Chapter 1318: Mutual Destruction

Chu Linfeng suffered unprecedented heavy injuries this time, his entire body was a mass of flesh and blood, with a third of his muscles missing, and his body stained gold by the golden blood.

His internal organs were clearly visible and had ruptured several times already. If it were someone else, they might have died, but his resilience to life kept him far from death’s door.

The excruciating pain contorted Lin Feng’s facial muscles, and sweat as large as beans continuously dripped down. However, he didn’t let out a single groan of pain; he just found himself unable to rise despite his will to do so.

“I never thought the attack power of a Divine Monarch Realm expert would be so strong. With my current attack power and defense power, even I suffered such severe injuries. It seems I really underestimated him. Without me, the Immortal Realm might have been destroyed by this guy long ago. I don’t even know if I’ve managed to kill him,” Lin Feng muttered to himself.

The wood element within his body was frantically repairing Lin Feng’s body. This time, his injuries were too severe to recover quickly; preserving his life was already considered fortunate. Lin Feng struggled to get up but failed after several attempts, instead causing himself more pain.

Lin Feng was in such a sorry state, but the Yin Yang Demon Emperor was even worse off than he was. He couldn’t understand how an Early-stage Divine Monarch could be defeated by an Immortal at most in the Demigod Realm. It was something this body couldn’t comprehend.

He was still alive at this moment, but his enormous body was also a bloody mess, with more than half of his bones broken. Although this was a body he had possessed, his use of the devouring skill had transformed it into such a gigantic size, effectively binding his soul to this body.

The injuries also brought unbearable pain. Without the power of the Divine Monarch Realm, he would have been dead. His injuries were even heavier than Lin Feng’s, and even though he wasn’t dead, he was more dead than alive. When the after-effects of the devouring appear, it might just be his true demise.

Black blood pooled all around him, and he too attempted to get up but to no avail. He wanted to see if Lin Feng had been killed. After paying such a high price, if Lin Feng hadn’t been killed, it would be utterly unreasonable.

Although his body couldn’t rise, his divine sense could perceive. When the Yin Yang Demon Emperor extended his divine sense, he saw an astonishing scene: Lin Feng was not dead. At that moment, Lin Feng was sitting on the ground, recovering his body, with injuries severe but no life-threatening danger.

“How is this possible? What kind of monster is he, surviving under such powerful attack power? This is simply unbelievable,” the Yin Yang Demon Emperor mumbled with his mouth agape.

Seeing Lin Feng not only alive but recovering, he sensed danger. Perhaps today was indeed his death day. Dying at the hands of such a powerful opponent left him with little regret, but he was puzzled about why Lin Feng had such tremendous attack power. If he could figure this out before dying, he could die without regrets.

Time passed slowly, and Lin Feng’s injuries healed quickly, related to the Eighth Layer of his Star Body. Although his internal organs were still visible, his wounds had significantly reduced, and the bleeding had stopped.

Lin Feng knew he couldn’t recover in a short time. It was most important at this moment to kill the Yin Yang Demon Emperor; even if his true body perished, he wouldn’t die. He could always regenerate by forming an Elemental Giant Cocoon, though it would take a very long time—time he couldn’t afford while still in battle.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Feng stood up and slowly walked toward the Yin Yang Demon Emperor’s direction, each step painful as it aggravated his wounds.

Upon reaching the Yin Yang Demon Emperor and seeing him in an even worse state, Lin Feng laughed loudly, “So this is all the strength a Divine Monarch Realm expert has, to be defeated by an Immortal at the Late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. This is the biggest joke of all or the greatest shame for the Demon Realm. Yin Yang Demon Emperor, you have truly disappointed me. Didn’t you say today was my death day? Then come and fight me if you have the ability. Hahahaha! Why can’t you get up now? Do you want me to do a good deed and end your misery directly?”

“Chu… Chu Linfeng, don’t push me too far! Indeed, I lost to you today because my skills were inferior. I don’t understand why you can defeat me with Late-stage Immortal Emperor strength, knowing I’m a Divine Monarch Realm expert. The martial skill you used is something I’ve never seen before, so powerful it shouldn’t exist in the Immortal Realm. If I can find out the truth before I die, I can die with my eyes closed,” the Yin Yang Demon Emperor said.

“You want to know, but I’m just not telling you. Want to know the reason? It’s because you did something you shouldn’t have done. I wish I could tear you to pieces,” Lin Feng said, speaking while rapidly healing his injuries.

“Is it just because I initiated the Immortal-Demon War? The Immortal-Demon War has existed since ancient times; it’s not my fault. If that’s the case, then Lin Feng, you’re too petty. For a powerhouse to have such a nature is disappointing,” the Yin Yang Demon Emperor muttered breathlessly.

“The Immortal-Demon War doesn’t matter to me. Do you know who the person you possessed back then was? She was called Meng Ji, my woman. Because she belonged to the Lower Realm Demon Clan, she could only ascend to the Demon Realm. You, being among thousands, chose to possess her. Do you think you deserve to die?” Lin Feng said.

“Is that so? I indeed didn’t know. I was merely attracted by her beauty and intended to use her body as my own. No wonder you saved her body. But saving her was in vain, as her soul was devoured by me long ago. What you have is just her body; reviving her is impossible. Having your woman accompany me in death, I have no regrets. Do it! I hope you’ll grant me a quick end, rather than let the backlash make my death more miserable later!” the Yin Yang Demon Emperor said.

“Meng Ji’s soul was really devoured by you? You demon, I want to destroy you completely!” Enraged, Lin Feng was determined to do away with such people.

“If you spare the people of the Demon Realm, maybe I’ll tell you the truth; otherwise, you’ll never know the truth. I can only say I did not devour that woman’s soul. I sealed it in a place no one knows. She and I have no grievance, and she’s so beautiful. I certainly wouldn’t be ruthless to a flower. Think it over carefully yourself,” the Yin Yang Demon Emperor said.

“I thought you wanted me to spare you, but sparing you is impossible. Sparing your people might be considered. However, I need to hear the truth. You have no choice. Know that, having been defeated, you are already the eternal sinner of the Demon Realm. Even in death, you’ll be scorned by the people of the Demon Realm forever, a fate worse than death,” Lin Feng immediately said.
