The Demon God's expression turned strange. He had always been inside Lin Tian's body and knew perfectly well that Zhou Qiongtian had been the one pursuing Lin Tian first. Yet he did not dare say it. If he somehow offended Zhou Qiongtian and Zhou Qiongtian decided to deal with him again, he truly would have nowhere to weep.
The Demon God decisively tossed Lin Tian's Divine Soul out of the Demon God Core. Compared to his own safety, a mere Lin Tian was utterly insignificant. Zhou Qiongtian could do whatever he wanted; the Demon God only wanted Zhou Qiongtian to spare him.
Although the Demon God knew the chances of that were minuscule, this was all he could do. He was now almost completely powerless, nothing more than a lamb waiting for the slaughter.
A mighty Demon God, a supreme expert of the True God Realm, had actually fallen to such a state. It was truly enough to make one boast for ages.
The moment Lin Tian's Divine Soul saw Zhou Qiongtian, fury appeared on his face. He said unyieldingly, "Zhou Qiongtian, since I've fallen into your hands, kill me or carve me up as you please!"
Zhou Qiongtian gave a cold chuckle and decisively used the Soul Searching Technique. Before long, surprise appeared on his face.
He knew Lin Tian was a reincarnator, but he had never expected him to be a Great Emperor reborn from five hundred years in the future. Lin Tian's memories flashed endlessly before Zhou Qiongtian's eyes—memories of exploring secret realms, memories of cultivation, memories of fighting others to the death.
Thanks to Lin Tian, Zhou Qiongtian learned many things about the future. But clearly, there were some differences between the present and the future. This should have been the butterfly effect, though the overall picture was not far off.
In the future, Zhou Kuang was still alive, the Zhou Clan remained the number one power in Azure World, and Zhou Qiongtian himself had even become a Great Emperor?
Zhou Qiongtian still wanted more information, but Lin Tian destroyed his own Divine Soul and perished completely. A look of regret immediately appeared on Zhou Qiongtian's face.
Ordinary cultivators found it difficult to do such a thing, but Lin Tian's attainments in the Soul Dao were not weak to begin with, having reached the Grandmaster realm. Zhou Qiongtian could do nothing about it.
Zhou Qiongtian was still greatly interested in Lin Tian's Emperor-grade Cultivation Method, the Life Creation Art. Paired with Immaculate Pills, leveling up would be like riding a rocket.
Unfortunately, Lin Tian had destroyed his own Divine Soul, so Zhou Qiongtian had not obtained the complete Life Creation Art. A mere fragment was worse than not cultivating it at all.
Of the ten things in life, eight or nine go against one's wishes. It was impossible for everything to go as one desired.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Child of Destiny Lin Tian. The lottery system has been activated, cultivation has increased by three minor realms, and Destiny Points have increased by one million! Ding! The lottery system has been activated. Killing one Child of Destiny grants one lottery chance. Remaining lottery chances: one!
It was here. It was finally here!
An incomparably pure surge of energy flowed into him. Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation immediately rose from the early Eclosion stage to Eclosion Great Perfection. He could trigger the Saint Tribulation at any moment. Once he passed it, he would transcend the mortal and enter sainthood, becoming a Saint Realm expert!
One million Destiny Points—Zhou Qiongtian, who had been poor before, became rich in an instant.
And killing a Child of Destiny could earn one lottery chance? How many Children of Destiny were there?
Zhou Qiongtian used the Fortune Sensing Divine Ability to inspect his own fortune. His Fortune Pillar had grown even thicker, carrying the momentum of soaring into the heavens in a single flight. The Dark Cloud beside it had vanished, but although the black flames at the base of the Fortune Pillar had weakened somewhat, they still remained.
Zhou Qiongtian frowned. What exactly were those black flames?
When the Demon God saw Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation leap from the early Eclosion stage to Eclosion Great Perfection in an instant, his heart jolted. Good heavens, this brat had been playing the pig to eat the tiger. He really was a sinister old schemer.
Looking at the Saint Realm and Saint King experts outside the formation who were still crazily attacking it, Zhou Qiongtian felt a headache coming on. If this continued, the Venerable Tier Grand Formation would not last much longer.
"System, draw!"
As Zhou Qiongtian's words fell, a roulette wheel appeared before him. It had eight sections: one bottle of Saint-tier Breakthrough Pills, a Decoy Puppet, Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster Soul Dao True Intent, a Pure Body, the Divine Grade Cultivation Art Great Heaven Devouring Art, the Cosmic Dao supreme divine ability Void Escape, the Emperor Weapon Primordial Life Immortal Chain, and a Myriad Longevity Pill.
Joy immediately appeared on Zhou Qiongtian's face. All eight items were treasures. The Pure Body was a legendary supreme physique, the Decoy Puppet was equivalent to an extra life, the entire Zhou Clan possessed only one Emperor Weapon, and Divine Grade Cultivation Arts were things that did not even exist in Azure World.
A Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster of the Soul Dao—looking across all of history, the number of people in Azure World who had reached this realm could be counted on one hand.
The Cosmic Dao supreme divine ability Void Escape ignored space itself. It could even cross continents and travel among the stars.
A bottle of Saint-tier Breakthrough Pills contained ten pills. Even if they were not enough to let him break through to Saint King Great Perfection, they should at least allow him to reach the Late-stage Saint King realm. Taking too many pills of this kind would cause drug resistance and hidden dangers, possibly making one's foundation unstable.
The most useless among them was the Myriad Longevity Pill. It could extend one's Lifespan by ten thousand years and was absolutely the most coveted treasure for old monsters with little life remaining. But to Zhou Qiongtian, it was utterly tasteless. Perhaps he could trade it to some other old immortal for resources.
Zhou Qiongtian immediately began the draw, muttering, "Not the Myriad Longevity Pill, definitely not the Myriad Longevity Pill. Anything but the Myriad Longevity Pill is fine..."
His tone was filled with disdain for the Myriad Longevity Pill.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster Soul Dao True Intent!
In an instant, Zhou Qiongtian's attainments in the Soul Dao reached the Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster realm. His understanding of the Soul Dao immediately rose to an incredibly high level, reaching the pinnacle of perfection!
A Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster could comprehend and employ all knowledge related to a corresponding Great Dao, and creating divine abilities related to that Great Dao was as easy as turning one's hand over.
Zhou Qiongtian's expression turned strange. He was merely at Eclosion Great Perfection, yet both his Formation Dao and Soul Dao had reached the Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster level. This was a realm even Supremes could not attain.
Zhou Qiongtian looked at the Demon God Core. The Demon God's Divine Soul was inside, wasn't it? A smile that was not quite a smile appeared on Zhou Qiongtian's face. The moment the Demon God saw it, his heart shuddered, and a bad premonition rose from within.
"Wait, young friend, what are you trying to do? Don't act recklessly! We can cooperate; the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I am a supreme expert of the True God Realm!" the Demon God hurriedly shouted.
Zhou Qiongtian said coldly, "Hehe, we both know the truth. As long as you remain alive, I won't be at ease. Who would allow such a powerful enemy to live?"
"If you were in your prime, I truly could do nothing to you. But now that you are only a wisp of Divine Soul, do you think I still can't kill you?"
The Demon God gritted his teeth. "Young friend, must you force this to the point where you die and I perish? If you push me too far, then at worst, the fish dies and the net breaks!"
"Hehe, you're wrong. It will be you who dies and I who live. Only the fish will die; the net will not break!" Before Zhou Qiongtian finished speaking, a Divine Soul split from his sea of consciousness and drilled into the Demon God Core.
"Hahaha, brat, you're courting death! Watch me devour this Divine Soul of yours!" The Demon God burst into laughter, but in the next moment, his eyes widened. He shouted in terror, "How is this possible? How can your Divine Soul be so powerful? You're only at Eclosion Great Perfection!"
In the next instant, Zhou Qiongtian's Divine Soul devoured the Demon God's Divine Soul!
The Demon God had fallen!
