Chapter 601: The Reincarnation Battle and Peace Talks
The vast blue sky was suddenly torn by a massive black rift, like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast, slowly spreading open. An astonishing aura of evil energy erupted forth.
"What is that...?"
Some onlookers stared blankly at the anomaly in the sky. Though the surging black demonic qi made them deeply uncomfortable, they could not fathom its origin.
Only the Reincarnation Realm experts seemed to recall something, their faces changing dramatically as they gazed incredulously into the rift.
Black mist churned within the crack, and the evil black energy surged out like a tide. It then rapidly retracted in the sky, condensing into a shadowy figure.
This evil black shadow was none other than the Wolf Demon General—no, more accurately, the Wolf Demon King.
"Finally, the advancement is complete..."
Lin Langtian watched the Wolf Demon King unfurl his golden-patterned demonic wings, a faint smile curling his lips as he murmured, "A King-rank Hetero-Demon!"
After absorbing vast amounts of demonic qi energy in the mirror's inner small world over such a long time, and devouring those three strands of Demon King intent, the Wolf Demon General had finally broken through to become a King-rank Hetero-Demon.
In human terms, this fellow was now a super expert equivalent to the Reincarnation Realm.
In other words, Lin Langtian now had a genuine Reincarnation Realm subordinate under his command.
"A Hetero-Demon King... how could this be...?"
At this moment, Kun Qiong stared at the evil figure, his expression tightening. His gaze swept back and forth between Lin Langtian and the Wolf Demon King as he blurted out, "Boy, you've allied yourself with the Hetero-Demons!?"
In Kun Qiong's view, for Lin Langtian to summon a Hetero-Demon King so casually, he must have deep ties with the Hetero-Demons.
Lin Langtian, unperturbed, replied calmly, "Clan Leader Kun Qiong, you've got it wrong. Why assume I've joined the Hetero-Demons? Why not consider that the Hetero-Demons have seen the light and joined me instead?"
Kun Qiong was momentarily stunned by Lin Langtian's words.
Hetero-Demons joining humans?
The thought struck Kun Qiong as utterly absurd.
As the clan leader of the Kun Peng Clan, Kun Qiong was no stranger to Hetero-Demons. In ancient times, many of his clan's predecessors had fallen to their hands.
Hetero-Demons, as the eternal enemies of the entire Tianxuan Continent, were known for their extreme cruelty and savagery, bent on exterminating all life on the continent.
Thus, over the millennia, while there had been occasional cases of Tianxuan Continent experts losing their way and defecting to the Hetero-Demons, there had never been a single instance of Hetero-Demons voluntarily submitting to humans.
So when Lin Langtian spoke such words, Kun Qiong instinctively dismissed them as fantasy.
Yet seeing Lin Langtian's calm and confident demeanor, Kun Qiong's brows furrowed slightly. Could it be true? Had a Hetero-Demon King actually defected to a human powerhouse?
But what charm did this boy possess to attract such a fearsome being?
"Heh, believe it or not, Clan Leader Kun. But right now, I'm afraid you won't be taking Uncle Wu Ji away." Lin Langtian glanced at Kun Qiong's suspicious expression and said indifferently.
"Boy, whether your words hold truth or not, a mere Hetero-Demon King won't make this clan leader yield!"
With those words, Kun Qiong stepped forward abruptly. Terrifying Yuan Force fluctuations erupted from his body, causing the very heavens and earth to tremble violently.
It seemed this pinnacle expert of the Kun Peng Clan was about to unleash his full power.
"If Clan Leader Kun insists on fighting, then let's have a battle." Lin Langtian's brows furrowed slightly before he turned to the Wolf Demon King and said, "It's yours."
"Yes!"
Amid Kun Qiong's shocked and astonished expression, the Wolf Demon King nodded respectfully to Lin Langtian. He then turned to face Kun Qiong, letting out a shrill laugh skyward before standing tall and saying coldly, "A Reincarnation Realm expert, eh? Then you shall be the first whetstone for this king after my breakthrough."
"Whetstone? I'm afraid you don't have the skill for that." Kun Qiong chuckled lightly, his eyes growing ever colder.
"Then today, I'll show you what this king can do!"
A flash of black light gleamed in the Wolf Demon King's eyes as he sneered mockingly. His foot stomped down fiercely, and the surging demonic qi instantly transformed into a thousand-zhang demonic claw that pierced through the void, slashing viciously toward Kun Qiong.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the attack, Kun Qiong snorted coldly. The Yuan Force enveloping him surged outward. With a swirl of his palm, endless Yuan Force gathered in his hand.
"Boom!"
A massive roar echoed through the Wu Realm space. A thousands-zhang claw of a Kun Peng, fierce and clawing, burst forth, colliding head-on with the demonic claw. Countless arcs of lightning erupted, evaporating all the pervasive demonic qi.
The terrifying energy shockwave spread out, causing both the Wolf Demon King and Kun Qiong's bodies to shudder. They were evenly matched.
The sight caused an uproar in the arena. No one had expected Lin Langtian to summon such a powerful ally—even the Kun Peng Clan leader could not gain the upper hand.
Kun Jian, witnessing this, was momentarily stunned before looking incredulously at Lin Langtian and murmuring, "That Hetero-Demon has actually broken through to King-rank..."
A King-rank Hetero-Demon rivaled a Reincarnation Realm powerhouse. Even the Kun Peng Clan leader was only at that level.
"Jin Wu, your brother's methods are truly astonishing." Wu Ji gazed at the Wolf Demon King battling fiercely with Kun Qiong in the sky and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Though he still harbored doubts about Lin Langtian's ability to command a Hetero-Demon King, regardless, Lin Langtian had raised Jin Wu and was now offending the Kun Peng Clan for his sake. Wu Ji felt immense gratitude from the depths of his heart.
"Don't worry, Father. Big Brother never disappoints." Jin Wu looked toward Lin Langtian with unwavering confidence and smiled.
"Heh, it seems my son has truly grown up." Seeing Jin Wu's resolute expression, Wu Ji shook his head before smiling warmly.
...
"Though I've just broken through, the demonic qi in Master's small world is truly pure. Even facing an established Reincarnation Realm expert like this is no issue."
In the midst of the battle, after the Wolf Demon King punched back Kun Qiong once more, he laughed heartily to himself.
"Bang!"
Growing fiercer with each exchange, the Wolf Demon King's nearly ten-thousand-zhang golden demonic wings unfurled in a sky-obscuring form.
Demonic qi surged as his wings, sharp as the deadliest weapons, sliced through the void with a whoosh, appearing above Kun Qiong before slashing down viciously.
"Heavenly Peng Hand!"
Kun Qiong stared at the descending golden demonic wings, his expression grave. Sensing the power of this assault, he summoned his vast Yuan Force, which coalesced above them into a ten-thousand-zhang giant hand.
Bang!
The shocking clash erupted instantly in the sky. The massive hand, formed from Kun Qiong's surging Yuan Force, clashed savagely with the golden demonic wings carrying overwhelming demonic qi.
Below, towering buildings were reduced to nothingness by the energy ripples spreading from the heavens.
The spectators scattered in retreat—even Reincarnation Realm experts dared not approach too closely.
"Activate the clan protection grand array!"
Seeing this, Great Elder Wu Qian's face changed drastically. If these two Reincarnation Realm powerhouses continued unchecked, the entire Wu Realm would be destroyed.
"Yes!"
A low, unified shout echoed through the heavens and earth. Pillars of light shot up from all directions within the Seven Fiends Black Golden Wu Clan territory.
The pillars intertwined in the sky, faintly forming a pair of tens-of-thousands-zhang brilliant black wings. The wings spread wide, enveloping the entire Wu Realm, emanating vast, unfathomable fluctuations.
With the protection of these black wings, the turmoil in the Wu Realm from the two Reincarnation Realm experts' battle gradually stabilized. As a former dominant clan, the Seven Fiends Black Golden Wu Clan indeed had some foundation.
In the arena now, Kun Qiong's expression was grim. He gripped his hand tightly, and a gray longspear materialized. His eyes narrowed, unleashing a shocking aura that utterly crushed all Reincarnation Realm levels.
"Swoosh!"
In the next instant, Kun Qiong shot forward. Surging Yuan Force swept out, repelling the encroaching evil demonic qi. His gray longspear unleashed a sky-covering barrage of spear shadows, enveloping the Wolf Demon King.
"Hmph, come on then!"
Seeing Kun Qiong's attack, the Wolf Demon King snorted coldly. His large hand grasped out, gathering demonic qi into a black longsword. The blade slashed down furiously, cracking space as a demonic qi blade beam, like a raging demon dragon, cleaved toward Kun Qiong.
"Clang!"
Kun Qiong's figure darted past, his gray longspear piercing the void to strike the demonic qi blade beam squarely. Astonishing Yuan Force spread out, directly shaking the blade beam apart.
Powerful Yuan Force rippled as Kun Qiong's eagle-like sharp claws struck from above the blade beam, shattering it instantly.
His figure had already arrived above the Wolf Demon King. With his large hand shifting mudras, Yuan Force condensed, instantly forming a thousand-zhang massive bone spike that thrust down heavily toward the Wolf Demon King!
"Roar!"
As the terrifying bone spike, capable of piercing even demonic qi, descended, the Wolf Demon King roared skyward. His body expanded wildly at that moment, and the already overwhelming demonic qi ravaged the entire space.
"Break for me!"
The Wolf Demon King roared hoarsely. His nearly thousand-zhang body punched out, torrential demonic qi surging like countless demon dragons charging. The fist directly exploded the falling bone spike.
Shattering the bone spike, the Wolf Demon King pressed his advantage. A fierce glint flashed in his demonic pupils as he snorted coldly. His demonic claws formed a seal, and a highly condensed demonic light pierced through space, hurtling straight toward Kun Qiong.
"Bang!"
But as the demonic light shot out, a massive Yuan shield formed out of thin air before Kun Qiong. Though the shield slowly dissipated, it successfully blocked the demonic light.
"As expected of the Kun Peng Clan leader—you've got some skill. But since Master has given the order, I won't let you succeed easily!"
The Wolf Demon King gazed at Kun Qiong and sneered. A ferocious light flashed in his eyes as he let out a deep roar. His palms suddenly shifted into strange mudras, and the surging demonic qi gathered madly.
"Demon Wolf Heaven-Burying Seal!"
The roar echoed as endless demonic qi converged, rapidly forming a thousand-zhang pitch-black Demon Wolf Seal before the Wolf Demon King. Within the seal, wolf howls and wails pierced the soul.
"Swoosh!"
The Demon Wolf Seal gathered and pierced the void, attacking toward Kun Qiong.
Seeing such an offensive, a trace of solemnity crossed Kun Qiong's stern face. His hands quickly formed seals, and in an instant, terrifying Yuan Force fluctuations emanated from his body.
Suddenly, overwhelming gray light burst from Kun Qiong's body, condensing in the sky behind him into a massive light shadow.
Behind the light shadow loomed an enormous Kun Peng. Its giant wings flapped lightly, and with each flap, the Yuan Force of heaven and earth rioted wildly.
"What a troublesome Demon King..."
Kun Qiong's gaze was grave. He slowly extended two fingers, pointing remotely at the Wolf Demon King through the air.
"Heavenly Kun Myriad Peng Finger!"
Kun Qiong's solemn voice, filled with immense pressure, resounded across the sky.
The gray light rapidly gathered at his fingertips. In the next instant, a gray beam pierced the void, howling forth to clash head-on with the massive Demon Wolf Seal.
Bang!
A earth-shattering fluctuation erupted. The already distorted space tore open with countless cracks, and both Yuan Force and demonic qi suffered immense shock.
The massive light shadow before Kun Qiong shattered with a sound. Cracks appeared in his robes, and the distant Wolf Demon King was similarly blasted back thousands of zhang, his surrounding demonic qi fading somewhat.
Clearly, both had taken damage in this direct clash.
However, the demonic qi lost around the Wolf Demon King soon gathered back at an astonishing speed.
Due to the contract with the mirror's inner small world, even in the outside world, the Wolf Demon King could continuously draw the small world's vast demonic qi to replenish himself.
In other words, unless he was killed outright, he was an unkillable cockroach.
"Your Great Kun skills are impressive, but if that's all you've got, I'm afraid you'll lose this time." The Wolf Demon King looked smugly at Kun Qiong and laughed heartily.
After breaking through to King-rank Hetero-Demon, bolstered by the endless supply of demonic qi from the small world, he was nearly invincible unless facing a second-layer Reincarnation Realm expert.
Hearing the Wolf Demon King's laughter, those present exchanged uneasy glances. No one had imagined that the Kun Peng Clan leader, who had come aggressively to demand justice, would suffer such a setback.
He was a pinnacle existence at the top of the Tianxuan Continent's pyramid.
Kun Qiong's face was extremely grim at this moment. This Wolf Demon King was indeed difficult to deal with. He had barely inflicted heavy damage, only for the demonic qi to recover in moments—this method was truly bizarre.
As Kun Qiong pondered whether to unleash the clan's strongest technique to slay the Wolf Demon King, a light chuckle suddenly rang out.
Kun Qiong looked up to see Lin Langtian approaching slowly, smiling faintly. "Clan Leader Kun, with things as they are, perhaps we can sit down and talk properly now..."
