Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 271: Chapter268-Inner Demon Trial, Today You Belong to Me



Seeing the Archdemon begin her absorption process, Owen also sat down cross-legged a short distance away. The concentrated life energy in this place was extremely beneficial for him as well.

Before long, as Owen formed a mysterious hand seal, the dense life force condensed into a mist that flowed into his body. Every cell in his body vibrated with joy, quickly restoring his energy to its peak.

Then, Owen turned his hand over, revealing the emerald reverse scale given by the Jade Dragon, while grasping the Godslayer Staff firmly in his other hand.

It was time to unlock the fifth seal.

With a thought, he channeled a portion of his mana into the staff, guiding the reverse scale to fuse with it in a dazzling emerald glow. Soon, the Godslayer Staff began to tremble, releasing a surge of fierce, battle-hardened energy that swept through the area.

"Congratulations, Master. The fifth seal of the Godslayer Staff has been unlocked," the system's voice echoed in his mind. "The Godslayer Array is now complete!"

Hearing this, a broad smile spread across Owen's face.

Even when incomplete, the Godslayer Array possessed terrifying destructive power. Now that two-thirds of the previously damaged array was restored, its might had increased tenfold!

Moreover, with the unlocking of this seal, the Godslayer Staff's aura became even more domineering and overwhelming, showcasing a significant boost in its overall power.

Sensing the surge of accumulated experience within, Owen took a deep breath as it began to flood through him, pushing his levels higher.

Grandmaster-tier Lv7... Grandmaster-tier Lv8...

With a resounding boom, Owen's rank skyrocketed to Sage-tier Lvi!

He was now a Sage-tier mage!

Taking a deep breath, Owen felt his mana surge and boil within him, as if merging with the heavens and earth. It was a surreal sensation.

He had finally taken this crucial step forward!

Now, only one more major tier separated him from becoming a God-tier mage!

Breaking through to God-tier would bring about a drastic transformation, one that would elevate his power to unimaginable heights.

Nearby, Elysia, who had followed Owen and the Archdemon here, sensed Owen's sudden rise in tier and couldn't hide the shock on her face.

A Sage-tier mage. While it might still seem insignificant to her, considering her own level as a God King, Owen had only been a Grandmaster-tier mage not long ago.

How much time had passed since then? And now he had already broken through to a whole new tier?!

She recalled how even her sister had spent several years and burned a significant amount of her lifespan, relying on secret techniques, to break through from Grandmaster-tier to Sage- tier.

Yet Owen had achieved this feat in just a matter of days.

The gap between people was truly staggering!

Elysia suddenly had a strong premonition that her current God King-tier might soon be surpassed by Owen!

"Truly worthy of being the one my sister chose!" Elysia sighed inwardly, feeling that her sister and Owen were indeed a perfect match made in the heavens.

Meanwhile, Owen was fully immersed in the transformations occurring in his body following his breakthrough.

If his previous affinity with magic had been considered excellent, now it was as if he could control it as effortlessly as moving a finger.

Additionally, the vast life energy coursing through him made Owen's appetite for power

grow.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to guide a portion of this life energy into his personal world.

The regenerative properties of this energy were astounding, capable of promoting growth and vitality. If he could integrate a significant amount into his world, it would greatly benefit the growth of the World Tree and the development of his internal realm.

Under the cover of the pure white life energy, the plants in his small world began to grow wildly. The stars and blazing sun suspended in the sky seemed to radiate with even greater vibrancy.

Within the small world, Rachel, Madelyn, and Seraphina were the first to notice the changes. They were filled with surprise and immediately sent mental messages to Owen, inquiring about what was happening.

This life force was incredibly potent.

Owen offered a brief explanation, then shook his head in disappointment. Although the life force could accelerate the growth of his small world, it was like rootless duckweed-it disappeared completely once absorbed, unable to sustain itself.

"If I could merge part of the Fate Crystal into my small world, then perhaps a continuous stream of life energy would flow through it..."

Owen murmured softly.

However, to restore the Archdemon's lifespan, the Fate Crystal would have to be entirely fused with her. All he could do now was absorb as much of the surrounding life force as

possible.

With that thought, Owen fully opened his small world, activating the World Tree to take root in the flowing river of life.

But as he was absorbing, he suddenly opened his eyes, looking anxiously in the Archdemon's

direction.

At this moment, the Archdemon had already extracted the Fate Crystal from the stone wall and was using her overwhelming devouring power to gradually refine it.

As long as she completely absorbed the Fate Crystal, her lost lifespan would be restored, and she would become even more ageless and powerful.

However, just at this critical juncture, something seemed to go wrong. The originally serene aura around her body suddenly became chaotic, like boiling oil doused with cold water!

The surrounding void twisted and surged, and a strange, malevolent energy erupted from her

body.

"An Inner Demon Trial?" Owen's pupils shrank, worry flashing in his eyes.

For a powerhouse like the Archdemon, few calamities could threaten their life, but the Inner Demon Trial was one of the deadliest.

If she failed to overcome it, her soul would be shattered, and she would be reduced to a

mindless husk.

Typically, such trials only occurred when emotions fluctuated violently. Why had the Archdemon, who was calm and composed, suddenly succumbed to this trial?

"Elder Sister!" Elysia, sensing the Archdemon's sudden turmoil, panicked and rushed to her

side, trying to rouse her from the Inner Demon Trial.

As a demon, she understood better than anyone how terrifying this tribulation could be.

But why would her sister, with such a stable mindset and immense power, suddenly experience such a huge emotional upheaval?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Confused, she extended her mental power toward the Archdemon, hoping to pull her out of

the Inner Demon Trial.

However, as soon as her mind power approached, it was instantly shredded by the distorted aura surrounding the Archdemon.
