Chapter 919 The Great Demon
The dark, demonic aura spread wildly in all directions, and within the heart of the Yuan Gate, heart-wrenching, shrill screams resounded.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the corpses of the fallen Yuanmen disciples suddenly exploded out of thin air, with the splattered flesh and blood carrying a dense and overwhelming demonic energy, churning and drifting wildly between heaven and earth.
A dull, deafening roar erupted, accompanied by a rampage of demonic energy that swept across the land. The ground beneath their feet trembled violently, cracking and collapsing inch by inch.
Thick, chilling demonic energy surged continuously from the fissures in the ground. Deep within the billowing black mist, a terrifying and malevolent being seemed to be slowly breaking free from its confinement and emerging from the earth, following the earth's veins.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world was submerged, completely transformed into a vast, desolate ocean of demonic energy.
In the forbidden area behind Yuanmen Mountain, the origin of the Black Lake, three gloomy figures slowly emerged from the black mist.
These were the three giants of the Yuan Sect who had fled in panic earlier: Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi, and Ren Yuanzi.
The three were already severely injured and their energy was waning, but now they were completely enveloped in cold black energy, and their injuries were miraculously healed. Their aura was evil and violent, their faces were twisted and ferocious, and they were filled with boundless hatred.
"You Dao Sect disciples, how dare you set foot on my Yuan Sect's territory and slaughter my sect's disciples! Today, you will all pay the price in blood!"
As the leader of the three giants, Tian Yuanzi roared angrily, his hoarse shout echoing across the land. A sinister black light flashed in the eyes of the three of them, and their ten fingers quickly interlaced to form a strange demonic seal. In an instant, the dark demonic light shot into the sky.
In an instant, countless hideous and terrifying demonic shadows tore through the earth, roaring and howling as they surged out of the ground and charged towards the crowd with overwhelming force.
"What exactly is that?"
Upon seeing this, the powerful figures from all sides couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
As the demonic energy surged and rose, countless eerie figures slowly rose from the black mist, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
As everyone stared intently, they saw that although these figures vaguely resembled human figures, their bodies were exceptionally robust and muscular, their bodies broken and damaged, and their appearance full of scars. The overwhelming evil and ferocity they exuded already revealed their strange origins.
"It's an Otherworldly Demon!"
Someone's face turned solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice. No one had expected that such a large number of demonic forces were secretly hidden deep underground in the Yuan Sect. At this point, the overwhelming evidence of the Yuan Sect's collusion with the demonic forces was already clear and there was no room for further refutation.
"No, these are not living things, they are all the remains and corpses of otherworldly demons!"
Those with keen eyes quickly noticed the anomaly and spoke up to warn, "It must be the remains of a demon that has long since perished, now forcibly controlled and driven by the three giants of the Yuan Sect using evil secret techniques."
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that the eyes of these demonic skeletons were empty and lifeless, lacking any independent intelligence. Only a bloodthirsty and violent intent surged within them, making them ferocious corpse puppets that were manipulated and only knew how to fight.
"Everyone must be extra vigilant!"
Someone, their expression tense, warned in a low voice, "Although these demonic corpses are no longer at their peak fighting strength, they are numerous and ferocious, so we must not let our guard down. Once we are surrounded, with our cultivation levels, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to escape unscathed!"
With this thought in mind, everyone present raised their heads and looked up at the tall and handsome figure in the sky.
Everyone secretly hoped that this top expert with unfathomable background and extraordinary origins would step in to protect them, stabilize the situation, and work together to overcome the current perilous crisis.
As if receiving orders from the three giants of the Yuan Sect, the countless demonic corpses suddenly erupted with scarlet, bloodthirsty light from their empty eye sockets, and unleashed deafening, soul-ripping roars of fury.
Tens of thousands of hideous corpses leaped into the air, densely packed and overwhelming, swarming towards Xiao Ling and his group like a black locust swarm that blotted out the sun. They carried with them a putrid and pungent demonic aura and a murderous aura that could destroy the world, almost completely obscuring the sky.
A fierce wind, carrying a biting chill, rushed straight to everyone's faces, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze and stagnate under its overwhelming ferocity.
At this critical moment, the ancestral stone hanging in front of Xiao Ling suddenly burst forth with a dazzling, pure light. Its boundless purifying power, capable of vanquishing all evil spirits, poured down like the blazing sun, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.
This purifying divine light is the natural nemesis of demonic energy. Wherever the light reaches, the demonic corpses that were just moments ago raging with ferocity instantly feel as if they have touched scorching flames. The dark demonic energy around them emits a sizzling, mournful sound of melting, and the bones as hard as iron crack inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes.
A holy light swept across, and the overwhelming demonic corpses, without any power to resist, collapsed under the cleansing power. Their flesh, bones, and the evil demonic energy attached to them were all burned away, turning into specks of ethereal dust that dissipated into the world.
In the blink of an eye, the horde of demonic corpses that had just blotted out the sky was mostly destroyed by the divine light of the ancestral stone.
Watching the Ancestral Stone unleash its divine power in mid-air, effortlessly destroying the demonic corpse, Ying Huanhuan's eyes lit up with approval. She nodded slightly and smiled as she spoke.
"That's more like it. As a top-tier ancient divine object, it should naturally have such an aura of looking down on evil spirits. The Ancestral Stone is truly amazing."
Ling Qingzhu beside her nodded slightly, her cool voice responding calmly: "What you say is absolutely right. The purifying power of the Ancestral Stone is the natural nemesis of the demonic energy of the alien demons. It is very effective in dealing with this wave of alien demon corpses. It truly deserves to be the second most precious treasure on the list of ancient divine artifacts."
The ancient stele hanging to one side heard the entire conversation between the two girls. Seeing the two girls praising their old friend, the stele trembled slightly and a sense of resentment rose in its heart.
A muffled, aged voice immediately rang out, its tone tinged with a stubborn, awkward tone.
"Hmph, this guy is only relying on his fully recovered origin and peak condition. Once my cultivation foundation is fully restored and I return to my peak, my power will be no weaker than his!"
It should be noted that when the ancient divine artifacts were ravaged, the Ancestral Stone was one of the most severely damaged among all the treasures, its origin shattered and its spirit dormant.
In contrast, the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele, even though it was severely damaged, still retained the residual power to suppress the Demon King, and its consciousness never dissipated.
But now, thanks to Xiao Ling's nourishment of his essence, the Ancestral Stone has fully recovered, its power surpassing even its former glory, making it the center of attention. In contrast, he himself remains in the recovery phase, the gap widening ever wider. Thinking of this, even the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness, its heart filled with envy and regret. It wished it could have met Xiao Ling earlier than the Ancestral Stone, received the nourishment of his essence sooner, returned to its peak, and displayed its divine power in such a setting, instead of just standing by and making sour, defiant remarks.
The divine light of the Ancestral Stone swept across, burning and purifying all the miscellaneous soldiers and demonic corpses that rushed towards them. However, before everyone could catch their breath, an even more violent tremor and cracking came from the depths of the earth. A continuous stream of ferocious demonic corpses broke through the earth's layers and swept over madly.
roar--!!
A terrifying, soul-shaking demonic roar suddenly exploded, and several condensed, almost tangible, towering demonic energies shot straight into the sky. Amidst the churning black mist, dozens of gaunt demonic figures suddenly darted out.
These demonic figures were not particularly large, but the demonic energy surrounding them was far more intense and violent than that of ordinary demonic corpses, with a chilling aura that swept across the sky.
It is obvious that these demonic corpses were all genuine demon generals in life, which, if converted to human realm, would make them powerful Reincarnation Realm experts capable of dominating a region.
Among these dozens of demonic corpses, six particularly conspicuous demonic figures stood out.
Unlike the surrounding mangled corpses, their demonic bodies were exceptionally well-preserved, without the slightest damage.
Within their hollow eye sockets, malevolent demonic energy surged wildly, and a faint, terrifying pressure emanating from their bloodline emanated from them. Even as controlled corpse puppets, their intimidating aura had not dissipated. These six demonic figures were very likely once powerful demon kings who dominated a region!
At that moment, the viscous, ink-like ocean of demonic energy below suddenly surged with towering waves, and a magnificent demonic shadow, thousands of feet in size, slowly climbed out from the deepest part of the earth, the core source of the Yuanmen Forbidden Land.
The demonic energy was stirred up by its aura and raged wildly. As the black mist dissipated, a giant monster, as black as ink, was revealed in its true form.
It possesses four ferocious demonic arms as thick as mountains, its entire body covered with demonic scales as hard as black iron. Its head has no ordinary eyes; its entire face is split open by a gigantic maw that spans half of its face, densely packed with layers of black, sharp teeth that gleam with a cold light. The incomparably violent demonic energy is spewing out like a flood bursting its banks, corroding and slightly distorting the space in its path.
Xiao Ling's gaze remained calm and unwavering as he looked down at the colossal monster that had burst from the earth below. He raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a detached tone.
"The Supreme Demon, along with the long-sealed corpse of the Otherworldly Demon King, the Yuan Sect has certainly hidden itself well. Judging from this, the three of you intend to completely merge with the Supreme Demon, willingly falling into demonic possession, even abandoning your human identities?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic energy below surged and tangled wildly, and the three figures of Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi, and Ren Yuanzi instantly dissolved into the black mist.
The next second, above the monstrous maw that spanned half of the Tai Tian Demon's face, demonic energy surged and gathered violently, and three distorted human faces slowly coalesced, locking onto Xiao Ling in the sky.
A distorted, shrill laugh echoed through the heavens and earth, filled with chilling madness and venom: "Whoever can wield supreme power can become the master of heaven and earth! What difference does it make whether one is human or demon? Today, I will show you what true terror is!"
Seeing the three giants of the Yuan Sect become extremely arrogant and insane after merging with the Tai Tian Demon, the powerful onlookers who were unaware of the inside story and could only feel the awe-inspiring power of the demon all turned pale and looked terrified. They subconsciously retreated one after another, afraid of being affected by the aftershocks of this earth-shattering battle.
On the other hand, Ling Qingzhu, Ying Huanhuan and their group already knew Xiao Ling's unfathomable true strength. Seeing the three giants' arrogant and overconfident appearance, they couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly. There was no fear in their eyes, but rather a calm indifference as if watching a show.
Even the Ancestral Stone, which had previously displayed its might, slowly withdrew its all-encompassing purifying divine light. Its lustrous white and warm stone body trembled slightly, and the spirit of the Ancestral Stone manifested itself, quietly hovering to one side, clearly intending to stand aside and wait for the show to begin.
"I'm curious whether you're just ignorant and fearless, or if you genuinely have some inexplicable confidence in your meager strength."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant indifference.
"Many years have passed, and no one has dared to utter such arrogant words in front of me."
He gently shook his head, the last vestige of amusement in his eyes completely vanished, and his voice, though calm, carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I was originally going to keep you occupied for a while, but now it seems I have no interest whatsoever. Let's finish this quickly so as not to waste each other's time. I don't have the extra energy to waste with you all."
"Crimson Soul, Phoenix Calamity".
Xiao Ling let out a clear, soft murmur. Before he finished speaking, the vast fire-attribute energy in the entire world seemed to be summoned and surged wildly towards him.
The blazing golden-red flames tore through the demonic gloom, and in an instant, they condensed into a fiery phoenix with wings that stretched a thousand feet and feathers that were lifelike.
The divine phoenix was enveloped in the Nirvana Flame, which burned away all evil. Every feather was burning with brilliant light. A clear and resounding phoenix cry resounded, and the sound waves directly crushed the surrounding churning demonic energy.
With a flick of Xiao Ling's finger, the thousand-foot-long Fire Phoenix spread its wings, carrying a violent power that could burn the heavens and destroy the earth. Like a fallen sun, it swooped down directly towards the Tai Tian Demon who had merged with the three giants below, as well as the six corpses of the alien demon kings!
Wherever it passed, space was violently distorted by the high temperature, and all the demonic energy in the sky was burned away by the true fire, leaving only a blazing fire mark that stretched across the sky and earth.
"Impossible! Such terrifying power... how is this possible!"
On the massive demonic body of the Tai Tian Demon, the three human faces formed by the three giants of the Yuan Sect suddenly changed their expressions when they sensed the violent true fire that burned through the sky and crushed souls. Their pupils shrank, and their faces were filled with disbelief, horror, and deep-seated fear.
But Xiao Ling's deadly momentum left them no room for fear, screaming, struggling, or resisting.
The thousand-foot-long fiery phoenix, carrying the Nirvana True Fire that burns away all evil, swooped down in an instant, and the blazing golden-red flames exploded, the terrifying fire wave sweeping in all directions like a tsunami.
Wherever the Divine Phoenix True Fire touched, the six corpses of the Demon Kings, who had once been powerful and influential in their lifetimes, were instantly incinerated into nothingness along with the condensed demonic energy around them, without even a trace of bone or blood remaining.
The dozens of demonic generals' corpse puppets were like ants, instantly melted away under the cleansing of the true fire, without even the slightest power to resist.
The next second, the Flame Phoenix crashed straight into the massive demonic body of the Heavenly Demon!
The earth-shattering true fire raged wildly along the demon's body, and in an instant, it completely ignited the entire Tai Tian Demon from the inside out.
The face formed by the fusion of the three giants let out a heart-wrenching, desperate wail, but the sound only lasted for a moment before it was completely burned away by the boundless true fire, along with the demonic body and soul. Not even a trace of demonic energy or a wisp of remnant soul remained; it was utterly annihilated.
In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant and domineering Tai Tian Demon, the corpse of the Demon King, and all the demon generals' corpse puppets were instantly killed and purified, leaving not a trace behind. (End of this chapter)
