Chapter 894
Refining the Earthly Supreme Dark Demon
The dozen or so dark demons that had been chasing the human race vanished silently, as if a few specks of dust had been wiped away.
Sunlight briefly pierced through the murky clouds, illuminating the astonished, bewildered, and then ecstatic faces of the survivors at the edge of the valley.
The seriously injured old man struggled to get up and pay his respects, while several young disciples trembled with excitement, thinking they had encountered a legendary reclusive master.
However, in that very instant when hope was just beginning to emerge and the atmosphere eased a little!
"Humph!"
A cold, brutal snort, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth like the shattering of ancient ice!
This cold snort did not come from any particular direction, but seemed to come from some dark, eroded corner thousands of miles away on the continent, carrying a condescending indifference and fury!
Above the valley, the murky, dark purple clouds suddenly churned violently, like boiling asphalt!
Immediately afterwards, the clouds were forcibly torn apart and pushed aside by an irresistible and terrifying force, and a pure, dark pillar of light that seemed to be able to devour all light crashed down from the highest point, its target pointing directly at Lin Langtian, who had just appeared!
Before the beam of light even arrived, an evil pressure far surpassing that of all previous Dark Demons had already enveloped the surrounding area like a tangible shackle!
The earth sank silently, and space solidified like an iron plate. Those human cultivators who had just escaped were instantly like insects frozen in amber, their breathing and thoughts almost stopping, leaving only boundless fear and a feeling of suffocation!
Under this oppressive force, they were as insignificant as dust!
Earth Supreme!
Moreover, he is a genuine, extraterrestrial sovereign filled with pure destructive and devouring intent!
For the first time, Lin Langtian's brows twitched slightly on his calm face, but his eyes remained as still as a deep well.
He didn't even look up at the descending pillar of dark light; he simply raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and gently pressed it upwards.
"Buzz!"
An invisible, heavy, and seemingly sky-high yellow force field instantly spread out from the center of his palm, forming a semi-circular shield that enveloped him and the human cultivators behind him who were imprisoned by the pressure.
"Boom!"
The dark beam of light slammed violently into the Xuanhuang protective shield!
An indescribable roar erupted, and a violent energy shockwave swept out in a ring, leveling the mountains, rocks, and forests within a radius of dozens of miles and turning them into dust!
If it weren't for Lin Langtian's protective shield, those survivors would have been wiped out long ago!
The Primordial Chaos Shield trembled violently, its surface rippling, yet it remained as solid as a mountain, completely blocking the destructive power of the dark pillar of light.
"Hmm? A mere human who has just entered the Earthly Sovereign realm can actually withstand an attack from me?"
A hoarse, overlapping voice, like the whispers of countless vengeful spirits, came from the high heavens, carrying a hint of surprise, which then transformed into an even more intense cruelty and interest.
The dark pillar of light dissipated, and a figure slowly descended, riding on churning demonic clouds.
It was nearly three zhang tall, its entire body covered with a hideous carapace as smooth as obsidian, yet covered with twisted dark red demonic patterns. It was humanoid in shape, but had three pairs of segmented arms covered with barbs. Its head resembled a dragon but was not a dragon, covered with bone spikes, and its pair of vertical pupils burned with deep purple demonic flames.
It simply stood there, and a dark demonic domain naturally formed around it, constantly writhing and devouring light. Within the domain, everything withered and spiritual energy became chaotic.
His aura had clearly reached the peak of the lower Earthly Sovereign level! Far surpassing Lin Langtian, who had just stepped into the Earthly Sovereign realm!
"Dark Demon Clan, Bone-Eating Demon General." The demon announced its title, its purple demonic flames locking onto Lin Langtian, its voice carrying a mocking tone, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Human, your flesh and soul smell delicious. Offer up those ants behind you and submit, and I may grant you the opportunity to be transformed into a high-ranking demon servant."
Lin Langtian did not respond to its nonsense.
His gaze swept over the dark demonic domain filled with destruction and chaos, sensing the evil power within that domain constantly eroding and assimilating the surrounding world, and a cold look of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"The extraterrestrial evil race is truly disgusting." He spoke calmly, finally turning his gaze entirely to the Bone-Eating Demon General.
"Now that we're here, we don't need to leave."
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Langtian moved!
He didn't test him; he used his full power directly!
"Primordial Demonic Talisman, the Power of Prison Suppression!"
He let out a low shout, and a phantom image of the Primordial Ancestral Symbol, in shades of dark yellow and gold, flashed and disappeared between his brows!
A power far purer and more magnificent than before, seemingly originating from the primordial chaos at the beginning of time, erupted from his body!
This time, it's no longer a simple force field or fist intent.
Centered on Lin Langtian, a miniature primordial world, filled with the illusory images of mountains and rivers, the chanting of ancient people, and the vast and profound aura, instantly expanded, like a real small world projection, and crashed into the Dark Demon Domain of the Bone-Eating Demon General!
After breaking through to the Earthly Sovereign realm, Lin Langtian was clearly more adept at using the Primordial Demonic Talisman!
Two completely different forces collided violently!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only silent annihilation and erosion!
The all-consuming darkness and chaos in the Dark Demon Realm, when it collided with the primordial power of the Primordial Void Realm that bears all things and suppresses everything, was as if it had met its nemesis, emitting a piercing "hissing" sound, and was quickly forced back, compressed, and dissolved!
"What?! This is power?! So pure and powerful?!"
The purple demonic flames of the Bone-Eating Demon General suddenly contracted, revealing surprise for the first time!
This person is no ordinary individual!
"Dark Demon Sky-Eating Claw!"
Thinking of this, the Bone-Eating Demon General dared not be careless any longer. It swung its six arthropod arms at the same time, and the monstrous demonic energy condensed into six pitch-black giant claws that covered the sky and were wrapped with the wails of endless vengeful souls. They tore through space from different directions and, with a vicious power that corroded bones and ravaged souls, fiercely grabbed at Lin Langtian!
Each of these claws was enough to easily tear apart the defense of an ordinary lower-level Earthly Sovereign!
Lin Langtian was in the center of the primordial void realm, like the master of the world.
Facing the six demonic claws that were attacking him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly raised his hands, forming an ancient and simple hand seal. "Primordial... True Seal!"
As he completed the hand seals, the flowing mountains and rivers and the chanting phantoms of the ancestors in the primordial void instantly shone brightly, and endless primordial power gathered between his hands.
It coalesced into a massive seal, no more than a foot in size, yet seemingly weighing over a billion jin, entirely dark yellow, with ancient runes inscribed on it as if the world had been created!
The moment the seal took shape, the entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles seemed to tremble slightly!
"town!"
Lin Langtian pushed forward with both hands!
The Xuanhuang seal flew out of his hand, growing larger in the wind, instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang-long object, like Mount Buzhou collapsing, carrying the supreme majesty of suppressing hell and annihilating all demons.
It slowly but irresistibly struck towards the six attacking Dark Demon Sky-Eating Claws and the Bone-Eating Demon General's true form behind them!
"No!"
The Bone-Eating Demon let out a terrified scream; it sensed a deadly threat!
The immense power contained within that great seal completely suppressed it!
It frantically channeled its demonic energy, its six demonic claws desperately closing together in an attempt to grasp the seal, while its dark demonic domain was condensed to its limit, transforming into a demonic shield covered with distorted faces that blocked its way!
However, it was all in vain!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With six muffled thuds, the six Dark Demon Sky-Eating Claws, each containing most of the power of the Bone-Eating Demon General, shattered like paper the moment they came into contact with the Primordial Seal of Xuanhuang! The demonic energy dissipated with a mournful cry!
Immediately afterwards, the Xuanhuang Seal was imprinted on the condensed magic shield!
"Crack! Boom!"
The magic shield lasted for less than a breath before it became cracked and exploded!
The great seal, its momentum undiminished, landed solidly on the six segmented arms of the Bone-Eating Demon General, which were crossing and blocking!
"what!"
A piercing scream, so shrill it was inhuman, echoed through the sky!
The bone-corroding demon general's segmented arms, comparable to a quasi-sacred artifact, were broken and shattered inch by inch under the suppression of the Xuanhuang Seal!
The raging primordial power surged into its demonic body, wantonly destroying its demonic core and meridians, and suppressing all its magical power!
Its enormous demonic body plummeted from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily into the earth below and creating a bottomless crater. Demonic blood gushed out like a spring, and its aura instantly weakened to the extreme, leaving it with no strength left to fight!
The power of the Primordial Ancestral Symbol is truly terrifying!
Lin Langtian, who had just entered the Earthly Sovereign realm, relied on his unparalleled primordial power after his upgrade to crush and severely injure the Bone-Eating Demon General, who was also a lower-level Earthly Sovereign!
However, Lin Langtian did not stop.
He flashed and appeared at the edge of the pit, looking down at the Bone-Eating Demon General struggling and roaring at the bottom of the pit, unable to escape.
When dealing with extraterrestrial evil races, especially those at the Earthly Sovereign level, we must not give them any chance to breathe.
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever seen a powerful extraterrestrial evil race expert who far surpassed the level of the former Demon Emperor.
The demonic energy contained within this Bone-Eating Demon General must be extremely abundant.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian made a thought and reached out with one hand to grab at the void.
"The Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Tower, appear!"
"Buzz!"
Amidst the ancient and desolate humming sound, a nine-story, pitch-black ancient tower emerged from Lin Langtian's palm, growing in the wind and transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall giant tower, suspended above the deep pit!
On the tower, the reliefs of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and the sacrifices of the ancestors seem to come alive, radiating a righteous aura that specifically restrains all evil spirits and heretics!
The next moment, the Qiankun Demon Suppressing Tower shone brightly, and the bottom of the tower opened up. A pure white light with a hint of gold, known as the "Qiankun Demon Suppressing Light," shone down like the most intense fire of purification, instantly engulfing the heavily injured Bone-Eating Demon General at the bottom of the pit!
"No! What kind of sacred object is this?! Ah!"
Under the illumination of the Cleansing Light, the Bone-Eating Demon let out unprecedented howls of fear and pain.
Its demonic body, like snow meeting the scorching sun, began to melt and evaporate violently, with its pure and vast demonic energy and primordial energy being forcibly stripped away and drawn out.
It immediately transformed into thick, viscous black energy streams, which were continuously sucked into the bottom of the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower!
As these pure demonic energies of the Earthly Sovereign level poured in, the long-silent top-level space inside the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower suddenly underwent a change!
The eighth floor of the tower is not empty; instead, it is filled with eight ancient demonic statues of different shapes, all equally ferocious and terrifying, exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence!
These demonic statues are naturally the Eight Heavenly Demons. After Lin Langtian advanced to the Earthly Supreme level, he moved the Eight Heavenly Demons into the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower, where they became part of him!
At this moment, under the frenzied infusion of the pure demonic energy of the Earthly Supreme-level Demon General, the eight dormant demon statues, as if injected with powerful vitality, began to slowly awaken!
On their cold, stone-like bodies, a dark, blood-red or purple luster began to flow, and a terrifying red light faintly shone from their tightly closed eyes!
An aura of destruction and savagery, more terrifying and condensed than before, seemingly incorporating the characteristics of multiple ferocious demons, emanated from the eight demon statues, causing the pressure inside the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower to suddenly increase several levels!
The terrifying demonic light emanating from the tower walls seemed to carry a hint of cold, murderous sharpness!
Absorb and refine the supreme evil spirits of the earth, and use the energy to nourish yourself and enhance your power!
This is what makes the Eight Heavenly Demons so terrifying as to be able to advance to the top thirty-six peerless divine powers!
Within the deep pit, the wails of the Bone-Eating Demon General grew weaker and weaker, and its enormous demonic body rapidly withered and dissipated.
Ultimately, it vanished completely, leaving only a ball of the purest, dark purple energy source, stripped of all evil thoughts, which was then completely absorbed by the Demon Suppression Tower.
A Dark Demon General in the late stage of the Lower Earthly Sovereign realm was annihilated, becoming nourishment for the growth of the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower and its eight demon statues.
Lin Langtian raised his hand and withdrew the eight demonic statues, whose light had become slightly more subdued but whose aura was clearly more profound and terrifying. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Behind them, the human survivors, protected by the Xuanhuang protective shield and who had witnessed the entire process, were so shocked that they were speechless, left only with boundless awe and reverence, as if they were gazing upon a god walking among the earth… (End of this chapter)
