Chapter 2207: Holy Martial, Second Great Realm

The terrifying bloodline of the Evil Charm Holy Body was violently remolding Yao Yulou’s Martial Arts physique.

At the same time, the Evil Charm aura on Jiang Wanyou’s body was growing stronger and stronger, as if a dreamlike melody was echoing all around.

It was like...the final requiem of the Evil Charm Holy Body...

Sikong Jing of course sensed it instantly; his beast-shaped Spiritual Shadow and Demon Beast Body almost shouted at the same time, "Aunt Jiang!"

Such a scene made Sikong Jing’s scalp prickle and his mind quake madly; even his Demon Beast Body forgot everything and roared out the words "Aunt Jiang." Fortunately, at this moment no one noticed the shout from his Demon Beast Body.

Sikong Jing’s head buzzed nonstop, his eyes bloodshot scarlet.

In the end, Aunt Jiang still chose to sacrifice herself, to fulfill this war and the desperate struggle of all the Thousand Prison Tower chess pieces.

And as the Invincible God General, Sikong Jing understood this all too clearly.

What Aunt Jiang was doing was right; she didn’t just want to change the tide of battle, she wanted to save Yao Yulou’s parents, and even more people.

Yet emotionally, in his heart, Sikong Jing simply couldn’t accept it.

At this moment... buzz buzz buzz!

Even the battlefield where the Beast Killing and Soldier Killing were clashing began to be affected by the aura of the Evil Charm Holy Body; the surrounding space seemed to start twisting, that dreamlike Evil Charm Power making everyone slightly dazed.

All the people and beasts locked in slaughter showed a brief look of confusion.

Hearing Sikong Jing’s voice, Jiang Wanyou forced herself to shout back, "Young Master, help me send a message to Meixi... Tell her that her mother, though not very capable, can make more people reunite and stay together."

"Her mother was originally willing to live an ordinary life, yet still stepped onto this path. She should die in a blaze of glory, right?"

Listening to these final words of entrustment, Sikong Jing’s beast-shaped Spiritual Shadow trembled violently once again.

At the same time, Pei Kuang also emerged from that series of Evil Charm dreamlike dazes.

He suddenly reacted, stared fixedly in Yao Yulou’s direction, and roared furiously, "Yao Yulou, you damned, despicable trash... The Evil Charm Holy Body belongs to this Tower Master. What right do you have to devour it? I’ll kill you!"

Staring at Yao Yulou, who was growing stronger and stronger while devouring, Pei Kuang was simply enraged to the extreme, spewing curses crazily.

He had completely lost the composure a Tower Master and number one expert under heaven should have.

He was insane, utterly deranged!

Once more, he howled like a madman, "All Thousand King Soldiers, follow me and shift the Soldier Killing Formation to slaughter that little cur Yao Yulou."

Under Pei Kuang’s desperate charge, his Soldier Killing Formation violently smashed aside Sikong Jing’s Beast Killing Formation.

The power of the entire Golden Light Tower Formation kept crashing down, pounding onto Sikong Jing’s Beast Killing Formation... simply refusing to let the Beast Killing Formation continue to block his path to kill Yao Yulou and snatch-devour Jiang Wanyou. It could be said Pei Kuang was now throwing out all his means.

If he delayed any longer, it would be too late; he could not accept the Evil Charm Holy Body slipping past him.

He even more so could not accept that a low, insignificant nobody like Yao Yulou... was wasting a heaven-given treasure!

But how could Sikong Jing possibly let him have his way?

The Demon Beast Body glared with blood-red eyes; he tore his gaze back from Jiang Wanyou and Yao Yulou, clenching his twin claws tightly as he raved, "Devour—for me... step into the Second Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage!"

Boom boom boom...

Sikong Jing’s Demon Beast Body no longer suppressed the Demonic Qi within; he went madly devouring whatever was around him.

Surging Energy was drawn into his body, and his realm soared continuously.

Finally, at the instant Pei Kuang was about to break through his Beast Killing Formation, he thundered into the Second Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage.

Sikong Jing’s Demon Intent grew even fiercer and more violent; he even separated himself from the Beast Killing Formation and slammed himself in front of Pei Kuang’s terrifying Thousand Kings Soldier Killing Formation, his towering Demon Claws crashing down on Pei Kuang’s Soldier Killing Formation, blocking it by brute force.

In the next moment, Sikong Jing’s Demon Body bellowed to the surroundings, "All demon beasts of the Emperor Realm, enter my formation, or die!"

Previously, the Emperor Realm demon beasts had been cowed by the Golden Fierce Battle Dragon and were sitting on the fence, helping neither side... Now that Sikong Jing’s realm was already on par with the Golden Fierce Battle Dragon, he naturally could command those Emperor Realm demon beasts.

The Golden Fierce Battle Dragon could no longer stop him!

Roaring sounds echoed—quite a few demon beasts of the Emperor Realm were cowed and forced to join Sikong Jing’s terrifying Beast Killing Formation; afterward, Sikong Jing once more cast out pitch-black Beast Killing Array Patterns and again stood firm against Pei Kuang’s Soldier Killing Formation.

The Beast Killing Array Power skyrocketed in an instant!

Pei Kuang was stunned on the spot; blocked in his advance, he continued to rave, "Human-shaped Fierce Beast, why are you still not going insane?"

Not going insane at the First Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage was barely acceptable—but now that this Demon Beast had broken through to the Second Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage, as a Demon Beast, how could he so blatantly defy common sense?

Sikong Jing’s Body glinted with cold eyes, his Han Sheng voice ringing out, "Without completing my objective, how could I easily go insane?"

In truth, his Pure Spirit Heart was rapidly being consumed...

Last time he was Demonized, Sikong Jing went from the Peak of the Martial Battle Stage to the Venerable Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage; the first use of the Pure Spirit Heart could sustain him for more than a full day, but this time it was different.

Although he Demonized from the Emperor Martial King Realm into the Holy Martial Stage, the Demonic Energy required far exceeded the last time.

Reaching the First Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage could support him for roughly half a day.

That would allow him to proceed steadily within Qianwang Holy City and respond to more possible situations; but now that he had devoured his way to the Second Great Realm of the Holy Martial Stage, the Pure Spirit Heart’s second use could only support him for two hours.

For him, that meant he could very likely lose control of the situation afterward.

One must know, later on Pei Kuang might still summon the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast, and moreover, when summoning the Six-clawed Evil Heart Mixed Beast, Pei Kuang would have the protection of a spatial light pillar.

As long as Pei Kuang could not be cut down, sinking too deep into Demonization would be meaningless, nothing but a waste.

Besides, he still had to lead the chess pieces to break out of Qianwang Holy Tower’s territory.

This was also why Sikong Jing had previously wanted to try and see if he could reach the Venerable Realm.

If only he had reached the Venerable Realm, then when he Demonized into the Third Stage of Holy Martial, the time he could sustain it would be far longer.

There is no "if"; many things cannot be done just by wishing.

Just like, at the very beginning of Demonization...

If he could have instantly reached the Third Stage of Holy Martial and cut down Pei Kuang, Sikong Jing would of course have done so—but at the start, where would he have found the time and Energy to devour his way straight to the Third Stage?

In short, the current battle situation had not strayed from Sikong Jing’s expectations; he had always been making the worst preparations...

Back in Fenglei City, he had already told Changqing Venerable that he very likely would not be able to return.

He had handed over in advance to Changqing Venerable the antidote for controlling Qu Hanming.

Of course, not returning didn’t necessarily mean death—it very likely meant he would sink too deep into Demonization and have to leave.

And now, with Jiang Wanyou’s situation, Sikong Jing had to deepen his Demonization to block Pei Kuang’s madness. Jiang Wanyou would very likely not be saved, yet he still had to ensure that Yao Yulou could survive smoothly.

Even more importantly, he had to search for whether Jiang Wanyou might still have a sliver of Vitality.

Across from him, Pei Kuang stared at the human-shaped Fierce Beast, Sikong Jing...

He looked once more toward Yao Yulou and Jiang Wanyou’s direction, continuing to rave, "Break for me... break break break!"

But it was useless; Sikong Jing’s Beast Killing Formation was far stronger than before.

Through his beast mouth, Sikong Jing said coldly, "Pei Kuang, in fact we already knew about the existence of the Evil Charm Holy Body. That sword in Overlord City was only to suppress the Evil Charm so you wouldn’t discover it."

Hearing the words from Sikong Jing’s Beast Body, Pei Kuang was stunned on the spot.

He immediately thought of that sword Little Demon Sikong had struck at Jiang Wanyou; he hadn’t done it to kill Jiang Wanyou, but to suppress the Evil Charm... Pei Kuang’s whole body crackled with rage as he jabbed a furious finger at the human-shaped Fierce Beast!

"It was your Demon Blood that suppressed the Evil Charm Holy Body so I couldn’t discover it?"
