” eyes turned red .
That was a flame that fully ignited her life . It was like a meteor in the universe . Although it was only a moment, the instant glory was enough for eternity .
“Although the brillianceglory of life is beautiful, unfortunately, it is too weak to dispel the eternal darkness . ” Glorfin looked at Chen Rui who was desperately trying to move, “Incompetent guy, you can only watch your woman burn her remaining life for you . ”
The Guardian’s Sword in Athena’s hand was also stained with her blood and wrapped in the flame of life . Glorfin slowly raised his hand, and Athena’s body shook . She felt that the pressure was doubled . Even her flame of life was about to be extinguished as if it was blown by strong winds .
Athena shouted and the flames in her eyes were blazing again . The Guardian’s Sword left her hand and spun toward Glorfin . That blow had exhausted all the power of her life, so her body couldn’t withstand the pressure suddenly . She flew backward, hitting a huge pillar and fell to the ground . The flame on her body faded quickly .
Glorfin had difficulty in moving; he couldn’t avoid the greatsword flying toward him . He moved his mind and a crystal wall appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of the greatsword . However, the greatsword suddenly shook and actually crossed the crystal wall as if the crystal wall was just air .
“Power that can travel through space? No!”
“Klang!” The Guardian’s Sword hit the mask on the Earth Elemental King’s face .
The “God-Eating Mask” fell off and finally dropped to the ground .
