730 Demon God Sculpture
“Fortunately, the awakening depth is only 30%. The consumption is not huge.”
Lin Qiye secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his awakening progress was still at 0.7%.
When he raised his head again, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at the ox-headed demon.
The ox-headed demon’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Lin Qiye’s gaze. He subconsciously got into a defensive stance.
However, Lin Qiye’s speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of his sight.
He felt his vision blur, and a terrifying pressure appeared above his head.
“How is this possible?!”
The ox-headed demon was stunned, and he raised his hand to block.
However, his reaction was still a step too late. Lin Qiye waved his sharp claws and stabbed them into his head.
With a cracking sound, the ox-headed demon’s head was split open on the spot like a piece of tofu.
Lin Qiye’s body rushed into his brain and went straight in until he reached his abdomen. Then, he tore out from the demon’s stomach.
When Lin Qiye left his body, he pulled out a long spine with black worms that looked like earthworms. They attacked Lin Qiye continuously.
That was the ox-headed demon’s origin.
Hissing sounds kept coming out of the black worm’s mouth, and every sound wave made people’s minds tremble, going into a trance.
Wei Tong and the others were caught off guard a hundred thousand meters away. Their faces twisted with pain as they clutched their heads and almost fell from the sky.
“It’s the soul-suppressing demonic sound! Quickly focus and calm down. Guard your mind!”
Wei Tong protected Captain Zhou and a few other members with relatively lower cultivations as she reminded them.
The humans hurriedly did as they were told. They looked in the direction of the battlefield, their eyes filled with fear.
This place was more than 100,000 meters away from the center of the battle. Even so, they had almost lost their minds and were controlled by the demonic sound.
They couldn’t imagine what damage Lin Qiye, at the center of the demonic sound’s explosion, would have to suffer.
At this moment, Lin Qiye only frowned when he heard the sharp whistling in his ears. He couldn’t help but pull out the ox-headed demon’s spine completely.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but curse in a low voice. “Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you a pig getting slaughtered?”
With a plop, the spine that flew out sprayed a rain of black blood.
A swarm of worms attacked Lin Qiye’s face at lightning speed, but the latter was not afraid. He opened his mouth and spat out a black miasma.
The moment they touched the black miasma, the worms that are several meters thick instantly started to melt rapidly like marshmallows touching the water.
They were then absorbed and blended into the miasma.
“This is impossible! Who the hell are you?”
The ox-headed demon’s terrified voice rang out from within the miasma.
He couldn’t understand why Lin Qiye’s demonic power was purer than his!
Was he a spy from the same race?
The answer was obviously no.
The goal of their operation was to assimilate Lin Qiye.
If he was already a member of the demon race, would the Supreme still order them to deal with Lin Qiye?
The ox-headed demon had too many questions in its mind. It was a pity that he would never find out the answers.
Lin Qiye’s miasma was even more corrosive than the black ocean he had created.
At this moment, the trace of supreme power he controlled had become a burden to him.
For ordinary Immortal Realm experts, their origin was scattered all over their bodies. As long as enough of it was left, they could always be reborn.
However, the ox-headed demon had mastered a trace of supreme power, and his origin was wholly attached to it.
It made him even more powerful, but at the same time, his life was also bound by the supreme power.
Lin Qiye found his weakness through Vision and killed him in one blow, not giving him any room to resist.
The black miasma wasn’t an ordinary demonic energy. It was a secret technique performed with the help of demonic energy – Devour Sky.
Lin Qiye’s lips curled slightly as he felt the ox-headed demon’s life force decline rapidly.
He wasn’t happy because he had killed the ox-headed demon, but because of Devour Sky’s effects.
“This secret art is too easy to use! It replenished all the energy that I used up instantly!”
Devour Sky could devour all things to replenish one’s energy.
Of course, it was only in theory. If Lin Qiye really wanted to reach that step, he had to raise Devour Sky’s level first.
Devour Sky was still at its lowest level, and it couldn’t devour the power of an expert like the ox-headed demon.
However, Lin Qiye was currently in an awakened state, so he had the same power as the sky-devouring demon clan.
In addition, Devour Sky was the innate secret technique of the sky-devouring demon clan. With the support of a compatible power, it could effortlessly reach the strength of the sky-devouring Demon King.
However, this strength was only effective at the beginning of the awakening state. Once the awakening state was removed, Devour Sky’s level would return to normal.
A moment later, the ox-headed demon’s life force had disappeared.
Lin Qiye couldn’t help but burp because he had absorbed too much energy.
“It’s good the absorbed energy will be transformed into a power that suits me. Otherwise, I would have been assimilated directly after absorbing so much demonic power.”
He gradually recovered from the state of awakening.
Lin Qiye’s body slowly recovered, but in the end, he still retained a trace of his demonic appearance.
The pupil of his right eye had vertical lines like the eye of a venomous snake.
There were still some scales on his neck and wrists. His skin was slightly pale. He was ten centimeters taller than usual.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly as he sensed his condition.
“It seems that the demonic power’s influence is not small. I must get rid of the remaining energy as soon as possible.”
After understanding his body, Lin Qiye turned his attention to the corpse of the ox-headed demon.
The value of a demon corpse that had touched the power of a Supreme was incalculable.
It was more than enough to replace the losses he had suffered in dealing with the demons.
However, Lin Qiye didn’t intend to hand over the corpse to any faction.
It was also useful to him.
In the future, he would definitely need many high-level demon corpses when researching high-end technology. There would never be enough.
He landed in the black ocean that was constantly evaporating.
Lin Qiye picked the corpses along the way, and from the ox-headed demon’s body, he peeled off some of the more valuable items.
As for the ox-headed demon that had evolved, it had been absorbed into the Life Lantern Gem, not leaving behind a single piece of fur.
“Oh? This is…”
Just as Lin Qiye was putting away the ox-headed demon’s corpse, a small object fell from the sky.
He stretched out his hand and beckoned, and that thing quickly flew towards him.
When it landed in his hand, Lin Qiye realized it was a Demon God Sculpture!
The moment he held the statue, Lin Qiye immediately felt something stirring in his body. It was as if it wanted to break through his blood vessels and merge with the statue.
“F*ck!”
Lin Qiye was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that he quickly threw it away.
Even when the sculpture fell into the ox-headed demon’s body, he did not dare to pick it up again.
The evil nature of the Demon God Sculpture was no worse than the Demon King’s Heart.
Lin Qiye’s understanding of it was limited to its ability to be used as a teleportation tool for demons and its terrifying infection ability.
The former seemed to require a demonic sacrifice, while the latter could infect different people.
Some demonic sculptures could only affect cultivators below the Incarnation Realm, while some could affect anything below the Supreme Realm.
For example, the one he sealed and placed in the Life Lantern Gem.
This new Demon God Sculpture was probably not much different from the one he had sealed.
“This thing is too dangerous. I have to think of a way to deal with it.”
Lin Qiye thought as he stared at where the Demon God Sculpture had landed.
His power was temporarily unable to deal with items like the Demon God Sculpture, but now he had returned to the main world.
The methods of the major organizations in the main world were much more resourceful than his, so handing it to them might be a good way to deal with it.
As he thought about this, Lin Qiye took out the power of faith crystal and prepared to seal the Demon God Sculpture in front of him again.
At the same time, Wei Tong and the others in the distance, who had become even more nervous because of the ox-headed demon’s death, were all overjoyed at this moment and looked behind them.
