Chapter 1762 Defeat (2)
As Yun Lintian appeared, a white light immediately shone brightly around the Heaven Piercing Sword and shot into the sky, illuminating the entire area.
Before Yao Huang could react, the light pillar had already descended upon him as Yun Lintian swung the sword down.
BOOM—
Yao Huang was engulfed in a brilliant light, followed by a terrifying explosion that shook the entire Devil Valley.
"Master!" Yao Jie was shocked and wanted to take action. However, Jin Long had already appeared in front of him.
"Get out!" Yao Jie's arm transformed into a menacing claw as he lunged at Jin Long.
Golden flames lit up in Jin Long's eyes. His arms transformed into dragon claws as he struck forward.
Roar—
A deafening cry of a dragon reverberated throughout the entire space, causing the ancient beasts outside to tremble.
BOOM—
The dragon and fiendish claws collided, causing the surrounding space to distort wildly.
Yao Jie's figure could be seen soaring through the air before crashing heavily to the ground. His eyes widened in disbelief as he gazed at Jin Long.
Xian An glanced coldly at the corner of the arena. "You can try to make a move."
A figure hiding in the corner immediately halted its movement, hesitating to proceed.
Hongyue stared attentively at the arena, trying to get a clear view.
At this moment, the arena had already been shattered into a pile of debris, and the protective barrier had long disappeared.
A figure could be seen standing tall amidst the dust clouds. This person was none other than Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian shook the numbness out of his hand and turned to look at Yao Huang, who had retreated several meters away. "You lose."
Yao Huang's arms were currently drenched in black blood. His sleeves were torn into pieces long ago. In that critical moment, he accidentally unleashed a power beyond the Divine King Realm to defend himself against Yun Lintian's attack. Otherwise, he would be even more miserable by now.
Yao Huang stared at Yun Lintian for a while and then let out a sigh. "You win."
"Master?" Yao Jie felt both relieved and confused. He couldn't believe that Yao Huang had actually been defeated.
Yao Huang glanced at Yao Jie and the others lurking in the dark and spoke. "Stand down."
As his voice fell, the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire area immediately dispersed.
Yao Huang looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "Can you tell me about your technique? It must be more than just a simple light element and the Shadow Step."
Yun Lintian put away the Heaven Piercing Sword and the other two swords and explained generously. "Truthfully, it was nothing more than what you had said. I used the light element to give you the illusion that I need to create a shadow in order to use the Shadow Step. However, the darkness itself is, in fact, a shadow."
Yao Huang immediately understood everything. Basically, the darkness he created was similar to a shadow realm for Yun Lintian. He could hide himself anywhere within the dark world.
"As expected from a True God's divine art." Yao Huang said gently.
Although he inherited the legacy of the Primordial Heaven Devouring Devil God, there were many things he didn't know, such as a mysterious true god like the Shadow God.
"Honestly, I didn't expect to win like this." Yun Lintian said calmly. "I thought I had to use everything in this battle. I don't think I could have won if you hadn't suppressed your strength."n--OVelbIn
"You're too modest." Yao Huang said. He had paid for his arrogance in this battle. "Even now, you still have no idea how strong you can be."
"You have said something like this a few times now. You seem to know about me, but then again, you don't." Yun Lintian said with puzzlement.
"It's just my guess. I cannot be sure." Yao Huang responded.
"What is it?" Yun Lintian asked further.
"We can talk about it later." Yao Huang said and opened his palm. Immediately, a black-as-ink orb appeared in the air.
The moment the orb appeared, the surrounding darkness began to stir with excitement and quickly gathered around it.
"This is the Dark Pearl." Yao Huang said and pushed it towards Yun Lintian.
"Master..." Yao Jie wanted to say something but was interrupted by the cold gaze of Yao Huang.
Yun Lintian was, in fact, surprised by Yao Huang's behavior from the beginning to the present. This person didn't look like someone who had colluded with the Great Devils and slaughtered millions of people at all. Why was that?
Hongyue and Master Bai were also surprised. They thought Yao Huang was simply putting on an act to deceive them and that he would definitely resort to force if he lost. Unexpectedly, he actually gave up the Dark Pearl so easily.
Yun Lintian could feel a strong connection between himself and the orb. Without a doubt, the black orb was the authentic Dark Pearl.
He reached out to grab the Dark Pearl, and the Beyond Heaven King's Crown immediately appeared on his head on its own.
Buzz—
When Yun Lintian touched the pearl, the surrounding dark energy immediately swarmed towards him and engulfed him completely.
Yun Lintian could feel every pore on his body opening and greedily absorbing the dark energy.
The Dark Pearl suddenly transformed into a dark beam and rushed into Yun Lintian's forehead.
At that moment, a massive torrent of dark energy flooded Yun Lintian's body and spread throughout every corner.
Yun Lintian's Divine Core spun rapidly, exerting its utmost effort to refine the foreign power.
Yun Lintian's eyes and skin turned completely black. He looked like a godly devil at this moment.
Yao Huang looked at the scene thoughtfully. He had been attempting to refine the Dark Pearl for personal use over the years but ultimately failed. He truly admired the Beyond Heaven King and Goddess Yao Xi for creating such a powerful artifact.
Hongyue immediately came to Yun Lintian's side and erected a protective barrier.
"Big Brother Yun has become ugly." Qingqing looked at Yun Lintian strangely as she saw his veins wriggling like maggots beneath his skin.
Linlin jumped down from Hongyue and sat beside Yun Lintian, staring vigilantly at Yao Jie and the others.
Master Bai was about to say something but suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
When he looked up, he immediately saw a group of dark figures.
"Mo Tian." Master Bai's face darkened.
