Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 888: Chapter 682: Lost Soul

The tenth round of the Apostle Debut has passed, and Lin Feng has won ten consecutive matches. According to the debut’s rules, he officially becomes the thirteenth Celestial King of the Pure Land.

From this moment on, the twelve Celestial Kings of the Pure Land will become the Thirteen Celestial Kings!

”I’ll give up on this eleventh round.”

The Witch Celestial King said.

His entire body was covered by a loose black robe, and even so, he still appeared bulky.

For the Apostle Debut, there are eleven matches in total, and he’s the only one left who hasn’t posed a question.

He also doesn’t plan to pose one.

He decided to privately give Lin Feng a gift, both as an eleventh round reward and as a congratulatory gift for Lin Feng becoming a Celestial King.

The other Celestial Kings had no objections to this.

Lin Feng has already become a Celestial King, and the result of the eleventh round won’t affect the outcome.

The Witch Celestial King’s decision to forgo was wise.

Lin Feng is not an Emperor, but he’s not someone ordinary Upper Rank Spirit Kings can defeat either. Unless an Apostle with Emperor Level power is sent, the odds of winning are low.

If the difficulty of the assessment increases, naturally the reward must also be elevated to a higher level.

The stakes are too high.

Since it doesn’t affect the outcome, there’s no need for a grand gamble.

The Apostle Debut has ended, but the people present still haven’t quite reacted.

Is it over?

Lin Feng has become a Celestial King just like that?

After a brief silence, an earth-shattering cheer and scream burst from the stands, their frenzied voices seemingly reaching the sky.

”Celestial King Hua!”

”Celestial King Hua!”

”Celestial King Hua!”

Hoarse shouts echoed throughout the Suspended City, as people continually chanted ”Celestial King Hua!”.

At this time, Lin Feng became the focal point of the entire arena, seen as ascending in a single step, yet his expression remained calm, without excitement or thrill.

Because the first person to call him: ”Celestial King Hua” is already dead.

”Hiss...”

A deflating sound continued to emerge, and amidst the steaming heat, the magma giant lying face-up, like a mountain, melted and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A pungent smell of blood wafted through the air.

In just two minutes, the over twenty-meter-tall magma giant had vanished, leaving only a human figure.

The figure was entirely naked, without hair, with severely corroded skin, looking shocking and indistinguishable from his original appearance, yet discerning that he was a burly man, with most of his chest missing and heart gone.

The exclamations from the audience continued to rise, witnessing a Demon Beast transforming into a human, causing a tremendous impact.

”As expected...”

Lin Feng hovered in mid-air looking down, witnessing it all, and his guess was not wrong.

In theory, if a Demon Spirit Master is killed in a state of Demon Possession or Demon Transformation, their corpse should maintain a certain degree of Demonization, yet the man’s body did not exhibit Beastification despite being a bloody mess.

This magma giant was not a Demon Beast, but a collectible of the Beast Celestial King.

”You can go back now.”

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Feng flapped his Spiritual Power Wings and appeared beside Sha Mi.

This time, he didn’t step on Sha Mi’s head; the battle was over, and getting blackmailed by Sha Mi again wouldn’t be fun.

Sha Mi at the moment hadn’t stopped the sand barrage but always failed to break through the Immortal Celestial King’s defensive light curtain.

Of course, Sha Mi wasn’t exerting full power.

Sha Mi also knew that these humans present were very dangerous.

Not just simply because they were all Emperors.

Even at its peak, it might not be able to kill the opponent, now in a state sealed by a Spirit Medium, it could only ensure self-preservation.

Moreover, there was more than one such figure, there were eleven in total.

Their gaze upon it held no fear, except for some apprehension, it was curiosity.

If not for the presence of the Spirit Medium, they probably couldn’t wait to take action against it.

For Celestial Chart Demon Beasts, there was no shortage of interested parties.

”Kid, where’s my Essence of Life?” Sha Mi stopped its attack and asked with dissatisfaction.

Having finished the task without receiving the appearance fee, it wouldn’t leave obediently.

Knowing Lin Feng wouldn’t and dared not default, it still wanted to consume the Essence of Life before leaving.

Lin Feng flipped his left hand, and with the tail ring’s gleam flashing, two oval, 500 ml capacity crystal bottles appeared in his hand.

Lin Feng opened the bottle cap, Sha Mi opened its mouth wide, swallowed the Essence of Life, and had no intention to chat, its form transformed into drifting sands towards Hong Yi’s chest.

And after Sha Mi vanished, Hong Yi slowly opened her eyes.

Lin Feng placed his right hand on Hong Yi’s back, spiritual power surged, preventing her from falling to the ground.

”Brother Feng, how’s the situation?”

Hong Yi initially looked dazed but quickly regained her senses and hurriedly inquired.

She hadn’t forgotten that Lin Feng said if he became a Celestial King, she could become his Apostle.

Becoming Brother Feng’s Apostle meant she was safe and wouldn’t have to worry about others coveting the Sha Mi within her.

Hong Yi now noticed the cheering crowd below, eyes filled with surprise; without Lin Feng’s response, she already understood.

”Succeeded.”

Lin Feng said with a slight smile, and Hong Yi also smiled.

Lin Feng’s gaze shifted, landing on the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon above the head of the Beast Celestial King.

This Earth Chart Demon Beast is his trophy.

The Evil Karmic Demon Dragon appeared more excited than Lin Feng; if it were not still under the control of the Beast Celestial King, it might have already leapt into Lin Feng’s embrace.

”Can’t bear to part with it?”

Seeing the Beast Celestial King hesitant to act, the Celestial King Hai directly asked.

Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, ranked 15th on the Earth Chart.

Such high-level Demon Beasts are almost never seen.

An adult Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s power is far above ordinary Emperors.

This collection piece of the Beast Celestial King was transformed by a Demon Spirit Master, undoubtedly less powerful than a true Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, but its combat strength surpasses that of an ordinary Upper Rank Spirit King.

Although the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s power is far inferior to the Magma Giant, as a mount, its appearance is extremely imposing, it is the Beast Celestial King’s favorite, without a doubt, otherwise, he wouldn’t carry it with him.

Faced with the Celestial King Hai’s inquiry, which could also be seen as ridicule, the Beast Celestial King’s expression couldn’t remain calm, appearing somewhat unpleasant.

Even though the Magma Giant had just died, he didn’t feel as much heartache.

This Evil Karmic Demon Dragon is indeed his favorite! While not the strongest, it is his highest-ranked and most prized collection.

Concerning his apostle, Sugita Onijiro’s strength, the Beast Celestial King was very confident.

Even if Lin Feng hid his strength, and Sugita Onijiro couldn’t win against Lin Feng, he had other tricks up his sleeve.

That Emperor Level Magma Giant was definitely not something Lin Feng could handle.

In his view, the tenth trial was a guaranteed win with no chance of failure.

So he chose the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon as the reward for the tenth trial.

This is also a gamble.

What he never expected was that Lin Feng could summon Sha Mi.

If he had known beforehand, he absolutely wouldn’t have used the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon as a reward.

Faced with Lin Feng and the gazes of many Celestial Kings, the Beast Celestial King remained motionless.

He truly couldn’t bear to part with it.

But the words had already been spoken; he could not go back on them. Lin Feng surely wouldn’t give him a chance to do so.

Such a rare and powerful mount is an asset to anyone.

Lin Feng has yet to become an Emperor; with such support, he’s even less likely to give it up.

”Are you happy?”

The Beast Celestial King looked up at the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, whose lantern-sized dark eyes couldn’t hide its excitement and joy, seeing this, his expression turned even grimmer.

Faced with the Beast Celestial King’s inquiry, the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s body trembled, and the excitement in its eyes instantly transformed into fear.

”Remember to remove your Soul Mark.”

The Immortal Celestial King reminded.

His relationship with the Beast Celestial King wasn’t good; seeing the other suffer a loss made him happy.

The Beast Celestial King didn’t reply, only kept gazing at the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, his eyes shifting as if contemplating something.

”Go find your new master then.”

The Beast Celestial King was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Just as the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s gaze hesitated, hovering toward Lin Feng’s direction, the Beast Celestial King’s gaze grew cold, and in the next moment, the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon froze mid-air, the joy and excitement in its eyes instantly turning into pain.

The Evil Karmic Demon Dragon writhed wildly in the air, issuing a mournful and painful dragon cry from its mouth.

The Kings all looked at the Beast Celestial King, their eyes filled with unconcealed mockery and disdain.

The Beast Celestial King was obviously unwilling to simply hand over his treasured mount to Lin Feng and began to renege.

”Boom!” A loud and clear explosion echoed.

Golden sand sprayed, and the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon fell heavily to the ground, its once-humanlike eyes turning lifeless and dull, losing their brilliance.

”I never misjudged you; you really can’t take a loss!”

The Celestial King Hai sneered, not surprised by this scene.

The Beast Celestial King said blandly, ”Didn’t I already give the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon to him?”

He naturally couldn’t hand over the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon intact to Lin Feng, not just because he couldn’t bear it, but also because he was worried that the secret of ’Human-Beast Transformation’ might be exposed.

The Evil Karmic Demon Dragon knows a lot; if it reveals anything to Lin Feng, there’s indeed a chance that Lin Feng could research it.

Then, there’s a possibility of finding flaws in his other collection pieces.

Even though the possibility is slim, he needed to completely eliminate such trouble.

The fallen Evil Karmic Demon Dragon appeared to no longer be in pain, simply lying motionless on the sandy ground.

Lin Feng flapped his Spiritual Power Wings, descended from the sky beside it, gently touched the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s head with his right hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

Soon, Lin Feng opened his eyes again, a trace of regret flickering within them.

”The soul has disappeared; the only spiritual fluctuation in the body comes from the abdomen, very weak, probably from the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s Demon Spirit.”

At this moment, the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s condition was akin to being in a vegetative state, or even worse than that.

Vegetative people can still think, but the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon couldn’t even think, losing its soul meant it was essentially dead, its physical being soon losing all vitality.

Soon, the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon would corrode like the Magma Giant, reverting to its human shape.

Lin Feng looked at the Beast Celestial King, his gaze full of anger and ridicule.

The Evil Karmic Demon Dragon was actually not a Demon Beast but transformed by a Demon Spirit Master, leaving nothing behind after death.

In other words, he received nothing as the reward for the tenth trial.

Just as Lin Feng was filled with anger and helplessness, a menacing horse’s head suddenly emerged from his chest, dense black scales covering it, a spiral-shaped horn at the center of its forehead, eyes as black as obsidian, glowing bright and spirited. The horse’s body soon followed, its long mane flowing in the wind, extremely graceful, pitch-black scales covering its body, with large wings also covered in scales snug against its sides, not yet unfurled.

This was a fully black, extraordinarily impressive Dragon Foal, it hadn’t yet spread its Dragon Wings, but it was already overwhelmingly cool.

The Flying Dragon Steed had just formed and then transformed into an ephemeral Star Mist, merging into the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon’s body...
