The Demon King Is Dumbfounded, a Breakthrough in Battle
Jiang Cheng focused his mind and sensed for a long time, but still couldn't connect with the hidden hand left in his body. He panicked completely and cried out in alarm:
"Impossible! How could I not sense the backup I left in my physical body?"
How could you erase it so quickly!
Elder Luo cackled, his tone sinister. "You cunning and treacherous brat, but in the end, I, the king, am one step ahead!"
The Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method I passed on to you was originally modified from my clan's Heaven-Devouring Devil Cultivation Method.
Furthermore, the Qi and Blood, spiritual power, and soul you absorbed using my Law Treasure have all been secretly imprinted with my divine soul mark.
I have already secretly transformed your physical body into the most suitable vessel for me.
I also secretly absorbed the Power of the Soul you devoured to restore my own spirit.
Previously, your Primordial Spirit controlled your physical body, while I only had a wisp of remnant soul left, making it naturally difficult for you to possess me.
Now that you've voluntarily relinquished control of your physical body, even if my soul hasn't fully recovered, taking over your body shouldn't be too difficult."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng was horrified, his very Primordial Spirit trembling violently, and he roared:
No! How could this be!
Elder Luo, you can't do this! I awakened you and helped you repair your soul; I am your benefactor!
You can't repay kindness with enmity!
"Boy, although you were the one who awakened me, I have also avenged you!"
Non-Self, you would still be oppressed by Lin Jian, how could you possibly have reached the Void Return Realm?
Besides, I've fallen into this predicament entirely thanks to you people of the Azure Billows Realm. Today, I'll use you to help me recover my cultivation!
After taking control of the physical body, Elder Luo immediately activated his Devil Cultivation Method to devour and refine Jiang Cheng's Primordial Spirit. He absorbed all the surging power of the primordial Primordial Spirit to repair the damaged soul.
His body was filled with demonic energy, and his wounds healed rapidly. Even his severed left arm grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Bai Qianqian saw the sudden burst of overwhelming demonic energy from Jiang Cheng, a look of surprise and doubt flashed across her face.
The demonic energy was remarkably similar to the demonic aura of the Demonic Flame Sect. Furthermore, the opponent's aura had drastically changed, as if they had become a completely different person.
Her face darkened instantly, and she realized with a start, "You're Devil Race! You're possessing him!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Luo's eyes blazed with demonic light, and he let out a wild, cackling laugh:
"Hahaha, I never expected that in this Age of Dharma Decline of the Azure Billows Realm, there would still be people who recognize the Devil Race. That's quite a strange thing!"
Unfortunately, you realize this too late. I will devour you in a moment and use you as nourishment to restore my cultivation!
You think you can kill me so easily?
Bai Qianqian coldly retorted, "Even if your cultivation was once unparalleled, you now have to rely on possessing others, which shows that your strength has not recovered much at all."
Today, I will utterly annihilate you, this remnant of the Devil Race race!
Having said that, her aura surged dramatically, her eyes filled with killing intent, and her figure streaked through the air like a shooting star, instantly closing in.
The intention was to kill the opponent before they could fully possess the body.
She immediately unleashed a fierce sword light that seemed to annihilate heaven and earth, carrying the power to destroy all things, heading straight for Elder Luo.
"Hahaha! With your meager cultivation level, you dare to boast about killing me? You're delusional!"
Luo Sha laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surrounding land, "I, Demon King Luo Sha, even if I am only a wisp of remnant soul left, am still invincible in this world!"
You lowly ant, how dare you provoke me, the king?
Back in the day, countless immortals from the Azure Billows Realm died at my hands!
Today I will devour you to help me recover my cultivation. When I succeed, I will surely wash the Azure Billows Realm in blood and avenge the grudge of yesteryear!
Without moving, he raised his hand and swung his blade, unleashing a fierce and domineering black blade light that pierced the air and met the killing sword light head-on.
"Boom!"
The sword light and the blade energy collided violently, annihilating each other. The surrounding void twisted violently, and cracks spread out like a spider web.
Bai Qianqian had already closed in, her killing intent soaring to the heavens, her spirit sword aimed straight at Luo Sha's face:
You have no chance! Today is your death day!
Luo Sha sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and swung his blade to meet the attack.
"Clang!"
Swords clashed, and the two were jolted, immediately locked in combat. Their swords and demonic blades moved with impenetrable speed, each move ruthless and cunning, aimed directly at their opponent's vitals.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The crisp clanging sounds echoed continuously, resounding throughout the surrounding area.
"Kill!"
Bai Qianqian's eyes flashed with a cold light, her killing intent burning fiercely. The attack of her spirit sword became increasingly fierce, determined to cut down this Devil Race.
Luo Sha was extremely experienced in combat; every single one of her attacks was precisely blocked.
On the contrary, as the fight dragged on, his counterattacks became increasingly fierce, putting her under greater pressure.
But she showed no fear. Instead, she focused her mind and energy on the battle, wanting to take this opportunity to train herself.
The longer Luo Sha fought, the more intense the killing intent in his eyes became.
He never expected that his opponent, who was only at the Middle Dao Soul Realm, could fight him to a standstill and even subtly put him at a disadvantage!
Although he now only had a wisp of remnant soul left, he was unable to fully control his physical body or completely refine Jiang Cheng's Primordial Spirit.
However, he was originally at the Demon King Realm (Immortal King Realm) cultivation level. Even though his cultivation had not recovered and he was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, he was still far beyond the reach of a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Void Return Realm.
But Bai Qianqian in front of him was evenly matched with him, and what was worse, her combat power was constantly increasing as the battle progressed.
This filled him with doubt; could this woman be the reincarnation of Immortal King?
Otherwise, how could they possibly contend with me, and how would they recognize me as Devil Race?
"Who exactly are you? How do you possess such power? Could you perhaps be the reincarnation of Immortal King from the Azure Billows Realm?"
Bai Qianqian moved like lightning, her swordplay becoming increasingly swift and dense, each move aimed directly at vital points.
Although she had the upper hand, her heart grew heavier and heavier.
The opponent's attacks grew increasingly fierce, clearly indicating that they were close to completely taking control of the body and completing the possession.
Her sword thrusts continued unabated, and she coldly retorted, "I am not a reincarnated Immortal King. If I were, you would already be dead beneath my sword!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Sha observed his expression and concluded that it did not seem to be false.
Moreover, although her understanding and application of the Great Dao far surpassed those of others in the same realm and were astonishingly profound, she ultimately did not reach the level of Immortal King, or even the level of True Immortal.
He immediately realized that the other party was not a reincarnation of a powerful being, but a peerless genius of his time, one in ten thousand!
His eyes suddenly turned even more ruthless, his sword strikes became even more powerful, and he shouted sharply:
"What a peerless genius! It's just a pity that you encountered me when your cultivation was still shallow, so you are destined to have no chance to grow."
Those who know what's good for them will submit to me, and I can transform you into Devil Race, making your talents far surpass those of this weak and untalented Human Race!
"Hmph, laughable!"
Bai Qianqian sneered, her tone full of disdain, "If you were truly so powerful, how could you be reduced to a mere remnant soul, forced to rely on Human Race body to survive?"
You'd better just obediently accept your death today!
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly broke through the bottleneck under Luo Sha's pressure, her aura surging dramatically.
A massive amount of True Power surged out from the system's Cloud Storage, and in the blink of an eye, he had already broken through to the Late Dao Soul Realm.
Taking advantage of the situation, he raised his hand and unleashed a killing sword light that could cleave heaven and earth and shatter the universe, directly blasting Luo Sha away with a single blow.
Luo Sha steadied himself from being thrown backward. Seeing that she had actually broken through her barrier through combat, his eyes were filled with shock and anger, his killing intent burning fiercely. He laughed in extreme rage:
"Excellent! As expected of a peerless genius, you actually dare to use me to train yourself and break through in battle!"
But even if you break through, so what?
He will still meet his end today.
Because I have completely possessed him!
As he spoke, his aura suddenly erupted, and his overwhelming demonic energy soared into the sky. His cultivation level also surged, reaching the Late Stage of the Void Return Realm in one fell swoop.
