Chapter 853 - 854: Ascension Beneath the Sea
Of course, the idea is good, but who can say if it will turn out as expected?
At this moment, Lin Kuang pushed Fleeting Light and Shadow to its limit, yet even so, he was still over three hundred meters away from the Demon Lord.
At this distance, even if Lin Kuang used the Imperial Dragon Sword Technique, it would be useless, as because of the distance, the Black Dragon Sword couldn’t harm the Demon Lord.
This made Lin Kuang a bit agitated; at this point, all he wanted was to stall the Demon Lord and engage in battle with him.
Lin Kuang was agitated, but the Demon Lord was even more so. He was just a hair’s breadth away from a breakthrough, yet he couldn’t calm down enough to actually achieve it; the feeling was excruciatingly frustrating.
Especially with Lin Kuang relentlessly pursuing from behind, the Demon Lord wished he could eliminate him right away, but he couldn’t, making the Demon Lord’s mood even more agitated than Lin Kuang’s.
Finally, unable to bear it anymore, the Demon Lord suddenly exerted his strength, causing the ice beneath his feet to explode.
The Demon Lord took advantage of this opportunity to swiftly sink into the sea, diving directly into the cold water.
Upon seeing this, Lin Kuang frowned and quickly appeared where the Demon Lord had entered the water, and without hesitation, he too dove into the sea.
The bone-chilling water didn’t mean much to Lin Kuang and the Demon Lord; after all, their bodies had been transformed by the Force of Nature, and this level of cold couldn’t harm them.
At this moment, the Demon Lord rapidly sank to the sea bed, hiding beneath a massive block of ice.
Lin Kuang continued his search; he had to find the Demon Lord in time, or everything would be over.
However, being underwater, it was pitch black, and it hindered Lin Kuang’s Perception, making his search extremely difficult.
Minutes passed and Lin Kuang still hadn’t found the Demon Lord, making him increasingly anxious.
"Damn it, where exactly is this guy hiding?!"
Lin Kuang roared in his heart, searching frantically.
Meanwhile, under the ice, the mysterious aura surrounding the Demon Lord was growing stronger, filled with a dense Force of Nature.
The only disappointment for the Demon Lord was that he couldn’t convert his True Qi into Profound Qi, which was a frustrating matter for him.
However, at this moment, the Demon Lord didn’t care, because he was about to break through. Once he did, even with just True Qi, Lin Kuang and the others would stand no chance against him!
"Lin Kuang, Nameless Old Man, Nangong Wentian, this time, all of you are going to die. This time, the entire Ancient Martial Realm will belong to my Demon Sect!"
The Demon Lord thought excitedly.
After so many years, his original wish was finally about to come true, and this was incredibly exciting for the Demon Lord.
Just then, the water around the Demon Lord began to churn violently, surging upward like steam.
The Demon Lord was enveloped in a dense True Qi, and a mysterious power swept through his body.
Even Lin Kuang could feel it, due to the immense scale of this power.
Feeling the terrifying power, Lin Kuang’s expression turned exceedingly grim.
"It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over; the Demon Lord has broken through!"
Lin Kuang thought grimly.
Nonetheless, Lin Kuang didn’t hesitate any longer, charging directly towards where the Demon Lord was located.
Given the circumstances, the only option was to fight. Only by killing the Demon Lord would there be a fundamental resolution; otherwise, everyone in the Righteous Path would likely fall into the Demon Lord’s clutches.
At this moment, the Demon Lord was extremely excited; he had finally succeeded. The realm he had long desired to enter was now his!
"So this is the power of the Void Realm? This feels incredible!"
Standing silently in the water, the Demon Lord said with a face full of pleasure.
After the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm comes the Void Realm, a realm that is elusive and hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.
At this time, Lin Kuang rushed over, seeing the Demon Lord standing in the water and sensing the changes in him made Lin Kuang’s face turn extremely grim.
"Indeed, indeed he broke through."
Lin Kuang muttered, looking at the Demon Lord in front of him.
Seeing Lin Kuang appear, the Demon Lord’s gaze fell on him, and a playful smile appeared on the face hidden behind the mask.
"Lin Kuang, I must say, your growth is truly amazing. In such a short time, you’ve reached this level, and you can even pose a threat to me. You are indeed impressive.
But it’s a pity that I have broken through, which must disappoint you.
However, if you are willing to join my Demon Sect now, it’s not too late. As long as you join, you’ll be second only to me."
Looking at Lin Kuang, the Demon Lord said with a smile.
He did indeed admire Lin Kuang; if Lin Kuang could become his ally, he would be more than willing to accept him as a subordinate.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang sneered coldly, "Demon Lord, stop dreaming. At worst, it’s just death!
Thinking that I would join your Demon Sect is wishful thinking. Even if I die, I won’t join!"
"You are such a stubborn person."
The Demon Lord said, shaking his head.
"Very well, since you wish to die, I’ll send you on your way."
The Demon Lord said calmly, then with a wave of his hand, an invisible stream of water rushed towards Lin Kuang.
Sensing the flow of the water, Lin Kuang’s face changed, and he immediately raised the Nameless Sword in front of him.
At the same time, Lin Kuang’s Profound Qi burst forth, channeling into the Nameless Sword to block the stream of water.
However, as the water met the Nameless Sword, Lin Kuang’s face turned extremely grim.
Because the power carried by this water flow was terrifying, and Lin Kuang couldn’t withstand it.
In an instant, Lin Kuang’s body was forcefully pushed back, retreating over a hundred meters.
Simultaneously, blood trickled from the corner of Lin Kuang’s mouth, his face turning somewhat pale. This single strike from the Demon Lord had injured Lin Kuang, and quite severely!
At this moment, the Demon Lord had somehow appeared in front of Lin Kuang, looking at him calmly.
"Lin Kuang, do you now feel my strength? This is the power of the Void Realm; you, a Martial Artist who hasn’t even reached the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm, are no match for me.
I ask you again, are you willing to join the Demon Sect? If you join now, I will still take you in."
Looking at the severely injured Lin Kuang, the Demon Lord said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang’s gaze turned cold, "Dream on!
Even if you say it again—or a hundred or a thousand times—I will never agree, and I will never join your damn organization!"
Hearing this, the Demon Lord calmly nodded, "Very well, very well. Since you refuse, then don’t blame me. Now, I will send you to your end!"
Saying this, the Demon Lord’s gaze instantly turned icy cold.
The next moment, a terrifying stream of water rose around Lin Kuang, hitting him viciously and sending him soaring into the sky!
In an instant, Lin Kuang was hit by the water stream, crashing out of the sea, and landing hard on the ice surface!
