After an unknown amount of time, when Qi Ling had finished charging up "Super: Tyrant Dragon Fist," the Hundred-Eyed Demon King still showed no unusual reaction, indicating that Bei Na's attack had not yet succeeded.
Just when he thought he was really about to become the "male" protagonist in an adult anime, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King suddenly reacted. All its tentacles stopped moving, and at the same time, thousands of golden rays radiated from all its eyes.
"Damn, what's wrong with this girl? Why is she making such a big show of it?" Qi Ling didn't have time to complain. Her fist had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Without hesitation, she threw a punch.
Super: Tyrant Dragon Fist!
With an unparalleled punch, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King's tentacles instantly turned to ashes. His entire body swelled uncontrollably, then exploded with a deafening roar, scattering into countless pieces of flesh.
Amidst the blood and gore, Bei Na reappeared, embracing Qi Ling tightly. " Qi Ling! I did it! I did it!"
"Yes, yes, you succeeded, that's amazing." Qi Ling helplessly reached out to touch Bei Na's head, but after transforming, Bei Na was already taller than Qi Ling, and this time he didn't succeed.
After the Hundred-Eyed Demon King died, a black Soul Ring appeared on his remains.
Judging from the quality of this Soul Ring, this Hundred-Eyed Demon King is at least 30,000 years old. No wonder it has such power that it took Qi Ling and Bei Na working together to defeat it.
"This is the Soul Ring you wanted? With such a high age limit, can you absorb it?" Bei Na asked curiously, looking at the jet-black Soul Ring.
"Don't worry, I actually think its age is too young," Qi Ling said with a smile. He was wondering if he could also obtain Crystal Soul Ring if his Third Soul Ring absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
It seems that the chances of this are indeed slim. Even if Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring really exists, Qi Ling doesn't think he can absorb it successfully, because he had already done the bone-shattering rebirth when he was cultivating the True Dragon Body, and doing it again wouldn't have any effect.
"Alright, then you can absorb it here without worry. It's so secluded, no one should bother you," Bei Na said. "I need to hurry and report this to my friends, and also clean the blood off me! Ugh, it's disgusting."
Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh, "You silly girl, take another look at yourself. Is there any dirt left on you?"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Bei Na looked down at herself and was surprised to find that all the blood, flesh, and filth had disappeared, and even the ground was now clean.
"What... what happened? Where did all those things go?" Bei Na asked in surprise.
" The Hundred-Eyed Demon King's tentacles are illusions, and its body is naturally an illusion as well," Qi Ling said. "It's so realistic, seemingly an illusion yet not quite, that this thing is far more powerful than you imagine! It was just unlucky to run into us."
If Qi Ling didn't possess the passive ability of the Divine Dragon Emperor, it would definitely be the two of them who perished here today. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King's true power has yet to be fully revealed.
Then, Qi Ling pointed to the ground, and Bei Na looked closely and saw an ugly little monster lying there, with a large single eye taking up most of its body, looking comical and ridiculous.
"What is this?" Bei Na asked curiously.
"This is the true form of the Hundred-Eyed Demon King; the others are merely illusions," Qi Ling said.
Bei Na quickly believed Qi Ling's explanation, because the black Soul Ring had indeed appeared from this unremarkable little Soul Beast. It just goes to show that the world is full of wonders.
After the initial surprise, Bei Na bid farewell to Qi Ling once more, saying reluctantly as she left, " Qi Ling, you said... we'll meet again, right?"
"Of course, Bei Na, we are destined to meet. Even if you don't want to see me, we will definitely meet again!" Qi Ling said with a smile. The Eight Gods and Eight Devils are intertwined in fate, and this was not something he was making up.
Having received this answer, Bei Na left satisfied, while Qi Ling summoned her Blood Devil Emperor Soul Seal and reached for the black Soul Ring.
The expected extreme pain struck again. Each absorption of the Blood Devil Emperor Soul Ring felt like a life-or-death struggle; either he would subdue the Soul Ring or he would die.
Lying on the ground in agony, Qi Ling's expression was already distorted. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King had essentially died at Qi Ling's hands, and his hatred for him was unimaginable. Naturally, he would not let him go so easily.
Qi Ling also fainted from the immense pain, but his body continued to struggle against this force, and it was unknown how long it would continue.
Meanwhile, after leaving the cave, Bei Na skipped and hopped towards the depths of the forest, and soon arrived at a lake where she stopped.
If Qi Ling saw this lake, it would look very familiar, because this is the place where the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape brought Xiao Wu, the most famous lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Now that Bei Na has come here, it's not hard to guess who her friends are! They are none other than the forest overlords, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Hey! Da Hei, Niu Niu, where are you? I'm back!" Bei Na stood by the lake and shouted into the water.
Upon hearing Bei Na's voice, a short while later, the center of the lake churned, and a huge bull's head rose from it, swimming towards them.
At the same time, a commotion arose in the forest, and a huge chimpanzee pushed through the bushes and emerged from the woods.
" Bei Na, you're back. Are you alright?" The Sky Azure Bull Python looked at Bei Na and asked with concern.
"It's alright, Niu Niu. Not only am I not injured, but I also defeated that Hundred-Eyed Demon King!" Bei Na said proudly.
"What? You actually killed the Hundred-Eyed Demon King?" The Sky Azure Bull Python was taken aback upon hearing this news.
He knew how troublesome that guy was. Although he and Er Ming weren't afraid of it, they couldn't do anything about it. He never expected that Bei Na could actually kill it. This was really beyond his expectations.
"Of course I didn't do it all by myself, Niu Niu, Da Hei, let me tell you, I met an amazing person!" Bei Na said excitedly, and then told him about Qi Ling.
Seeing Bei Na's happy expression, the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but recall Xiao Wu's past appearance. Back then, when she had transformed into human form, she had also been just as happy, telling them about someone.
"So, isn't he amazing?" After saying that, Bei Na looked at the Sky Azure Bull Python with great anticipation, as if waiting for his comment.
"Yes, that's impressive. From your description, I only know of one other person with such great abilities at this age," the Sky Azure Bull Python said slowly.
"That guy once took a punch from my second brother and even managed to knock him back!"
