Fighting the Masked Man

A deafening roar echoed throughout the Divine Beast Plains. Lin Dong was enveloped in an intense azure light, as if a sacred azure dragon was awakening and empowering his physical body, causing Lin Dong's body to be strengthened to its limit in a short period of time.

As the eight ancestral symbols shattered, the Dao patterns of heaven and earth contained within them were completely integrated into the physical body, resonating with the power of heaven and earth.

This is the path that Lin Dong comprehended after observing the Heavenly Emperor's Way: his body merges with heaven and earth, and all laws are at his disposal!
"boom!"

Lin Dong unleashed a punch, and the phantom of a sacred beast, a blue dragon, solidified, carrying the power of this world, clashing with the attacking Maha Tian. Instantly, this triggered a violent roar and an energy storm, forcefully halting its charge.

"Prey that fights back pleases me even more... If you can't even withstand one of my blows, then this battle is far too boring!" Maha Tian was not angry but delighted, and laughed loudly, revealing his madness and demonic nature. The evil aura surrounding him surged even more, as if he had completely fallen into it.

"Lin Dong, die!" He smiled cruelly.

The vast Yin and Yang energies manifested between heaven and earth, transforming into a black and white ocean. The intertwining of the two seemed to contain the power to obliterate everything in the world. Especially when a powerful figure like Maha Tian, ​​who had reached the Saint-level Heavenly Supreme, unleashed this power, it was even more terrifying, possessing a terrifying force capable of destroying the world.

This terrifying yin and yang energy transformed into a black and white millstone, covering Lin Dong and attempting to suppress and obliterate him.

Lin Dong sensed the aura of death. He roared and attacked with all his might. The Eight-Colored Divine Rings, centered on his body, shone with incomparably brilliant light, like the sun in a black and white world, trying to pierce the blockade of the black and white millstone. His indomitable martial will soared to the sky, and the power within his body also continued to rise at this moment, as if he had stepped into a wonderful realm of enlightenment.

"open!"

With a soft shout, Lin Dong, through a brief burst of energy, forcefully shattered the black and white millstone formed by Yin and Yang energies.

"Is this your limit?" Maha Tian's eyes flashed slightly. This time, he saw Lin Dong's limit clearly. He sneered and the terrifying spiritual power of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign within him rippled out, instantly causing the heavens and earth to tremble. It seemed that they could not withstand his pressure at all.

The Divine Beast Plains have been drained of their life force by the Nether Tower, and it's only a matter of time before they are completely destroyed. Once the Five Ghost Emperors remove the great array that seals off the surrounding area, this place will inevitably be annihilated in an instant.

"If the Heavenly Emperor doesn't save you today, you will surely die!"

He let out a soft roar, and the ancient body of the Night God behind him merged with his physical body, enhancing his physical body and soul, causing his strength to soar to its current limit in an instant, and also making his speed reach an unbelievable level.

With a single step, Maha Tian appeared directly at Lin Dong's location, sending the latter flying. Blood stained his clothes, and his body was torn apart by the punch. If it weren't for the innate Dao patterns formed by the eight Ancestral Symbols suppressing his body, Lin Dong would have suffered an irreparable injury.

Lin Dong's eight ancestral symbols were ancestral symbol sub-bodies refined by Yao Yan, but their growth potential far exceeded that of the real ancestral symbols. As Lin Dong has grown all the way to this point, their power is by no means weaker than a quasi-peerless sacred artifact. Now that the eight ancestral symbols have merged with him, it is equivalent to giving Lin Dong the potential to grow into a 'peerless sacred artifact'.

All that's missing now is a final bit of refinement and a crucial opportunity!

This battle with Maha Tian was undoubtedly the best opportunity, and also the one where Lin Dong took the biggest gamble. However, he had no choice. If he did not want to be killed by Maha Tian, ​​he could only take a risky approach, merging his body with the eight ancestral symbols and using himself to bear the heaven and earth patterns of the eight ancestral symbols.

When Maha Tian saw that his attack had not seriously injured Lin Dong, his eyes instantly darkened. He did not continue to speak and attacked Lin Dong again. This time, his attack was even more brutal, tearing Lin Dong's right arm apart.

If the Heavenly Supreme's physical body had not been a spiritual body, this attack would have crippled Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's dark eyes remained calm. With a thought, the source within his body repaired his lost arm. He showed no intention of dodging and took the initiative to attack Mohe Tian. As long as Mohe Tian's attacks could not kill him instantly, this battle would be a long one. Moreover, he needed this life-or-death battle to complete his final step!
Both were ruthless characters, and they instantly clashed. Lin Dong was immediately at a disadvantage, coughing up blood and flying backwards, or even having half of his body torn apart. Lin Dong was also extremely ruthless, treating his enemies as well as himself. He didn't utter a word during the fight, and while restoring his spiritual body, he didn't forget to attack Maha Tian.

As time went by, Maha Tian was shocked and furious to discover that he could no longer easily kill Lin Dong as before, and the other party was even able to fight back!
"Damn it!" Maha Tian roared, as memories of the past flooded back. That day, he was defeated by Lin Dong. Was he going to repeat the same mistake again? How could he accept this? He had already sold his soul and personality. Was he still not powerful enough to take revenge?!

"Lin Dong, you're trying to use me to transform again... You forced me to this!!!"

Maha Tian wasn't stupid. Sensing Lin Dong's change, he immediately roared. The evil energy within him began to devour his life force and erode his spiritual power. At this moment, Maha Tian offered no resistance whatsoever, allowing the source of the evil energy within him to completely devour his power and utterly fall into darkness in exchange for greater strength.

Spiritual power and evil energy are ultimately two opposing forces, and there is no possibility of perfect compatibility between them; at least, the Maha Heaven cannot achieve it.

Only by transforming into a single power can Maha Deva's strength reach its peak.

"Roar!"

Maha Tian went mad, abandoning his identity in the Great Thousand Worlds and completely becoming an extraterrestrial evil race. His eyes turned blood red, his skin turned black and white, his body writhes and twists, and strange purplish-black patterns spread all over his body. With the blessing of the Night God Ancient Body, his power was further enhanced.

"So you're the only one who's willing to risk everything!" Lin Dong said coldly. He was also straightforward, directly burning his own spiritual body to gain even more surging power, while also buying himself time to undergo a transformation.

Lin Dong's ruthlessness also moved Mohe Tian. He did not expect Lin Dong to burn his own origin directly. However, he had no way out now. He activated the Night God Ancient Body, transformed into a black light, and attacked Lin Dong.

By burning his spiritual energy source, Lin Dong gained power comparable to a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign in a short period of time, which was enough to support this battle!
The two clashed again, their battle shockwaves tearing through the Divine Beast Plains and shattering the space into nothingness.

……

"Hold on..."

Seeing that Lin Dong had withstood the pressure from Maha Tian, ​​Yao Yan's eyes showed satisfaction. Lin Dong truly deserved to be one of the chosen ones in the original work; his talent was truly astonishing. Immediately, he stopped paying attention to the two fighting in the Divine Beast Plains. From the moment Lin Dong withstood the pressure from Maha Tian, ​​the outcome of this battle had already been decided.

Maha Tian was destined to become Lin Dong's stepping stone. At this moment, his gaze was also turned to the Northern Wilderness Hill of the Great Thousand World, because the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and others were taking advantage of this time to attack the Northern Wilderness Hill, attempting to break the seal of the Heavenly Evil God and release him.

For this reason, they even allied with the Mahagu tribe!

"The composition of the Maha Ancestor is indeed complicated." Yao Yan murmured softly, then smiled faintly, not taking it to heart. Since they wanted to release the Heavenly Evil God ahead of schedule, then let them release him. He was quite curious about how much power the Heavenly Evil God, who had been sealed for 50,000 years, still had.

This time, the Heavenly Evil God doesn't have the Demon Emperor sacrifices from the original story, and it can still unleash some power; it remains to be seen.

……

……

Compared to the original story, this time the Northern Wilderness Hills didn't receive much support. Only the Undying Lord led a dozen or so Heavenly Sovereigns to fight against the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and others. After all, the Great Thousand World was in complete chaos, with war raging everywhere. Moreover, with the destruction of several Great Thousand Towers, the defensive spirit array covering the entire Great Thousand World also became ineffective. Even if they knew that there was a problem with the Northern Wilderness Hills, it would be difficult for powerful figures from all over the world to arrive there to provide support.

Not to mention that all the various factions are struggling to protect themselves.

For example, the lineage of super divine beasts is being devoured by the underworld. They can only barely hold off the underworld's advance. It's hard to say how long they can hold out. After all, the underworld's immortal soldiers are too disgusting. Moreover, as the war escalates, the number of powerful beings in the underworld is also increasing dramatically. Their threat is even greater than that of the evil races from beyond the realm.

The Holy Demon Emperor stood in the void. Although the Holy Demon Flame had been forcibly taken from him by the Heavenly Emperor, his strength had been restored after years of cultivation. Now, he brought a group of loyal confidants to the Northern Wilderness Hill in order to break the seal and release the Heavenly Evil God within.

There can only be one god among the extraterrestrial evil races!
"Lord of Immortality, break the seal of my god and join my race, and I might spare the lives of your entire clan!" His icy voice echoed across the Northern Wilderness Hills, and behind him, a large number of powerful extraterrestrial demons poured out from the spatial rifts, a dark mass, their demonic energy sweeping across the heavens and earth.

The Undying Lord was surrounded by deathly aura. His powerful spiritual energy, at the peak of the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign, dispelled the demonic energy that shrouded the sky. He coldly stared at the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and said, "Delusion! My clan has guarded this place for generations. No one can release the Heavenly Evil God... Activate the formation!"

With a soft shout, a large spirit array emerged from the ground, transforming into an invisible barrier that separated the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor and the others.

This formation is called the Demon Transformation Formation. It can decompose all demonic energy and is the nemesis of the evil races from beyond the realm. It is also integrated with the formation below that seals the Heavenly Evil God. With the strength of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor and others, it is impossible for them to forcibly destroy this formation unless the Evil Emperor comes in person!
"Om~"

At the same time, the void on one side cracked open, and the Maha Ancestor broke through the void with the Maha Yin-Yang Bottle, bringing the clan's strongmen to this place. They then entered the great formation and joined forces with the Undying Lord and others to fight against the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor.

The Undying Lord looked at the newcomers, and some of the gloom in his heart dissipated. With the support of the powerful members of the Maha Ancient Clan, plus the Demon Transformation Array here, it was enough to hold off the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor and the others.

Before he could say anything to the old master Maha and the others, a beam of black and white light poured down from the Maha Yin Yang Bottle in mid-air, heavily striking the core of the Demon Transformation Formation and causing a crack in the originally flawless formation.

As the crack appeared, an incredibly terrifying demonic aura instantly surged from the depths of the great formation, rising into the sky like billowing smoke, ravaging the heavens and earth.

"Ancestor Maha, what are you doing?!" The Undying Lord was stunned and roared angrily, questioning him. He couldn't believe his eyes. The Maha Ancient Clan had actually cooperated with the extraterrestrial evil race and even took the initiative to tear open the seal of the Demon Transformation Array.

The Demon Transformation Array is an absolute nemesis of the extraterrestrial evil races, but this array is difficult to withstand attacks from spiritual power. This is why the Undying Lord has led his people to guard this place for generations. However, only a few hundred years have passed since the last Great Thousand Alliance, and at this most critical juncture, the Maha Ancient Clan actually chose to betray them.

Once the Heavenly Evil God is released, the Great Thousand World will lose all hope. It is impossible to expect the Heavenly Emperor to contend against three beings above the Saint rank, especially since the Heavenly Evil God's strength is above that of the Evil Emperor and the Underworld Lord.

This will be a catastrophe that destroys the world.

"You know perfectly well why you're asking. Isn't the truth obvious?" the Maha Ancestor said coldly. Now that things had come to this, he was too lazy to pretend anymore. With the destruction of the central defensive spirit array covering the entire world, the fact that the Maha Ancient Clan was colluding with the extraterrestrial evil race could no longer be concealed. It would be truly foolish not to place a bet now.

Fortunately, the Maha Ancient Clan has preserved a seed. Even if they ultimately lose, it will be enough for the Maha Ancient Clan to retain a bloodline. If they win, the Maha Ancient Clan will become a new major clan among the extraterrestrial evil races, and their status may not be lower than that of the five ancient clans.

However, the most important thing right now is to release the Heavenly Evil God and gain his trust. According to the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Evil God is far more trustworthy than the Evil Emperor and the Underworld Lord.

"You've really gone mad!" the Undying Lord roared, then shouted at the Heavenly Sovereigns present, "Form the array and stop the Heavenly Evil God from being born!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the Old Ancestor Maha to stop him from continuing to attack. However, it was obviously all in vain, because with the formation showing a flaw, the Demon Transformation Formation no longer had the possibility of sealing the Heavenly Evil God.

"boom!"

A colossal demonic pillar shot into the sky, its demonic energy raging. An indescribable demonic might swept across the land, and at the same time, the rampaging demonic energy began to devour all living beings in its path. Even the Heavenly Sovereigns were like ants under the erosion of this demonic energy, their essence instantly drained.

"Hahahaha!"

Within the demonic pillar, demonic energy condensed, and a towering demonic figure loomed faintly in the air. Standing in the void, merely a blurry shadow, it caused the world to darken instantly. An indescribable power swept across the sky, appearing from afar like a world-destroying demon god.

The demonic howl echoed through the heavens and earth. The demonic figure looked at the still unbroken Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array and laughed loudly, which even reached the Northern Wilderness Hills and affected many surrounding continents.

"Immortal Emperor, after forty-nine thousand years, you have failed at the last hurdle. In the end, I have won this contest!"

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire Great Thousand World, even affecting the battlefield beyond the realm, causing the Heavenly Emperor and others who were fighting to stop. At the same time, the Evil Emperor's cold voice also came: "Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, when did I allow you to release the Heavenly Evil God!"

The moment the words fell, the demonic figure's expression seemed to freeze for a moment... (End of Chapter)
