Chapter 2508: The Demon Heaven Patriarch's Scheme, Li Chengtian Bears the Brocade Years

At this moment, probably no one believes it.

The three-headed, six-armed monster before them is none other than the ancient sovereign who once dominated the Li tribe, Li Chengtian.

"Chengtian clan brother, it's me—what are you doing?"

Li Xinghe, Li Peiyu, and the others were terrified, struggling to break free.

Because these black tentacles were madly absorbing their life essence, spiritual energy, and so on.

One could even say these black tentacles are the concrete manifestation of the Demon Embryo Parasitic Technique.

Yet Li Chengtian gave no response.

At this moment, he had been schemed against by the Demon Heaven Patriarch, already gone mad and lost his reason.

He could no longer tell friend from foe.

His sole objective was singular.

To absorb energy and kill Jun Xiaoyao.

Seeing that person—neither human nor ghost, resembling a monster—Li Chengtian,

Jun Xiaoyao raised his brow slightly, not surprised in the least.

He had actually long known that the Demon Heaven Patriarch had not been completely eradicated.

His remnant soul had become entwined with Li Chengtian.

This was tantamount to making a deal with a tiger for its skin.

Surely, the current Li Chengtian is the one who fell victim to the Demon Heaven Patriarch's scheme.

Perhaps, too, due to the Demon Embryo Parasitic Technique, he has become what he is now.

"How did he end up like this?"

Seeing this scene, Yun Ruoshui furrowed her brow slightly.

This sight evoked in her an instinctive discomfort.

"He's coming after me alone, Ruoshui clan sister—you all should retreat first." Jun Xiaoyao said.

He showed no panic, nor did he think of fleeing.

Quite fitting, right here and now, to settle things with Li Chengtian—or rather, the Demon Heaven Patriarch.

"Should I stay and help?" Yun Ruoshui asked.

Li Chengtian's aura was originally strong, carrying a violent intent.

And now, having absorbed so much heavenly pride's life essence, his aura became even more terrifying, making her frown involuntarily.

This is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Especially one who doesn't care about his own life.

"No need." Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Alright then, I'll trust you." Yun Ruoshui said.

If I hadn't seen Jun Xiaoyao defeat Xuanyuan Zongheng, I might still have worried.

But now.

Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, and Jun Xiaoyao loses,

he should still be able to escape without problem.

Immediately, Yun Ruoshui and the heavenly pride of the Yun Sacred Emperor Palace also picked several stalks of rare semi-immortal herbs from the medicine garden, then departed.

As for Jun Xiaoyao, he did not disturb Li Chengtian's "meal," but leisurely gathered up the Feathered Immortal Lotus.

And it was precisely in this short span of time.

Li Xinghe, Li Peiyu, and the other heavenly pride present, entangled by the black tentacles,

each one became withered and emaciated, sucked dry like human husks.

Finally, they turned directly into a pile of white powder on the ground.

Even their Primordial Spirits were completely absorbed and refined.

After absorbing the entirety of this great group of heavenly pride's essence,

Li Chengtian's body swelled violently, becoming a three-zhang-tall little giant, three-headed and six-armed, his entire body coiled with unmatched might.

Behind him, eight black tentacles extended, their tips sharp as dark spears.

One could say that at this moment, Li Chengtian is incomparably stronger than before—so much so that comparison is meaningless.

"Yun Xiao!"

Li Chengtian's eyes now had no whites at all, just a sheet of black, still shooting forth blood-red light.

"After all, he was once a monstrous genius of the Li tribe—now reduced to this state, how pitiful, how lamentable."

Jun Xiaoyao sighed.

"Heh heh, this is all thanks to you."

A hoarse voice sounded, not from Li Chengtian speaking.

But from the soul undulation emanating from between his brows.

"Demon Heaven Patriarch, your methods are not bad either." Jun Xiaoyao's gaze was calm and indifferent.

"You'd better first think about how to get past this trial." The soul of the Demon Heaven Patriarch laughed coldly with a grating sound.

Li Chengtian's current might can be said to be such that even some ancient monstrous geniuses would absolutely not be his match.

And as long as Li Chengtian can suppress Jun Xiaoyao, then the Demon Heaven Patriarch can take advantage of his weakness, strike when unprepared, and seize Jun Xiaoyao's body.

"You're using Li Chengtian as a tool, trying to seize my body this way."

"I must say, your idea isn't bad—unfortunately, you misjudged my strength."

Jun Xiaoyao clearly saw through the Demon Heaven Patriarch's intention.

"Then let's try."

Boom!

Li Chengtian made his move, three heads and six arms, as if bringing a gale of blood and rain.

At the same time, behind him were eight tentacles like dark spears.

With this whole set, his combat capabilities were maxed out.

Anyone who engaged him in close-quarters combat would absolutely be facing a nightmare.

And the Demon Heaven Ancestor clearly knew this as well, so he guided Li Chengtian to directly close in and fight Jun Xiaoyao at close range.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a cold smile.

This really took guts, daring to engage him in close combat.

The two collided in an instant.

"Die!"

Li Chengtian had lost his reason; at this moment he only let out a roar, six arms, and eight dark tentacles behind him.

All together they blasted toward Jun Xiaoyao.

In a split second, countless black afterimages emerged, carrying surging power.

Jun Xiaoyao also made a move, his fist light illuminating the heavens.

The fluctuations from the two's close combat spread in all directions, almost destroying this place, leaving it a complete mess.

Jun Xiaoyao's fist blasted onto Li Chengtian, even splattering blood.

But Li Chengtian was oblivious, as if he hadn't noticed at all.

And the wounds on his body immediately had flesh buds growing out.

Jun Xiaoyao understood, this was because Li Chengtian had absorbed too much energy.

His own energy could not be vented.

And at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao had become a window for venting energy.

Li Chengtian's eight dark tentacles, like spears, stabbed toward Jun Xiaoyao.

On Jun Xiaoyao's body surface, divine rings emerged.

The tentacles stabbed into them, like entering a quagmire, advancing with difficulty.

And Jun Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed, divine energy surging, power resisting heaven and earth.

Tear!

One tentacle after another was directly torn off, ripped apart by Jun Xiaoyao.

Li Chengtian let out a furious roar, the Qilin pattern on his forehead shone, and then endless energy gathered.

A Qilin seemingly cast from purple gold, lifelike, emerged.

Originally, with Li Chengtian's strength, he could not have displayed the Qilin Great Divine Ability to this extent.

But the current him was clearly incomparable to before.

The Qilin Great Divine Ability was driven to its utmost by him.

Simply like a true Primordial Qilin being born.

That Qilin directly stomped a hoof toward Jun Xiaoyao, shattering heaven and earth, cleansing the universe.

As Jun Xiaoyao reached out, the Kunpeng, Jin Wu and other Great Divine Abilities were displayed.

There was a Kun fish swinging its tail, erupting with boundless force.

And a Jin Wu spreading its wings, blazing flames burning the prairie.

These ancient divine abilities collided together, erupting in brilliant divine splendor.

And Jun Xiaoyao took this opportunity to directly sever Li Chengtian's eight dark tentacles.

This is a concrete manifestation of the Demon Embryo Parasite Art, representing a kind of plundering power.

However, after Jun Xiaoyao severed them, behind Li Chengtian, tentacles actually grew out again.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao once again displayed another divine ability.

Bridal Garment Demon Art!

This is similarly a plundering demonic art, and extremely overbearing, absolutely not inferior to the Demon Embryo Parasite Art.

"Bridal Garment Demon Art!"

The Demon Heaven Ancestor's soul also reacted.

The Bridal Garment Demon Art was displayed, instantly suppressing the Demon Embryo Parasite Art.

At the same time, the energy within Li Chengtian's body was also drawn out by the Bridal Garment Demon Art.

Seeing this, the Demon Heaven Ancestor once again borrowed the Demon Embryo Parasite Art to control Li Chengtian, wanting to fight to the death.

Li Chengtian let out a long howl, and behind him an ancient Heaven-Reaching Diagram emerged.
