Chapter 500

Ye Lin didn't want to wade into these muddy waters; with his current strength, provoking that new Demon Venerable was just asking for trouble.

He didn't care how the 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 corpse of the old Demon Venerable, Ye Lin was about to leave, but the Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly stopped him.

"Ye Lin, wait a minute, there's 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.

"This stone platform seems to record something."

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 demonic blood was absorbed, the patterns on the stone platform began to light up, floating up and forming demonic texts one by one.

"Demonic Gang Tempering Soul Art!"

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

He remembered the incredibly tough body of the strange man 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 stuff?

"Quick, quick, quick, how to practice this stuff, 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 Gang Tempering Soul Art was; this was the body-tempering technique left behind by the old Demon Venerable.

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

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

Practicing the Demonic Gang Tempering Soul Art was not difficult; the difficulty was that the time required was very long.

Practicing for ten years without getting started, practicing for a hundred years just past the running-in period, practicing for five hundred years just getting a small success.

And this stuff 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, this was naturally not a problem for Ye Lin.

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

Ye Lin immediately began to induce demonic Qi into his body according to the method recorded in the Demonic Gang Tempering Soul Art.

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

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 flesh and blood constantly withered and annihilated.

But at this time, a wisp of the Undying Law in Ye Lin's body also began to exert force; the flesh and blood destroyed by demonic Qi began to regenerate constantly and greedily swallowed 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 had a human shape, becoming a ball of flesh and blood, constantly squirming.

The Soul-Devouring Empress was already stunned.

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

This guy's actions and operations were too rebellious.

Ye Lin practiced this Demonic Gang Tempering Soul Art for half a month.

After squirming in a meatball state for half a month, Ye Lin returned to a human shape.

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 force 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 force 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 Gang Tempering Soul Art during this half month, but her progress was much slower than Ye Lin's.

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

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

Having tasted the sweetness brought by the Demonic Gang Tempering Soul Art, Ye Lin couldn't wait to pursue.

"Of course it's the Demon Dragon Pool, which is 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 Demon Venerable Lord. Are you sure that Corpse-Underworld Hidden Clothes of yours can deceive Demon Venerable Lord?"

"Hiss......"

Ye Lin was also a bit troubled; he really wasn't sure about this, after all, there were too few records of the Divine Realm above the Lie Yang Realm.

No one knew how terrifying the real Divine Realm was; the strongest of the Human Clan had only condensed a prototype of the Divine Realm.

"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 Demon Venerable Lord 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 absolutely terrifying; 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 stopped.

"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 being occupied by the Earth Spirit Demon Clan.

"Hey, just this matter? Don't talk about the ancestral land; I can even pack the entire Earth Spirit Demon Clan and give it to you."

Ye Lin waved his hand indifferently; his purpose in 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 also just because leading the Earth Spirit Demon Clan to attack was 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 regarded him as the real Soul-Devouring Empress.

Relationships that start with deception cannot 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...
