Chapter 491: Erasure and Conversation
"What motivates these creatures is merely the Demonic Fire within their bodies. As long as we erase this Demonic Fire, they will collapse on their own."
"Demonic Qi is an extremely evil power that's difficult to erase. However, I believe that the Chaos Demonic Flame's strength is sufficient to wipe it out!"
Lin Langtian stared at the twelve shriveled figures, his eyes flickering slightly as he thought inwardly.
He understood that if he stopped moving, he would inevitably be dragged down by these withered figures, making it extremely difficult to escape afterward.
Thus, he must first take care of these withered figures!
Chaos Demonic Flame had existed since the beginning of the primal chaos, known as one of the strongest flames on the Tianxuan Continent. Though later corrupted by Demonic Qi from general or even king-level demons, its power remained formidable.
Therefore, Lin Langtian was eighty percent confident in using the Chaos Demonic Flame to erase the Demonic Fire on these shriveled figures.
"Lingshan, be careful. I'm going to deal with these withered figures. Liu Da, the three of you take care of Lingshan," Lin Langtian softly said after glancing at the withered figures behind.
"Alright!"
Mu Lingshan nodded, excitement flickering in her large eyes. She clasped her hands together, and the massive Life-and-Death Coffin Lid emerged, black ripples slowly spreading across its surface.
As for Liu Da and his two brothers, they exchanged glances briefly before Liu Da respectfully said, "Master, let us help you."
Lin Langtian shook his head and replied, "Don't worry. I have a way to restrain these guys. Your involvement wouldn't make much difference."
Seeing Lin Langtian's confidence, the Liu brothers took a step back obediently. After all, Lin Langtian had achieved great renown in the Eastern Profound Region, earning their deep respect.
Lin Langtian's figure flashed forward, landing atop a crumbling mountain nearby. His hands quickly formed strange seals and abruptly pressed onto the ground.
"Triple Transformation of the Wood Emperor, second stage!"
A strange ripple spread rapidly outward. Within this miniature world, trees within a hundred-mile radius instantly withered, and streams of energy surged from them, ultimately entering Lin Langtian's body.
"Chaos Demonic Flame!"
With this tremendous energy absorbed, a black flame suddenly appeared in Lin Langtian's palm. Powerful Yuan energy crazily infused into it, causing the flame to rapidly expand into a massive black inferno hundreds of feet tall.
The black flames erupted, spreading out like a giant formation of fire.
Just as the flame formation was activated, twelve withered figures rushed from behind, carrying monstrous black flames, and charged straight into the formation.
"Now... it's time for the roles of hunter and prey to reverse."
Lin Langtian raised his head, gazing at the twelve shriveled figures entering the formation. An icy smile curved on his lips.
Boom! Boom!
The massive flame formation expanded across the sky. Powerful demonic energy surged like a tide, emitting a terrifying aura.
Whoosh!
When the flame formation was fully formed, the twelve shriveled figures also rushed in without any hesitation or intelligence, directly plunging into the formation.
Hum!
As soon as they entered, the flame formation emitted a howling sound. Powerful energy transformed into countless black beams, intertwining into nets that instantly entangled all twelve figures.
Roar!
Encountering resistance, these withered figures immediately let out beast-like roars. The black flames covering their bodies swiftly surged outward, burning fiercely toward the black beams entangling them.
Sizzle, sizzle!
Though the black flames were fierce, upon touching the black beams, they only caused the beams to tremble slightly, unable to immediately dissipate them. Evidently, the Chaos Demonic Flame's power was not to be underestimated.
"Hmph, let's see whose Demonic Qi is stronger!"
Watching these struggling figures, Lin Langtian smiled coldly. His hands swiftly changed seals, and terrifying demonic energy surged from the formation. Crystalized threads of demonic flame materialized, covering the beams and greatly strengthening the restraint.
With this support, the black flames from the shriveled figures became ineffective, suppressed by the Chaos Demonic Flame.
Low beast-like roars echoed continuously from the withered figures, resonating across the skies.
These figures clearly underestimated the power of the Chaos Demonic Flame. The energy within was not ordinary Yuan energy but a purer, stronger Demonic Qi.
Thus, even the sinister black flames surrounding their bodies failed to achieve their earlier destructive effects. Instead, they were greatly suppressed, as though facing a superior power.
"Whew."
Seeing the temporarily restrained figures, Lin Langtian lightly exhaled.
Fortunately, the Chaos Demonic Flame combined with the absorbed energy from the Wood Emperor's Triple Transformation provided strong suppression. Otherwise, holding down these twelve Death Profound Realm small-stage corpses would have been impossible.
Now restrained, the demonic crystal threads began relentlessly devouring the Demonic Qi from these corpses.
The Chaos Demonic Flame itself originated from the fusion with Demonic Qi, hence it could perfectly consume all the Demonic Qi from the corpses without resistance.
Once the Demonic Qi was completely consumed, these twelve figures posed no threat at all.
"Brother Langtian, you can use that black flame too?" Nearby, Mu Lingshan was astonished seeing Lin Langtian swiftly subdue these corpses.
Though she didn't understand the Demonic Qi, the sinister feeling it emitted was unsettling even to her.
What surprised her further was that Lin Langtian's black flame was even stronger than the ones possessed by those figures.
Even the Liu brothers were astonished. The twelve Death Profound Realm small-stage corpses were extremely tough, impervious to pain, and even their combined efforts couldn't defeat them. Yet, Lin Langtian handled them easily.
"Hehe, this is Chaos Demonic Flame, not ordinary fire," Lin Langtian explained lightly, smiling.
Everything indeed had a counterbalance. These corpses happened to be perfectly countered by the Chaos Demonic Flame. Otherwise, dealing with twelve Death Profound Realm small-stage corpses directly would have been beyond his ability.
Roar!
As Lin Langtian conversed, the twelve corpses suddenly emitted deafening roars filled with fear. They struggled fiercely, desperately attempting to break free.
Lin Langtian's expression turned solemn, hurriedly increasing the strength of the Chaos Demonic Flame to thoroughly suppress the corpses. He knew this was a crucial moment, and mistakes could lead to disaster.
Boom!
The Chaos Demonic Flame erupted again, further suppressing the corpses. Simultaneously, the demonic crystal threads intensified their absorption of Demonic Qi.
Gradually, the black flames surrounding the corpses disappeared, absorbed and incinerated at astonishing speed.
Soon, the Demonic Qi within completely vanished.
Boom!
Without the Demonic Qi, the corpses exploded into ashes, drifting downward gently.
Lin Langtian exhaled, eyes shining as he spotted twelve black pills hovering mid-air, radiating potent deathly aura.
"Death Silent Pills!"
Eyes burning, Lin Langtian quickly collected them. Each pill was worth tens of millions of Yuan pills—a significant harvest.
Nearby, Mu Lingshan stared at him, eyes glittering with admiration. Even her clan's elders would struggle with these corpses, yet Lin Langtian had resolved them swiftly.
As Lin Langtian was about to speak, sudden applause rang out.
"Impressive, actually erasing Demonic Qi…"
Turning, Lin Langtian saw a group led by a graceful woman in red armor—Tang Xinlian from the Flame Divine Hall.
"Oh, Miss Tang," Lin Langtian greeted politely, recognizing her status.
"Master Lin, there's no need for such courtesy. Given your status, it's rather uncomfortable," Tang Xinlian replied, smiling charmingly.
"You know who I am?" Lin Langtian asked, brows raised.
"The Chaos Demonic Flame is famously difficult to control. Rumor says it's with a certain disciple from Yuan Gate. Recently, we heard that a disciple named Lin Langtian founded Tianfu, openly opposing Yuan Gate. I assume that's you."
Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly at her detailed knowledge, impressed by Flame Divine Hall's intelligence.
"Don't worry, our Flame Divine Hall bears no ill intent," Tang Xinlian reassured with another alluring smile. After brief pleasantries, she led her group away.
Watching her departure, Lin Langtian felt uneasy, suspecting Tang Xinlian had ulterior motives. He shook off the thought, focusing instead on the treasures yet undiscovered deeper within the cave…
