Chapter 703: The Supreme Demonic Body's Ferocity
Dong dong!
High in the Ninth Heaven, two figures wreathed in terrifying pressure each controlled power capable of annihilating the world as they fiercely blasted into one another.
With every clash between Lin Langtian and the Demonic Emperor, the space above shattered like thin ice, collapsing at great speed.
Between heaven and earth, wild winds howled, the sky shook and the ground quaked, as if heralding the end of days.
Having advanced to the Ancestor Realm, Lin Langtian could freely command the power of heaven and earth, while the Demonic Emperor possessed endless demonic qi. Thus, even as the two of them battled frantically, neither showed the slightest sign of exhaustion.
Clang!
The Chaotic Spear condensed in Lin Langtian's hand, carrying boundless radiance as it shot forth, and then collided with lightning speed against the demonic spear in the Demonic Emperor's grip.
In that instant, the gazes of both Lin Langtian and the Demonic Emperor turned icy and razor-sharp, while chaotic radiance and demonic qi surged madly behind them.
Roar!
Behind Lin Langtian, the chaotic radiance gathered in a frenzy, transforming into a titanic Chaotic Kun Dragon tens of thousands of feet in length.
The Kun Dragon coiled and soared, raising its head to the sky with a long cry, and that mingled dragon roar and kun's call suddenly resounded through every corner of the continent.
Howl!
At the same time, an overwhelming demonic shadow also appeared behind the Demonic Emperor, no smaller than the Chaotic Kun Dragon in the slightest.
The colossal demonic figure's body was covered in countless demonic arms, and in every demonic palm rested a sinister, gigantic eye radiating a chilling, evil glow.
Boom!
The Chaotic Kun Dragon and that colossal demonic shadow charged out fiercely, and like two titans, slammed hard into each other in the Ninth Heaven.
Boom!
In an instant, an indescribable wave spread out in all directions.
Down below, the Chaotic Demon Sea abruptly erupted with towering waves reaching tens of thousands of feet, blotting out the sky as if bent on destroying heaven and earth.
Energy ripples swept out from the point of collision between the two. Both figures shuddered and retreated several hundred feet.
Every step they took caused the very space underfoot to shatter.
Even after such earth-shattering exchanges, the two still had not decided a victor.
Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan stared unblinkingly at the fierce battle between the two in the distant Ninth Heaven, their expressions incomparably grave.
"The Demonic Emperor's strength is almost the same as the Ancestor Realm. Back then, Master also fought him to an extremely bitter standstill. Precisely because the gap was so small, actually winning was incredibly difficult…" Ying Huanhuan murmured, her ice-blue eyes narrowing slightly.
The Life and Death Master hesitated for a moment before saying, "That world-shaking war dragged on for many years. In the end, Master had no choice but to burn the Samsara Wheels and seal both the Demonic Emperor and the fissure between planes."
Hearing this, Lin Dong's brows knitted even more tightly.
If it was like that then, did it mean that now, Brother Langtian would also have to burn his Samsara Wheels to seal the Demonic Emperor?
If so, even if Brother Langtian possessed the great spirit to sacrifice himself, would that not simply plunge them into the same cycle once again?
"Not necessarily. With the aid of the power of the people's prayers, Elder Langtian has mastered the number-one item on the Ancient Divine Object Roll. Perhaps he can really end this cycle," Ying Huanhuan said after a moment's thought.
"That first-ranked divine object should be the source of the Supreme Power, right?" a soft voice sounded from the side. Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, and the others turned and saw Ling Qingzhu walking over.
Hearing this, Ying Huanhuan, the Life and Death Master, the Flame Master, and the rest all gave slight nods.
They knew of the Supreme Power. Back then, Fu Zu had also let them sense it, but aside from the Ice Master, none of them had succeeded in doing so.
Even Fu Zu himself had never managed to truly grasp that source power—and now Lin Langtian had achieved what he could not.
Perhaps the calamity of the demonic invasion really could end at Lin Langtian's hands.
…
"This emperor already said that even though you have broken through to the Ancestor Realm, you are at most equal to this emperor. Back then, even Fu Zu could not do anything to this emperor, let alone you, who has just advanced to the Ancestor Realm."
Up in the Ninth Heaven, the Demonic Emperor's demonic spear gave a slight tremble, and space shattered like brittle glass. He smiled faintly as he spoke.
"Moreover, the demonic legions of my race will soon flood into this world through the fissure between planes. When that time comes, this land will ultimately still become my clan's domain."
At these words, the faces of countless experts below changed drastically, and they hastily raised their eyes to the fissure between the planes in the Ninth Heaven.
They then saw endless demonic qi surging within the fissure, and within that demonic tide seemed to be innumerable demonic silhouettes.
Lin Dong and the others also wore extremely grave expressions. Once the demonic race began a full invasion, the resulting war would be even more tragic than the previous two great battles between heaven and earth.
When that happened, the entire continent would surely pay an unimaginably heavy price.
Lin Langtian slowly raised his head, looking at the terrifying demonic qi at the fissure. Then he turned his gaze back to the Demonic Emperor, whose face was now the same as his own, and said in an even tone, "Fu Zu's failure does not mean that I will fail as well.
"Your demonic race's attempt to seize our world will only be repaid in blood."
"Tch."
At this, the Demonic Emperor gave a cold chuckle, unwilling to waste more words. His eyes fixed upon Lin Langtian.
"Judging by things as they stand, you must be this plane's final hope, yes? It seems that once you die, this world will have nothing left but despair.
"And you should have already come into contact with the Plane Seed, no? I can sense that power in you. Who would have thought that the object Fu Zu and I fought over back then would end up landing in your hands. Truly a fisherman's profit after a heron and clam struggle.
"It seems natives of this plane really do have a huge advantage. But your body also carries a power belonging to my race. I don't know how you came to master it, but that very reason means you haven't fully mastered the Plane Seed, has it not?
"So much the better. Once this emperor kills you, the Plane Seed will fall into my hands.
"With it, this emperor's power will rise to another level, and it may even elevate my status among the extraterritorial evil races to that of a great clan."
"Oh? And how, exactly, does the mighty Demonic Emperor intend to kill me?" At the Demonic Emperor's absolute certainty, Lin Langtian's lips curved slightly as he asked with a soft laugh.
"You and this emperor stand at the same level. Killing you easily is indeed no simple matter. But during the years I was sealed, this emperor was not idle. I also accounted for this worst-case scenario.
"It was precisely because I was unwilling to pay a greater price to deal with Fu Zu that he managed to turn the tables on me. This emperor will not allow such a mistake to occur a second time!
"As long as I suppress you for a thousand years, this emperor wins!"
A strange gleam flashed across the Demonic Emperor's face as he stared at Lin Langtian. Then his body suddenly began to swell madly.
In just a few breaths, under countless horrified gazes, the Demonic Emperor's form expanded into a world-treading, sky-piercing demonic giant with countless arms.
Upon those twisted demonic arms were uncountable evil eyes.
As those eyes slowly opened, a destructive, evil radiance began to leak from within them.
Bang bang bang!
An instant later, the innumerable demonic arms on that true demonic body suddenly began to explode, and thick, viscous demonic blood gushed out in dense streams.
"Primordial Demon Monument!"
A low, chilling, and incomparably evil voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.
The countless scattered evil eyes began fusing together at that moment.
In just a short span, those merged eyes in the sky transformed into an enormous, pitch-black demonic monument nearly a million feet tall.
On that demonic monument were embedded numberless evil eyes.
Every time those eyes blinked, all living beings across the continent could feel the very yuan power of heaven and earth becoming contaminated.
Buzz buzz!
Almost as soon as that colossal demonic monument finished forming, an incomparably terrifying screech erupted from the fissure between the planes.
Then, densely packed and unending demonic silhouettes streamed through from beyond the fissure.
It was the demonic race's grand army!
The scale of this force was far greater than the ancient Demonic Prison of the past by who knew how many times over.
"The demonic race really has committed their full forces this time…" Lin Dong's expression darkened as he watched, his voice heavy.
Such a colossal host far surpassed the scale of the previous two great wars between heaven and earth.
Clearly, this time the demonic race was invading the Tianxuan Continent with the strength of their entire clan!
This time, things were truly dire.
Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu, and the rest clenched their fists. Whether they admitted it or not, everyone understood that the power of the demonic race truly exceeded that of the Tianxuan Continent.
If their full army bore down upon them, it would bode extremely ill for this land.
"Offer yourselves to the monument!"
Up in the Ninth Heaven, the Demonic Emperor's cold, killing voice resounded once more.
Bang bang bang!
The instant his voice fell, countless demons who had just surged into the Tianxuan Continent let out sky-shaking howls and began to self-destruct one after another.
Thick, viscous black blood and flesh blasted outward and streamed continuously into the monument studded with evil eyes.
Buzz!
In just over ten breaths, tens of millions of demons had already exploded. At the same time, the monument's surface had been smothered in a layer of pitch-black flesh and blood.
That writhing black flesh, combined with those countless evil eyes, made for a hair-raising sight.
In that moment, a wave of evil so terrifying that even heaven and earth trembled spread slowly from within the monument.
Even Lin Dong, Ying Huanhuan, and Ling Qingzhu felt a deep, instinctive dread.
A heavy sense of foreboding surged through everyone's hearts.
Even Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly at the appearance of that terrifying monument. With a thought, the Demon Suppressing Tower shot out from him.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Suppressing Tower expanded into a million-foot giant.
Its base, like a colossal black hole, appeared right above the Demonic Emperor's head. At the same time, Lin Langtian pushed the power within his body to the very limit.
He intended to repeat what he had done when the Demonic Prison army self-destructed—seizing the chance to steal their power, swallowing it with the Eight Heavenly Demons.
Boom boom!
However, in the face of the tower's devouring force, countless evil eyes across the monument suddenly burst forth with beams of destructive demonic light.
Those beams blasted directly into the Demon Suppressing Tower, forcing it back amid a violent tremor. Demonic qi coiled thickly around it, and even the tower's surface dimmed somewhat.
"This emperor has sacrificed the true body and consumed more than half the strength of my clan—today, I will suppress you!"
Now, of the Demonic Emperor's true body, only two demonic arms remained. His demonic pupils were twisted in a savage snarl as he glared at Lin Langtian.
The price he had paid this time was such that even he would likely need to recuperate for a thousand years before he could slowly recover.
Even so, as long as he could remove Lin Langtian, his goal would be attained.
As long as he obtained the Plane Seed, he would become even more powerful. Even the throne of Demon Emperor in the higher realms was beckoning to him!
"Primordial Demon Monument, Myriad Demon Seal!"
His thunderous roar rolled across the sky like a storm of thunder.
The colossal demonic monument, nearly a million feet tall, flickered like a ghost as it instantly appeared above Lin Langtian's head.
Waves of terrifying, evil demonic light swept out, and the surrounding heaven and earth were instantly locked in place.
A giant, blood-red and evil demonic seal rapidly formed beneath the monument and then slammed viciously down toward Lin Langtian.
Down below, the Chaotic Demon Sea—spanning more than a million miles—was rent apart in that instant.
Heaven and earth cracked like broken glass, letting out a low, anguished groan under the unbearable strain.
Lin Langtian's expression turned grim as the Chaotic Spear shot forth from his hand. The Eight Great Demonic Talismans flashed into being, trailing after the Chaotic Spear like enormous dragons as they charged the descending demonic monument.
Bang bang!
Yet the instant the Chaotic Spear touched the monument, a sorrowful wail erupted from it. Its radiance dimmed and it shattered in an instant. Even the Eight Great Demonic Talismans were left dark and dull.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian's eyes hardened slightly. The Demonic Emperor had indeed spoken the truth; although he had used the Plane Seed to break through to the Ancestor Realm, the demonic power within his body had caused the Plane Seed to hold back. It had never fully submitted to him.
Otherwise, Lin Langtian could have become the Master of the Plane like Lin Dong in the original timeline and crushed the Demonic Emperor in a single stroke!
"Die!"
Up in the Ninth Heaven, seeing Lin Langtian forced back, the Demonic Emperor gave a chilling laugh, his killing intent surging.
The demonic monument shuddered violently, and a terrifying beam of demonic light erupted from it, once again lancing toward Lin Langtian as if to pierce straight through heaven and earth.
"Primordial Demon Monument, Forest of Demonic Light!"
Boom!
That world-ending beam of demonic light exploded around Lin Langtian, and in that instant, it was as if an endless demonic sea surged forth. Demonic miasma flooded heaven and earth.
The space in that region began to crack apart, and fissures spread rapidly.
Countless gazes turned in that direction.
Ling Qingzhu's pretty face blanched slightly, her delicate body trembling faintly. The people of the Tianxuan Continent also wore deathly pale faces full of fear.
As the demonic sea permeated the world, countless bolts of demonic lightning, bursts of demonic flame, demonic ice, and other elemental powers suddenly erupted from within that pitch-black ocean.
Wherever those forces of demonic lightning, flame, and ice passed, the black demonic sea was instantly vaporized. In just a few heartbeats, the demonic qi that had flooded heaven and earth vanished without a trace.
The Demonic Emperor's expression changed dramatically.
The many experts across heaven and earth seemed to sense something as well. Their eyes shook violently as they stared toward the distant sky, and countless pupils shrank to pinpoints.
There, in the firmament, a gigantic, pitch-black silhouette stood silently.
From its body, dazzling light suddenly burst forth. Eight streams of demonic radiance—demonic lightning, demonic darkness, demonic ice, demonic flame…—surged outward together.
A terrifying pressure that made all hearts quail spread over the land.
