146: Chapter 146 Demonic Power Explodes? No, It's the Chains Breaking Through the Meal

"You... you can actually devour my demonic power?!"

The phantom let out an unbelievable roar, its voice filled with terror and rage.

It had lived for long ages, but never had it seen a member of the Human Race who could reverse-devour the Yao Race's Origin.

Tonight was truly an eye-opener for it.

Gu Han sneered, the heavenly prison chains behind him shining brilliantly, circling around him like living creatures.

They completely crushed the remaining chains of demonic power, devouring them greedily.

The majestic Demonic Qi was refined, turning into the purest Heavenly Prison True Qi, surging endlessly within his body.

"Old dog, didn't you want to devour me?"

"Now, it's This Young Master's turn to devour you!"

Gu Han's voice was cold, like a death warrant from the Nine Nether Hell.

He took a step forward, his figure turning into a streak of golden light, instantly closing in on the phantom.

The saber in his hand hummed, True Qi flickering on the blade, its Saber Intent biting cold as it pointed directly at the phantom.

The phantom's face twisted, a hint of madness flashing in its eyes.

It never imagined that the demonic power it took pride in would actually become the nourishment for Gu Han to grow stronger.

"Arrogant and ignorant ant!"

"Do you think that by devouring a sliver of my demonic power, you can contend with me?"

"Tonight, I shall let you know the meaning of true despair!"

The phantom let out a sky-shaking roar.

Its originally dimmed body suddenly trembled, as a more vast, more ancient demonic power, carrying an aura of decay and death, surged out like a bursting flood.

It erupted from the depths of the gateway, instantly submerging the entire underground space.

This demonic power was no longer a simple attack, but carried a bizarre strength that eroded the Soul and corrupted the Physical Body.

Like thousands of venomous snakes, it frantically bored into Gu Han's body, attempting to disintegrate his vitality from within.

"Jie jie jie... Human brat."

"I shall refine you into a demon puppet, to be driven by me for all eternity!"

The phantom let out a sinister laugh.

A massive Dragon head loomed within the torrent of demonic power.

Its crimson eyes were filled with greed and cruelty.

It wanted Gu Han to personally experience the pain of being better off dead.

Gu Han's body gave a sudden jolt.

He felt a cold and evil power surge into his limbs and bones.

It tried to erode his Dantian and pollute his Sea of Consciousness.

However, there wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes; instead, a flicker of heat flashed through them.

"Perfect!"

He gave a thunderous shout.

The Heavenly Prison True Qi inside him erupted with a bang, golden light as dazzling as the sun, instantly incinerating all the decaying Demonic Qi that had invaded his body.

Deep within his Dantian, the core of the heavenly prison blade emitted a violent vibration, and an irresistible devouring force instantly surged out.

Along with it, the heavenly prison chains also grew a bit stronger.

Buzz!

Gu Han's pores opened wide, and like a whale swallowing the ocean, he frantically absorbed the vast and majestic torrent of demonic power around him.

As soon as this demonic power, carrying the aura of decay and death, entered Gu Han's body, it was instantly purified and refined by the heavenly prison chains, turning into the purest nourishment for them.

The chains continued to grow, climbing section by section at a speed visible to the naked eye, soaring like a rocket.

And at this very moment.

The phantom image of the thirty-eighth heavenly prison chain slowly emerged in Gu Han's Dantian.

The heavenly prison within him became increasingly solid.

Nourished by the torrent of demonic power, Gu Han's heavenly prison underwent a frantic Breakthrough.

The Heavenly Prison True Qi inside him became even more condensed and brilliant, and the pressure it emitted became even more terrifying.

"This... this is impossible!"

The phantom let out a heart-wrenching roar, its voice filled with unbelievable terror.

It could clearly feel that the Origin demonic power it was so proud of...

Was rapidly draining away within Gu Han's body, as if being swallowed by a bottomless pit.

It had intended to burst Gu Han with the majestic demonic power or refine him into a demon puppet.

But it never expected that Gu Han could reverse-devour its power and even use it to achieve a Breakthrough.

"Old dog, this demonic power of yours tastes quite good!"

"Don't stop, keep it coming!"

Golden light swirled in Gu Han's eyes; feeling the surging power within him, the corners of his lips curved into a bloodthirsty arc.

He knew that the devouring ability of the heavenly prison blade far exceeded this Yao Race expert's imagination.

"You... just what kind of monster are you?"

"You aren't from the Human Race; are you a demon from the Devouring Demon Clan?"

The phantom of the Dragon-bodied Great Demon issued a sharp interrogation.

That crimson eyes stared fixedly at Gu Han, filled with unbelievable shock and doubt.

It had lived for long ages and had heard some ancient secrets, among which were records of the "Devouring Demons."

They were a group of terrifying existences that lived by devouring all energy.

They were born with a nearly infinite capacity to contain and refine various types of power.

Gu Han's current performance undoubtedly bore a striking resemblance to those legendary "Devouring Demons."

However, a playful smile appeared on Gu Han's face.

He whole body golden light swirled around him, making him look like a god of war walking the earth.

With every step he took, the ground beneath his feet, eroded by the torrent of demonic power, made a "chi chi" sound as smoke curled up.

"Old dog, stop playing tricks!"

His voice was cold, carrying an undisguised mockery.

"Just devouring this bit of your decaying demonic power makes you think of some Devouring Demon Clan?"

"Is it that your experience is too limited, or are you just too much of a useless old dog that you want to find an excuse for yourself?"

Gu Han's tone was extremely arrogant.

He knew that the phantom's original body was far away in some unknown Demon Domain.

Here, the strength it could display was ultimately limited.

He wanted to provoke it, to force it to completely lose its composure and reveal a weakness.

"You... how audacious!"

The phantom of the Dragon-bodied Great Demon trembled violently, provoked by Gu Han's words.

Its originally dimmed body actually became slightly more solid out of rage.

As a grand powerhouse of the Yao Race, when had it ever been treated with such contempt?

In its blood-moon-like eyes, killing intent like materialized icicles instantly enveloped Gu Han.

"Humble human ant, today I shall let you know what it means to wish you were dead!"

The phantom let out a sky-shaking roar; it no longer held anything back, its massive Dragon body twisting violently.

Streams of even more condensed and majestic demonic power surged like a raging sea.

Wrapped in an endless aura of decay, they rushed toward Gu Han once more.

This time, the phantoms of countless Yao Beasts vaguely appeared within the torrent.

They let out silent roars, carrying a bizarre power that eroded the Soul, attempting to bore into Gu Han's Sea of Consciousness.

A cold light flashed in Gu Han's eyes.

He could clearly feel that the aura of decay contained within this torrent of demonic power was even more concentrated.

Clearly, this Yao Race powerhouse had exerted all its strength, even at the cost of consuming its Origin.

However, there wasn't a trace of fear on his face; instead, the corners of his lips curved into a bloodthirsty arc.

"Deathbed struggles, nothing more!"

He gave a thunderous shout, and the Heavenly Prison True Qi inside him erupted, golden light as dazzling as the sun instantly enveloping his entire body.

Deep within his Dantian, the heavenly prison emitted an even more violent vibration, as if a Taotie beast had encountered a peerless delicacy.

Buzz!

The phantom image of the thirty-eighth heavenly prison chain rapidly solidified.

The majestic demonic power was refined, turning into the purest Heavenly Prison True Qi, surging endlessly within his body.

"This... this is impossible!"

"How could you not have been burst apart?"

The phantom of the Dragon-bodied Great Demon let out a heart-wrenching roar, its voice filled with unbelievable terror and despair.

It could clearly feel that this wave of demonic power it had unleashed seemed to have had no effect at all.

Gu Han was actually able to reverse-devour its power and even use it to achieve a Breakthrough.
