Chapter 542 - 541: Terrifying Demonic Power
Ming Chen threw Ba Long forward, but Ba Long didn’t give up. Instead, he unleashed his strongest attack to block Yi Tianyun’s assault.
BOOM!
A violent explosion erupted. Ba Long was brutally blown away, tumbling dozens of times before he barely managed to stop. His body was already charred black, a ghastly sight to behold.
However, it looked like he was still breathing. To have survived such a powerful attack was proof of his incredibly thick hide.
"Lord Ba Long!"
Their hearts sank to rock bottom, but more than despair, they were furious at what Ming Chen had done. Most of them were Ba Long’s subordinates. Now that Ming Chen had just thrown Ba Long out to die, they were enraged.
"To think that at the last moment, you would throw out one of your own. You’re truly heartless." Yi Tianyun shook his head, shouldering his great axe and slowly walking over, his eyes filled with coldness.
"He was fulfilling his final duty!" Ming Chen retorted sharply. "If you hadn’t invaded our Celestial Nether Altar, do you think we would be in this situation!?"
For Ming Chen to speak of betraying a comrade with such self-righteousness made him a real piece of work.
"Is that so? Then you can go down and join him!" Yi Tianyun had the utmost contempt for such people, who were clearly in the wrong yet still spouted utter nonsense.
He immediately swung his axe again. He couldn’t use any skills, but his power was still astonishing, instantly soaring to 900 million Combat Power!
Countless bolts of Celestial Thunder gathered and formed a massive Thunder Dragon, which roared and shot toward Ming Chen.
At this moment, Ming Chen’s eyes flashed. He didn’t immediately dodge or counter-attack. Instead, he rushed in front of the dying Ba Long. Everyone thought Ming Chen had a change of heart and wanted to save him.
Then, Ming Chen raised the Celestial Nether Divine Sword in his hand and ruthlessly thrust it down, saying coldly, "Lend me your last bit of strength!"
After the thrust, a giant demonic phantom reappeared. It reached its massive hand into Ba Long’s body, grabbed his soul, and forcibly ripped it out.
As Ba Long’s soul was being dragged out, he let out a series of miserable screams. The injuries to his body had already numbed him, but having his soul torn out forced him to endure the agony of his spirit being ripped apart just before death.
After the demon viciously pulled out the soul, its large hand chopped it in two and then swallowed it. The moment it was swallowed, its power soared dramatically. It even gained a portion of the Dragon Race’s power, and its appearance became somewhat similar to Ba Long’s.
In that instant, its Combat Power skyrocketed!
million Combat Power!
million Combat Power!
million Combat Power!
In a flash, its Combat Power had actually matched Yi Tianyun’s, but that wasn’t the end. The demonic phantom also dragged out a small piece of Ming Chen’s soul, cut it off, and swallowed it. Its power once again increased significantly!
One billion Combat Power!
One billion, thirty million Combat Power!
This was clearly a sacrifice of souls. After the demon devoured them, its power would be greatly enhanced, and its Physique instantly doubled in size. This was definitely not its limit. As long as more souls were sacrificed, or if the user was stronger, it could surely unleash even more terrifying power.
Everyone had thought Ming Chen was going to save Ba Long. Who would have known he was there to take Ba Long’s soul for a sacrifice?
"Go to hell!"
Ming Chen roared. The demonic phantom opened its massive hand, caught the Thunder Light that Yi Tianyun had unleashed, and then squeezed hard.
BOOM!
The terrifying Thunder Light was forcefully crushed, turning into countless specks of starlight that drifted down, seemingly without any effort at all. Immediately after, it stretched out its massive hand and swatted at Yi Tianyun again.
"Let’s see if you die this time!" Ming Chen’s face was pale. A small part of his own soul had been sacrificed, so his own condition wasn’t very good.
’The surge in Combat Power is indeed astonishing. It’s a good thing this wasn’t cast by a stronger Spirit King Stage expert, or it would have been really difficult to deal with.’
"You..."
At that moment, Ba Long stared wide-eyed at him, feeling that Ming Chen’s actions were an even greater humiliation. He never expected that the one to stab him in the back in the end would be Ming Chen.
"Ding! Successfully killed Ba Long. Obtained 160,000,000 experience, 10,000 Madness Value, and 2,000 Sin Value. Obtained items: Dragon-Devouring Spear (High-Grade Sacred Artifact), Ba Long’s Armor (High-Grade Sacred Artifact), Ba Long’s Boots (High-Grade Sacred Artifact), Dragon God Bloodline (Fourth Grade, Rare)."
’Killed by your own companion. How pathetic. I’ll borrow your power to take him down!’ Yi Tianyun’s eyes flashed. The power in his body surged, and the phantom behind him launched another attack, preparing to counter the pouncing demon.
’Ba Long didn’t have the Dragon God Bloodline, but it dropped anyway. The items that drop don’t necessarily have to be something the enemy possessed.’
’Fuse the Dragon God Bloodline!’
"Ding! Successfully upgraded Dragon God Bloodline to the Sixth Grade! Next level requires 50,000,000 Madness Value."
BOOM!
After the fusion, his Combat Power skyrocketed.
million Combat Power!
One billion Combat Power!
One billion, fifty million Combat Power!
A sudden surge of 150 million in Combat Power. A Sixth Grade Bloodline Power was just that domineering; its might was astonishing. Under these circumstances, he instantly surpassed the demon’s power.
"This is the power your companion gave me. Now, take it!"
Yi Tianyun swung his axe fiercely. The phantom behind him did the same, brandishing its great axe as Thunder Light instantly gathered on the blade, shimmering with astonishing energy.
SLASH!
The demon’s outstretched palm was instantly cleaved in two. The massive demon itself was also sliced in half, and the remaining Thunder Light pierced through its body, striking fiercely toward Ming Chen.
Ming Chen’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected that after he’d gone all out, his opponent’s power would still be so heaven-defying! It had forcefully shattered the demon’s power. Even with the strength of the Divine Artifact, he was still completely overpowered.
’With the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, I should have been able to fight opponents above my level, even holding my own against a seventh-level Spirit King Stage cultivator. To think that I’m now being suppressed and crushed instead.’
"I want you dead!"
Ming Chen roared and viciously stabbed the Celestial Nether Divine Sword into his own body. It instantly sank into his flesh, and a continuous stream of Essence Blood poured into the sword.
ROAR!
A black hole suddenly appeared in the sky. An even more massive demon tore through the Void of the black hole. Its terrifying eyes glared in this direction, and after taking aim, it slammed its giant palm down.
BANG!
The domineering Thunder Light was forcefully smacked apart. A Combat Power as high as 1.2 billion was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart!
However, Ming Chen paid a huge price for this. He aged a dozen years in an instant. An unknown amount of his Essence Blood and even his soul had been drawn out. This terrifying power could only be obtained by completely sacrificing himself.
