Lin Langtian and his group traversed the passageways at an astonishing speed. Along the way, the five of them did not stop for a moment. Even though some strange fluctuations emanated from some of the Stone Hall, they did not tempt Lin Langtian to stop.

Now, his only goal is the Devouring Realm!

As the five continued their relentless march, about ten minutes later, their figures suddenly froze, their Divine Fire with anticipation as they gazed ahead.

Ahead, a Ten-Thousand-Step Stone Stairway appeared, and at the end of the staircase, a Black Great Hall stood serenely, majestic and imposing.

This main hall is the most magnificent of all the halls in the Devouring Hall!

Clearly, this was Lin Langtian and his group's target for this trip: the main Main Hall of the Devouring Hall Palace!

Call out!

Lin Langtian's Divine Fire, but his body never stopped moving. His toes touched the stone steps, and his figure soared up like a roc. In a few leaps, he rushed over the Ten-Thousand-Step Stone Stairway and landed in the Black Great Hall.

The main hall was extremely vast, appearing to be about ten thousand feet high. Standing inside, one felt as small as an ant. Its grandeur and magnificence inspired a sense of awe.

Inside the main hall, there were rows of huge stone pillars. At the top of the pillars, some orbs of light shimmered with black light. Within these orbs, scrolls, weapons, and other items could be vaguely seen, and the energy fluctuations they emitted were quite strong.

These things are actually quite powerful Spirit Treasure and martial arts techniques. Some of these Spirit Treasure are probably no weaker than some Lower Pure Yuan Treasure.

The essence of this cave dwelling lies within this main hall.

"So many treasures!" Mu Lingshan exclaimed, her big eyes gazing curiously at the orbs of light atop the massive stone pillars.

Lin Langtian nodded, and was about to speak when his mind stirred. Then he heard a lot of wind breaking sounds coming from behind, and figures flashed over and finally landed in the main hall.

Lin Langtian glanced to the side and saw that the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan, the Flame God Palace, and some other powerful figures had all arrived.

When these powerful figures arrived at the main hall, they naturally noticed the orbs of light within. Immediately, some of them had Divine Fire, realizing that heading straight for the Main Hall was indeed the right decision.

"Bro Langtian, look over there."

As Lin Langtian was paying attention to the powerful figures who had arrived at the main hall, Mu Lingshan's voice suddenly rang out with a hint of surprise.

Lin Langtian turned his head and looked in the direction Mu Lingshan pointed. He saw that in the deepest part of the hall, there was a Stone Statue about a hundred feet tall.

The Stone Statue sat on its throne, clad in battle robes, with a handsome and majestic face. A faint, astonishing aura emanated from the Stone Statue, an aura that was not real but rather inherent to the Stone Statue itself.

Moreover, the Stone Statue's eyes are as deep as black holes, as if hiding a dark world within them, vaguely making one feel dizzy.

Under the aura emanating from the Stone Statue, Lin Langtian's breath hitched slightly, and then his eyes became serious. If a mere Stone Statue possessed such power, he couldn't imagine what kind of awe-inspiring presence it would have if it were its real self.

Clearly, who else could possess such power and influence in this cave besides the Hall Master mentioned by Ren Xing?

Lin Langtian glanced at the huge Stone Statue, then his gaze suddenly shifted to the right side of the Stone Statue.

At this moment, in his right hand, he held a Black Book, from which black light flowed continuously, making it extremely mysterious. However, from this Black Book, Lin Langtian sensed a familiar devouring fluctuation.

This book was not just for show; it was actually an extremely powerful Heavenly Martial Skill!

Lin Langtian stared at the black Heavenly Martial Skill, his eyes narrowing slightly. The fluctuations emanating from this manual were somewhat similar to those of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

Even among the treasures hidden within the light clusters throughout the entire hall, this martial arts manual is probably among the top three!

"The Great Devouring Technique?!"

However, just as Lin Langtian and Mu Lingshan noticed the unusual nature of the Black Book in the Stone Statue's hand, a shout filled with delight suddenly rang out from behind them.

"The Great Devouring Technique?"

Upon hearing this name, Lin Langtian's eyes flashed. The speaker was Ao Xuan, so it seemed he had some knowledge of the martial arts in the Black Book ...

From their rare expressions of surprise, and from what Ren Xing had said before the gathering, Lin Langtian understood the allure of this martial art.

"Let's do it!"

A low shout suddenly came from Ao Xuan's mouth, and the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan rushed out almost simultaneously, heading straight for the Black Book in the Stone Statue's hand.

Whoosh!

Their actions naturally attracted the attention of other powerful individuals. Immediately, everyone realized that the Black Book in the Stone Statue's hand was a great treasure. Their Divine Fire up and they suddenly rushed out.

The entire hall suddenly descended into complete chaos at that moment.

Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea began to form in his mind.

Although the ' Great Devouring Technique ' created by imitating the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is not very useful to him, the original owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, this kind of martial art is still of a very high level. If he can obtain it, it can become the ultimate secret technique of his Heavenly Mansion in the future.

Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian waved his hand and was about to set off when a strange fluctuation suddenly arose in the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within his body.

Following the fluctuation, Lin Langtian saw a Crystal Coffin to the right of the giant Stone Statue, and inside the crystal was a completely black, dried-out corpse.

Lin Langtian stared at the completely black corpse, and for some reason, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within his body suddenly began to vibrate violently.

"This, could it be... the Devouring Sky Corpse?"

Looking at the Dark Black Corpse that could actually vibrate in response to the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Lin Langtian seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise.

If he remembers correctly, in the original story, Lin Dong seemed to have accidentally encountered a Devouring Sky Corpse in the Chaotic Demon Sea and nurtured it into a major trump card in his hand.

"But weren't there only three Devouring Sky Corpse? The last one is most likely already in Lin Dong..."

Recalling something, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. However, just as he was pondering, his gaze suddenly fell on the huge Stone Statue, and he immediately realized something, saying, "Could it be that this Hall Master used the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to imitate the puppet created by the Devouring Sky Corpse?"

A flash of inspiration struck Lin Langtian, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, this Hall Master was also the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, and the ' Great Devouring Technique ' was created by imitating the Devouring Power. It was evident that this Hall Master was also a man of great talent and ambition, so it was not impossible for him to learn from the Lord of Devouring and refine his own Devouring Sky Corpse.

Thinking of this, a burning light appeared in Lin Langtian's eyes. The Devouring Sky Corpse was a puppet comparable to the Samsara Stage level. If he could subdue it, it would be of great help to him.

Now that we've encountered this opportunity, we absolutely cannot let it go!

Having made up his mind, Lin Langtian immediately turned his gun around, abandoning the Black Book that everyone was scrambling for, and instead rushed towards the Dark Black Corpse that no one had noticed.

Seeing Lin Langtian's actions, Liu Da, along with Mu Lingshan, were taken aback. Although they were somewhat puzzled, they quickly abandoned the ' Great Devouring Technique ' and followed Lin Langtian.

Lin Langtian seemed oblivious to the chaos Main Hall. Using his agile speed, he leaped forward and appeared in front of the Crystal Coffin.

Lin Langtian's actions naturally attracted the attention of some powerful figures in the Main Hall. After all, Lin Langtian had been too prominent along the way, attracting a lot of attention like a protagonist.

However, when they saw that Lin Langtian had actually targeted that inconspicuous, Dark Black Corpse, they were all surprised.

After all, there were many treasures in the Main Hall. In comparison, the Dark Black Corpse did not seem to be anything special. Even when Ao Xuan noticed Lin Langtian's behavior out of the corner of his eye, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, as if he thought Lin Langtian had poor taste.

However, some observant people noticed a slight glint in their eyes. Although they couldn't see anything special about the Dark Black Corpse, the fact that Lin Langtian had taken a liking to it meant it was extraordinary; they just hadn't discovered it yet.

However, they had some ideas in mind, but remembering the strength Lin Langtian had shown and the intimidating power of Liu Da and the other two, they could only give up helplessly and then shift their focus to other treasures.

With no obstacles in sight, Lin Langtian stood beside the Crystal Coffin and then grabbed at the Dark Black Corpse.

"Hmph, you traitor Lin Langtian, we meet again."

However, just as Lin Langtian was about to touch the Dark Black Corpse, a cold snort suddenly rang out, and then Lin Langtian's eyes sharpened. He saw light and shadow flickering beside him, and three figures appeared like ghosts.

"The Heaven, Earth, and Man Division Heads, you've finally shown yourself..."

Lin Langtian stared at the three strangely appearing figures, his eyes turning icy cold. Were these three finally going to make their move?

The three appeared, and the Heaven Division Head looked at Lin Langtian with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and said, "Lin Langtian, you didn't expect this, did you? The three of us would actually appear here!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression darkened, and he said indifferently, "So what if we meet? Di Yuanzi almost died at my hands back then. Are you three here to die?"

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, the three Heaven Division Head changed their expressions slightly. After a moment, the Heaven Division Head gritted his teeth and said, "You sharp-tongued brat, that power doesn't belong to you at all. When the opportunity arises, my Yuan Sect will definitely raze your Heavenly Mansion to the ground and make you, this traitor of the Yuan Sect, die a thousand cuts!"

"Don't worry, when the opportunity arises, my Heavenly Mansion will surely crush your Yuan Sect and let the world see how your Yuan Sect harbors filth and corruption," Lin Langtian sneered.

"So you really do know something. No wonder you're going to betray Yuan Sect..." The Heaven Division Head said, his eyes flashing slightly and a cold glint in them.

"Stop wasting time, capture this kid and then complete the mission assigned by the sect!"

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Earth Division Head beside him. He swung his palm out with a backhand, unleashing a surge of immense Yuan Power that hurtled toward Lin Langtian like lightning. Within that Yuan Power, a thick black Death Qi surged.

This Earth Division Head is a true Death Profound Stage Grand Completion!

This move caused the expressions of many powerful figures who were watching the scene to change. They did not expect that three powerful figures at the Death Profound Stage Grand Completion had actually infiltrated the cave. Even the people from the Deep Sea Profound Flood Dragon Clan and the Flame God Palace showed a hint of surprise.

Faced with the attack from the Earth Division Head, Lin Langtian dared not be negligent in the slightest. With a flick of his sleeve, the Fire Feather Sword flew out and collided fiercely with the Yuan Power Stream containing a dense Death Qi.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the hall, and the crimson light on the Fire Feather Sword flashed rapidly before shooting out backward.

Although the attack was blocked, Lin Langtian's body was also forced back, crashing heavily into the Crystal Coffin behind him.

"Bang!"

The Crystal Coffin was shattered into dust by Lin Langtian's powerful impact, and as the Crystal Coffin disintegrated, the dark, mummified corpse was completely exposed to Lin Langtian's gaze.

On the other side, Liu Da and the other two stood in front of Lin Langtian, glaring angrily at the three Heaven Division Head.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Langtian's gaze, tinged with a hint of fervor, carefully scanned the mummified corpse. Its dark, withered body was covered with claw-like marks.

Especially on its back, there is a deep hole about the size of a fist, which shows that it had experienced a very fierce battle a long time ago.

Lin Langtian stared at the mummified corpse, flicked his finger, and a sharp burst of Yuan energy shot out, directly slamming into its body.

However, the mummified corpse remained completely still in the face of such an attack. Only when the gust of Yuan energy struck its body did a black light pattern appear on its dark surface, instantly neutralizing Lin Langtian's Yuan energy attack...

"It really is the Devouring Power." Lin Langtian thought to himself with delight. Then he remembered that in the original story, when Lin Dong subdued the Devouring Sky Corpse, he seemed to have simply used the Devouring Power to enter the Devouring Sky Corpse's body and condense the Devouring Mark.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian looked at the three menacing Heaven Division Head, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand. Black light condensed on his palm and then turned into a halo. He then pointed out half a finger and gently touched the chest of the dried corpse.

Buzz!

When Lin Langtian's fingers touched the Devouring Sky Corpse's body, black light patterns spread out again. However, this time, when the light patterns containing the Devouring Power touched Lin Langtian's fingers, they were directly blocked by the Devouring Power swirling around his fingertips.

Laugh!

The two Devouring Power intertwined, and then Lin Langtian clearly felt that his mind was effortlessly rushing into the Devouring Sky Corpse along the point of contact.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Langtian's fingertips, glowing with black light, swept across the forehead of the Devouring Sky Corpse, and a Black Rune appeared on its forehead before slowly fading away.

As the runes took shape, Lin Langtian could clearly feel that he had successfully gained control over the Devouring Sky Corpse before him...
