A battle ensued, and Ji Mo had lost count of how many demonic creatures he had obliterated.
However, these abominations were tenacious; after being blown apart, they would quickly reassemble and return to their original forms.
Protected by immortal matter within his body, it was incredibly difficult to completely annihilate them, which explained why that senior had chosen to seal them away.
Since they were hard to kill, he would simply drain them dry.
Ji Mo grew fierce, fully activating the Heavenly Demon Mark.
He intended to absorb all of them.
Ji Mo’s eyes blazed like stars, emitting dazzling light, while the Heavenly Demon Mark on his body shimmered with vibrant colors, radiating immensely brilliant halos.
At this moment, Ji Hanhan’s aura transformed completely.
He was like a demon lord awakening, looking down upon heaven and earth, unleashing a terrifying pressure that directly dispersed the pervasive black mist. His unparalleled might struck fear into all the demonic creatures, causing them to tremble.
"This bastard is so insidious and cunning, actually hiding his strength all along. We've always been the ones to devour everything, at the apex of the food chain. Does he truly intend to hunt us instead?"
The Heart-Devouring Demon’s expression flickered, believing it had encountered an even more sinister schemer than itself.
It had initially thought it could easily handle Ji Mo, only to discover this fellow was playing the fool to catch the tiger, turning the tables on them.
However, protected by immortal matter, it refused to believe Ji Mo could truly do anything to them.
Even that formidable woman from back then couldn't kill them all. At worst, they would be sealed again.
Yet, the screams that followed instantly shattered the Heart-Devouring Demon’s wishful thinking.
A demon was shattered by Ji Mo, its immortal matter instantly drained dry and unable to recover, leading to its complete demise.
From then on, it was an unstoppable cascade.
Ji Mo, having tasted the sweetness of their essence, felt how nourishing they were and, overjoyed, began a ruthless harvest.
He was like a rampaging dragon unleashed, unstoppable. No one could withstand his second wave.
Each was punched apart, then drained dry, never to live again.
Initially, the demonic creatures had planned to hunt Ji Mo together. Little did they know, they had become Ji Mo’s prey, to be hunted relentlessly.
"Damn you, Heart-Devouring Demon, what kind of monster did you provoke?"
All the demonic creatures on the scene were terrified and directed their fury at the Heart-Devouring Demon.
They could have continued to survive by remaining sealed.
But now, the moment they emerged, they became prey, drained dry.
They even suspected the Heart-Devouring Demon had defected and was betraying them.
"Don't panic. With so many of us, are we afraid he can drain us all? At most, a few dozen, and he’ll be overwhelmed."
The Heart-Devouring Demon tried to comfort the other demons, urging them to remain calm. Ultimately, victory would be theirs.
After all, every living being’s body had a limit to its capacity. No matter how strong Ji Mo’s bloodline was, he could only absorb a few dozen of them at most before his body would explode.
However.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Mo had absorbed over a hundred. Not only did he show no signs of discomfort, but his aura grew even stronger.
"This is unreasonable. Does this fellow’s body have no limits?"
The Heart-Devouring Demon was stunned, unable to comprehend why this was happening.
A distorted black shadow discovered the clue and said gravely, "This kid has major issues. Not only does he possess the Yanhuang bloodline, but his physique is also extraordinary. He is definitely among the top hundred supreme sacred bodies in the myriad worlds. To defeat him, one must avoid his sharp edge and attack his soul."
It immediately joined forces with over a thousand demonic creatures skilled in soul attacks and acted in unison.
The black shadow unleashed a secret technique, a Dark Heavenly Art, gathering the psychic power of a thousand demons to launch an offensive.
Beam after beam of light shot into the sky, stacking upon each other to form a colossal hexagram.
The hexagram was as large as a star, spewing runes. Soul power surged like a turbulent tide, layer upon layer, sweeping towards Ji Mo like an incoming wave.
The sky itself could not withstand this energy, cracking open and filling with fissures, like a shattered mirror.
The mountains, buildings, and everything on the ground rapidly exploded, turning into dust filling the air.
This was soul power exceeding a certain limit, becoming materialized, with astonishing power.
Explosions sounded continuously, like muffled thunder. Surrounding peaks and strata instantly shattered.
However.
Ji Mo stood firm as a mountain. His crystalline body rippled with golden waves, resisting the attack.
His body remained unharmed, and his spirit was completely unaffected.
"This is impossible! How can he have no weaknesses? Even his divine soul is so powerful it cannot be shaken!"
The black shadow was dumbfounded, realizing Ji Mo was far more terrifying than imagined.
His physical body was invincible, his soul flawless. If Ji Mo weren't of the Yanhuang lineage, it would suspect him to be a sliver of an eternal existence descended.
Ji Mo sensed the soul attack and frowned slightly, countless runes appearing in the depths of his eyes.
"Ah..."
The next second, the black shadow and others suffered a backlash of psychic energy, their eyes bleeding, their heads splitting with pain, letting out desperate screams.
Even more than half could not withstand it, their heads exploding on the spot.
Ji Mo showed no mercy, directly draining the immortal matter from their bodies before continuing his harvest.
He was beaming, his body nourished, and his evolution progress steadily increasing.
This was a massive gain. If he could drain all the demonic creatures here, his evolution progress might reach around 50%.
"This is like leveling up in reality. It truly makes one feel ecstatic. If there were a few more waves, perhaps I could complete my evolution."
Ji Mo was overjoyed and eager to finish evolving.
This area had become a slaughterhouse.
Not a single demonic creature could resist Ji Mo's harvest.
In the past, they regarded life as insignificant, ruthlessly devouring other beings.
The cycle of heaven was in motion; now it was their turn to be harvested.
"I will perish with you!"
The Heart-Devouring Demon’s eyes turned crimson, roaring madly.
If this continued, it would inevitably be drained dry.
Now, it could only try to eliminate Ji Mo at all costs.
This place was their lair, and they still had a trump card hidden.
It would not have used it unless absolutely necessary, but now, knowing certain death awaited, it chose to perish with Ji Mo.
The Heart-Devouring Demon raised its hand, forming mysterious seals and constantly injecting them in all directions.
Instantly.
The earth shook and the heavens trembled.
This space violently vibrated, emitting rumbling sounds. The void exploded, the ground convulsed, a scene of great destruction.
The already fissured void began to collapse, and spacetime power completely erupted.
Turbulent spacetime currents appeared, and black holes of various sizes emerged, beginning to devour everything around them.
This was the Heart-Devouring Demon's greatest trump card: to destroy this world completely. Even if it couldn't kill Ji Mo, it would drag him into the spacetime currents and banish him eternally.
This was an act of burying Ji Mo using everything in this small world, along with their own lives.
The Heart-Devouring Demon was indeed ruthless. This move was utterly inescapable.
The Heart-Devouring Demon’s face was filled with madness. Seeing Ji Mo swallowed by a black hole, it revealed a look of wild joy.
To drag Ji Mo down with it, death was worth it.
Boom!
This world was utterly destroyed, everything turning into nothingness.
At the entrance to the Sacred Land, Bai Jingjing and the others watched the entrance being swallowed by the black hole, their hearts aching, their faces drained of color.
