Chapter 47 Demon Monarch
This was a mysterious entity within the Demon Pearl.
It had directly devoured the Artifact Spirits of two Tao Artifacts.
After losing their Artifact Spirits, the two Tao Artifacts lost much of their spirituality and fell to the ground.
"It feels so good…" said a pleased voice from that mysterious entity.
"Are you the one inside the Demon Pearl?" Lin Feng asked as he got up from the ground, looking uncertainly toward that mysterious entity shrouded in mist.
It was all hazy.
He couldn't see its face clearly.
"Two Tao Artifacts clashed, and you didn't faint?" the mysterious entity asked, surprised as it looked at Lin Feng.
But then it remembered that Lin Feng had cultivated the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.
His physical body must be extremely strong.
It seemed only natural that he could withstand the energy shock produced when the two Tao Artifacts collided.
"You underestimate the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique too much," Lin Feng said indifferently.
The mysterious entity then dissolved.
Clearly, it had retreated back into the Demon Pearl.
Lin Feng's Divine Sense followed closely, intruding into the Demon Pearl.
He discovered there were some changes inside the Demon Pearl.
There was now a world enveloped in white mist within the Demon Pearl.
Deeper into that world of white mist was a solitary grave.
And the mysterious entity was sitting in front of the grave, alone and silent, seemingly lost in thought.
"What exactly are you?" Lin Feng transmitted his voice.
But the mysterious entity didn't respond.
"Are you hiding in the Demon Pearl for a certain purpose? Are you perhaps planning to harm me? Are you peering into my body? Are you being hunted, so you dare not come out?"
Various questions were thrown out by Lin Feng.
But the entity within the Demon Pearl remained silent.
"Are you ignoring me?" Lin Feng couldn't help but say.
"I have no obligation to answer you. If you trade with me, I can answer your questions. One drop of Undying Divine Blood, and I can answer one question. How about it?" the mysterious entity suggested.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
Wishful thinking.
"Even if you don't answer me, you should at least let me know your name," Lin Feng said.
"Name... it's been so long I've almost forgotten it myself. I seem to be called the Demon Monarch!" the mysterious entity replied.
"Demon Monarch? That's a strange name," Lin Feng muttered.
"Don't recklessly intrude into the Demon Pearl with your Divine Sense. This is my territory, and without my permission, never do this again, or I will be displeased," the Demon Monarch sneered, then forcefully severed Lin Feng's connection with the Demon Pearl.
"Darn it, even the Demon Pearl is mine, you know?" Lin Feng grumbled.
The Demon Monarch seemed to have recovered a bit after devouring the two Artifact Spirits.
Although Lin Feng didn't know why the Demon Monarch chose to remain inside the Demon Pearl without leaving.
For now, the Demon Monarch hadn't posed any threat to him.
This gave Lin Feng a slight sense of relief.
He quickly ran toward the Heavenly Dragon Seal and the White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber.
The now spiritless Heavenly Dragon Seal and White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber were still powerful.
"It's a pity, losing the Artifact Spirits reduces their power by seventy to eighty percent. Nevertheless, they are still of Tao Artifact level, a hundred times stronger than treasures. Given time, they might even generate new Artifact Spirits," Lin Feng thought as he collected the Heavenly Dragon Seal and the White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber.
Then he looked around at the people nearby, checked a few, and found that many had died.
Clearly, they were killed by the residual energy waves emitted by the clash of the two Tao Artifacts.
Lin Feng inspected Shangyuan Daoist.
He found that Shangyuan Daoist wasn't yet dead.
Lin Feng then channeled Spiritual Energy into Shangyuan Daoist's body.
Following that, Shangyuan Daoist woke up.
The cultivation of Shangyuan Daoist was very powerful. He wasn't hurt, just knocked unconscious.
"Wuliang Taoist, I never thought it would lead to such slaughter," he said.
Shangyuan Daoist put his palms together in prayer.
Swoosh...
Suddenly, several figures sprang up and fled toward the distance.
It was Bai Wuming, Evil Flood Dragon Little Earl, and Yuu Jiaomei.
The three of them were all somewhat injured.
When they woke up, they sensed Lin Feng and Shangyuan Daoist's presence and discovered that these two weren't injured.
They feared an attack from Lin Feng and Shangyuan Daoist.
Why linger any longer? They turned and fled.
Seeing the fleeing group, Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow.
However, he did not pursue them.
The three were too strong.
A wounded beast is the most dangerous.
Lin Feng was very aware of this.
Pushing those three too hard...
In a desperate counterattack, he and Shangyuan Daoist could end up dead.
"Taoist, let's collect all the storage rings from these dead bodies," Lin Feng said.
Shangyuan Daoist nodded, and together with Lin Feng, they began to collect the storage rings from the dead cultivators.
Those individuals certainly had many valuable items.
This was indeed a windfall.
Among the bodies, Lin Feng noticed Zhan Junhua, who was not dead yet but severely injured and had passed out.
Lin Feng fed Zhan Junhua a healing pill, then continued collecting storage rings.
By the time Lin Feng and Shangyuan Daoist had almost finished collecting the storage rings,
Jin Tianyu woke up.
Following him, Li Shangyuan, Qiu Jian, Pei Tianhong, and Li Yu'er also woke up one after another.
They had been protected by the Heavenly Dragon Seal, so they didn't die.
Lin Feng had an extremely poor impression of Jin Tianyu and the others.
To escape,
Jin Tianyu and others slaughtered nearly a hundred fellow cultivators who had experienced life and death with them to activate the Heavenly Dragon Seal.
This behavior was utterly appalling.
Even Demon Cultivators wouldn't do such a thing.
But Jin Tianyu and the others did.
Obviously, Shangyuan Daoist also despised Jin Tianyu and the others, giving a cold laugh when he saw them awake.
"Ah, where is the Heavenly Dragon Seal? My Heavenly Dragon Seal?" he roared upon waking, his face contorting.
It was a Tao Artifact.
Now, having lost the Tao Artifact,
there was no way he could explain upon his return.
Lin Feng picked up the unconscious Zhan Junhua, looked towards Shangyuan Daoist, and said, "This place is not suitable to stay long, we should go."
Shangyuan Daoist nodded, and together with Lin Feng, was about to leave.
"Hold it..."
Suddenly,
a cold shouting voice came over.
Jin Tianyu looked over coldly.
"What? Is there something?" Lin Feng asked, looking towards Jin Tianyu indifferently.
"Have you seen my Heavenly Dragon Seal?" Jin Tianyu asked.
Lin Feng had already obtained two Tao Artifacts.
Naturally, he wouldn't hand them over.
He originally didn't plan to bother with Jin Tianyu.
However, to keep their suspicious eyes off himself,
Lin Feng said, "We didn't see the Heavenly Dragon Seal when we woke up, and besides, a Tao Artifact Level treasure with an awakened Artifact Spirit, even if seen, couldn't be taken by us. The Tao Artifact would instantly kill us, perhaps it flew off somewhere else."
"Hmph."
Jin Tianyu scoffed, his eyes scanning the densely packed corpses on the island, at least two thousand bodies.
But the storage rings from these people were all gone.
Jin Tianyu knew the storage rings had been taken by Lin Feng and Shangyuan Daoist.
With a feigned smile, Jin Tianyu said, "These peoples' storage rings, are you two planning to swallow them all?"
