The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 243 The Unexpected Joy of the Beast God's Demise

Although once sealed away, his grand plan to destroy the world would have to be postponed indefinitely.

But at least until he achieves his long-cherished wish, his life is not in real danger.

Thinking of this, a thick plume of black smoke suddenly rose from his entire body.

At the same time, his body began to gradually become blurry and illusory.

A moment later, time seemed to freeze. The enormous hand that had been suspended in the void had not yet truly fallen, but the Beast God's entire body was already completely enveloped in thick, inky black smoke.

In the blink of an eye, the Beast God's originally solid body completely transformed into an illusory state, as if it would vanish into nothingness at any moment.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

Just as the Beast God completed this series of actions at an astonishing speed, the giant hand in the void crashed down with overwhelming force.

In an instant, a deafening roar was heard, the earth trembled violently, as if a dragon had turned over, and billowing dust rose into the sky.

The powerful impact caused the buildings on Tongtian Peak to shake violently, some even trembling.

What's even more shocking is that this time it wasn't just one giant hand that came down, but several giant hands that slammed down one after another.

As a result, the earth-shaking tremors came wave after wave, lasting for quite some time before gradually subsiding.

As the dust and smoke slowly dissipated, everyone looked closely and saw that the large crater formed where the giant palm had landed had expanded considerably, while the figure of the Beast God had vanished without a trace.

For a moment, everyone present looked puzzled.

However, after waiting for a while, they still did not see the Beast God statue leap out of the pit as it had before.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt, Ling Feng flashed and quickly arrived at the side of the pit.

After Ling Feng stopped, he looked down into the pit.

Initially, visibility was not very clear because the pit was still filled with some smoke and dust.

But as a gentle breeze swept by, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the scene at the bottom of the pit finally came into Ling Feng's view.

When he could clearly see what was in front of him, Ling Feng smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

Below the bottomless pit, the Beast God lay weakly on the ground like a dying reptile.

The once powerful and terrifying aura has now become weak and listless, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Where is the trace of the arrogant and domineering demeanor from just now?

The Beast God seemed to sense something and slowly raised his head.

When he saw Ling Feng standing above him, a look of disbelief and despair flashed in his cloudy eyes.

With all his might, he managed to ask in a hoarse voice, like that of a broken bellows:

"Why...why were you able to attack me?"

Upon hearing the Beast God's question, Ling Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, but he did not answer the Beast God's question.

Should I tell him that the move I just used originated from a fantasy world?

It not only contains powerful physical attack power, but also possesses the terrifying power to directly attack the enemy's soul.

Otherwise, given the Beast God's bizarre state where its body had just become almost completely ethereal, ordinary attacks would not be able to cause it any damage.

Seeing Ling Feng remain silent, the Beast God, who was lying at the bottom of the pit, felt a strong sense of resentment and curiosity.

He wanted to continue asking questions, but he immediately dismissed the idea.

In his view, the reason why Ling Feng refused to speak must be that he had mastered some kind of extremely powerful special method that he was unwilling to show to others easily.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the Beast God's hideous and twisted face. He chuckled and said:

"Heh heh! So what if you can hurt me?"

I was born with the most malevolent energy in the world, existing in an invincible, immortal state. With your meager abilities, you can't possibly pose any real threat to me!

The guy shouted arrogantly, his face full of arrogance.

Hearing his arrogant words, Ling Feng showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he suddenly became interested.

A slight, disdainful sneer curled at the corners of his lips as he mocked:

"Oh? Is that so? Since you're so confident, I'd really like to try and see if I can break through your so-called immortal body!"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Feng flashed down like lightning, landing steadily at the bottom of the pit in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Ling Feng had made up his mind to finish the battle quickly, to eliminate the arrogant beast god in front of him first, and then to deal with the matter of Wan Renwang.

After all, time was of the essence, and there was no room for delay.

As for the Beast God, he had just suffered several powerful blows from the Great Creation Palm.

Although he didn't die on the spot, the injuries he sustained were extremely serious.

At this moment, he saw Ling Feng rush down without hesitation, staring intently at him with a sinister gaze that seemed to see through everything.

His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding arose within him.

He forced himself to remain calm and asked in a slightly trembling voice:

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

However, Ling Feng had no intention of wasting any more words with him, and simply replied coldly:

"I'll grant you the wish you just made."

"A wish...a wish? What wish?"

The Beast God looked bewildered, clearly terrified and at a loss for what to do.

Ling Feng, however, was too lazy to waste any more words on him and prepared to take action directly.

In fact, just now, a detailed plan had already formed in his mind.

It should be noted that this beast god descended to earth relying on malevolent energy, and its vitality was so tenacious that it was almost immortal.

However, the reason for this situation is simply that everyone in the world is deterred by this terrifying malevolent energy and is completely helpless against it.

However, Ling Feng was clearly different from ordinary people; he could be considered an anomaly.

This is because he possesses an unparalleled divine skill—the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

This technique is not only incredibly powerful, but it can also devour everything in the world.

In this way, this seemingly troublesome malevolent energy may not be something that Ling Feng cannot deal with.

More importantly, the benefits of successfully absorbing the Beast God are countless.

On the one hand, this will undoubtedly help Ling Feng eliminate an extremely huge hidden danger;

On the other hand, by absorbing the powerful energy contained within the Beast God, his own strength will also be greatly enhanced.

Such a move, killing two birds with one stone, truly tempted Ling Feng.

However, Ling Feng was not careless in the slightest before making his move.

With a casual wave of his hand, he swiftly set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation around them.

This sword formation was imposing and filled with killing intent, like an indestructible barrier, its purpose being to prevent any external factors from interfering with his upcoming actions.

At the same time, Ling Feng naturally did not forget Bi Yao.

After all, Wanrenwang had been completely subdued by him, and if Biyao were left alone outside, her situation would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, Ling Feng included Bi Yao and Wan Renwang within the protection range of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

This ensured Biyao's safety and prevented any potential accidents.

After setting up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Ling Feng stared at the beast god before him, whose aura was weak and who was heavily injured.

He took a deep breath, slowly extended his right hand, and gently placed it on the body of the Beast God.

In an instant, an invisible force surged from Ling Feng's body, rushing towards the Beast God like a tidal wave.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng began to fully activate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Once this unparalleled skill was unleashed, it immediately displayed astonishing power.

A faint black light emanated from Ling Feng's body, echoing the hand he placed on the Beast God.

The Beast God was greatly alarmed when he felt the powerful suction force exerted on him by Ling Feng.

Despite its struggles and resistance, it was too badly injured and powerless to break free from Ling Feng's grasp.

He could only watch helplessly as the true essence he had painstakingly cultivated within his body surged continuously toward Ling Feng.

As Ling Feng continued to increase his power, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art became increasingly terrifying.

The Beast God's true essence was draining away faster and faster, and he couldn't even shout for help anymore.

Because Ling Feng has now broken through to the Immortal Realm, his control and application of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art has reached a level of perfection.

The power of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art gradually became apparent. The first major power it displayed was the significant increase in the speed at which it absorbed true essence.

In a short while, one-fifth of the originally vast true essence within the Beast God's body was forcibly absorbed into Ling Feng's own body.

Furthermore, this absorption rate is increasing slowly but noticeably.

After a short while, Ling Feng completely drained the Beast God's powerful true essence, which was at the peak of the Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao realm.

However, Ling Feng had no intention of giving up.

He continued to unleash the Devouring Demon Art with all his might, determined to squeeze out every last bit of energy remaining from the Beast God's body.

After all, this Devouring Heaven Demon Art is no ordinary technique! It possesses an astonishing ability—it can directly absorb the opponent's source power.

Ling Feng saw this potential and was eagerly anticipating using this magical ability to completely eliminate the Beast God and prevent future troubles.

However, something happened that left Ling Feng feeling extremely frustrated and confused.

Despite having absorbed a large amount of true essence from the Beast God, strangely enough, his strength had not improved in the slightest!

At this moment, he was still at the early stage of Earth Immortal, as if all his previous efforts had been in vain.

Logically speaking, having successfully obtained so much true essence from a powerful being like the Beast God, Ling Feng should have made a breakthrough, or at least his strength should have increased slightly, right?

But reality is so cruel and heartless.

However, although I was filled with doubts and confusion, now was clearly not the best time to delve into the reasons.

After all, the feud with the Beast God was not yet over, and he could not afford to be distracted in the slightest.

Therefore, Ling Feng could only bury this mystery deep in his heart for the time being, deciding to unravel it slowly when he had more free time in the future.

At this moment, Ling Feng continued to unleash the Devouring Heaven Demon Art without letting up.

Since the true essence within the Beast God's body had been completely drained, the bizarre Devouring Heaven Demon Art then began to absorb the Beast God's more core source power.

In reality, this so-called primordial power is nothing more than that terrifying malevolent energy.

It should be noted that this Beast God was originally created by the mysterious witch Linglong by gathering countless malevolent energies from all over the world.

As the power of origin was continuously lost, the appearance of the Beast God also underwent a surprising change.

His once mighty and strong body gradually became withered and shrunken, his skin lost its luster, and wrinkles quickly crept onto his face, making him look as if he had aged decades in an instant.

Sensing the astonishing changes that had occurred within itself, the Beast God, though unable to speak, displayed an expression that shifted constantly, much like the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

At first, the Beast God seemed completely indifferent to all of this, and his handsome face even carried a hint of contempt and disdain.

However, as time went on, its expression gradually changed, and its original confident demeanor was gradually replaced by fear.

At this moment, Ling Feng was completely absorbed in unleashing the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and was oblivious to the Beast God's reaction.

A continuous stream of primal power surged forth from the Beast God's body, flowing into Ling Feng's body like water bursting its banks.

At the same time, the appearance of the Beast God is undergoing a dramatic change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dashing and spirited young man just moments before transformed into a dejected middle-aged man, then rapidly aged into an old man with a wrinkled face and white hair, and finally became a terrifying, desiccated corpse.

Even so, Ling Feng did not stop what he was doing.

Because he knew that the Beast God was not truly dead at this moment, but merely in a state of suspended animation.

If he chooses to stop now, then one day, the Beast God will surely rise from the ashes and make a comeback.

Ling Feng was well aware of the simple and easy-to-understand principle that "if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer the consequences."

Therefore, he was determined to completely eliminate this threat and prevent it from ever recurring.

Finally, when Ling Feng successfully absorbed the last bit of primordial power from the Beast God's body, the Beast God's body turned into countless dust particles.

However, because Ling Feng's Devouring Heaven Demon Art was still in effect, the dust miraculously clung together, barely maintaining a vaguely discernible human shape.

Just as Ling Feng slowly withdrew his hand, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art also came to a halt.

At this moment, the beast god's body, which had already been reduced to dust, was instantly reduced to ashes all over the ground.

To Ling Feng's great surprise, a very ancient-looking sword lay quietly amidst the dust and debris.

The sword's blade shimmers with a dim yet mysterious light, and the hilt is engraved with exquisite patterns, as if telling the story of its long history and countless legendary tales.

Ling Feng's eyes widened, his heart filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art is extremely domineering; ordinary weapons are as fragile as paper in front of it.

But this ancient sword in front of us is actually able to survive unscathed even after being devoured by the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. This situation is truly rare!

What surprised Ling Feng even more was that the moment this ancient sword appeared, the mysterious sword he had been keeping in the system space suddenly stirred.

Ling Feng was all too familiar with the strange behavior of this mysterious sword—it would produce a similar reaction whenever a new fragment appeared.

Upon realizing this, Ling Feng was overjoyed and immediately stored the ancient sword into his system space.

He never expected that the Beast God would give him such a great gift on his deathbed!
