Chapter 313: Devouring Demons
The moment the two demon emperors saw the huge life core, their eyes immediately turned ravenous.
Swoosh. Swoosh.
The Demon Emperor Mo and the Demon Emperor Millipede charged towards the huge life core almost immediately. Clearly, they both wanted to obtain the life core.
This life core seemed to be lethally attractive to them. Previously, they were continuously attacking the altar probably because they knew that there was a life core under the altar.
“Lin Feng, quick, we cannot let them obtain that life core. Once they devour it, only death awaits you!”
Suddenly, Longbetham’s voice sounded in Lin Feng’s mind, and it sounded very anxious.
“They can devour life cores?”
“Not only can they devour it, I even suspect that the life cores that were lost in those grottoes were devoured by them. That is why they were able to grow to such a powerful level. Once they devour this huge life core, they might even reach a level comparable to five life transitions!”
Lin Feng gasped. With a level comparable to five life transition, even if they were just an ordinary demon emperors without the cosmic cultivation system or cultivating a combat body, greater demons with five life transitions could already annihilate the entire human world.
No wonder these two demon emperors guarded these grottoes so insistently and refused to leave. It turned out that these life cores were so beneficial to them.
Hence, Lin Feng frantically mobilized the power of his combat body. However, there were simply too many tentacles wrapped around his body. Even without the Demon Emperor Millipede controlling them, they could still trap Lin Feng for a period of time.
“Ignite!”
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He instantly ignited ten meters of his combat body. This was a last resort. This kind of ignition was permanent. His combat body instantly shrank from 260 meters to 250 meters.
However, the power produced by instantly igniting ten meters of the combat body was simply earth-shattering. Lin Feng roared in fury, and the countless tentacles on his body broke at once.
There was a ripping noise.
With all its tentacles broken, even the Demon Emperor Millipede suffered a certain amount of backlash. However, it did not even turn around. Instead, it flew towards the huge scarlet crystal in a frenzy. Moreover, it had already opened its mouth, preparing to swallow it.
“Dean, stop them!” Lin Feng shouted.
The Invincible Fist Sage could clearly tell that the scarlet crystal must be very important to the two demon emperors. No matter what it did, he could not let the two demon emperors succeed.
“Divine Fire of Apocalypse!”
The Invincible Fist Sage gathered the last of his strength. Endless Astral Power actually condensed into a hundred-meter-tall flaming giant. It roared and smashed down hard.
Boom.
The flame giant exploded with a bang. Although it hindered the two demon emperors slightly, without the enhancement of the Divine Kingdom, it did not stop them for long.
On the other hand, the Invincible Fist Sage’s pre-existing injuries were exacerbated, and his combat strength had clearly decreased.
Just as the Demon Emperor Millipede was about to devour the scarlet crystal, the Demon Emperor Mo suddenly swung its tail hard.
Bang.
This strike landed squarely on the Demon Emperor Millipede’s body. Immediately, its massive body was sent flying as it let out an angry roar.
However, it was already too late. The Demon Emperor Mo opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the life core in one gulp. Even though the Demon Emperor Millipede used its tentacles to entangle Demon Emperor Mo, in time, it was useless.
The two demon emperors fought like they were ballistic. At the same time, the entire grotto was already shaking. It was obvious that it was about to collapse.
“Sage Lin Feng, let’s leave quickly.”
Seeing that the grotto was about to collapse, the Invincible Fist Sage also thought of retreating.
Lin Feng glanced at the battle between the two demons. He still had a chance to obtain the life core. Otherwise, once he left, if the Demon Emperor Mo slowly digested the life core, it would very likely become a terrifying greater demon on the level of five life transitions.
At that time, no matter how far they escaped, it would be pointless.
“Dean, you’re injured. Leave quickly. No matter what, I can’t let these two demon emperors obtain the scarlet crystal!”
With that, Lin Feng immediately joined the battle.
Rumble.
Lin Feng’s 250-meter combat body was also very terrifying when unleashed. Moreover, he seemed to have a tacit understanding with the Demon Emperor Millipede to work together to deal with the Demon Emperor Mo.
Immediately, the Demon Emperor Mo roared repeatedly, but it was forced to retreat continuously by Lin Feng and the Demon Emperor Millipede. Its body was injured all over.
The Demon Emperor Mo roared furiously. Its entire body seemed to have expanded again. At the same time, it smacked the ground in a frenzy.
Crunch.
Finally, cracks actually appeared on the ground from its strikes.
Swoosh.
The crack collapsed, and the ground collapsed. In a few breaths’ time, a huge hole had appeared. It was dark inside, and there was no knowing how deep it was.
The Demon Emperor Mo fell directly into the huge hole. The Demon Emperor Millipede roared furiously and jumped in.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and jumped in as well. He could not let the life core fall into the hands of the two demon emperors.
“Dean, if I don’t appear in a month, you won’t have to wait for me…”
Lin Feng’s voice was still echoing in the grotto, but Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth. He really wanted to jump down with Lin Feng, but he was a Sage, one of the Nine Sages of humanity, and he shouldered the hope of countless humans.
He could not risk everything without regard.
“Lin Feng, you must live!”
The Invincible Fist Sage gritted his teeth, then transformed into a beam of light and flew up rapidly.
…
There was endless darkness around him. Lin Feng was already in the abyss.
He did not know where he was, but he could feel that he was falling. It felt like he had been falling for a few minutes, but he still did not see the bottom.
Lin Feng grabbed on to Demon Emperor Mo tightly with both hands, while Demon Emperor Millipede followed closely behind.
The power on Demon Emperor Mo’s body grew stronger and stronger. It seemed to be still expanding, and there was a faint scarlet light that seemed to contain a terrifying might.
“It is digesting the life core! Lin Feng, you do not have much time left. You have to retrieve the life core as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it digests it completely, you will be in big trouble.”
Lin Feng was indeed in deep trouble. The Demon Emperor Mo itself was an emperor demon. In addition, it was slowly digesting the life core. Its strength was increasing almost every moment.
“I have to risk it!”
Lin Feng made a grab and forcefully tore open the thick black scales of the Demon Emperor Mo.
The Demon Emperor Mo roared in a frenzy. It opened his mouth and bit down on Lin Feng’s shoulder, as if it wanted to swallow Lin Feng whole.
Lin Feng’s combat body was also being depleted rapidly. The Demon Emperor Mo seemed to be venomous as well, and was rapidly invading Lin Feng’s combat body. Even though Lin Feng’s Tidal Combat Body excelled at defense, it could not completely stop the invasion of the venom.
Gradually, the consumption of Lin Feng’s combat body became greater and greater. He also felt that his strength was becoming weaker and weaker.
Boom.
Finally, Lin Feng fell to the ground. This seemed to be an underground river. It was bone-chilling, and the water only reached his waist.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, the Demon Emperor Millipede behind Lin Feng extended its long tentacles. Tens of thousands of tentacles bound Lin Feng and Demon Emperor Mo directly.
The Demon Emperor Millipede’s tentacles were also venomous. Hence, as more and more poison entered almost every part of Lin Feng’s combat body, his combat body was on the verge of collapse.
However, the Demon Emperor Mo was still biting Lin Feng’s shoulder hard. It did not seem to be afraid of the Demon Emperor Millipede. It just wanted to stall for time and wait for it to completely digest the life core.
“If you want to swallow me, I can swallow you too!”
Lin Feng’s ferocity was completely evoked. He suddenly ripped apart the scales on the Demon Emperor Mo’s abdomen with both hands. Then, he opened his mouth and bit towards the Demon Emperor Mo’s abdomen as well.
Immediately, Lin Feng bit down hard on almost half of the Demon Emperor Mo’s abdomen.
