Lin Heng hovered one meter above the ground, slowly lowering his arms, opening his eyes, and looking completely relaxed.
Yan Lang's Fire Dragon's Furious Charge made Lin Heng feel that his cultivation had increased significantly. With a few more moves, he might be able to reach the level of Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
But after waiting for a long time, Yan Lang still didn't make a sound, which worried Lin Heng a lot. He quickly opened his eyes and looked over.
When Lin Heng looked at Yan Lang, Yan Lang was also staring at him in shock.
The two looked at each other, both filled with doubt.
Yan Lang was puzzled as to why Lin Heng was completely unharmed after he had devoured the combined full force of a thousand living beings.
Lin Heng didn't understand why the other party suddenly stopped; hadn't he just stood there letting him hit him?
The two were staring at each other when Sun Yuan's angry curses came from not far away.
"Holy crap! What are you and him doing, gazing at each other so affectionately?"
"If you don't come to help soon, you can prepare to collect my corpse!"
Lin Heng turned his gaze away from Yan Lang and looked towards Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan, Fourth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm, was facing two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm at the same time. Even though the Five-Spirit Fierce Ape clan was powerful, they were still somewhat unable to cope.
When Lin Heng looked over, Sun Yuan was already completely on the defensive.
This is only possible because of Sun Yuan; any other Fourth-Grade Heavenly Venerable would probably have been killed long ago.
Lin Heng also understood that if he didn't share the pressure with Sun Yuan, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
However, there is still Yan Lang fused with the formation in front of him. Even if Lin Heng wanted to rush over, Yan Lang would definitely stop him.
With this in mind, Lin Heng had no choice but to release the Nether Ancestor Puppet.
Although the Nether Ancestor Puppet could not possibly be a match for the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm, it was still sufficient to help Sun Yuan relieve some of the pressure.
Furthermore, when reforging the Nether Ancestor, in addition to using the remains of the Heavenly Dipper Race, Lin Heng also used his Power of Origin to enhance it. To put it simply, he strengthened the defense of the Heavenly Dipper Race's remains, making the Nether Ancestor Puppet's body more resilient.
Even if he can't defeat Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, taking a beating isn't a big problem, since he's just there to share the damage and give Sun Yuan some breathing room.
As expected, after the Nether Ancestor Puppet joined the battle, the situation on Sun Yuan's side changed drastically.
Possessing five Power of Origin, along with the Nine-Origin Overlapping Waves Staff and a high-level Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure, Sun Yuan, now displaying his full combat strength, has begun his counterattack.
With the Nether Ancestor Puppet taking the hits in front, Sun Yuan unleashed a barrage of attacks from behind, managing to hold off the two Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable for a while.
Sun Yuan's situation was temporarily relieved, while Lin Heng continued to look at Yan Lang, preparing to fleece him.
There are over 100,000 living beings within this Heavenly Ghost Fire Spirit Array.
Previously, Yan Lang had only devoured a thousand or so.
Even so, absorbing the energy of these thousands of creatures significantly boosted Lin Heng's cultivation. How could Lin Heng possibly let go of the remaining creature energy?
But seeing Yan Lang's dumbfounded expression, Lin Heng skipped a beat.
Could it be that I scared this guy by devouring the fire skull and the Flame Dragon in succession?
It seems that without provoking Yan Lang, he won't be able to continue his attack.
" Yan Lang, is this your attack?"
"I thought you had some amazing trump card up your sleeve, and this is it?"
Lin Heng's contemptuous gaze and disdainful tone caused Yan Lang, who was still in a daze, to regain his cold expression.
Even though Lin Heng had absorbed his attack energy twice, Yan Lang still didn't believe that Lin Heng could absorb it indefinitely.
At this moment, Yan Lang resembled a gambler who had lost everything.
He was unwilling to give up even the slightest chance.
Since a thousand living beings couldn't burst Lin Heng's Ancient Void Physique, let's add more!
Five thousand, ten thousand...
Yan Lang did not believe that the 100,000 living beings in the Heavenly Ghost Fire Spirit Array could not overwhelm Lin Heng.
" Blood Soul Spirit Devouring!"
In his frenzied state, Yan Lang began to find grabbing living beings with his hands too slow. He opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply, the powerful suction spreading outwards. Living beings within a radius of ten thousand feet uncontrollably turned into specks of light and surged into his mouth.
Yan Lang's breath was incredibly powerful, drawing in seven or eight thousand creatures.
The violent energy further expanded Yan Lang's Fire Spirit Body.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Yan Lang, Lin Heng's heart skipped a beat, and a tangible flame gleam appeared in his eyes.
" Mystic Fire Fury!"
Yan Lang stood still, his hands clasped together, and a strange, fiery lotus flower slowly rose from the tips of his fingers.
Lin Heng's eyes were fixed on the fiery lotus, the energy contained within it far exceeding the strongest attack energy of Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
After rising above Yan Lang's head, the flaming lotus began to spin rapidly and flew towards Lin Heng's location.
The lotus flower spins, and flames rise!
Wherever it goes, it annihilates everything!
But as the Flame Lotus approached Lin Heng, Lin Heng discovered that it was beginning to swell.
"Not good!"
Lin Heng instantly guessed Yan Lang's intention: this guy actually planned to self-destruct his Flame Lotus to launch an attack against him with the explosion.
Lin Heng can absorb the energy of this Origin of Fire, but he can only absorb it in advance.
However, if the Origin of Fire explodes, not only will this energy be unabsorbable, but it will also cause considerable harm to oneself.
This time, Lin Heng did not choose to wait. Instead, he leaped up and rushed straight towards the Flame Lotus.
Seeing Lin Heng rush towards the Flame Lotus and even plunge into its interior, Yan Lang's eyes lit up with joy.
If we're talking about the location with the strongest explosive power, it's naturally the interior of the Flame Lotus.
But Lin Heng couldn't just stand there and let you control the flaming lotus to descend, so Yan Lang chose to explode it ahead of time.
But to his utter surprise, Lin Heng not only didn't dodge, but also charged in himself—wasn't that just courting death?
Yan Lang couldn't wait to detonate the Flame Lotus and blast Lin Heng to smithereens.
What happened?
Just as Yan Lang was about to detonate the Flame Lotus, he discovered that the Flame Lotus had completely stopped moving.
Not only did Yan Lang lose control of the Flame Lotus, but he was also horrified to discover that the Flame Lotus's energy was rapidly dissipating.
The fiery lotus, which was originally a kilometer in size, is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, the flaming lotus vanished completely.
Then look at Lin Heng, hovering in mid-air, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Could it be...?
A bold guess popped into Yan Lang's mind.
'boom!'
Having swallowed such powerful energy in one fell swoop, Lin Heng's cultivation level instantly jumped from the Seventh-Grade Heavenly Venerable to the Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable. At the moment of the breakthrough, the energy burst out uncontrollably.
The moment Lin Heng broke through, Yan Lang felt an overwhelming surge of anger.
Just as he had guessed, Lin Heng absorbed all of his energy attack and made it his own!
