Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter 56 Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch (2/2)
At this moment.
Surrounded by several people, Dai Mao burst into laughter:
“Hahaha…”
“Lu Youjiu, I, Dai Mao, admit defeat in this matter.”
“But do you really think I have no options left?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone instantly became alert.
Lu Youjiu’s brow was also tightly furrowed as he stared intently at Dai Mao.
Dai Mao was clearly at the end of his strength, and he was no longer capable of inflicting fatal damage on the group.
Unless he self-destructed…
Given his Golden Core Peak cultivation, if he chose to self-destruct, it was doubtful any of them could emerge unscathed.
Seeing everyone on guard, Dai Mao laughed wildly.
“Hahaha…”
“You think I’m going to self-destruct?”
“I’m not that foolish. Even if I did self-destruct, with you all on guard, it wouldn’t cause you much damage.”
It was at this moment.
Dai Mao struck downwards with a palm towards the palace below.
The extravagantly luxurious palace crumbled instantly under Dai Mao’s palm, becoming a mess of ruins.
Right after this palm strike, a shallow pit appeared at the former center of the palace.
This pit was sealed by a formation, and inside it, sat a mutton-fat jade vase with an ancient talisman attached.
After that palm strike, Dai Mao immediately dived down to the side of the pit. He then formed hand seals and suddenly, several formation patterns appeared on the sealing formation.
Under the influence of these patterns, the sealing formation slowly began to fade.
Seeing Dai Mao relentlessly trying to open this sealing formation, Lin Jing and the others all frowned deeply.
It seemed there was something terrifying sealed within the formation.
And Dai Mao wanted to use it to deal with Lin Jing and the others.
However.
Now that the formation was being unlocked, it was too late for them to intervene.
Lin Jing and the group could only stay on high alert and keep their eyes on the mutton-fat jade vase within the formation.
After unlocking the formation, Dai Mao reached out and took the jade vase.
Then, he peeled off the talisman, stored it away, and channeled his spiritual power to crush the jade vase.
As the mutton-fat jade vase shattered, a surge of black demonic qi shot straight into the sky, this qi was much denser than the demonic qi on Dai Mao.
Following the emergence of this black demonic qi, terrifying and strange laughter came from within the fog.
“Jiejiejie…”
“I, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, am finally free.”
Next, the black demonic qi circled twice above Dai Mao’s head and then transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man, who looked at Dai Mao and said:
“It’s been so long, you’ve finally decided to release me.”
“You didn’t trust me before, but now that you’ve chosen to let me out, if I’m not mistaken, you must be facing a crisis that you can’t overcome.”
This entity known as the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch circled above the heads of Dai Mao and Lin Jing’s group, transformed back into the appearance of the middle-aged man, and then spoke to Dai Mao:
“My guess is correct, isn’t it…”
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Jing and the others, but his gaze did not linger on them and merely swept over casually.
Observing his demeanor, he wasn’t concerned about Lin Jing and the group in the slightest.
Yet, Lin Jing and his companions were on high alert.
Because the demonic qi emanating from this person was incredibly powerful, and his divine sense was outrageously strong as well.
If Lin Jing was not mistaken, this person must have been at least a Nascent Soul cultivator previously, or possibly even higher…
However, it was unknown why he had been sealed away, left without a body, and transformed into the current state of black demonic qi.
Moreover.
When the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch’s qi hovered over Lin Jing’s head, Lin Jing felt a familiar sensation.
It seemed within the demonic qi of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, there was something related to him that triggered his senses.
But the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was too fast, and before Lin Jing could properly discern it, he had already flown away again.
Lin Jing watched the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, who had returned to Dai Mao’s side, his brows tightly knotted as he carefully recalled the sensation…
……
At this time, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch spoke again:
“Long ago, I told you that the price for my help was not cheap. Are you sure you want to go through with it?”
Dai Mao looked at Lu Youjiu, his eyes resolute, and then he spoke directly:
“I’m sure…”
“As long as senior can help me kill these people, I am willing to lend my body to senior and aid in the recovery of your strength.”
“Haha… very well,” said the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, laughing.
Everyone watched the suddenly appearing Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, their brows deeply furrowed.
He was in a mere state of demonic qi now, yet he was immensely powerful.
But just at this moment…
Lu Youjiu suddenly launched an attack, drawing his sword and slashing towards the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
The sword light soared like a rainbow, sweeping towards the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
“Hmph!”
Yet, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch merely snorted coldly and then turned back into a mist.
The sword light passed directly through the mist, failing to inflict any harm on the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
