Chapter 356 - 57 Defeating the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch once again transformed back into the appearance of the middle-aged man from before and looked at the group with a sinister smile:
“Hehe…”
“Merely a few children…”
Having said that, he then spoke to Dai Mao:
“Good…”
“Once I have recovered, I will naturally help you get rid of them.”
Continuing, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch said to Dai Mao:
“Now, let go of your mind. I will take control of your body first and help you kill them.”
“Otherwise, if they end up destroying your body later on, I won’t be able to help you.”
“You know that the power I can exert right now is limited…”
“Of course…”
Having said this, Dai Mao directly relinquished the control of his mind and said to the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch:
“Senior, come…”
After speaking, Dai Mao immediately closed his eyes, waiting for the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch to enter his body.
Meanwhile, a ghastly glow flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, who laughed eerily at Dai Mao:
“Hehehe… I am coming…”
After speaking, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch instantly rushed into Dai Mao’s body.
However, as soon as the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch entered Dai Mao’s body, Dai Mao felt excruciating pain.
“Aaaah…”
Accompanied by a piercing scream, Dai Mao rolled on the ground clutching his head.
And from his mouth came agonizing cries:
“Heavenly Desire Senior, what are you doing?”
“I trusted you so much, yet you are trying to possess me.”
Then, from within Dai Mao’s body, came the voice of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch:
“Hehehe…”
“Did you really think I didn’t know what you were thinking?”
“To devour me, you don’t have the strength…”
Only then did Dai Mao suddenly realize the truth. His eyes bloodshot, he roared:
“Heavenly Desire old thief, you lied to me…”
“You were never afraid of that talisman.”
However, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch simply said:
“Hehe…”
“You are far too naive.”
“If I hadn’t revealed a weakness, you probably would never have let me out.”
“As for now, use your body to fulfill my aim.”
Having finished speaking, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch transformed back into a black demonic Qi, completely enveloping Dai Mao.
And within the black demonic Qi, Dai Mao wailed in agony:
“Aaaah…”
“Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, you will not die a good death…”
Yet, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch showed no annoyance but instead began to console Dai Mao:
“Don’t worry, after I have possessed you, I will definitely kill those people to avenge you.”
“After all, we have had so many years of pitting our wits against each other…”
“Aaaah… I am filled with hatred…”
At this moment, bulging veins appeared on Dai Mao’s forehead; his entire eyes were filled with blood, with tears of blood continuously flowing down from the corners…
Clearly, he was experiencing extreme pain.
At such a critical moment, the group couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
Lu Youjiu immediately took the gourd from his waist, opened it, and took a swig. Instantly, his aura surged dramatically.
And then.
Lu Youjiu spoke up, directly saying to Lin Jing and the others:
“Now’s the time, kill him…”
Having finished speaking, Lu Youjiu hurled a sword energy strike towards Dai Mao.
Hearing the conversation between those two just now, Lu Youjiu understood that the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch seemed to be restricted, unable to fully utilize his true power without a body.
To deal with the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, they must first destroy Dai Mao’s body.
Besides Lu Youjiu, Yan Wanfei and Holaw Three Rivers also took action.
Yan Wanfei’s aura burst forth, and behind him, a massive ox head phantom emerged.
Immediately following, the silver-white long spear in Yan Wanfei’s hands was unleashed, striking towards Dai Mao who was shrouded in the middle by the dark mist.
And Holaw Three Rivers also threw a few formation flags towards Dai Mao, intending to trap him.
However, whether it was Yan Wanfei’s long spear or Holaw Three Rivers’ formation flags, none could get close to Dai Mao, as they were frozen in place, unable to move.
Even the sword energy from Lu Youjiu was pinched and obliterated by a hand extended from ‘Dai Mao,’ then dissipated into nothingness.
By now, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch had gained control over Dai Mao’s body and was probably close to completing the possession.
“Hehe…”
“With just you few trying to ambush me at this moment, you are really overestimating yourselves. Once the possession is complete, your doom will come.”
“Not one of you will be able to escape.”
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was far too powerful; with their cultivation, they could not affect him at all.
However, just then, Lin Jing took action.
The reason Lin Jing was slower to act than Lu Youjiu and the others was because.
Until just now, he had finally realized what exactly was in that black Demonic Qi transformed by the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
It was a spell, akin to a Five Elements Divine Light.
Moreover, this spell was extremely powerful,
Even more so than the aura of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch itself.
And.
After witnessing the failed attacks of Lu Youjiu and the others, Lin Jing knew that with his attack, he definitely would have no effect just like the others.
And this Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch was too powerful.
Therefore, after sensing the spell that shared the same origin as the Five Elements Divine Art, Lin Jing decided to take a risk.
If he could trigger the explosion of the Five Elements Divine Art spell that lingered within the Demonic Qi of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch, then even if the Demon Lord did not die, he would be severely injured.
So.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Jing charged forward directly.
He wanted to control the spell in the black fog that originated from the Five Elements Divine Art, so he needed to get close to the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
Only by getting closer could Lin Jing better seize control.
However, just as Lin Jing charged forward,
that Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch let out a cold sneer:
“Hmph!”
“Overestimating your own abilities, a mere Body Refinement Cultivator rushing at me alone, I see you’ve grown tired of living. Once I completely take over Dai Mao’s body, you will be the first one I devour.”
Upon witnessing Lin Jing’s action,
Lu Youjiu, Yan Wanfei, and Holaw Three Rivers all changed their expressions drastically.
“Brother Lin…”
“Lin Daoyou…”
“Brother Lin, you must not…”
All three called out at the same time.
Nevertheless, Lin Jing did not stop.
Soon, as he was about to approach Dai Mao, Lin Jing suddenly stopped.
At this moment, all the black Demonic Qi had entered Dai Mao’s body, and his eyes had returned to normal, even his gaze was gradually becoming calm.
Lin Jing knew that the Heavenly Desire Demon Lord was close to successfully seizing the body.
At that moment, the Demon Lord looked at him with disdain and sneered coldly.
Without any hesitation, Lin Jing immediately circulated the Immortal Five Elements Technique and then stimulated the Five Elements Divine Art, attacking the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
When the Demon Lord saw the appearance of the colorful lights, he was first stunned, and then his eyes filled with terror.
“Five Elements Divine Art…”
“Five Elements… how could you possibly know the Five Elements…”
“Impossible… Absolutely impossible…”
The Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch seemed to be greatly agitated, repeating these words over and over, his voice becoming increasingly shrill.
After Lin Jing activated the Immortal Five Elements Technique, he clearly felt the familiar spell within Dai Mao’s body.
It was indeed the remnants of the Five Elements Divine Art.
It was very possible that this Heavenly Desire Demon Lord had encountered someone who had cultivated the Five Elements Divine Art and sealed them.
As Lin Jing employed the Five Elements Divine Art and the Five Elements Divine Light appeared, he distinctly felt the leftover Five Elements Divine Art begin to stir inside Dai Mao’s body.
The Heavenly Desire Demon Lord, seeing the Divine Light, was so frightened that he forgot to defend and hurriedly tried to control Dai Mao’s body, which he had not yet fully seized, to flee.
However, Lin Jing had no intention of letting him go.
As the Five Elements Divine Light merged with the aura of the Five Elements Divine Art in the grey fog,
Lin Jing discovered that he could actually temporarily control the group of Five Elements Divine Light.
And, the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch realized this as well.
He immediately screamed in panic.
“Ah…”
“Impossible, how can you control the spell he left behind?”
When the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch felt the Five Elements Divine Art spell in the grey fog beginning to move,
he instantly understood Lin Jing’s intention and frantically exclaimed:
“What are you going to do, no…”
Nevertheless, without any hesitation, Lin Jing simply uttered a single word:
“Explode!”
Immediately, the Five Elements Divine Art spell inside Dai Mao’s body erupted.
Countless rays of colorful light burst forth from Dai Mao’s body.
Although Dai Mao’s body was not completely shattered by the explosion, it was almost there.
And, Dai Mao’s blasted open body also revealed the true form of the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch inside, which was the cluster of black Demonic Qi.
At this point, the black Demonic Qi had become incredibly tenuous, almost transparent.
The power of this Five Elements Divine Art spell was truly terrifying.
At that moment, the previously scattered black Demonic Qi began to coalesce once again.
Lin Jing’s brow furrowed, and as he prepared to employ the Five Elements Divine Art once more,
he saw the black fog, along with Dai Mao’s battered body, vanish directly.
“You all wait, once I have fully recovered, I will exterminate you all…”
Just then, several people turned around and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
They saw the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch had already appeared on the edge of Li Yan Island, far away from them.
Just as they were about to pursue, the Demon Monarch had disappeared.
Only his last words floated in the air:
“And that kid who cultivates the Five Elements Divine Art, someday, I will make you wish you were dead…”
After the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch left, those who remained looked at each other.
Soon, they gathered together.
Yan Wanfei then spoke:
“Brother Jiu, what should we do next?”
Lu Youjiu looked in the direction the Demon Monarch had fled, his brow furrowed.
Having the demon escape was the last thing they wanted, yet even with their combined Cultivation, they were no match for the Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch.
“This is becoming troublesome…” Holaw Three Rivers also spoke at this time.
Lu Youjiu then said to the others:
“We need to discuss this properly now.”
“Okay…” everyone nodded.
At that moment, Lin Jing thought of the two little girls he had placed on another island and spoke:
“I’ll go get those two young ladies and bring them back.”
Lu Youjiu nodded, then said:
