Lin Feng was extremely excited. Judging from all aspects, this stone statue was his ancestor, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor. Back then, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was about to undergo his ninth transformation and become a stone man. However, at the most crucial moment, the Great Wilderness was sealed, causing his transformation to fail.
Countless people thought that he would die without a doubt after his transformation failed. However, there was an old saying that said, "If he's alive, you must see him; if he's dead, you must see his corpse." Since no corpse had been seen, no one could guarantee that he was really dead.
"The ancestor is not dead …"
Lin Feng was overwhelmed with emotions. If the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was really dead, there shouldn't be a bloodline reaction, right? Of course, this was Lin Feng's own guess. In fact, Lin Feng couldn't determine whether the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was dead or not. However, he had a feeling that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was still alive.
Although the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was standing there motionlessly, as if he had completely lost all his life force, Lin Feng had a feeling that someone as powerful as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor would not die so easily.
"Back then, the Sky-Devouring Devil Emperor had the body of a Nine Transformations Stone Man. He wanted to reverse fate and become an expert that surpassed his cultivation level. However, at the crucial moment, someone blocked his path of cultivation. At the same time, the Great Desolation City disappeared without a trace. Do you think that this stone man is the Sky-Devouring Devil Emperor?"
After hearing this, many people couldn't help but gasp. They felt that this might be the case. After all, so many cultivators had searched for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's place of seclusion back then, but they couldn't find any clues.
At that time, the Great Wilderness City was special. It hid many secrets, and many places couldn't be explored. It was very possible that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was hiding in the Great Wilderness City to break through to a higher cultivation level. In addition, the time of the Great Wilderness City's disappearance coincided with the time when the Great Wilderness was sealed. If this stone man was connected to the stone man in front of them, the probability of this stone man being the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor was extremely high.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor, a legendary existence, had appeared in front of everyone just like that.
"In the end, the breakthrough failed."
At this moment, a cultivator lamented.
Back then, the clans of the Grand Wilderness had a very good relationship with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor. Therefore, they naturally hoped that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor could complete his breakthrough. Now that they saw the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor standing there as a stone man without any vitality, they felt that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor must have lost all his vitality after failing to break through back then.
He was only one step away.
But in the end, he failed.
Many people could not help but feel sad for the fate of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor.
"Hahahaha, Ninth Revolution Stone Man Body, what a perfect body! This body is mine!"
At this moment, Solomon laughed out loud. He flew towards the Heaven-Devouring Devil Emperor and wanted to take over his body.
Lin Feng's expression was gloomy. He couldn't stop this guy in time.
Solomon was about to enter the body of the Heaven-Devouring Devil Emperor.
Suddenly, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor moved.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor pointed his right hand at Solomon.
A beam of divine light flew out.
Then, he pointed at Solomon's body.
Solomon's body exploded.
"Ah! Why is this happening? " Solomon roared angrily. He couldn't believe it. He was clearly dead. Why did he suddenly come back to life?
He wanted to escape, but at this moment, he realized that the stone man's body was emitting an extremely strong devouring power.
His body involuntarily flew towards the stone man's body.
"No, no, no!"
Solomon screamed in horror. Back then, when his body and soul were destroyed, he was not in such despair. This was because he could still use the top secret techniques passed down by his clan to leave behind some remnant souls. These remnant souls could allow him to be resurrected at a certain time in the future, just like this time. But now, the situation was different. He felt that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor would completely devour him this time, not even leaving behind a remnant soul.
This was extremely bad.
However, he could not resist all of this.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor wanted to devour Solomon. Did he want to use Solomon as a supplement?
In fact, Lin Feng didn't know what the situation was with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's body. But since he could devour Solomon, it meant that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor should be able to come back to life.
Solomon tried hard to resist the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's devouring, but he couldn't. This was because the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's Art of Devouring was too terrifying. The world didn't even know his name. They only knew him as the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor.
This was because …
He could devour everything.
He devoured Solomon directly.
"How could this be?"
The female sorceress screamed in horror. She was unwilling to accept this. She had resurrected Lord Solomon, but such an unforeseen event had happened.
Lin Feng and the others were no longer in danger.
"Catch that female sorceress!"
Said Shi Potian.
Immediately, a dozen cultivators rushed towards the Sorceress. The Sorceress wasn't good at fighting, so she wasn't a match for the cultivators. When she saw the cultivators surrounding her, the Sorceress laughed strangely and said, "Lowly creatures, you will all die. I will use my body as a sacrifice to communicate with the sleeping Lord Ruler."
"Stop him!"
Shouted Lin Feng after hearing what the sorceress said. He knew that the Lord Ruler that the sorceress was talking about was most likely the Lord Ruler of the world behind the scenes. Although the Lord Ruler wasn't the most powerful existence in history, many people who were stronger than him had died at his hands.
With the passage of time, his combat strength was obviously increasing. Therefore, those who could defeat him back then might not necessarily be his match now. Now, the strength of this existence was absolutely unimaginable. If he really appeared, it would be an extremely terrifying thing.
But at this time, it was too late to stop the sorceress.
The sorceress's body burned fiercely. In the blink of an eye, her body was burned to ashes. Then, a strange energy poured into the Void World.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a dazzling lightning split the sky and the earth.
The stone statue that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had turned into opened its eyes.
"The ancestor … is awake."
Lin Feng was excited. He temporarily put the matter of the Lord Ruler of the world behind the scenes to the back of his mind.
At this time, endless divine lightning descended.
It attacked the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The countless divine lightning blasted the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's body, trying to destroy him. But they couldn't do it. The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's stone statue body was too terrifying.
"Break the shackles of the heavens and the earth and achieve the realm of transcendence."
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's voice echoed between heaven and earth.
He took his first step towards the Nine Heavens.
When he took the first step, Lin Feng immediately sensed that his body was filled with an incredible amount of vitality.
"He sealed his body …" Ye Futian murmured.
Lin Feng thought of a possibility.
Perhaps during the critical period of his transformation, the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had sensed that something was wrong, so he sealed his body. Of course, during the critical period of his cultivation and transformation, it was extremely dangerous to suddenly seal one's body. But the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor was powerful, and he succeeded in doing so.
Therefore, when the Great Wilderness was sealed.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
He didn't suffer any backlash.
However … all of this was just Lin Feng's speculation. Lin Feng didn't know whether it was true or not, but Lin Feng felt that it was at least a possibility. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor wasn't dead now. He seemed to want to break through the shackles of heaven and earth and break through to the Transcendence Realm. That was enough.
Billions of divine lightning blasted down.
They wanted to destroy the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor defied the heavens and took nine steps to transcend. If he could successfully take nine steps, he would definitely be able to break through to the Transcendence Realm smoothly. Therefore, this was an extremely critical moment. Lin Feng was extremely nervous.
Lin Feng wasn't the only one. All the ferocious beasts and clans of Ba Huang were extremely nervous. Maybe they were going to witness the rise of a cultivator who had the strength of the Qi layer, or maybe they were going to witness the fall of a peerless cultivator.
The billions of divine lightning blasted down on the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor, but they didn't cause any harm to him. The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor was really powerful.
Soon, the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor took his second step.
Third step.
Fourth step.
Fifth step.
The lightning behind him became more and more terrifying. It seemed as if heaven and earth were about to be destroyed. It was as if doomsday had arrived. The momentum was too terrifying, and it made people feel despair and fear.
Even someone as powerful as the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor was bleeding in the face of the lightning tribulation.
Lin Feng frowned. He couldn't help but worry for the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor. Lin Feng's tribulation was usually one lightning tribulation after another. Therefore, it would take a long time. However, now that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had taken nine steps to transcend, countless lightning tribulations came down together. This was an extremely terrifying thing.
The pressure and danger he was facing had increased multiple times.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor took his sixth step. Even more terrifying lightning tribulations came down, such as the Apocalypse Tribulation, the Epoch Tribulation, and other legendary tribulations. These tribulations that only appeared a few times in an epoch came down one after another.
Lin Feng even felt that …
This epoch was going to be destroyed under the attacks of these tribulations.
Countless tribulations blasted down on the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor. When the tribulations disappeared, the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor appeared. There were many wounds on his body, and there were stone man blood dripping down. A single drop of his blood could crush a world.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor took his seventh step.
At that instant, an ancient world appeared. Countless images flickered on it.
Then, Lin Feng and the others saw that the image was fixed in a mysterious palace. There was a stone bed in the palace. On the stone bed, a cultivator was lying sideways.
The cultivator was resting.
His back was facing the world.
He seemed to have heard some kind of call. His body moved slightly, and then he sat up.
However, Lin Feng and the others …
They still couldn't see what he looked like.
"The ruler of the mastermind's world …"
Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
It should be the ruler of the mastermind's world. This was an extremely strong intuition. Just now, the sorceress sacrificed herself and really communicated with this existence.
"Transcendence realm … and it's someone from the sovereign's imperial clan breaking through …"
He was a little surprised.
He said this sentence in the mastermind's world, but Lin Feng and the others heard it.
What the f — k — is this some kind of trick?
It was really strange!
It was really terrifying!
As expected of the ruler of the mastermind's world!
Then, he muttered, "The sovereign's imperial clan is a force that even I don't want to offend. Unfortunately, now that we've become sworn enemies, we should completely destroy this clan."
Lin Feng and the others didn't hear the latter part of his sentence.
He made his move. Across the endless world, he gently pointed at the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
A ray of destructive light condensed and formed.
It blasted toward the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
This was the tribulation that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor encountered when he took his seventh step.
Although this tribulation was only caused by the ruler of the mastermind's world, the lethality of this tribulation was countless times stronger than the lethality of countless lightning tribulations gathered together.
It was too terrifying!
There were simply no words to describe the opponent's attack!
Facing the attack of the mastermind's ruler …
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor attacked.
A fist swept out.
"Bang!"
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor met the opponent's attack head-on and blocked it.
Then, he took a step forward.
The eighth step.
Lin Feng's breathing became rapid. This was the second last step.
"Death."
The mastermind's cold voice suddenly sounded. As soon as his voice fell, a terrifying power of death descended.
The power of death was somewhat special.
It wasn't ordinary power of death. When the power of death descended, it enveloped the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
Everyone saw that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's stone golem body was rapidly losing its vitality.
The stone golem body, which was originally emitting holy light, started to show signs of aging. Not long after, dense cracks began to appear on it.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor raised his hands. He saw that his hands were completely torn apart. Then, many parts of his body began to shatter. His body began to dismember.
"How can this be?" Seeing this scene, Lin Feng clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
This was the eighth step.
There were still two more steps to complete the magnificent feat of transcending nine steps. But now, there seemed to be no hope.
"Crack, crack, crack …"
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's body was completely shattered.
"Is he dead? Is the ancestor dead? Did he cross countless years? In the end, he still failed to break through? "
Lin Feng felt very uncomfortable. He almost couldn't breathe.
Many people felt that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor's life was too tragic.
He had broken through twice.
In the end, he had failed.
It was a pity.
"If he hadn't been destroyed during his first breakthrough, he would definitely have been able to break through. But now that his first breakthrough has been destroyed, he's been silent for countless years. He's far from his peak. It's becoming increasingly difficult to break through."
Many people nodded.
But …
This was fate!
It was difficult to change!
"No, look! The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor isn't dead!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly. Everyone looked over and saw flames burning in the sky.
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor.
He had been reborn from the flames.
"Phoenix Nirvana!"
Lin Feng exclaimed. The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had actually cultivated the Phoenix Nirvana from the Phoenix Grimoire. It was a supreme technique of the Phoenix Clan.
And in the moment of danger, the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had used the Phoenix Nirvana to be reborn.
"Hmm?"
The eyes of the mastermind turned cold. He hadn't expected the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor to use the Phoenix Tribe's Phoenix Nirvana Technique to reverse his tribulation. This made his expression turn a little ugly.
"He's just putting up a desperate struggle."
The eyes of the mastermind flashed coldly.
At this moment …
The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor had taken the ninth step!
This was transcending nine steps!
The final step!
