Book 16: Chapter 92: Enter Hell Together With the Devil King

Zhang Ping’s body seemed to have become an amalgamation of black bugs. These black bugs would quickly regenerate even if they were blasted to pieces.

Compared to the ‘eternal life’ Zhang Ping granted those Purgatory Mountain elders, Zhang Ping’s body seemed more like an imperishable and everlasting body.

The true power of a devil king mostly came from his body.

Zhang Ping’s body was precisely another trap he set up for Lin Xi.

But when Lin Xi’s sea of extreme cold poured into his body, freezing all of these black bugs within him, Zhang Ping realized that Lin Xi already prepared for this trap ahead of time.

He also knew where Lin Xi obtained his insights from.

The past Ni Henian used his own body to hold extreme cold vital energy. This was how he planned to deal with Purgatory Mountain Patriarch’s flames.

Meanwhile, the amount of icy cold vital energy absorbed by Lin Xi’s body while he moved through Frozen God Domain was definitely several times that of Ni Henian.

The cold in Frozen God Domain poured out from his body. His skin was immediately covered in a layer of snow-white frost, forming an icy shell.

The devil blood flowing within his body was completely frozen. His consciousness was covered by a layer of ice.

His fist that was aimed at Lin Xi froze in the air.

The True Dragon Sword in Lin Xi’s hands moved across his body. This sword itself already couldn’t handle all of the natural vital energy and extreme cold pouring into it, already on the verge of collapse.

Zhang Ping’s plan had always been to get within close distance of Lin Xi. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he would still be slowly whittled away by the almost eternally tireless Lin Xi. But right now, he only wanted to run as far away from Lin Xi as possible.

A miserable scream erupted from his mouth.

As his perception even slowed from the cold, because of the pressure of death, several drops of the most viscous blood within the depths of his heart began to burn.

The blood vessels exposed on the surface of his body began to completely burn. They turned into true lines of flames.

The red-purple flames burned through a portion of the icy cold vital energy, allowing his body to break free from Lin Xi’s sword at an imminent moment. His body withdrew several dozen zhang of distance in an instant.

…

Chunks of ice fell from Zhang Ping’s body piece after piece, and then turned into vital energy. Snow began to fall from the sky.

The fiery lines were no longer burning, but knife scars covered the surface of his body. Black blood began to flow out from these wounds.

Whenever a drop of black blood landed on the ground, some black bugs seemed like they would take form from the small puddle and wriggle around. But in the end, it would fester and turn into a black liquid again.

“The Frozen God Domain cold energy within your body has already been exhausted. There is no way that you can release another strike with it.”

Black blood dripped down from Zhang Ping’s face. He raised his head and said this to Lin Xi. A blast of red-purple flame surged from his wounds and covered them.

“You are right.”

Lin Xi nodded. But when he said this, another wave of power took form.

The sky above his head became golden yellow.

Endless golden lighting poured down from above him. It gathered into heaven and earth vital energy and poured into the True Dragon Sword in his hands.

This was his merged soul.

Even though he already used up all of the power from Frozen God Domain, he still had Yunqin’s special soul merging. As the cultivation realm of a cultivator grew, the merged soul’s power would similarly continuously grow.

That was why his current power increased once again.

He calmly thrusted out his sword at Zhang Ping again.

The True Dragon Sword in his hands exploded into countless fragments, these fragments flying out like golden shooting stars. Before Zhang Ping’s mocking voice even faded, all of them smashed into his body.

These fragments were burned into even finer fragments by Zhang Ping’s flames. When they landed on Zhang Ping, endless fragments and even more finer droplets of blood shot out.

Zhang Ping screamed madly.

His hand clutched his abdomen.

What affected him the most right now wasn’t the sword wound in his chest or the countless fine injuries made from the True Dragon Sword’s fragments, but rather his liver.

It was because right atthis time, Qin Xiyue’s aura appeared in his perception.

Qin Xiyue was somewhere behind Lin Xi, yet she continued to remain hidden. She didn’t appear in his line of sight.

Even though he understood clearly that this might be another one of Lin Xi and the others’ schemes, his anger still reached a point it had never reached before.

…

“I’ve done so much for you, yet you aren’t even willing to see me at this type of time?”

Zhang Ping’s face became extremely sinister. He looked behind Lin Xi and said this while surging with berserk flames.

“Why does she have to see you?”

Xu Shengmo and the others had already withdrawn further away. Xu Shengmo already witnessed how formidable Zhang Ping was, yet when he heard how Zhang Ping spoke to Qin Xiyue, he still couldn’t help but say with disdain, “Don’t tell me that just because you did something for someone else, they have to accept it? If I did some things for Qin Xiyue, does she have to marry me? Being resentful just because you didn’t receive any reciprocation from doing some things… isn’t that what an idiot would do? Also, even if you claim that you did those things for her, think about the things you did afterwards! Someone like you is doomed to be a toad in a well who lusts after a swan. You climb a little towards her, but then you feel like you won’t make it, so you just hold a grudge. What a pitiful thing.”

Xu Shengmo’s words were still harsh and unkind, but his words were indeed reasonable.

“Very good. Everyone loves Lin Xi, the world loves Lin Xi. All of you stand by Lin Xi’s side.”

Zhang Ping laughed crazily. “Lin Xi, are you still going to put on that magnanimous exterior? That if I repent now, you’ll still forgive me, your past friend?”

Lin Xi looked at him. “If everyone stands on my side, then that means that one who is wrong is you. Many things, including your view on friends, are wrong.”

“I do not know what you experienced in Frozen God Domain that brought you this level of cultivation. I admit that your despicable methods were indeed useful enough to injure me to this state. But do you think that you’ve already defeated me by relying on these methods?”

Zhang Ping looked at Lin Xi furiously and said, “It is just a pity that the more you anger me, the worse your ending will be. It is a pity that your understanding towards the Immortal Devil Age is still too shallow.”

Lin Xi felt a bad premonition. He took a deep breath, and then the world’s vital energy rushed into his body with even greater speed.

“The devil king’s most powerful aspect lies in his incarnation. When one devil king perishes, it signifies the birth of a new one. I want to witness your suffering when what you value most is destroyed.”

A spear condensed from vital energy appeared in Lin Xi’s hand, golden lightning swirling around it. Meanwhile, Lin Xi was just about to fling this spear towards Zhang Ping, but Zhang Ping actually said these words.

The instant he said this, Zhang Ping’s eyes shifted towards Gao Yanan behind Lin Xi.

At this time, a white clothed monk walked out from the forest behind Lin Xi.

This white clothed monk was naturally Xuan Yuan who came from Sanskrit Temple.

Not even Zhen Pilu and Yun Hai knew why he would come all the way here.

He only said that he wanted to stand at Lin Xi’s side.

…

When Xuan Yuan walked out, Lin Xi didn’t do anything. It was because Zhang Ping’s body shriveled again. His flesh wilted like a flower. However, an exceptionally vivid and terrifying wave of power moved towards Gao Yanan’s body following Zhang Ping’s gaze.

This was like a wave of soul force that rushed out, yet it wasn’t soul force. Instead, it was an invisible power condensed from life energy and pure spiritual energy.

This type of power was just like a type of energy that existed in this world, yet couldn’t be sensed or touched. Even the current Lin Xi didn’t know how to stop it. The only thing he was certain about was that if this power landed on Gao Yanan, then it would definitely lead to a result he didn’t wish to see. His face instantly turned snow-white.

“The devil king will disappear from this world in the end.”

At this time, a strange scene happened.

Xuan Yuan looked at Zhang Ping and said this without any joy or sorrow.

His body released buddha light. Then, his body looked like it became completely dry, like sand that could swallow up anything.

Zhang Ping’s furious but ecstatic face suddenly changed into horror.

That wave of invisible power aimed at Gao Yanan instead moved uncontrollably towards Xuan Yuan.

Zhang Ping spat out a mouthful of black blood in alarm. His shriveled body began to expand again.

Pu!

He took a step back. Once again, a small puddle of lava formed underneath his feet. Meanwhile, his body began to tremble slightly, his eyes filled with complete disbelief.

Lin Xi sensed that Zhang Ping’s attack was dispelled by Xuan Yuan, but he still couldn’t understand what happened. As such, he turned around to look at Xuan Yuan.

Xuan Yuan seemed a bit moved as well. He looked at Lin Xi and said, “The truth will always be circulated among many records. The records of any one party have a chance of having errors. In Sanskrit Temple’s recordings, Sanskrit Temple were cultivators under the control of the devil king to begin with. But in the records I saw deep within the sea of sand, the devil king could only occupy the body of a cultivator with cultivation inferior to his and carry out a reincarnation.”

Xuan Yuan didn’t say too much, but when Lin Xi recalled the scene that had just taken place, he completely reacted.

Just now, Zhang Ping wanted to occupy Gao Yanan’s body and carry out a devil king reincarnation.

His body was already in complete tatters, his liver suffering fatal damage. But once he took over Gao Yanan’s body, she would become a new devil king.

At that time, not only would Lin Xi have to face Gao Yanan’s death, he would have to start a new battle against the newly born devil king within Gao Yanan’s body.

Zhang Ping not only wanted to kill Lin Xi, he wanted to mercilessly destroy Lin Xi’s everything before that.

But his reincarnation was stopped by Xuan Yuan.

In that instant, Xuan Yuan had the ability to absorb the devil king’s reincarnation power into his own body, and then destroy this reincarnation power together with himself.

This was precisely a mutual destruction sacrifice.

This was precisely his devil exorcism conviction to drag the devil king down into hell with him.

If he was even a moment slower, Zhang Ping would have died with Xuan Yuan… This was the last blow that finally made Zhang Ping lose all of his confidence and sink into fear.
