As the Devouring Heaven Evil King's laughter surged, his massive figure slowly shrank, finally shrinking to the height of a normal person.
But the shrunken aura of the Devouring Heaven Evil King grew even more terrifying. Though he was just a corpse, he still left people with endless shock.
"Crack, crack, crack... The
Devouring Heaven Evil King moved his arm, producing a strange noise. His entire body was covered in black scales, with nails over three inches long, shining dark and gleaming with a cold light.
There was no flesh or blood on the Devouring Heaven Evil King's face, only a layer of shriveled skin clinging to his bones. His eye sockets were empty, yet two dark green flames flickered.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Ye Ming formed hand seals with both hands, and a strange pattern appeared on his brow. As the mark lit up, Ye Ming's body vanished in an instant.
Immediately after, a pattern lit up in the eyes of the Devouring Heaven Evil King, identical to the pattern that had appeared on Ye Ming's brow earlier.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
Evil King of Devouring Heaven's body trembled violently, glowing all over. The King roared, "How dare you enslave me?" You've got some nerve. "
It was this god who gave you life. Without me, you would never have had the chance to rise again.
As my puppet, that is your honor. Ye Ming's voice actually came from within the Devouring Heaven Evil King's body. Ye Ming actually used divine arts to control him in a way akin to possession.
"Bastard, do you know who I am? You, a mere Nirvana false god, dare to disrespect me. "The Devouring Heaven Evil King roared, clutching his head with both hands, as if trying to expel Ye Ming from within him.
"When I resurrected you, my soul seed was already planted. You simply couldn't resist." Ye Ming's voice echoed again inside the Devouring Heaven Evil King's body, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Boom boom boom boom... The
Devouring Heaven Evil King's body trembled, black mist erupted, invading the entire world and gradually devouring the giant tree behind it.
"Hahaha, Long Chen, are you planning to ambush me?" The Devouring Heaven Evil King suddenly stopped trembling and laughed heartily.
Long Chen was gathering strength beneath his feet. Hearing the Devouring Heaven Evil King's words, his heart tightened. The Devouring Heaven Evil King's voice had changed, merging with Ye Ming's, and so quickly, the possession was complete, giving Long Chen no chance.
"I told you, everything is under my control. Although there was a bit of an accident along the way, in the end, I won. In despair, I'll wait for death to come." Ye Ming's voice echoed in the void. At this moment, he had completely merged with the corpse of the Devouring Heaven Evil King.
The black mist behind him kept rising and expanding, and suddenly the four massive figures beneath the altar began to tremble slowly.
"Now things are in trouble. Ye Ming is currently extracting the last bit of life force from the giant tree to nourish this corpse.
He hadn't expected that this nearly dead giant tree still possessed such terrifying vitality. If all the tree's vitality were absorbed, the corpse's strength would likely recover by more than half.
By then, even those above Tongming wouldn't be able to resist him. This was nothing short of a huge conspiracy. "Dragonbone Evil Moon said in a deep voice.
Dragonbone Evil Moon, who also possesses dark power, was more sensitive than others to perceive Ye Ming's movements. Ye Ming's ambition was immense.
"Buzz"—
The giant tree was enveloped in endless dark energy. Suddenly, ripples appeared on the tree, and it began to block the erosion of the black energy.
"What?" It still has its own consciousness? Ye
Ming was shocked. An accident had happened. When the last trace of power from this giant tree was extracted, it actually triggered a self-protective consciousness, preventing him from returning to his strongest state.
"Strike!"
Long Chen made a snap decision. The Evil Moon of the Dragonbone in his hand erupted, and the phenomenon behind him stretched open like a bolt of lightning, rushing toward Ye Mingji.
Through the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, Long Chen learned that Ye Ming was currently in an extremely awkward position.
Right now, he couldn't leave the altar, nor could he even move his body, because if he did, he would break the formation and break free from the runes beneath the altar. Once the formation was broken, he would no longer be able to absorb the power of the giant tree.
The Evil King of Devouring Heaven he controlled only had his current power and could not further enhance it. Now that the giant tree had activated self-protection, he had to wait until its self-protection consciousness was exhausted before continuing to absorb more.
Now was the best opportunity. At least for now, interrupting Ye Ming still held a glimmer of hope. If he let him drain the tree's vitality, it would be completely finished.
"You're too childish."
Seeing Long Chen rushing over, Ye Ming let out a cold laugh, his voice full of disdain.
"You're the one who's childish, constantly playing bluffing tricks." Long Chen sneered. The Dragonbone Evil Moon had already tore through the void, slashing down at the Devouring Heaven Evil King controlled by Ye Ming.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, beneath the altar, a massive fist tore through the void, blocking Ye Ming's front and smashing into Long Chen's long blade, producing a deafening explosion.
"What?"
Long Chen suddenly felt a tremendous force surge through him, his wrist aching sharply, breaking in an instant. The Dragon Bone Evil Moon was thrown from his hand, his whole body flying backward, spurting a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling as if his body was about to fall apart.
"Long Chen!"
Chu Yao was shocked. Liu Ruyan shot out willow branches, forming protective barriers behind Long Chen. As Long Chen struck, the weak willow branches shattered one after another.
However, the willow branch's resistance relieved most of Long Chen's strength. Chu Yao caught him in one go and was shocked to find that all the bones in Long Chen's body were cracked. No one knew just how terrifying the force Long Chen had endured.
"Overestimating yourself. In my eyes now, you are nothing but an ant." Ye Ming sneered.
Only then did everyone notice the altar slowly sinking. Originally, it was carried by four gigantic figures, but now that these four figures had lowered the altar, four giants dressed in black armor and wearing black helmets were revealed.
One of them slowly withdrew his massive fist—it was the very attack he had just unleashed, sending Long Chen flying with a single punch.
"The Four Great Divine Generals... Resurrected. People were shocked. Those four tower-like figures exuded endless pressure, and just one glance sent chills down their spines.
These four great generals radiated a cold killing intent, as if four Giant Spirit Gods from hell had slain countless beings, their killing intent almost condensed into tangible form.
Even someone as powerful as Long Chen couldn't withstand even their casual strikes. Just now, he was carrying the altar, just swinging it casually with one hand.
But even with such a single strike, even the physically tough Long Chen would have his bones cracked. Now that they had lowered the altar, with no restraints, who could withstand them?
"Buzz!"
As the four divine generals awakened, the giant tree suddenly trembled. From the countless cocoons hanging down from its roots, one figure after another broke free.
That was rebirthThe Devouring Sky Black Armored Army. They were born with scales and wielding bone blades. When their eyes opened, they looked so confused at first, but when they saw the humans around them, their eyes instantly filled with a beast-like, bloodthirsty desire.
"Kill them for me."
Ye Ming suddenly snapped his fingers, and the Devouring Heaven Black Armor soldiers who had just emerged from their cocoons swung their bone knives as they charged at the Dragonblood Legion.
"Rumble..."
As Ye Ming's order was given, the earth shattered. The endless newly formed Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army burst forth from underground, surging toward the Dragonblood Legion like raging waves, numbering over a hundred million, and the underground continued to surge wildly, seemingly endless.
Even though the Dragonblood Legion was always fearless and fearless, seeing so many Devouring Heaven Black Armored Soldiers made them feel a chill in their hearts. This was too much; even if they didn't resist, they wouldn't be able to kill them.
Each Devouring Heaven Black Armored Soldier exuded a powerful aura, even stronger than an average fourth-step Tongming Realm disciple.
The number of Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army was so overwhelming it was almost despairing. Compared to them, all the powerful warriors from the Tianwu Continent present combined were but a drop in the ocean.
"Brothers, this is a tough battle, but our Dragonblood Legion will never fear any challenge. Brothers, let's fight with all our might!"
Long Chen watched as the endless Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army charged forward. With a furious roar, the Dragonbone Evil Moon radiated endless divine light, slashed horizontally, and with a single strike, began the great battle.
"Puff puff puff... Long
Chen summoned the Azure Dragon Battle Body. With a single strike, the Devouring Heaven Black Armor soldiers exploded to pieces, unable to withstand Long Chen's strike.
But there were too many Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army. Long Chen slashed through and the Black Armor Army vanished in large numbers, but the Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army surged rapidly behind them, instantly arriving in front of Long Chen's legion.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Mengqi formed hand seals with her jade-like hand, and one massive figure after another appeared out of thin air. These were gigantic skeleton monsters, each like a mountain, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Roar!"
The giant beasts roared, their voices shaking the heavens. The appearance of more than thirty giant beasts intimidated all the strong beings present.
"The giant beast remains above Tongming." Someone cried out in alarm. As soon as these giant beasts appeared, they charged forward, their mouths wide open, divine light surging and tearing through the void, like a bronze wall blocking the front of the Dragonblood Legion.
Meng Qi summoned all the Nether Beasts in one go. As soon as they appeared, they launched attacks, crushing the Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army in front in masses.
These Nether Beasts were terrifying. Each attack carried overwhelming force, which shocked Zhao Ritian and the others. They secretly felt relieved. If Meng Qi had summoned them earlier to besiege them, with over thirty Nether Beasts attacking together, none of them could withstand it.
These Nether Beasts had always been Meng Qi's strongest trump card, and now they had no choice but to use them. As soon as the Nether Beasts appeared, they displayed terrifying destructive power, blocking the first wave of assault. Only a portion of the Devouring Sky Black Armor Army charged forward.
Moreover, with the Nether Beasts blocking the way, the waves they charged through were greatly reduced. The Dragonblood warriors began to intervene, making their defense much easier.
With the Nether Beast appearing, the righteous cultivators gained a sense of reassurance, giving them a chance to fight.
"Pfft!" Suddenly,
a bone blade slashed down from the air. A Nether Beast was slain with a single strike. A Devouring Heaven Divine General appeared, and that terrifying Nether Beast was utterly unable to withstand the might of his strike.
Immediately after, another divine general appeared. The two stood at the front of the formation, and in an instant, the Nether Beasts' defensive line was sliced open by a large gap.
Two Devouring Heaven Divine Generals, wielding bone knives, charged straight at the Dragonblood Legion. For a moment, everyone's hearts leapt into their throats.
"Rumble...
Suddenly, the void trembled and the earth roared. In the distance, a towering giant tree roared toward them. At the same time, countless arrows shot out from within the tree, shooting straight at the Sky-Devouring Black Armor Army.
"It's the Life Spirit God, a warrior of the Luoling Clan." Long Chen couldn't help but feel overjoyed—the Luoling Clan had actually come to support.
