Chapter 1468: Lan Tiansheng: I am the Demon King, suppressing all

"Lan Tiansheng, do you really want to exterminate me completely?" Xu Kongwang stared with resentful poison, he wanted to resist, but the poison inside his body spread rapidly, that poison was too fierce, surpassing any poison he had seen before.

Xu Kongwang knew, this was the killing move Lan Tiansheng had prepared for him, a great killing move.

This time, he cannot escape the calamity.

"Xu Kongwang, if you were me, would you let me go?" Lan Tiansheng retorted.

Xu Kongwang fell silent.

Lan Tiansheng continued to sneer: "Look, even you don't want to let me go, so how could I let you go?"

"Your time of death has come, no need to struggle, it's useless, Xu Kongwang, rest in peace and die."

The poison continued to spread, invading his body, invading his demon soul, continue waiting, wait a little longer, Xu Kongwang will die.

He doesn't need to act; he will die naturally anyway. Lan Tiansheng is not in a hurry now, nor does he want to take risks, in case Xu Kongwang, like the Grand Elder of Pasture Dragon Land, self-destructs before death, dragging him down together, Lan Tiansheng wouldn't know how to face that.

He is very cautious, he would never let himself fall into danger.

He gives no chance, Lan Tiansheng does not wish to end up dead and his Dao extinguished; this scheme, he is the victor, why rush?

"Cough cough cough, Lan Tiansheng, I never expected to finally fall into your hands, how ridiculous, how ridiculous."

He gave a bitter smile, unable to believe all this, he could never have imagined he would die at the hands of his own subordinate, be killed by Lan Tiansheng; he looked at Lan Tiansheng and asked: "Lan Tiansheng, if the Dharma Protector hadn't sent you to die back then, would you not have?"

Lan Tiansheng said nothing, waved his hand: "Xu Kongwang, everything has already happened, there are no 'ifs', we cannot return to the past; even if you hadn't done that, I would still kill you."

Back then, he was obstructed by Xu Kongwang, causing his breakthrough to fail, his advancement to fail—a fatal flaw. Over the years, he tried every way but could not repair his bloodline, let alone attempt another advancement.

Xu Kongwang gave him only harm and suspicion, never trusted him; Lan Tiansheng had wanted to kill him long ago, but back then his strength was insufficient.

During that period, every day he worried about being killed; Xu Kongwang was too harsh on his own people, at the slightest sign of trouble he would immediately devour them.

In contrast, after following Qinglong Daoren, rewards and punishments were clear; if he did well, he got elixirs and various other things.

If he did poorly, they wouldn't say they'd kill him; moreover, Qinglong Daoren relied entirely on voluntarism—for example, this mission was his own choice, not arranged by Qinglong Daoren; he could completely choose another, safer way: staying on Longshe Shan to become a diligent Dharma Protector, guarding Longshe Shan's safety.

He didn't do that; he needed to prove his worth and also take revenge.

"Any last words?" Lan Tiansheng was still buying time, waiting for the poison to fully erupt.

This Xu Kongwang must not be taken lightly; one must be extremely cautious, as long as he lives Lan Tiansheng cannot approach; one must ensure this person dies and his Dao is extinguished before drawing near.

They are the same kind of people, naturally they would know each other's thoughts.

Xu Kongwang took a deep breath, plopped onto the ground, he could no longer support himself; the poison began to blacken his body, veins bulged, his five viscera and six bowels and demon soul were invaded by the poison, soon…… to be completely contaminated.

"Lan Tiansheng, you're truly good."

Xu Kongwang stared fixedly at Lan Tiansheng, only then realizing this person had already advanced to the Dao Realm, not just a recent advancement, but had directly soared to the Fifth Heaven of the Seek Dao Realm, his cultivation breakthrough was rapid, such breakthrough speed is terrifying.

Moreover, he had not yet completed his bloodline transformation, yet his cultivation had also advanced.

Surely he had encountered some opportunity; Xu Kongwang thought of a person, only that place, only that person, could achieve this.

"Have you become his person?"

Lan Tiansheng did not answer, he gazed calmly at Xu Kongwang.

"I see, no wonder you've grown so strong; that person, indeed not ordinary." Xu Kongwang gave a bitter smile: "I lost this time without injustice."

"Never mind, Lan Tiansheng, eat me; you've always wanted to devour me, yet you've never completed your own transformation, right?"

"Come on, let this Dharma Protector see if you have the guts to devour this Dharma Protector."

He lay down, resigned to his fate.

After scheming for so many years, each time escaping death's grasp, this time perhaps there is no hope.

He cannot escape; he must die.

Lan Tiansheng remained unmoved, quietly observing; he knew Xu Kongwang at this moment was the most dangerous, absolutely cannot be tricked.

Just waiting a while, it won't affect anything.

After a quarter hour.

Xu Kongwang did not wait for Lan Tiansheng to act; this person was watching a show, impossible to approach, not giving him a chance to act; Xu Kongwang knew Lan Tiansheng could not act, nor would he approach.

This person knows himself well; they are the same kind of people, naturally they know what the other wants to do.

"Hey, you're still so timid, I'm like this, and you still dare not make a move?"

"Lan Tiansheng, being timid and fearful of trouble, you cannot accomplish anything; summon your courage, devour this Dharma Protector, let this Dharma Protector merge with you, becoming one."

Xu Kongwang provoked Lan Tiansheng, urging him to act.

Lan Tiansheng lifted his foot, stamped the ground; on the ground where Xu Kongwang stood, Blue Heart Grass began to spread, in an instant reaching his location, then wrapping his body; these Blue Heart Grass took root in Xu Kongwang's body, drawing out everything from him.

The strong poison caused the Blue Heart Grass to wither, then it continued to regenerate, endlessly repeating this process.

The blood‑flesh energy transmitted back by the Blue Heart Grass all entered Lan Tiansheng's body, after layer upon layer of filtration, the energy that finally entered his body was pure energy; the cost was merely the withering and death of these Blue Heart Grass.

Lan Tiansheng didn't care; Blue Heart Grass, he has plenty, he can always cultivate another batch.

"Lan Tiansheng, you……"

Xu Kongwang never expected this person not to act directly, but to use this method.

He would rather expend some energy to guarantee his safety, and his scheme, at this moment, was shattered.

"Hahaha, Lan Tiansheng, indeed the one who understands this Dharma Protector best is you; this time, this Dharma Protector has been utterly defeated."

"You've won, Lan Tiansheng, I hope you can keep living."

"Don't die too early."

"This Dharma Protector is waiting for you below."

He was very unwilling, but what could he do?

Lan Tiansheng's approach left him utterly helpless; all his counter‑kills were useless at this moment.

Blue Heart Grass continuously drew out, Xu Kongwang's body quickly withered; everything about him was drawn out, devoured.

His body was completely covered and wrapped by Blue Heart Grass, his figure no longer visible.

And Lan Tiansheng's body, at this moment, also merged into it.

And completely merged with the body of the Void Forget, this process seemed slow, but actually it was fast, less than half a quarter hour, completed the devouring and merging, Lan Tiansheng's body also underwent changes, his whole body began to turn deep blue, rather than the black of the toxin.

His bloodline also began to break through at this moment.

Cultivation, strength, or bloodline, or everything, all were changing.

Pop.

That layer of shackles broke through.

He completed the Advancement of his bloodline.

From then on, he was the Demon King.
