Chapter 540: Subduing General Wolf Devil
A pillar of dazzling light descended from the sky, forming a tangible prison around General Wolf Devil, whose body was now tightly bound by black-silver chains.
These chains pierced through his body, digging deeply into his flesh and even hooking into his bones, rendering him utterly helpless. The proud Wolf Devil General had now become nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter!
However, at that very moment, the Evil Eye at Lin Langtian's forehead suddenly stirred with intense greed, expressing a strange hunger toward General Wolf Devil.
"Oh? The Evil Eye wants to devour and subdue this Wolf Devil General?"
Feeling the peculiar sensation from the Evil Eye, Lin Langtian was momentarily stunned, but he quickly grasped its intention, muttering in astonishment.
General Wolf Devil was a genuine General-level expert of the Yimo race, whose strength was comparable to a human practitioner at the Samsara Stage, equal to Flame Divine Hall's Great Elder and Mu Lan. Even Tang Xinlian had to mobilize the entirety of Flame Divine Hall's forces, coupled with Lin Langtian's assistance, to merely restrain him. Such a powerful entity was already challenging enough to seal, yet the Evil Eye actually wished to control it?
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian initially felt incredulous. However, recalling the extraordinary origin of the Evil Eye, his doubts gradually dissipated. After all, the Yimo race was only a second or third-tier extraterrestrial demonic race. Even their Demon Emperor wouldn't rank among the top experts in the Great Thousand World, let alone a mere General-level demon.
Perhaps, the Evil Eye could truly achieve this.
As this thought emerged, Lin Langtian licked his lips excitedly, his eyes blazing as he stared at General Wolf Devil.
Having a Yimo General under his command—such a formidable subordinate was indeed appealing.
Decisively, Lin Langtian gently closed his eyes. Simultaneously, the Evil God's Eye at his forehead slowly opened.
The moment the Evil Eye opened, the surrounding space instantly distorted violently. A supreme destructive force radiated outward, causing even General Wolf Devil to become frozen in shock, gazing with horror at the Evil Eye on Lin Langtian's forehead.
From that eye, he sensed a terrifying pressure surpassing even that of his Yimo Emperor!
Whoosh!
In the instant General Wolf Devil stood stunned, countless black chains suddenly shot out from Lin Langtian's Evil Eye. These chains pierced through space and wrapped themselves tightly around Wolf Devil's enormous body with lightning speed.
Roar!
Caught off guard, General Wolf Devil roared furiously, violently struggling against his bindings.
However, these black chains were far stronger than the previous black-silver chains formed from the combined powers of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and the Space Ancestral Symbol. More importantly, the overwhelming pressure emanating from them completely shattered General Wolf Devil's resistance, leaving him utterly unable to fight back.
Whoosh!
The countless black chains swiftly tightened, eventually shrinking down and forming a black cage merely several meters wide.
In the next instant, the cage turned into a flash of light and directly entered Lin Langtian's Evil Eye, carrying General Wolf Devil within.
After completing this, the Evil Eye closed slowly, as though exhausted. Subsequently, Lin Langtian's eyes reopened gradually.
He lightly touched the closed Evil Eye at his forehead and, sensing the changes within, murmured softly, "So, General Wolf Devil is now trapped? It seems even with the Evil Eye's power, subduing a single Yimo General is currently its limit."
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Langtian's face. He could clearly feel that General Wolf Devil was now completely sealed within the space of the Evil Eye. Like Sun Wukong trapped under Buddha's Five-Finger Mountain, he would never escape.
Given enough time under the Evil Eye's influence, General Wolf Devil would eventually submit completely to him.
Thinking that he had successfully obtained a General-level Yimo as a subordinate, Lin Langtian's lips curved into a pleased smile. This Thunder Competition had definitely been worthwhile.
High above, Tang Xinlian and the others were momentarily stunned by the sudden disappearance of General Wolf Devil, but soon afterward, she received Lin Langtian's telepathic message. Learning that Lin Langtian had completely dealt with General Wolf Devil, Tang Xinlian's previously tense and pale face finally revealed a relieved smile, and she almost lost her balance, nearly collapsing from exhaustion.
That previous battle had nearly drained every ounce of their strength.
Nearby, the four Flame Divine Hall armies also collapsed simultaneously, exhausted and drained of Yuan Power, their breaths weakened considerably.
Tang Xinlian herself appeared exceptionally pale. Despite her clear exhaustion, she quickly steadied herself and began calmly issuing orders to rotate and rest the four armies. Under her effective commands, Flame Divine Hall's top experts also took the opportunity to swiftly recover their Yuan Power.
Outside Flame Divine City, countless onlookers stared in shock at the Flame Divine Hall armies. Many showed admiration and respect when looking at the bright, beautiful figure standing high in the sky.
Although Tang Xinlian might not have been the strongest among Flame Divine Hall's top experts, it was undeniable that her perfect leadership had been essential in sealing such a terrifying opponent. Clearly, her contributions today were immense.
She truly deserved her title as Flame Divine Hall's Fire Fairy.
Everyone inwardly sighed in admiration. Although Lin Langtian had initially stolen most of the limelight during the competition, in today's even greater battle, Tang Xinlian was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence.
With such a capable successor, Flame Divine Hall's future seemed endlessly bright. Tang Xinlian's incredible talent guaranteed her eventual ascent among Flame Divine Hall's most elite experts. In time, if Mo Luo chose to step aside and entrusted her with the Flame Ancestral Symbol, Tang Xinlian would undoubtedly rise as a dominant and powerful queen, unrivaled throughout the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Standing in the sky, Tang Xinlian held the Phoenix Flame Spear, momentarily startled upon hearing the thunderous applause and cheers from outside the city. She soon lowered her gaze toward Lin Langtian, who was currently seated among the rubble, visibly exhausted.
Lin Langtian glanced up at her, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face. He silently raised a thumb in her direction. Even he had to admit that Tang Xinlian was extremely captivating at this moment.
Meeting Lin Langtian's gentle gaze, Tang Xinlian's cheeks flushed lightly. She understood that Lin Langtian's effort during this battle was no less than her own. However, instead of stepping forward to claim his rightful fame, he chose to remain quietly in the shadows, allowing her to bask in the full glory of victory.
He knew such recognition would greatly stabilize her status in Flame Divine Hall, significantly aiding her future as its potential leader.
This considerate man—no wonder she had chosen him.
Tang Xinlian softly bit her lip, an indescribable warmth filling her heart. Her usually valiant and heroic appearance was now replaced by a gentle, feminine beauty.
No matter what, once this crisis ended, if Lin Langtian did not provide her an answer, then she would decisively give him one herself…
On the other side, Lin Langtian leaned against the debris, breathing heavily. Continuous battles at Boundless Mountain and the subsequent sealing of General Wolf Devil had significantly depleted his strength. Even an iron body would inevitably tire.
"Brother Langtian, are you okay?" Lin Dong and Mu Lingshan quickly arrived by his side, worried expressions on their faces. They knew exactly how much Lin Langtian had sacrificed earlier.
Lin Langtian smiled reassuringly, though his pale complexion betrayed him.
At this moment, Tang Xinlian gracefully descended beside Lin Langtian, her eyes filled with tenderness. Noticing his exhaustion, her expression became filled with guilt and heartache. She swiftly approached him and gently helped him stand up.
Then, taking out a soft silk handkerchief, she meticulously and gently wiped away the dirt from Lin Langtian's hands—a scene reminiscent of their previous encounter within the Devouring World.
Lin Langtian accepted her gentle care openly, enjoying the soft and cool sensation of her delicate fingers against his skin.
However, he also felt a chill down his spine, keenly aware of the sudden stares of jealousy and the whispers spreading throughout the city.
"Is this attracting too much hatred?" Lin Langtian joked lightly.
Tang Xinlian calmly continued cleaning his hand, not even sparing him a glance as she replied softly, "This isn't my concern. It's your trouble now."
Her tone carried profound implications.
Their intimate scene immediately sparked excited whistles throughout the city, as countless eyes stared enviously at Lin Langtian's good fortune.
Watching this, Lin Dong recalled the cold, proud fairy from Taiqing Palace and sighed softly. Brother Langtian's luck with women truly was extraordinary.
"Thank you for your help. Now, let's hope Master and Senior Qing Zhi can handle the rest," Tang Xinlian whispered, gazing into the distant battlefield.
Far above, Qing Zhi smiled at the Yimo King. "Tian Ming King, it seems you're the first to lose…"
Mo Luo grinned fiercely. "Don't worry; capturing one General isn't enough to satisfy us."
Tian Ming King's expression darkened dangerously as Qing Zhi summoned an immense green disk.
"This is the King-Destroying Heavenly Disk," Qing Zhi calmly stated.
Hearing this, Tian Ming King's pupils shrank sharply, panic finally appearing on his face for the first time.
Mo Luo laughed heartily, his eyes glowing with excitement.
The legendary King-Destroying Heavenly Disk—it was a divine weapon capable of truly slaying a Yimo King!
