Chapter 930
Slaying the Demon Lord, Evolution of the Demon Puppet
Golden light surged forth like a tide, illuminating the entire main hall as bright as day.
At this moment, the Undying King did not seem to be a remnant soul. His golden figure was as majestic as a mountain, as if ten thousand years had not left any trace on him.
Upon seeing the Immortal King appear, the despair in the eyes of the many powerful figures in the hall was instantly replaced by hope.
The Undying King, a renowned Heavenly Sovereign from ancient times!
His appearance means there's hope!
Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the imposing golden figure; it seemed he no longer needed to risk his life.
As the crowd cheered, the Devouring Demon Lord's sixteen eyes were filled with terror, and he roared angrily, "Undying King, you're still alive! Very well, today, I will personally avenge the grudges of that year!"
As soon as it finished speaking, it roared madly, and a monstrous evil aura surged out like a tsunami, sweeping towards the Undying King!
Although the Undying King was powerful, the Devouring Demon Lord could see that the former was nothing more than a remnant soul at this moment.
Now that they've faced off again, it's still too early to tell who will win!
"Ten thousand years ago, I could suppress you, and ten thousand years later, I can do the same!" The Undying King snorted coldly upon seeing this, but at this moment, he suddenly looked at Lin Langtian and said calmly under the latter's surprised gaze.
"I'll borrow your body for a bit."
The voice paused, and a hint of... apology appeared in its tone.
"It might hurt a little."
As soon as he finished speaking, the remnant soul of the Undying King suddenly swept to the top of Lin Langtian's head and then entered the latter's body.
boom!
In an instant, Lin Langtian's power began to surge dramatically.
The surge in spiritual power was not a trickle, but a flood.
Lin Langtian felt the 'door' in his Supreme Sea being completely pushed open, and the ocean of spiritual energy behind the door poured out, washing over his entire body with overwhelming force.
His meridians were stretched to their limit in that instant—no, they ruptured.
Countless tiny cracks spread across the walls of his meridians, and spiritual energy seeped out from the cracks, flowing into his muscles, bones, and even skin, as if it were giving his entire body a complete transformation from the inside out.
His bones were making a cracking sound, not breaking, but growing.
Fine golden patterns appeared on each bone, as if someone had drawn some ancient runes on them with the finest brush.
The supreme ruler of the land.
Half-step to Great Perfection.
The Great Perfection of the Earthly Supreme.
...A half-step Heavenly Supreme!
The power paused for a moment before reaching the threshold of the half-step Heavenly Supreme realm, as if hesitating about something.
A moment later, the power slowly receded, like a giant withdrawing the step he was about to take.
"Let's reach the Half-Step Heavenly Supreme realm first..." The Undying King's voice murmured to Lin Langtian in his mind, tinged with a hint of regret.
"Although this body has a good physique, it's bad to get fat in one bite. A half-step Heavenly Supreme is enough to deal with the Devouring Demon Lord."
Although the Devouring Demon Lord was a Heavenly Sovereign at his peak, he was sealed for ten thousand years, and his current strength is probably not even as great as the remnant soul of the Undying King at this time.
Lin Langtian opened his eyes.
Those eyes, which had shifted between gold and black, were now eerily calm, like the surface of the sea after a storm—calm and still, but you knew that beneath the surface lay a bottomless abyss.
He clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
"It's passable."
He said calmly, then turned around. At the same time, the Undying Heaven-Opening Axe, as if it had met its true master, suddenly began to hum, and then with a boom, a sound of wind breaking rang out.
The Undying Heaven-Opening Axe steadily swept into Lin Langtian's hand.
"Good buddy, after ten thousand years, we fight side by side again." Lin Langtian said with a look of nostalgia as he stroked the golden battle axe in his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian slashed down!
A golden axe light ripped through the void, and wherever it passed, the evil aura that filled the sky vanished instantly, like thin snow meeting the blazing sun!
The axe light, still powerful, slammed down on the massive body of the Devouring Demon Lord!
"what!"
The Devouring Demon Lord let out a shrill scream as a deep, bone-revealing wound was cleaved open on its indestructible demonic body!
Black, evil blood gushed out like a waterfall, splashing onto the ground and corroding deep pits!
"Impossible! You are just a remnant soul, how could you possibly have such power!" The Devouring Demon Lord roared madly, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
Lin Langtian smiled faintly: "Although I am dead, my will remains. I have suppressed you, this demon, for ten thousand years. The power of this remnant soul is indeed almost gone, but it is enough to kill you."
He took a step forward, his figure as fast as lightning, and reappeared above the Devouring Demon Lord!
The Heaven-Opening Axe was raised high above his head, its golden light as dazzling as the sun!
"No!" The Devouring Demon Lord waved all sixteen arms at the same time, and the overwhelming evil energy transformed into a huge black barrier in front of him!
However, before that golden axe light, the barrier shattered instantly, like paper!
"This axe blow is for the billions of lives lost at your hands ten thousand years ago!"
Axe falls!
The Demon Lord of Devouring Heaven severed all four of his arms at the root!
"This axe strike is for the destiny of heaven and earth that has been suppressed for ten thousand years!"
Fall again!
Four more arms were severed! "This axe blow is for my ten thousand years of waiting!"
The third axe blow landed!
Of the eight heads of the Devouring Demon Lord, three were shattered!
Black, evil blood poured down like a torrential rain!
"The final blow will send you on your way!"
The Undying King gripped the axe with both hands, and the golden light condensed to its extreme, making the axe seem to transform into a golden sun!
If this axe were to fall, the Devouring Demon Lord would surely be annihilated, body and soul!
However, at that moment...
"Senior, wait!"
A faint yet firm voice rang out from within Lin Langtian's body.
The Undying King paused slightly, and the Heaven-Opening Axe, which was about to fall, hung in mid-air.
He looked down at his own body, or more precisely, at the physical body he was possessing—Lin Langtian's physical body.
At this moment, Lin Langtian's consciousness is awakening.
When the remnant soul of the Undying King possessed him just now, his consciousness was temporarily suppressed, and he could only watch everything from the perspective of an observer.
However, the Undying King did not erase his consciousness, but merely borrowed his body temporarily.
At this moment, sensing that the Devouring Demon Lord was about to be completely destroyed, Lin Langtian's consciousness struggled desperately and finally regained a sliver of control.
"Little guy, what do you want to say?" The voice of the Undying King resounded in his mind, with a hint of surprise.
Lin Langtian said urgently, "Senior, the evil energy of this Devouring Demon Lord is extremely pure. It would be such a pity if it were to dissipate like this!"
"This junior possesses a sacred artifact called the Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Tower, which can refine demonic energy for my own use! I humbly request that you allow me to take control of my body, so that the tower can absorb the demonic energy of this fiend!"
The Undying King was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Interesting. Do you have eight demonic puppets in your tower?"
Lin Langtian was taken aback: "How did you know, senior?"
"Though I am dead, my eyesight remains. The eight demonic puppets in your tower share the same origin as you, and must have been nurtured by the demonic energy of the extraterrestrial evil races," said the Undying King.
"Very well, it would be a pity if the evil aura of this demon were to dissipate in vain. If you can refine it, it would be a good use of it. However, the demon's core must be completely destroyed, otherwise it will eventually be resurrected."
"Thank you very much, senior!" Lin Langtian was overjoyed.
The remnant soul of the Undying King slowly withdrew its power, returning control of the body to Lin Langtian.
The golden light gradually dimmed, and in its place, Lin Langtian's own dark golden light shone.
The Devouring Demon Lord, who had been in despair, felt hope rekindle in his eyes as he sensed the Immortal King's aura fading: "Hahahaha! Immortal King, your power has finally been exhausted! It seems even the heavens won't let you kill me!"
However, its smile froze the next moment.
Lin Langtian opened his eyes, his pupils filled with a mixture of golden and dark yellow light.
Holding the Heaven-Opening Axe, Lin Langtian had regained control of his body, but the power of the Undying King had not diminished. At this moment, Lin Langtian was also briefly experiencing what it felt like to be a Heavenly Supreme.
"Who said it has to be the Undying King to kill you?"
Lin Langtian gave a cold shout, raised his left hand, and a pitch-black ancient tower slowly emerged in his palm—the Qiankun Demon Suppressing Tower!
The tower is ancient and simple, yet it exudes a vast and oppressive aura that suppresses everything.
The next moment, Lin Langtian poured the terrifying spiritual power within his body into the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower like a tsunami.
In an instant, the bottom of the tower opened up, and a terrifying suction force burst out, enveloping the heavily injured Devouring Demon Lord!
"This is..." The Devouring Demon Lord was horrified to discover that the evil energy within his body was being frantically drawn out by the ancient tower!
"No! No! You can't do this! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
It struggled frantically, trying to self-destruct its demonic core and perish together with Lin Langtian!
However, although the remnant soul of the Undying King had been contained, it had not dissipated.
A golden light shot out from between Lin Langtian's eyebrows, transforming into a giant golden hand that gripped the Demon Lord's core tightly!
"I have said it before, you extraterrestrial demons must be destroyed."
"Crack!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the jet-black magic core was crushed to pieces by the golden hand!
The Devouring Demon Lord let out a desperate wail, and his massive body instantly lost all its power, no longer able to resist the suction force of the Qiankun Demon Suppressing Tower!
"boom!"
The overwhelming black evil energy surged into the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower like a flood bursting its banks!
The tower trembled violently, emitting a deep hum!
Inside the tower, on the tower wall, eight demonic puppets awoke simultaneously, opening their enormous mouths to greedily devour the purest evil energy!
The Devouring Demon Lord is a powerful extraterrestrial evil race expert comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign. His evil energy is like a sacred medicine to the Eight Demon Puppets!
It is unknown how much time has passed, but the Flame Demon Form was the first to transform. The burning flames of the annihilation demonic flames that engulfed its entire body changed from crimson gold to dark gold, and the temperature increased by more than ten times!
Its aura broke through from the lower-level Earthly Sovereign to the early stage of the lower-level Earthly Sovereign in one fell swoop, and then continued to climb to the middle, late and peak stages of the lower level!
Until, the supreme ruler of the highest realm!
The Ice Demon Form followed closely behind, the azure ice crystals turning dark blue, the cold air condensing into a solid ice armor, and its aura also breaking through to the Upper Earthly Sovereign level!
Withered Demon Form, Blood Demon Form... one after another, the eight demon puppets completed their transformations!
When the last trace of evil energy was completely absorbed by the Qiankun Demon Suppression Tower, the eight demon puppets simultaneously roared to the sky!
"Roar!"
The terrifying pressure of the eight supreme beings was like eight pillars supporting the sky, soaring into the heavens and piercing the clouds!
Although they are only at the early stage of Upper Earthly Sovereign, the eight of them share the same origin and their auras are connected. When they cooperate with each other, the combat power they can unleash is enough to make any Upper Earthly Sovereign tremble with fear!
It could even pose a threat to a powerhouse at the half-step Great Perfection stage!
Lin Langtian sensed the changes inside the tower, and an overwhelming joy welled up in his heart.
But his face remained calm and composed, revealing nothing.
This was his trump card, a trump card powerful enough to turn the tide! (End of Chapter)
