Merging with Demon Spirits

Someone has died!

Who has died?

After the shock comes doubt.

People look up to the sky, their gaze focused on the dense black fog.

In the tense atmosphere, as the thick fog dissipates, a scar-riddled body comes into view — right arm completely vanished, right leg only partially remaining, most of the skin charred black.

At this moment, everyone’s expression freezes.

"It seems to be Lin Feng!"

"It’s Celestial King Hua!"

"Celestial King Hua has won!"

People looked at each other, seeing a trace of shock in each other’s eyes, exclamations rang out one after another.

The outcome was different from what most expected; the survivor was Celestial King Hua, even though he seemed heavily injured.

Currently, Lin Feng has retreated from his giant form, making him look even more pitiful.

Fortunately, those gory wounds are healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The charred skin begins to fall off, revealing a fair color, and the broken arm and leg are rapidly regrowing.

"Brother Feng!"

Hong Yi clenched her hands, exhaled deeply, her tense body finally relaxed, her eyes moist and shimmering with tears.

Tapping her toes on the ground, Hong Yi leapt into the air, yellow Spiritual Power Wings unfolding behind her, rapidly flying toward Lin Feng.

Brother Feng is injured now, she must protect him well.

Just as he protected her before!

"How is it possible!"

Seeing this scene, Beast Celestial King’s previously indifferent face could no longer remain calm, disbelief filled his voice.

His gaze shifted from Lin Feng to the ground, where black bones were scattered.

Why would Baruch be reduced to bones, while Lin Feng can still be alive?

The Martial Emperor is said to possess a semi-undying body, why is his defense inferior to Lin Feng’s?

And Lin Feng hasn’t even used Life Soul Possession.

Life Soul Possession is considered the most powerful defensive means of a Spirit King.

If it was Dragon Fish Life Soul Possession, even if surprised, it wouldn’t make him question life so much.

Unable to explain the various doubts, Beast Celestial King’s face gradually turned gloomy.

Just now, a large number of Bubbles completely surrounded Lin Feng and the others, leaving no gaps.

With their line of sight completely obscured, they couldn’t clearly see what happened.

Obviously, this was deliberately done by Lin Feng, not wanting anyone to know his trump card.

"The flesh was completely devoured, and the bones were black as ink; this clearly isn’t caused by an explosion, even the Soul Artifact has dissolved, indicating full power was used to resist."

The sarcasm in Wind Celestial King’s eyes had long vanished. After being shocked for a good while, he analyzed the bones on the ground.

Normal people’s bones are white, Martial Emperors’ bones, permeated by Qi and Blood, have a red hue.

The pitch-black bones, this is clearly a sign of poisoning.

"Undead?"

He hesitated slightly.

Black as ink bones, this is very similar to the effect of a Soul Skill.

Divine level Soul Skill, Curse Series Soul Skill "Undead".

"Impossible, it should be poisoning. Lin Feng has many Poison Series Soul Skills in his cultivation technique."

Facing Wind Celestial King’s inquisitive gaze, Beast Celestial King directly denied his conjecture.

Lin Feng already has three Divine level Soul Skills: "Illusion", "Stand", "Life Soul Transformation", if "Undead" is added, wouldn’t that be four Divine level Soul Skills?

Four Divine level Soul Skills, what a concept.

Knowing there are only 49 Divine level Soul Skills in total!

With Lin Feng’s strength, even using the Divine level Soul Skill "Undead", it’s unlikely it would make a Martial Emperor powerhouse die so miserably.

"Indeed."

Wind Celestial King nodded slightly.

He couldn’t believe Lin Feng possessed four Divine level Soul Skills either.

Having three is already a miracle.

Looking at Lin Feng’s miserable appearance, Beast Celestial King’s eyes flickered slightly, seemingly hesitating about something.

Lin Feng has already consumed the World Fruit, his injuries will soon heal, but his Soul Power must be mostly depleted, perhaps even exhausted.

Now is the perfect opportunity.

Such an opportunity should not arise again.

As for the opinions of the audience on-site, whether it is taking advantage of someone’s peril or not, and how it affects his reputation, Beast Celestial King doesn’t care.

As long as he can obtain a unique global collectible, he is willing to accept any controversy.

Wind Celestial King glanced at Beast Celestial King, a smile on his lips, already surmising the latter’s plan.

"Truly astonishing, knowing Lin Feng isn’t even an Upper Rank Spirit King."

Wind Celestial King exclaimed.

This seemingly praises Lin Feng’s strength and talent, but actually reminds Beast Celestial King that Lin Feng can slay a Martial Emperor without even being an Upper Rank Spirit King, and once he becomes an Emperor, the Beast Celestial King may not even be a match.

Then there would be even less opportunity to "collect" him.

Beast Celestial King clearly heard the implicit meaning in Wind Celestial King’s words, and the previously hesitant look in his eyes immediately became determined.

Lin Feng is only 23 years old this year.

A 23-year-old Middle Rank Double King, refining two Demon Spirits, possessing three Divine level Soul Skills.

Has achievements of slaying a Martial Emperor powerhouse.

Lin Feng’s talent is overly monstrous.

His growth rate is bizarrely fast, and he will only become faster after becoming one of the Thirteen Celestial Kings.

Under normal circumstances, the difficulty for a King to break through to become an Emperor is immense.

According to probability, only one out of a hundred Kings can become an Emperor.

One in a hundred.

It takes decades or even a century of accumulation to potentially achieve a breakthrough and become an emperor.

Lin Feng cultivates the "Second Incarnation," refining the Demon Spirit in his Pocket World, having already abandoned the path of Martial Emperor; however, he has completed most of the difficult part of the Extraordinary path.

It can be said that Lin Feng’s probability of breaking through to Extraordinary is ten times or even dozens of times higher than other kings.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot give up the opportunity before him.

"Don’t act impulsively."

Just as the Beast Celestial King’s body slightly moved, about to take action, a warning voice sounded from behind.

Sea Celestial King had appeared behind the two of them without anyone knowing.

Simultaneously, Hong Yi fluttered his Spiritual Power Wings and also appeared beside Lin Feng, forcing the Beast Celestial King to abandon his intentions.

"Lin Feng is not your apostle now, and it seems you don’t like him either, so why interfere in the grievances between us?"

The Beast Celestial King didn’t turn around, just asked coldly.

He had some understanding of how Lin Feng became an apostle.

In the eyes of the Beast Celestial King, Lin Feng was not liked by the Sea Celestial King; otherwise, he wouldn’t have set such a trial question.

"Haha."

The Sea Celestial King chuckled lightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He indeed had no particular feelings for Lin Feng, but neither did he harbor any malice.

Even though Lin Feng had great fame and brilliant combat achievements, to the Sea Celestial King at the time, he was merely a yet-unripe peerless genius.

Just an ordinary apostle candidate.

The trial question he set had no special purpose nor was it aimed at Lin Feng; he just thought it was interesting and amusing.

As for Lin Feng’s life or death, he didn’t care either.

"But he is from Hua Country."

After a few seconds pause, the Sea Celestial King said with a smile.

Even though Lin Feng wasn’t his apostle anymore, they were fellow people of Hua Country, which naturally brings them closer.

Not to mention, his relationship with the Beast Celestial King was inherently bad.

He’s happy to add to the other’s troubles if it means complicating matters.

In Pure Land, although there were no obvious factions among Celestial Kings, relationships varied from close to distant.

He had a bad relationship with the Beast Celestial King and had conflicts in the past.

Recently, the Beast Celestial King got closer to the Wind Celestial King, so he must be cautious; this is one of the reasons he helps Lin Feng.

The Beast Celestial King did not respond, but his face grew colder.

In midair.

Faced with the shock and fear from beneath, Lin Feng’s expression remained calm.

He glanced down at the black bones scattered on the ground, thinking to himself, "A Martial Emperor powerhouse is truly hard to kill."

Just now, under Bubble’s coverage, unseen by anyone, he displayed his strongest state.

The simultaneous operation of two cultivation techniques, [Fish Dragon Transformation] and [Blood Cry], the release of two soul skills, [Demon Transformation] and [Six Arms], combined with Nightmare Possession.

The combination of five top-level states granted him unprecedented power and defense, but it also made his body difficult to bear.

Fortunately, he only needed to endure the brief explosion.

Meanwhile, Baruch as the opponent faced not only the suicide explosion attack.

In the explosion, amidst paralysis brought by thunder, burning, and dizzying shock, there were also attacks from seven soul skills: [Demon Flame], [Resentful Spirit], [Rainbow Poison], [Fat Hedgehog], [Blood-sucking Mushroom], [Aging], and [Undead].

These seven soul skills are extremely insidious, each more sinister than the last.

[Demon Flame] burns souls, bringing unimaginable pain, [Resentful Spirit] weakens all enemy states, [Rainbow Poison] is a poison series soul skill, [Fat Hedgehog] and [Blood-sucking Mushroom] are parasite soul skills, among them [Aging] and [Undead] are curse type divine level soul skills.

At such close range, with such a large explosion, under the combination attack of so many insidious poison and curse series soul skills, even though the Martial Emperor claims to possess nearly an undying body, they cannot withstand it.

The Martial Emperor’s elementalization can immunize physical attacks and most attribute attacks, but cannot immunize poison and curse type soul skills.

Even so, Lin Feng narrowly won.

Suicide explosion harms the enemy eight hundred, injures oneself a thousand.

Before his combat system matured, Lin Feng often used this method of suicide attacks not because he had a tendency for self-harm, but because Bubble moved too slowly, too fragile, and his attack methods were too simple, only allowing for such.

While injuring the enemy, Lin Feng also suffered damage himself.

But as the possessed soul skill owner, he has some resistance, letting him survive, although he wasted a world fruit of enormous value.

In Pure Land, a perilous environment, Lin Feng must maintain his best state, not easily exposing even a trace of weakness.

"Brother Feng, are you alright?"

Beside him, Hong Yi vibrated his wings, expressing some concern.

"I’m fine."

Lin Feng slightly shook his head, holding two crystal bottles in his left hand, pouring directly into his mouth, swallowing more than ten Soul Nourishing Pills and Qi and Blood Pills consecutively.

Feeling the rapid recovery of soul power and qi and blood, he swung his right arm; the previously severed arm had now grown to the hand, while the right leg had grown to the ankle soon to fully recover.

No wonder it’s a world fruit.

Lin Feng sighed in amazement, followed by regret.

Damn Baruch for wasting such a precious world fruit.

The estimated value of this world fruit conservatively is fifty billion.

And it’s not something money could buy.

"Let’s go."

Under the gaze of all, Lin Feng, with Hong Yi, flew towards "Hua’s Hall."

Seeing this, no one dared to obstruct them.

Lin Feng’s first challenge after becoming one of the Thirteen Celestial Kings ended with the tragic death of Martial Emperor Baruch.

The battle was over, yet the crowd remained hesitant to disperse.

Looking at the scattered black bones, apostles who had ambitions for the title of Thirteen Celestial Kings cooled down completely.

Though Lin Feng’s power might be inferior to other Celestial Kings, he was certainly not someone they could afford to provoke.

"It’s better to keep a low profile."

In the crowd, a tall and thin young man muttered as he watched Lin Feng’s disappearing figure.

His appearance was very ordinary, only his eyes appeared unusual, one was black, the other purple.
