Chapter 355: Chapter 56 Heavenly Desire Demon Monarch

Lin Jing nodded, then left with the two little girls.

Thus, Lin Jing, holding the two little girls, flew all the way.

They arrived at the island where they had initially landed upon their arrival, which was relatively safe compared to others.

And.

The aftermath of the battle did not reach this place.

Lin Jing found a safe place for the two girls and then said to them,

“You two stay here and do not wander off; this place is quite safe. I’ll come back for you once everything is over.”

After Lin Jing finished speaking, the two little girls appeared somewhat timid, just clutching at Lin Jing’s sleeve, gazing at him with hopeful eyes.

It seemed that their previous ordeal had probably terrified them.

Seeing this, Lin Jing stretched out his hand, ruffled their heads, and consoled,

“Don’t worry, we will certainly not abandon you two.”

Hearing what Lin Jing said, they finally let go of his sleeve, reluctantly.

Afterward.

After saying goodbye to the two little girls, Lin Jing left and headed towards Li Yan Island.

Arriving at Li Yan Island, the battle there had already reached its final stages.

There was no need for others to step in; Yan Wanfei alone had taken care of the two cultivators, one tall, and one short.

At this time, there were also some cultivators who had sided with Dai Mao and followed him in his evil deeds, trying to break out of Li Yan Island.

But they were all stopped by the grand formation laid out by Holaw Three Rivers.

These people, having sided with Dai Mao and using him as their backing, often bullied the original inhabitants of the island.

Moreover, the aura of bloodshed on them was thick, clearly not the kind who were benevolent.

Not a single one deserved pity.

Therefore, Yan Wanfei did not show any mercy.

By the time Lin Jing returned, these people were almost completely exterminated by him.

Just a few scattered individuals were left.

And the other island inhabitants, seeing Dai Mao’s power crumbling, also began to resist.

In the end, after not too long.

All the demon cultivators that followed Dai Mao and his underlings were killed by the original cultivators of the island, none escaped.

Now, only Dai Mao was left.

Sometime after Dai Mao’s forces were annihilated on Li Yan Island, a great disturbance came from the sea ahead.

Accompanied by this disturbance was that familiar overwhelming Demonic Qi.

Obviously, Dai Mao had returned.

Before Dai Mao could get close, Lin Jing and Holaw Three Rivers went straight up to intercept him.

Yan Wanfei, having just collected the spoils of war, also hurried to Lin Jing’s side to stand with them, vigilantly preparing for Dai Mao’s assault.

However.

When Dai Mao approached and got closer, the three of them then realized…

Dai Mao was in a terribly miserable state, with several deep wounds that revealed bone, from which crimson blood continually dripped.

Besides the injuries on his body, even the Demonic Qi around him, though it seemed thick, gave off a sense of being spent.

When Dai Mao saw Lin Jing and the others blocking his path, he frowned and then condensed Demonic Qi into three blood-red skeletons.

These skeletons were incredibly powerful, exuding a sinister and bloody aura the moment they were summoned.

Dai Mao then pointed at the three men and uttered one word.

“Go!”

The skeletons, as if possessing eyes, dragged long blood-red tails and howled as they attacked Lin Jing and the others.

Although Dai Mao was not in good condition, the aura coming from the Skeleton Spell he deployed was quite terrifying.

The moment the spell materialized, the three knew that they could not withstand it.

So, as the blood-red skeletons approached, Lin Jing and the others quickly dodged.

However, just as they dodged…

The blood-red skeletons charged fiercely and, after Lin Jing and the others had moved out of the way, slammed directly into the formation behind them.

“Boom!”

The blood-red skeletons exploded upon the formation, the power of the blast was immense, blowing a huge hole in the formation arranged by Holaw Three Rivers.

Seizing the opportunity, Dai Mao hurriedly flew towards the island.

Seeing this, everyone promptly sought to intercept him, but Dai Mao managed to evade them and then directly entered Li Yan Island through the hole that had been created.

Just at that moment.

Another presence approached from the distant sea.

The newcomer was Lu Youjiu.

Lu Youjiu, brandishing a long sword, flew straight over.

Lu Youjiu’s condition was clearly much better than that of Dai Mao.

Seeing Dai Mao fly into Li Yan Island, Lu Youjiu did not hesitate to follow.

Seeing Lu Youjiu flying into Li Yan Island, Lin Jing and the others soon followed behind him and flew in as well.

In this manner, everyone soon reached the center of Li Yan Island, above a luxurious palace.

Looking down at the palace below, with its golden bricks and jade tiles, it was incredibly luxurious, and surrounding the palace was a huge Spirit Gathering Array.

Clearly, this must have been Dai Mao’s residence on the island.

Dai Mao stopped above this palace.

When Lu Youjiu, along with Lin Jing and the others, arrived, they surrounded Dai Mao.

“What, do you still think you can run away?” Lu Youjiu stared directly at Dai Mao and said.

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.
