Chapter 737: The Sovereign Demon Body Displays Its Might Once More
Pitch-black flames of annihilation, heavy with sinister intent, rolled in from the horizon, mingling with black thunder, black ice, and eight other elemental forces.
Where these eight attributes passed, the storm of power churning with murderous aura melted away like snow meeting molten lava, obliterated in an instant.
Everyone looked up to see a colossal shadow striding through the air, the eight attributes swirling constantly around its form in a spectacular display.
Countless onlookers were left staring, mouths agape.
"That's… that's Lin Langtian's Sovereign Law Body!"
"What kind of Law Body is that? With fluctuations like these, it's definitely no ordinary one, but it doesn't look like any of the ninety-nine ranked Sovereign Law Bodies either."
"So strange. This Law Body actually holds so many different spiritual attributes. That's terrifying."
"What a sinister aura… how in the world did he forge a Law Body like that?"
…
The sky and earth filled with a rising tide of hushed whispers, laced with both shock and confusion.
The mysterious Sovereign Law Body before them had completely confounded their expectations.
Up in the sky, the three Elders were likewise staring in surprise at the strange Law Body, light flickering in their eyes.
"This Sovereign Law Body doesn't seem to be among the ninety-nine ranked ones," the Third Elder said in astonishment.
The Second Elder frowned slightly. "The ninety-nine rankings are authoritative, but heaven and earth are vast beyond measure. In some tiers of the rankings, multiple Law Bodies exist at the same level.
"There are powerful Sovereign Law Bodies that do not appear on the list at all. And some people, with extraordinary talent and fortunate encounters, can forge entirely unique Law Bodies."
The Great Elder nodded, stroking his beard with a smile. "Quite right. There are too many wonders in this world. The ninety-nine ranked Law Bodies do not encompass them all.
"Still, no matter how strong a Law Body is, it ultimately depends on the user's own strength. If the gap between two combatants is too great, not even the most powerful Law Body can bridge it."
He paused, then glanced at the two towering Law Bodies facing off in the sky. "But judging from the current scene, this strange and sinister Law Body should be enough to decide things."
Though Lin Langtian was only a Second Grade Sovereign, his combat power was on par with the Third Grade Sovereign Dong Kui.
Now that both had brought out their Sovereign Law Bodies, the Great Elder could clearly see that Lin Langtian held an absolute advantage.
The Third Elder chuckled at that, while the Second Elder's frown deepened slightly, though he made no further comment.
A clash at this level barely interested him.
Though Dong Kui belonged to the Calamity King's camp, if he proved this useless, then he had little value and could be discarded at will.
In the sky, Dong Kui stared in horror at the eerie giant form striding toward him, a storm of shock raging in his heart as he felt the crushing pressure emanating from it.
The sheer force of that aura made one thing clear: the Sovereign Law Body Lin Langtian had cultivated was far stronger than his Black Rhino Law Body.
"How is that possible?"
Dong Kui roared inwardly. He knew well how precious such a powerful Law Body was.
Despite all his years of risking his life for Calamity Palace, all he had earned was the method to cultivate the Black Rhino Law Body.
Yet the Sovereign Law Body Lin Langtian wielded now was actually superior to his own.
"Damn it… this brat came from a lower plane. How can he possess such a powerful Sovereign Law Body method?" Dong Kui's face had grown as dark as stagnant water.
"You think that just because you have a Law Body like that, you can defeat me? Keep dreaming!"
In the next moment, killing intent surged in Dong Kui's eyes like a tide. With a furious shout, his hands flashed through a new sequence of seals.
Boom!
Another storm of spiritual power erupted as the Falling Star Spear swelled suddenly, expanding to a thousand meters in length within moments, its momentum overwhelming.
"Falling Star Spear—Black Torrent Pierce!"
At his shout, waves of spiritual light rippled from the giant spear, radiating an unimaginably powerful aura.
It was obvious to everyone that Dong Kui was unleashing his final trump card.
In the blink of an eye, the thousand-meter Falling Star Spear shot forth like a spinning drill bit, sparks bursting from the air as it pierced through it. Like a meteor crashing down, it carried terrifying power as it hurled toward the Sovereign Demon Body.
Hum!
Just as the spear's horn-like black tip was about to strike, a colossal hand wreathed in pitch-black demonic ice stretched out and seized it in its grip.
Ssssss…
The giant hand clenched, and the black spear instantly began to freeze.
At the same time, demonic flames surged forth. As ice and fire alternated in rapid succession, cracks raced across the Falling Star Spear. Under the tightening grasp, it burst apart with a bang.
A collective gasp rippled across the gathered crowd.
No one had expected Dong Kui's fearsome strike to be neutralized so easily.
"Impossible!"
Dong Kui could not hold back a roar.
The Falling Star Spear had been forged from the blood of countless Black Rhino spirit beasts, each at the Sovereign realm.
Its toughness rivaled that of an ordinary divine artifact, yet it had just been crushed in one hand by Lin Langtian's Law Body.
Within the Sovereign Demon Body, demonic lightning surged in Lin Langtian's eyes, cold and merciless. He looked at Dong Kui as though gazing down at an insect.
If the Sovereign Demon Body was this overwhelming already, it was hard to imagine how powerful it would be once fully advanced.
Boom!
Lin Langtian's gaze remained indifferent as the titanic fist of his Law Body clenched and then slammed forward.
A wave of devouring force erupted as a pitch-black fist howled out, tearing through space in an instant to appear before Dong Kui and smash downward.
He had barely enough time to cross his arms before his chest.
An instant later, he felt a horrifying devouring force explode across his forearms.
Thud!
A dull boom shook the sky as the massive Black Rhino Law Body was driven back step after step in a humiliating retreat.
Boom!
The Black Rhino stomped down hard, cracking the Universe Gold Platform beneath it and barely managing to steady itself.
Dong Kui's eyes were now filled with only madness and rage.
To be driven back again and again before so many witnesses, he, the foremost of the five great Commanders, could barely contain his murderous fury.
"I must kill him!"
The roar echoed in his heart. He could not accept defeat at the hands of a mere newcomer.
Lin Langtian had to die.
Dong Kui's eyes turned blood-red as his hands formed seals at blinding speed. The Black Rhino Law Body erupted in a blaze of terrifying blood light, gouts of blood flame bursting from its body.
The Black Rhino now resembled a berserk beast utterly out of control, radiating a brutal aura of pure destruction.
"He's actually burning and sacrificing his Black Rhino Law Body? Even if he wins, it will take him half a year or more to rebuild it," Luo Lin and the others said, faces changing.
Dong Kui truly intended to win at any cost.
Over at Silver Mist Palace's platform, Mu Honglian's hands clenched, her pretty face tight with anxiety. Even Jiang Yinlan's delicate brows knit together as her expression grew ever colder.
She had not expected Dong Kui's killing intent for Lin Langtian to run this deep.
Her jade-like fingers tightened around her sword. It was clear that if Lin Langtian encountered any danger, she intended to intervene immediately.
She could see that Lin Langtian was gradually becoming the very backbone of Silver Mist Palace.
"Rampaging Rhino Charge!"
Dong Kui's furious roar shook the sky as a torrent of killing intent exploded outward. The massive Black Rhino turned into a rampaging beast and charged at Lin Langtian with incredible speed.
Where the black rhino passed, the ground trembled, the golden platform shattered, and even space split into jagged cracks.
The earth below was torn into gashes like bottomless ravines.
Lin Langtian watched the crazed Black Rhino thunder toward him at frightening speed. Even then, he made no move to dodge. Instead, his massive hand slowly curled into a fist.
"Then let me show you the true power of the Sovereign Demon Body."
The words echoed quietly in his heart.
His eyes sharpened as a terrifying force erupted from his palm.
Within his hand, eight demonic lights flickered—lightning, darkness, ice…
"Eightfold Demonic Spirit Palm!"
The low shout thundered through Lin Langtian's heart.
The enormous palm, infused with eight different elemental energies, lashed out, tearing through space as it crashed straight into the charging Black Rhino.
Boom!
The two forces met with an explosion of demonic light that swallowed heaven and earth. Countless eyes widened in that instant.
In such a clash of life and death, who would prove stronger?
