Chapter 1182

Under the attacks of Gu Jin and Gu Kong, the huge body of the Purgatory Demon Tree was cut into pieces.

It wasn't that their methods were cruel, but that the Purgatory Demon Tree's vitality was too tenacious. Even if he couldn't regenerate under the suppression of the two's Law Power, he wouldn't die unless he was cut into tiny pieces.

The cutting continued for nearly a quarter of an hour. Only when the nearly ten-thousand-meter-tall monster was reduced to grains the size of gravel did the Purgatory Demon Tree's wails finally die down.

As the Tree Demon died, the blood-red crown on its head suddenly turned into a beam of red light and shot toward Gu Ding.

When Gu Ding saw this, he thought it was the Tree Monster's last attack. Unexpectedly, before the red glow could get close, the Black King's Holy Crown on its head automatically appeared, emitting a terrifying suction force that sucked in the red glow.

Gu Ding looked up and noticed that there was an additional blood-colored gem on his black holy crown.

"What is this?" Gu Ding did not quite understand what was happening.

"True King's Holy Crown … No wonder your strength is so much stronger than a normal Holy King," the Ocean Emperor muttered after seeing this.

"What's the True King's Holy Crown?" Gu Ding asked quickly.

"Let's get down to business first. We'll talk about it when we have time." The Sea King waved his hand.

The demon tree's life force quickly began to dissipate from its body that had been reduced to dust.

Gu Ding and Neptune immediately carried Lilliath and the others to the area where the demon tree's vitality was dissipating. Even Biggie and Ayesha were carried over.

Biggie and Ayesha immediately began to absorb the life force of the demon tree to heal their injuries.

Gu Ding and Neptune were worried that Lilliath and the others would not be able to absorb their vitality. However, they did not expect that they would be able to absorb the life force and nomological powers of the demon tree even faster than Biggie and Ayesha while they were asleep.

"What's going on?" Gu Ding did not know if this was a good or bad thing, so he looked at Neptune.

"This is a good thing. These life force and Law fragments are automatically seeking a host to prevent themselves from dissipating. Therefore, the heavier the injury, the faster the absorption. Lily and the others don't even need to use their consciousness to actively absorb it. "Neptune's face revealed a relieved expression.

Gu Ding finally felt relieved when he saw the group of people's damaged bodies quickly coming back together.

"There's nothing else for us to do. Let's go back!" Gu Kong called out to Gu Ding and returned to Gu Ding's mini world with Gu Jin.

After confirming that Lilliath and the others were fine, Gu Ding remembered that Rong Ye and the others had also been attacked.

In a flash, he appeared beside Rong Ye and the others. Rong Ye, Kou De, and Sonya were all unconscious. Kou De and Sonya's bodies were almost destroyed, and they were only slightly better than Liliath and Miko.

As for Angelina, she was completely paralyzed beside a tree stump, her back leaning against it. Although she had not fainted, it was obvious that she could not move at all.

Gu Ding was not worried that Angelina would find out about the secret of his two avatars because everyone's memories would be erased once they left King's Path.

Gu Ding's gaze swept across the four of them. When his gaze landed on Angelina and Rong Ye, he hesitated.

To him, Angelina was a complete stranger. Before entering the Path of Kings, he had never even heard of this woman's name, so he knew nothing about her origins. Moreover, she had fought with Elsa before, but Lin Yun didn't know her motive.

As for Rong Ye, he was from the Wargod Palace. The Wargod Palace was the death place of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, and they had sent powerhouses to hunt them down many times. The last time, even the Palace Master of the Wargod Palace had brought a group of feudal lords to the Vikings to demand their release. If not for the Sovereign's Order, the entire Gu Ding Pirate Crew would have been slaughtered.

"Forget it. Since we're going to save them, there's no need to favor one and discriminate against the other. Our pirate crew already has three Holy Kings, so we don't have to be afraid of these two. " Gu Ding walked over to Kou De and Sonya, picked them up, and sent them to where the Demon Tree was. Then, he turned around and walked toward Angelina.

Angelina looked at Gu Ding cautiously as he approached. "What are you trying to do?!"

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Gu Ding moved closer to Angelina and asked with a smile.

"I saw your avatar, so you want to silence me." Angelina hesitated for a moment before giving the answer, but she immediately added, "You should also know the rules of King's Path. After we leave, our memories will be erased, so you don't have to worry about me revealing your secret."

"You're quite smart …" Gu Ding said as he stretched out a hand toward Angelina.

At that moment, Angelina could not even move her fingers. She knew that she was powerless to resist, so she closed her eyes helplessly. However, the next moment, she realized that her body had become light.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself being carried on Gu Ding's shoulders.

Gu Ding squatted down again and grabbed the belt behind Rong Ye's thigh with one hand. He brought the two of them to the area of the Demon Tree and casually threw them aside.

"Why didn't you kill me and Rong Ye? I remember that the Wargod Palace has a grudge against you, right? "Angelina was stunned for a moment and could not help but ask.

"There's no need. You're no longer a threat." Gu Ding did not even raise his head. His gaze fell on Liliath and the others who were not far away. "Besides, if only my Gu Ding Pirate Crew survives the entire King's Path, and everyone else dies, it will only be more troublesome."

"But what you did before didn't seem like you're afraid of the Seven Star Holy Land. You bullied the Wargod Palace to that extent." Angelina curled her lips.

"We're not afraid of trouble, but we hate trouble that comes knocking on our door." Gu Ding glanced at Angelina and said no more.

Seeing that Gu Ding was not interested in talking to her, Angelina also calmed down to recuperate.

The bodies of Liliath and the others quickly recovered to a perfect state, but they were still quickly absorbing the life force and Rule Fragments that escaped from the Demon Tree.

About two hours later, Biggie and Ayesha stood up one after another. Their injuries were completely healed, and even their combat effectiveness was restored to peak condition.

On the evening of the first day, Angelina also recovered and reached peak condition. Rong Ye's injuries were mostly healed and he also woke up. After all, he had old injuries and had been fighting with them.

Early the next morning, Hark and Phaser's injuries were completely healed and they woke up from their coma. Both of them said that they had made slight improvements in their Rule, and they only needed to break through the last barrier before they could advance to Holy King.

There was no point in continuing to absorb Rule Fragments when their understanding of the Rule had reached such a level. Both of them were so close to becoming Holy Kings.

At noon the next day, Rong Ye's old injuries were completely healed and he was back to peak condition. He also expressed his gratitude to Gu Ding.

Rong Ye and Angelina did not leave early even though Gu Ding had told them that they could leave at any time.

On the evening of the third day, Kou De woke up. His injuries were completely healed, and his combat effectiveness was also restored to peak condition. However, Sonya was still in a coma.

On the evening of the fourth day, Liliath's body showed an abnormal state. The Rule Sigil on her body suddenly appeared automatically.

Seeing this, Gu Ding was stunned for a moment, but he was immediately filled with surprise — it was a sign of breaking through to Holy King.

Sure enough, the Rule Sigil on Liliath's body began to rise from one hundred and fifty. One hundred and fifty-one, one hundred and fifty-two, one hundred and fifty-three …

It skyrocketed until it reached one hundred and eighty Rule Sigil before it stopped.

After that, all the Rule Sigil rose toward the top of Liliath's head and condensed into a purple crown on top of her head.

After the purple crown was formed, Liliath slowly opened her eyes, and the crown disappeared into her body.

Rong Ye and the others were stunned, while Kou De's face was full of envy.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Liliath touched her face and found nothing unusual. Then, she immediately took out the selfie monitor and saw that there was nothing strange growing on her face. Only then did she ask, "What are you all looking at?"

"Just check your Rule Sigil and you'll know." Gu Ding grinned.

"Rule Sigil, why do I have to check the Rule Sigil …" Although Liliath asked, she had already started to check her body. She almost screamed when she saw it. "The Rule Sigil has become one hundred and eighty!"

"I've become a Holy King?" Liliath looked at Gu Ding and Neptune with some doubt. She could not quite believe it.

"Yes, you've become a Holy King." Gu Ding nodded.

It was not until she heard Gu Ding's affirmative answer that Liliath realized that she had really become a Holy King. However, she was only happy for a moment before she asked another question, "Didn't I pass out? Why did I suddenly become a Holy King? Gu Ding, what did you do to me? "

"We didn't do anything to you," Gu Ding said helplessly. "Neptune, you explain."

Neptune explained to Liliath, and it took some time to answer all of Liliath's questions.

On the morning of the fifth day, a powerful Rule Power shook again, waking everyone up from their cultivation.

The source of the Law Power's vibration was an unconscious Sonya, and the Law Runes around her body also began to quickly appear one after another.

Everyone looked at Sonya in surprise. After Liliath's change the day before, everyone knew that Sonya was also going to be promoted to a Holy King.

Sonya's promotion was also very smooth, and the process was similar to Liliath's. However, the shape and color of the King's Holy Crown on her head were slightly different.

The sixth day passed, and the Gu Ding Pirates' Mikko and Becca still had not woken up.

Gu Ding once again suggested to Rong Ye and the others to leave early.

After trading one blood fruit with Rong Ye and three blood fruits with Kode, they did not refuse this time and rushed toward the end of the fourth stage.

The rest of the Gu Ding Pirates waited patiently. At this time, there was still more than half a month before the end of the fourth stage, so they were not in a hurry.

It was not until the evening of the seventh day that the sky had just darkened that the Rule Sigil on Mikko's body began to appear and spread out in circles.

From one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty, they formed a silver crown on top of her head. Mikko finally woke up.

As for the last one, Béka, who was still unconscious, she showed no signs of waking up. His body did not stop absorbing the life force and fragments of the Tree Demon.

It was not until the tenth day that all the life force and fragments of the Tree Demon were absorbed, but Becca still did not wake up.

Gu Ding had no choice but to put Becca into his mini world and let Gu Kong and Gu Jin watch over him. Only then did the group rush toward the end of the fourth stage.
