Merging with Demon Spirits

Facing the barrage of dense attacks, any dodging was meaningless, even the Divine Level Soul Skill [Stand] was of no use.

Furthermore, there was an archer secretly watching in the shadows behind these attacks.

Lin Feng’s every move was completely locked down.

Amidst the dense net formed by the Wind Blades and Fireballs, Lin Feng floated in mid-air, with strands of multicolored mist emerging from the surface of his skin. As the air distorted and vibrated, it quickly condensed into an elegant silver-white Dragon Fish over ten meters long.

The Dragon Fish had two horns on its massive fish head, its pectoral fins resembled dragon claws, and at the corners of its fish mouth were ten long and thick multicolored tendrils. Its entire body was covered in scales that shimmered like lens, and it possessed slightly short paired wings, with the most distinctive feature being its flowing and gorgeous ten-colored phoenix tail.

At this moment, Lin Feng was located within the massive fish head.

"Do you think the Dragon Fish has gotten bigger?"

"It has indeed gotten bigger."

"Look closely at the phoenix tail, the ten-colored phoenix tail!"

Many in the audience gasped in amazement, sharply noticing the change in the Dragon Fish.

Previously, the phoenix tail of the Dragon Fish had nine branches, but now an additional black branch had appeared, making it a ten-colored phoenix tail.

This also meant that the Dragon Fish had successfully devoured the Abyssal Evil Ghost and now possessed ten Soul Skills.

Ten Soul Skills are the limit that a Demon Spirit can absorb. After this, the Demon Spirit can still continue to grow, possibly even developing spirituality and wisdom, leaving the body of the Demon Spirit Master to become an External Incarnation, but it cannot continue to absorb more Soul Skills.

Lin Feng summoned the Dragon Fish Life Soul, and the Wind Blades and Fireballs fell like raindrops on the Dragon Fish, causing ripples to spread.

While enduring the attacks, the Dragon Fish did not remain passive. It flicked its flowing phoenix tail, dispersing the incoming fiery storm. Under Lin Feng’s control, the Dragon Fish Life Soul flapped its Dragon Wings and flew toward Sugita Onijiro.

"Each branch of the Dragon Fish’s tail represents a Soul Skill; what luck," the Celestial King Hai said with a hint of surprise.

There is a certain failure rate in absorbing Soul Skills. The higher the skill level, the greater the chance of failure.

The Abyssal Evil Ghost is ranked 63rd on the Earth Chart, with a Talent Soul Skill [Binding Spirit], at Diamond Level, a Spirit Series Soul Skill, its effect directly acts on the opponent’s Demon Spirit.

It can bind the opponent’s Demon Spirit, preventing it from using Soul Skills and Life Soul Possession, or weakening the power of its Soul Skills, with a small chance of harming the Demon Spirit itself.

The success rate of absorbing this Soul Skill is very low.

Even if one’s strength reaches Upper Rank Spirit King, refining an Earth Chart Demon Spirit with matching attributes, the success rate of absorbing this Soul Skill would not exceed thirty percent.

Yet, in the previous situation, Lin Feng still succeeded in absorbing the Soul Skill. His luck is indeed impressive.

"Calling it luck is an understatement; it’s talent," the Shadow Celestial King shook his head, not believing it was simply luck.

No one would rashly devour a rare Earth Chart Demon Spirit like the Abyssal Evil Ghost without absolute confidence.

That’s an Earth Chart Demon Spirit, not an ordinary Advanced Demon Spirit. If failed, it would be nearly impossible to find another.

More so since this Demon Spirit suits Lin Feng very well.

Even if Lin Feng gets furious, he wouldn’t be so reckless.

He must have had great confidence, at least over eighty percent sure, to take this risk.

"This is just the Dragon Fish, Lin Feng’s other Demon Spirit is more unique," the Fate Celestial King said.

He was actually very curious about what Lin Feng’s second Demon Spirit could be.

It’s known that this Demon Spirit absorbed nothing but Diamond Soul Skills, including a Divine Level Soul Skill.

The combination level of the Dragon Fish’s Soul Skills is high, but compared to that Demon Spirit, it pales in comparison.

Not at all on the same level.

"Even though the Soul Skill absorption was successful, Lin Feng doesn’t seem to have broken through to Upper Rank Spirit King," the Shadow Celestial King remarked with some surprise.

The strength of a Martial Artist is hard to gauge, but for a Demon Spirit Master, it’s relatively obvious.

Initially, it’s judged by the number of Soul Skills.

Once the Life Soul is condensed, it’s judged by the degree of its condensation.

At Lower Rank Spirit King, the Life Soul is very vague, and for those who have just broken through, or lack foundation, it can even be incomplete.

At Middle Rank Spirit King, the Life Soul is complete and clear.

At Upper Rank Spirit King, the Life Soul is lifelike.

The strength of a Spirit King is easily assessed, practically at a glance, though Lin Feng might be hiding his strength, but there’s no need for that.

In a one-on-one confrontation against a stronger opponent, hiding one’s strength holds little significance.

Logically speaking, after consuming such a rare and precious resource, Lin Feng should have no difficulty breaking through to Upper Rank Spirit King.

The Dragon Fish Life Soul appears clear yet hasn’t reached the lifelike stage, clearly, it hasn’t broken through successfully.

"So what if it’s a talented Demon Fiend? More than half of the potion’s effects were wasted; if absorbed slowly, it would have been enough to break through to Upper Rank Spirit King," the Beast Celestial King mocked, his gaze fixed on the Dragon Fish Life Soul, with increasing desire in his eyes.

Although the Dragon Fish didn’t evolve, it has clearly grown significantly. The Ten-tailed Dragon Fish looks even more splendid and enchanting now.

This unparalleled collectible item must not be missed.

Thinking of this, the Beast Celestial King silently chanted in his heart, while Sugita Onijiro, who was drawing his bow and shooting arrows, instinctively nodded.

"Want to come over?"

Seeing the Dragon Fish flying toward him while enduring the attacks, a cold smile appeared at Sugita Onijiro’s mouth.

This time, including the vanished Secret Chameleon, Heaven-Roaring Lion, and Black Cloud Demon Flood Dragon, five King Level Demon Beasts launched their attacks simultaneously. Moreover, there were countless Golden Arrows filling the sky.

The storm-like attacks caused the Dragon Fish to stall in place, unable to control its retreat, as attacks enveloped its entire body. In just over ten seconds, the Dragon Fish became visibly blurred.

At this moment, the Dragon Fish, overwhelmed by the downpour of artillery fire, had no power to resist, ultimately engulfed entirely by the onslaught.

"What a pity!"

"Completely crushed!"

"Lin Feng has no power to resist!"

"The disparity in strength is too great; Sugita Onijiro’s combat power is comparable to that of an Emperor."

"Bullying the weak is meaningless, Beast Celestial King is a bit unscrupulous!"

In everyone’s eyes, this battle was already over.

Such a dense attack, not to mention Lin Feng, even an Emperor would find it hard to escape in a short time.

So it seems, Sugita Onijiro’s achievement of slaying the Martial Emperor is not just a rumor.

"I didn’t lie to you, did I?" Qi Jin turned his head slightly, speaking to Hong Yi beside him, his tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

Hong Yi ignored him, only a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

Because Sugita Onijiro showed no sign of stopping his attack; the firepower was even more intense.

"That’s enough!"

As the light of the Dragon Fish Life Soul dimmed further, Celestial King Hai frowned and reminded.

Beast Celestial King acted as if he hadn’t heard.

"You can stop now!"

Celestial King Hai repeated, with increased emphasis. This time Beast Celestial King finally reacted, speaking indifferently, "Although the soul power of the Dragon Fish is nearly exhausted, that mysterious demon spirit hasn’t appeared yet. How do you know Lin Feng is completely out of fighting strength? If he gives up, he should do so himself."

"I think you have other intentions," Immortal Celestial King mocked.

"You’re all here, even if I had intentions, I can’t make a move!"

Beast Celestial King did not deny his interest in Lin Feng.

Just when everyone thought Lin Feng had no chance of turning the tables, and this match was over, no one noticed a thumbnail-sized bubble silently attaching itself to the scales of the Black Cloud Poison Flood Dragon.

Even if someone noticed, they likely wouldn’t care.

What can a bubble do?

Moreover, Lin Feng was still within his Life Soul.

The Life Soul is the Spirit King’s most powerful defense and attack method, but being possessed by the Life Soul is actually a kind of restraint. Sometimes, when under wide-range attack, it’s even harder to break free.

Just like Lin Feng now, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

In less than two minutes, the Dragon Fish Life Soul became dim and dark, so illusory it seemed like it would dissipate in the next second. Just as Sugita Onijiro sped up his attack rhythm, thinking victory was assured, the bubble on the Black Cloud Poison Flood Dragon’s scales vanished instantly, and at the same time, Lin Feng’s figure appeared.

"Ah!"

"How is Lin Feng there?"

Before the exclamations erupted, Lin Feng had already appeared at Sugita Onijiro’s side. Outside the two, the Black Cloud Poison Flood Dragon continued to move stupidly, unaware of the uninvited guest’s presence.

"You..."

Sugita Onijiro immediately noticed Lin Feng’s presence. Originally full of confidence, his eyes showed panic for the first time.

Aside from panic, there was more confusion.

At this moment, even though the Dragon Fish Life Soul was under attack—its light dim but not dispersed—why could Lin Feng break free from the Life Soul and appear by his side?

This defies logic!

Lin Feng at this time was also shocking to him, with dark red long hair flowing and a pair of ghastly white fangs protruding from his mouth. Standing three meters tall like a giant, his entire body was covered with pentagonal cyan dragon scales, whose center was overlaid with a black keratin layer, providing stronger defense. On this keratin layer were mysterious blood-red patterns spread all over his body.

Dragons horns grew on both sides of his forehead, curving backward and spiraling like demon horns. His back’s dragon wings were similarly covered in a black membrane, and his dark gray pupils coldly stared at him.

This Lin Feng exuded a terrifying aura.

Confronted with such a monstrous figure up close, Sugita Onijiro’s confusion quickly turned to fear.

As a Summoner and archer, close quarters combat wasn’t his forte.

At such a close distance, Sugita Onijiro couldn’t dodge or hastily deploy a Defense Soul Skill. Holding the War Bow with his left hand, he barely raised his right hand to block, but was directly overwhelmed by a tremendous force—"crack" went his arm, limply hanging, already broken, with three bone-deep wounds scored into it.

In a single strike, Sugita Onijiro’s right hand was nearly torn apart.

"What terrifying power, completely unstoppable, is this Lin Feng’s second demon spirit?"

A thought flashed through his mind, sharp dragon claws appeared before him, Sugita Onijiro’s previously panicked expression had instead turned calm.

He released the War Bow with his left hand, quickly performed a sealing with one hand.

With a burst of crimson light, a searing power engulfed the realm. Just as Lin Feng moved to close in, he was flung back a hundred meters by the force.

"How does he still have a Summoned Beast?!"

Lin Feng flapped his dragon wings repeatedly, stabilizing in mid-air, ignoring the burn sensation spreading across his body. His gaze focused on Sugita Onijiro’s direction.

Amidst the swirling smoke, an over twenty-meter-high behemoth emerged into view.

This monster possessed limbs and a head, bereft of hair. Its skin was overlaid with deep gray rocks, from whose crevices molten lava flowed, resembling red veins tracing its entirety.

"Earth Chart’s Magma Giant, an Emperor Level Demon Beast!"

Lin Feng quickly realized, looking towards where the Celestial Kings were situated, he paused his gaze on Beast Celestial King, a sneer curled at his lips.

Even with great talent, Sugita Onijiro was not an Emperor; he couldn’t contract an Emperor Level Demon Beast.

Furthermore, among Emperor Level Demon Beasts, the Magma Giant was a particularly powerful existence.

If he truly had such a powerful Summoned Beast, he’d have summoned it at the start, and I’d have conceded, sparing any fight at all.

This Magma Giant was obviously Beast Celestial King’s Contract Beast, utilizing special means to let Sugita Onijiro summon it.

Beast Celestial King prepared everything before the debut began.

The moment the Magma Giant manifested, Sugita Onijiro’s five summoned beasts vanished one by one.

Clearly, summoning the Magma Giant with his soul power drained him, leaving him unable to summon other demon beasts.

"How damn disgusting!"

Lin Feng stared at Beast Celestial King, enunciating clearly, his words rife with sarcasm echoing throughout the debut venue.
