Chapter 1694: Chapter 754: Demon Emperor vs. Demon Ancestor

The South Nether Emperor Zhanhen, worthy of being the elite among demons, reached the peak of his demonic power in rage as he watched his beloved wife being insulted.

With one palm strike, he killed Elder Ying of the Great Divine Power Realm. His gaze burned like fire, and when he raised his arm with a roar, even the wind and clouds changed hue due to his fury.

Tang Lei realized that his chances were slim today, caught between life and death. He remembered the sole treasure that could save his life, that cauldron piece from the Tang Family.

Soul Devouring Transformation!

If he could break through the final layer of the Soul Devouring Transformation, he might still have a chance to survive.

Tang Lei took out the cauldron piece, raised it, and sliced it towards his own wrist.

Thick blood gushed out, and as soon as it touched the cauldron piece, the intricate and bizarre patterns on it grew like vines.

The cauldron piece flew towards Tang Lei like a piece of flesh, "poof," covering his face and transforming into a sinister mask.

The mask was blue-faced and fang-bearing, resembling an Asura ghost evil, with a ghostly green light glimmering in Tang Lei’s eyes.

"Cackle, what of the Demon Emperor? Today, I’ll show you the power of the ’Soul Devouring Transformation.’" Tang Lei opened his mouth, revealing his deathly white teeth, and took a deep breath.

On the ground, a black, eerie wind swept across, stirring the corpses of the Tongtian Tribe, Golden Horn Tribe, and some Human Clan captives.

Wisps of souls, either white or black, emanated from these corpses. White for Human Clan souls, black for Demon Clan souls.

Swept by the eerie wind, all those souls flew toward Tang Lei.

Tang Lei swallowed them whole, absorbing all the souls into his belly.

As the souls entered his stomach, his body shone with black light.

His skin turned a bluish-green, and his height suddenly increased by a few inches.

Tang Lei felt a surge of mighty power in his Dantian, instantly breaking through the Peak of Small Divine Power Realm, reaching Great Divine Power Realm Early Stage, Great Divine Power Realm Great Success, and Great Divine Power Peak.

This was the power of the third layer of the Soul Devouring Transformation!

Power, the power he had longed for.

He wanted to devour, devour more souls.

Tang Lei’s gaze turned icy as he stared longingly at the South Nether Emperor Zhanhen.

The soul of a Demon Emperor must be very delicious.

"Give me your soul!"

Tang Lei punched out, and facing such a mutation, Zhanhen was startled and grew alert.

Holding Moonflower with one hand, Zhanhen raised his iron arm.

A vigorous Earth Power formed a barrier.

"Earth Barrier!" But Tang Lei’s sinister mask flashed, and the green light in his eyes intensified. He opened his mouth and let out a strange croon.

With a "bang," his leg swept out, shattering the Earth Barrier.

Tang Lei darted out, the South Nether Emperor, holding Queen Moonflower, his movement technique affected.

With the assistance of the cauldron piece and continually absorbing surrounding souls, Tang Lei’s demonic power grew rapidly.

In an instant, he reached behind Zhanhen and fiercely bit the back of the South Nether Emperor Zhanhen’s neck.

The taste of the Demon Emperor’s flesh, a magnificent flavor, endless soul power, like the most delectable feast.

But before Tang Lei could savor the exquisite taste of the Demon Emperor’s soul, he suddenly trembled all over, as if he had discovered something extremely terrifying.

The Demon Emperor’s soul was so overwhelming that just a tiny bit could frighten demons into submission.

The vast amount of souls absorbed into Tang Lei’s body began to flee in fear, instantly dissipating the power he had amassed through Soul Devouring Transformation.

From heaven to hell, Tang Lei found it too late to regret now.

"Scoundrel!"

Zhanhen’s expression turned icy, enduring the piercing pain on his neck.

"Five Mountains Dominator Kill!"

A mighty mountain range appeared in the sky.

The mountains surged like a tidal wave, crushing down from the sky, strong enough to pulverize even a Vajra Body into dust under such immense Earth Power.

Tang Lei tried to evade, but the overwhelming Earth Power of the Five Mountains Dominator Kill was too strong. With a loud boom, Tang Lei was crushed beneath the Five Mountains.

"I will tear you into pieces."

Zhanhen snorted coldly, a Demon Blade suddenly appearing in his hand, ready to sever Tang Lei’s head.

Yet at this moment, a sword pierced through the air. Zhanhen grunted, retreating several steps, only to see two figures emerge not far away.

Midnight passed, approaching dawn, the darkest hour of the night.

In the dim light, Zhanhen and Moonflower saw the two figures.

A man and a woman walked towards them. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

The man’s stature was tall and graceful as jade, the woman, dressed in enchanting dance attire, nestled in the man’s arms. Together, they moved as harmoniously as stars with the moon, creating a captivating scene.

"Di Shen?"

Zhanhen’s heart shook upon seeing Di Shen.

Even though Di Shen had been dead for over five hundred years, and Zhanhen knew Di Shen had been reborn.

Yet when Di Shen reappeared before him, Zhanhen instinctively hesitated.

"Di Shen, save me quickly."

Tang Lei saw Di Shen as if seeing a savior, urgently crying out for help.

"Wife, we’ve watched long enough. Do you think we should save him?"

Di Shen chuckled coolly, seeking his wife’s opinion.

By now, he and Ye Lingyue had been present for a while.

Since the incident, the yet silent Moonflower was doused with the sudden realization, as if drenched with a bucket of cold water, she raised her head in disbelief to look at Di Shen.

"You’ve both been here all along? Di Shen! Did you watch that person...?"

The rest of her words choked up and couldn’t continue.

Di Shen had been there all along, yet he had cruelly refrained from acting, watching as Tang Lei sullied her purity.

"Di Shen, how can you treat Moonflower like this, she has..."

Zhanhen, upon hearing, flared up with rage.

"How has she treated me? You must be South Nether Emperor Zhanhen, unable to manage your own woman, yet here you are blathering. It’s quite amusing. She is nothing to me, so why would I save her?"

Di Shen and Ye Lingyue had remained vigilant against the Tang Family’s Representative Team. They had Xi Jiuye divert the Demon King Tongtian and left the banquet venue; coincidentally, at that moment, Little Wuya brought news about the whereabouts of Second Young Master Tang and the Tang Family’s Representative Team.

Arriving as Tang Lei was committing that vile deed, Di Shen did not wish his wife’s eyes sullied and took her away.

No matter the past ties he had with Moonflower and Zhanhen.

In this lifetime, he cared only for his wife and his close brothers.

He hadn’t intended to save Tang Lei, but his wife indicated Tang Lei had uses, so he agreed to act.

"Today, I will ensure your death."

Zhanhen’s eyes turned red, but Moonflower held him back. Her complexion was haggard, trembling like a leaf in the wind.

Di Shen’s cold and heartless demeanor shattered her last hope into a distant dream.

"Zhanhen, I beg you to take me away."
