112: Ancient Demon
"Retreat!" He decided instantly, the Chaos Qi barrier wrapping around the Seven Saint Sons, intending to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.
However, that ancient Devil Head seemed to have locked onto Ye Chen and Lin Dao, whose blood and Qi were the most vigorous. Another giant claw tore through space, carrying endless devilish power, and grabbed down directly at them!
"Protect them well!" Lin Dao shouted to the Seven Saint Sons, then turned around to face the sky-covering giant claw, his ten-thousand-foot Divine Demon Incarnation manifesting once again!
On his dark golden fist, the Chaos Qi was compressed to the extreme, and he met it head-on!
"Chaos Destruction Fist!"
The fist and claw collided like two stars crashing into each other! The terrifying shockwave completely razed the basin to the ground!
Lin Dao's ten-thousand-foot Divine Demon Incarnation shook violently and slid back several thousand miles. Cracks appeared on his dark golden fist, and golden Divine Demon blood flowed down.
The giant claw was also shaken back slightly, and the Devilish Qi surged.
"Humans... the aura of Divine Demons... If I devour you, this King might be able to see the light of day again!" A greedy and hoarse roar came from the bottom of the tower, and more Devilish Qi surged out, causing the entire black giant tower to teeter on the verge of collapse!
The situation instantly spiraled out of control!
The ancient Devil Head's giant claw was shaken back by Lin Dao's punch, and the Devilish Qi surged as it let out a roar of rage.
The half-collapsed black giant tower shook violently, and more cracks spread across it. The surging Devilish Qi rose like smoke into the sky, dyeing the sky over this basin ink-black.
The terrifying pressure made all the Saint Kings except for Lin Dao feel difficulty breathing, their Divine Souls trembling.
"This Devil Head is about to break free!" Thunder Roar Saint King's face turned pale, his previous arrogance gone.
Facing an ancient Devil Head that might possess Great Saint Realm strength, even they, the Saint Kings, felt a deadly threat.
"We cannot let it out! Otherwise, we will all die!" Nether Bone Saint King screamed, his tone filled with a trace of fear.
The remaining eight heads of the Nine-Headed Lion Saint King also revealed solemn expressions, roaring lowly: "Join forces! Suppress this Devil Head first!"
At this moment, whatever War God Blood Tree or competition for Opportunity was thrown to the back of their minds. Survival was the top priority!
Cihang Saint King pressed his palms together, Buddha light shining intensely around him, attempting to use Buddhist Dharma to purify the Devilish Qi and reinforce the teetering black giant tower.
Qionghua Saint King also waved her Moon Radiance longsword, slashing out cold Sword Qi to weaken the Devilish Qi.
Sword Aura Saint King's Sword Qi soared into the sky, pointing directly at the devilish shadow at the bottom of the tower.
However, their attacks landed on the surging Devilish Qi like clay oxen entering the sea, with little effect.
This ancient Devil Head had been suppressed for eons, its resentment and devilish nature already deep in its bones. Its strength level far exceeded theirs; it could not be suppressed simply by joining forces.
"Ants dare to stop me?!" The hoarse and tyrannical roar of the Devil Head came from the bottom of the tower. That giant claw covered in black scales reached out again. This time, devilish patterns flashed upon it, condensing even more terrifying power, and it grabbed directly at Cihang Saint King, who was casting Buddhist Dharma!
Cihang Saint King's expression changed drastically. He exerted his full power to activate his Buddha light to protect his body, while simultaneously summoning a string of Buddhist beads, which transformed into a golden light barrier.
Boom! The giant claw slammed into the golden light barrier, and the barrier shattered instantly like paper! The Buddhist beads exploded!
Cihang Saint King spat out a large mouthful of golden Buddha blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, his aura instantly withering by more than half!
A single blow severely injured a Saint King Realm Fourth Level expert! This was the terrifying strength of a Great Saint Realm Devil Head; even after being suppressed for eons, it was still not something a Saint King could easily contend with!
"Oh no!" Seeing this, the others were even more terrified.
Lin Dao's eyes were cold; he knew he could not hesitate any longer. Once this Devil Head completely broke free, the first ones it would kill would be him and Ye Chen, who had the most vigorous blood and Qi and possessed the Divine Demon Body!
"Retreat and look for an Opportunity to collect the War God Blood Tree, then leave immediately!" Lin Dao quickly transmitted his voice to the Seven Saint Sons behind him. Immediately, his ten-thousand-foot Divine Demon Incarnation erupted once again with brilliant dark golden divine light!
This time, he did not hold back, pushing his Saint King Realm First Level cultivation and his near Major Achievement Primordial Divine Demon Body to the extreme!
"Chaos Heaven-Imprisoning Cage!" He formed seals with his hands, and Chaos Qi surged wildly from his body. It was not an attack, but rather rapidly intertwining and constructing in the air, transforming into a huge Chaos cage that enveloped the entire basin!
On the cage, countless Divine Demon runes flowed, emitting a supreme Concept of sealing all things and isolating the world!
He wanted to use the Chaos Law to forcibly seal this space, delay the speed at which the Devil Head broke free, and even attempt to suppress it again!
"Roar! The power of Chaos?! Who exactly are you?!" The Devil Head felt the aura of the Chaos cage and let out a roar of shock and anger. Its giant claw attacked the cage barrier frantically, causing the Chaos Qi to vibrate violently, but it could not break through immediately!
"Take this chance!" Seeing this, Lin Hao immediately shouted to Ye Chen and the others.
Ye Chen could no longer hold back. His figure transformed into a golden light, charging straight at the War God Blood Tree, which was shining brightly!
Lin Yun channeled the power of the stars to interfere with the rampaging Devilish Qi around them. Phoenix Spirit's Undying Phoenix Fire burned the approaching Devilish Qi tentacles. Lin Feng, Yang Yan, and Moon Radiance stood guard on the sides, fending off scattered Devilish Qi attacks coming from other directions.
However, just as Ye Chen's hand was about to touch the War God Blood Tree—a sudden change occurred!
The War God Blood Tree shook violently, and its roots were actually connected to the base of the black giant tower!
With the impact of the Devil Head, a crack opened in the tower base. A stream of even purer, more domineering dark red blood and Qi energy, seemingly containing the most original Battle Intent in the world, gushed out from the crack like a fountain. Most of it was absorbed by the War God Blood Tree, causing its light to increase again, but a small portion, as if it had intelligence, actively coiled around the nearest person, Ye Chen!
"Ah—!" Ye Chen let out a low roar intermingled with pain and pleasure!
That dark red blood and Qi energy was extremely violent, surging crazily into his body and scouring his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body!
His body instantly turned crimson, and countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of his skin, as if he might explode and die at any moment!
But at the same time, his blood and Qi power was also surging crazily at an astonishing speed. His bones made thunderous noises, and his aura rose uncontrollably!
This was not ordinary War God Blood Tree energy, but the "Devil War God Origin" formed after the ancient Devil Head had been suppressed for eons, its partial most original blood and Qi and Battle Intent mixed with potentially existing Emperor Blood, settled through the ages!
Its energy level far exceeded the ordinary!
"Ye Chen!" Lin Hao and the others' expressions changed drastically, wanting to step forward to help, but they were forced back by the violent energy turbulence.
Lin Dao also noticed Ye Chen's abnormal state, but he was currently fully maintaining the Chaos Heaven-Imprisoning Cage and could not be distracted.
The Devil Head's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and the Chaos cage already had cracks!
"Hahaha! Stupid human! You dare to directly absorb my Devil War God Origin! Explode and die!" A rampant, ferocious laugh came from the bottom of the tower.
It seemed to have anticipated this long ago. Although the Devil War God Origin was good, it contained its own devilish nature and tyrannical Battle Intent. An ordinary Physique could not withstand it at all and would only be burst open!
However, it underestimated the dominance of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body!
Ye Chen's eyes were crimson, his veins bulging. He was enduring unimaginable pain, but the unyielding spirit and Battle Intent in his bones were completely ignited!
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was one of the supreme Physiques of the force extreme and physical sanctification. Its inclusiveness and endurance were far beyond imagination!
"Refine... for me!!" Ye Chen let out a beast-like roar, frantically operating the Cultivation Technique of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, guiding the violent Devil War God Origin to surge and crash within his body, and finally forcibly bringing it under his control!
His body was like a huge furnace, stripping away and refining the devilish Battle Intent bit by bit, leaving only the purest blood and Qi Origin!
His cultivation began to break through crazily under this extreme pressure and devouring!
