Chapter 681: Crushing Four King Halls
Bang, bang, bang!
As the Chaotic Demon Arrow streaked past like a shooting star, deep booms erupted from within the Demon Emperor's projection.
Moments later, that massive body exploded under the horrified gazes of countless Yimo.
The Sixth and Seventh King Halls stared blankly at the shattering Demon Emperor projection. The skeletal sigil in their hands burst apart, and even the single strand of black hair within it ignited without flame, quietly turning to ash and scattering away.
Pfft.
A mouthful of thick black blood spurted from both their mouths. They watched in disbelief.
The Demon Emperor's projection… had actually been destroyed by Lin Langtian?!
On the island, all the experts were stunned for a heartbeat. Then a deafening cheer erupted like thunder.
Ling Qingzhu let out a soft breath and a faint smile curved her lips.
In the sky, Lin Langtian heard the roar of celebration below as the demon thunder bow in his hand slowly dissipated.
As expected of the power of chaos that even the Yimo Emperor and the Symbol Ancestor coveted. Its strength was truly overwhelming.
"Now, do you still have any tricks left?"
Lin Langtian looked coldly at the Sixth and Seventh King Halls. Their faces were ashen and their demonic qi in chaos, clearly severely wounded.
Seeing his gaze fall on them, their pupils shrank slightly.
They had not expected Lin Langtian to be this difficult to handle.
Boom!
While their expressions darkened, a peal of thunder suddenly exploded. Countless strands of black demon lightning writhed across the sky like enormous serpents.
The next instant, those bolts of demon lightning crashed down like a raging storm, carrying a power that could destroy everything as they slammed onto the Sixth and Seventh King Halls.
Bang, bang, bang!
Heavily injured, the two were unable to stabilize their auras. The defensive barriers hurriedly formed by their demonic qi crumbled instantly under the savage onslaught of the demon lightning.
Seeing this, a cold smile tugged at Lin Langtian's lips. A devouring demon vortex formed on his fist before it shot forth, slamming into the two.
Terrifying power erupted. The Sixth and Seventh King Halls were sent flying backward.
Their bodies were in a pitiful state. Black blood sprayed wildly, and the Demon Emperor Armor upon them had grown dim, two deep fist marks imprinted upon its surface.
At this moment, they seemed to have completely lost their ability to fight back.
They coughed up another mouthful of black blood, their twisted faces fixed on Lin Langtian, eyes filled with hatred intense enough to burn.
"Damn you, you've forced this out of us!"
Watching Lin Langtian display such overwhelming might, their expressions grew even more ferocious. With a harsh shout, their bodies began to distort.
A buzzing, eerie laughter echoed from within them as viscous demonic qi gushed out, finally coalescing into two more demonic silhouettes by their sides under countless shocked stares.
One figure was tall and burly, the other slightly thinner. Both now stared sinisterly at Lin Langtian, eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Eighth King Hall of the Demonic Prison," the tall demonic shadow said with a smile.
"And I am the Tenth King Hall," the other added after giving Lin Langtian a brief glance.
So there were actually two more King Halls hidden within the bodies of the Sixth and Seventh King Halls!
Clearly, this had been a hidden trump card prepared to deal with the Desolate Lord, but Lin Langtian had forced them to use it early.
"Four King Halls… the Demonic Prison has really gone all out. If all of you die here, that Heavenly King Hall will surely be livid." Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly as he glared coldly at the four Yimo King Halls.
Four Yimo kings who had each endured two Reincarnation Tribulations were indeed troublesome. Fortunately, none had reached three.
"Heh, such arrogance," the Sixth King Hall spat. "That move you used earlier is not something you can cast lightly. If we consider that, facing us four, you don't have that much of an advantage."
"You were just as confident a moment ago. And look how that turned out…" Lin Langtian replied disdainfully.
"Hmph, then let's see!"
The four exchanged a look. Ice-cold killing intent flashed in their eyes as they stepped forward in unison. Four terrifying auras surged out from them.
The auras of the Sixth and Seventh King Halls were slightly weaker, clearly because of the injuries Lin Langtian had just inflicted.
Even so, when all four unleashed their full strength, the result was astonishing. Their four pillars of demonic qi rose like columns of black smoke stretching to the heavens, clearly visible from a thousand miles away.
Roar!
A bestial growl erupted from their throats as vicious light flickered in their eyes.
Their hand seals changed, and four streams of demonic qi thousands of meters long howled forth like bolts of black light, streaking toward Lin Langtian.
The demonic streams were thick as water, and an evil aura rolled off them, enough to make one's scalp go numb.
Yet as the four advanced together, Lin Langtian merely lifted his dark eyes. He waited until the demonic torrents were about to strike before lightly stomping his foot.
Boom!
Demon lightning surged wildly, and in an instant it formed an enormous black thunder shield in front of him.
The four demonic torrents slammed into the thunder shield, but before their power could truly explode, that wild, overbearing demon lightning engulfed them.
Crack!
Under the destructive force of the demon lightning, the torrents of demonic qi shattered like fragile ice.
"Damn it!"
Seeing their attacks destroyed so easily, the four King Halls' faces darkened.
Before they could strike again, Lin Langtian clenched his hand. Four bolts of demon lightning shot out like enraged beasts, hurling themselves at the four.
Boom!
The four hastily gathered all their strength to meet the attack, their fists cloaked in a thick layer of demonic qi as they hammered into the demon lightning. The collision shattered the lightning into a hail of sparks.
"Urgh…"
Although the lightning was shattered, the Eighth and Tenth King Halls still let out muffled groans. The heavily wounded Sixth and Seventh King Halls went pale once more, involuntarily vomiting more black blood.
"A-amazing…"
On the island, countless eyes stared in shock at the slender, green-robed figure who was fighting four King Halls at once—and even forcing them back.
Lin Langtian's earlier performance had already stunned them. But now, it was clear his strength was far beyond what they had imagined.
His gaze frosty, Lin Langtian stared at the four and strode toward them, each step accompanied by a storm of demon lightning.
Within that rolling lightning, his killing intent surged boundlessly.
"Together!"
The Sixth King Hall could not help shuddering as he saw Lin Langtian approach step by step.
In the ancient era, they had once battled the Eight Ancient Masters, yet even then they had not been this badly battered. This youth's strength had grown truly terrifying.
The Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth King Halls clenched their teeth and nodded.
Hand seals formed in a flash and the four slammed their palms together. Their bodies writhed grotesquely.
Jagged demonic spikes slowly emerged from their flesh, making them look like fiends that had clawed their way out from the deepest pits of hell.
Splat!
Black blood shot violently from their bodies, the sticky fluid rapidly condensing above their heads into a strange black sigil.
That demonic sigil expanded at an alarming pace. Within just a few breaths, it had become a monstrous figure spanning ten thousand meters.
From all around the sigil, countless demonic arms wriggled into existence. Seen from afar, it resembled some dreadful heavenly devil from beyond the world.
Lin Langtian raised his head, his eyes fixed upon the sigil teeming with demonic arms. The killing intent in his gaze grew even more intense.
"Ten Thousand Demons Converge—Abyssal Demon Seal!" the four King Halls shrieked, their howls echoing through the sky.
Boom!
The colossal, multi-armed demon seal shuddered, then hurtled downward. As its countless arms flailed, it seemed to rip the heavens and earth themselves apart.
The sea below roiled as waves thousands of meters high rose up, and rolling thunder boomed over the water.
Ling Qingzhu's eyes grew solemn with worry. The King Halls of the Demonic Prison were indeed formidable.
This kind of move could probably annihilate any peak expert who had survived two Reincarnation Tribulations.
"I don't know if he can take that."
She stared anxiously at Lin Langtian's slender form, her jade fists clenched tight as unease coiled in her heart.
Lin Langtian lifted his chin slightly, his dark gaze unwavering as the Abyssal Demon Seal howled down upon him.
He stood firm under the terrifying gusts of wind, his green robe snapping in the gale, like a lone man holding his ground before thousands of troops.
The monstrous seal reflected in his eyes, growing rapidly larger. In just a few breaths, its vast shadow had engulfed him under countless horrified stares.
As it fell, Lin Langtian slowly raised his arm, spreading his fingers and lifting his hand to meet the descending demon seal.
"Devouring Demon Abyss!"
His quiet, icy words drifted across the heavens. The terrifying force roaring within the Abyssal Demon Seal suddenly froze.
Boom!
In that instant of stillness, every eye widened as a massive demon abyss, ten thousand meters wide and seemingly capable of swallowing the world, exploded outward from Lin Langtian's palm.
The abyss radiated a terrifying power of devouring as it surged forward, swallowing the entire demon seal at an incredible speed and draining all the demonic qi within it.
Pfft!
The four King Halls could only stare in horror as blood spurted from their mouths. Their bodies trembled and the demonic qi around them withered swiftly, leaving them grievously wounded.
They had never imagined that Lin Langtian could fuse the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and Yimo power so perfectly.
That Devouring Demon Abyss possessed both devouring power and Yimo power. Intertwined yet opposing, it was an absolute bane to their kind.
Lin Langtian looked down at them indifferently. In a flash, he appeared right before them, his hand shrouded in surging demon lightning.
Seeing that he refused to give them even a moment's respite, their expressions changed drastically. All four split up and retreated in different directions.
Slash!
Murderous intent gleamed in Lin Langtian's dark eyes. His hand clenched, and a long demon lightning spear extended from his grip. His form shuddered and split into four.
Four shadowy figures wreathed in lightning flickered with silver light before vanishing into space itself.
When the four demon lightning spears reappeared, they were already overhead, stabbing down mercilessly.
Boom!
Startled, the King Halls roared as torrents of demonic qi flooded forth, forming massive shields before them in a desperate attempt to fend off Lin Langtian's onslaught.
Crack!
The viscous demonic barriers crumbled in mere moments, and the spears drove straight through, finally ramming into their bodies.
Sizzle.
Even the incredibly tough Demon Emperor Armor twisted under the force of the spears and was eventually pierced. The frenzied demon lightning pierced straight through their bodies.
Pfft!
The four of them were flung backward, black blood gushing out in torrents—a gruesome sight.
They were soon forced back together once more, demonic qi frantically surging from within their bodies to resist the invading demon lightning.
When they looked at Lin Langtian again, naked fear finally surfaced in their eyes.
He not only wielded three Ancestral Symbols and Yimo power, he had even managed to fuse both forces.
This new, fused power combined the strengths of both, and the might it unleashed was unimaginably terrible.
"You four can die now."
Lin Langtian watched them, a cruel light flashing at the corner of his mouth. His cold voice echoed like a death sentence across heaven and earth.
He moved, instantly appearing above them as a dragon-kun phantom emerged under his grasp, solidifying into a terrifying, nearly corporeal dragon-kun that charged toward the King Halls.
Slash!
The enormous dragon-kun tore the sky apart, as if splitting heaven and earth themselves. The four King Halls suddenly realized that the space around them had solidified.
They could not move at all. All they could do was watch in horror as the destructive beam of frigid light crashed down upon them.
Extreme terror flooded their eyes.
But just as the freezing beam was about to engulf them, the space in front of the four suddenly twisted, and a dark figure stepped out of the void.
"Heh, to think the Tianxuan Continent would produce someone who can wield both demonic qi and Ancestral Symbols at the same time."
