Chapter 502: Monster King
After Fei ShiDaoist Master retrieved the natalspiritual tool, Meng Zhang temporarily escaped from the suppressed situation. However, there was no trace of joy on his face. Instead, he looked solemnly towards the pce.
Wu Mingwei, who had recovered his energy, casually threw a healing talisman. The talismannded on Fei JiangDaoist Master and turned into a green light that merged into his body.
Fei JiangDaoist Master, who had barely controlled his injuries, quickly swallowed a pill and began healing himself.
Qin Hongying''s injuries were much lighter than Fei JiangDaoist Master''s, and with this buffer, she had already stood up. However, fear still lingered on her face as she stared ahead.
The change came quickly, without making the crowd wait for long. A huge white lion phantom slowly rose from the top of the pce, overlooking everyone from above.
"White Lion Demon King," Fei ShiDaoist Master said the name almost word by word.
"How is this possible? Aren''t you supposed to be dead?" Wu Mingwei panicked almost as much as Qin Hongying.
Perhaps because Meng Zhang was the youngest among them, he had the least fear of the White Lion Demon King, like a young calf unafraid of tigers. In the hearts of those present, White Lion Demon King was still the Monster King who once dominated the Endless Sea of Sand.
But that was hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Purple Gold Sect was still the ruler of the Endless Sea of Sand. Cultivators like Qin Hongying and Fei ShiDaoist Master, who were older, still vividly remembered the White Lion Demon King''s various atrocities.In their minds, White Lion Demon King was still the once formidable Monster King. But for Meng Zhang''s generation, White Lion Demon King had be a legendary beast, more of a symbol than anything else.
Meng Zhang instinctively activated his Deception Breaking Eye and carefully examined the huge white lion phantom. Although he couldn''tpletely see through the opponent, the limited information he obtained was enough to dispel his fear.
"Don''t panic, everyone. Something is off about this big guy."
In fact, there was no need for Meng Zhang to remind them. Everyone had already noticed the issue. Even Qin Hongying, who had been frightened a moment ago, quickly saw through the opponent''s facade.
Although the white lion phantom appeared imposing and could easily overpower the Gold Core Daoist Masters present, a closer observation revealed a sense of weakness.
Theplete White Lion Demon King was a Fourth Rank monster capable of matching a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. With just a little effort, it could easily crush all the Gold Core Daoist Masters present like insignificant bugs.
But now, it had the aura butcked the matching power.
If it hadn''t taken advantage of Qin Hongying and Fei JiangDaoist Master''sck of preparedness andunched a sudden attack, it wouldn''t have been able to easily inflict heavy injuries on them.
Fei ShiDaoist Master, with the highest cultivation base and the sharpest insight, had already seen through the opponent''s weakness.
"A mere remnant soul, daring to cause trouble instead of waiting obediently for death. Truly ignorant of one''s own insignificance."
Seemingly provoked by Fei ShiDaoist Master''s words, the white lion phantom roared angrily, causing everyone''s ears to buzz.
"You useless crows couldn''t even handle a small matter and let you all trespass here."
"Since you''vee, don''t think about leaving. All of you will go underground and apany those useless crows."
In a thunderous voice, the white lion phantom directly attacked. A wave of energy swept through, fiercely engulfing everyone present.
Although Fei ShiDaoist Master appeared calm in his words, he didn''t dare to be careless when it came to action. The natalspiritual tool flew above his head, protecting his entire body.
White Lion Demon King''s first move was arge-scale group attack, enveloping everyone present.
At this moment, faced with the indiscriminate attacks of a formidable enemy, everyone no longer cared about their grievances with each other. They temporarily joined forces to confront the enemy.
Thus, everyone disyed their abilities and unleashed numerous Divine Ability techniques against the remnants of the White Lion Demon King.
Of course, each person held back to some extent. No one was foolish enough to go all out at this moment without reserving some strength.
The five Gold Core Daoist Masters present engaged in a fierce battle against the Fourth Rank monster, the remnants of the White Lion Demon King. The fight quickly entered a heated stage.
Although the White Lion Demon King appeared fearsome and invincible, in reality, it did have a sense of weakness.
Hundreds of years ago, when the White Lion Demon King entered the Deadly Sea of Sand, it led its subordinates to besiege a Fifth Rank great power. After a great battle, its Third Rank monster subordinates suffered heavy losses, and the White Lion Demon King itself was gravely injured and on the verge of death.
After barely escaping back to itsir, the White Lion Demon King''s physical body finally couldn''t hold on andpletely copsed, leaving only its lingering soul.Unlike the Primordial Spirit True Monarch of humans, most of the abilities of Fourth Rank demonic beasts are in their own physical bodies. Even if the physical body of a human Primordial Spirit True Monarch copses, the Primordial Spirit can exist independently and retain a significant portion of its strength. A pure Primordial Spirit can cultivate as a ghost immortal or follow the path of a Ghost Deity.
However, Fourth Rank demonic beasts do not have such luck. After the copse of their physical bodies, their remaining soul power is not strong, and it continues to decline. Even if they want to seize another body for rebirth, it is difficult to find a suitable vessel to amodate their residual soul.
Demonic beasts are not cultivators of the Dao, so they cannot cultivate as ghost immortals. As for the path of the Ghost Deity, the White Lion Demon King is unable to enter. It seems that the residual soul of the White Lion Demon King can only slowly dissipate. Fortunately, there is always a way out. The White Lion Demon King has thought of thest path avable.
Back then, the White Lion Demon King took advantage of the opportunity and killed the heavily injured Li Zhong, the True Monarch, and seized the treasure known as Myriad Layers Peak. Myriad Layers Peak is a Fourth Rank magic tool. In the Cultivation World, Fourth Rank magic tools are also known as treasures or artifacts. Third Rank magic tools possess a certain spirituality and are called spiritual tools. Fourth Rank magic tools, or treasures, generally have a tool spirit. A tool spirit is a special creature with intelligence and many unique abilities.
Myriad Layers Peak also has a tool spirit, although its tool spirit is not very powerful and is not skilled inbat. Thest resort that the White Lion Demon King came up with is to devour the tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak with its own residual soul and use Myriad Layers Peak, this Fourth Rank magic tool, as its new body. Although Myriad Layers Peak''s attack and defense capabilities are average, it is, after all, a Fourth Rank magic tool with extraordinary essence, fully capable of amodating the residual soul of the White Lion Demon King. Devouring the tool spirit with its residual soul can provide a significant replenishment. With a new body, itsbat power can be restored to at least half.
Once the great n is aplished, the White Lion Demon King will once again be the unrivaled Monster King. For hundreds of years, the residual soul of the White Lion Demon King has been hiding here, devouring the tool spirit. Its most trusted subordinate, the Dark Crow Demon General, is responsible for guarding outside. With the various arrangements it left outside and the formidable Dark Crow Demon General, it can almost block all prying from both inside and outside the Demon Wind Gobi.
To avoid external interference, the White Lion Demon King has kept this matter strictly confidential. It even spread news of its own death to confuse any potential enemies. In addition to the Dark Crow Demon General guarding outside, there is also an elite demonic beast guard stationed outside the pce, day and night.
With everything arranged properly, the White Lion Demon King can rest assured and focus on devouring the tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak wholeheartedly. What surprises the White Lion Demon King is that the tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak, despite its weakbat power and seemingly timid personality, is incredibly tenacious and resilient. Even after hundreds of years, the White Lion Demon King has been unable topletely devour it.
The tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak has been resisting in various ways, preventing the White Lion Demon King from achieving its goals. Even when the White Lion Demon King devoured most of it, leaving only a small part of its spiritual body, it still fought desperately in its final resistance.
Of course, the White Lion Demon King, being a Fourth Rank demonic beast, has a strong residual soul and many means at its disposal. After hundreds of years of honing, the tool spirit of Myriad Layers Peak is almostpletely devoured by it. If nothing unexpected happens, it won''t be long before the White Lion Demon King achieves its goal.
Unfortunately, things don''t always go as nned. Just when it was about to seed, a group of human Gold Core cultivators broke through the defenses and chased the Dark Crow Demon General all the way here. The Dark Crow Demon General and the demonic beast guards all died in battle, leaving only the White Lion Demon King to face the enemy.
The crucial process was interrupted, and the White Lion Demon King was furious. Most importantly, it cannot let these human cultivators leave alive. Otherwise, the secret of its continued existence might be exposed, potentially attracting enemies from the past. Given the White Lion Demon King''s current state, it has little resistance against its old enemies.
With a murderous intent, the White Lion Demon King unleashed its full power, vowing to keep these human cultivators here. However, the residual soul is just a residual soul, and without the powerful physical body of a demonic beast, the White Lion Demon King''s formidable appearance does not match its actualbat strength.
If the five human Gold Core cultivators present could unite and wholeheartedly join forces against the enemy, they might not defeat the White Lion Demon King, but at least they wouldn''t be at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, the five individuals split into two groups, each harboring their own ulterior motives andcking trust in each other. Even between Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying, who have been together all along, there is already a rift in their hearts. They hope others will attract the attention of the White Lion Demon King and save their own energy.
The three Gold Core Daoist Masters from the Flying Swan Sect are united, but they also reserve a significant portion of their strength to guard against Meng Zhang and Qin Hongying, so they won''t go all out. The five Gold Core Daoist Masters are too cunning, unwilling to risk their lives, and hope others will bear the pressure.
As a result, the White Lion Demon King, facing five opponents alone, gradually gained the upper hand. The self-assured White Lion Demon King suppressed the five Gold Core Daoist Masters while still having the ability to pay attention to its surroundings.
"There are even two little bugs." The White Lion Demon King sneered disdainfully and fiercely swiped its enormous w, formed from demonic energy, towards an empty space on the left. After a series of shattering sounds like breaking ss, it seemed as if arge hole had been torn open in the space. Two figures flew out from inside, looking somewhat disheveled.
