Chapter 1171: Devouring Lingjing. True Devil Evolution

The ice-cold, wax figure pierced through the air. This sudden development attracted the attention of all those present. They looked on in surprise, unsure of what was happening.

Li Luo similarly saw the exquisite and lifelike wax figure, but he noticed that it was wielding an Aquamarine Bamboo Python Staff. His eyes shrunk.

"Cousin Lingjing!" In a blink, he understood what had happened. He quickly shouted, "Watch out! That wax figure contains the fourth True Devil Egg! The White Eyed True Devil wishes to absorb her!"

The expressions of the rest changed when they heard him. There was still another True Devil Egg that had not fused with the main body? The current White Eyed True Devil was already a Duke, and if it were to fuse with the last egg, just how much would its strength soar by?

If that came to pass, even if Ning Meng, Jiang Qing'e, and Wu Changkong were to exert all their strength, they would be unable to deal with it.

Thus, Feng Lingyuan, Yue Zhiyu, and the rest immediately took action, activating their resonant power and blasting it towards the human wax figure. Unfortunately, their attacks were incapable of penetrating even the outer layer.

At the same time, the White Eyed True Devil waved its hand, and a wormhole opened in front of the wax figure.

The wax figure then appeared right beside the White Eyed True Devil in just an instant.

The trio felt their hearts sink upon seeing this. Before they could even react, half of the White Eyed True Devil's body liquefied and directly enveloped the wax figure of Li Lingjing.

"Stop him!" Ning Meng hurriedly shouted as she swung her weapon. The void shattered, and black cracks that resembled black dragons shot towards the White Eyed True Devil.

Jiang Qing'e and Wu Changkong were no slower. They could already feel that the fusion of the fourth True Devil Egg would cause the White Eyed True Devil's power to increase explosively.

Majestic attacks poured forth, striking the White Eyed True Devil's liquid form.

Bang!

The attacks left numerous holes on its body. Unfortunately, they healed almost as quickly as they had appeared.

The entire group could feel a terrible sense of unease, and Feng Lingyuan and the rest began to attack with everything they had.

For a brief moment, the worldly natural energy around them surged violently as densely-packed, mighty Duke Arts and treasured artifacts shattered the void and blasted towards the White Eyed True Devil.

However, the White Eyed True Devil did not retaliate when faced with the barrage of attacks, letting it all land on its body.

The waxy liquid flowed and instantly recovered from all the damage it had sustained.

This continued to occur until the wax oil suddenly stopped moving to restore the damage that had been done. Instead, a halo of white light was emitted with the White Eyed True Devil as the center.

Everything passed through the halo, resonant power included, solidified before being enveloped by a thick, white, waxy liquid.

A moment later, numerous waxy objects fell from the sky.

An entire region around the White Eyed True Devil had turned into a seemingly impenetrable space, and no attacks could get close to it.

This caused a chill in the group's hearts.

Then an unsettling cackle resounded through the air.

As everyone glanced at the White Eyed True Devil, they could see the white, waxy liquid slowly slide down its face. A pair of cold and indifferent pupils had reappeared on its head.

However, something that caused everyone to feel a chill down their spines occurred. There was no longer just a pair of eyes. A nose and a mouth were gradually appearing.

The nose was like a sharp awl, a little strange to see. Its lips were pale, devoid of blood.

On its exposed chest, what was once three struggling faces had now turned into four.

The only thing was that whilst the first three seemed to be in constant agony, the fourth one was incomparably calm.

Li Luo felt heartbroken as he looked at the familiar visage that had just appeared. The wax figure that had been assimilated was most definitely Cousin Lingjing.

Killing intent arose in his heart. This damnable White Eyed True Devil! That despicable All-Beings Devil King! If Cousin Lingjing was truly harmed, he would engrave this vendetta in his mind and would take revenge for her one day!

The others did not seem to notice who the fourth individual was. All of their attention was now focused upon the increasingly terrifying undulations of energy coming from the enemy.

Even the strongest trio had unsettled expressions.

They could sense from the pressure emanating from the White Eyed True Devil that it had not just strengthened by one grade.

It was previously on par with a first-grade Duke. However, the feeling it gave off now was not just equivalent to a second-grade, but almost a third-grade Duke!

This was a massive gap that they could not bridge with the cards they had on hand.

Even with the aid of the Crimson Heart Golden Seals and their trump cards, the best they could do as a group was butt heads with a first-grade True Devil. Now that it had catapulted into the third-grade, it was extremely difficult to handle.

Everyone could feel a hint of despair arising within their hearts.

This mighty opponent had far surpassed what they were capable of dealing with. Wasn't the difficulty of this mobilization mission much too high?

Jiang Qing'e, on the other hand, was the only that did not seem to have fallen into the pits of despair. She frowned as she glanced towards Li Luo. If the situation was about to turn tail, she would have to try escaping with him.

If that did not work, then there was only one path left to take.

She would have to once again activate the sacrificial ignition of her Heart of Light.

Alas, this was an extreme decision. She had already used it once, and a second time would lead to unimaginable consequences. It wasn't even certain if she would survive.

Despite the danger to herself, she would not hesitate to make that decision if she could save Li Luo's life.

As her mind churned, the White Eyed True Devil's pale lips gradually curved into an arc.

It raised its hand, and black clouds began to condense, the culmination of incredible amounts of corruption.

A moment later, rain began to fall.

The raindrops were the size of beans, but instead of water, it was white wax oil.

The wax oil was cold to the touch and radiated a biting chill.

The white rain covered the entire area, transforming it into a prison that none could escape from.

......

At the same time, in the void outside the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm

The two Kings were still seated in the lotus position.

The All-Beings Devil King that had taken the form of an old man had a terrible smile on his face as it faced Wang Xuanjin.

"The four True Devil Eggs have fused and its might is unstoppable. Your little students have tried their best. Wang Xuanjin, the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm will soon become part of the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion."

Wang Xuanjin's gaze was focused on the realm before him. His abstruse gaze seemed to penetrate the void and see everything that was going on within.

He smiled gently in response. "It looks like not everything is under your control."

The Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm, which had previously been shrouded in mist, was now incomparably clear in his eyes. His gaze transcended the void and landed on a certain youth wielding a bow in the All-Beings Palace.

The All-Beings Devil King glanced casually as it returned the smile. "Are you referring to the Duke spirit beast on that person? I have already taken his external power into account. If he activates it, the endless amounts of corruption will make him understand that a spirit beast's power is not so easily wielded."

Wang Xuanjin indifferently replied, "All-Beings Devil King, do you believe that I've merely been watching a show this whole time? That I am incapable of doing anything?"

"Hm?" The All-Beings Devil King's wizened expression changed, then it transformed into a child with dark eyes, with looks that seemed to have been carved out of jade. He continued to mercilessly glare at Wang Xuanjin.

Wang Xuanjin smiled lightly as his gaze remained focused on the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm

"When four of the seven Ten Thousand Skin Devil Heart Pillars were destroyed, the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm was no longer under the All-Being Ghostly Skin Dominion's control."

He raised a finger and pointed at the realm. At the same time, countless motes of light arose within the realm, piercing through the void, congregating within the All-Beings Palace.
