584 Chapter 583: Grand Devil Feast
"Ying Xuanzi, don't act rashly and harm the harmony of the East Xuan Region Alliance!"
"As the leader of the Dao Sect, how can you lay hands on the lower-stage disciples of our Yuan Gate? You should have the dignity of a strong practitioner! We don't know anything about the sect leader's actions!"
The elders of Yuan Gate tried to resist Ying Xuanzi's onslaught while trying to talk him down, hoping that he would calm down.
However, Ying Xuanzi was now beyond reason and didn't care about maintaining any semblance of dignity. His actions became even more ruthless. He mercilessly killed every Yuan Gate elder and disciple without exception.
"Damn it! The sect leaders won't let you get away with this..."
"The sect leaders will avenge us..."
"Sooner or later, the Dao Sect will meet the same fate as our Yuan Gate…"
In the absence of the three leaders of Yuan Gate, the strongest ones left were only Profound Death Stage Practitioners. They were no match for Ying Xuanzi's Samsara Stage onslaught, and the scene quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.
The Elder Senior Sister of the Sky Hall also lent a hand from the sidelines. The cries of agony echoed throughout Yuan Gate. This left the surrounding strong practitioners tongue-tied. They were taken aback by the Dao Sect's ruthless methods.
However, given Yuan Gate's collusion with the Yimo combined with Xiao Ming's presence in the sky, they could only quietly observe without daring to voice any opinion.
Xiao Ming, meanwhile, didn't continue to pay attention to Ying Xuanzi and the others' actions. Instead, he increased the output of the multi-colored flame in his hand.
Zhou Tong's body suddenly glowed like the rising sun, with brilliant rays of light spreading across the sky. It forced many to squint their eyes against the glare.
Despite the stinging pain, however, they still forcefully endured the pain and stared intently at the sky.
Crack!
Wild and violent energy crazily struck Zhou Tong's black skeleton like floodwaters. The space around him shattered completely. The black devil lines on his skeleton cracked and flew away like debris, quickly scattering into the air.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
Although one crack appeared initially and seemed tiny, it triggered a chain reaction. Soon after, many cracks began to appear on Zhou Tong's devil body. In just a few breaths, they spread across his entire body.
Evil and viscous Demonic Qi was emitted from within the black skeleton.
However, they were completely vaporized under the terrifying flames.
A faint smile slowly appeared on Zhou Tong's face as the Demonic Qi continued to dissipate. A light black fog continued to emanate. The expression on his face became more vivid as if he was experiencing a sense of liberation.
Ying Huanhuan looked at this scene with unspeakable bitterness in her heart, her emotions complex. Her hatred and anger towards Yuan Gate grew even stronger.
Buzz!
The previously drifting black mist suddenly erupted with a terrifying Demonic Qi. It then transformed into countless black rays of light that shot out. Those light rays entwined around each other and vaguely formed an extremely evil devil lock. The devil lock entwined around Zhou Tong's body in an attempt to bind him once more.
"The power of the Yimo is indeed a bit troublesome, but do you think you can continue to enslave others in front of me?"
Xiao Ming's eyes turned cold as the Emperor Flame erupted from his arm once again. The majestic flames directly dissolved the Devil Emperor Lock.
With the Devil Emperor Lock completely destroyed, a cluster of silver light appeared above Zhou Tong's head. An ancient fluctuation was being emitted from it. This was the Spatial Ancestral Symbol.
The silver light shook gently at this moment. After which, the glow became even more intense. Countless spatial Qi poured into Zhou Tong's body, cleansing his eroded bones and flesh. Meanwhile, tender flesh started to grow on his stark white bones, and his internal organs gradually returned to normal.
"Ah..."
Zhou Tong's entire body was filled with a dazzling silver light. Flesh and skin quickly grew over his white bones, restoring him to his original physical appearance.
He leaped to the ground, his hands coming together to form an especially strange seal. As the seal was completed, a mysterious fluctuation emanated from his palms, spreading out like ripples in a pond.
The ripple descended from above and finally entered the land below. At this moment, everyone could feel the land under their feet begin to shake slightly. It was as if a giant dragon was awakening.
Vast and mighty energy surged like floodwaters under the ground. The plants on the surface began to wither as a desolate aura quietly spread.
"All living things of the land, turn into desolation!"
"The Great Desolation Scripture…"
Xiao Ming recognized this Martial Art. Only one person in the Desolate Hall of the Dao Sect had been able to comprehend this scripture in the past hundred years. He wondered if anyone else had managed to comprehend it after he passed it on to the Dao Sect.
Buzz...
The vast land continuously trembled at this moment. It seemed as if thousands of dragons were surging from beneath the ground. Waves of immense energy were converging towards a single direction.
That place was where Yuan Gate was located.
The moment Zhou Tong clenched his fist tightly, the ground beneath Yuan Gate suddenly split apart. Everyone was stunned when they saw a three thousand meters large energy light pillar emerging from the ground and bursting through the clouds!
Boom!
The deafening sound was beyond description. Energy ripples rolled across the sky, clearly audible even a thousand miles away. The remaining Yuan Gate practitioners were thrown to the ground as the terrifying energy shockwave spread.
Zhou Tong's attack showed no mercy. Mountains crumbled, the land turned upside down, and the sky was filled with flying debris. Chasms crisscrossed the ground, completely burying the Yuan Gate members.
After a hundred years, Zhou Tong once again attacked the Yuan Gate, but this time, he buried them for good!
"Has Yuan Gate fallen just like that?"
"It can't be possible, can it? The whereabouts of the three Yuan Gate leaders are still unknown."
"I doubt they'll let the three top figures escape..."
Many strong practitioners were engaged in lively discussions outside the Yuan Gate.
All of a sudden, a ray of dark light streaked across the sky. The demonic light erupted from the ground beneath the Yuan Gate. It touched the sky above and merged with the ground below.
Swoosh!
Black Demonic Qi spread across the sky and land. Immediately, the entire world darkened while chilly winds blew.
Soon after, countless sharp miserable howls suddenly sounded from within Yuan Gate. The onlookers watched in horror as the corpses of the Yuan Gate disciples exploded into nothingness. Then, their flesh and blood merged with the dense Demonic Qi that swirled in the surrounding area!
Rumble!
The land below suddenly split apart as the Demonic Qi permeated the land. Soon after, viscous Demonic Qi spread before some terrifying creatures began to slowly crawl out from beneath the ground.
The entire region descended into a sea of Demonic Qi at this moment!
Within the forbidden grounds of Yuan Gate's rear mountain, where the source of the black tide lay, three figures slowly appeared.
Tian Yuanzi, Di Yuanzi, and Ren Yuanzi reappeared. They had been badly injured earlier. But now, they seemed to have recovered. Their bodies were shrouded in black Qi, and their auras had become extremely strange. Their expressions were hideously twisted.
"The Dao Sect and you who dare to attack our Yuan Gate will all pay the price!"
Tian Yuanzi, the head of the three great sect leaders, roared with a demonic howl. The eyes of the three leaders flashed with dark light as they simultaneously formed seals. A demonic light instantly surged out.
Suddenly, countless devil-like figures tore through the ground before springing up like wild beasts.
"What the hell are those?"
The observing strong practitioners cried out in shock as Demonic Qi rose from below, with numerous figures rising into the air.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to those figures. They could see that these figures were in a damaged state. However, their bodies were exceptionally sturdy, and they vaguely resembled a human body. Nevertheless, their extremely evil aura allowed everyone to understand what they really were.
"They are Yimo!"
An onlooker cried out in a deep voice. There were actually so many Yimo hidden under Yuan Gate?
Yuan Gate's collusion with the Yimo was now beyond any doubt.
"That's not right. These are all Yimo corpses. They should be dead Yimo, but now they seem to be controlled by the three leaders through some means."
Someone noticed that these Yimo lacked intelligence in their eye sockets. Instead, they were filled with bloodlust and violence. Their appearance resembled that of murderous corpses being controlled.
"Be cautious. Although these devil corpses have lost their former strength, we mustn't underestimate them. If we get caught up in this, it's doubtful we'll survive with our strength."
"Roar!"
The Yimo let out a ferocious roar into the sky. Their sunken eye sockets were fixed on Xiao Ming above. Soon after, they rushed forward like a horde of locusts and charged towards him from all directions.
A flash of multi-colored light swept by. Those devil corpses fell like birds with broken wings and crashed to the ground. However, immediately afterwards even more devil corpses charged out from beneath the ground.
"Roar!"
A few clusters of huge Demonic Qi surged towards the sky. After which, dozens of skinny devil figures suddenly charged out from within. Though they were small in build, the density of their Demonic Qi far surpassed the devil corpses from before. These devil corpses were all Yimo Generals when they were alive, which were equivalent to Samsara Stage practitioners.
Six devil figures stood out among them. In contrast to the other devil corpses, their bodies were relatively well preserved. Evil Demonic Qi surged within their eye sockets and one could vaguely feel a faint pressure from them. It was evident that these devil figures were likely Yimo Kings when they were alive.
Rumble!
The land below began to tremble violently. At the same time, within the viscous Demonic Qi below, a three-thousand-meter devil figure slowly climbed out of the deepest part of the hole.
Demonic Qi raged across the sky.
A gigantic devil figure, enveloped in Demonic Qi, slowly emerged from the hole. It looked like a giant monster and was completely black in color. It had four large devil arms and no eyes. Instead, there was only a ferocious large mouth with sharp black teeth on its face. At the same time, Demonic Qi spewed out from its huge mouth like floodwater.
Xiao Ming's expression remained composed as he looked at the colossal monster. He calmly said, "The corpses of the Yimo Kings and even the corpse of a Cosmic Evil Devil King, huh! You three really have no intention of being human anymore, do you?"
"Keke..."
The three figures disappeared from view amidst the swirling Demonic Qi, and on the devil's massive face, the Demonic Qi slowly twisted as three human faces appeared.
They stared sinisterly at Xiao Ming in the sky and let out a shrill, distorted laugh, "As long as we have the power, we shall be the rulers of this world. Human or devil, what difference does it make?"
"Now, do you still dare to oppose us?"
"To dare to utter such words, it seems your devil master didn't tell you that before I dealt with King Tianming, I also took care of the Ninth Seat King of their Devil Prison."
"What!" The three leaders of Yuan Gate were stunned.
Xiao Ming in the sky above paid no attention to their reaction. He simply pointed lightly at the ground. A thousand-meter-long finger emerged and targeted the colossal devil form that the three leaders of Yuan Gate had transformed into.
"Evil Devil Shield!"
Without time to ponder the truth about the Ninth Seat King, the three Yuan Gate leaders shouted. Instantly, the surging Demonic Qi transformed into a three-thousand-meter black shield in front of the Cosmic Evil Devil King. The shield was covered with twisted devil faces and sinister Demonic Qi.
Boom…
The massive finger struck the black giant shield, creating a deafening sound that resonated through the area. The ground below cracked and split open under the impact.
The three faces of the colossal devil above still wore expressions of astonishment when they heard a cracking sound. The Evil Devil Shield in front of them shattered violently as the massive finger pierced directly through the sea of Demonic Qi they had brought forth.
The Cosmic Evil Devil King hastily raised his devil arms and quickly retreated. Several pitch-black devil figures tried to block the path of the finger.
Boom~~~
The sea of Demonic Qi churned wildly. Eventually, the finger was eroded away. However, the previously vast and encroaching sea of Demonic Qi was now reduced to barely enveloping half of Yuan Gate. Among the Yimo bodies and devil creatures, only the Cosmic Evil Devil King remained.
The ferocious roar of the three leaders of Yuan Gate abruptly ceased. The massive body of the Cosmic Evil Devil King was sent flying backward by the heavy blow. The Demonic Qi within it burst out in a chaotic manner, making it very difficult for them to maintain their demonic form. Unfortunately, there was no time for them to recover as a river of fire surged forward, sweeping across the land.
"I used the same strength on you that I used when I fought the Ninth Seat King, but I forgot that the Ninth Seat King had already been injured. I guess I held back too much earlier. Let's see if you can handle this." Xiao Ming said calmly. He wanted to capture them to nurture the demonic bead.
Boom!
A river of multi-colored fire swept through the sky, purifying all the Demonic Qi in its path. Meanwhile, the surging Demonic Qi surged crazily out of the Cosmic Evil Devil King's body. Many wild, beast-like roars were also emitted as the viscous Demonic Qi desperately gathered in its demonic hand.
The Cosmic Evil Devil King's body gradually shrank as the viscous Demonic Qi gathered frantically. As it shrank, an extremely terrifying ripple began to spread out from its demonic palm.
The Cosmic Evil Devil King finally stopped after shrinking to a size of three hundred meters. Viscous Demonic Qi slowly flowed out of its demonic palm like a river. Even space itself gradually collapsed under this viscous Demonic Qi River.
"Ten Thousand Devil Hell River, Devil Erodes All Things!"
Rumble!
A loud rumbling sound suddenly emerged from the viscous Demonic Qi River. After that, it began to swoosh forward. It was accompanied by earth-shattering Demonic Qi that rushed wildly towards the multi-colored fire river descending from the sky.
Buzz, buzz...
A buzzing sound was emitted from within the Demonic Qi River. Then, everyone felt a strange ripple from the Demonic Qi River. The overwhelming fire river rippled through the Demonic Qi River, instantly melting it at an astonishing speed, while the incomparably evil Demonic Qi scattered in all directions.
The Demonic Qi River didn't last long against the onslaught. It vanished completely, leaving no trace behind. The now even larger fire river rolled directly towards the location of the Cosmic Evil Devil King.
"It's impossible! No..."
On the corpse of the Cosmic Evil Devil King, the faces of the three leaders of Yuan Gate froze at this moment. Their originally brutal expressions were replaced by shock and disbelief. They finally showed expressions of desperation in the face of the oncoming attack.
Bang!
The titanic body of the Cosmic Evil Devil King suddenly exploded. A dazzling light resembling the scorching sun erupted from where its enormous body had exploded. When the surrounding overflowing Demonic Qi encountered this light, it immediately melted away at an astonishing speed like snow meeting lava.
After lingering for a few breaths, the intense light gradually dissipated. Countless anxious glances were immediately cast in that direction.
A gigantic devil corpse with only half of its body left lay on the ground as the light faded. Black devil blood was flowing from it, emitting a faint stench.
The originally strong Cosmic Evil Devil King was completely lifeless at this moment.
