"He probably can't break through the protective divine light of the Fangtian Seal and the demon corpse." Mo Nian gritted his teeth and said.
In fact, on the entire battlefield, only those like Xing Wujiang and the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, who took that step and touched that barrier, could destroy the protective divine light of the Fangtian Seal and the demonic corpse.
As for the other Heavenly Saint experts, they simply couldn't get close to them. That's why Jiang Yizhou and the others didn't attack Xing Wujiang.
But the appearance of the masked man made Long Chen extremely uneasy. This guy was not only powerful but also extremely cunning, skilled in calculation. He was a very troublesome person.
Long Chen didn't believe he dared to challenge the demon corpse's protective divine light head-on, which would be suicide. But he was afraid he might use some special means to interfere with Xing Wujiang.
But Long Chen and Mo Nian both used all their strength to restrain the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, not daring to relax for a moment. They could only watch helplessly as the masked man charged toward the barrier, powerless to stop him.
When Long Chen saw clearly what the masked man was holding, his pupils contracted sharply—it was an arm, bloodied and soaked.
"Oh no."
When Long Chen saw that arm, his scalp tingled. As the masked man approached the demon corpse, still hundreds of miles away from its protective divine light, he suddenly swung his arm at it.
"That's ..."
At this moment, Mo Nian could clearly see the arm. Demonic energy was swirling around it, and his nails were like blades. He recognized it as the arm of the demon clan powerhouse who had been fighting for demon corpses together inside Tianmu Mountain.
After Long Chen and Mo Nian left, they vaguely saw the masked man fighting a demon clan expert, but unexpectedly, the demon clan expert had lost an arm to the masked man.
"Boom!"
The arm crashed into the demon corpse's protective divine light, shattering with a roar. Endless blood mist burst forth, and through the protective divine light, it directly entered the demon corpse's body.
"Buzz"
absorbed the blood mist, and the demon corpse trembled violently. Then its head began to shake, and violent demonic energy surged like a tide through heaven and earth.
"Rumble... The
demon corpse's body trembled uncontrollably, runes lighting up one after another. Xing Wujiang roared, flames rising around him as he began burning his own essence blood, intending to continue burning the ancestral rune with it.
However, the demon corpse was nourished by that essence blood, seemingly awakening from its slumber. No matter how hard Xing Wujiang tried, he could not stop the corpse's revival.
"It's over."
Long Chen and Mo Nian saw this scene and were utterly devastated. The demon corpse had been dead for many years, and with Fangtian Seal controlling the Demon Lord, even if they fused, it would still be controlled by Fangtian Seal. In other words, Fangtian Seal was the main force.
But now, Xing Wujiang had burned the ancestral rune and locked onto the Fangtian Seal, which greatly reduced its control over the corpse.
The demon corpse obtained the essence blood of its descendants, and at this most critical moment, its instincts were awakened in an instant. In this case, all their previous efforts were rendered in vain.
Now, Xing Wujiang has only two paths: first, release the Ancestral Mark Lock and let the Fangtian Seal and the demon corpse compete; second, continue to lock the Fangtian Seal and let the demon corpse awaken.
But no matter what choice he made, the result was the same. Now, the Fangtian Seal and the Demon Lord had merged into one, inseparable. Whether Fangtian Seal controlled the demon corpse or the demon corpse controlled the Fangtian Seal, it would trigger boundless catastrophe.
At that moment, even though Xing Wujiang had endured countless dangers and weathered countless storms, his mind was still blank. In the end, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face as he sighed:
"I know this is fate, but I just don't want to admit defeat. Yet, under fate, even if I don't admit defeat, I have to admit defeat."
"Boom!"
The demonic corpse trembled violently, and Xing Wujiang could no longer control the Fangtian Seal. He was sent flying by a terrifying ripple.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Long Chen and Mo Nian also collapsed. Their prison was shattered, and the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Palace stood in midair, his face ashen, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
However, he did not immediately attack Long Chen and Mo Nian, nor did he scold Jiang Yizhou, nor did he even glance at anyone else. His eyes turned toward the demon corpse in the distance.
At this moment, countless runes appeared on the body of the demon corpse in the distance, half of which were slowly lighting up. Clearly, these runes were slowly awakening.
Above its head, a massive vortex swelled. Its body was frantically devouring the energy of heaven and earth, as if it were about to drain the entire world dry. Because of its existence, the world was filled with demonic energy, like a demonic realm.
At that moment, everyone on and off the battlefield, friend and foe, was stunned. They had never seen such a terrifying sight, as if the apocalypse was about to descend.
Long Chen and Mo Nian's faces turned extremely grim, while the masked man above the sky let out a contemptuous, cold laugh:
"If you dare ruin my plans, you won't succeed either. Heh heh, the demon corpse is currently extracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When its demon soul awakens, it will slaughter to its heart's content. This is the result of you two fools provoking me, hahaha!"
As he spoke, the masked man burst out laughing, his laughter filled with the pleasure of revenge. Clearly, Mo Nian and Long Chen were very satisfied with their expressions.
"You idiot, do you even know what you've done?" Mo Nian roared in anger.
"Hehe, of course I know, and I also know that there are three ancient cities and over seven hundred small towns nearby, including Demon-Subduing City.
There were countless humans here, making it perfect for this demon corpse to harvest its soul, hoping it would awaken to intelligence and kill more humans soon. The masked man chuckled.
"You're human too, yet you want to use it to kill your own kind. Are you a beast?" Mo Nian was grinding his teeth to pieces, his voice spilling out through clenched teeth.
"I'm willing. What can you do to me?"
The masked man sneered, as if he was deliberately provoking Long Chen and Mo Nian, and as if watching more people die would excite him immensely.
"I can tear you to pieces, crush your bones to dust." Long Chen clenched his fists in anger. He had forgotten how many years had passed since he hated anyone so deeply.
"Brother."
At that moment, Xing Wujiang spoke from afar. Long Chen turned to look at Xing Wujiang, who looked at them with a warm smile on his face:
"I, Xing Wujiang, am honored to have met two brothers in my life. How regrettable, we met too late, Unfortunately, as your older brother, I can only accompany you here here. Take care! "
Brother Wujiang... Long
Chen and Mo Nian were shocked. Xing Wujiang slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the heavenly veins on his body vanished, and he instantly passed through the demonic corpse's protective divine light and appeared on the Fangtian Seal.
