Chapter 571: The Might of the Demon General and the Emergence of the Dragon Clan
Roar!
Boundless black aura surged out ceaselessly from the demonic eye between Lin Langtian's brows. Instantly, darkness engulfed the skies, blanketing the heavens and earth, causing the world to dim beneath its shadow.
As the sinister aura filled the surroundings, an eerie and evil presence silently permeated outward, accompanied by distant, chilling howls reminiscent of wolves.
Black clouds expanded across the sky, thick and heavy. Suddenly, from Lin Langtian's demonic eye, a ray of black light condensed sharply and shot straight into the dense cloud layers above.
Boom!
When the dark beam penetrated the clouds, they began swirling violently, forming a massive vortex. At its deepest point, space itself seemed to distort, giving the impression of connecting to another dimension entirely, exuding an overwhelming and malevolent presence.
Everyone stared in fearful astonishment at the enormous spatial vortex. From within, a terrifying and unfathomable wave of energy was approaching rapidly.
Witnessing this, even the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's expression drastically changed. He sensed clearly that this emerging power was unfathomably deep, filled with terrifying evil!
"It's a Samsara Stage aura!"
His pupils contracted sharply. He had never imagined Lin Langtian could summon the power of a true Samsara Stage expert.
The enormous vortex expanded rapidly, and just as the gigantic Nine Heavens Heavy Peak was about to descend, a deafening roar echoed from within the vortex, carrying unparalleled evil power that reverberated across the entire realm:
"You vile beast! How dare you harm my master!"
Boom!
An incomparably massive black wolf claw, indescribably evil and imposing, erupted out from within the spatial vortex.
With a single swipe, it annihilated the surrounding space completely. The enormous wolf claw descended with unstoppable force, blotting out the sky itself, overshadowing the entire mountain range.
Simultaneously, the gigantic golden mountain, imbued with enough force to suppress even a Samsara Stage powerhouse, came crashing down. Below, entire mountain ranges cracked and collapsed, splitting open enormous fissures throughout the landscape. It appeared as though the apocalypse itself had arrived.
Hum!
Yet, in mere moments, the enormous wolf claw expanded astonishingly, growing to tens of thousands of feet in size. Like a vast, dark net covering the sky, it firmly seized hold of the golden mountain peak under countless shocked gazes.
Sizzle!
A bizarre noise echoed through the heavens. The gigantic black wolf claw ascended once more, dragging the golden mountain peak along with it, causing the mighty mountain to vanish mysteriously into the darkness.
Though this confrontation seemed initially quiet, every spectator could clearly sense the immense, destructive fluctuations emanating from within the wolf claw.
Yet, that terrifying power gradually began to weaken. The golden glow trapped inside slowly dissipated, signaling the loss of energy from the captured Nine Heavens Heavy Peak.
Puff!
When the energy fully disappeared, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's expression drastically worsened. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly realizing he had completely lost control over his Nine Heavens Heavy Peak!
"How is this possible?!" Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander cried out in astonishment. He never imagined that Lin Langtian could forcibly seize away his precious artifact.
"Haha, Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, is that all you've got?"
Seeing the Nine Heavens Heavy Peak captured by the Wolf Demon General, Lin Langtian's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Although the Wolf Demon General hadn't yet truly entered the Samsara Stage, after absorbing a tremendous amount of Demon Emperor Essence, his strength had greatly increased.
Within the Yimo clan, Demon Generals equated to human Samsara Stage experts, and naturally, there were differences in strength even within this realm. This difference depended not merely on raw power, but on comprehension of Samsara itself.
Those who touched upon the essence of reincarnation became the peak experts within the Samsara Stage, qualified to challenge the ultimate peak of the Reincarnation Stage.
Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander and similar beings were at the ordinary Samsara Stage, whereas existences such as the Dragon Clan's Great Elder had reached the level of touching reincarnation. Although both belonged to the same stage, their power differed drastically.
Now that the Wolf Demon General had absorbed vast Demon Emperor Essence, he had reached the level of comprehending Demon Emperor essence, surpassing ordinary Samsara Stage experts by far. Thus, ordinary Samsara Stage cultivators like Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander were no longer worthy opponents for him.
In the next instant, Lin Langtian's gaze turned cold. With a single thought, the gigantic wolf claw instantly appeared before the Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander.
Boom!
With a furious roar, Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander unleashed a powerful fist strike against the incoming giant claw.
Bang!
The giant black claw effortlessly neutralized his attack. Lin Langtian sneered disdainfully as the sharp tips of the enormous claw plunged mercilessly into Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's flesh.
Roar!
Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's eyes turned bloodshot, and his body expanded instantly. Blood-red energy surged as he transformed into a massive six-winged dragon thousands of feet in size, unleashing a furious dragon roar echoing through the heavens.
"Think you can escape by reverting to your true form?" Lin Langtian mocked coldly.
Though only a single claw had appeared, the Wolf Demon General's might was absolute. It easily tore through the dragon's scales, grabbing one of its blood-red wings. Lifting the enormous beast as if it weighed nothing, it slammed the dragon ferociously into a towering mountain.
Bang!
The entire mountain shattered instantly. Despite the dragon's frenzied struggles, the black claw gripped it tightly, smashing it repeatedly into mountains and cliffs across the region.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The earth trembled violently. Countless onlookers stared dumbfounded at the scene of Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander being brutally battered. The once-dominant commander's agonized screams filled the sky, sending chills down everyone's spine.
In the distance, Golden Ape and Ghost Condor Demon Commanders watched this horrifying spectacle, their faces twitching uncontrollably. They quickly disengaged from their fights, staring in disbelief at Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's pitiful state.
They were well aware of Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's true strength. To see him defeated so miserably by Lin Langtian's summoned entity left them thoroughly shocked.
"This guy… even if he survives, he'll lose half his life," the two commanders thought bitterly, deeply regretting provoking Lin Langtian.
Lin Dong and Little Flame watched this astonishing scene unfold, exchanging a look of awe. "Brother Langtian really is extraordinary," they murmured in admiration.
Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander was unquestionably a top-tier Samsara Stage expert, especially given his Nine Heavens Heavy Peak. Yet, even he was reduced to such a wretched condition by Lin Langtian, which was nothing short of astounding.
"It looks like the fight's over." Lin Langtian leisurely stretched, feeling Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's rapidly declining aura. Clearly, the latter was gravely injured and no longer posed a threat.
Crash!
At that moment, the six-winged dragon crashed down violently, demolishing several mountains before coming to a halt, buried amidst rubble, blood gushing from countless wounds.
All the spectators fell silent, deeply shaken by what they had just witnessed.
Descending slowly, Lin Langtian glanced indifferently at the heavily wounded dragon and said calmly, "Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, have you had enough?"
Turning to the gathered crowd, he declared evenly, "Thunder Abyss Mountain belongs to my brothers. If anyone harbors any ideas in the future, I'll be waiting."
His voice was calm, but all could sense the chilling threat hidden beneath his calm tone.
Golden Ape and Ghost Condor Demon Commanders secretly sighed. Lin Langtian's warning was clearly meant for them. After witnessing Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander's humiliation, they had no desire to follow in his footsteps.
Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander returned to his human form, bloodied and weakened. Yet, lifting his head with resentment, he spat venomously, "Human, kill me if you dare. Otherwise, I'll never let this matter rest!"
Lin Langtian's smile faded, replaced by a lethal intent emanating from his demonic eye.
Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander snorted, displaying a blood-red dragon totem filled with draconic power. "I belong to the Dragon Clan. Kill me, and they won't stand idle!"
Lin Langtian hesitated slightly, seeing the dragon totem. But then, a cold sneer appeared on his lips. "How dare you impersonate a Dragon Clan member. Today, I'll rid the Dragon Clan of your impostor self!"
Without hesitation, he attacked fiercely, shattering the dragon totem instantly.
"You!" Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander shouted in disbelief, but before he could react, the giant black claw descended again mercilessly.
Boom!
At that critical moment, space twisted suddenly, and two powerful figures emerged, striking the wolf claw back amidst resounding dragon roars.
"Human friend, perhaps you've gone too far. Is there a need for such ruthless killing?"
A majestic voice echoed through the sky, bringing with it an overwhelming draconic pressure.
All eyes shifted upward, shocked by the imposing presence of two figures surrounded by dragon-shaped auras.
"The Dragon Clan has arrived…" people whispered incredulously.
One of the Four Overlord Clans had finally revealed itself...
