Chapter 543: Devouring the Dragon Corpse

Ji Lingyu fell silent for a moment.

Based on his understanding of Ye Lin, he didn't even need to think to know that Ye Lin must have done something in the Demon Realm, leaving both the demons and demon beasts with psychological trauma.

Otherwise, the demons and demon beasts wouldn't have all fled in terror the moment Ye Lin donned the Corpse Nether Hidden Robe and revealed his aura.

Ye Lin did not offer much explanation; he simply hauled Ji Lingyu along to the territory of the Earth Spirit Demon tribe.

At this moment, the Earth Spirit Demon tribe had already captured quite a few demon beasts and brought them back.

Seeing Ye Lin return, all the members of the Earth Spirit Demon tribe were incredibly excited, their gazes fixed on Ye Lin with fanaticism.

With a rustle, before Ji Lingyu's terrified eyes.

The Earth Spirit Demon tribe, led by Xiao Ji, knelt down in perfect unison before Ye Lin.

"Respectfully welcoming our Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor!"

The uniform slogan resounded through the clouds, expressing the excitement in the hearts of all the Earth Spirit Demon tribe members.

Ji Lingyu was completely dumbfounded.

The scene before him had already exceeded the scope of his understanding.

Ji Lingyu cast a terrified glance at Ye Lin.

The war between humans and demons was still raging over there, yet Ye Lin had already managed to become a high-ranking member of the demon race here?

His current mood was just like if you and your best brother traveled back 85 years, and then you discovered your best brother had become a high-ranking enemy officer!

"Rise. Where are the things I tasked you with?" Ye Lin spoke indifferently.

"Reporting to my lord, Xiao Ji has already made the proper arrangements."

Xiao Ji waved a hand, and over a hundred dying demon beasts were carried up.

"My lord, Xiao Nai has already led the tribesmen to attack another demon tribe; we will be able to capture them all alive very soon!"

"Mm, well done."

Ye Lin looked toward Ji Lingyu.

"What are you waiting for? Go kill the demon beasts!"

"Me... me?" Ji Lingyu was stunned for a moment.

"Nonsense! Hurry up!"

Ye Lin stuck the Human Emperor Flag into the ground nearby to facilitate the collection of soul bodies, then gave instructions to Xiao Ji.

"From now on, you are responsible for supervising this human. You must make him hack and kill demons and demon beasts 24 hours a day. He is not allowed to rest for even a quarter of an hour. Otherwise, I will hold you accountable. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Xiao Ji guarantees the mission will be completed!" Xiao Ji immediately replied.

Although he did not know why their Lord Earth Spirit Demon Emperor wanted to do this, to Xiao Ji, the order of the Earth Spirit Demon Emperor was destiny!

He only needed to execute it; there was no need to ask why.

"Work hard."

Ye Lin patted Ji Lingyu on the shoulder, then turned and left.

He didn't have that much time to spare for Ji Lingyu, so he could only force growth by pulling up the seedlings.

Walking out of the Earth Spirit Demon tribe's territory, Ye Lin ran into the Soul-Devouring Empress.

The Soul-Devouring Empress couldn't help but ask.

"How long do you intend to keep deceiving them?"

"Soon. I won't be deceiving them for much longer; I will properly settle them."

Ye Lin had already thought through how to handle the Earth Spirit Demon tribe.

"And what about me?" the Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly asked.

"You? Things have been checked strictly lately, so I don't dare to say anything suggestive. I'll cherish some time with you when there's another chance."

Ye Lin wanted to say something but stopped, then wanted to speak again but stopped.

He was truly afraid now!

After coaxing the Soul-Devouring Empress with his actions, Ye Lin headed toward the Nether Demon River.

Last time, he couldn't move the dragon corpse at the bottom of the river.

This time, with his strength, it should be no problem.

Ye Lin had a premonition that if his Dragon Transformation reached one hundred percent, perhaps he could contend against existences in the Divine Domain Realm with his physical strength alone!

Having been here once before, Ye Lin navigated the descent along the Nether Demon River with ease. After reaching the riverbed, he saw that dragon corpse once again.

Compared to last time, the dragon corpse remained unchanged, just lying quietly at the bottom of the river.

Ye Lin walked straight toward the dragon corpse.

The moment his hand touched the dragon corpse, that familiar barrier appeared once again.

A terrifyingly intense demonic Qi erupted suddenly, attempting to repel Ye Lin directly.

However, Ye Lin was no longer the person he once was; he instantly activated his Dragon Transformation.

Strengthened by the Demon Astral Soul-Forging Art, the strength of Ye Lin's physical body had reached an extremely exaggerated level upon activating the Dragon Transformation state again.

The demonic Qi erupting from the dragon corpse could not push Ye Lin away at all.

This time, Ye Lin was like a nail, firmly driven into the dragon corpse. No matter how the barrier inherent to the dragon corpse rioted, it could not shake Ye Lin in the slightest.

However, Ye Lin soon discovered something amiss.

Although the dragon corpse could no longer push him away, the barrier kept fluctuating, and he was unable to refine the dragon corpse using Endless Devouring.

"I want to see just how much longer a barrier that has existed for who knows how many years can block me."

Ye Lin did not hesitate to activate the embryonic form of his Chaos Divine Domain.

As time passed, this barrier would sooner or later fall into chaos and annihilation, turning into a wisp of green smoke and ceasing to exist.

And at this moment, Ye Lin was accelerating that process!

In the blink of an eye, a few days flashed by.

As the embryonic Divine Domain enveloped it, the barrier on the dragon corpse began to slowly dissipate with the passage of time, revealing a gap the size of a person.

Ye Lin withdrew all his power; the dragon corpse could no longer push him away now.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He stepped forward, placed his hand on the dragon corpse, and then unleashed Endless Devouring!

The dragon corpse trembled slightly, and then began to dissipate scale by scale.

Watching the scene before him, Ye Lin felt somewhat dazed.

For some reason, he actually felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar, as if he had already done this a long time ago.

Furthermore... this dragon corpse seemed not to resist him at all; on the contrary, it seemed vaguely to welcome his arrival.

"It must be my imagination..."

Ye Lin shook his head, cast all those strange thoughts out of his mind, and began to focus wholeheartedly on refining the incomparably massive dragon corpse before him.

As Endless Devouring continued, the dragon corpse began to be decomposed bit by bit.

And Ye Lin's Dragon Bloodline, which had been stuck at 99. % for a long time, finally began to climb upward again!

99. %

……

99. %

Ye Lin was incredibly excited; he would soon know what effect there would be once the Dragon Bloodline was perfected!

But the scene that followed completely exceeded Ye Lin's expectations.

99. 9%

99. 99%

99. 999%

99. 9999%

99. 99999……%

The dragon corpse had not yet been completely refined by Endless Devouring, but no matter how much Ye Lin devoured, the 9s at the end kept increasing, yet it could never reach 100%. It was just like the final strike in a "cut one blade" game—no matter how you cut, you could never fill the bar.

By the time the dragon corpse was completely refined, Ye Lin could no longer count how many 9s were at the end; in any case, that string of 9s was longer than Ye Xiaolin.

Ye Lin's expression was extremely ugly.

He had devoured an entire dragon corpse, yet the Dragon Bloodline still couldn't reach 100%. What was going on? Could it be that this dragon was a mongrel dragon?

Although it was only a tiny fraction away, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

This was just like needing to reach 100% in a "cut one blade" game to get a phone; even if you were short by one gold coin or one diamond, you still wouldn't get it.

After devouring the dragon corpse, although Ye Lin's physical strength had been greatly improved, it still hadn't undergone a qualitative change.

Ye Lin frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

"What exactly is still missing..."
