Chapter 767: Hope (Two in One)_3
Inside this fortress, Meng Weiyun's power and concepts could be amplified to the extreme, and even those three Purgatory Prince level demons could barely resist.
Under Meng Weiyun's endless and ever-changing sword light, they were struck as if by lightning, with deep wounds being torn open on their bodies, spilling scarlet demonic blood into the void.
Yet, they looked at Lin Rui, their eyes full of joy: "The Regent of the Great Song, Lin Hao! It really is you, you actually dared to come to the Sky Pond—"
The words of the three Purgatory Prince level demons hadn't fallen before their expressions dramatically changed.
Only because in the distance, Lin Hao had already completed the refinement of Blood Qi, and with a swing of his blood-colored wings, a gigantic blood-colored Battle Dragon condensed and formed in front of him.
That blood-colored Battle Dragon swung a fist at them, shattering the surrounding Time Sequence Void with a tremendous Astral Force.
Even more terrifying was the spirit impact from that Battle Dragon, which almost instantly crushed their spirits.
At this moment, five words appeared in their minds — Spiritual Sky Dragon!
It was one of the three National Guardian Dragons of the Great Song, the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon.'
Lin Hao's Blood Evil Secret Technique could guide nearly ninety percent of the power of the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon' here, reaching the Ninth Realm Emperor Rank!
Ninth Realm Emperor Rank was roughly equivalent to their power, but the issue was that the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon' was not just Ninth Realm Emperor Rank; it also had the Longevity level concept 'Penetration' at 80% strength!
Boom!
Just as their minds were nearly shattered by the Penetration, Lin Rui pointed forward with his hand.
The National Seal behind him pressed down like a mountain, crushing the three Purgatory demons into bloody pulp.
However, Lin Rui frowned, failing to harvest the soul power points of these three candidate Divine Envoy level demons, nor did he harvest their souls.
Lin Rui instantly understood that these three must have used some secret technique to save their lives, and he secretly lamented the missed opportunity.
If he could have harvested the souls of these three in one fell swoop, his Blood Evil Secret Technique 'Blood God Wings' would be complete, with even greater Divine Power.
Lin Rui then nodded to Meng Weiyun: "Senior Sister, we'll talk later."
He and Meng Weiyun's alien forms could meet anytime at the Ninth Base, or they could chat via quantum communication.
Lin Rui's figure then exited the fortress dreamily, rushing swiftly towards the sky pool passage's exit in the distance.
Just because Lin Rui sensed another intense godly presence, along with pitch black darkness, spreading rapidly from afar.
If he stayed in the fortress any longer, he would surely die.
Halfway, Ma Tianlong flew in to meet him, taking Lin Rui's figure through the void.
He spared no expense in True Yuan consumption, accelerating to the extreme.
Behind Lin Rui, darkness surged like a tide, with a suffocating pressure rapidly closing in, as if a boundless mouth in the rear cave was opening, pursuing.
At its center was a deep vortex, forcibly absorbing all surrounding light.
It was the aura of the 'Master of Devouring', one of the Three Gods of Purgatory—an indescribable pressure causing the surrounding void to twist and shatter, eventually being devoured.
In a way, its existence itself was a form of devouring—consuming light, sound, and all vitality, yet leaving an overwhelming oppressive sensation!
Expressionless, Lin Rui urged the two powerful concepts of the Imperial Jade Seal to their limits, suppressing the Master of Devouring in front of him, reducing its chase and devouring speed.
What caught Lin Rui's attention was a blood-red figure in the boundless darkness below, like an indomitable light piercing the endless darkness, charging towards him.
Lin Rui squinted, recognizing it as the 'Heavenly Respect of Hope', one of the Three Gods of Purgatory.
—that is the light of hope born from darkness, a powerful Heavenly Venerate wielding forces of hope and slaughter.
This god's conceptual power, like Senior Sister Meng's Martial Intent, could twist reality.
The surrounding environment around Lin Rui was changing, with the originally wide and unimpeded sky pool passage closing rapidly under this person's power.
Until the next moment, a bell sounded inside the sky pool.
"Clang!"
The colossal bell sound forced the two gods' chase to come to a halt, and they faintly groaned before retreating back into the darkness below like a tide, shrinking back into the depths of the earth in an instant.
The Hope Heavenly Venerate then manifested, standing at the deepest part of the sky pool, looking up at the sky.
His body was tall and upright like a towering mountain, holding a massive blood-red long saber, clad in dark red battle armor covered with ancient runes, each inscription seemingly flowing with the intertwining force of blood and hope.
Beneath the helmet were eyes as deep as burning stars, exuding an endless killing aura along with a dawn seemingly capable of shattering the darkness.
"What a pity—"
Pity that he couldn't directly engage with Lin Hao, to see through this person's roots.
The Hope Heavenly Venerate still believed there was a significant connection between this person and Lin Rui, most likely the same individual.
Although all evidence opposed this notion, the Hope Heavenly Venerate's wild instinct still inherently believed so.
The Master of Devouring grunted angrily, crushing and devouring the nearby boulders.
Incredibly unwilling, Lin Hao had voluntarily entered the Sky Pond, yet he couldn't be detained.
To the chagrin, the Master of Devouring's two attempts failed to leave a hunting mark on Lin Rui and Lin Hao.
The Hope Heavenly Venerate squinted, recalling the bell sound just now.
That was the Eastern Emperor Bell—the power of the East Abyss growing stronger.
He then turned, expressionlessly walking in another direction: "Let's go, you'll have plenty of chances to face that Lin Rui, to devour His Pure Method, so why rush?"
The Hope Heavenly Venerate's eyes flashed with a ghostly light.
In truth, the Master of Devouring's chances were dwindling, as his principal 'Great Sun' accelerated the erosion of Lin Rui.
Simultaneously, they were urgently aiming to eliminate the threat of the 'Invincible Dharma King.'
Once the invincible is dead, the only chance of victory for Lin Rui and the seventh generation Sect Hierarch would vanish.
Currently, only the restraint and curtailment of all gods prevent them from taking action against the Invincible Dharma King.
Numerous gods did not wish to see invincibility die, even secretly aiding the Invincible Dharma King to extend his life, bestowing him with Divine Grace.
But now, the factors restraining and curtailing them were diminishing, and their time to eliminate the Invincible Dharma King had come—
