Uproot the Grass and Eliminate the Roots

"Devouring Demon Statue!"

Lin Langtian roared, his dark golden blood-red eyes filled with evil light. The space behind him seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and a huge, Evil Demon stepped out from it.

The golem had no face; it only had a huge, dark gold blood-red eye between its eyebrows, which looked so bizarre it sent chills down one's spine.

' Devouring Demon Statue ' is a martial art that Lin Langtian inherited from the Elder of the Old Man Yi Mo. It is an extremely powerful killing move. In the original timeline, Hua Chen and Xu Xiu, the senior brothers of the previous Yuan Gate Three Young Kings, used this move, which posed a great threat to Lin Dong.

However, the Devouring Demon Statue that Lin Langtian was currently using was somewhat different. The dark gold blood-red eye between the statue's brows resembled an unfathomable vortex, making it extremely eerie and terrifying.

In response, Lin Langtian also thought of the mysterious Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror within his body. Whether it was the condensation of the Demon Seed or this special Evil Demon Power, it was clearly related to this.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian temporarily put the thought aside. He stepped into the void, with demonic energy surging behind him. Looking at the Giant Shadow of the Thousand-Hand Wood God, the fierceness on his face intensified, and then he suddenly clenched his fist.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Devouring Demon Statue let out a fierce roar, its dark golden blood eyes bursting with dazzling black light, and it charged out with an extremely ferocious posture.

In the next instant, the Devouring Demon Statue tore through space and crashed into the Wood God Giant Shadow wielding a thousand giant hands in an extremely shocking manner.

"Bang!"

The collision was completed in an instant. In a flash, a loud bang resounded through the sky, and then a dazzling black and green light spread out, filling Lin Langtian's entire eyeballs.

At the same time, the sky above was filled with black and green light, and an indescribable violent fluctuation was causing the mountain below the two to tremble.

"Boom!!"

A blinding light shone down from the sky. As the energy of heaven and earth raged, the two colossal beings, the Devouring Demon Statue and the Thousand-Hand Wood God, finally succumbed to the collision of energy.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion, accompanied by an extremely terrifying storm, swept out from mid-air, causing the space to tremble as the storm passed!

"Bang!"

The terrifying energy waves, like ocean waves, swept wildly in all directions. After a three-minute stalemate, the Devouring Demon Statue and the Thousand-Hand Wood God exploded.

As a result, the mountain range trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck, and massive cracks, each hundreds of feet long, spread out like a spider web. All the monsters in the mountain range were thrown into chaos at that moment.

The power of the battle between two experts comparable to those at the Life Profound Stage was extremely terrifying.

"Pfft!"

Faced with this terrifying energy storm, even Lin Langtian and Lin Langtian Mu Ku were unable to dodge in time. They were violently struck by the energy, and blood spurted from their mouths.

Immediately, the two of them were like kites with broken strings, falling involuntarily to the ground, slamming into it and shooting backwards. They were like two black lines, traveling hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.

With a short, violent cough, Lin Langtian then coughed up mouthfuls of blood. His face was extremely pale, and his chest was covered in blood, indicating that his injury was quite serious.

Although Lin Langtian's combat power was greatly enhanced after activating the Demon Seed, and he was even able to fight against experts in the Life Profound Stage, Mu Ku was, after all, the leader of the Yuan Sect. Not only did he have extraordinary trump cards, but his own foundation was also very solid.

It is already quite remarkable that Lin Langtian has managed to end up with both sides suffering heavy losses.

"However, this guy must die!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lin Langtian was surrounded by flames. His powerful body had helped him withstand the initial damage. After catching his breath, he looked at Mu Ku, who was also seriously injured, and a ruthless look appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes.

Although tens of thousands of years have passed since that ancient great war, causing most people on the continent to be unaware of the existence of the Evil Demon, Mu Ku still wields considerable power within the Yuan Sect. If someone were to investigate further in the future, they would surely be able to find some clues.

Moreover, if Lin Langtian hadn't had so many trump cards, he would have already died at the hands of the other party. Given his personality, he would naturally not be willing to let Mu Ku go.

Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian did not hesitate any longer. Then, to Mu Ku's astonishment, he sat cross-legged and immediately changed his hand seals. A rune with an ancient feel quickly floated out from the top of his head.

With a single wriggling motion, the ancient rune swelled in the wind, transforming into a massive black hole above Lin Langtian's head.

"The Way of Devouring, devouring all things!"

A deep shout suddenly rang out in Lin Langtian's mind, and then the black hole began to writhe rapidly, a powerful Devouring Power surging out from it.

Under the sweeping force of that Devouring Power, the Yuan energy within a radius of tens of thousands of miles seemed to be swallowed up by that strange black hole.

"Call out!"

Under Mu Ku's shocked gaze, the energy swallowed by the giant black hole was being continuously transferred into Lin Langtian's body, replenishing his depleted Dantian.

"This is... the Devouring Ancestral Symbol! How could you possibly possess the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!?"

Upon seeing the mysterious and ancient runes above Lin Langtian's head, Mu Ku was first taken aback, then seemed to realize something, and said with an extremely shocked expression.

As the most powerful treasure in the Heavenly Profound Continent, the Ancestral Talisman enjoys a great reputation. The appearance of each Ancestral Talisman will attract countless powerful people to flock to it and fiercely compete for it.

After all, facts speak louder than words. Whether it was the one from the Northern Xuan Region or the one from the Chaotic Demon Sea, they were both super strong individuals on the continent who controlled the Ancestral Talisman.

In the face of such a powerful figure, even the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect were somewhat inadequate!

However, to Mu Ku's surprise, Lin Langtian, a nobody and a young man, was actually a master of Ancestral Talisman, and the most mysterious of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!

Thinking of this, Mu Ku stared at Lin Langtian with an extremely gloomy expression, gritting his teeth and saying, "Boy, who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in joining my Yuan Sect!?"

Neither the strange power Lin Langtian just displayed nor the Devouring Ancestral Symbol before him could be mastered by a genius from the Low-level Dynasty, which is why Mu Ku asked such a question.

Faced with Mu Ku's questioning, Lin Langtian gave a cold smile. At this moment, after the feedback from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, although he had not yet recovered to his peak state, his Yuan Power had recovered by 30%, which was enough to continue fighting.

Standing up, Lin Langtian spun his hand, and a Devouring Power formed in his palm before he brought down a claw.

"Devouring Claw!"

With a single claw strike, it seemed as if countless black holes were forming under Lin Langtian's hand, then transforming into an extremely fierce gust of wind, grabbing towards the Mu Ku.

Upon seeing this, Mu Ku's face turned deathly pale. Without hesitation, he turned and ran. He and Lin Langtian had both been injured, but who knew that the latter would have such an unexpected and powerful trump card as the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

After using the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to restore his Yuan Power, he was no longer able to resist Lin Langtian's continued attack.

At this point, Mu Ku naturally didn't care about the dignity of a Deputy Chief. He had no other choice but to flee for his life.

However, after Lin Langtian used the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he was clearly determined to eliminate the threat completely, so he naturally wouldn't let him escape. The Devouring Claw tore through the sky and enveloped Mu Ku. Then, the space distorted, like a prison, and grabbed Mu Ku's body.

Bang!

As the claw-like wind struck, the Mu Ku offered no resistance whatsoever, and its body exploded into a cloud of blood mist, its shrill screams echoing throughout the world.

Blood mist filled the air, and suddenly a rainbow light burst forth from it. As a powerful cultivator in the Life Profound Stage, Mu Ku had already cultivated Nascent Soul. Although his physical body was destroyed, he did not die on the spot.

"Trying to leave?"

However, the rainbow light had just shot out when it was enveloped by a beam of devouring light and was finally caught by Lin Langtian.

"Lin Langtian, spare me! I'm willing to serve you as my master!" The rainbow light struggled fiercely in Lin Langtian's hand, its mournful cry echoing continuously.

"It's too late to say that now!"

Lin Langtian sneered, clenched his palm, and the devouring beam of light transformed into runes, sealing the withered Nascent Soul of the Mu Ku, and then threw it into the Mirror Inner World the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror.

The Nascent Soul is quite precious, and now that he has obtained a complete primordial Nascent Soul of Life Profound Stage expert, Lin Langtian naturally will not let it go for nothing.

In addition, the Universe Bag that had been abandoned in the corner of the grass after the explosion of Mu Ku's body was also carefully kept by Lin Langtian as a trophy.

As the head of the Yuan Sect, Mu Ku's collection should be quite valuable...

Just as Lin Langtian was carefully finishing up, at the Yuan Domain Yuan Sect.

Deep within the Yuan Sect, three mountains float in mid-air, with countless rays of light shooting out from them like the sun, illuminating the entire Yuan Sect.

These three mountains are sacred places in the hearts of countless Yuan Sect disciples, because they are the places where the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect go into seclusion.

The gaze is drawn to the mountain on the far right, where a Broken-Top Stone Tower stands deep within the mountain. The Stone Tower bears the marks of time, mottled and weathered.

At the top of this Stone Tower, a figure dressed in a purple-gold robe sat cross-legged like an old monk in meditation. There was no fluctuation of elemental energy around him, yet, for some reason, if one paid close attention, one would notice that the elemental energy fluctuations of this entire area seemed to change in sync with the figure's breathing.

The silence lasted for an unknown period of time, until suddenly a faint clicking sound was heard. Then, the figure sitting quietly seemed to stir slightly, and the eyes that had been closed for so long slowly opened.

Boom!

As those eyes opened, dark clouds surged in the sky, a fierce wind arose, and the leaves on the entire mountain danced wildly.

The figure had silver hair and eyes that conveyed a sense of vicissitude and depth, but its face was as white as a baby's, a combination that looked extremely strange.

A hand slowly emerged from the sleeve of the figure, containing two broken jade pieces. On the jade pieces, two faces could be vaguely seen, namely Mu Ku, the Wood Division Vice Chief, and Qin Lang, the Spirit General.

The silver-haired man gazed silently at the shattered jade pieces. A glint of light seemed to flash in his deep pupils, a light that possessed the power to pierce through heaven and earth.

"Someone actually dared to kill the leader of my Yuan Sect. I really don't know who this person is. I have no choice but to meet them."

The silver-haired man smiled faintly, then closed his eyes again. A golden light burst forth from between his brows, tearing open the space in front of him. The golden light then transformed into a shadow and swept into the Space Rift.

Blood Horn Region.

After Lin Langtian finished collecting his spoils and erasing his own aura with the Vermilion Bird Sky Burning Flame, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one else was around. He then put the demonic Demon Shadow and the Beast Puppet into the Mirror Inner World and prepared to leave.

Mu Ku and Qin Lang were not ordinary people. Now that they have been killed, the Yuan Sect will naturally not sit idly by. In the original Lin Dong, the three Lin brothers killed two Spirit General and one Yuan Sect Elder, which attracted the crazy pursuit of Ren Yuanzi, one of the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect.

If it weren't for the Dao Sect Master secretly helping Lin Dong and his companions, the three of them would probably have been completely defeated.

The killing of Qin Lang and Mu Ku is a significant blow to the Yuan Sect, so it's best to leave this place as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian no longer hesitated, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the mountains.

As Lin Langtian left, the area fell silent once more, with only the strong smell of blood lingering in the air.

This silence lasted for a long time, about half a day, before the space suddenly rippled, and then a crack appeared, from which a golden figure slowly walked out.

This person is none other than Ren Yuanzi, one of the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect.

His gaze swept across the area below, then settled on the Mu Ku and the spot where Qin Lang had fallen, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Even the Nascent Soul was completely shattered. What a swift and decisive move."

Ren Yuanzi snorted coldly, a sinister look appearing in his eyes. A Spirit General plus a Deputy Chief was no small blow to the Yuan Sect, and such behavior was a slap in the face to the Yuan Sect, the leading force in the Eastern Xuan Region.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuanzi narrowed his eyes. Just as he was preparing to use the clues around him to search for the mastermind behind this and make him pay a heavy price, he suddenly discovered something, his expression changed immediately, and he said in surprise.

"This is... the aura of Evil Demon, and also, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"

In this battlefield, Ren Yuanzi keenly sensed the power of the Evil Demon and the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, causing his expression to change constantly as he pondered in his heart.

"Could it be that Evil Demon and a great being Devouring Ancestral Symbol clashed, and their fierce battle accidentally killed Mu Ku and Qin Lang..."

This ' Ren Yuanzi ' guess came to mind, because only in this way could the Evil Demon Power and the Devouring Power coexist in this place.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuanzi's eyes flickered, and after speculating for a while, he gave up the idea of pursuing the real culprit.

Because neither the Evil Demon nor the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol were beings he could easily provoke, Qin Lang and Mu Ku could be considered to have died in vain...
