"Hiss...!"
At the sight of that drastically transformed figure, its human aura mingled with demon qi.
Si Mingwei could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
"You... you're still alive!"
Not only that, she discovered to her shock that the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Origin Power coming from him were far stronger than before.
He had actually reached four-star Source Emperor Realm, entering the middle stage.
"Hehehe..."
By now, Ye Beixuan was floating several dozen yards in front of them.
A savage grin spread across his face, exposing sharp fangs, and his laughter was shrill and grating.
"You two really do work closely together. Your methods are remarkably deadly.
To think you actually forced this sect master to use my 'Baleful Demon Body.' What a surprise."
"Baleful Demon Body."
Both Gu Chenfeng and Si Mingwei looked startled and uncertain.
Ye Beixuan lowered his head, looking at his half-human, half-demon body and feeling his own formidable strength.
He seemed to be admiring a perfect 'work of art,' his face filled with smug satisfaction.
"This is a body I forged using a secret art to fuse myself with the flesh of a gravely wounded, dying Source Emperor Realm great demon, the Six-Winged Demon Bat King, and devour its primordial spirit.
After fusing with this Demon Bat King's body, not only did my strength increase enormously and my flesh become exceptionally powerful, but I also gained many of its innate abilities."
After saying that, Ye Beixuan seemed somewhat regretful.
"Unfortunately, my fusion with this great demon wasn't perfect. Every time I use the Baleful Demon Body, it brings considerable backlash.
And I have to keep devouring Demon Race inner cores and essence blood over the long term to maintain this secret art."
Hearing this, both Si Mingwei's and Gu Chenfeng's expressions shifted.
