Chapter 537 - 532: Seeing the Demon Heart

Chapter 537: Chapter 532: Seeing the Demon Heart

The Three-headed Dog Demon was enormous, like a Giant Elephant. What made everyone’s expression turn grim was that the aura it emanated was not the least bit weaker than Liu Yama’s!

WHOOSH!

Lady Black Scorpion fired several pitch-black Poison Needles. A single one could kill an ordinary Earth Martial Realm Peak expert, but when they struck the Three-headed Dog Demon, its fur actually blocked them.

’So tough?!’

Lady Black Scorpion was astonished.

With such tough fur, it was as if it were wearing Treasure Armor. The Three-headed Dog Demon’s strength was likely comparable to the Ten Great Earth Martial Realms!

ROAR!

The Three-headed Dog Demon tilted its head back and let out a roar. The immense soundwave made their clothes flap loudly, and with it at the center, billowing Demonic Qi spread out in all directions.

"It’s after me." Liu Yama took a deep breath and stepped forward. His eyes were hollow, his gaze imperceptible, but a hint of excitement appeared on his face. "I’ll slay it. You all continue onward."

"Alright."

Everyone was well aware of the Three-headed Dog Demon’s power. Indeed, only Liu Yama could handle it. Furthermore, there was no point in talking; it was a race against time.

"Kill."

Like a War God, Liu Yama strode forward step by step. Within a few final strides, he leaped atop the Three-headed Dog Demon’s head and viciously slashed down with his blade.

SLASH.

A thousand-foot-long blade light flared, terrifying to the extreme.

"Let’s go."

Ning Jiang and the others were in no mood to watch the great battle and continued to press forward. Shortly after they left, the frightening clash of Energy and a deafening sound erupted from behind them.

"I wonder who will win?" Lady Black Scorpion said.

"I believe Liu Yama will win," said the old man in the straw raincoat. As a member of the Human Race, he naturally favored Liu Yama in his heart.

As they spoke, they continued onward. During this time, Dog Demons still spawned continuously.

However, these were all Two-headed Dog Demons; no Three-headed Dog Demons appeared. One Three-headed Dog Demon seemed to be the limit of this Array.

"You go on ahead. We’ll bring up the rear."

After advancing less than a hundred yards, Ao Lie and Ao Fengfeng stopped and began fighting several Two-headed Dog Demons.

"Hmph. Those two really know how to weasel out of work."

Seeing this, Gu Huaying snorted coldly. The closer they got to the Array’s core, the greater the resistance would surely be, and the more danger they would face. Ao Lie and Ao Fengfeng stopping at this moment was a clear attempt to lighten their own burden.

"Don’t worry about them," Ning Jiang said, shaking his head. "As prodigies of the Flood Dragon Clan, they should have some of their clan’s life-saving treasures. Even if their lives are in danger, they should be able to escape. It just depends on whether they’re willing to use them."

After another three hundred yards, Lady Black Scorpion and the old man in the straw raincoat also stopped. It wasn’t that they had the same idea as Ao Lie; they were simply pinned down by several Two-headed Dog Demons and couldn’t break away.

At this point, only Ning Jiang and Gu Huaying remained.

Ning Jiang didn’t let Gu Huaying accompany him further. He said, "Huaying, you should stay here too. I’ll walk the rest of the way myself."

"Alright then. Be careful."

Gu Huaying nodded without another word. Ning Jiang’s ability to kill the twin brothers was proof enough that he wasn’t the type to act impulsively without confidence.

SWOOSH.

Ning Jiang lightly tapped his toes on the ground and his figure shot forward.

A tall building appeared before him, but he passed straight through it as if he hadn’t seen it at all. The structure was like thin air, allowing Ning Jiang to pass right through.

This was an illusion created by the Ghostly Array. The reason Liu Yama and the others had been trapped here earlier, unable to find a way out, was that they couldn’t see through the illusions.

But with Ning Jiang’s knowledge, this Ghostly Array held no secrets from him.

’I’m getting close.’

Ning Jiang’s eyes narrowed slightly. Within his perception, he could clearly feel a terrifying Energy up ahead—the very source of this Ghostly Array.

"Interesting. To think you could find the correct path within the Ghostly Array. But do you really think it’s so easy to see my true self?" ℯ

A cold voice echoed from the surrounding Demonic Qi. The roiling Demonic Qi surged, coalescing into one Two-headed Dog Demon after another in front of Ning Jiang.

ROAR.

The Two-headed Dog Demons let out furious roars and pounced at Ning Jiang.

"Thunder Dragon Fist."

Ning Jiang clenched his fist, a Thunder Dragon coalescing around it. He threw a punch. The instant the Two-headed Dog Demon was touched by the Thunderbolt, it exploded, and half of its Demonic Qi was annihilated.

"Thunder Power may be able to suppress some Demonic Qi, but the Demonic Qi is endless. You won’t be able to take another step." The voice let out a mocking laugh.

"Is that so? Do you really think I’m helpless against Demonic Qi?"

However, Ning Jiang’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. His lips moved, and he slowly spat out four words: "Great Mixed Cave Technique!"

BOOM!

A massive black hole appeared behind Ning Jiang. Mysterious and profound, it spun slowly, emanating an unparalleled and terrifying Devouring Power. This Devouring Power swept toward the Two-headed Dog Demons in all directions.

The Demonic Qi on the Two-headed Dog Demons instantly spun out of control, transforming into streams of black energy that were devoured by the black hole.

A few breaths later, all the Two-headed Dog Demons on the field had vanished!

To deal with these Dog Demons formed from Demonic Qi, one could either use Flame Power to purify and completely annihilate them, or do as Ning Jiang did and devour the Demonic Qi.

However, in the current world, only Ning Jiang, who cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill, could accomplish such a feat.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill was said to devour all things, capable of consuming and refining any Energy. Faced with this Supreme Celestial Skill, the Dog Demons formed from Demonic Qi had no power to resist.

"What kind of technique is this?"

For the first time, immense shock filled the evil voice. It had been startled by Ning Jiang’s methods.

Devouring Demonic Qi was something only the Demon Race should be able to do. ’Could it be that Ning Jiang is part of the Demon Race?’

Ignoring the question, Ning Jiang relied on the Great Mixed Cave Technique and charged forward with brute force. Any Two-headed Dog Demons that appeared in his path were useless, devoured completely.

"How is this possible? How can there be a Cultivation Technique in this world capable of devouring Demonic Qi?!"

The voice grew even more shocked.

But Ning Jiang was unconcerned. ’My Cultivation is low right now, so I can’t yet display the true power of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill. If my Cultivation were a little higher, I could activate the Great Mixed Cave Technique and absorb all the Demonic Qi in this entire Ghostly Array in an instant.’

’I’m here.’

After advancing several hundred yards, Ning Jiang came to a stop.

In his line of sight, a massive, square altar appeared. The altar was ancient and mysterious, spattered with bloodstains.

And upon the altar rested a huge, bloody heart!

’This aura... it’s identical to the things from that place...’
