Chapter 842 - 836: Demon Lord’s Transformation

This mysterious Father God is almost unable to hold on.

He destroyed the Returning Ruins and annihilated the Three Thousand Demon Gods, successfully avenging his past grievances.

Initially, he felt no great reluctance toward his own demise.

But just as he was about to falter, he suddenly sensed that Returning Ruins was reviving again.

This caused a surge of intense unwillingness within him.

No matter what, he must destroy Returning Ruins, he must destroy Returning Ruins.

His residual soul was about to dissipate, and he could no longer accomplish all of this personally.

Thus, he needed to find a successor to complete this task on his behalf.

The Demon Lord happened to enter this mysterious space at this moment.

This preordained that the Demon Lord would become his successor.

His soul was about to perish; without choosing the Demon Lord, he wouldn’t have time to wait for another to enter this place.

If he didn’t agree, the Demon Lord would have no path but death.

The Demon Lord had no choice, and neither did he.

The Demon Lord, in fact, had no reason to hesitate; he needed immense power to seek vengeance against the Buddha.

By becoming the new Father God of these Chaos Star Beasts, he would lead them in a return to the Void.

First kill the Buddha, then slay Lin Yuan, becoming the ruler of Heaven and Earth, the Void, and Returning Ruins.

Thinking about this, the Demon Lord already envisioned himself as the new Father God, controlling all Chaos Star Beasts.

"Ha ha!"

"Buddha, you never imagined that I would be the one to win in the end, did you?"

"The resentment of that day, I will repay doubly."

"Yin Celestial Son, Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins, Lin Yuan, you must all die, all must die!" The Demon Lord looked insane, laughing contagiously one moment, and roaring furiously skyward the next.

Father God Luo Hou witnessed this scene, secretly pleased with a nod.

The Demon Lord, burdened by deep hatred, seemed very much like himself when his transcendence pathway was severed, trapped in this place.

The more hatred the Demon Lord bore, the greater the resentment in his heart, the more likely he was to agree to this requirement.

Because he could not die.

Only alive, and wielding formidable power, could he possibly avenge his grievances.

After crying and laughing, and a grand emotional outburst, the Demon Lord’s emotion finally calmed.

He gazed intently at the Father God before him and declared decisively: "I agree!"

"I agree!"

After receiving the Demon Lord’s affirmative response, Father God Luo Hou scanned the surroundings, his eyes laden with endless antiquity.

"Hopefully, you won’t regret your choice."

"From today onward, you shall live carrying my hatred."

"Now, I am finally freed; you will become the true Father God!"

"I will give you the strongest power."

As he spoke, Father God Luo Hou approached the Demon Lord and placed his hand on his forehead.

The next moment, the Demon Lord felt a surge of power pouring into his body.

However, for some reason, this sensation and power made the Demon Lord feel very unreal.

How to describe it?

This sensation was akin to doing it with Liu Yifei.

But upon closer experience, it felt like a dream.

It was pleasurable, yet very unreal.

Back when Lin Yuan cleaved the Good Corpse in the Blood Coffin and controlled Returning Ruins, it felt the same.

This feeling, seemingly real yet surreal, seemed both void and actual.

Father God Luo Hou gently caressed the Demon Lord’s skull.

In reality, he was bestowing all his remaining power onto the Demon Lord.

For Father God Luo Hou, the remaining power was scant.

But for the Demon Lord, it was an inexhaustible torrent of power.

When a dream is powerful enough, it can impact reality.

Father God Luo Hou bestowed power upon the Demon Lord in the dream, inducing transformations in the mysterious space as well, with the Demon Lord’s skull undergoing changes.

Throughout the mysterious space, the black ink-like fluid was everywhere.

The fluid stretched into strands of thread, akin to a cocoon, wrapping the Demon Lord’s skull within.

This ink-black fluid was transformed by Father God Luo Hou’s energy.

In the dream, Father God Luo Hou gifted his power to the Demon Lord.

Triggering changes in reality, the ink-black fluid continued to penetrate the Demon God’s body.

Seeing this scene, the Chaos Star Beasts were filled with envy.

Unfortunately, the residual energy was too pure for the Chaos Star Beasts to absorb, leaving them to watch helplessly as the Demon Lord absorbed it.

As the ink-black fluid continued to condense in reality, a pitch-black Demon Cocoon completely enveloped the Demon Lord’s skull.

At this time, in the dream, Father God Luo Hou was gradually dissipating, completely turning into nothingness.

"Destroy Returning Ruins!"

"Destroy Returning Ruins!"

"Destroy Returning Ruins!"

Father God Luo Hou’s furious voice echoed around before it vanished.

After Father God Luo Hou disappeared, the Demon Lord perceived the abundant power within his body.

However, he was unable to awaken from the dream.

Because Father God Luo Hou’s transformation of the Demon Lord’s skull was not yet complete.

Until the transformation was complete, the Demon Lord’s consciousness could only be confined within the dream.

Only upon completion of the transformation could the Demon Lord’s consciousness return.

Nonetheless, the Demon Lord was not in a hurry.

Having suddenly found a way from an otherwise doomed dead end, he was overwhelmingly excited.

The Demon Lord’s consciousness was trapped within the dream.

Meanwhile, outside the Demon Cocoon, the Demon Lord’s skull was undergoing dramatic changes.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Heartbeat-like sounds emanated from within the Demon Cocoon, followed by visible expansion.

Within mere days, the skull within the cocoon swelled to the size of a small hill.

This process continued for a total of eighty-one days.

After eighty-one days, a pitch-black tentacle resembling an octopus tore apart the Demon Cocoon.

As each octopus tentacle emerged from the cocoon, it was akin to a chick breaking from its shell.

Simultaneously, the Demon Lord’s consciousness returned to this new body.

The core of this new body was still the Demon Lord’s skull.

However, the skull had grown to the size of a small mountain.

Where the skull connected to the neck, countless pitch-black, thick tentacles grew.

At this moment, the Demon Lord resembled a colossal skeletal octopus.

The Demon Lord’s octopus tentacles seemed markedly different from the tentacles of other Chaos Star Beasts.

The other octopus tentacles were covered with mouths, noses, ears, hearts, livers, spleens, and lungs.

Yet the Demon Lord’s tentacles were empty.

The organs on the Chaos Star Beasts’ tentacles represented special abilities,

For instance, a Chaos Star Beast with eyeballs on its tentacle could unleash eradicative energy with those eyes.

In fact, just before death, an eyeball attack severely injured the Yin Celestial Son.

The Demon Lord’s empty tentacles implied that he hadn’t acquired such abilities or a special attack.
