The Power of the Demon God Core

This stone statue was clearly far stronger than the previous ones, having reached the Spirit Channeling Mid Stage.

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

"Hm?" Zhou Qiongtian looked at the Top-grade Spirit Stone amid the shattered fragments with surprise and picked it up again.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for seizing Child of Destiny Lin Tian's fortuitous encounter. Destiny Points +500.

Zhou Qiongtian's mood improved slightly, and he once more gave chase after Lin Tian.

Yet every time, some unexpected incident always stopped Zhou Qiongtian in his tracks, making him curse up a storm. Still, he could obtain several hundred Destiny Points almost every time.

Zhou Qiongtian truly was suffering and enjoying it at once.

Zhou Qiongtian used the Fortune Sensing Divine Ability to inspect Lin Tian's fortune. It had diminished somewhat compared to when they had first met.

According to the system, he could not kill Lin Tian yet. Heaven's will was standing in his way.

A Child of Destiny was like an indestructible cockroach, with tenacious vitality beyond belief.

Even if one was killed, a protagonist blessed by Heavenly Fortune had countless ways to be reborn. And after being reborn, his strength would grow greater, while his Golden Finger would become even more powerful.

It was simply like he had swallowed Viagra and was unleashing a berserk barrage!

He had to wait until the Child of Destiny's fortune fell to a certain level, then use the Heaven-Shrouding Talisman from the System Shop to conceal Heaven's will before he could kill him.

In short, it came down to two words: what a hassle!

Suddenly, Lin Tian seemed to have reached a dead end. Zhou Qiongtian immediately revealed a delighted expression, but he remained highly vigilant. According to the plot, this little bastard could always survive even in a nine-deaths-one-life situation.

"Great Nirvana Finger!" Zhou Qiongtian pointed a finger, and an enormous ink-black finger condensed into being, carrying boundless pressure as it crushed down toward Lin Tian.

The Great Nirvana Finger was larger than Lin Tian's entire body, as though it intended to press him to death like an ant.

"Boom!"

A tremendous blast rang out. The maze walls were shattered by the aftershock, and as the smoke dispersed, Lin Tian was revealed.

He was injured, but he recovered at an astonishing speed, completely healing in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tian looked extremely strange at this moment. The skin across his body had turned red and gleamed with luster, while smoke continuously rose from his surface, as though his body possessed an extremely high temperature.

His eyes had also turned a vicious blood-red, like an ancient devil awakened from slumber.

Seeing Lin Tian in this state, Zhou Qiongtian was startled. Was this Lin Tian's Golden Finger?

That strike of his had been capable of killing an ordinary Spirit Channeling Great Perfection cultivator, yet Lin Tian, merely at the Spirit Aperture Late Stage, had emerged almost completely unscathed?

Zhou Qiongtian's expression turned grave. Sure enough, no Child of Destiny could be underestimated.

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

The Demon God Core's power possessed nine forms in total.

The first form was the most basic stage, and also the form with the weakest combat strength.

This form used merely one hundred-millionth of the Demon God Core's power, yet even so, the burden it placed upon the body was far beyond what an ordinary person could endure.

At this moment, Lin Tian's meridians and muscles were filled with the Demon God Core's power, and his body temperature had already surpassed one hundred degrees.

His blood was continuously drying up, while his internal organs and meridians were constantly failing. Yet because of this, he could gain unimaginably terrifying power for a short time!

His body trembled as terrifying power suddenly erupted.

Bang! A thunderous sound rang out.

Lin Tian shot forward in an instant, turning into an arrow loosed from the string as he streaked toward Zhou Qiongtian.

"So fast!" Zhou Qiongtian's pupils abruptly shrank. The power of his Twin Pupils erupted, and Lin Tian's speed immediately slowed in Zhou Qiongtian's eyes.

"Bang!" Lin Tian threw a punch, and Zhou Qiongtian threw one as well. Lin Tian was sent flying backward, crashing straight through the maze wall, while Zhou Qiongtian did not retreat a single step.

"He has reached the Cycle Early Stage. What an enormous increase!"

Zhou Qiongtian licked his lips, an intrigued look appearing on his face. Though he did not know what Lin Tian had done, Lin Tian had clearly piqued Zhou Qiongtian's interest.

Zhou Qiongtian charged out in an instant, only to be sent flying backward again in the next moment.

"Hehe, how surprising. He can actually improve again and has even reached the early stage of Ascension."

Had it not been for the Defensive Artifact from his Lineage, Zhou Qiongtian might very well have been seriously injured just now.

The temperature around Lin Tian's body grew even higher, reaching over a thousand degrees!

Lin Tian's rationality was constantly fading away. His brain was nearly being cooked to mush, his blood boiled without end, and his internal organs were severely damaged, leaving him heavily injured.

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

Lin Tian activated the Demon God Core's second form. With his cultivation, he simply could not sustain such a form; at the very least, one needed Spirit Channeling Great Perfection, or even the Cycle Realm.

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

Lin Tian bit his tongue hard, barely regaining consciousness before swiftly fleeing.

"Can you escape?" Zhou Qiongtian sneered and rushed toward Lin Tian, following the guidance of bloodline tracking.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Zhou Qiongtian's feet vanished!

"Fuck—"

Lin Tian released the Demon God Core form, his body going limp as he collapsed to the ground. He took out Spirit Stones and medicinal pills, activated the Life Creation Art, and rapidly absorbed them. Only after a short while did he recover his strength and rise to his feet.

Lin Tian's expression was ugly. He had never imagined that Zhou Qiongtian would come to the Northern Region—and that his target would be Lin Tian himself.

At this time, Zhou Qiongtian should have only just succeeded in transplanting his pupils and replacing his bones, and should have been adapting to the powers of the Supreme Bone and Twin Pupils!

"Could it be because I was reborn and triggered the butterfly effect?"

"And how exactly did Zhou Qiongtian pinpoint my location so accurately? I changed my aura and appearance several times along the way, yet it was useless."

If he could not solve this problem, Lin Tian would be in danger!

"Could it be the bloodline?" After eliminating every other possibility, only this remained.

But under these circumstances, how was Lin Tian supposed to replace his blood?

And why had Zhou Qiongtian not caught up yet?

Lin Tian's heart was filled with urgency. Only by obtaining this Saint King's inheritance could he gain the power to turn the tables.

Fortunately, Lin Tian knew where the inheritance was. He immediately sprinted toward that location.

Zhou Qiongtian surveyed his surroundings. He was in a place resembling a secret chamber, with a large door not far away that was likely the exit.

Two rows of stone statues stood on either side of the exit, holding sabers, swords, spears, hammers, zithers, and other weapons.

Directly opposite the door sat a massive stone statue. It wore a crown and bore a stern, imposing expression.

Zhou Qiongtian ignored these statues, thinking only of quickly pursuing and killing Lin Tian. He flew toward the door.

Suddenly, a sense of danger enveloped Zhou Qiongtian's entire body. Without the slightest hesitation, he rapidly retreated backward.

Where he had just been standing, two stone statues slashed down with their saber and sword, carving two deep gashes into the ground.

In an instant, the other stone statues seemed to activate as well. Light shone from their eyes as they gripped their weapons and charged toward Zhou Qiongtian.

Each of these stone statues stood ten meters tall, like small mountains, emanating an overwhelming sense of oppression!

At that moment, the crowned stone statue moved!
