Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 259, Section 259: Don't order yet!

Ling Xiao endured the excruciating pain emanating from all parts of his body, his gaze fixed on the location of the demon god.

The dazzling light gradually dimmed, and when the vision returned to clarity, the demon god's body swayed. The black mist, which was originally as thick as ink and exuded an evil aura, had now mostly dissipated, revealing its hideous and terrifying true form.

On the demon god's chest, the area Ling Xiao had once considered a weakness, wisps of smoke were rising from it; it was charred black.

The impact of the energy ball left deep wounds on his body, from which flowed strange purplish-black blood, emitting a pungent, putrid odor.

The demon god let out a deafening roar, his voice filled with rage and resentment. The entire cave trembled violently at the sound of the roar, and more rocks fell from the cave ceiling, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, the roar had lost its previous intimidating power and instead sounded like a dying struggle. Seeing this, Ling Xiao felt a surge of hope; he knew that the scales of victory were gradually tipping in his favor.

Despite being utterly exhausted and with very little magic left, he gritted his teeth.

He forced himself to stand up, and the wand in his hand shone brightly once more. Although the light was not as dazzling as before, it was filled with his firm belief and indomitable will.

Ling Xiao mobilized the remaining magic power within him, unleashing a series of magical attacks. Beams of light shot from his hands: some were blazing flames, their searing heat licking the demon god's wounds; others were sharp ice blades...

The magic flashed with a cold light, attempting to tear at the demon god's skin; and nimble lightning, like silver snakes, darted about, numbing the demon god's nerves. Each magical attack struck the demon god with precision, and the demon god's body trembled incessantly under these attacks.

The purplish-black blood from the wound flowed even more violently, staining the ground beneath his feet a strange color. The demon god attempted to swing his scythe in retaliation.

However, its movements were noticeably slower, and its strength was far less than before. The black whirlwind it whipped up when it swung its scythe was no longer as powerful as it had been.

It could only barely disperse some of the magical light emitted by Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao keenly sensed the demon god's weakness, and he concentrated all his energy, preparing to deliver the final blow.

He closed his eyes and silently chanted an ancient incantation, gathering the remaining elemental energy around him once more.

A powerful surge of energy flowed into the wand. The wand shone brightly, and Ling Xiao abruptly opened his eyes.

With a resolute glint in his eyes, he roared and pointed his wand at the demon god.

A dazzling beam of light shot from the tip of the wand, like a ray of dawn piercing the darkness, heading straight for the demon god. The moment the light struck the demon god...

A deafening roar erupted, and the demon's body shook violently. Finally, it could no longer hold on.

He crashed to the ground with a deafening roar. The earth trembled violently as the demon god's massive body fell, raising a thick cloud of dust. Ling Xiao collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, utterly exhausted.

He gazed at the demon's corpse lying not far away, his heart filled with mixed emotions. This battle had drained him of too much energy and strength; every wound spoke of the battle's brutality.

But he knew he had succeeded, had successfully defeated the powerful sixty-seventh pillar demon of hell.

Just as Ling Xiao was immersed in the joy and exhaustion of victory, the demon god's corpse suddenly changed.

The demon god's body gradually transformed into a strange light, which continuously condensed and contracted, eventually forming a bead exuding a mysterious aura.

The bead was crystal clear, yet its interior seemed to shimmer with countless stars, radiating a soft yet powerful light. It slowly floated towards Ling Xiao, hovering before him, as if waiting for something.

Ling Xiao curiously reached out and gently touched the bead.

Instantly, a warm power surged into his body, and he felt his tired body rapidly recovering, while his magic power also rebounded at an astonishing speed.

Moreover, as the power of the bead merged into his mind, some ancient memories of this sealed land surfaced.

In these memories, he saw a once glorious magical kingdom. This kingdom possessed powerful magical energy, and its people lived in peace and happiness.

However, a sudden and evil war shattered this peace. The demon god of hell led his demon army to invade, engaging in a fierce battle with the magic kingdom.

The guardians of the magic kingdom spared no effort in their fierce battle against the demon god to protect their homeland.

In the end, the guardians sacrificed themselves to seal the demon god here, leaving behind some mysterious power to prevent the demon god from breaking the seal again.

Ling Xiao realized that this bead not only contained powerful energy, but also held the key clues to unlocking the secrets of this sealed land.

He carefully put the bead away, deciding to continue exploring the sealed land with it, searching for a way out, and also hoping to uncover the truth behind everything. Ling Xiao stood up and looked around.

The cave was a mess, with traces of battle everywhere. He took a deep breath, composed himself, and continued forward into the cave.

At this moment, his heart was filled with hope and anticipation, because he knew that there were still many secrets waiting for him to uncover in this sealed land.

As he traveled, Ling Xiao noticed some subtle changes in his surroundings.

The once gloomy and terrifying cave now seemed to have lost some of its oppressive atmosphere.

The eerie green flames on the wall burned even more fiercely, illuminating the path ahead. Ling Xiao kept a close eye on the changes around him, while remaining vigilant against any potential dangers.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao arrived at a fork in the road. Two passages appeared before him: one emitted a soft glow, while the other was shrouded in a mysterious mist. Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment...

He ultimately decided to choose the passage that emitted a soft glow. He thought that perhaps this passage would lead to the exit, or perhaps it would allow him to find more clues about this sealed land.

Ling Xiao walked along the passage, silently considering his next move.

He knew that his adventure in this sealed land was far from over, and that many more challenges awaited him ahead.

But he was not afraid, because he had the mysterious bead in his hand and a heart that dared to explore.

He believed that as long as he persevered, he would surely be able to uncover all the secrets of this sealed land and find his way home. As he went deeper, strange patterns began to appear on the walls on both sides of the passage.

Some of these patterns resemble ancient writing, while others look like strange creatures; each pattern seems to contain a powerful force.

Ling Xiao stopped and carefully observed the patterns, trying to decipher some useful information from them.

He discovered that these patterns seemed to tell a story—a story about a magical kingdom, a demon god's seal, and mysterious powers. Ling Xiao continued forward, his heart filled with curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown.

He didn't know what awaited him at the end of the passage, but he was prepared to face any challenge.

In this mysterious, sealed land, Lingxiao's adventure has only just begun.

Exhausted from victory and filled with curiosity, Ling Xiao dragged his slightly heavy body, which was rekindled with hope by the mysterious bead, and continued forward into the cave.

At this moment, the stench of blood that permeated the cave gradually dissipated after the demon god fell, replaced by a strange tranquility.

Ling Xiao's footsteps echoed in the empty cave, each step taken cautiously, both wary of potential dangers and filled with anticipation for the unknown ahead.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a passage radiating a soft light suddenly appeared ahead.

This light was completely different from the eerie atmosphere inside the cave. It carried a warm and reassuring feeling, like a beacon of hope guiding Lingxiao through the darkness.

Ling Xiao paused briefly, adjusted his breathing, calmed his excitement and nervousness, and then steadily stepped into the new passage.

Inside the passage, the walls were covered with runes far more complex than those seen before. These runes were not random, but rather interwoven in a sophisticated arrangement, subtly radiating mysterious energy fluctuations.

Ling Xiao approached one of the runes and examined it closely. He discovered that there seemed to be subtle light flowing on the surface of the rune, like shimmering streams.

He reached out and gently touched it, a gentle power flowing from his fingertips. A few blurry images flashed through his mind, like fragments of an ancient ritual, but they vanished in an instant, leaving only a mysterious aftertaste.

As Ling Xiao walked along the passage, he would stop from time to time to study the runes, trying to decipher more information from them.

He discovered that these runes seemed to tell the story of the past glory and decline of this sealed land, as well as some obscure records about ancient magic.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, the meaning of the runes was too profound, and he could only understand a few words of them, but this was enough to fill him with more curiosity and desire to explore this mysterious place.

As he walked, Ling Xiao heard a soft rustling sound. He immediately became alert, gripped his wand tightly, and quickly scanned his surroundings.

From a corner of the passage, a small creature slowly peeked out. This creature had a peculiar appearance; it resembled a fox but had three pairs of transparent, gauze-like wings that shimmered with multicolored light, as if inlaid with countless gems.

Its eyes were big and round, radiating a lively light, as it curiously examined Lingxiao.

Ling Xiao relaxed his tense nerves slightly, sensing that the creature meant him no harm.

The creature seemed to sense Ling Xiao's goodwill, and cautiously approached him, circling around his feet and making soft calls, as if greeting him.

Ling Xiao squatted down and reached out his hand. The creature hesitated for a moment, but finally gently rubbed against his palm, and a warm feeling came from his palm.

In his interactions with the little creature, Lingxiao discovered that it could understand some of his simple thoughts.

As he thought about the road ahead, the little creature would fly a distance into the depths of the passage, then turn back to look at him, as if urging him to follow.

Ling Xiao's heart stirred, and he decided to follow the little creature, hoping it could lead him to some important clues.

As Lingxiao ventured deeper into the passage, he encountered several other strange creatures.

Some creatures resemble tree-men, covered in lush green vines with flowers that emit a strange fragrance; others are like jellyfish floating in the air, with transparent bodies that shimmer with mysterious light inside, and tentacles that dance in the air like silk threads.

Although these creatures looked strange, they all showed curiosity and friendliness towards Ling Xiao and had no intention of attacking him.

Ling Xiao sensed a special connection from their behavior and aura, as if this sealed land was not entirely a world full of evil and danger, but also contained some unknown peace and mystery.

He couldn't help but wonder what the connection was between these strange creatures and the former magical kingdom and the seal of the demon god.

At the end of the passage stood a massive gate. The gate was several meters high and made of a faintly glowing stone, with a huge eye pattern carved on it.

This eye is so lifelike, it seems to see through everything, and it exudes a mysterious and majestic aura.

Ling Xiao slowly approached the gate, carefully observing the patterns and textures on it.

He discovered that the pupil of the eye appeared to be a concave circle, which was very similar to a mark he had previously seen on the mysterious bead.

Ling Xiao's heart stirred. He took out the mysterious bead and tried to align it with the pupil of the eye on the door.

As the bead approached the pupil, it suddenly emitted a bright light, and the eye pattern on the door also lit up, the lights echoing each other.

Then, the door slowly began to open with a low rumble.

As the door opened, Ling Xiao felt both nervous and excited.

He had no idea what lay behind the door—whether it held a greater secret or yet another dangerous challenge.

But he is prepared, and whatever awaits him, he will face it with his courage and wisdom.

As the door slowly opened, an ancient and mysterious aura wafted out. Ling Xiao took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked towards the world beyond the door.

A new adventure is about to begin, and the secrets of this sealed land seem about to be further revealed.

Upon entering, Ling Xiao found himself in a vast circular space. The ceiling was a dome, inlaid with countless gems emitting a soft glow, like a dazzling starry sky.

The ground was paved with smooth stone slabs, on which intricate magic circles were carved. These magic circles were interconnected, forming a huge pattern.

In the center of the space, there is a stone platform, on which sits a book that emits a faint glow.

Ling Xiao slowly walked towards the stone platform, his gaze fixed on the book. As he approached the platform, he sensed a powerful magical fluctuation emanating from the book.

He carefully picked up the book, and as soon as he touched it, the book emitted a dazzling light, within which countless words and images seemed to flicker.
