Demon Venerable Inheritance (I)
(No one's voting lately, I'm so sad... Please give me your rating votes!)
One hundred thousand S5-level masters—what a concept that is!
"Heh heh, Mordor, you forced me to this! Now you'll taste the horror of being devoured by ten thousand corpses! One hundred thousand demonic corpses, kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Heaven Corpse roared wildly, and the 100,000 Demon Corpses all howled and then swarmed towards Mordor like countless locusts.
What does a quantity of hundreds of thousands mean?
The overwhelming and terrifying aura that swept over everything was absolutely superior to any strong person. This move was also the trump card of Heaven Corpse, a Star King level expert, which he used to survive.
Mordor, composed of magical elements, was also taken aback. He could naturally see the power of his opponent's move, but he sneered, "Trying to use a numbers game with me? Fine, I'll show you the wonder of magic! 'Four-Element Summoning' —heavy earth, ethereal wind, raging fire, gentle water—I gather you with supreme magic power. Manifest as I will!"
With a long cry, waves of magical energy rippled, and the earth trembled first, rumbling incessantly. Soon, countless earth elementals, each over three meters tall, rose from the ground. Then came the wind, a fierce gale that formed countless small Tornado —the wind element. Next, Fire Elemental and Water Element were also condensed by magic. In an instant, the world was filled with thousands of the four elemental types, but still far outnumbered the hundred thousand demonic corpses.
"Mordor, your Four-Element Summoning is powerful, but it can only summon a few thousand at most before your magic can't sustain it. As for me, I command an army of 100,000 demonic corpses. Wherever I go, nothing grows, and I can easily flatten thousands of cities. Today, I will completely eradicate you and then devour your planet! Hahahaha!" Seeing that Mordor had only summoned a few thousand elemental beings, the Heaven Corpse laughed wildly in his heart. He thought this was normal, after all, summoning elemental beings with magic power requires a lot of magic power. No matter how strong Mordor was, his magic power was limited. On the other hand, his 100,000 demonic corpses did not require any effort. He only needed to infect some experts to gain these loyal subordinates.
Soon, the demonic corpses and elemental beings clashed, beginning a fierce battle. The elemental beings possessed formidable attack power, but the demonic corpses were equally fearless. Almost every contact resulted in an extremely brutal fight. However, the numerical advantage of the demonic corpses quickly became apparent. Although each magical elemental strike could blast a demonic corpse into dust, for every one that died, another would take its place. Even if the 100,000 demonic corpse soldiers stood still, wiping them all out would be a difficult task.
Although magical elements have no physical form, they still dissipate when attacked. Therefore, in just a moment, more than half of the magical elements vanished into nothingness, torn apart by the demonic corpse.
"Hahaha, Mordor, accept your fate! Today is your death day!" Seeing his 100,000 demonic corpses were exceptionally powerful, the Heaven Corpse also excitedly roared. However, he soon realized that something was wrong.
Mordor showed no fear, gripping his staff with both hands and chanting incantations.
A snowflake drifted slowly down from the sky and landed on a demonic corpse soldier. In an instant, the snowflake exploded, releasing a burst of cold air that instantly froze the demonic corpse.
"This... this is that forbidden spell from just now?" The Heaven Corpse suddenly remembered that Mordor seemed to be preparing a forbidden spell, but it seemed that the casting was interrupted because he summoned 100,000 demonic corpses.
"Freeze the Nine Heavens... Freeze the Nine Heavens, that's it! This is Mordor's top-tier ice magic. It's said to be able to freeze everything and has boundless power. No, I absolutely cannot let him succeed in casting this spell!"
"Too late!"
After reciting the last incantation, Mordor opened his eyes.
More and more snowflakes fell from the sky. These seemingly insignificant snowflakes, if they touched anything, would immediately release terrifying cold air that could freeze anything. Although the army of 100,000 demon corpses below was large, they were also covered by more snowflakes. In an instant, countless demon corpses were frozen and formed into countless large ice blocks.
The Heaven Corpse tried to salvage the situation, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the entire army of 100,000 demonic corpses was turned into blocks of ice, wiped out by a single magical attack.
"Mordor, I swear I will never let you go!" Seeing his painstakingly built army of demonic corpses wiped out, the Heaven Corpse was furious and filled with fear.
He knew he was no match for Mordor, and now that he had lost his greatest asset, there was no point in staying any longer.
Thinking of this, the Heaven Corpse turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
"Trying to run?" Mordor roared, waving his hand, and a crystal of ice shot out, heading straight for the Heaven Corpse. The ice crystal was crystal clear, like the most beautiful diamond, but it contained extreme cold.
Upon seeing Mordor release the ice crystals, the Heaven Corpse's expression changed drastically, and it moved even faster, but it still couldn't shake off the ice crystals. Seeing this, the Heaven Corpse's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and it suddenly spat out a chunk of flesh.
The piece of flesh fell straight down without attracting anyone's attention. After hitting the ground, it transformed into a grotesque worm and burrowed into the earth, disappearing from sight. Meanwhile, in the air, the ice crystal finally caught up with the Heaven Corpse. He let out a scream and was enveloped by the terrifying cold air bursting from the ice crystal. Moments later, this once incredibly powerful Star King-level expert was completely frozen solid.
"Hmph, the light of a firefly dares to compete with the bright moon, overestimating itself. But how exactly did these Heaven Corpse enter the Divine Ruins? That needs to be investigated carefully. I have a feeling that something is amiss!" Mordor chanted an incantation, and the ice block encasing the 100,000 demonic corpses shattered with a crash, turning the corpses inside into pieces and rotten flesh. The 100,000 demonic corpses shattered and fell from the sky like a rain of blood.
The ice block that encased the Heaven Corpse was taken back by Mordor, who intended to use the 'Memory Trace' magic to probe the Heaven Corpse's memories and obtain the information he desired.
At the same time, Li Wei, who was underground, slowly opened his eyes. With a movement of his arm, a cracking sound came from his bones. This feeling was like taking a dozen powerful tonics, and Li Wei felt a sense of comfort throughout his body. At Li Wei's level, he had long since mastered the method of internal vision. Looking down, Li Wei discovered that the bones in his body were no longer the same as before, but were like fine jade, with a luster and texture even better than Jade Bone Madam.
"Good, good, this Jade Bone Method is indeed miraculous. Bones are the foundation of blood. Strong bones lead to strong blood, and strong blood leads to abundant true energy. Although it is only a change in bones, the entire body has undergone a qualitative change. Amazing!" Li Wei sighed inwardly. He could feel the Great Strength contained within his body. At this moment, he was confident that even if he were hit a few times by the Three Yin Six Demons with all their might, he would probably be fine.
Li Wei took a deep breath, then vibrated his entire body, compressed his chest and lungs, and suddenly exhaled the air. The originally invisible and gentle air was now sharper than a sword and more powerful than a cannonball. The air emitted a piercing whistle, then carved a trench in the ground and finally slammed into the opposite Rock Wall.
With a deafening roar, the Rock Wall exploded, sending debris flying everywhere. Li Wei's exhalation, like a cannonball, blasted a huge crater into the Rock Wall.
"The cultivation technique is complete. With my many special skills and the power of the eighteen stars, I should be able to deal with the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable!" Full of confidence, Li Wei got up and walked towards the Hall of Myriad Ghosts not far away.
Upon entering, the Black Paper still displayed a prompt: "Ruins discovered, the Hall of Myriad Ghosts. Challenge the Demon Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable? Upon victory, you will receive the Demon Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable's divine essence inheritance..."
"I agree to the challenge!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wei saw the Hall of Myriad Ghosts tremble, followed by howls and wailing, as if ten thousand ghosts were truly howling.
Immediately afterwards, the statue of the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable began to move. Just like the previous statue of the Three Yin Six Demons, it burst forth with a terrifying aura, and then the statue came to life!
As the saying goes, it's easy to fall into demonic possession but difficult to become an immortal. In fact, achieving extraordinary success in the demonic path is even more difficult. And those who can be called Demon Lords in the demonic path are few and far between. Anyone who takes this step is a powerful and influential figure. Take the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable, for example. After its resurrection, the aura it exuded was extraordinary. It did not attack directly, but stared at Li Wei with its eyes wide open.
It remained still, but Li Wei couldn't remain still. Who knew what kind of underhanded schemes or tricks this Demon Lord might be plotting?
"Let's test the waters with the Ten Thousand Swords Art first! Golden Emperor's command, myriad swords resound, break!" Li Wei made a sword hand seal, and then heard countless sword cries.
Given Li Wei's current Star King level, he has already upgraded the Myriad Sword Technique to its top level. At this moment, he can condense more than 10,000 swords. Li Wei himself is among them, and he truly has the aura of a king of ten thousand swords. It seems that as long as he nods, the ten thousand swords will obey his command and attack the enemy together. The sword light is so bright that it seems that it can pierce a big hole in the sky.
Under the sword's force, the Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable seemed to feel the pressure as well. He raised the 'Nine-Skull Artifact' in his hand, chanted a command, and countless black mists flew out, forming countless fierce ghosts in the air. The momentum was no less than that of Li Wei's Ten Thousand Swords Art.
"This Nine-Skull Artifact is similar to the Ghost King's Ten Thousand Ghosts Cloak; it's also a treasure for imprisoning fierce ghosts. Alright, let's see if you can withstand my Ten Thousand Swords Art!" Li Wei chuckled and shouted. The tens of thousands of swords in the sky seemed to hear the command of their supreme sword emperor, bursting out clusters of sword light and bursts of sword cries, their power shaking the heavens.
"Kill!"
At a command, ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously, tearing through the air itself, their myriad beams of light aimed directly at the Demon Myriad Ghosts Demon Venerable. The latter snorted coldly, and countless vengeful spirits emerging from the Nine-Skull Artifact let out strange cries as they charged forward.
The sword light clashed with the vengeful ghost.
