Chapter 634: Great Heavenly Evil Demon vs Golden Dragon Kun
Seeing the dragon horns and kun wings surging around Lin Langtian, Heaven Illusion King could not help but give him a long, probing look.
At this moment, the pressure Lin Langtian emitted made even him feel a heavy weight.
Heaven Illusion King only snorted coldly, then stopped wasting words. His hands clenched, and a sinister, overwhelming demonic aura erupted from his body.
Demonic qi billowed out as the temperature of heaven and earth plummeted into icy cold.
Boom!
As the air chilled, Heaven Illusion King suddenly stomped his foot. The world shuddered, and ghostly howls seemed to echo from within the surging demonic qi.
Cracks split the air, and Heaven Illusion King's figure turned into a blur as he shot forth.
His speed was so great the naked eye could barely track it. In an instant, he appeared to Lin Langtian's right. His fingers curled together like demonic talons as frigid demonic qi gathered at his fingertips, staining them pitch‑black.
A thin thread of black demonic qi danced at his fingertips, and when it shot forth, the raging force was so intense that even space itself twisted under the shock.
From the very first strike, Heaven Illusion King showed no intention of holding back. This one demonic finger could severely injure not only ordinary Reincarnation Stage experts, but even those at the threshold of Samsara.
The jet‑black fingers appeared as nothing but an afterimage in Lin Langtian's dark eyes. The next instant, his own fingers pressed together and thrust forward without hesitation.
As his fingers stabbed out, golden light rippled across his skin. Faintly, dragon roars and kun cries echoed.
A Dragon Kun pattern surfaced upon his fingers, blazing with golden radiance.
"Dragon Kun Physique—Dragon Kun Pattern!"
His golden fingers, like forged divine metal, pierced the void and collided head‑on with the black demonic light.
The impact unleashed a violent shockwave. The ground beneath them collapsed instantly, sinking lower and lower until a ten‑thousand‑zhang‑wide crater had formed.
At the moment of contact, Heaven Illusion King's cold, mocking eyes narrowed. The power surging from Lin Langtian's strike was far greater than expected.
Moreover, Lin Langtian's fingers were much tougher than he had imagined. As an Otherworldly Demon King, Heaven Illusion King's own fingers were sharper than most divine artifacts.
Even experts who specialized in tempering their physical bodies could rarely meet him in such a direct clash.
"What a formidable body. But this king does not believe your body can compare to mine!"
His pale face twisted into something even more sinister as he snorted. His fingers blurred, transforming into a storm of shadowy strikes that enveloped all of Lin Langtian's vital points. Each demonic afterimage pierced the air with a sharp sonic boom.
Swish! Swish!
But as the onslaught intensified, Lin Langtian matched him blow for blow. Golden light surged as his finger shadows spread in a dense flurry, meeting every incoming demonic strike.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Finger shadows collided again and again. Explosive ripples flared as the storm of force carved deep gouges into the ground below.
Heaven Illusion King's scars were chillingly sinister. Corrosive demonic qi lingered within them, and the stone where they passed showed signs of melting.
Lin Langtian's marks, on the other hand, were flawlessly smooth, sharp and clean as if carved into tofu.
Thud!
When the last afterimage collided, a brutal shockwave blasted both figures apart.
Lin Langtian slid back tens of zhang with his feet scraping across the ground before finally steadying himself with a faintly grim expression. Across from him, Heaven Illusion King's brows knit tightly together.
"No wonder you're so arrogant. You really do have some skill."
Heaven Illusion King slowly raised his hand. On the back of it, faint blood marks appeared. With a shake, black demonic qi surged and the wounds vanished, revealing the astounding vitality of an Otherworldly Demon King.
Lin Langtian merely smiled. A few drops of blood had fallen from his own fingertips, but when golden light flowed, every trace of blood vanished completely.
The recovery of his Dragon Kun Physique was no weaker than that of his opponent.
By drawing on that power, he had managed to withstand Heaven Illusion King's ruthless flurry. Even so, he remained extremely cautious—after all, he was facing an Otherworldly Demon King, an opponent on par with Samsara Stage experts.
Such a foe was on a completely different level from Hao Jiuyou.
Heaven Illusion King stared at Lin Langtian with narrowed eyes. Any trace of contempt that once lingered there had vanished entirely.
To contend with him at this level while still at the Reincarnation Stage… that alone proved Lin Langtian was anything but ordinary.
Though he had only been testing the waters, it was equally clear that Lin Langtian, too, had not shown his full power.
This human was definitely a grave threat.
"Interesting…"
Heaven Illusion King muttered to himself, a frigid killing intent shimmering in his eyes. Only such a monstrous human talent could compel both him and Earth Illusion King to personally ambush.
His black robe began to flutter without wind, rustling as an icy, malevolent aura surged forth from within him like an erupting volcano.
Demonic qi flooded the area, gathering behind him and gradually forming a colossal, pitch‑black silhouette several thousand zhang tall.
The massive demon shadow's body was wreathed in seething demonic qi. Its form slowly became clear. It was a gigantic demonic beast.
Its entire body was jet‑black with four enormous demonic arms. It had no eyes—only a vast maw filled with jagged black fangs. Waves of demonic qi spewed forth from its gaping mouth like a raging flood.
Heaven Illusion King flew up and landed upon the creature's body.
"This is…" Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed.
"This is the Great Heavenly Evil Demon, one of the most powerful breeds in our clan. The Demon Emperor's own steed is a Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
Mine is inferior to that, but killing a mere Reincarnation Stage brat like you is more than within its abilities." Heaven Illusion King said with a cruel smile.
"Great Heavenly Evil Demon, is it…"
Lin Langtian's face grew considerably more solemn. The power radiating from the beast was far beyond that of Hao Jiuyou and even noticeably stronger than Zhu Li's.
"Hehe, to die at the hands of a Great Heavenly Evil Demon is an honor for you." Heaven Illusion King looked at Lin Langtian as though he were already dead.
"Oh? Then let's see how strong your Great Heavenly Evil Demon really is."
Lin Langtian clenched his hand. The void twisted, and the power of space gathered around him, strands of silver light dancing within it.
Having reached the Symbol Grandmaster realm, he could now manipulate many forces of heaven and earth. With a gesture, he could stir even the power of space.
His hands flew through a series of hand seals, eventually forming a strange sign. Space trembled in response.
The power of space converged, condensing into an ancient silver rune that rested in Lin Langtian's palm.
With a flick, the rune shot out, swelling rapidly until it spanned thousands of zhang, radiating terrifying might.
"Ancient Void Talisman!"
A cold gleam flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes as he swung his hand down. The silver sigil streaked across the sky like lightning, piercing the clouds as it shot toward the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
"Evil Demon Shield!"
Facing Lin Langtian's terrifying spiritual assault, Heaven Illusion King simply sneered. Demonic qi surged and condensed before the Great Heavenly Evil Demon, forming a thousand‑zhang‑tall black shield. Ghastly demonic faces twisted upon its surface, exuding an eerie aura.
Bang bang bang!
The ancient sigil smashed into the shield a heartbeat later. Thunderous booms shook the air, and the earth beneath them cracked open again and again.
When the shockwaves faded, the black shield was covered in splitting fissures before crumbling away—but Lin Langtian's attack had still been completely intercepted.
"Your turn is over. Now it's this king's move."
Heaven Illusion King smirked. The Great Heavenly Evil Demon suddenly stomped down, its massive form exploding forward with astonishing speed. In a flash, it appeared behind Lin Langtian.
Runes etched into its massive arms shimmered as its fist, packed with annihilating power, slammed down without mercy.
Roar!
Sensing the terrifying pressure from behind, Lin Langtian answered with a dragon's roar and a kun's cry. Ferocious energy erupted from him, golden radiance surging as he clenched his fist.
He whirled and hurled a punch to meet the blow head‑on.
Boom!
The collision shattered the air. Lin Langtian's body was blasted away like a cannonball.
"Golden Kun Wing Slash!"
Yet even as he flew back, his golden kun wings beat once, bringing him to an abrupt halt.
Golden runes peeled away from the wings, forming an enormous golden kun wing above his head. With a flick of his finger, it ripped through the void as it slashed toward the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
"Begone!"
Heaven Illusion King barked. The Great Heavenly Evil Demon whirled and swung a colossal fist. Torrents of demonic qi surged forth, smashing against the descending golden wing.
With a thunderous crack, the Golden Kun Wing Slash was shattered.
Sss!
Having obliterated the golden wing, the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's massive maw yawned open. A thick, viscous beam of demonic energy shot forth like lightning, streaking toward Lin Langtian.
Just then, a vast black vortex spun into existence in front of him and swallowed the beam whole.
Boom!
But the demonic power contained in the beam was terrifying. The black vortex swelled rapidly after absorbing it, then exploded with a deafening blast.
Seeing even his devouring black hole shattered by a single attack, Lin Langtian's eyes hardened.
The Great Heavenly Evil Demon was every bit as dangerous as it seemed.
"A troublesome opponent indeed. Then… fight!"
Dazzling golden light flared around him as ancient dragon roars and kun cries once more filled the air.
His dark eyes burned with unyielding battle intent. Today, he would see whether his current strength was enough to defeat a Samsara‑level foe.
Boom boom boom!
With a furious shout, Lin Langtian pushed his power to the absolute limit. His figure became a blur of savage light as his dragon fists and kun wings poured down blow after blow on the Great Heavenly Evil Demon like a torrential storm.
The Great Heavenly Evil Demon answered his assault with shrill shrieks, demonic qi churning like a boundless sea. It met every attack head‑on.
The battle was nothing short of apocalyptic. Wherever they clashed, the land split open and space warped.
Each collision between Yuan Power and demonic qi tore up the world like a sweeping tornado. Any demonic beasts unfortunate enough to be caught in the aftermath scrambled to retreat.
Thud, thud!
Despite Lin Langtian's relentless assault, the Great Heavenly Evil Demon showed no signs of weakening. Its demonic qi remained vast and inexhaustible.
"Hahahaha! The stronger your potential, brat, the more eager this king is to kill you. Perhaps given time, even I wouldn't be your match.
"But you won't live to see that day. Today is your death knell. You have no time left to grow!"
As the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's fist sent Lin Langtian hurtling away once more, Heaven Illusion King laughed wildly, his pale face twisted into an expression of savage satisfaction.
The stronger Lin Langtian was now, the more satisfying it would be to erase him as a future threat to the Infernal Prison.
"You're getting ahead of yourself."
Lin Langtian wiped blood from the corner of his mouth. The next instant, golden radiance burst from his body.
His thousand‑zhang‑long kun wings rapidly expanded and crossed before him, hiding him from view as golden light seeped out from between their feathers.
The wings slowly unfolded again. Lin Langtian emerged, clad in a suit of golden battle armor.
Regal golden markings crept across his handsome face, and his long hair had turned into a flowing cascade of gold, gleaming in the sunlight like the mane of a Dragon Kun sovereign.
Roar!
As the Dragon Kun Golden Armor manifested, a dragon's roar and a kun's cry echoed across the sky. Golden light flared around Lin Langtian.
A massive golden Dragon Kun, ten thousand zhang long, coiled behind him. An indescribable, ancient, and pure dragon might mixed with kun pressure spread out, blanketing the world.
The Great Heavenly Evil Demon stood upon the ground, its demonic qi reaching the heavens. Above it, the golden Dragon Kun loomed.
This battlefield had descended into pure madness.
