Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Devouring the Mind

Under Lin Yun’s lead, the disciples of the Flawless Palace could finally contend with those from the other Five Great Forces, no longer having to flee in disarray as they had before.

In the sky, the battle between Lin Yun and Tang Wushuang was incredibly intense. Although Lin Yun was at a slight disadvantage without using his War God Transformation, Tang Wushuang couldn’t find a way to defeat him for the time being.

There were so many realms separating the two of them, including the massive gap between the Primordial Ocean Realm and the Celestial Spirit Realm. For Lin Yun to hold his own against Tang Wushuang without being defeated—and without even using his War God Transformation—what did that say about him?

”Tang Wushuang, I don’t know how you broke through to the Celestial Spirit Realm, but this power was never truly yours. Your Mental Realm can’t possibly keep up with your Cultivation’s growth. If this continues, you are walking a path to certain death,” Lin Yun said calmly, even as he fought fiercely against Tang Wushuang.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Tang Wushuang, who was already burning with rage, roared, ”Lin Yun, spare me your lecture! I will cut you down today, without fail!”

Tang Wushuang was beyond saving. He had gone completely astray on his path of Martial Arts. Where in the world could one gain something for nothing? If Spirit Medicine alone could turn people into Demon Fiends, the world would be crawling with them.

”In that case, I’ll just have to show you how foolish you truly are,” Lin Yun said. He then drew his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. With a single thrust, he knocked Tang Wushuang back, then immediately began to channel power for Dual Dragon World Destruction.

After channeling for a few moments, two Dragon Shadows burst forth from the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear and shot straight toward Tang Wushuang, their resounding roars shaking the heavens.

Without the War God Transformation, this Dual Dragon World Destruction was not as powerful as it would be with the enhancement, but its might was still not to be underestimated. Facing the assault of the Dragon Shadows, Tang Wushuang unleashed a succession of Celestial Eagle Claws.

The claws flew toward the Dragon Shadows one after another, but they were no match for the attack. The Dragon Shadows tore through them effortlessly, shattering seven or eight of the claws before slamming directly into Tang Wushuang.

A massive explosion erupted, and Tang Wushuang’s figure was engulfed by the Dragon Shadows.

Watching Tang Wushuang get swallowed by the Dragon Shadows, Lin Yun’s expression showed no hint of joy. Tang Wushuang was at the Minor Achievement in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Even if his Combat Power was low, he couldn’t possibly be defeated by a single Dual Dragon World Destruction.

Sure enough, after about ten seconds, the two Dragon Shadows burst apart from the inside. Tang Wushuang’s figure reappeared, only now he was drenched in blood, his face twisted into a ferocious, terrifying expression.

A dense, bloody aura radiated from his body—an aura completely different from Tang Wushuang’s original one. Lin Yun, of course, sensed this drastic change.

If the Tang Wushuang from moments ago was merely unlike his former self, then the man standing there now was no longer himself at all.

The side effects of the Black Heaven Blood Pill had fully erupted. Tang Wushuang’s mind was gradually being corroded. Before long, he would turn into a monster that knew only slaughter.

Having lost all human reason, Tang Wushuang no longer even recognized Lin Yun. His only thought was to kill everything that appeared before him. That was his sole, driving impulse now.

”Die... Kill, kill, die, die...” he muttered incoherently. Tang Wushuang grinned, a mixture of blood and saliva drooling from his mouth. He looked as if he had already become a monster.

The transformation wasn’t over. Not only was his expression savage, but Tang Wushuang’s fingernails were slowly lengthening. His back hunched over, his mind consumed by nothing but thoughts of blood and slaughter.

Watching Tang Wushuang transform bit by bit, Lin Yun muttered, ’Has his mind been completely devoured?’

Tang Wushuang’s transformation naturally caught the attention of Wei Yunhang and the three others fighting not far away. A smile touched the lips of both Song Tianyang and Lin Jianhong. They were both pleased to see Tang Wushuang in this state—especially Lin Jianhong.

Sensing this change, the ever-composed Xi Zijin shouted to Lin Yun, ”Strike now and kill him! The side effects of the Black Heaven Blood Pill are devouring his mind! This is the best chance! Once his sanity is completely gone, he’ll turn into a true monster!”

Hearing Xi Zijin’s words, Lin Yun knew this was the best opportunity. As soon as she spoke, Lin Yun was already charging, unleashing his Thunderfire Bombardment.

Transforming into a torrent of Flame and lightning, Lin Yun surged toward Tang Wushuang. However, he was a step too late.

Just as the Thunderfire Bombardment was about to strike Tang Wushuang, his sanity was completely consumed. The frenzied power and bloodlust created by the Black Heaven Blood Pill erupted in full force.

He grabbed ahold of the Thunderfire Bombardment with both hands, seemingly oblivious to the pain. His arms were burned black by the flames and lightning, yet Tang Wushuang refused to let go.

”Kill! Kill! Kill!” Chanting only the word ”kill,” Tang Wushuang finally let out a deafening roar. ”KILL!”

With sheer brute force, Tang Wushuang crushed Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment. At the same time, his two charred hands clamped down hard on Lin Yun’s shoulders.

His sharp nails dug deep into Lin Yun’s flesh, and the searing pain made Lin Yun grit his teeth.

He kicked repeatedly at Tang Wushuang’s abdomen, but the man showed no reaction at all. His grip on Lin Yun’s shoulders didn’t loosen in the slightest.

With his mind consumed, Tang Wushuang could no longer be considered a person. He knew only slaughter and blood. He felt no pain, had no emotions, and could not think—he could only kill.

’I have to risk it!’ Lin Yun thought with a low grunt. With his arms pinned by Tang Wushuang, leaving him completely immobilized, his only option was to unleash the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool.

In an instant, a Blood Pool over a hundred square meters in size materialized in the sky. Caught within it, Tang Wushuang’s feet began to sink into the pool, and his Elemental Power was steadily drained away.

Acting on pure instinct, Tang Wushuang retreated out of the Blood Pool. Lin Yun dispelled the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool as well. After all, its consumption was too great for him to sustain unless he was certain of landing a killing blow.

”Kill, kill, kill...” Having escaped the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool, Tang Wushuang glared at Lin Yun with a savage expression. His eyes were utterly vacant, no longer the eyes of a human being.

Seeing Tang Wushuang in this state, Lin Yun didn’t know what to think. This was once Tang Wushuang, the genius of Yanhuang Country who looked down upon everyone. Who could have imagined he would end up like this?

’He has no mind, no thoughts. He knows nothing and has forgotten everything. Was this empty existence truly the result Tang Wushuang had wanted?’

A generational genius had become a monster that knew only slaughter. Lin Yun sighed inwardly. Although they were mortal enemies, each bent on killing the other, at this moment, Lin Yun felt a flicker of pity for Tang Wushuang.

’This existence is worse than death. Perhaps it would be better to be dead and done with it. At least he wouldn’t have to endure any more torment or be scorned by the rest of the world.’
