Boom!
Demonic energy soared to the heavens, and from within the stone statue, a black demonic shadow emerged.
The strange laughter was emanating from this shadow!
"Gaga!"
"I, the Heavenly Demon, have finally awakened!"
The demon shadow laughed loudly, its tone filled with excitement.
"Heavenly Demon?"
Hearing the voice, Luo Wuqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked coldly at the demon shadow. "Are you the first leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
The first sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect?
Ning Tian was startled and looked at the spirit tablets on the altar behind the statue, indeed seeing the name carved on the very first tablet from the left.
The first sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon!
This guy was actually the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect. How many years had it been?
Ning Tian was shocked.
It must have been at least thousands of years. This old geezer was still alive?
Truly a bizarre creature!
"Gaga!"
The Heavenly Demon's gaze rested on Ning Tian, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes, "Indeed, a divine physique! I have waited tens of millions of years, and finally, descendants of the Heavenly Demon Sect have brought someone with the divine physique to me!"
Tens of millions of years?
It seemed thousands of years was an understatement!
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Wuqing's indifferent gaze settled on the Heavenly Demon, and at that moment, she suddenly realized something was amiss.
"Little girl, couldn't you understand that the rumor of the Heavenly Demon Sect's guide to godhood was a fabrication made up by your ancestor?"
"Ha ha ha!"
"If I hadn't done that, how could I have convinced you pawns of the Heavenly Demon Sect to willingly search for someone with the divine physique for me to possess?"
"But well, the previous sect leaders were all useless, not one of them found someone with the divine physique!"
As the Heavenly Demon spoke, he looked towards Ning Tian, licking his lips with a ferocious expression, a sharp light flickering in his eyes.
"But luckily, you found one!"
Unexpectedly, the so-called search for someone with the divine physique to obtain the Heavenly Demon Canon, a tenet passed down through generations of the Heavenly Demon Sect, turned out to be a mere fabrication by the Heavenly Demon!
The purpose was simply to aid his resurrection through possession!
"Are you seeking death?"
Even facing the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Luo Wuqing showed no mercy, her tone icy as ever.
Then, the aura of an emperor burst forth!
Instantly pressuring the Heavenly Demon!
Boom!
In an instant, the demon shadow dispersed!
"Such a powerful emperor level cultivation!"
Ning Tian was secretly shocked by the strength of Luo Wuqing's emperor-level aura.
The demon shadow was momentarily scattered, but quickly reformed.
"Gaga!"
"Little girl, even if you are a god emperor level powerhouse, you can't do anything to your ancestor!"
The Heavenly Demon let out a sinister laugh as demonic shadows flickered around him.
Within the stone cave, a ferocious wind continued to strike, and then streams of demonic energy constantly assaulted Luo Wuqing!
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort from Luo Wuqing, she flicked her hand for a palm strike, and spiritual energy surged immediately upon her jade palm!
A dark demonic palm struck out instantly!
This was the Heavenly Demon Palm!
Seeing Luo Wuqing use this move, Ning Tian's eyes widened.
Compared to the Heavenly Demon Palm he used, her move was infused with explosive power!
Tsk tsk tsk.
The strength of a god emperor level was indeed far greater!
"Gaga! The Heavenly Demon Palm, huh?"
The Heavenly Demon sneered coldly. "Little girl, I am much more proficient in this move than you are! Did you really think I would be afraid of you?"
"However, I am now in a soul state, I am not foolish enough to clash directly with you!"
Hearing his words, Ning Tian couldn't help but curl his lip. The Heavenly Demon talked tough one second and chickened out the next!
When Luo Wuqing's overwhelming spiritual energy formed a strike towards the Heavenly Demon, he suddenly moved, darting towards Ning Tian!
"Gaga!"
"My target is him!"
As the voice fell, demonic energy surged on the Heavenly Demon.
Thinking of his plan that had been in the making for tens of thousands of years and was about to be realized, the Heavenly Demon was ecstatic!
From tens of thousands of years ago, he fell on the path to godhood, and his unwillingness took the form of a demon shadow that entered the stone statue, and he even announced an ancestral decree: the one with the divine physique would find the guide to godhood!
But.
Unbeknownst to them, all of this was the scheming of the Heavenly Demon!
He believed that by possessing someone with the divine physique, even without the guide to godhood, he could step into the realm of gods!
"Ha ha ha! After tens of thousands of years, tens of millions of years, I have finally succeeded!"
"The realm of gods!"
"Here I come! Ha ha ha!"
The Heavenly Demon laughed loudly, instantly turning into a black shadow, rushing at Ning Tian!
Seeing the Heavenly Demon charging at him, Ning Tian did not show the panic one would expect. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips as he dispelled all his spiritual energy defenses.
You want to possess me?
Come at me then!
His demeanor seemed to be welcoming the Heavenly Demon's entrance.
In an instant, the Heavenly Demon entered the defenseless Ning Tian!
"Not good!"
Witnessing this scene, Luo Wuqing's cold brow furrowed as she struck towards Ning Tian, trying to force the Heavenly Demon out from inside him.
"Gaga!"
"I'm in, so why would I come out?"
Inside Ning Tian, came the cold laughter of the Heavenly Demon.
Instantly, a black light shield enveloped Ning Tian!
Bang!
Luo Wuqing's attack was blocked!
As the Heavenly Demon entered Ning Tian's body, Ning Tian's consciousness briefly paused.
Although the Heavenly Demon was only a soul, his strength was after all at the level of a god emperor!
Inside Ning Tian.
The Heavenly Demon transformed into a black soul energy, his face showing a cold smile, "So this is the body of someone with the divine physique! Simply marvelous, gaga!"
Thinking of possessing Ning Tian's body.
The Heavenly Demon couldn't contain his excitement; this was someone with the divine physique!
What Ancient Holy Body, Celestial God Body, those special physiques among the best, they all had to step aside before this!
"Gaga!"
"Heaven favors those who are diligent!"
"After tens of thousands of years, I have finally succeeded!"
The Heavenly Demon was thrilled.
At the moment, he was situated at Ning Tian's dantian.
The dantian is where cultivators store spiritual energy. As he looked around, seeing the dense sea of spiritual energy, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"An actual Linghai (Spirit Sea)?"
"This chap is a truly excellent cultivation genius! Heaven has not forsaken me!"
Suddenly.
He seemed to hear thunder rumbling.
Hmm?
Thunder?
The Heavenly Demon was startled, his brow creasing, and then he abruptly looked up, his face changing drastically the next moment!
Above the Spirit Sea!
One hundred and ninety-nine thunder tribulation veins had transformed into one hundred and ninety-nine thunder dragons, glaring at him with predatory eyes!
As a soul body, what he feared most was heavenly thunder tribulation!
Thunder tribulation could utterly annihilate a soul body!
"These are, thunder dragons?!"
"No."
The Heavenly Demon clenched his teeth, a look of horror flashing in his eyes, "No, this… this is this kid's spiritual veins!?"
The Heavenly Demon was internally dumbfounded, having never seen a cultivator's spiritual veins composed of thunder dragons, the heralds of tribulation!
"I must not stay in this kid's body!"
The Heavenly Demon intended to retreat, trying to rush out of Ning Tian's body.
But at this moment, the Spirit Sea surged, and the one hundred and ninety-nine thunder dragons attacked, instantly blocking all his escape routes.
Immediately afterwards, a voice of consciousness resounded.
"Old geezer, once you're in, it won't be so easy to get out!"
"You want to possess me?"
"I think you'd be better off becoming energy for my cultivation of the Divine Scripture!"
