Ruthless and Few Words
Then the lava receded, submerging most of Niu Dingtian's body. He stood up from the pit and walked out, lifting Niu Han, who had been crushed into a meat patty under his buttocks, out of nowhere. Niu Han had been struck by a plum blossom slam and was dead.
However, it could also be said that Niu Han did not die. Niu Dingtian had taught the entire Ox Family the Poisonous Shell Technique, Niu Han naturally also practiced it. This was equivalent to having another life, which was accompanied by a deadly poison. A strange poison had already spread to Niu Dingtian's body, continuously weakening him. However, after only a second, it lost its effect and he became immune to it.
Discarding the shell in his hand—it was worthless— Niu Han materialized from the other side, his body twisting and turning, the black stripes on his body increasing, and then black scales emerging one by one.
Niu Dingtian and Niu Han were originally both enemies and friends. Their relationship started with playing in the mud and fighting, and continued until their souls awakened. If it weren't for the accident involving Lu Li, Niu Dingtian would probably have awakened a similar soul and continued his love-hate relationship with Niu Han.
However, after awakening their life souls, the gap between the two gradually emerged. Niu Dingtian became stronger and stronger. During the test at Great Cloud Mountain, opponents that Niu Dingtian. At that moment, Niu Han felt a deep sense of humiliation.
After receiving Niu Han Niu Dingtian's shadow blood, Niu Han's soul mutated, and he also awakened a new ability. His originally weak strength began to improve rapidly. With this new ability and the ruthlessness brought by that humiliation, Niu Han began his extraordinary journey.
I don't know if it's because of the deep impression left by Niu Dingtian's ability to advance by consuming large amounts of medicine, but in any case, Niu Han's ability is also related to eating. As long as he eats a certain object, he can gain some of the characteristics of that object.
If your physical strength isn't enough, then eat metals and ores. If your Xuan power isn't strong enough, then eat the Xuan power of other people. If your control ability isn't strong enough, then eat people with strong control abilities alive.
Unlike Niu Dingtian's method of absorbing food, Niu Han had to eat the target alive through his mouth and then have it digested by his stomach to gain that ability. Niu Han got used to it after vomiting for a while.
Whether it's due to the special bloodline of the Ox Family or not, the people of the Ox Family all have this kind of ruthlessness. Although Niu Dingtian's current demon king image was mostly created by Lu Li, some parts were also added by Niu Dingtian himself.
Niu Han chuckled. Although he had wasted a highly poisonous shell, he felt himself rapidly strengthening as the scales were slowly digested. It was precisely because of this that Niu Han wanted to devour Niu Dingtian and become the new Demon King.
"Very good, I'm getting more and more excited!" Two of Niu Dingtian's three weak points have already been broken. As long as the last scale at the root of his tongue is broken, his Divine-Demon Body will be broken. Without the unreasonable power of the Divine-Demon Body, if Niu Dingtian is surrounded, he will basically only be killed.
It could be said that Niu Dingtian brought all of this upon himself. The enemy was too weak for him to get excited about, but once his two weaknesses were exploited, Niu Dingtian was completely in the zone and grinned.
"Niu Dingtian, you demon, if you have any conscience left, you should surrender." Under Niu Dingtian's pressure, the Heaven's Will Sword also entered a state of explosive power. In other words, anyone present who had not entered this state would have already been killed by Niu Dingtian.
"You treat humans as food and medicine. Having gained this power, just how many people have you consumed!" Unhidden Edge said coldly. After losing his blazing iron sword, he broke through to the realm of "nothing in heaven and earth is not a sword" under the crisis of life and death, and his strength did not decline.
"What a weakling's thoughts." Niu Dingtian stretched his body, the impurities on his body began to float away, and his huge body slowly shrank. He grinned and said, "Sheep eat grass, people eat sheep, and I eat people. Isn't it only right for the Demon King to eat people?"
"So, the Demon King is the most powerful being at the top of the food chain." Niu Dingtian's spirit was burning fiercely. "As for how many people you've eaten, do you even remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten so far?"
"Words are useless. You want to stop everything? Come and kill me!" Niu Dingtian his hand, clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, covered his mouth with one hand, and struck at Unhidden Edge with the other.
The speed of his punch was unbelievable. A black shadow flashed by Unhidden Edge unleashed his Xuan power to its maximum, transforming it into the most powerful sword of his life. In his current state, it was enough to kill his past self at will.
Before Niu Dingtian's fist even arrived, Unhidden Edge was instantly reduced to a bloody mist. Niu Dingtian opened his hand, absorbing all the bloody mist into his Niu Dingtian. He shouted frantically, "Too weak! The improvement is still too slow!"
However, Unhidden Edge was not strong enough, not Unhidden Edge not improved enough, but because Niu Dingtian had become stronger and improved even more. A sword light flashed, and the flesh Niu Dingtian's neck was cut open. The Heaven's Will Sword clearly intended to pierce through Niu Dingtian's last weak point from behind.
At the same time, the Life-and-Death Blade wielded its long blade that could sever life and death, directly severing the bone at the Niu Dingtian's neck. A towering pillar of fire surged toward the wound. The Blazing Prairie Fire, which could originally only fuse seven or eight kinds of flames, under the Blazing Prairie Fire, burned its own body, turning itself into a flame. It poured all its will into the flame, fusing dozens of flames into a flame elemental life form.
Niu Han's scales trembled as he began to gather his power, waiting for Niu Dingtian's Divine-Demon Body to be broken so he could seize the kill. He was determined to become the new Demon King, and only by personally killing Niu Dingtian could he obtain his power.
Qi Rou's thoughts were not so complicated. Her purpose in existing was to kill Niu Dingtian. Her own soul was burning, driving the Black Wind to corrode Niu Dingtian's body.
Divine Mystic Seal formed various hand seals, and the various energies within his body were Synchronization, transforming into opposing yet unified Yin and Yang energies. Even the life soul that Integration his body was slowly transformed into Yin and Yang.
His will was clearer than ever before. Through this method, he completely took control of his life soul, connected with the life soul space, and his spiritual will spread into the Dreamlands of this world. In that illusory and real world, he seemed to hear something singing.
"Truth and falsehood are also opposites and unity." Divine Mystic Seal's eyes were filled with fervor. Compared to others, he took that step earlier and entered the fifth rank of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, the Divine Rank.
Of course, divine items are also divided into five levels, but those levels are much more distant, and the body of the Divine Mystic Seal undergoes a fundamental change.
A massive pillar of fire burst through the obstruction from Niu Dingtian's neck and shot out of his mouth, finally breaching the last weak point—the scales at the Niu Dingtian tongue.
Happy birthday to Alpaca (the one who survives while all else withers), though it might be a bit outdated (facepalm). Fourth update complete, catching up on chapters 9/12.
