The Power of the Demon God Core

This stone statue was clearly much stronger than the previous ones, reaching the mid-stage of Spirit Connection.

Zhou Qiongtian smashed down with a punch, and the stone statue exploded.

"Hmm?" Zhou Qiongtian looked at the top-grade Spirit Stone revealed among the shattered fragments of the statue, his eyes widening in surprise. He picked it up again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for snatching the opportunity of Lin Tian, the Child of Destiny. Destiny value +500.]

Zhou Qiongtian's mood improved slightly, and he resumed chasing Lin Tian.

However, every time, something unexpected would block Zhou Qiongtian. This made Zhou Qiongtian curse, though he gained several hundred Destiny points almost every time.

Zhou Qiongtian was truly experiencing pain and pleasure simultaneously.

Zhou Qiongtian used his Fortune Sensing Divine Ability to examine Lin Tian's Destiny. His Destiny was smaller than when they first met.

According to the System, he couldn't kill Lin Tian now; Heaven's will was preventing him.

Children of Destiny were like cockroaches, incredibly resilient and tenacious.

Even if they were killed, protagonists with the blessing of Heaven's Mandate and Destiny had countless ways to be reborn. And after rebirth, their strength would be greater, and their cheat-like abilities even more potent.

It was like they were on steroids, unleashing a furious output!

He had to wait until the Child of Destiny's Destiny declined to a certain extent, and then use the Heaven-Veiling Talisman from the System Store to conceal Heaven's will before he could kill him.

In short, it boiled down to two words: troublesome!

Suddenly, Lin Tian seemed to have reached a dead end. Zhou Qiongtian's face lit up with joy, but he remained extremely cautious. According to the plot, even in such a life-or-death situation, this little brat would somehow survive.

"Great Nirvana Finger!" Zhou Qiongtian pointed a finger, and a giant, ink-black finger materialized, exuding immense pressure as it descended upon Lin Tian.

The Great Nirvana Finger was larger than Lin Tian's entire body, as if intending to crush Lin Tian like an ant.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound erupted, shattering the maze walls with its shockwave. As the smoke cleared, Lin Tian's appearance was revealed.

He was injured, but his wounds were healing at an incredibly rapid pace, completely mended in an instant.

Lin Tian's current appearance was very strange. His skin was flushed red and gleaming, with smoke continuously rising from his body, as if his body possessed an extremely high temperature.

His eyes had also turned a ferocious blood-red, like an ancient demon that had been awakened.

Seeing Lin Tian like this, Zhou Qiongtian's heart skipped a beat. Was this Lin Tian's cheat-like ability?

His previous attack could have killed an ordinary Grand Perfection of the Spirit Connection realm, yet Lin Tian, merely at the late stage of Spirit Aperture, was almost unharmed?

Zhou Qiongtian's expression turned grave. Indeed, one could not underestimate any Child of Destiny.

This was the first form Lin Tian displayed after using the power of the Demon God Core.

The Demon God Core's power had a total of nine forms.

The first form was the initial stage, and also the weakest in terms of combat power.

This form only utilized one ten-billionth of the Demon God Core's power, but even so, the burden it placed on the body was beyond what an ordinary person could bear.

At this moment, Lin Tian's entire meridians and muscles were filled with the Demon God Core's power, and his body temperature had reached over a hundred degrees Celsius.

His blood was continuously depleting, and his internal organs and meridians were constantly decaying, but in return, he gained an unimaginable terrifying power for a short period!

His body trembled, and a terrifying power erupted.

Bang! A loud noise.

Lin Tian shot out instantly, transforming into an arrow loosed from a bow, heading straight for Zhou Qiongtian.

"So fast!" Zhou Qiongtian's pupils constricted. His Twin Pupils' power erupted, and Lin Tian's speed seemed to slow down in Zhou Qiongtian's eyes.

"Bang!" Lin Tian threw a punch, and Zhou Qiongtian met it with a punch of his own. Lin Tian's body flew backward, crashing directly through the maze wall, while Zhou Qiongtian didn't budge an inch.

"Reached the early stage of Cycle, such a significant improvement!"

Zhou Qiongtian licked his lips, a look of interest appearing. Although he didn't know what Lin Tian had done, it had clearly piqued Zhou Qiongtian's interest.

Zhou Qiongtian surged forward instantly, but the next moment, he was sent flying back again.

"Heh heh, truly surprising. He can even improve again, actually reaching the early stage of Feather Ascension."

If not for the defensive artifact from his family, Zhou Qiongtian could have been seriously injured just now.

Lin Tian's body temperature was even higher, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius!

Lin Tian's sanity was rapidly fading, his mind was almost burning out, his blood was boiling, and his internal organs were severely damaged, leading to critical injuries.

If not for the power of the Demon God Core, Lin Tian would have lost consciousness long ago.

Lin Tian had activated the second form of the Demon God Core. With his current cultivation, he couldn't possibly sustain it; he would need to be at least a Grand Perfection of the Spirit Connection realm, or even in the Cycle Realm.

Lin Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and reverted to the first form.

Lin Tian bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to regain a semblance of clarity, and then quickly fled.

"Think you can escape?" Zhou Qiongtian sneered, following the bloodline tracking guidance towards Lin Tian.

Suddenly, Zhou Qiongtian's feet went empty, and the ground beneath him disappeared!

"What the f***..."

Lin Tian released the Demon God Core's form, his body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground. You took out Spirit Stones and elixirs to activate the Life Creation Art, rapidly absorbing their energy. Moments later, he recovered his strength and stood up.

Lin Tian's expression was grim. He never expected Zhou Qiongtian to come to the Northern Region, and even more so, to target him specifically.

At this point in time, Zhou Qiongtian should have just finished adapting to his new body after the Eye Transplant and Bone Replacement, still getting used to the power of the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils!

"Could it be because I've been reborn, causing a butterfly effect?"

"Also, how did Zhou Qiongtian pinpoint my exact location? I changed my aura and appearance several times along the way, but it had no effect."

If this problem isn't solved, Lin Tian is in danger!

"Could it be my bloodline?" After ruling out all other possibilities, only this one remained.

But under these circumstances, how could Lin Tian change his blood?

Speaking of which, why hasn't Zhou Qiongtian caught up yet?

Lin Tian felt a sense of urgency. Only by obtaining the inheritance of this Saint King would he have the power to turn the tables.

Fortunately, Lin Tian knew where the inheritance was located, and he immediately sprinted towards that place.

Zhou Qiongtian surveyed his surroundings. He found himself in a place resembling a secret chamber, with a large gate not far away, presumably the exit.

On either side of the exit stood two rows of stone statues, holding various weapons like knives, swords, spears, hammers, and zithers.

Directly opposite the main gate sat a colossal stone statue, wearing a crown and exuding a majestic aura.

Zhou Qiongtian ignored these statues, his sole focus on quickly pursuing Lin Tian. He then flew towards the large gate.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis enveloped Zhou Qiongtian's entire body. Without a moment's hesitation, he rapidly retreated backward.

Where he had stood moments before, two stone statues wielding knives and swords struck down, leaving two deep gouges in the ground.

In an instant, the other statues seemed to activate, their eyes glowing as they brandished their weapons and charged at Zhou Qiongtian.

These statues were each ten meters tall, like small mountains, exuding an immense pressure!

At this moment, the crowned stone statue moved!
