Chapter 607: The Troublesome True King
"You've finally come. The other seven Hetero-Demon Kings must have already met their end at your hands."
Within the silent tower, a hoarse, icy voice suddenly echoed. Immediately after, a massive black vortex appeared before Lin Langtian and the Wolf Demon King.
Lin Langtian gazed at the swirling black vortex, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Ah! Ah!
As the black vortex spun madly, countless shrill, despairing screams emanated from within, reverberating through the Demon Suppression Tower and causing the blood of anyone listening to churn.
"Is this the might of a Hetero-Demon King who has survived two Reincarnation Tribulations?" Lin Langtian stared at the black vortex, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Hum!
The black vortex continued to rotate. Then, Lin Langtian saw low footsteps approaching from its depths.
A pair of pale arms, wreathed in an evil aura, slowly extended from the vortex's depths to grip its edge. Following this, a face—so pale it looked eerie—appeared in the sight of Lin Langtian and the Wolf Demon King.
The black vortex, like a demon's maw, spun slowly before them. Endless evil demonic qi poured from it continuously, causing the temperature inside the tower to drop rapidly, instilling a deep chill in one's heart.
Before the vortex, a figure now stood suspended in midair. He wore a long black robe, his black hair scattered loosely. His face bore a sickly pallor, and the curve of his lips carried a distinct sense of wicked charm.
Though he spoke no words upon appearing, Lin Langtian could feel an indescribable pressure enveloping the world. Even the Wolf Demon King, whose face was usually savage, now showed a trace of gravity.
A true king who had survived two Reincarnation Tribulations.
Compared to ordinary Hetero-Demon Kings, this true king's strength was terrifying. The combined power of the other seven Hetero-Demon Kings in this Demon Suppression Prison likely wouldn't amount to half of his.
"Oh, a newly advanced Hetero-Demon King. But from the looks of it, you've actually defected to the human race? With you leading the way, no wonder the auras of the other seven Hetero-Demon Kings have vanished."
The Hetero-Demon King's slightly narrow eyes narrowed further, resting on the Wolf Demon King as he spoke in a cold, hoarse voice.
Compared to other Hetero-Demon Kings, this true king's perception was extraordinary. Even sealed within the tower, he could faintly sense events outside.
Moreover, he didn't seem overly shocked by the Wolf Demon King's defection to Lin Langtian.
"I merely follow my master's will and serve as the sharpest sword in his hand," the Wolf Demon King replied calmly, his gaze fixed solemnly on the true king.
"A dignified Hetero-Demon King, not only defecting to humans but acknowledging a human as master. You truly trample on the dignity of our Hetero-Demon race."
Hearing the Wolf Demon King's words, a flash of anger appeared in the true king's calm eyes. He then turned to Lin Langtian, finally looking squarely at the youth who appeared to be merely at the half-step Reincarnation Realm. His voice grew much colder: "Who exactly are you?"
"Someone who specializes in troubling you Hetero-Demons," Lin Langtian grinned.
"You? Though I don't know what bewitching method you used to lure away one of my race's kings, since you've broken in, you might as well stay here together!"
The Hetero-Demon True King sneered. With a grip of his large hand, the black vortex suddenly churned violently. With a splash, countless black chains shot out from the vortex like lightning, aiming straight for Lin Langtian.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian snorted coldly. Silver light surged madly from one of his eyes.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound erupted in the space. A spatial blade shot up from Lin Langtian's body, allowing the black chains to strike it.
Sizzle!
Spatial power eroded the chains madly, spreading rapidly along them. The mysterious power of the Spatial Ancestral Symbol was unleashed, shattering the black chains inch by inch.
"Oh?"
The Hetero-Demon True King's expression changed slightly. From that silver light, he sensed a familiar power that made his heart palpitate.
Silver light gathered above Lin Langtian's head. As it wriggled, an ancient rune slowly emerged, accompanied by a peculiar pressure spreading outward.
"Spatial Ancestral Symbol!"
The Hetero-Demon True King stared at the gleaming ancient rune, gnashing his teeth. He finally understood why Lin Langtian claimed to specialize in troubling Hetero-Demons—this guy was an Ancestral Symbol Master.
"Though you control the Spatial Ancestral Symbol, your own strength is so weak. Good—today I'll finish you off and let the Spatial Ancestral Symbol vanish from this world!"
Smiling at the true king, Lin Langtian said, "It seems you're the one who likes talking big. The other seven Hetero-Demon Kings have been utterly erased. Now, it's your turn."
"Then come and try!"
Hearing this, the true king spoke coldly. His hands abruptly formed a series of seals: "Forest of Demonic Pillars Prison!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The black vortex rioted, spinning madly. Pitch-black pillars of light shot out violently, hovering densely in the sky, wreathed in thick demonic qi.
"Boom!"
The sky-filling black pillars whistled down, forming an inescapable net with terrifying momentum.
Lin Langtian looked up, black light surging in his eyes. Black light shot from the top of his head, transforming into a massive black hole above.
The moment the black pillars touched the black hole, they vanished strangely. Like a bottomless maw, the black hole devoured everything.
"Oh, Devouring Ancestral Symbol?! You possess two ancestral symbols!"
The Hetero-Demon True King stared at the black hole above Lin Langtian, his expression changing again. He couldn't help but voice his shock, his tone filled with horror.
Even as a true king who had survived two Reincarnation Tribulations, he never imagined the youth before him would possess not just one, but two ancestral symbols simultaneously!
Lin Langtian's hands hung loosely. Above his head, black and silver light dominated the sky. He looked at the true king and smiled. "How about now?"
As his voice fell, Lin Langtian raised his palm. Mysterious black-gold light rose from his palm, revealing a mysterious mirror within.
In the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror, countless runes interwove—mysterious, eerie, and profound.
"Swoosh."
The light array shot from Lin Langtian's hand, expanding in the wind. In just a few breaths, it grew to thousands of zhang, enveloping the entire dark space.
The Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror hung high, rotating. It seemed even the space itself began to distort.
The terrifying fluctuation from the array above was sensed by the Hetero-Demon True King, causing a glint of alarm to flash in his demonic eyes.
"No wonder those seven Hetero-Demon Kings fell to you—you have such a treasure!"
The Hetero-Demon True King snorted coldly. The black vortex spun again, and a highly condensed demonic pillar pierced through space, heading straight for the array.
"Bang!"
But just as the pillar shot out, a massive demonic spear formed out of thin air, rotating to block it.
"Your opponent is me. Don't interfere with Master."
In the distance, the Wolf Demon King rose into the air, his savage voice filled with icy killing intent.
"Truly a damned traitor!"
The Hetero-Demon True King glared at the Wolf Demon King blocking his path, fierce light flashing in his eyes. With a low roar, his palms formed strange seals, and torrential demonic qi gathered madly.
"Great Troll Avatar!"
A roar echoed as endless demonic qi gathered rapidly around the Hetero-Demon True King. His body expanded swiftly, soon reaching thousands of zhang in height, emitting immense pressure.
In the next moment, the true king extended a massive hand filled with dense demonic qi, from which soul-piercing screams emanated.
"Swoosh!"
The demonic hand crashed down, piercing the void to attack the Wolf Demon King.
Seeing this offensive, the Wolf Demon King's savage face showed extreme gravity. He wiped his large hand fiercely in front of him, condensing demonic qi into a giant shield bearing a wolf head.
Simultaneously, the demonic qi around him condensed rapidly into a pitch-black, cold demonic armor. On the breastplate, a savage black wolf roared at the sky, its aura chilling.
"Heavenly Wolf Demon Shield."
"Heavenly Wolf Demon Armor."
Clearly, facing a Hetero-Demon King who had survived two Reincarnation Tribulations—even one not yet at full strength—the Wolf Demon King was treating this with utmost caution.
Bang!
An earth-shattering fluctuation swept out. The already distorted space tore open with cracks. Both streams of demonic qi suffered immense impact.
The Heavenly Wolf Demon Shield before the Wolf Demon King shattered with a sound. Cracks appeared on his armor. The distant towering Hetero-Demon True King was similarly blasted back thousands of zhang, his surrounding demonic qi fading slightly.
It seemed this clash was evenly matched.
However, the demonic qi lost around the Hetero-Demon True King quickly gathered back at an astonishing speed, and his somewhat withering aura grew stronger.
Clearly, the seal on him was gradually unraveling. Once completely gone, he would return to his peak.
At that time, facing a Hetero-Demon King who had survived two Reincarnation Tribulations, unless the ancient eight lords intervened personally, anyone would be helpless.
"Haha, thanks to you two. If you hadn't disrupted the balance of this Demon Suppression Prison, this tower might have suppressed me for another century.
Now I'm getting stronger. What can you do to me? When I fully break the seal, that will be the day I erase you, the Ancestral Symbol Master, and that traitor!"
The Hetero-Demon True King sensed his advantage, his wild laughter rolling like thunder through the dark space.
"Hmph, you're celebrating too early!"
A cold sneer came from the sky. Lin Langtian stood in the void, the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror fully activated.
Then, Lin Langtian's hands swirled—one wreathed in black light, the other in silver. Two ancient runes appeared faintly.
"With two ancestral symbols as the array eyes, combined with the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror, I refuse to believe I can't handle you!"
Two ancient runes shot from Lin Langtian's hands into the mirror in the sky. From the mirror surface, black and silver light cascaded down.
"Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror—Demon Refining!"
Lin Langtian's hand seals changed, and a low shout burst from his lips.
Hum!
As his voice fell, the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror spun violently. Countless light rays interwove downwards, sealing the Hetero-Demon True King. Terrifying power emanated, rapidly purifying the demonic qi around him.
"Sizzle."
Thick white mist rose from the Hetero-Demon True King. Startled, he hurriedly circulated demonic qi to bombard the black-gold light prison.
Bang!
Yet even with his full power, the light screen merely rippled, showing no sign of collapse.
"You think this can destroy this king? Dream on!"
At this moment, fierce light flashed in the true king's demonic eyes. Low explosions erupted from his massive body.
Accompanied by the explosions, his body expanded even further, and an extremely terrifying fluctuation took shape rapidly.
"Jiejie, boy, it's too late. The seal of the Demon Suppression Tower no longer affects me much. Once I escape and recover my strength, you'll still be ants!"
Arrogant laughter rolled out. The Hetero-Demon True King had expanded to his limit. Even the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror empowered by two ancestral symbols couldn't fully suppress him.
Once he broke free of the array, he could escape the tower, rendering the Demon Suppression Prison's seal completely ineffective.
"Langtian, you can't let him escape the Demon Suppression Tower, or all your efforts will be wasted!" Spirit Aunt's nervous voice rang out.
The Kun Domain lay directly above. If this Hetero-Demon True King escaped, his savage nature would surely lead to a massacre in the Kun Domain, causing the Kun Peng Clan to resent Lin Langtian.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's expression tightened, pushing the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror to its limit.
"It's no good—his strength is recovering too fast. The two ancestral symbols and the mirror can't hold him!"
"Then break through to the Reincarnation Realm. At that point, the Golden Spirit Reincarnation Mirror can unleash even greater power!" Spirit Aunt said quickly.
"Break through to the Reincarnation Realm?" Lin Langtian paused, then gritted his teeth. "I'll try!"
