Extreme North Land
Having successfully seized the fruits of victory, Lin Dong and his group quietly returned to the Four Symbols Sect, diligently practicing their internal skills, preparing for battle, and awaiting the arrival of a certain opportunity.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly resounded from the Extreme North Land of the Demon Domain, followed by an overwhelming aura that swept across the entire Demon Realm, and almost the entire Demon Domain noticed this earth-shattering change.
The powerful and influential Four Overlord Clans and Eight Royal Clans naturally knew what was going on and immediately dispatched their strongest members to the place where the strange phenomenon was born. Other forces, unaware of the reason, also believed that a rare treasure had been born there and rushed to the Extreme North Land.
In an instant, the entire Demon Domain was thrown into turmoil.
Beast War Domain, Four Symbols Mountain Range.
"This is the emergence of the Devouring Divine Palace. The strength lies in quality, not quantity. The three of us palace masters can go there. You stay here and guard the palace well."
Under the watchful eyes of the twelve Demon Commander, Lin Dong and his companions tore through space and departed.
The Demon Domain, the Extreme North Land.
The century-long silence of this Desolate Plain, filled with endless storms, was shattered. Wave after wave of frenzied Gold Prospector rushed into the depths of the plain, and the dark mass of people filled most of the plain.
However, in the core area, the Heavenly Mysterious Gale Storm, powerful enough to defeat even a Samsara Stage expert, suddenly erupted, blocking everyone's path. They could only wait for the storm to subside.
"Hehe, it seems I arrived at the Four Symbols Palace quite early."
On the summit of a thousand-foot-high peak, three figures appeared out of nowhere.
"Young friend Lin Dong, you seem to be late. My Heavenly Demon Marten Clan and Dragon Clan arrived long ago."
A loud laugh rang out, and two groups of people swept over from a distance.
"Young Patriarch!"
The eight Great Elders of the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan, including Zhu Li, bowed to Little Marten in Zhu Li.
"Young friend Lin Dong, the Master of Space has ordered us to do our best to cooperate with you in obtaining the inheritance of the Devouring Master, so please feel free to ask if you encounter any difficulties later."
Zhu Li said with a smile.
"The Master of Space is very thoughtful."
Lin Dong smiled slightly, then turned his head to look at another group of people.
He treated the Master of Space as an equal, so Zhu Li and the others didn't think Lin Dong was being impolite, since even the big shot himself didn't seem to mind.
"My name is Liu Qing. I have met the Punishment Elder."
Among the eight Dragon Clan experts at the Samsara Stage, the tall figure at the head of the group greeted them with a smile.
Liu Qing, the youngest member of the Dragon Clan Elder Council, is also a top-tier Samsara Stage who has touched upon the Reincarnation. However, his Intent of Reincarnation is slightly weaker than that of veteran powerhouses like Zhu Li, but his strength should not be underestimated.
He received guidance from the Ancient Azure Dragon King and cultivated the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art. Therefore, he treated Qing Zhi with the respect due to a master and often referred to himself as the disciple of the Azure Dragon King. Well, it's just that Qing Zhi did not agree to this.
"You're too kind, senior brother. Just call me Lin Dong. Our teacher has mentioned you often."
Lin Dong smiled as he looked at the newcomer.
"Haha, Council of Elders Lin Dong really knows how to talk."
The tall, powerful Dragon Clan warrior smiled broadly.
For a powerful figure like him who constantly yearns to truly become a disciple of Qing Zhi, being addressed as "Senior Brother" by Lin Dong, a formal disciple, is more comforting and delightful than consuming any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Although Elder Lin Dong calls me Senior Brother, Liu Qing will not give up the inheritance of the Devouring Master, because I am equally interested in this lord's inheritance."
Liu Qing changed the subject and said with a mischievous smile.
"Senior brother, please do as you please. We will each rely on our own methods."
Lin Dong waved his hand, both amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to sense something and looked towards a void. Suddenly, a Space Channel opened there, and several figures filed out.
"Space Teleportation, Innate Divine Ability of the Kunpeng Clan, means the Kunpeng Clan has arrived."
Liu Qing turned around and saw the short old man leading the group, saying, "So it's Elder Kun Yuan. I didn't expect the Kunpeng Clan to be led by him, their Great Elder. It seems the Kunpeng Clan is also quite interested in the inheritance of the Devouring Master."
"Liu Qing, I can hear you talking badly about me behind my back from far away."
Great Elder Kun Yuan led the Kunpeng Clan's forces and quickly rushed over.
Kunpeng, as the Great Elder of the Kunpeng Clan, has lived for over a thousand years.
Liu Qing has only cultivated for a little over a hundred years, so it's not presumptuous of Kunpeng to call him "baby," but it also reflects Liu Qing's formidable talent.
"Tch, old man, taking advantage of his age."
Liu Qing pursed her lips, clearly indicating that they were old acquaintances.
The relationship between the Four Overlord Clans is not as tense as outsiders imagine.
As Overlord Clan controls the continent's peak combat power— the Cycle Stage Expert —the two sides could destroy the world if they went to war, and the entire Demon Domain might be wiped out. Therefore, the Overlord Clan, who know each other well, have always been extremely restrained in their interactions and have even communicated quite a bit.
The exchange between Liu Qing and Kunpeng, two high-level executives, did not prevent the young talents from exploring and observing each other, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Lin Dong's gaze fell directly on the tall, silver-haired woman beside Kunpeng. She had a rather cold and beautiful temperament and, like him, was Yuan and Mental Dual Cultivation, at the Lesser Death Mysterious Stage, Minor Achievement and Minor Symbol Sect. She was probably the leading figure of the younger generation of the Kunpeng Clan.
"This must be the direct bloodline of the Devouring Master and Kun Qing'er. I heard she even inherited a portion of the Devouring Master's Devouring Power. She's been keeping it quite secret~"
However, these were clearly not his concerns.
Once the wielder of the Ancestral Symbol resonates with it to a perfect degree, like the Eight Ancient Masters, it can be considered a human-shaped Ancestral Symbol, and its bloodline will be subtly transformed by the Ancestral Symbol Power.
The offspring of such beings have a chance to inherit the Ancestral Symbol Power, such as the offspring of the Devouring Master before us.
In the future, if Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan have children, then Lin Dong's son will have a certain chance of taking control of a portion of the power of the Ice Ancestral Symbol.
Then why not inherit the Devouring Power, the power of thunder, or even the Space Power?
Because Lin Dong's control over the Three Great Ancestral Symbols is still somewhat lacking, and he lacks the necessary foundation.
However, the Ancestral Symbol Power inherited through bloodline will be completely suppressed when facing the current wielder of the Ancestral Symbol, since the Ancestral Symbol itself is stronger.
In other words, Lin Dong should be able to easily suppress the Devouring Power within the girl named Kun Ling'er by relying on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.
However, Lin Dong did not sense any fluctuations of Devouring Power from Kun Ling'er just now. It must be that the Kunpeng Clan used a secret method to temporarily hide her, preparing to launch a surprise attack and defeat her when they arrived at the Devouring Divine Palace.
That's why Lin Dong said that this Kunpeng Clan girl was hiding her true intentions.
"Um?"
The aloof, silver-haired beauty seemed to have noticed Lin Dong's "spying," and gave an unpleasant snort. In her heart, she already regarded him as one of those lecherous men who had lusted after her beauty in the past, so she wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Buzz!"
The silver-haired beauty's eyes narrowed, and her solidified silver-white Mental Energy suddenly surged from the depths of her pupils, rushing straight towards Lin Dong's face with lightning speed.
