Chapter 507: Resurrection of the King-Level Yimo
"So, this is the Devouring World..."
Lin Langtian murmured softly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in the countless devouring black holes that filled the space around him.
As he stood there, he felt an innate sense of familiarity, likely stemming from the fact that this place was created by a previous wielder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, a power he currently possessed himself.
While Lin Langtian was deep in thought, continuous whooshing sounds echoed throughout the space. The numerous experts who had been inside the main hall now rapidly flooded into the Devouring World, observing their new surroundings with curiosity.
"So, this is the mysterious space hidden inside that statue... Who would've thought it'd be so vast?"
"I wonder what treasures might lie here. If I can obtain just one, I'll make a fortune."
"Be careful. I have a feeling this place is strange..."
The crowd whispered cautiously, their faces a mixture of astonishment, greed, and wariness.
Ao Xuan and Tang Xinlian similarly surveyed the area curiously, clearly realizing the extraordinary nature of the place.
Nearby, the three Yuan Gate chiefs briefly cast Lin Langtian cold glances before shifting their gazes into the distance, a sinister smirk appearing on their lips, as if plotting something.
Just then, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted within the Devouring World, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Lin Langtian's gaze quickly followed as well.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, a gigantic floating mountain slowly emerged from within a massive black hole tens of thousands of feet across.
However, the mountain's peak had been obliterated by some powerful force long ago, exposing its interior clearly.
Within the heart of the mountain lay a wide-open square.
Standing in the center of this square was a lone figure. Though unmoving, the mere presence of this person emanated an incomparably majestic aura that overwhelmed even the mightiest experts Lin Langtian had previously encountered.
Even Tang Xinlian gazed intently at the figure in the distance, her beautiful face turning serious as she murmured to herself, "Is that the renowned Devouring Emperor, who even Master Moro praised so highly?"
The huge square, once concealed within the mountain, was now fully exposed for all to see due to the peak's destruction.
The figure at the center immediately drew everyone's focus.
This was a man in a black robe, handsome and imposing. At first glance, he resembled a refined scholar, yet he radiated a terrifying aura capable of shaking heaven and earth itself.
The space surrounding him seemed to distort at will, bending according to his slightest intention.
Even those at the peak of Profound Death felt their Yuan Power tremble uncontrollably when gazing upon him.
As for weaker experts, some at half-step Profound Death directly vomited blood from the intense pressure, quickly averting their eyes in terror.
Just by looking at him, one's body could sustain injuries. How terrifying was this man's power?
This power exceeded even that of peak Samsara stage practitioners from the greatest sects. Therefore, only one possibility remained for this person's identity:
He was undoubtedly the legendary founder of the Devouring Palace, one of the strongest figures to have ever existed in the Chaos Demon Sea—The Devouring Emperor himself!
Silence overtook the entire Devouring World as everyone stared dumbfounded at this overwhelming figure.
This stunned silence lasted for quite some time before someone finally murmured tremblingly:
"That's… That's the Devouring Emperor!"
Their voices were filled with reverence and subtle greed. After all, the primary reason they had braved countless dangers to reach the Reincarnation Cave Mansion was precisely to inherit the Devouring Emperor's legacy.
If one could obtain this inheritance, they would surely ascend to the highest ranks of the Chaos Demon Sea and perhaps even the entire Tianxuan continent, reaching the elusive Samsara stage or beyond.
"So, that man is the owner of the Reincarnation Cave Mansion—the Devouring Emperor…"
Even Lin Langtian felt deeply shaken as he stared at the black-robed figure. He had never encountered the first wielder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol—the original Devouring Master—but he instinctively knew that this figure before him was easily among the strongest he'd ever witnessed.
Aside from Aunt Ling, not even the Dark Hall's Hall Master could compare to this Devouring Emperor.
This man was a true Samsara stage powerhouse!
Behind Lin Langtian, Mu Lingshan and Liu Da's trio gazed upward in awe, their faces filled with profound respect.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The silent atmosphere quickly shattered as many experts finally overcame their initial shock, launching themselves forward toward the floating mountain without hesitation.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian waved to Mu Lingshan and Liu Da's trio, swiftly following suit.
As everyone rapidly approached the mountain, they suddenly noticed something strange near the Devouring Emperor's feet:
A half-zhang-sized pitch-black skull sat beneath the emperor's foot, completely corroded down to the bone. The Devouring Emperor appeared to be suppressing this eerie skull beneath his foot, giving the scene an unnerving atmosphere.
Despite its decay, the black skull exuded an intense evil aura, making every expert present feel an instinctual chill.
"Could that be… a Yimo?"
Lin Langtian frowned, sensing the malevolent energy emanating from the black skull. It seemed the Devouring Emperor had perished while fighting this extremely powerful Yimo.
Lin Langtian's vigilance rose sharply. Clearly, this was no ordinary enemy.
Although many were wary of the skull's malevolence, the allure of the Devouring Emperor's inheritance quickly overshadowed their caution.
"I advise everyone not to act recklessly," Tang Xinlian's cold voice suddenly warned. "We don't know what exactly transpired here. Should someone trigger something terrible, no one here might survive."
As Moro's direct disciple, Tang Xinlian clearly understood something about the Yimo's nature. She had undoubtedly recognized the Yimo skull at a glance.
The surrounding experts hesitated briefly, recognizing the logic in her warning.
However, Ao Xuan suddenly sneered, "Heh, Fire Fairy, do you perhaps plan on monopolizing the Devouring Emperor's inheritance?"
His animosity stemmed from her previous refusal to join forces against Lin Langtian. With such a tempting inheritance at stake, Ao Xuan couldn't care less about the hidden dangers.
This immediately sparked suspicion among other experts, some openly expressing dissatisfaction:
"Fire Fairy, you may be Moro's direct disciple, but Flame God Temple does not rule the entire Chaos Demon Sea! Do not be overly domineering."
Seeing resistance forming among the crowd, Tang Xinlian's expression grew solemn. She had come here specifically under Moro's orders to eliminate the Yimo. The last thing she needed was interference.
However, sensing her hesitation, the middle-aged expert from Flame God Temple quietly restrained her. Clearly, further argument would only provoke the crowd and backfire against them.
Lin Langtian also frowned, sensing something was amiss. Yet, with his Tianfu Sect's lack of influence in the Chaos Demon Sea, stepping forward would only invite unnecessary trouble.
Whoosh!
The stalemate broke instantly as several impatient experts at the early Profound Death stage abruptly charged forward, aiming directly for the Devouring Emperor's corpse, desperate to claim its inheritance.
More cautious experts silently allowed them to probe the danger first.
The group quickly reached the Devouring Emperor's remains, pulling it away from the sinister black skull.
Lin Langtian signaled Mu Lingshan and Liu Da's trio, tensing and ready for action.
Strangely, nothing happened. The experts collectively exhaled in relief, greedy eyes glittering as the atmosphere became charged with aggression once again.
Suddenly, three ghost-like figures appeared, violently striking down the early-stage Profound Death cultivators holding the emperor's body.
Bang!
Each blow carried immense deathly energy, instantly pulverizing their victims into bloody mist.
In mere moments, every Profound Death expert who had touched the corpse lay dead, shocking everyone present.
All eyes immediately locked onto the attackers—the three Yuan Gate chiefs!
"Damn you, Yuan Gate! What the hell are you doing?!" enraged experts shouted. Was Yuan Gate courting death by provoking everyone?
Yet the three chiefs only smiled sinisterly. The Heaven Chief coldly glanced at Lin Langtian, raising his sleeve and causing the bloody mist of the slain cultivators to swirl into the air.
Shockingly, the supposedly lifeless body of the Devouring Emperor suddenly opened its mouth, swallowing all the blood into itself.
The eerie sight caused everyone present to feel an icy terror.
"What… What just happened?!"
A suffocating silence gripped the Devouring World.
However, Lin Langtian suddenly realized what was occurring, his expression changing drastically as he glared at the Yuan Gate trio in disbelief.
"Damn it, these bastards! They're actually trying to resurrect this King-Level Yimo. Yuan Gate… You've truly lost all humanity..."
