65: Devouring Evil Monument

The stone chamber was deathly silent, with only the ancient token in his palm vibrating wildly, emitting a rapid hum!

The blurry 'Xū' character on it glowed intensely with silver light, almost flying out of his hand, as an extremely strong desire locked onto the ancient stele entwined with dark red evil patterns!

“You want to devour it?” Lin Jingyu’s eyes were sharp as knives, instantly understanding the token’s intention.

This token shared the same Origin as this ancient stele!

It wanted to devour this contaminated core, reclaim its power, or… purify it?

Almost at the same moment the token erupted!

“Buzz—!!!”

The stone stele, entwined with evil patterns, suddenly shook! Those dark red, vein-like evil patterns abruptly glowed with dazzling blood-red light!

A malicious, chaotic evil god’s will, like an enraged venomous snake, followed the invisible connection between the ancient stele and the token, fiercely counterattacking!

Attempting to contaminate and corrode the token!

“Courting death!” Lin Jingyu’s eyes turned cold, and the Heaven Burning Divine Fire in his Divine Treasury Realm heart exploded!

An invisible divine fire barrier instantly protected the token, incinerating the invading defiled evil thoughts with sizzling sounds!

However, the evil god’s will counterattacked with extreme ferocity. The evil patterns on the stone stele twisted and proliferated wildly like living things, the blood light growing stronger and stronger, even beginning to suppress the token’s silver light!

The concentration of evil Qi in the entire stone chamber rapidly increased, and even the ancient patterns on the walls began to be corroded by dark red.

Stalemate!

The token yearned to devour the ancient stele’s Origin, while the ancient stele’s evil patterns frantically counterattacked and corroded! Both sides used Lin Jingyu’s palm as a battlefield, engaging in a dangerous energy tug-of-war!

“System!” Lin Jingyu’s thoughts raced, and he instantly made a decision, “Analyze and absorb the ‘Fragmented Evil God Divinity Crystal’! Target—strengthen the token!”

[Ding! Command confirmed!]

[Detecting special item: Fragmented Evil God Divinity Crystal x1 (contains faint divine Origin)!]

[Absorbing...]

[Divine Origin being stripped... Miscellaneous Evil thoughts being purified...]

[Pure divine energy injected into target: Ancient Token (engraved with ‘Xū’ character)!]

Buzz—!!!

The token in his palm trembled violently! The brilliant silver light surged instantly, as if boiling oil had been poured into it!

The originally blurry ‘Xū’ character now became incredibly clear, with silver light flowing, as if it had come alive!

An ancient, majestic power, imbued with the fluctuations of space Origin, erupted from deep within the token!

“Roar—!” A painful and furious mental roar came from the evil patterns of the stone stele!

Wherever the token’s silver light reached, it was like scorching holy flame burning away filth!

Those wildly twisting and proliferating dark red evil patterns, as if encountering their nemesis, emitted shrill “sizzling” sounds, being forcibly purified and evaporated in large swathes by the silver light!

The silver light advanced irresistibly, piercing fiercely into the ancient stele’s body! The evil patterns entwined around the stele body shattered and disintegrated inch by inch!

The ancient and profound patterns of the stone stele itself, under the washing of the silver light, re-emitted a faint but pure luster!

“Devour! Purify!”

The token’s silver light completely enveloped the entire ancient stele!

Like a giant silver cocoon!

The ancient stele vibrated violently, with ear-splitting sounds of tearing and reassembly coming from within!

The remaining evil god’s will let out one last unwilling shriek, completely annihilated!

[Ding! Special item ‘Ancient Token’ has absorbed the core Origin of ‘Demon Sealing Ancient Stele (Evil Infected)’!]

[Token function unlocked: Elementary Spatial Anchoring!]

The silver light slowly receded, eventually completely merging into the token.

The originally unadorned ancient token now glowed with a warm, jade-like luster, and the ‘Xū’ character was as deep as the starry sky, emitting stable spatial fluctuations.

And in its original spot, the half-human-tall ancient stele had vanished without a trace, leaving only a shallow imprint on the ground.

Lin Jingyu looked down at the token in his hand. It felt warm and slightly hot, and his connection with it seemed even closer.

He could clearly perceive that the token contained an extremely stable spatial coordinate node, like a lighthouse.

[Elementary Spatial Anchoring]: Using the token as a beacon, one can, within a certain range, ignore terrain obstacles and directly lock onto the token's location for spatial travel or teleportation!

“Good stuff!” A sharp glint flashed in Lin Jingyu’s eyes.

This function was simply strategic!

Whether for pursuit, escape, or rapid transfer, it was nothing short of a divine skill!

Just as he was studying the new token’s functions, another anomaly occurred!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Void Realm space began to violently shake without warning!

Even more intensely than when the evil god’s projection appeared before!

The lead-gray sky was covered with dark cracks, like a shattered mirror!

Deep beneath the cracked earth, those dark red viscous liquids boiled and gushed wildly!

“Roar—!” “Hiss—!” “Awoo—!”

Countless roars filled with violence and Chaos echoed from all directions of the Void Realm!

Beneath the earth, within the ruins, countless demonic aurae, varying in strength but all filled with madness and bloodlust, erupted!

Like a hornet's nest that had been poked!

Having lost the suppression of the ancient stele, the entire Void Realm space, which was attached to the Demon Abyss Fissure, began to completely collapse!

The spatial structure became extremely unstable. Those relic demons, corroded by evil Qi and either dormant or wandering, were now all startled awake and plunged into utter madness!

They had only one target—the “anomaly” standing at the source of the spatial collapse, emitting surging Qi and blood—Lin Jingyu!

“Heh, poked a demon’s nest, have I?” Lin Jingyu was not surprised; instead, he revealed a grim smile, “Perfect, saves me the trouble of looking for them!”

He glanced around.

The earth was crumbling, the sky was collapsing, demon shadows were everywhere, and roars shook the heavens! A scene of apocalypse!

“System!” Lin Jingyu roared in his heart, “Consume 65,000 evolution points! Advance the Archaic God-Demon Visualization Chart to the Minor Achievement Peak Realm!”

[Ding! Consuming 65,000 evolution points!]

[Cultivation Technique Archaic God-Demon Visualization Chart (Minor Achievement) is advancing... Realm: Minor Achievement → Minor Achievement Peak!]

[Remaining evolution points: 0!]

Boom—!!!

An even more terrifying aura than before erupted from Lin Jingyu’s body!

The Void Realm behind him violently twisted, and the ten-zhang-tall divine demon dharma idol phantom solidified several times over in an instant!

With a green face and fangs, muscles bulging like divine metal, Chaos Qi Flow entwined around its body, exuding supreme majesty that suppressed all heavens!

Chaos divine light even faintly flowed in the dharma idol phantom’s eyes!

“Roar—!!!”

The divine demon dharma idol phantom roared skyward! Invisible divine demon might swept out like a tsunami!

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

Those demons that crawled out from the nearest cracks in the ground, whose aura was merely at the Marrow Cleansing Realm and Bone Forging Realm, were struck by an invisible giant hammer under the impact of this oppressive might containing the will of archaic gods and demons. Before they could even scream, their bodies instantly exploded!

Turning into a sky full of blood mist!

[Ding! Slain Marrow Cleansing Realm demon x23! Gained evolution points: 2300!]

[Ding! Slain Bone Forging Realm demon x17! Gained evolution points: 1700!]

“Ding!...”

The System notification sound instantly flooded the screen!

More demons surged from further away, among them terrifying existences emitting the aura of the Divine Treasury Realm!

They were momentarily deterred by the divine demon might, but were then thoroughly enraged by the Chaos of the spatial collapse and their instinctive bloodlust, charging forward fearlessly!

“Good, they’re here!” Lin Jingyu’s Battle Intent burned like a star in his eyes! He took a step, Shrinking the Ground to an Inch!

His figure instantly appeared above the head of a demon that had just emerged from the ground, resembling a giant pangolin, with an aura reaching Divine Treasury Realm Second Layer!

“Die!”

No fancy moves!

The huge fist of the divine demon dharma idol phantom, entwined with Chaos Qi Flow and carrying the will to crush everything, descended fiercely like a falling meteor!

“Boom—!!!”

The earth shook and mountains swayed!

That Divine Treasury Realm Second Layer demon, along with a large area of ground beneath it, was directly blasted into a bottomless giant pit by this punch!

Flesh, bones, and armor mixed with soil and shattered rocks splattered everywhere!

[Ding! Slain Divine Treasury Realm Second Layer (Pangolin Demon General)! Gained evolution points: 15000!]

Slaughter! Began!

Lin Jingyu’s figure transformed into a destructive hurricane in the collapsing Void Realm!

Shrinking the Ground to an Inch made his speed extreme, and the divine demon dharma idol phantom enveloped his body, with every part of his body—fists, palms, elbows, knees—turning into the most terrifying killing weapons!

Wherever he passed, spatial fragments splattered, and demons exploded in swathes!

Whether they were Pulse Connecting, Marrow Cleansing, or Early Stage Divine Treasury Realm demons, none could withstand a single blow!

“Boom!” One punch! The upper body of a Divine Treasury Realm First Layer two-headed demon dog instantly vanished!

“Slap!” One palm! A winged demon snake pouncing from the air was directly smacked into a paste!

“Thud!” One collision! Three armored demon rhinos charging side-by-side were like being hit by a high-speed train, their bones shattered and internal organs burst!

Evolution point notifications rained down, the numbers jumping wildly!

[evolution points +800!]

[evolution points +1200!]

[evolution points +15000!]

...Lin Jingyu was exhilarated by the killing, his Qi and blood soaring to the heavens, and the divine demon dharma idol phantom seemed to become even more condensed in the endless slaughter!

He was like an archaic god-demon walking in the apocalypse, harvesting all life in this collapsing space in the most primitive and violent way!

Suddenly!

“Screech—!!!”

A sharp, ear-piercing shriek, penetrating the Soul, came from the deepest part of a collapsing palace complex at the very edge of the Void Realm!

Accompanying the shriek, a terrifying demonic might, far surpassing the Divine Treasury Realm and almost reaching the Peak of the Divine Treasury Realm, erupted like a dormant volcano!

A cold, deathly silent Domain prototype, carrying the aura of decaying all things, instantly spread out, enveloping a large area!

Wherever the Domain passed, the collapsing spatial fragments were frozen, decayed, and turned into ash!

A huge bone-winged figure, shrouded in dense grayish-white Death Qi, slowly rose from the ruins!

It resembled an enlarged vulture skeleton, but two cold, pale Soul fires burned in its eye sockets, and Death Qi coiled around its body, exuding an aura of despair!

[Death Domain Bone Vulture King!]

The true overlord of this Void Realm!

An ancient dormant demon, thoroughly awakened by the spatial collapse!

Its pale Soul fire instantly locked onto Lin Jingyu, who was stirring up a bloody storm among the demon horde!

Icy killing intent, like a tangible cold wave, swept over!
