Chapter 635: The Demon‑Subduing Tower Emerges
Yuan Power surged as demonic qi howled.
A massive golden Dragon Kun coiled across the sky, releasing a terrifyingly ferocious aura from its colossal body, its eyes burning with battle intent hot enough to melt steel.
Heaven Illusion King gazed at Lin Langtian, who had transformed into a savage beast in the heavens, his expression subtly shifting. With his eyesight, he could naturally see how drastically Lin Langtian's aura had grown.
In general, when a beast revealed its true body, its combat strength would surpass that of a human of the same level—and the Northern Sea Dragon Kun Lin Langtian had become was clearly no ordinary beast.
"Stubborn fool. This king will see just what waves you think you can stir up today!"
Though Heaven Illusion King was briefly startled by Lin Langtian's aura, he quickly sneered.
His strength already exceeded Lin Langtian's by a full tier, and with the power of the Great Heavenly Evil Demon added on, turning the tables would not be so easy.
Roar!
Lin Langtian had no intention of wasting words. His golden Dragon Kun form let out a sky‑shaking roar, dragon and kun cries condensing into near‑tangible soundwaves as they rolled outward.
Swish!
The instant his roar ended, he shot forward. His titanic body seemed to tear through space itself as an enormous shadow descended upon the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
The dragon's maw opened with a snarl, unleashing a beam of golden energy that blasted straight toward the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
Within a hundred zhang of its body, walls of surging demonic qi rose up and solidified into a barrier that caught the beam completely.
Roar!
Even as the beam struck, Lin Langtian, brimming with killing intent, was already charging directly at Heaven Illusion King.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Heaven Illusion King snorted. Demonic qi surged over the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's body as storms of black power swirled around its fist before it hammered down at Lin Langtian.
Whoosh!
Before the demonic fist could land, golden light flooded the sky as a giant golden kun wing roared forth, colliding brutally with the incoming blow.
Boom!
A cold light flashed through Heaven Illusion King's eyes. Demonic qi surged more fiercely around the fist as he turned the punch into a blade.
His five fingers straightened like five razor‑sharp demonic spears, and with a surge of power they sliced through, knocking the golden wing back and continuing on toward Lin Langtian.
Roar!
As the kun wing was driven back, an ancient dragon roar rang out.
A massive golden dragon claw, covered in gleaming scales, suddenly ripped through the air and slammed into the bladelike demonic palm.
Screech.
A shrill metallic grinding noise echoed as sparks flew and violent ripples spread outward. The golden claw was forced backward bit by bit, the light upon it flickering as it resisted the invasive demonic qi.
Swish!
While the dragon claw held off the demonic strike, Lin Langtian's eyes flashed. His golden kun wings swept out again like a pair of blades, mercilessly chopping down upon one of the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's arms.
A piercing shriek tore through the air. Black blood streamed down in torrents from the wounded limb—Lin Langtian's wing slash had been vicious.
"You court death!"
Seeing the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's arm so heavily injured, Heaven Illusion King roared in fury. Under his control, the remaining demonic hand clamped down on Lin Langtian's kun wing and hurled him away.
Boom, boom!
Lin Langtian's body dragged a deep trench thousands of zhang long across the ground, smashing a mountain to rubble along the way. He finally ground to a halt, only to surge forward again an instant later, dragon eyes blazing as he launched himself back into the fray with a vicious roar.
Swish!
His thousand‑zhang kun wings beat once. Golden light flickered through their feathers, and countless golden bone spears materialized, imbuing the wings with an even more terrifying presence.
Roar!
He roared to the heavens, golden light blazing like a second sun as it vaporized the demonic qi within thousands of zhang. His enormous golden dragon claws ripped open space itself as they tore wildly at the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
A guttural snarl ripped from the Great Heavenly Evil Demon. Its demonic palms closed around surging demonic qi, forming a thousand‑zhang‑tall totem pillar of pure darkness.
With each swing of the pillar, the earth below split into countless enormous ravines.
The two colossal figures crashed into each other like two worlds colliding.
Golden kun wings beat as waves of bone spears ripped through the void in a storm of gold, while dragon claws swung with enough force to raze mountains in an instant.
Under Lin Langtian's ferocious flurry, Heaven Illusion King's Great Heavenly Evil Demon refused to back down. Every swing of the demonic pillar knocked Lin Langtian back.
In terms of raw strength, Heaven Illusion King held the advantage. But Lin Langtian's Dragon Kun Physique carried the unique power of both dragon and Kunpeng.
And his fighting style was nothing short of suicidal—every exchange was a brutal trade of injury for injury.
Consequently, though Lin Langtian's body accumulated wounds, the Great Heavenly Evil Demon was likewise riddled with injuries under his blood‑crazed assault.
Wherever their battlefield shifted, the earth collapsed and space twisted. Their fight felt like heaven and earth were coming undone.
Boom!
The black totem pillar, wreathed in dense demonic qi, swung across and smashed heavily into Lin Langtian's golden Dragon Kun form.
Pain flashed across Lin Langtian's face, but a savage glint burned in his eyes as his dragon jaws clamped down on the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's arm. With a jerk of his head, he tore open a gaping, bloody wound.
Swish!
Golden light flooded the sky as gales roared. A thousand‑zhang‑long bone spear shot out from the kun wing, piercing the air and stabbing straight into the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's chest.
Sss!
Even a Samsara‑level expert would have been run through by such a blow. Piercing the demon's armor‑like hide, however, the spear only drove in half a zhang.
Roar!
Dragon roars followed. The titanic golden dragon claw clenched into a fist and smashed down onto the spear's haft. A visible shockwave rippled through the air.
Under that bone‑shaking impact, the thousand‑zhang spear finally punched through the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's chest and erupted from its back.
Roarrr!
A wail of agony shook the heavens. Heaven Illusion King's face twisted hideously as he felt the shared pain of the Great Heavenly Evil Demon.
"You bastard, how dare you injure the Great Heavenly Evil Demon! You're dead!"
His shriek rang across the battlefield as an overwhelming tide of demonic qi erupted from the demon's body.
"We've played around long enough. Die, you little wretch!" he howled.
The Great Heavenly Evil Demon's gigantic maw yawned wide, and a terrifying vortex formed within.
An indescribably deadly demonic aura poured from its throat, thick with the stench of death.
"Great Demonic Abyss!"
Demonic qi erupted from the beast's mouth in a towering torrent. Deep within, a suffocating sense of doom churned, making onlookers' scalps crawl.
The ground shook violently as a powerful suction force blasted out of the demon's maw.
That suction was so overwhelming that even Lin Langtian's enormous body began to lift off the ground.
A black ring of light suddenly shot from the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's mouth and expanded to encompass Lin Langtian's Dragon Kun form.
Swish!
As the ring closed around him, the suction force multiplied. Lin Langtian's massive body was yanked off the ground and dragged relentlessly toward the gaping maw.
Roar!
He roared and thrashed, golden light pouring off him in torrents as he fought against the pull, but the effort was useless. He could only watch himself being drawn closer and closer to the abyssal throat.
In its depths lurked a bottomless chasm of death. A nameless dread flooded his heart.
His enormous kun wings snapped open in a violent flap as he tried to break free of the swallowing force.
But the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's totem pillar swung again, torrents of demonic qi forcing Lin Langtian back into the ring of suction.
"Hahaha! No one who falls into the Great Demonic Abyss has ever survived!" Heaven Illusion King cackled evilly.
Lin Langtian's struggles grew more frantic, but as he realized he could not break free, a strange light flashed through his dragon eyes.
With a roar, he surged forward of his own will, hurling himself into the demon's maw.
In moments, the golden Dragon Kun was swallowed whole by the vast, demonic mouth.
"Oh? So you chose death once you realized resistance was futile?"
Heaven Illusion King blinked in surprise before letting out a satisfied sneer.
To him, it looked like Lin Langtian had simply accepted his fate and chosen to die quickly.
"Heaven Illusion King, this bone is a lot tougher than you think. You might not be able to digest it."
A buzzing hum echoed, followed by Lin Langtian's mocking voice, drifting out from within.
"You really think I can't kill you inside the Great Demonic Abyss?" Heaven Illusion King's gaze turned icy.
The Great Heavenly Evil Demon's hide darkened, and an even more terrifying tide of demonic qi poured toward its insides, trying to obliterate Lin Langtian.
"Haha, however much demonic qi you send, I'll just devour it all!"
As the flood of demonic qi surged in, Lin Langtian's voice rang out again, and the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's body abruptly began to tremble. Strange streaks of black‑gold light seeped from its flesh.
"Ah!"
Seeing the black‑gold radiance, Heaven Illusion King's expression twisted in shock. Within that light, he sensed a pressure so overwhelming it made even him, a Demon King, feel insignificant.
While he gaped in disbelief, the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's body quaked violently, its massive form shuddering.
Boom!
The black‑gold glow flared. All the demonic qi in the demon's body was devoured at insane speed, like grass beneath a ravenous beast.
"You little bastard!"
Heaven Illusion King howled. Desperation edged his voice as he drove more demonic qi into the Great Heavenly Evil Demon, rumbling like thunder within its belly as waves of power slammed against Lin Langtian.
"Good. Keep it coming!"
Inside, Lin Langtian felt the endless demonic tide and sneered. His aura abruptly shifted, becoming vastly more sinister as the Demon Fetus ignited, cloaking him in the aura of a demonic god‑king.
In that state, he moved his hands through a set of seals. Black‑gold light flared around him as the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror protected him, and then he began to devour the raging demonic qi.
"You… you possess a Demon Fetus?!"
Sensing the transformation, Heaven Illusion King froze, then went pale with horror. A Demon Fetus was the hallmark of a Demon King.
How could a human possess a Demon Fetus more pure and powerful than his own?
While Heaven Illusion King stared in disbelief, the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's strength steadily waned as Lin Langtian devoured its demonic qi at astonishing speed.
Swallowing Lin Langtian had clearly been a terrible mistake. In some ways, Lin Langtian was himself a Demon King.
Against such an opponent, no matter how vast the demon's reserves were, they meant little in the face of that voracious devouring power.
Roar!
As the Great Heavenly Evil Demon's condition deteriorated, Heaven Illusion King's expression grew uglier. At last he gritted his teeth, threw his head back, and let out a piercing howl.
A streak of black light shot from the demon's maw and spread out into the shape of a man in mid‑air—it was Lin Langtian.
"Heaven Illusion King, do you finally see how tough I am?"
Having gorged himself on demonic qi, Lin Langtian was in even better shape than before. His strength had only grown.
"You wretch, I'll kill you!"
Heaven Illusion King roared in fury. He could feel how much weaker the Great Heavenly Evil Demon had become. In just a few moments, nearly half its demonic qi had been devoured.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have swallowed such a menace.
Lin Langtian watched his frenzied rage, a fierce gleam flaring in his eyes. Then, to Heaven Illusion King's astonishment, he sat down cross‑legged in mid‑air.
With a thought, a ray of black light shot from the center of his brow, streaking into the heavens.
The next instant, a massive shadow descended from the sky, engulfing Heaven Illusion King and the Great Heavenly Evil Demon beneath it.
The Demon‑Subduing Tower.
