Chapter 1175: Borrowing His Body to Slay Devils (1/2)
“Whether you can survive or not, that is something that I know better than you.” The Devouring Master smiled faintly and said, “Unless there is a more than fifty percent chance of success, I do not want to put my succession at risk.”
“With someone protecting me, there is only a fifty percent chance of success?” Lin Dong felt some cold sweat appearing on his forehead. Wasn’t the chance of success a little too low?
“Do you think that my inheritance will be the run-of-the-mill variety?” The Devouring Master lifted his brows while disapproval seeped out from him. Even in the ancient times, he was only weaker than the Symbol Ancestor and the Ice Master. Moreover, it was nigh impossible to count the number of Yimo that perished in his hands. Therefore, his accomplishments were nearly peerless.
Lin Dong laughed bitterly and became quiet. Although he really wanted to obtain the Devouring Master’s inheritance, he refused to beg Kun Ling to protect him. After all, he knew that he had done everything that he ought to do for her. If the latter was still unwilling to help him, he would not resort to begging her.
Beside him, when Kun Ling saw that Lin Dong had descended into silence, as well as the stubborn look on his face, she suddenly recalled the warm hand that extended from within the darkness previously, as well as the human flesh cushioning her body when she fell on the ground. Subsequently, the anger on her face slowly disappeared. Soon after, her lips moved before a faint voice was emitted, “Ancestor, I am willing… to protect him just this once.”
“Oh? You are willing to?”
The Devouring Master looked at Kun Ling with some interest and smilingly said.
“Although he is somewhat repulsive, Kun Ling clearly distinguishes between friend and foe. He has helped me previously and I shall return the favour.” Kun Ling’s pretty face reddened as she nodded and said.
Lin Dong was a little surprised. He lifted his head to glance at Kun Ling. After which, he cupped his hands together and said, “I will definitely remember Miss Kun Ling’s favour. If you require my assistance in the future, I will definitely do my best to assist you.”
“I’ll be fine as long as you don’t use the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to bully me.” Kun Ling turned her head away and said.
Lin Dong nodded. Then, he solemnly said, “Miss Ling’er, you can be rest assured that I will stay away from you in the future. Hence, this will prevent me from negatively affecting you.”
Lin Dong had just finished speaking when he suddenly saw Kun Ling frowning and turning her head. Clenching her hands, she proceeded to glare at him. Her faint anger caused Lin Dong to be at a loss.
“Thank you elder.” Lin Dong rejoiced. He cupped his hands together and said.
The Devouring Master shook his head and said in a faint voice. “However, before handing over my inheritance, I would like to borrow your body for awhile.”
“Borrow my body?” Lin Dong was stunned. He did not understand what the Devouring Master was implying.
“Some insolent creatures have entered this realm. I will have to go and do some cleaning up. However, I will need to borrow your body in order to unleash my powers.” The Devouring Master said.
“Insolent creatures?” A glint flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes before he exclaimed, “Yimo?”
“Haha, four Yimo kings and someone that I defeated before.” The Devouring Master laughed. His tone was calm and it looked as though he was talking about a couple of insignificant ants.
“Four Yimo kings?!”
Though the Devouring Master could remain calm, Lin Dong’s expression underwent a sudden and drastic change. A Yimo king was equivalent to a top-tier Reincarnation stage expert. Moreover, four of them were actually dispatched this time around. Hence, this lineup was worthy of the word, terrifying. After all, only one Yimo king appeared back at the Flame Divine Hall.
“I thought that a Reincarnation stage expert cannot enter this shattered space?” Beside him, Kun Ling voiced her doubts.
“That is generally the case. However, there are always loopholes. Since Jiu Feng is able to suppress his strength and enter this space, even less need to be said for those mysterious Yimo.” The Devouring Master said.
“Oh no, Little Marten and the rest are still outside!” Lin Dong had an anxious expression. He was worried about what would happen to Little Marten and the rest, after the Yimo invaded this realm.
“Relax. With me around, the Yimo won’t be able to act as they please. This is true even though I am already dead!” The Devouring Master said faintly. However, his voice contained the pride and overbearing aura that belonged to an expert, who once towered over the world.
“In that case, please help us elder!” Lin Dong said in a deep voice.
The Devouring Master nodded gently. His body subsequently transformed into a black ray of light before it shot towards Lin Dong’s chest. Immediately, the latter’s body stiffened before an indescribable monstrous aura, that once belonged to an overlord of the world, slowly awakened.
The aura swept across the sky before the Devouring Master’s low and deep voice was emitted from within Lin Dong’s body.
“Lin Dong. Next, I will allow you to witness the true strength of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Remember to pay attention!”
……
Dense demonic clouds swept over and occupied this entire realm. Only the area within a ten thousand feet radius of the lone mountain peak, had yet to be invaded by this sea of demonic aura.
First elder Zhu Li, Liu Qing, Little Marten and many powerful individuals currently had gloomy expressions as they stared at the scene in front of them. Meanwhile, their bodies continuously retreated. In fact, even the Yuan Power circulation within their bodies had slowed down owing to the pressure from the four terrifying auras up in the demonic clouds.
Four Yimo kings. This was not something that they could deal with.
“Let’s get rid of them first. After that, we will destroy the Devouring Divine Palace.”
In the middle of the demonic clouds, a black figure was seated on a throne made up of black clouds. When he looked down and saw the many powerful individuals below, cold indifference filled his eyes. Subsequently, he waved his hand before his indifferent voice spread.
The four Yimo kings nodded upon hearing this. Without further ado, they flicked one finger each, before four demonic lights directly shot out from their fingertips.
Swoosh!
