Chapter 554: Shocking Truth

Indecisive.

A saintly savior.

Not evil enough.

Hearing the Demon Lord's description of him, Ye Lin's eyes welled up with hot tears.

He stepped forward, grasped the Demon Lord's hand, and said with immense excitement.

"A kindred spirit! Truly a kindred spirit!"

"When I told others before that I was a saintly savior, not only did they not believe me, they even called me a beast. As expected, the person in this world who understands me best is myself!"

The Demon Lord's brows furrowed slightly.

Why did he vaguely feel that this benevolent soul was a bit off?

But the Demon Lord did not dwell on it; as things stood, he and Ye Lin were destined for only one to survive!

"Enough nonsense, stretch out your neck and accept your death."

The Demon Lord raised his demonic sword again, demonic energy surging, making his presence appear even more astonishing.

A sword beam carrying the aura of world-destruction slashed toward Ye Lin; wherever it passed, countless spatial rifts emerged.

Ye Lin's expression also turned grave; the Demon Lord was definitely the most powerful enemy he had encountered so far.

Zhuge Qianxing had left a larger psychological shadow on him, but the Demon Lord was purely a numerical monster in the truest sense.

Murderous intent flickered in those deep purple eyes, carrying an arrogance that looked down upon everything.

Ye Lin raised his hand, dark clouds gathered, and thunder converged.

Brilliant golden thunder carrying chaotic mist crashed down, scaring the living beings watching from afar until their faces turned pale.

If this bolt of thunder were to fall into the crowd, it was likely that not a single person present would survive.

The thunder and the sword beam collided, with lightning arcs and sword Qi intertwining in the void.

Both sides were using their full strength, without holding back in the slightest.

Ye Lin's body began to be sliced by sword Qi into deep, bone-revealing bloody gashes, and the demonic energy clung to his flesh like maggots on bone, preventing his wounds from healing.

The brilliant golden thunder slammed into the Demon Lord, deforming the demonic armor on his body.

The Demon Lord's expression remained unchanged as he held the demonic sword and killed again.

"Slay!"

The demonic sword stood upright, becoming a black line.

Behind the Demon Lord, it was as if a god of slaughter had revived to assist him in suppressing and killing Ye Lin.

"Forbidden Spell: Spacetime Wormhole!"

"Forbidden Spell: Eternal Geng Metal!"

Ye Lin reacted quickly, casting two forbidden spells in succession.

A spatial channel appeared beside Ye Lin, and the other end of the channel was the Demon Lord's body.

A golden long spear, as if capable of poking a hole through this heaven and earth, headed straight for the spatial channel.

Swish!

The Demon Lord's sword was too fast; carrying invincible killing intent, it instantly split Ye Lin in two. A rain of blood began to fall from the sky; Ye Lin had been directly slain by this strike.

At the same time, the long spear condensed from Eternal Geng Metal traveled through space and time, instantly piercing the Demon Lord's body!

A wisp of purple blood sprayed out; this was the first time the Demon Lord had been injured since his appearance.

"Well done!"

The human race was filled with excitement!

Although on the surface, it appeared that Ye Lin was more severely injured.

But they knew very well that Ye Lin possessed an undying body.

As long as the Demon Lord could be injured, with the ebb and flow of battle, the scales of victory would naturally tilt toward Ye Lin.

The Demon Lord calmly lowered his head, reached out to wipe his body, and looking at that eerie purple blood, he suddenly started to laugh.

"How long has it been since I was last injured? So long that... I had almost forgotten that I, too, possess an undying body."

Within the Demon Lord's body, a surge of blood Qi churned, and demonic energy gathered toward his wound.

The wound that had pierced through the Demon Lord's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, a recovery speed not a bit inferior to Ye Lin's!

A moment later, the Demon Lord had returned to his peak state.

The Ye Lin on the left and the Ye Lin on the right both revealed looks of horror in their eyes.

If the Demon Lord's strength made him wary, then the fact that the Demon Lord also possessed an undying body was absolutely earth-shattering bad news for him!

From the moment he arrived in this world, the thing that had always made him invincible was his undying body!

But now, he had to face an opponent who possessed an undying body just like him; this was simply hell-level difficulty.

The crowd, who had already begun to celebrate prematurely, fell silent at this moment, and a sense of despair quietly permeated the air.

The Demon Lord also had an undying body!

For the human race, this was simply a disaster!

But the Demon Lord did not give Ye Lin and the others a chance to catch their breath; after his wounds recovered, he raised his sword and killed again!

Ye Lin took a deep breath, and his gaze gradually calmed down.

Regarding how to deal with an undying body, Zhuge Qianxing had already taught him by example twice.

Since he and the Demon Lord both possessed undying bodies, what it came down to was who died fewer times, and who could seal the other first!

The Dragon bloodline within Ye Lin roared, instantly pushing his Dragon Transformation to the limit, turning him into a humanoid tyrannosaur. With every punch thrown, ocean-like terrifying fist power swept through everything.

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

At the same time, one forbidden spell after another was condensed by him and launched at the Demon Lord; the surroundings seemed to have turned into a world of forbidden spells.

Those forbidden spells, which for other job-changers would only be used when life reached its end with no hope of survival, were just the most ordinary basic attacks for Ye Lin.

Demonic energy surged on the Demon Lord's body; he likewise had no intention of defending. The demonic sword in his hand was incomparably sharp, and every slash was terrifying, with peerless killing intent as if to exterminate all living things in the world.

The battle between two undying bodies was tragic to the extreme.

Bright red human blood and purple demonic blood fell continuously from the nine heavens, dyeing the earth a strange brown.

Ye Lin threw a punch, directly causing the demonic armor on the Demon Lord's body to collapse inward.

The Demon Lord slashed, and Ye Lin's arm flew into the air.

Ye Lin pressed a point-blank forbidden spell directly onto the collapsed part of the demonic armor. As the thunder light exploded, the Chaotic Divine Thunder tore a terrifying gap in the Demon Lord's armor, and the purple demonic blood that had just emerged was instantly evaporated by the high temperature brought by the thunder.

Both of them only attacked and did not defend, fighting until their bodies were covered in horrific wounds.

The wisp of the Law of Undying within each of their bodies had been pushed to the limit; their bodies were constantly recovering, only to be constantly destroyed by the other.

"Do these two... not feel pain?"

The head of the Ji family, Ji Wubing, felt his scalp tingle as he watched; he was very glad that the Ji family had not clashed with Ye Lin at the time.

Although they wouldn't be beaten to death because of their undying bodies, those two were too terrifying.

They were like two beasts fighting for their lives, thinking only of how to bite a piece of flesh off the other, without considering defense at all.

The Demon Lord's demonic sword had somehow left his hand and pierced into the top of Ye Lin's head, leaving only the hilt outside, with sword Qi raging and continuously destroying Ye Lin's body.

Ye Lin ignored it, relying on his incomparably tough physique to punch the Demon Lord again and again, leaving his demonic armor covered in scars.

As Ye Lin cast another forbidden spell, the Demon Lord's demonic armor, which had extreme defensive power, finally shattered completely, becoming a pile of debris on the ground.

"Without your turtle shell, we are equal now."

Although a sword was stuck in his head, Ye Lin was not affected in the slightest.

The Demon Lord, having lost his armor, was not only not panicked, but instead, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Why would you think that armor was to protect myself? In fact, that armor was to protect you."

"My power is too strong, so strong that I feared I might accidentally shatter this world, so I wore that armor to suppress my own power."

"I should even thank you for helping me remove the shackles."

As soon as the words fell, terrifying demonic energy erupted from the Demon Lord's body; the surging demonic energy shot straight into the clouds like a demonic dragon!

In an instant, whether it was the Demon Realm or the territory of the human race, everything trembled uncontrollably at this moment!

The Demon Lord's five fingers slowly closed, as if adapting to this suddenly increased power.

He slowly raised his purple eyes.

"The game of house, let it end here."
