Chapter 500

Ye Lin didn't want to wade into this muddy water. With his current strength, provoking that new Demon Venerable was just asking for trouble.

He didn't care how this old Demon Venerable died. What Ye Lin cared about was, what exactly was the identity of that new Demon Venerable?

"I understand."

The Soul-Devouring Empress nodded. Being able to become an Empress of a race, she was naturally not a fool.

After destroying the old Demon Venerable's corpse, Ye Lin was about to leave, but the Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly called him.

"Ye Lin, wait a moment, there is something on that stone platform!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress walked up, slowly squatted down, and carefully observed the complex and mysterious patterns on the stone platform.

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Ye Lin also squatted down.

"On this stone platform, it seems something is recorded."

The Soul-Devouring Empress cut her fair palm and pressed her hand on the stone platform.

The purple demonic blood was crazily absorbed by the stone platform. As more and more demonic blood was absorbed, the patterns on the stone platform began to glow, floating up and forming demonic texts one by one.

"Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art!"

As the Soul-Devouring Empress muttered, Ye Lin's eyes lit up instantly.

He remembered the strange man's incredibly tough body just now, every inch of which was comparable to a divine artifact, directly comparable to himself after dragon transformation.

So that old guy was practicing this thing?

"Quick, quick, quick, how to practice this thing, keep reading." Ye Lin urged.

The Soul-Devouring Empress nodded and began to translate those demonic texts to Ye Lin bit by bit.

When the Soul-Devouring Empress finished translating, Ye Lin also understood what this Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art was about. This was the body-refining technique left by the old Demon Venerable.

Its principle relied on the long lifespan of the Demon Clan, progressing step by step, constantly inducing demonic Qi to pour into the flesh and blood, and through destruction and reorganization, integrating demonic Qi into the flesh and blood bit by bit.

As time passed, the physical body would become more and more powerful, even comparable to a divine artifact.

Practicing the Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art was not difficult; the difficulty was that it took a very long time.

Practicing for ten years and not yet entering the door, practicing for a hundred years and just passing the running-in period, practicing for five hundred years and just having small success.

And this thing couldn't be fast. If practiced too quickly, the demonic Qi introduced into the body would cause irreversible damage to the body, instead damaging the body.

However, for Ye Lin, this was naturally not a problem.

Just a body, what's the use? Give it!

Ye Lin immediately followed the method recorded in the Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art and began to induce demonic Qi into his body.

As demonic Qi entered his body, Ye Lin's body was instantly torn apart, bloody and dripping with blood.

But Ye Lin not only didn't mean to stop, but instead induced demonic Qi even more vigorously.

Soon, the surrounding demonic Qi formed a small vortex, constantly drilling into his body.

Ye Lin's body simply couldn't withstand so much demonic Qi, and his flesh and blood were constantly withering and annihilating.

But at this time, a trace of the Law of Immortality in Ye Lin's body also began to exert its power. The flesh and blood destroyed by demonic Qi began to regenerate constantly and greedily devoured the demonic Qi.

As time passed, the regeneration speed of flesh and blood and the destruction speed of demonic Qi reached a perfect balance.

Ye Lin no longer looked like a human, becoming a bloody meatball, constantly squirming.

The Soul-Devouring Empress was already stunned.

She felt that Ye Lin was more like a demon head than her, a Demon Empress......

This guy's actions were too rebellious.

Ye Lin practiced this Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art for half a month.

After squirming in the state of a meatball for half a month, Ye Lin restored his human form.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue practicing, but that the surrounding demonic Qi had been completely sucked dry by him.

Ye Lin clenched his fist slightly, and a terrifying power surged from his limbs and bones toward his fist.

In just half a month, he clearly felt that his physical body was at least twice as strong as before.

If there was enough demonic Qi, he could even make his physical strength catch up to that strange man in a short time.

Accompanied by a dragon roar, Ye Lin performed dragon transformation again, and a violent power spread out, as if a real giant dragon was preparing to soar into the sky.

"Sure enough!"

There was surprise in Ye Lin's eyes. Dragon transformation was equivalent to directly magnifying his physical strength proportionally. The higher the physical strength of his main body, the more terrifying the power of dragon transformation would be!

Now, even if he only fused one elemental force, he could face that strange man head-on.

The Soul-Devouring Empress also tried to practice the Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art during this half month, but her progress was much slower than Ye Lin's.

After all, she couldn't mindlessly absorb demonic Qi like Ye Lin without regard for body damage.

"Mrs. Empress, where in the Demon Realm is the demonic Qi most concentrated?"

Having tasted the sweetness brought by the Demonic Steel Soul-Forging Art, Ye Lin couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course it's the Demon Dragon Pool, which is also the place for demonic Qi penetration."

A hint of worry appeared in the Soul-Devouring Empress's eyes.

"But the Demon Dragon Pool is located in the Demon Venerable Hall. Going there is very likely to run into the Demon Venerable. Are you sure that Corpse-Underworld Hidden Clothing of yours can deceive the Demon Venerable?"

"Hiss......"

Ye Lin was also in a bit of a dilemma. He really wasn't sure about this. After all, there were too few records of the Divine Domain Realm above the Lie Yang Realm.

No one knew how terrifying the real Divine Domain Realm was. The strongest person in the Human Clan had only condensed the prototype of the Divine Domain.

"Then... wouldn't it be fine to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Ye Lin quickly came up with an idea.

"You want to lure the Demon Venerable away? And then enter the Demon Dragon Pool?" The Soul-Devouring Empress was surprised.

"That's right."

Ye Lin nodded.

"But this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Let's go, let's go back first!"

That mysterious Demon Venerable's strength was definitely terrifying beyond measure. Wanting to lure this guy away from the mountain was definitely not a simple matter.

"Wait a minute, there's a problem!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly paused.

"Can the ancestral land of my Soul-Devouring Demon Clan be returned to us?"

She suddenly remembered that the ancestral land of the Soul-Devouring Demon Clan was still occupied by the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan.

"Hey, just this matter? Don't talk about the ancestral land, packing up the entire Earth-Spirit Demon Clan and giving it to you is fine."

Ye Lin waved his hand indifferently. His purpose for sneaking into the Demon Realm was to increase the concentration of dragon blood and improve his strength, not to really be a Demon Empress.

Subduing the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan was only because leading the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan to attack was considered justified, and the clansmen of the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan could help him do some chores and clean up the battlefield.

Moreover, the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan was so loyal to him only because they didn't know his true identity was a human and treated him as the real Soul-Devouring Empress.

Feelings that started with deception could not have a good result.

Compared with the Earth-Spirit Demon Clan, the Soul-Devouring Empress was naturally more important. After all, he and the Soul-Devouring Empress had a relationship of...
