Demonic Emperor Lock

"Oh, you're lending me the Space Ancestral Talisman?"

Upon hearing Tian Yuanzi's words, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression and asked, "What does the Sect Leader mean by taking out the Space Ancestral Talisman from Zhou Tong's body and lending it to me temporarily?"

Tian Yuanzi smiled faintly and said, "That's right. Although the Space Ancestral Talisman already has an owner and will not choose a new one, I can order Zhou Tong to take out the Space Ancestral Talisman."

Then, I will use my supreme divine power to seal the Space Ancestral Talisman within your body. During this period, you will be able to freely use the power of the Space Ancestral Talisman. Of course, this seal will only last for about a month.

If you fail to assassinate Lin Qingtan within this month, the Space Ancestral Talisman will automatically return to Zhou Tong's body, which means your mission will end in failure.

As soon as Tian Yuanzi finished speaking, Lin Langtian cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Sect Leader, rest assured, if we have the help of the Space Ancestral Talisman, I will definitely do my best to eliminate Lin Qingtan!"

With the Space Ancestral Talisman about to be obtained, Lin Langtian naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, so he patted his chest and confidently declared.

Regardless of how the assassination is handled in the Northern Xuan Region, as long as the Space Ancestral Talisman obtained, Lin Langtian can use the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror to copy it.

The copied Space Ancestral Talisman is not only exactly the same as the original, but more importantly, it belongs entirely to Lin Langtian.

At that time, even if he had to betray the Yuan Sect, Lin Langtian would have no regrets.

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, gave him a deep look, and then, as Lin Langtian began to feel uneasy, he smiled faintly.

"As expected of the most outstanding disciple of our Yuan Sect in the past hundred years, I believe in you. If you can successfully assassinate Lin Qingtan, the position of head of the Yuan Sect's Enforcement Department will be given to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian feigned gratitude and excitement, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader. This disciple is willing to go through fire and water for the Yuan Sect and for the Sect Leader!"

Hearing Lin Langtian's generous words, Tian Yuanzi smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly, then shifted his gaze to Zhou Tong and said, "Next, we need to take out the Space Ancestral Talisman and seal it in your body."

Upon hearing the Space Ancestral Talisman, Lin Langtian's breathing quickened considerably. He then gazed intently at Zhou Tong, his heart filled with anticipation.

The next moment, Tian Yuanzi let out a cold snort, and then with a flick of his sleeve, Zhou Tong's pale and numb face suddenly showed an expression of extreme pain.

As this look of pain appeared, the black robe covering Zhou Tong suddenly ripped open, and what happened next horrified Lin Langtian.

Beneath Zhou Tong's black robe, there was not the flesh and blood body one might expect; on the contrary, there was no flesh and blood at all, but a black skeleton.

On those bones, Lin Langtian could see dense, eerie black patterns. These demonic patterns were wrapped around Zhou Tong's bones layer by layer, like maggots clinging to bones, impossible to erase.

Inside the black bones, one could see the still-beating internal organs, which were also completely black, clearly indicating that they had been thoroughly corrupted by demonic energy.

What shocked Lin Langtian the most was that inside Zhou Tong's chest cavity, a black heart was beating gently at an extremely slow speed, and that black heart exuded endless evil.

No one could have imagined that such a horrifying scene would be hidden beneath that intact head.

Within that strange body, one could see intricate meridians, within which a silver light surged—the power of the Space Ancestral Talisman.

Looking at Zhou Tong's body, only his meridians have not yet been eroded by demonic energy, which is probably the reason why he was able to retain the last bit of consciousness.

Black demonic patterns intertwined within Zhou Tong's body, vaguely forming an extremely evil demonic lock. It was this demonic lock that had harmed Zhou Tong to this state.

"Oh, this... could it be the Demonic Emperor Lock?" Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian was immediately horrified and thought to himself.

As far as Lin Langtian knew, the Demonic Emperor Lock was a cruel method created by the Demonic Emperor. Once this thing was applied to the body, the person's mind would be gradually eroded, and their Nascent Soul would be sealed inside the body, unable to escape for eternity, and even unable to reincarnate.

During the First Heaven-Earth War, those Evil Demon, fearing the reincarnation of some Reincarnation Stage experts, placed the Demonic Emperor Lock on all the Reincarnation Realm experts they captured, extinguishing all their chances of survival. This was extremely vicious.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but frown slightly. For some reason, seeing the Demonic Emperor Lock gave him a vague sense of unease.

Could this borrowed ' Space Ancestral Talisman ' be a poison disguised as honey...?

As Lin Langtian pondered in the dark, another change occurred within Zhou Tong's body, and a large amount of evil black mist emanated from his body.

The black mist floated in the air without making any other movement. However, just as Lin Langtian was about to lose his patience, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he saw a silver light flash out from within the black mist.

"Space Ancestral Talisman!"

Seeing this, Lin Langtian thought to himself.

"Hmph, trying to run away?"

However, the moment the silver light appeared, a cold glint flashed in Tian Yuanzi's eyes. He formed a hand seal with one hand and shouted, "Demonic Emperor Lock!"

Buzz!

The drifting black mist suddenly erupted with terrifying demonic energy, then transformed into countless black rays of light that shot out.

As the light intertwined, it seemed to transform into an extremely evil magic lock, which, as it coiled around, instantly sealed off the silver light once more.

"Lin Langtian, I have sealed the Space Ancestral Talisman and am ready to receive it!" After taking control of the Space Ancestral Talisman, Tian Yuanzi immediately looked at Lin Langtian and shouted.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he cursed.

That Cunning Old Man, as expected, had ill intentions. He actually attached the Space Ancestral Talisman along with the Demonic Emperor Lock to him. How insidious and despicable!

Tian Yuanzi probably doesn't know that he knows just as much about the Demonic Emperor Lock Lin Langtian as he does.

Once someone is tainted by this substance, even a Reincarnation Stage expert cannot escape it. He, a mere Life Profound Stage, would likely be controlled by the Yuan Sect.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but curse himself for being careless. No matter what, he couldn't underestimate these top heroes of the continent.

Clearly, no matter how loyal he appeared, he could not win Tian Yuanzi's trust. The latter did not let go of even the slightest suspicion and directly used the Demonic Emperor Lock to control him.

"Oh, what, you want to back out?" Seeing Lin Langtian's hesitant look, Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a strange voice.

His expression kept changing. Under Tian Yuanzi's aggressive gaze, Lin Langtian gritted his teeth and thought to himself that fortune favors the bold, and he would risk everything for the Space Ancestral Talisman.

"This disciple is willing," Lin Langtian said solemnly.

"Hehe, that's good. Extend your arm," Tian Yuanzi said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian did as instructed. The next moment, the Space Ancestral Talisman and the Demonic Emperor Lock detached from Zhou Tong's body and then shifted their target, frantically eroding Lin Langtian's arm.

As the Demonic Emperor Lock entered his body, Lin Langtian immediately felt an extremely evil and thick mist surge out. This viscous demonic energy frantically drilled into his bones and meridians, even trying to rush into Lin Langtian's mind and control his consciousness.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's expression changed slightly. However, just as he was thinking about how to defend himself, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror in his body suddenly released a black-gold light.

Under this light, the thick, evil mist released by the Demonic Emperor Lock began to dissipate, turning into nothingness in just a few minutes.

However, just as the Black Gold Light was about to completely annihilate the Demonic Emperor Lock, it was stopped by Lin Langtian. After all, once the Demonic Emperor Lock was destroyed, Tian Yuanzi would immediately notice, and everyone would know that Lin Langtian was behind it.

"The Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror truly lives up to its reputation as a life-saving charm..." Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief upon sensing the Demonic Emperor Lock, which had quieted down and was even trembling slightly.

It seems he won his gamble this time.

Tian Yuanzi that Lin Langtian was unharmed, Tian Yuanzi frowned slightly, and without saying a word, he placed his hand on Lin Langtian's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian felt a surge of spiritual probing into his body.

Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian immediately tensed up. He quickly hid Spirit Aunt and the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror.

However, as if he had thought of something, Lin Langtian deliberately revealed the Demon Seed.

Sure enough, after scanning the area with his Mental Power, Tian Yuanzi was taken aback when he sensed the special Demon Seed within Lin Langtian's body. He then murmured, "Oh, the Demon Seal has already transformed into Demon Seed. Could it be that the Demon Seed has some resistance to the Demonic Emperor Lock?"

The Demonic Emperor Lock was specifically designed by the Demonic Emperor to deal with powerful human beings. Therefore, it naturally has a certain degree of immunity to Evil Demon. The existence of the Demon Seed clearly led the Demonic Emperor Lock to mistakenly believe that Lin Langtian was Evil Demon.

Thinking of this, Tian Yuanzi suddenly realized what was going on and dispelled his doubts about Lin Langtian, then slowly withdrew his hand.

"Sect Leader, what's wrong?" At this moment, Lin Langtian deliberately showed a look of confusion on his face and asked.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just wanted to check the sealing status of the Space Ancestral Talisman within your body." Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised his arm, and the black light on his arm faded away, gradually returning to normal.

Then Lin Langtian slowly opened his palm, and a ball of silver light flashed, emanating an ancient aura—it was the Space Ancestral Talisman.

"So this is the Space Ancestral Talisman..." Lin Langtian said with undisguised joy in his eyes.

Of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, the one that best suits his taste is probably the Space Ancestral Talisman. After all, controlling the Spatial Power is very tempting to him, and the Space Ancestral Talisman has a very powerful function, whether fighting enemies or escaping.

"The Space Ancestral Talisman controls the Spatial Power. It can not only travel through space, but also silently launch Blade of Space to assassinate targets. I think that with your strength and talent, the Space Ancestral Talisman will surely shine in your hands."

However, you must remember that you only have one month. After one month, regardless of whether you succeed in assassinating Lin Qingtan or not, you must return to the Yuan Sect.

"Remember, do not reveal your Yuan Sect identity casually, lest it implicate the sect," Tian Yuanzi reminded him.

Assassinating a core disciple of the Super Sect is no small matter, especially since Lin Qingtan is the precious disciple of Bo Xuan. Tian Yuanzi doesn't want to lose more than he gains.

Hearing that Tian Yuanzi was acting so secretly and dishonestly, Lin Langtian felt extremely contemptuous. However, he nodded and said, "Sect Leader, rest assured, your disciple will certainly live up to your expectations."

Tian Yuanzi smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you can go now. Prepare to go to the Northern Xuan Region today. With the help of the Space Ancestral Talisman, we can save time on the journey."

"Yes!"

Lin Langtian's eyes flickered slightly. He cupped his hands to Tian Yuanzi again, then carefully withdrew and left the main hall shortly afterward.

Watching Lin Langtian's departing figure, Tian Yuanzi smiled faintly, but the strange look in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Senior brother, is it worth going to such lengths for Lin Langtian?"

The space behind Tian Yuanzi flickered slightly, and then two figures slowly walked out from it. They were none other than Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi, who were also the Three Grand Masters. It was the latter who spoke.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yuanzi smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you also leave a hidden piece on this child? That Demon Seal must have been planted by you. I suppose you don't know that the Demon Seal has already transformed into Demon Seed within this child's body."

"Oh, it's transformed into Demon Seed?"

Upon hearing this, Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi were taken aback, and then a look of surprise appeared on their usually calm faces.

It should be known that the power of the Evil Demon is extremely evil and powerful, and ordinary humans simply cannot withstand it. Over the years, among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect, only the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings of the previous generation had the Demon Seed planted in their bodies.

Unexpectedly, Lin Langtian had only been imprinted with the Demon Seal for a short time before the Demon Seed was successfully born.

"In that case, Lin Langtian does indeed have potential. No wonder he was able to wipe out the Heavenly Profound Sect." Di Yuanzi said with a smile.

The Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect had long since become henchmen of the Evil Demon. In their hearts, they undoubtedly worshipped and even fanatically admired the power of the Evil Demon, firmly believing that the Evil Demon Power was invincible.

Lin Langtian is able to control the Demon Seed Power. Even though he is still a pawn, his value has increased exponentially. Even if the Yuan Gate Three Young Kings had not perished at Lin Dong's hands, they would no longer be comparable to Lin Langtian.

"This child has enormous potential, which reminds me of Zhou Tong. That's why I wanted to use the Demonic Emperor Lock to control him. However, since Demon Seed has also been born within him, and with the Demonic Emperor Lock constantly binding him, he will likely become a loyal subordinate of the Demonic Emperor in the future," Tian Yuanzi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Di Yuanzi and Ren Yuanzi smiled slightly. Back then, it was only after witnessing the Evil Demon Power that they were gradually bewitched and ended up colluding with Evil Demon.

Therefore, they firmly believed that Lin Langtian could not escape the temptation of that Evil Demon power.

"Hehe, the Demon Seed Power, the mysterious water shield, and the Space Ancestral Talisman, I hope Lin Langtian can give me a surprise..." Tian Yuanzi narrowed his eyes and murmured in a gloomy voice in the hall.
