Thump!

Suddenly, a sound of water breaking rang out above the energy lake, and several figures swiftly darted out, splashing Energy Pulp and creating a low rumble.

At this moment, many powerful figures were floating around the energy lake, and it seemed they were planning to rush into the bottom of the lake. When they saw Lin Langtian group rushing out, they were all somewhat surprised.

However, Lin Langtian ignored them and focused his solemn gaze on the energy lake below. Shortly after they came out, a terrifying wave seemed to erupt from below.

It's likely that a fierce battle must have broken out at the bottom of the energy lake at this moment.

However, Lin Langtian did not believe that relying on those people at the bottom of the lake would be able to do anything to that Demon Corpse whose strength had reached the Death Profound Stage Perfection.

"Bro Langtian, are we just leaving like this?" Mu Lingshan looked at the energy lake with regret in her big eyes and said.

"No matter how good a baby is, you still need to be alive to enjoy it."

Lin Langtian chuckled and flicked Mu Lingshan's smooth forehead, saying, "That thing is very powerful. If it goes berserk, even if we manage to defeat it with the help of so many strong people, the losses will be extremely heavy. Why should we suffer the consequences?"

"Alright." Hearing this, Mu Lingshan could only nod and mutter. After all, even in the Undying Sacred Whale Clan, only an ancestor at the Samsara Stage could deal with that Demon Corpse.

"Let's..."

Lin Langtian glanced around, about to leave with Mu Lingshan and the others, when his eyes suddenly narrowed. The energy lake below suddenly erupted with countless towering waves, each a thousand feet high, accompanied by a deafening roar and extremely violent energy fluctuations.

Giant waves surged into the sky and then crashed down with a thunderous roar, like a rain of energy that spread across an area of tens of thousands of feet.

This sudden turn of events clearly startled the powerful individuals who were planning to enter the bottom of the energy lake.

Then, they saw figures flying backwards in disarray from among the bursting Energy Pulp pillars, finally crashing heavily onto the lakeside, many spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Chaos immediately erupted around the energy lake. The powerful figures who had not yet entered the lake stared blankly at the scene, clearly not understanding why all these people had suddenly run out.

"Retreat quickly!"

A powerful figure, who had landed in a disheveled state, stared in terror at the energy lake that was stirring up towering waves, and screamed.

Boom!

Just as its cry fell, the energy lake suddenly exploded, sending up a gigantic wave thousands of feet high.

At the crest of the wave, a massive, Black Light Figure stood indifferently, surrounded by an evil Black Qi that dimmed the surroundings.

"What is that thing? Such a powerful energy fluctuation!"

Around the energy lake, countless gazes were filled with shock as they stared at the Black Light Figure at the crest of the wave, and exclamations of surprise and doubt quickly spread.

Lin Langtian watched this scene with a solemn expression. This Demon Corpse was indeed powerful; even so many strong people could not suppress it. It seemed that not fighting it was indeed the right thing to do.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian suddenly glanced at the distance, where the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan's forces had also emerged from the energy lake. Now, they were all staring solemnly at the Black Light Figure standing on the waves, seemingly finding it quite troublesome.

"Withdraw!"

Ao Xuan first glanced coldly at Lin Langtian, then looked at the Black Light Figure with apprehension and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the powerful members of the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan around them relaxed. It was naturally good that they didn't have to confront such a troublesome creature here.

"The Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan is planning to retreat."

Lin Langtian had been keeping an eye on the movements of the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan. As soon as he saw their posture, he understood that these guys didn't dare to confront the Demon Corpse in front of them head-on.

"Let's go too."

Seeing this, Lin Langtian made a decisive move and, without saying a word, led Mu Lingshan and the others to quickly head towards the depths of the cave.

"Boom!"

However, just as Lin Langtian set off, the Black Light Figure on the Energy Pulp suddenly felt a surge of demonic energy.

A slight ripple appeared in those emotionless eyes, and those dark eyes were cast in the direction where Lin Langtian and the others had left.

"Gentlemen, if we join forces to slay this fiend, the energy within its body, if it condenses into Energy Crystal, will surely be an unparalleled treasure!"

More powerful individuals gathered around the energy lake, followed by loud shouts filled with greed.

"Yes, we outnumber them and have the upper hand, so we don't need to be afraid of it!"

"Let's do it!"

As shouts rang out, hundreds of rainbow lights shot out, their powerful attacks engulfing the Black Light Figure like a torrential rain.

Hearing the sounds of battle behind him, Lin Langtian shook his head inwardly and increased his speed. Just as he was about to disappear into the horizon, he suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation coming from afar behind him.

Immediately afterwards, screams filled the air, each one filled with intense fear.

Clearly, the Black Light Figure had begun its slaughter once more.

"A bunch of idiots." Lin Langtian cursed under his breath, then moved faster, trying to escape this troublesome area as quickly as possible.

"Palace Lord, it's coming!" Liu Da and the other two said urgently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression changed. He then turned his head and indeed saw a black light streaking across the sky in the distance, chasing after him like lightning.

"Is this... me...?"

When Lin Langtian saw the approaching black light, his eyes narrowed. He knew that this situation was most likely caused by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Talisman within his body.

"Hurry up."

Lin Langtian urged, his speed suddenly increasing to the limit, and in a flash, he disappeared on the horizon.

The area around the energy lake was in complete disarray, with blood and corpses floating on its surface, making the lake appear much darker.

The remaining powerful figures around them stared in fear at the direction the Black Light Figure had disappeared into, daring not to pursue it any further.

"That thing seems to have followed in Lin Langtian's direction..." Three Flood Dragon Generals looked into the distance and suddenly said with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Ao Xuan was taken aback at first, but then a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He sneered, "What an unlucky kid. But it's fine. We can use that black corpse to deal with him and save ourselves some trouble."

"Walk."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and led the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan's forces from another direction, rushing towards the depths of the cave.

Seeing this, the other powerful figures around the lake followed one after another, but none of them dared to have any further thoughts about the black corpse. They understood that such a thing was simply too difficult to deal with.

Everything else, my life is the most important thing.

Call out!

Five streaks of rainbow light flashed across the sky like lightning, their speed creating a deep sonic boom.

Lin Langtian's expression was somewhat grim. He had pushed his speed to the limit, and he could feel the Black Light Figure behind them getting closer and closer. Clearly, it was faster than them.

"Palace Lord, be careful!"

Just as Lin Langtian was racking his brains for a way to escape, Liu Da suddenly cried out in alarm. He looked up sharply and saw the space in front of him distort.

A burly figure, exuding an evil and demonic aura, appeared out of nowhere.

The Black Light Figure stood on the void, its dark eyes fixed on Lin Langtian. After a moment, a flicker of emotion appeared in those emotionless eyes.

His body trembled slightly, as if he were struggling. Then, he slowly extended his palm, and an unusually hoarse and trembling voice came from his mouth.

"Are you the current owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol? Please help me..."

A hoarse and indistinct voice, carrying an extremely raw and weathered quality, slowly emerged from the mouth of the Black Light Figure.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian paused, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face, and the sharpness that had been gathering in his eyes dissipated considerably.

"You still possess sentience?" Lin Langtian stared intently at the Black Light Figure shrouded in evil Abyssal Demon Qi before him, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked.

Black Light Figure stood in mid-air, its dark eyes flashing with light, from which Lin Langtian could see a deep struggle.

Clearly, it seemed to be struggling with the Abyssal Demon Qi within its body, thus bringing itself back to its senses from a state of mind focused solely on killing.

"Please... help me get out of this predicament."

As Lin Langtian's gaze shifted, the Demon Corpse corpse trembled more violently, its dark eyes flickering with faint fluctuations, and its voice filled with a deep plea.

Looking at the endless sorrow in the eyes of the Demon Corpse, Lin Langtian seemed to understand something. His tense expression vanished, and he finally sighed softly and nodded slightly, "I will do my best."

Clearly, although this powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Perfection was corrupted by the Abyssal Demon Qi, he still retained a certain degree of consciousness, which is why he prayed to Lin Langtian to help him find liberation.

"Thank you!" Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, gratitude welled up in the Demon Corpse's dark eyes.

"LingShan, Liu Da, you two stay here to protect me and do not let anyone disturb me," Lin Langtian said, turning his head to Mu Lingshan and Liu Da.

"Yes, Palace Lord!" Liu Da and the other two nodded heavily, while Mu Lingshan pursed her lips and looked serious.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian waved his sleeve, and a barrier of Yuan energy appeared, enveloping Lin Langtian and the Demon Corpse within it.

Outside the Yuan Power Barrier, Liu Da and the other two, along with Mu Lingshan, sat cross-legged in mid-air, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.

Inside the Yuanli barrier, Lin Langtian stared at the Demon Corpse standing in front of him. The powerful Abyssal Demon Qi rising from the latter's body made his eyelids twitch involuntarily.

Immediately afterward, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and a black light and a silver light roared out from the top of his head, eventually transforming into two ancient runes that resembled black holes and silver light, respectively.

A powerful Devouring Power and Spatial Power emanated from the two runes, and all the energy in the surrounding area was annihilated and dissipated upon contact with that Devouring Power and Spatial Power.

"Devouring Ancestral Symbol..."

"Space Ancestral Talisman..."

The Rune Demon Corpse with the demonic markings stared at the suspended black hole runes, a hint of excitement appearing in its dark eyes. Its senses had indeed been correct.

"I never expected that the current controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol would be so powerful, accomplishing what the Hall Master has always dreamed of—controlling two Ancestral Talisman simultaneously." After the initial surprise, the Demon Corpse looked at Lin Langtian and said with great astonishment.

"Lord of the Hall Master, is it the Reincarnation Cave Mansion Lord...?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow and thought to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, the master of this Reincarnation Cave Mansion is one of the previous Devouring Ancestral Symbol Masters.

As the most mysterious of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol can indeed contain other Ancestral Talisman. Unexpectedly, after the master of the Reincarnation Cave Mansion controlled the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he even tried to devour other Ancestral Talisman, but obviously the result was a failure.

Lin Langtian shook his head at this. It was already extremely rare for an ordinary person to possess even one Ancestral Talisman. To be able to control two Ancestral Talisman at the same time was indeed extremely rare. In the entire Heavenly Profound Continent, probably only he and Lin Dong could do it.

"Senior, please be patient. If you resist, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold you here."

Lin Langtian's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "This Rune Demon Corpse is at the peak of the Death Profound Stage Perfection. If it goes berserk, even if I possess two Ancestral Talisman, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to trap it."

Hearing Lin Langtian's words, the Rune Demon Corpse with the demonic pattern nodded, and then sat down cross-legged in mid-air. Suddenly, a devouring power surged out. Although this devouring power was not as orthodox as the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, it was still extremely formidable.

Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"By the grace of the Hall Master, I once cultivated a top-tier martial art called the ' Great Devouring Technique,' which was created by the Hall Master based on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

"This martial art is naturally inferior to the orthodox Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but the devouring power cultivated from it is still extremely strong." The Demon Corpse seemed to know Lin Langtian's doubts, and explained while circulating its devouring power.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian saw that after the Demon Corpse activated this devouring power, the Abyssal Demon Qi emanating from its body surface quietly subsided, and the demonic patterns covering its body also dimmed at this moment.

Clearly, he was using the devouring power within his body to suppress the Abyssal Demon Qi with all his might.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol is incredibly powerful. This Hall Master was able to develop a pirated version of the 'Devouring Power' and create a top-tier technique like the ' Great Devouring Technique,' demonstrating his extraordinary talent and ambition.

After a moment of reflection, Lin Langtian breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, with a thought, the Space Ancestral Talisman in the sky began to flicker, and a Spatial Power condensed out.

On the other side, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol was also rotating at the same time, and black light filled with Devouring Power rapidly condensed within the black hole.

"Go."

Lin Langtian's face was tense. He pointed his finger in the air and shouted a soft shout, which was also a loud shout from his mouth.

Call out!

As his shout fell, the sky shone brightly, and two beams of energy, each a different color but containing astonishing fluctuations, roared down and crashed down onto the body of the Rune Demon Corpse, which was sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

Sizzle!

As the power of these two Ancestral Talisman descended, white smoke immediately rose from the body of the Rune Demon Corpse, and a shrill scream that sent chills down one's spine also rang out!
