The thunder and lightning in the sky continued to rumble. Lin San had become extremely proficient in using the power of [Five Thunder Strike].
As his strength increased, the duration and intensity of the lightning he summoned grew stronger and lasted longer. Some of the more powerful Demon Gods had their bodies shattered by the strikes, and their souls were forced to flee.
But those souls had no chance to escape. More powerful lightning bolts rained down, destroying even their souls.
Lin San ignored the Demon Gods and flew towards another city.
Among the eighteen cities in the east, Lin San had already visited twelve in a short period of time, slaughtering all the Demon Gods in each. However, he still hadn't found any trace of the Demon God Kings.
"Tell me, where are your kings?"
With a mere thought, a nine-star Demon God's body floated in front of Lin San. The Demon God struggled frantically, but no matter how hard it tried, its body couldn't move.
No matter how much it fought, it remained frozen in place, and terror filled its eyes. When Lin San had arrived, he had slaughtered countless Demon Gods with lightning speed, leaving them no chance to escape.
"You're dead. You're all going to die!" The Demon God sneered at Lin San, its expression twisted and vicious.
"I'll ask again—where are your kings?" Lin San asked calmly.
With another thought, a mysterious force surged forth, causing the Demon God's body to swell visibly.
Sensing the danger, its eyes widened in horror. It tried to mobilize its power, but in front of Lin San, it was utterly helpless.
"All of you Martial Gods will die eventually!" it screamed. "Die, you human ants!!"
Boom—
Before it could finish speaking, its already bloated body exploded, shattering into countless pieces.
At that moment, a soul force emerged from the remains.
However, just like the other souls, this one couldn't move under Lin San's gaze.
"Goodbye."
With a flick of his Ye Fan sword, Lin San cleaved the soul in two.
The soul dissipated, and the powerful energy and blood essence were once again absorbed by the Ye Fan sword.
[Killed Nine-Star Demon God, gained 900,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Demon God's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
...
Lin San closed his eyes, feeling the powerful energy coursing through his body.
He had slain countless Demon Gods across multiple cities, absorbing vast amounts of energy.
However, with his Saint's Body, merely absorbing energy wasn't enough to reach the Divine Emperor level.
"To reach the Divine Emperor realm, it's not just about absorbing energy... It's about comprehending the Dao," Lin San muttered to himself.
But absorbing energy still had its benefits. It allowed him to strengthen the capacity of his body, enabling it to contain even more powerful energy.
His body ascended into the air once more, heading towards the next city.
...
Meanwhile, in a large city occupied by the Demon Gods, several Demon God Kings had just received a report from their subordinates, and their expressions turned grim.
"Impossible!"
"How could there be such a powerful Martial God King!?" one of the Demon God Kings standing in the city center growled.
The Demon Gods trembled in fear, but they knew what they had seen was real. Lin San's power was terrifying—he had slain countless Demon Gods with a single strike. There was no lie in their report.
At that moment, the two Demon God Kings seemed to sense something. Instinctively, they turned and looked towards the sky.
In the distance, they could see Lin San's figure approaching, with numerous Demon Gods already flying up to confront him.
"Heh."
Lin San smirked, watching the approaching Demon Gods. With a slight movement of his hand, he slashed his Ye Fan sword, releasing a wave of powerful energy.
In an instant, all the Demon Gods were cleaved in half.
Slain in an instant.
The two Demon God Kings watched in shock, their eyes widening.
"Retreat!" they shouted in unison before flying towards the sky.
"Finally found you," Lin San muttered, narrowing his eyes as he saw the two Demon God Kings.
After traversing through so many cities, he had finally found the trail of the Demon God Kings.
Both Demon God Kings wielded eerie-looking long swords, and with a roar of fury, they charged straight at Lin San.
"Damn human!" they shouted, rapidly closing the distance.
Clang, clang, clang—
Lin San swiftly swung his sword, parrying their attacks. The sound of weapons clashing echoed loudly in the air.
Even though both Demon God Kings were attacking him simultaneously, they could do nothing to overpower Lin San. In fact, the Ye Fan sword emanated strong bursts of sword energy, which collided with the Demon God Kings' armor.
Their armor quickly began to crack under the assault, and it looked as though it was about to break apart.
[Thousand Thunder]!
Lin San decided to end the fight quickly and unleashed his full strength without holding back. As the ability activated, the Ye Fan sword emitted powerful electrical currents.
These currents spread through the Demon God Kings' swords upon contact, quickly surging into their bodies.
Damn it!
Everything was happening too fast, leaving the two Demon God Kings no time to react.
