Laugh!

Two beams of light intertwined and shone upon the body of the Rune Demon Corpse.

As the light shone upon it, the Abyssal Demon Qi permeating the latter's body immediately erupted into puffs of white smoke.

With a hissing sound, the evil energy began to dissipate at a visible speed.

Clearly, the combined power of the two Ancestral Talisman is quite strong in suppressing these Abyssal Demon Qi.

Amidst the swirling smoke, the Rune Demon Corpse emitted continuous, shrill screams, suggesting that this erasure had caused it considerable pain.

Lin Langtian's expression was solemn as he focused his mind on the three divine artifacts. Although the Abyssal Demon Qi was dissipating, there was no sign of relaxation in his eyes.

Because he knew very well that this Demon Corpse was different from any he had encountered before; its body was also engraved with demonic runes.

These demonic runes, like shackles, tightly bound the Abyssal Demon Qi within his body. Therefore, without erasing those runes, trying to eliminate the Abyssal Demon Qi would be nothing but wishful thinking.

Roar!

A mournful roar echoed continuously. The Demon Corpse pressed its palms against the void, its entire body trembling violently. A thick killing intent emanated from it, but it was suppressed by force.

If he couldn't suppress his killing intent and injured Lin Langtian at this moment, he would probably never be able to escape.

"Watch out, the demonic runes within me are about to launch a counterattack!"

The Demon Corpse corpse trembled, then suddenly raised its head, and evil Black Qi surged out of its dark eyes like a tide. A hoarse, strained voice followed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's heart tightened, and he became even more focused and ready to face the situation.

Boom!

Shortly after the Demon Corpse finished speaking, the demonic runes surrounding his body suddenly began to flash rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, those demonic runes began to wriggle on his body like black worms, looking extremely eerie from a distance.

Whoosh!

The writhing demonic runes suddenly burst forth from the Demon Corpse, and then the black light gathered wildly. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a massive, hundred-foot-tall dark creature in Lin Langtian's slightly astonished gaze.

This dark creature was entirely black, with black flames rising from its body, and its black eyes were filled with evil Black Qi and killing intent.

This dark creature was clearly formed from the demonic runes on the body of the Demon Corpse!

"Foolish humans!"

As soon as the dark creature revealed itself, its black eyes, filled with killing intent, locked onto Lin Langtian in mid-air, and a deep roar rang out, its killing intent overwhelming.

Bang!

Black flames condensed on the dark creature's body, transforming into a black flame spear that tore through the sky and hurtled towards Lin Langtian with lightning speed.

"Good thing you came out!"

Seeing this, Lin Langtian remained calm. This dark creature was formed from the demonic runes on the body of the Demon Corpse. If it continued to hide inside the Demon Corpse, it would indeed be difficult for Lin Langtian to completely eliminate it.

However, it has now voluntarily broken free from the Demon Corpse's body, which has given Lin Langtian the best opportunity.

Furthermore, this dark creature is very likely formed from the demonic energy released by a 'General' level Evil Demon, which could be a great tonic for Lin Langtian's Evil Eye!

"Evil God Demonic Eye, Demon Sword!"

Lin Langtian changed his hand seals and let out a low shout. Then, the evil black eye between his eyebrows slowly opened, and a black light sword filled with demonic energy shot out from the eye, colliding violently with the black flame spear.

Sizzle!

At the moment of impact, no earth-shattering sound was heard, but the black flame spear was annihilated by the Demon Sword at an astonishing speed, and finally turned into nothingness.

"Bind!"

Shattering the black flame spear, Lin Langtian shouted again, and a black beam of light shot out from his Evil Eye, which then transformed into hundreds of rays of light that dispersed outwards.

These hundreds of optical fibers condensed into chains of black light, which then traced dazzling trajectories in the sky before finally being pulled taut, binding the dark creature within them.

Roar!

The dark creature let out a deafening roar, and black flames soared up. However, the black light chains formed by the power of the Evil Eye broke through them all as the flames reached out.

"Damn it, what kind of power is this? How can a lowly being like you possess such pure Evil Energy?"

Faced with Lin Langtian's Evil Eye power, the dark creature's face immediately showed extreme shock and panic, because in Lin Langtian's Evil Eye, his power General-level Abyssal Demon was crushed like never before.

Faced with such Evil Eye power, even the demonic energy of those King-level Abyssal Demon would probably be at a disadvantage.

"Evil God Demonic Eye, Bind!"

Lin Langtian remained silent, calmly watching the struggling dark creature. He pointed his finger into the air, and a dazzling and powerful demonic light emanated from his Evil Eye, pouring down on the dark creature like dark rays.

Bang bang bang!

This time, when the powerful black light fell on the dark creature, it directly triggered a chain reaction of explosions on the surface of the latter's body. The evil Abyssal Demon Qi was blasted into dimness and dissipation.

Hoo hoo!

With such a fierce bombardment, the previously ferocious dark creature's momentum immediately weakened considerably, and a look of fear flashed in its dark eyes. Clearly, it had not expected that Lin Langtian's Evil Eye would so overwhelmingly suppress the Abyssal Demon Qi.

"Evil God Demonic Eye, Slay!"

Lin Langtian gazed at the dark creature that was weakening under the constant attacks of the Evil God Demonic Eye, took a deep breath, and the next moment, the Evil God Demonic Eye suddenly shot out a huge black beam of light.

Buzz!

As Lin Langtian's shout fell, the black beam of light began to writhe rapidly, then transformed into a circular blade. With a hiss, it tore through space, like a circular blade, and slashed down from the top of the dark creature's head at an astonishing speed.

A deep sound rang out, and the rotating black hole pierced directly through the dark creature's body. A black line spread across the creature's body, and then with a bang, it exploded in two. Immediately, an extremely shrill scream came from the dark creature's mouth.

"Slay again!"

Lin Langtian's eyes were icy cold. With a thought, the Black Hole Blade flashed out again, cutting the dark creature into hundreds of pieces in just a few breaths...

Even after being beaten like this, the fragments were still wriggling, emanating an evil Black Qi that made them seem like centipedes that, though dead, did not die.

"Devour!"

Lin Langtian gave a cold shout, and suddenly the Evil Eye burst out with a suction force. After the dark creature was cut into hundreds of pieces, it was obviously powerless to resist this suction force.

In an instant, drawn by this suction force, the hundreds of fragments of demonic creatures were swallowed up by the Evil Eye.

After absorbing this 'General' level demonic energy, the Evil God Demonic Eye between Lin Langtian's brows became even more profound, and a deep and terrifying aura was faintly revealed, making people's hearts tremble.

"Damn it, who are you? How can you devour my power!"

In just a few breaths, half of the fragments were destroyed. The remaining fragments seemed to sense the danger and hurriedly gathered together, transforming into a much more illusory dark creature. It was clear that it had been severely injured by Lin Langtian.

An angry roar came from its mouth, but a deep fear welled up in its black eyes. Then it turned into black light and charged at the Demon Corpse again, clearly wanting to return to the latter's body.

"Laugh!"

However, just as it charged toward the Demon Corpse, demonic energy flickered in the Evil God Demonic Eye, and then a giant black mouth shot out from its body, landing heavily on the head of the dark creature.

Bang!

The giant maw slashed out, and the dark creature was swallowed whole, utterly powerless to resist.

"It's all over." Lin Langtian said silently as he watched the dark creature being swallowed.

Ah!

A desperate scream of despair rang out as the giant black maw began to chew, and with each chew, the screams of the dark creature could be heard.

However, a few minutes later, the screams of the dark creature slowly faded away. At the same time, the black maw stopped chewing, transformed into a black light, and streaked into the Evil Eye ...

After absorbing the demonic energy of the dark creature, the Evil Eye, as if it had eaten and drunk its fill, slowly closed, then turned into a black line and disappeared between Lin Langtian's eyebrows.

Lin Langtian stroked the vanished Evil God Demonic Eye on his forehead. Although the Evil Eye seemed to have entered a state of 'rest', Lin Langtian had a vague feeling that when the Evil Eye awakened again, it might undergo some unexpected transformation.

Shaking his head, Lin Langtian stopped thinking about these things. With a thought, the two Ancestral Talisman returned to his body.

At this moment, Lin Langtian's face was slightly pale, indicating that activating the two Ancestral Talisman had taken a considerable toll on him.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Langtian turned his gaze to the Demon Corpse in mid-air. His eyes narrowed slightly. The demonic patterns that had been covering the latter's body had completely disappeared, and its pupils, which had been dark, had now turned bright.

At the same time, a powerful and moving energy slowly emanated from his body.

That fluctuation was in no way weaker than that of a powerful expert at the Death Profound Stage Perfection!

This ancient powerhouse seemed to have regained his senses at this moment...

"Senior? Did you succeed?" Lin Langtian asked tentatively, his gaze fixed on the figure.

The figure's expression was somewhat stiff, and his eyes were also stunned for a long moment before an overwhelming emotion of ecstasy welled up. This ecstasy caused his body to tremble slightly, which showed how excited he was at that moment.

"Thank you, young man."

The figure slowly rose and then bowed deeply to Lin Langtian with great solemnity, his words filled with deep gratitude and excitement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "No need to be so polite. Senior should be safe and sound by now, right? Hehe, congratulations."

"The demonic runes within my body have been erased, and this wisp of my consciousness, sealed for a thousand years, has also been freed. However, it may not last long before it vanishes into thin air," the figure said.

"Dissipate?"

"Wasn't the Abyssal Demon Qi within you erased, senior? How could it dissipate?"

"Hehe, my current consciousness is merely a wisp of a remnant soul. Sealed for a thousand years, it is already the limit. If it weren't for the lingering obsession in my heart, I might have already been lost under the erosion of that Abyssal Demon Qi."

The figure smiled, his voice unusually carefree, suggesting that he was extremely satisfied to have escaped that corrosive state.

"No matter what, I have been dead for a thousand years. Now that I have regained my senses, even if only for a brief moment, I am already content. Why should I ask for anything more?"

"Those brothers from back then have all turned to dust, and I have no desire to live on."

Upon hearing the figure's words, Lin Langtian fell silent for a moment. The latter, having already taken a detached view of life and death, sighed softly and asked, "May I ask your name, senior?"

"Ren Xing." The figure smiled, then said, "Young brother, you've come to my Devouring Hall, presumably to search for treasure? This place may already be nothing but ruins..."

"Yes, I'm here to seek the inheritance of your temple's master. If I'm not mistaken, this Hall Master master should also be a controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol." Lin Langtian nodded.

"Hall Master..." Upon hearing this, Ren Xing paused for a moment, then his eyes showed respect as he spoke softly.

"Back then, the Hall Master did indeed obtain the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but it was precisely because of this that my Devouring Hall was targeted by those Evil Demon, who then launched a large-scale attack."

At this point, Ren Xing looked at Lin Langtian and said, "If I am not mistaken, the Hall Master Master's inheritance should be in the Devouring Realm."

Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn't made a mistake coming here; there was indeed a powerful inheritance here. However, he immediately realized something and frowned slightly. "The Devouring Realm?"

"The space created by the Hall Master is one that no one but himself can enter."

Lin Langtian was taken aback. If he couldn't enter the so-called Devouring Realm, how could he obtain the inheritance?

"Hehe, you don't need to rush. The Devouring Realm also has a key to enter, and I can sense that you seem to have a part of the key on you," Ren Xing said with a smile.

"Key?"

Lin Langtian was taken aback, then hurriedly took out Black Token from his Universe Bag and asked, "Is this it?"

Ren Xing glanced at the Token Key, smiled and nodded, saying, "This is part of the complete key. If I'm not mistaken, there should be three of these tokens."

Only by bringing the three together can a complete key be formed, allowing entry into the Devouring Realm to seek the Hall Master Master's legacy.

"It actually takes three Token Key to enter the Devouring Realm..."

Lin Langtian frowned slightly. So, if he wanted to enter the Devouring Realm, he would have to snatch the Black Token from the Flame God Palace and the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan? That was going to be quite troublesome.

"How do I enter the Devouring Realm?" Lin Langtian.

"Deep within the cave, at its very center, lies the Devouring Hall, the most central place of this cave, and the entrance to the Devouring Realm is also located there," Ren Xing.

"Devouring Hall..." Lin Langtian memorized the name. It seemed that this was where all the people would gather.
