Fighting the Masked Man

The battle between Lin Dong and the Devouring Lord did not turn the tide. Lin Dong crushed the Devouring Lord in an overwhelming manner. Half of the Devouring Lord's body was blown apart by Lin Dong, and the remaining half of the body was covered with cracks, as if it would completely shatter and perish at any moment.

Lin Dong did not rush to obliterate the Devouring Lord's body, because he knew that killing the opponent in this way was meaningless. The opponent's true spirit was fused with the Nether Tower. Even if he completely obliterated the opponent, the opponent could be reborn again with the help of the Nether Tower and appear in front of him intact.

This is the helplessness and despair one feels when facing the underworld.

If the Tower of the Underworld cannot be completely destroyed, all actions will be meaningless.

"Lord of Devouring, you were once a hero of your generation. In the past, you were even able to contend with the Ice Lord on the Tianxuan Continent. Why are you now willing to become someone else's puppet!" Lin Dong, bathed in a sea of ​​lightning, was like an enraged thunder god, and questioned him angrily.

He couldn't understand why someone like the Lord of Devouring would willingly become a puppet controlled by the Underworld Lord. Could it be that the Underworld Lord truly possessed some heaven-defying power that allowed him to alter the will of others?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain all of this. Someone like the Lord of Devouring would rather die than become someone else's puppet.

This is the pride and dignity of a peerless genius.

"Sometimes, there aren't that many choices in this world." The Devouring Lord looked at Lin Dong calmly, his tone devoid of any shame at being defeated, only showing composure and indifference.

As one of the five great ghost emperors of the underworld, the Devourer naturally knew the internal intelligence of the underworld, and knew that everything at present was just a game carefully designed by the Heavenly Emperor.

The vast world and the evil races beyond are all pawns on a chessboard, and no one has the right to escape the chessboard.

Including that so-called Heavenly Evil God!
Life and death are both determined by the Heavenly Emperor's whim, which makes life and death meaningless.

"Your destiny is in your own hands!" Lin Dong said, word by word. His aura not only did not weaken but increased, and his eyes were exceptionally firm, filled with a sense of unwavering determination, as if even if there was a dead end ahead, he would still find a way out.

This is Lin Dong!
He never yielded to anyone, not even so-called fate!

Looking at Lin Dong's expression, the Devouring Lord felt a pang of pity. He didn't know what Lin Dong meant to the Heavenly Emperor, but in his opinion, Lin Dong hadn't even seen his own destiny clearly, so how could he escape it?

Perhaps, to the Heavenly Emperor, Lin Dong was also a pawn.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting Lin Dong's power erode his entire body until half of his body completely exploded.

Lin Dong paused upon seeing this scene. He had intended to try and help the Devouring Lord break free from the control of the Nether Tower, but the Devouring Lord showed no sign of resistance. This puzzled him. What kind of methods did the Nether Lord use to make so many powerful figures willingly become puppets? He couldn't understand it.

A moment later, he shook his head, took a step, and sped towards the Tomb of Ten Thousand Beasts where Little Marten and the others were.

Without encountering any obstacles, Lin Dong successfully reunited with Xiao Diao and the others. Apart from Jiu You and others, all the young prodigies from various races gathered here. Of all the Divine Beast Plains, only this place remains relatively safe. As for the other places, they are all shrouded in an invisible force of reincarnation, and even the grass and trees have turned into dead things, their vitality drained away.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help asking with concern, "Are you all alright?"

“If you had arrived any later, we probably would have joined the underworld.” Little Marten shook his head slightly, chuckled, and joked, “But we are also grateful for this place. Too many powerful people have fallen here in the past, which has bought us time.”

There was a pause.

He said with a hint of helplessness, "What bad luck! We were just a hair's breadth away from obtaining the essence of the super divine beast."

With the three Beast Lords being taken away in one fell swoop, the essence blood of the super divine beasts they left behind was naturally brought into the Underworld Tower as well. Now, only three empty statues remain here, with nothing else of value.

However, being able to save one's life is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Who could have imagined that the underworld would emerge at this time and even set its sights on the Divine Beast Plain?

"How is it outside now?" Jiuyou asked with a worried look in his eyes.

"The extraterrestrial evil race has launched a full-scale attack on the Great Thousand World, and the unfinished war from fifty thousand years ago has begun again!" Lin Dong looked at Jiu You, his voice slightly condensed at this moment, and said in a deep voice, he also felt a sense of pressure and urgency.

Although his current strength is enough to contend with a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, it is only enough to contend with him.

The Devouring Lord, a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, cannot be considered a true Saint-grade being. They are merely inferior products that have forcibly raised their realm, belonging to the lowest tier of Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns. If it were one of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns in the Great Thousand Worlds, Lin Dong would definitely not have won so easily.

The key to this battle lies with the Heavenly Emperor. If the Heavenly Emperor can kill the Evil Emperor and the Underworld Lord, then victory in this battle will surely belong to the Great Thousand World. However, if the Heavenly Emperor fails, the entire Great Thousand World will also fall.

Lin Dong's words instantly startled everyone present. Those with weak mindsets even showed fear in their eyes, clearly understanding what was happening to the Great Thousand World.

No one can avoid this great battle.

"The Underworld has really cooperated with the evil race from beyond the realm?!" Little Marten couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, they've joined forces!" Lin Dong gave an affirmative answer, while looking towards the location of the endless void, where the great battle was still ongoing. Although the battle situation could not be seen, the occasional bursts of energy revealed the ferocity of the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Underworld Lord.

Just then, he inexplicably felt a heart-wrenching aura. His gaze turned cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he threw a punch at a point in the void. The eight ancestral symbols appeared out of thin air, outlining the veins of heaven and earth, like a large net, enveloping that point in the void.

"Buzz!"

An extreme black light tore through the void, instantly breaking through Lin Dong's punch, while the aftershock easily shattered the sweeping eight-colored giant net.

Under Lin Dong's gaze, Maha Tian, ​​dressed in black robes, slowly stepped out from the void, accompanied by a powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble. He held a purple-black spear in his palm, surrounded by a strange and evil aura. Behind him, a Dharma image tens of thousands of feet tall appeared and disappeared. He was both evil and domineering.

“Maha Tian…” Lin Dong looked at the newcomer, his eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty. He was not surprised by Maha Tian’s strength, but rather by the evil aura emanating from Maha Tian. The disgusting power was too obvious and could be easily sensed.

"Lin Dong, we meet again!" Maha Tian revealed a devilish smile, speaking in a low voice. "You joined the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan?!" Lin Dong's gaze turned cold as he stared intently at Maha Tian, ​​questioning him. At the same time, he felt somewhat incredulous. The young patriarch of the dignified Maha Ancient Clan had actually chosen to join the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan. If it weren't for the fact that the life aura of the person before him was exactly the same as Maha Tian's, he would have even suspected that the person was an imposter from the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

"Join? I prefer the word 'cooperate'," Maha Tian said coldly.

He did not conceal the demonic energy within him. Now that things had come to this, there was no need to hide it any longer. The final battle had begun, and as long as he won the final victory, everything from the past would naturally be submerged in the long river of history... History is written by the victors.

"As the young patriarch of the Maha Ancient Clan, you have actually colluded with the evil races from beyond the realm. Or rather, your Maha Ancient Clan has already betrayed us!" Lin Dong's spiritual power surged, and a vast Supreme Sea manifested behind him. Endless thunder accompanied his words, resounding throughout the world.

"Why should a dying man know these things?" Maha Tian said with a mocking smile, his expression full of confidence. He had now entered the Saint-grade realm, and with his original Dharma Body Night God Ancient Body, he dared to challenge even a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme in the late stage, let alone Lin Dong, who was only half a step into the Saint-grade realm.

This will be a one-sided, decisive victory.

Lin Dong fell silent at this moment. He did not refute anything because the pressure that Maha Tian put on him was far greater than before, especially the Dharma body that appeared behind the other party. It was obviously not the Maha Boundless Body of the Maha Ancient Clan, but a more powerful Dharma body... It might even be the legendary Primal Dharma Body!
Although we don't know how Maha Deva obtained it, it's pointless to think about those questions now.

It's nothing more than a fight to the death!

"You guys go first, I'll hold him off!" Lin Dong glanced at Little Mink and said in a deep voice.

As the words fell, a talisman in the little sable's arms floated out, its eight-colored spiritual light flowing, directly transforming into a spatial passage connecting to the outside world. At this moment, Lin Dong's aura locked onto Maha Tian, ​​in case the other party made a move to stop him.

Little Marten knew there was no point in staying, so he dragged Little Flame into the spatial passage. The others followed suit, and Maha Tian didn't stop them at all, letting them leave.

Lin Dong frowned slightly, staring at Maha Tian, ​​somewhat puzzled. Wasn't the other party afraid that Little Marten and the others would pass on the message?
"The troublesome fellows are all gone, now it's time for us to fight!" Maha Tian said slowly. "The humiliation you brought me in the past, I will repay it bit by bit today!"

He wasn't worried about others revealing the news. Ever since the moment the Maha Ancestor abandoned him, his future depended solely on himself. As long as he was strong enough, he could create a Maha Ancient Clan at any time!
therefore.

Maha Tian was not worried at all about the survival or extinction of the Maha Ancient Clan in the vast world.

Lin Dong took a deep breath. Today he would face the strongest opponent of his life. He dared not be careless in the slightest. He directly activated all the spiritual power in his body, and even went so far as to crush the eight ancestral symbols. With the help of the ancestral symbols and the Creation Symbol, he merged the power of the eight ancestral symbols with his own body, thereby obtaining even greater power.

This was the path he had deduced, and he originally intended to try it slowly, but now he no longer had the time. If he could not further improve his power, he might really perish at the hands of Maha Tian today.

Moreover, after death, they will be absorbed by the Underworld Tower and become puppets of the Underworld, just like the Devouring Lord!
"Buzz!"

Maha Tian moved, and the ancient body of the Night God manifested behind him. A dark power instantly enveloped the Divine Beast Plain, plunging this world into an eerie darkness. All light was swallowed up, and even perception was blocked.

Immediately.

A cold, long spear emerged from the void, aiming to pierce Lin Dong's heart.

"clang!"

A piercing metallic clang resounded through the heavens and earth. The falling spear light was blocked by a peculiar warm-colored jade tablet. Accompanied by wisps of chaotic energy, a vast power rippled outwards, shattering this dark domain.

"The Heavenly Emperor?!" Maha Tian's pupils shrank, and he looked at the jade tablet floating in front of Lin Dong with fear in his eyes. The wisps of chaotic energy were the Heavenly Emperor's signature chaotic power. Even though there was only one wisp now, it was still terrifying.

In other words, the psychological trauma inflicted by the Heavenly Emperor on Maha Heaven is too great, and he has yet to recover.

"Teacher?!" Lin Dong was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene. He obviously did not expect that there was still the power left by his teacher in the Creation Jade Tablet. However, because of this, it blocked a fatal blow for him. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured by that shot.

Especially that eerie dark domain, which could block all perception, truly sent chills down his spine.

"Netherworld Lord!" Maha Tian roared inwardly, his mood becoming somewhat agitated. He couldn't understand what the Netherworld Lord had done. Despite joining forces with the Evil Emperor, he still couldn't suppress the Heavenly Emperor, and even allowed the Heavenly Emperor to interfere in his battle with Lin Dong. He was simply a piece of trash.

"I don't believe the Heavenly Emperor can protect you forever. He can't even protect himself now!" He snorted coldly and activated the Dark Domain again. However, this time, the Creation Jade Tablet did not react at all, as if the power left by the Heavenly Emperor had been completely exhausted.

However, Lin Dong was no fool. Having learned from his experience, he found a way to deal with the Dark Domain. He directly merged his body into the void and used the fluctuations at the moment the attack arrived to launch a counterattack.

"The Great Wilderness Prisoner's Finger!"

With a soft shout, the void trembled, and a colossal, primordial finger, exuding an aura of desolation, pressed down on Maha Tian.

"You actually discovered it. It seems your mastery of space is quite high... Unfortunately, you don't know how terrifying the Primal Dharma Body is!" Maha Tian laughed loudly, completely unafraid of the falling giant finger. He struck out with his palm, and the black and white yin-yang fish directly crushed the falling giant finger. He then took a step forward, as if teleporting, and attacked Lin Dong.

……

In the void.

Yao Yan looked at the drastically changed Maha Tian and felt somewhat disappointed. He found that Maha Tian's mentality was not good. Only a few years had passed, and his mind had been affected by the evil source. However, the speed at which the other party's strength had improved was still acceptable.

He didn't intervene further; helping Lin Dong was already against the rules. Now, it's up to Lin Dong to see if he can break through that barrier. If he can break through to the Saint rank, defeating Maha Tian shouldn't be a problem.

If that's not possible, then let's go to the underworld for some training! (End of Chapter)
