Chapter 467: Chapter 243: Heavenly Demon Instrument Track, Great Power Convergence_2

The Heavenly Demon Lord already opened his mouth, unleashing a powerful suction force that swallowed his physical body and his terrified divine soul in an instant.

In an instant,

The demon energy exuded from the Heavenly Demon enveloped his entire body before it was absorbed back into his body. In this short moment, the aura of the Heavenly Demon Lord had become twice as strong as before.

He glanced at the other Gold Core cultivators, revealing a gradually growing bloodthirst in his eyes.

The Gold Core Cultivators, now rooted to the spot in horror, felt as if their souls were about to escape and without a second thought, turned to flee.

The arrival of a Heavenly Demon meant occupying a cultivator’s body and restructuring it. The Demon could also utilize magic techniques, but it was now driven by demon energy instead of magic energy and spiritual energy.

The greyish light that the Heavenly Demon Lord had just unleashed was a magic technique transformed by demon energy.

Furthermore, if the cultivator it occupied was too weak, the process could be accelerated by devouring other cultivators. This was proven when Peng Han was devoured, and the aura of the Heavenly Demon Lord had doubled since.

This was one of the reasons why Heavenly Demons were so hard to kill and their lairs were so hard to eliminate.

However,

For the Heavenly Demon Lord, how could he let their prey that came right to their doorstep escape? With a casual flick of his hand, a tide of spiritual light surged out, catching up with the three slowest Gold Core cultivators and engulfing them.

After devouring the three Gold Core cultivators, body and soul, the Heavenly Demon Lord burped satisfactorily and disappeared contently.

Surrounding the large mountaintop, life ceased to exist, with the towering dark pillar continuously emitting a demonic aura, transforming the area while waiting for the next batch of ‘customers’.

On the other hand,

Han Yi, was running for his life and only after escaping a full hundred kilometers did his fear of imminent death gradually subside.

His complexion was extremely horrified and ugly.

Outside of the Demon Lair, all he encountered were Heavenly Demon Kings, which he was able to eradicate completely using his breakthrough Sword Control Skill and Soul Cutting Secret Skill.

Yet, he didn’t expect the danger inside the Demon Lair to be this terrifying.

Peng Han, number nineteen on the Master List, at his Peak Golden Core stage, a cultivator of Daqian Six Ministries, was completely devoured in an instant, not even his body or divine soul was spared. This horrifying scene drained all the Gold Core cultivators of their will to resist.

The gap was just too wide.

Only the cultivators at the top of the Master List, those who could fight against or even kill real monarchs, could possibly not be afraid.

At this point, although Han Yi deemed himself capable of contending with a Peak Golden Core, he was talking about those ranked after the thirtieth place on the Master List. As for those in the top ten, Han Yi naturally could not match them.

After steadying his nerves, Han Yi flew in a certain direction, but three breaths later, he frantically fled back. Behind him, over a dozen late-stage Golden Core and even Peak Golden Core Heavenly Demon Kings were in hot pursuit.

It took Han Yi a full quarter of an hour to lose the pursuing Heavenly Demon Kings. Suddenly, an idea came to him, and his body shook as he cast the Disguise Technique, instantly transforming into the likeness of the first Heavenly Demon King he had slain and condensed into a soul shadow.

His aura also exuded that of a Heavenly Demon King.

Han Yi, having transformed his aura, carefully found an ordinary Heavenly Demon King and flew past it slowly. He noticed that the Heavenly Demon King only glanced at Han Yi briefly before looking away.

“It really works.” Han Yi was thrilled.

Then, he confidently flew outwards. Of course, he still needed to be careful not to be seen by Yu Heng World’s cultivators. If he was mistaken for a real Heavenly Demon and killed, it would be an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Although the sky was filled with demon energy, Han Yi had a map of Shu Du, and through the passing mountain ranges and neighbourhoods, he managed to identify the direction and planned to return the way he came.

What horrified him was that he was only halfway out when a powerful aura approached him from afar. Han Yi was preparing to flee when he heard a hoarse voice calling out to him.

“The Heavenly Demon Great Formation is about to be activated, the arrival of the Demon God is imminent, follow me quickly.”

This aura radiating figure turned out to be the previous Heavenly Demon Lord who attacked Xu Su Monarch. Upon his command, the surrounding Heavenly Demon Kings within a radius of tens of miles all gathered behind him.

Han Yi wanted to sneak away, but one of the Heavenly Demon Kings that passed by stopped and looked at him suspiciously.

The other Demon Kings nearby also stopped and looked at Han Yi. Their attention threatened to attract the notice of the Heavenly Demon Lord nearby. Han Yi then stiffened, reluctantly turned around and followed the Demon King that had passed him.

When he blended into the ranks of the Demon Kings, the others naturally shifted their gaze away from him.

At this point, Han Yi was dejected. The Heavenly Demon Lord at the front didn’t notice him and naturally didn’t recognize his disguise. But if they got to the location, Han Yi’s impersonation might not go unnoticed.

Even if this Heavenly Demon Lord didn’t see through Han Yi’s disguise, the words he said earlier, ‘the arrival of the Demon God’, meant they were likely going to meet a Heavenly Demon God.

This was a Heavenly Demon on par with a Spirit Transformation Expert, Han Yi’s Disguise Technique would definitely not fool it.

Following them was undoubtedly a path to certain death.

But if he didn’t follow them, even if the Heavenly Demon Lord in front didn’t make a move, there were already over two hundred Heavenly Demon Kings gathered around. These Demon Kings could easily riddle Han Yi with holes with a single concentrated attack..
