Chapter 541: Reinforcements and the Devil Embryo
"The King-Destroying Heavenly Plate!"
Gazing at this divine object ranked sixth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, even the expression of the Yimo King instantly turned grim.
On the other side, Qing Zhi's expression was cold. With a wave of his hand, the gigantic cyan disk covering the sky began to rotate slowly. Within the cyan disk, a boundless ocean seemed to appear, radiating a soft cyan glow, quietly gathering a destructive force capable of annihilating heaven and earth.
Elsewhere above the cyan disk, the Heaven Underworld King and the two remaining Yimo Generals stared gravely at this scene. The reputation of the King-Destroying Heavenly Plate clearly intimidated them considerably.
"Hmph, the King-Destroying Heavenly Plate is formidable, but it requires Ancestral Symbols to activate its true power. You have only a single Flame Ancestral Symbol here. You dream if you think you can kill me!"
The Heaven Underworld King sneered. Black demonic Qi surged within his eyes, and the pair of devil wings behind him extended slowly, purple-golden patterns spreading across them and blotting out the sky.
Far away, Qing Zhi clenched his hand. The enormous cyan disk spanning tens of thousands of feet suddenly trembled gently, its center beginning to shimmer, revealing a small cyan jade plate about the size of a palm. This jade plate resembled a full moon, crystalline, translucent, and astonishingly beautiful.
"Mo Luo."
As soon as the ancient cyan jade plate appeared, Qing Zhi looked toward Mo Luo. The latter nodded solemnly, and a flame symbol emerged from his forehead, instantly igniting. A fiery-red beam shot through the sky, merging directly into the cyan jade plate.
Buzz!
As the fiery beam entered the cyan jade plate, mysterious runes emerged silently on its surface, revealing an intricate and ancient pattern.
"You dare call it the King-Destroying Plate with just one Ancestral Symbol empowering it?" The Heaven Underworld King laughed mockingly upon seeing this.
Qing Zhi remained indifferent, eyes closing gradually. An intangible ripple silently emanated from the cyan jade plate.
On the ground, amidst the city's rubble, Lin Langtian raised his head to look at the cyan disk covering the sky. All scenes above had been blocked from view, the surroundings plunged into darkness. All forms of light vanished at this moment.
But soon after, Lin Langtian sensed a strange ripple spreading from the space around him, enveloping both him and Lin Dong.
Under the effect of this ripple, the two Ancestral Symbols within Lin Langtian and Lin Dong trembled slightly.
"Little friend Langtian, little friend Lin Dong, relax yourselves. I must borrow the power of your Ancestral Symbols to kill the Heaven Underworld King!"
At that moment, Qing Zhi's voice suddenly resonated in their ears. Lin Langtian and Lin Dong glanced at each other and nodded simultaneously, both releasing the suppression on the Ancestral Symbols within their bodies.
Buzz!
As their resistance disappeared, black and silver lights, along with a thunderous glow, burst from their bodies and vanished instantly.
"As expected from something ranked sixth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking," Lin Langtian praised quietly. He clearly felt the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and Space Ancestral Symbol within him significantly weakened after this extraction.
Lin Dong also seemed similarly affected. Observing this, Lin Langtian glanced toward Mu Lingshan, who stood nearby.
Destroying a Yimo King required at least four Ancestral Symbols. If he hadn't intervened, Mu Lingshan would have had to contribute her Life and Death Ancestral Symbol. Now, however, there were sufficient Ancestral Symbols present—one extra, in fact—assuring the battle's imminent end.
High in the distant sky, Qing Zhi stood upon the cyan disk. In front of him, four streams of radiant energy emerged from below, swiftly merging into the small jade plate. Seeing two identical Devouring Ancestral Symbols among these streams, Qing Zhi couldn't help but show surprise.
Though Mo Luo had already informed him of Lin Langtian's secret regarding copying the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, witnessing it firsthand astonished him. Creating an Ancestral Symbol—this was a legendary feat achieved only by the Symbol Ancestor himself.
Considering this alongside Lin Langtian's mastery of Yimo power, Qing Zhi's curiosity about this mysterious young man grew further. However, now wasn't the time for contemplation. With the power of the Ancestral Symbols gathered, the moment to destroy the Yimo King had arrived!
Buzz!
As the four energies entered the jade plate, it trembled violently. Complex ancient runes fully illuminated the jade plate, causing space itself to distort and shatter, sending out subtle but terrifying ripples.
"King-Destroying Runes?!"
The Heaven Underworld King's expression drastically changed when he recognized these complex runes, shouting in disbelief, "Impossible!"
"So you planned this from the start, Qing Zhi, securing four Ancestral Symbols for the King-Destroying Heavenly Plate!"
Qing Zhi smiled, watching the panicking Heaven Underworld King. "When a Yimo King appears, of course, I must greet him properly."
"Retreat!" The Heaven Underworld King ordered decisively. The two Yimo Generals beside him immediately nodded, sensing genuine death approaching from the translucent cyan plate. Even for beings like themselves, such a feeling was unmistakable.
Devilish energy exploded outward, and as their massive wings flapped, the space behind them tore open, ready to escape.
"Want to leave?" Mo Luo sneered. Scarlet flames roared forward, forming a sea of fire, instantly blocking their escape routes.
Qing Zhi calmly performed countless complex hand seals, causing the massive cyan disk to align and target the Heaven Underworld King.
"King-Destroying Heavenly Plate: King Annihilation."
A soft voice echoed from Qing Zhi, filling the sky with fierce killing intent.
Buzz!
The cyan jade plate shook intensely. Its runes writhed like living worms, converging power toward its center. Suddenly, a head-sized beam of crystalline cyan light shot out.
Whoosh!
The cyan beam appeared beautiful and delicate, seemingly slow yet impossible to dodge. As it approached, genuine terror emerged on the Heaven Underworld King's face.
The King-Destroying Heavenly Plate was designed specifically to annihilate Yimo Kings!
With a savage snarl, the Heaven Underworld King suddenly seized his two subordinates beside him, throwing them forward without hesitation.
Before the two Generals could react, the cyan beam effortlessly pierced their heads, leaving a neat hole as their life force instantly dissipated. Both Yimo Generals died immediately, their bodies cracking apart into dust.
However, the cyan beam did not slow, continuing toward the Heaven Underworld King.
"Qing Zhi, you can't kill me that easily!" the Heaven Underworld King roared furiously. Purple-golden devilish patterns surged from his body, exploding violently.
"Ten Layers of Hell Miasma!"
A surge of corrupted demonic energy burst forth, forming ten massive hell gates in front of him.
Boom! Boom!
Yet, the cyan beam tore through these gates effortlessly, shattering them one by one. Eventually, it broke through the final gate and shot directly through the Heaven Underworld King's heart.
Bang!
The Heaven Underworld King froze, staring in shock at the gaping wound on his chest, filled with cyan fluid rapidly corroding his insides, obliterating his devilish energy.
"Qing Zhi, don't get too cocky!"
With one final roar, the Heaven Underworld King's body exploded, sending a wave of immense devilish energy outward, forcing Qing Zhi and Mo Luo to retreat rapidly.
Amidst this chaos, a black, heart-shaped object surrounded by purple-golden patterns appeared—the Heaven Underworld King's Devil Embryo, swiftly attempting to escape.
"Did you think this would fool me?" Qing Zhi suddenly appeared, smiling coldly as he pointed a finger forward. A cyan beam shot out, striking the Devil Embryo.
"You!"
The Heaven Underworld King screamed in rage and fear. Losing his physical form weakened him significantly, making resistance futile.
"Save me!"
A piercing scream emitted from the Devil Embryo as Qing Zhi's massive cyan dragon claw descended, poised to eradicate it completely.
Just as the claw approached, space shattered, and two enormous devilish hands reached out from a massive black vortex behind, blocking Qing Zhi's attack.
Lin Langtian frowned at this sudden interference—reinforcements from the Yimo?
However, at this moment, the Devil Seed within him suddenly trembled violently, expressing intense hunger toward the Heaven Underworld King's Devil Embryo.
His Devil Seed had taken an interest!
