"That was... Great Demon King Bart's origin demonic essence and origin baleful energy."
Qin Hao's heart stirred, and he immediately understood what had happened.
Although Great Demon King Bart had died, his remaining origin demonic essence and origin baleful energy had both entered Great Demon King Babbo's body.
Origin demonic essence was the core of the outer realm demon spirits. Every Demon King possessed it, much like a cultivator's divine soul.
Normally, other Demon Kings could not devour origin demonic essence alone, but Great Demon King Bart and Great Demon King Babbo were clearly different.
First, they were brothers by blood and shared the same bloodline. Second, they cultivated the same secret art.
Great Demon King Bart was an earth-baleful demon.
Great Demon King Babbo was a heavenly-baleful demon.
The two were essentially the same, belonging to a single secret art.
Although Great Demon King Bart had died, the demonic essence of his earth-baleful demon remained. Together with his origin demonic essence, it entered Great Demon King Babbo's body...
Great Demon King Babbo's strength instantly soared.
He now fully possessed the combat power of a Peak-Rank Great Demon King.
"A Peak-Rank Great Demon King?"
There was no fear in Qin Hao's eyes. Instead, he licked his lips, excitement and eagerness surfacing in his gaze.
In the past, Qin Hao would naturally have been helpless against a Peak-Rank Great Demon King.
But now...
Things were different!
Of course.
To contend with a Peak-Rank Great Demon King using the Nine Abyss Sword Tide alone.
Namely, Great Demon King Babbo, whose strength had just soared...
That was clearly all but impossible.
However.
Qin Hao had his own trump card.
"This is the perfect chance to test the power of the Crimson Moon Origin-Returning Slash!"
