His voice was filled with stubbornness and unyielding spirit, his eyes burning with a mad flame.
Qian Renshang was still trying frantically, tears streaming down his face, like a madman.
His hands were constantly forming hand seals, his soul power surging wildly, trying to forcibly draw the Crimson King's soul into his own martial soul.
"Uncle Crimson, wake up, wake up!"
Qian Renshang's voice was already hoarse, filled with endless pleading.
The beast kings beside him looked at him like this, their hearts filled with sorrow. Xiong Jun couldn't help but speak again:
"Qian Renshang, give up, the Crimson King... he can't come back."
Qian Renshang seemed not to hear, still immersed in his own world, desperately trying.
Bi Ji and the other beast kings couldn't bear to watch any longer and stopped Qian Renshang.
He was already injured, and further unrestrained use of his spiritual power would kill him!
Qian Renshang struggled desperately, trying to break free from the beast kings' hold.
"Let me go! I have to save Uncle Chi! I must save him!"
His voice was filled with despair and determination.
Xiong Jun held Qian Renshang tightly, shouting,
"Calm down! You'll die too if you keep going like this!"
Qian Renshang's eyes were bloodshot.
"I don't care! Uncle Chi became like this to save me.
I can't just watch him die!"
His voice was filled with resolve and pain.
Bi Ji's eyes were filled with tears.
"We all understand your feelings, but acting rashly will not only fail to save King Chi, but will also put everyone in greater danger."
Wan Yao Wang also advised,
"Qian Renshang, as long as we're alive, we can always fight again. Let's plan this carefully."
Qian Renshang gradually stopped struggling, his body slumped down, his expression flickering between light and shadow, then he burst into maniacal laughter, as if possessed.
"Haha...haha..."
The laughter was filled with despair and pain, heartbreaking to hear.
Finally, after a long period of intense emotional fluctuations and energy release, Qian Renshang seemed to have lost all his strength and stopped numbly.
He stood there silently, staring blankly at the Crimson King before him, like a statue.
Xiong Jun, who had been anxiously watching the situation unfold, breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Qian Renshang might have finally calmed down.
After all, the madness and rage Qian Renshang had displayed earlier were truly chilling.
However, just as Xiong Jun relaxed his guard, a sudden change occurred!
The twelve-winged Fallen Angel martial soul behind Qian Renshang suddenly began to tremble violently, then rapidly grew stronger at a visible speed.
An extremely dense dark power surged from its martial soul, like a black torrent, spreading rapidly and almost completely enveloping the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a sudden change, Xiong Jun's face turned deathly pale.
He cried out in terror, "Qian Renshang, what are you doing? Stop!" His voice was filled with shock and fear.
This dark power even made him feel threatened, considering he, Xiong Jun, possessed the strength of a level 99 Peerless Douluo!
However, Qian Renshang was already trapped in an inescapable state, ignoring Xiong Jun's cries.
On the contrary, the dark power within him surged even more violently, like a runaway beast, roaring and ravaging unchecked.
As this dark power intensified, the surrounding air seemed to be affected, becoming increasingly heavy and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on one's heart.
Bi Ji, standing beside him, was equally anxious. She cried out worriedly,
"Oh no! Such powerful dark power! If this continues, Qian Renshang will likely be devoured by this terrifying power, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"
With that, she tried to rush forward to stop Qian Renshang, but after taking only a few steps, she was forcefully repelled by the terrifyingly powerful dark power.
At the same time, the Demon King realized the gravity of the situation.
His brow furrowed, and he tried to use his supernatural powers to get closer to Qian Renshang so he could help.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the powerful dark force remained like an impenetrable wall, firmly blocking him and preventing him from getting any closer.
Simultaneously, a voice began to echo in Qian Renshang's mind,
"Do you want power?"
The voice possessed a bewitching power!
Qian Renshang's eyes instantly became dazed, and he murmured, "Power... I need power... Give me power!"
Xiong Jun and the others outside were extremely anxious, but helpless, and could only shout loudly to try to wake Qian Renshang.
However, Qian Renshang seemed completely captivated by the voice's allure, ignoring Xiong Jun's cries.
The mysterious voice continued in Qian Renshang's mind:
"If you agree to my request, I will grant you boundless power, enough for you to take revenge, enough to save everything you wish to save."
A struggle appeared on Qian Renshang's face, partly due to the desire for unknown power, and partly due to a sliver of clarity deep within his heart resisting this temptation.
"Who are you?"
Qian Renshang asked inwardly, and the voice laughed maniacally upon hearing this question!
"Come to my world, and I'll show you who I am!"
"Hahaha..."
Qian Renshang's soul was almost instantly pulled into a mysterious space, a world seemingly swallowed by endless darkness, thick as ink and filled with a nauseating stench of blood.
All around was deathly silence, devoid of any sign of life.
The ground beneath his feet seemed stained with blood, displaying an eerie dark red hue; each step left a deep bloodstain.
The sounds of ghostly wails echoed in his ears, sharp and shrill, like the agonizing screams of countless tormented souls, piercing his eardrums and sending chills down his spine.
In the distance, billowing black mist swirled, flickering with eerie light, as if concealing countless prying eyes.
At the edge of his vision stood a throne covered in thorns, towering into the clouds, its surface covered in sharp thorns, each thorn dripping with black liquid, exuding the stench of decay and death.
Beneath the throne, a mountain of white bones emitted a ghastly pale light.
These bones, twisted in shape, seemed to tell of the immense suffering they had endured in life.
Qian Renshang gazed at all this, his expression utterly calm!
Just as he approached the throne, he discovered a dark figure seated upon it.
The figure was shrouded in thick darkness, its face completely obscured, yet it exuded a chillingly powerful aura.
"You've finally come," the dark figure's voice seemed to echo from the deepest abyss, carrying endless coldness.
Qian Renshang asked expressionlessly,
"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
The figure on the throne remained hidden in the darkness.
As Qian Renshang struggled to make out its form, a suffocating sense of oppression washed over him.
"You may call me the Fallen Angel Lucifer!"
