556: What kind of emperor do you want to be?

Cheng Dezhu's eyes narrowed, and subconsciously, he intended to continue burning his Origin.

But at this very moment, with a loud boom, he felt as if his back had been struck by a mountain, sending him lunging forward.

Boom!!!

Cheng Dezhu slammed heavily into the ground.

Alongside him, covered in blood, was Xiang Tiange.

Just a moment ago, the black demonic ox had once again obtained the Bloodline Power of its kin, and because Xiang Tiange had exerted the limit of his strength, the tide had turned, causing him to be fiercely blasted away by the black demonic ox.

He happened to land right on top of Cheng Dezhu.

The two of them lay in the deep pit.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Cheng Dezhu spat out mouthfuls of blood, yet even so, he was able to mock Xiang Tiange beside him with annoyance: "And you had the nerve to call yourself an expert! Look at you now, beaten into such a... cough... such a state!"

Hearing this, Xiang Tiange struggled to straighten his body.

He was having trouble even standing up now.

His arms were bent and deformed to varying degrees; possessing the Absolute King Body, he was certainly more durable than Cheng Dezhu.

But to have ended up in this state, one could imagine how tragic the battle he had just experienced was.

Cheng Dezhu took a deep breath and blocked in front of Xiang Tiange: "A wounded man should just honestly go rest. Leave the rest to me... Pfft! Leave it to me!"

Swish!

Just then, the black demonic ox transformed back into human form, standing at the edge of the deep pit, looking down at the two of them.

"Just by relying on you two Human Race juniors, you want to block my path? Hehe... The Human Race is merely my food. Being resisted by food, I am very unhappy right now!"

"So I have decided to torture you two to death in the most painful way, and then devour you both completely!"

"Hehe..."

Hearing the other party's words, Cheng Dezhu laughed disdainfully: "Torture us? Devour us completely? You are merely an old ox; in the secular world, you would just be plowing fields for people. Where do you get the courage to spout such nonsense here?"

"And you say the Human Race is all your food. If you're so great, why didn't you eat all of the top Daoist traditions of the Human Race when you were in the outside world?"

When it came to trash-talking, Cheng Dezhu had never feared anyone.

The black demonic ox paused, then, with a ferocious expression, said: "The top Daoist traditions of the Human Race? Rest assured, in this lifetime, since I have already stepped onto this Blood Road outside the Territory, I will definitely attain the Dao in the future!"

"Once I attain the Dao, I will become the only Dominator in the Ten Thousand Domains! I will devour all of the Human Race, and even smash to pieces the ancient cities created by your Human Race sages!"

"At that time, I will be the strongest Great Emperor of all time!!!"

Originally, the expressions of Cheng Dezhu and Xiang Tiange were quite tragic, but suddenly, they saw something, and their faces were filled with strange expressions.

The black demonic ox obviously discovered the problem as well.

He looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and then noticed that their gazes seemed to be fixed on something behind him.

He turned around abruptly and discovered a young man in red robes looking at him with a smile.

"You... who are you?!"

The black demonic ox stepped back violently; he hadn't even noticed this person's aura!

Not even a trace of it.

He looked around again and realized that his hundreds of subordinates were all strangely kneeling on the ground, their bodies withered, as if they had been completely devoured by something.

Was it this person in front of him?!

How did this person manage to devour everyone without a sound?!

Just as he was looking at Lin Ye with a vigilant face, Lin Ye smiled and spoke: "What kind of Emperor did you say you wanted to become just now?"

"I want to..."

Hum...

Before he could finish speaking, a strange black aura suddenly appeared around him, and that black aura, like fog, wrapped him within it.

The next moment, with a flash of red light, a strange and enormous creature appeared before him.

"Devour him."

"Roar!!!"

The red, strange creature let out a roar, and then began a brutal, inhumane devouring.

The black demonic ox was torn to shreds, becoming pieces, and was devoured completely amidst wails. Before long, it would recover, only to be devoured again.

"Ah!!!!!!!"

The screams resounded through the universe, making the hair of countless onlookers stand on end.

They had not expected this young man, from whom they couldn't feel any aura at all, to be so terrifying.

"Who on earth is he?!"

Everyone's minds were filled with questions. They had never seen this young man in red robes before. Why was this person so terrifying? They couldn't feel his aura; could he be a Supreme, or perhaps a Great Emperor?!

Carrying such questions, those beings all hid away; they did not want to be implicated.

"Master Lin!"

Cheng Dezhu climbed out of the deep pit with an excited face.

Lin Ye walked up and lightly patted Cheng Dezhu's shoulder. He was now in the Supreme Realm, so naturally, he could see that Cheng Dezhu had burned his own Origin, sparing nothing to buy time for him.

Hearing Lin Ye's words of concern, Cheng Dezhu had a cheeky grin on his face.

Hehe... This time, I can confirm my status as the number one lackey in the Ten Thousand Domains, right?

Lin Ye reached out and grabbed something, and a black ball of light appeared in his hand. This was the Dao Fruit he had condensed after just devouring the surrounding creatures.

Hum...

Lin Ye merged the Dao Fruit into Cheng Dezhu's body.

"First, melt this power; I will be your Protector!"

"Alright! Master Lin!!!"

Cheng Dezhu quickly sat on the ground and began to refine the Dao Fruit. His Origin was being replenished, and the cultivation within his body was skyrocketing.

Swish!

Lin Ye appeared beside Xiang Tiange and took out another black Dao Fruit.

"Lin Ye, I..."

"Alright, no need to say more; we are all our own people!"

With that said, Lin Ye handed over the black Dao Fruit. Xiang Tiange nodded, then proactively merged the black Dao Fruit into his body.

Boom!!!

Purple blood energy suddenly burst forth. The deficiencies in Xiang Tiange's body were replenished, and his cultivation began to rise along with it.

Lin Ye stood at the edge of the deep pit, acting as their Protector.

Before long, Bai Lingyun appeared by his side. At this moment, Bai Lingyun had undergone some slight changes; her charm had increased to a higher level, and her appearance seemed even more beautiful and seductive.

The most crucial point was that the aura she was exhibiting was clearly that of the Supreme Realm.

She had also achieved a Breakthrough!

Lin Ye himself possessed a Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique. Bai Lingyun had proactively offered herself to heal Lin Ye's wounds, so Lin Ye naturally would not let her harm her Origin, and even gave her some opportunities.

After all, she was his own destined woman; there was no reason not to let her gain benefits.

The gaze with which Bai Lingyun looked at Lin Ye carried a hint of complexity, and her fluffy tail was also constantly wagging up and down, looking extremely cute.
