The Demon God Is Panicked

A few days ago, the Green Flame Valley suddenly erupted with divine light, and Law Power permeated the air. Many cultivators were drawn by this divine light and flocked to the area. However, upon arrival, they discovered it wasn't a Heavenly Treasure emerging as they had expected, but rather a Grand Formation!

They couldn't see clearly into the Grand Formation from the outside, but the Law Power emanating from within indicated it was a Venerable Tier formation. Regardless of what lay inside, the Venerable Tier Grand Formation itself was a priceless treasure.

Soon, more cultivators arrived, but they dared not act rashly. A Venerable Tier Grand Formation wasn't easily broken. What if they accidentally triggered its attack? What would they do then?

The strongest among these observing cultivators were only Saint Kings. If attacked by a Venerable Tier Grand Formation, they might all be annihilated.

What could they do? They decided to wait for a month. If they couldn't find a solution by then, they would have to summon their sect's Supreme Beings.

Supreme Beings of super-forces were usually in seclusion, even in permanent closed-door cultivation. They wouldn't emerge unless the sect faced a life-or-death crisis. With their lifespans dwindling, this was their only way to prolong their existence.

However, given the importance of a Venerable Tier Grand Formation, it was worth the risk. Whether their sect's Supreme Being would come, they weren't sure, as not all Supreme Beings were involved in the Formation Dao.

Yet, in just seven days, the Venerable Tier Grand Formation revealed its true form. They could see what was inside: two cultivators. One was in the early Feather Ascension stage, and the other was only in the late Spirit Connection stage.

"That's the Young Master of the Zhou Family, Zhou Qiongtian!" a Saint King from the Great Sun Divine Sect exclaimed. The Great Sun Divine Sect and the other four super-forces had previously wanted to capture Zhou Kuang's children as leverage, but had made no progress. Now, Zhou Qiongtian had appeared before him. It was like a pillow arriving just when one felt sleepy!

This Saint King from the Great Sun Divine Sect was overjoyed. Capturing Zhou Qiongtian would be an immense contribution!

In the next moment, he attacked the Venerable Tier Grand Formation, attempting to break through by force. Besides him, several other Saints and Saint Kings from the Great Sun Divine Sect also attacked the formation.

Present were not only the Great Sun Divine Sect but also the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, Azure Profound Divine Palace, Nine Heavens Cloud Palace, Violet Heaven Holy Land, and others. Coincidentally, most of the cultivators present had, openly or secretly, acted against the Zhou Family.

In an instant, dozens of Saints and Saint King powerhouses attacked the formation. Although it was a Venerable Tier formation, if controlled by a Supreme Being, it would be impregnable. They wouldn't be able to break it and might even be killed in return.

However, Zhou Qiongtian was merely in the early Feather Ascension stage. Although his attainments in the Formation Dao reached Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster level, his cultivation was too low to unleash the full power of the Venerable Tier Grand Formation.

The Venerable Tier Grand Formation could still hold for now, but if this continued, it would eventually be broken!

Moreover, the Great Sun Divine Sect, Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, and other sects had already sent messages about this situation to their respective sects. Soon, those sects would dispatch powerful experts to capture Zhou Qiongtian. At that point, Zhou Qiongtian would be in grave danger.

Although Zhou Qiongtian had also immediately sent a message to the Zhou Family, the Zhou Family was quite a distance from Green Flame Valley. They would likely arrive later than the other forces, and the experts from other sects would surely delay any reinforcements from the Zhou Family.

Zhou Qiongtian's expression instantly turned grim. Was this the backlash of Lin Tian's Destiny? It was indeed troublesome!

However, there was now the best possible solution! The Venerable Tier Grand Formation could still hold for a while. This time was enough for him to do something.

Zhou Qiongtian instantly charged out, heading towards Lin Tian. The Venerable Tier Grand Formation siphoned off some of its power, immobilizing Lin Tian, preventing his spiritual energy from circulating, and subjecting his body to immense gravity. A whole host of debuffs were applied.

Zhou Qiongtian stepped on lightning, moving as fast as thunder. In an instant, he was before Lin Tian and threw a punch, shattering Lin Tian's head!

It was so easy, so easy that Zhou Qiongtian couldn't believe it. Lin Tian was dead?

Zhou Qiongtian's expression suddenly changed. Although Lin Tian's life force had vanished, the System hadn't announced "Lin Tian killed."

The next moment, a drastic change occurred.

Zhou Qiongtian gritted his teeth. Still? Is there no end to this? Can't you just die obediently?

A terrifying aura, filled with intense aggression, erupted from Lin Tian. Azure flames blazed, consuming Lin Tian's body. Zhou Qiongtian's face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated from Lin Tian.

A figure emerged from the azure flames. Zhou Qiongtian's eyes widened. The person before him bore no resemblance to Lin Tian. If Zhou Qiongtian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have associated this figure with Lin Tian.

He was three meters tall, like a small giant. His skin was crimson, radiating terrifying heat. Zhou Qiongtian, standing ten meters away, felt a scorching wave of heat wash over him. He had long, azure hair and two ferocious horns on his head. He looked at Zhou Qiongtian with a cold expression, his eyes as deep as an abyss, making Zhou Qiongtian's scalp tingle.

"Damn it, why is he so weak? After finally possessing this body, I didn't expect him to be such trash. If I hadn't held onto a sliver of his life force, he would have died long ago."

He was a Demon God. Severely wounded and near death, before perishing, he had condensed all his power into a Demon God Core, preserving his will and soul within it, waiting for someone to integrate the Demon God Core into their body. This way, as they continuously used the Demon God Core's power, they would be eroded, and he would then possess them and revive.

But he hadn't expected to finally find a host, only for this host to die from an ambush before even integrating the Demon God Core. It was by leveraging Lin Tian's past cultivation as a Great Emperor, combined with the power within the Demon God Core, that he was able to bring a wisp of Lin Tian's soul through the river of time, traveling upstream. This was also the reason for Lin Tian's rebirth.

The Demon God looked at Zhou Qiongtian with a cold expression, remaining silent. Even so, he exuded an incredibly terrifying pressure on Zhou Qiongtian, more terrifying than the Savage Great Emperor who had shattered the Heavenly Tribulation. How could Lin Tian have something like this inside him?

Zhou Qiongtian was now very panicked. He thought he was facing a lamb to be slaughtered, but it turned out to be a dragon!

The Saints and Saint Kings outside the formation were also stunned. Who was that terrifying, suffocating presence inside? They exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. They wanted to run.

Little did they know, the Demon God was even more panicked than they were. The pressure he was currently emitting was due to the power he had left in the Demon God Core. However, his current cultivation was only at the Great Perfection stage of Spirit Connection. Although he looked imposing in his current state, his physical body was essentially still Lin Tian's. Even though the Demon God Core was his, the current body couldn't withstand the power of the Demon God Core. He was very weak right now!
