Chapter 1163: Devouring Li Lingjing, The True Demon's Evolution

The icy wax figure tore through the air, and this sudden turn of events immediately drew the attention of the many gazes present, who looked over in shock, clearly at a loss as to why.

Li Luo also saw that exquisite, icy wax figure, and when he spotted the Green Bamboo Serpent Staff gripped in its hand, his pupils abruptly contracted.

"Li Lingjing Cousin!"

He understood in an instant and shouted sharply, "Be careful, there's a fourth True Demon Egg inside that wax figure! The White-Pupil True Demon wants to absorb her!"

Feng Lingyuan and the others blanched at his words. There was actually still a True Demon Egg left outside, never having been fused? And the current White-Pupil True Demon already possessed the strength of a Marquis. If it fused with another True Demon Egg, what realm would its strength rise to?

At that point, even if Ning Meng, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and Wu Changkong gave it everything they had, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it again.

So Feng Lingyuan, Yin Yue Zhiyu, and the others all struck out one after another, their fierce phase-force attacks slicing through the long sky and slamming directly into the human-wax statue that had shot over.

However, when their attacks landed on the statue's surface, they couldn't even breach that layer of wax oil.

At the same time, the White-Pupil True Demon waved its palm, and the white human-wax seemed to form a spatial wormhole, appearing right in front of Li Li Lingjing.

And so the wax figure that Li Li Lingjing had become instantly teleported, appearing right beside the White-Pupil True Demon.

Ning Meng, Jiang Jiang Qinge, and Wu Changkong saw this and their hearts all sank. Before they could act, half of the White-Pupil True Demon's body seemed to liquefy, directly covering and wrapping up the wax figure that Li Li Lingjing had become.

"Quickly stop it!"

Ning Meng shouted hurriedly, while her heavy club smashed down violently, shattering the void. A pitch-black rift, like a black dragon, blasted toward the White-Pupil True Demon to kill it.

Jiang Jiang Qinge and Wu Changkong were quick to act as well, because they could already sense that as the fourth True Demon Egg fused, the White-Pupil True Demon's power was beginning to climb sharply.

The fierce, overwhelming attacks pierced through the void and slammed viciously into the White-Pupil True Demon's soft, boneless body.

Boom! Boom!

Violent phase-force poured out, instantly tearing hole after hole into the White-Pupil True Demon's body, but these holes were repaired in an instant by the flowing human-skin wax oil.

Everyone present felt a thick sense of unease rising within them, and even Feng Lingyuan and the others began to unleash their attacks with everything they had.

In an instant, energy surged between heaven and earth. One after another, Marquis-tier techniques of considerable power and fierce treasures tore through the air, bombarding the White-Pupil True Demon in a dense barrage.

However, faced with such dense attacks, the White-Pupil True Demon did not counterattack, instead letting those attacks land on its body.

Human-skin wax oil flowed, repairing countless wounds.

Until a certain moment, the wax oil stopped flowing, and a ghastly white halo suddenly erupted with the White-Pupil True Demon as its source, sweeping outward.

Wherever the ghastly white halo passed, the phase-force attacks from the crowd actually solidified out of thin air, and then thick white wax oil surfaced over them, freezing them solid.

The next instant, white wax oil of various shapes plummeted from the sky.

In the region around the White-Pupil True Demon, it seemed to have formed an invisible domain; none of the crowd's attacks could get close to its body.

Everyone present saw this and a chill rose in their hearts.

"Hehe."

A strange laugh abruptly rang out.

The crowd looked at the White-Pupil True Demon and saw white wax oil slowly sliding down its face, and as the wax oil slid away, a pair of cold, indifferent white pupils were the first to come into view.

But then, something even more chilling happened, because on that originally blank face, besides a pair of white pupils, even a nose and mouth had now grown out one by one.

Its nose was like a sharp dagger, somewhat bizarre, while its lips were wreathed in a cold, ghastly white, utterly bloodless.

On its exposed chest, three savage faces originally protruded there, but now a fourth face had appeared.

However, compared to the twisted agony of the other three, this face was relatively much calmer.

Li Luo gazed at that familiar face, and his heart ached. Sure enough, the wax figure that had been fused by the White-Pupil True Demon earlier was Li Lingjing Cousin!

A fierce killing intent surged within him. This damned White-Pupil True Demon! This damned Demon King of All Beings! If Li Lingjing Cousin has truly been harmed, this debt of vengeance will absolutely be repaid for her in the future!

The others didn't pay attention to whose face that fourth one was; all of their attention was fixed on the terrifying fluctuations now surging around the White-Pupil True Demon.

Even Ning Meng, Wu Changkong, and Jiang Jiang Qinge's expressions changed greatly.

Because they sensed it most acutely. The oppressive aura currently emanating from the White-Pupil True Demon was more than just twice as strong as before.

If the previous White-Pupil True Demon was merely comparable to a First Rank Marquis, then the current oppressive force was probably Second Rank, or even Third Rank!

This gap could no longer be bridged by ordinary means.

The three of them could, under the augmentation of the "Sincere Golden Seal," combined with their many hidden cards, join forces to contend with a First Rank True Demon. But if the opponent's strength rose to Second Rank or even Third Rank, then it would truly be very hard to keep playing.

So at this moment, a feeling of helplessness and despair rose in the hearts of everyone present.

An enemy of this caliber had somewhat exceeded their limits of endurance.

Wasn't the difficulty of this summoning mission a bit too high?

Jiang Jiang Qinge, however, did not show any sign of despair. Her brow was tightly furrowed, and her gaze swept toward Li Luo's position from time to time. If the situation truly showed signs of collapse, then she could only try to escape with Li Luo.

If that still didn't work in the end, then there was only one last path left.

And that was to once again ignite the Light Heart.

However, this method was too extreme. She had already used it once; if she did it a second time, the aftereffects would be unimaginably severe, possibly even costing her life.

Although this move was extremely dangerous, if she had to choose between it and keeping Li Luo alive, she would still choose the former without hesitation.

While Jiang Jiang Qinge's thoughts were turning, the White-Pupil True Demon's ghastly white lips slowly curled into a cold arc.

It raised its hand, and clouds gathered from between heaven and earth. The clouds were pitch-black, formed from endless, overwhelming malevolent energy.

The next instant, raindrops poured down from the clouds.

The raindrops were like beans, falling down, but they were white wax oil.

Only this wax oil carried no warmth whatsoever, instead emanating a chilling cold.

The white rain seemed to shroud the entire heaven and earth, turning this place into a prison from which there was no escape.

At the same time, outside the void of the Lesser Chen Heaven.

Two towering existences sat facing each other in confrontation.

The Demon King of All Beings, now in the form of a decrepit old man, wore a terrifying smile on its face as it said to the Wang Xuanjin before it: "With four True Demon Eggs fused, this momentum can no longer be stopped."

"Your students have already given it their all."

"Wang Xuanjin, this Lesser Chen Heaven rightfully belongs to my 'Wraith-Skin Fiend of All Beings.'"

Wang Xuanjin's gaze fixed upon the Small Chen Heaven before him; his deep, fathomless eyes seemed to pierce through the void, seeing everything that was happening within it.

He chuckled softly and said, "It may not all be within your grasp, after all?"

The Small Chen Heaven, originally shrouded in white mist, gradually became clear in his eyes; his gaze pierced through the distant void and landed upon a youth gripping a dragon bow within the Life Palace.

The Life Demon King cast a casual glance and laughed, "You mean that titled-rank spirit beast this person carries?"

"This power—when he entered Small Chen Heaven, this sovereign had already factored it into the plan. So long as he stirs this power, then this boundless aura of malevolent thoughts will naturally let him understand that the strength of a fierce beast is not something a mere child can wield."

Wang Xuanjin said calmly, "Does the Life Demon King truly believe that, after I've been here so long, I've done nothing but watch you perform?"

"Oh?" The Life Demon King's deeply wrinkled, aged face gradually shifted, transforming into a child as delicately carved as jade; pitch-black eyes swirled with a cold, sinister stare fixed on Wang Xuanjin.

Wang Xuanjin smiled faintly, his gaze upon the Small Chen Heaven, his voice rising leisurely.

"When four of the seven Ten-Thousand-Skin Evil Heart Pillars were broken, this Small Chen Heaven was already no longer under the control of your 'Life Ghost-Skin Womb.'"

He extended a finger, pointing toward the space within Small Chen Heaven; instantly, between that stretch of heaven and earth, it seemed countless wondrous lights rose up, then pierced through the long sky, converging toward the Life Palace.
