Not good!
For a moment, he was affected by the illusionary power of the Dark Kun.
The Blazing Devil Venerable quickly slapped his forehead, reined in his mind, and the illusion then disappeared.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from overhead, and killing intent struck.
The Blazing Devil Venerable watched as a purple lightning bolt descended. He widened his eyes, trying to escape, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain. He was instantly enveloped by the electric light.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…
Electric light danced, silver snakes writhed, and the Blazing Devil Venerable convulsed as he was struck, his hair turning to charcoal.
The Dragon Hound seized the opportunity, pouncing forward and biting fiercely at his neck.
"Ugh…"
The Blazing Devil Venerable felt a sharp pain in his throat, his brain short-circuited, and he never expected to die so quickly.
With a crack, the Dragon Hound bit into his body and threw him violently. In mid-air, a tentacle extended, piercing the Blazing Devil Venerable's body, coiling back, and stuffing it into its dark, cavernous maw. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Fan Tian had no idea that the Blazing Devil Venerable was already dead.
He used his sand-shifting ability to turn into countless fine grains of sand, sinking into the pitch-black mud beneath the Dark Kun's body.
The surroundings were already reeking from the Dark Kun's viscous slime, which strongly stimulated Fan Tian's olfactory senses, yet he had to hide here, waiting for his chance.
"Sand Vein Heart, where is it, where is it!?" Fan Tian was inexplicably anxious, constantly moving and observing underground.
What powerful shielding force! He could only vaguely sense that the Sand Vein Heart was nearby, but he couldn't determine its exact location within the Dark Kun's body.
The Dark Kun's body was too enormous. If he couldn't accurately pinpoint the Sand Vein Heart's location and retrieve it instantly, Fan Tian was certain he would be attacked by the Dark Kun, and he wouldn't be able to dodge it.
He might even be caught in the crossfire from Li Tianjue and Su Luo's attacks.
Listening to the continuous booming sounds from above, as well as the Dark Kun's roars, Fan Tian grew increasingly panicked.
As time passed, it became harder for him to detect the fluctuations of the Sand Vein Heart.
Could it have been absorbed by the Dark Kun?
He couldn't delay any longer!
Fan Tian's heart trembled violently. He immediately transformed into sharp stone edges and burst out of the earth. The Dark Kun's enormous body, confined by the Brahma Moluo, could barely move. It was immediately pierced through.
The sharp stone edges, over ten feet high, deeply penetrated the Dark Kun's body. It roared in pain, and its wildly flailing tentacles, like ghostly shadows, became even more frenzied.
Killing intent surged, and the oppressive pressure descended like a tidal wave, accompanied by astonishing hurricanes. Both Li Tianjue and Su Luo, not far away, and Fan Tian, who had pierced the Dark Kun's body, felt dizzy and on the verge of being blown away.
"Fan Tian, find the bone crystal core… kill, kill the Dark Kun…" Su Luo, covering her head in pain, still shouted.
Battered by the air currents, she swayed precariously. Li Tianjue quickly plunged his Candle Dragon Sword into the ground and, using his arms, embraced her in time. Su Luo had almost been blown away.
The Candle Dragon Sword carved a deep, web-like crack in the ground. Li Tianjue, holding Su Luo, still couldn't stabilize himself. The immense force forced them to retreat continuously.
This was the Dark Kun's strength, a powerful surge at the brink of death.
Fan Tian was certainly not going to die, and he also heard Su Luo's voice.
Kill the Dark Kun?
Kill what!
He only wanted to find the Sand Vein Heart and searched desperately within the Dark Kun's body.
Everywhere was soft, rotten, and foul-smelling. The slime coated Fan Tian's entire body, making him almost faint and vomit up all his previous meals. He lay there, catching his breath for a moment, when the Dark Kun violently shook again, as if trying to crush and swallow him.
"Ah—" Fan Tian cried out.
It hurt so much. The Dark Kun's blood and bodily fluids were highly corrosive.
Fan Tian once again turned into sand and condensed again.
He terrifyingly discovered that his strength was weakening, his sand-shifting ability becoming sluggish. For the first time, he felt a sense of losing control. Had his Sand Vein Heart been completely absorbed?
Fan Tian was going mad.
He refused to die here. He was the noble young master of the Demonic Sect, born with the Sand Vein Body. He hadn't even conquered the world, how could he die inside this dark, foul-smelling Dark Kun?
Fan Tian had only one thought: he wanted to live!
Whoever dared to make him die, he would make them die first!
Mustering his last ounce of strength, disregarding the stench and filth, he transformed into stone edges and pierced through the Dark Kun's body, charging recklessly.
The Dark Kun roared in pain, but its massive body couldn't move. The intense pain within caused its tentacles to lash out wildly, attacking Su Luo and Li Tianjue madly.
Boom, boom!
Lightning bolts struck one after another, making the Dark Kun sometimes writhe and sometimes stiffen.
Su Luo controlled her Jadeite Sword, constantly piercing the Dark Kun's interior, attempting to shatter the bone crystal core in its head. Although she hadn't found it yet, she inflicted more wounds upon the Dark Kun.
Even more fatal was that Fan Tian had given up everything, continuously charging within the Dark Kun.
Destroying everything.
Finally, Fan Tian pierced through a hard object and felt something.
A mass of strong energy crystal… what was that? Was it the Dark Kun's bone crystal core?
At the same time, the Dark Kun felt intense pain. Its skull had been pierced, its life force ebbing, and it sensed a fatal crisis.
It frantically contracted its tentacles, abandoning its attack on Su Luo and Li Tianjue, wanting only to expel the foreign object within.
Its soft muscles twisted and squeezed, trying to crush Fan Tian into pieces. Even in his stone-edge form, he couldn't withstand this power and was instantly pulverized.
Not good, he was going to die!
Before Fan Tian could completely turn to sand, he desperately enveloped the crystal.
They would die together!
Boom!
A powerful shockwave, like thousands upon thousands of tons of explosives detonating simultaneously, directly destroyed everything around them. Large rocks tumbled down, the ground collapsed, and dust filled the air.
A massive boulder fell heavily onto Su Luo's head, instantly making her disappear from Li Tianjue's sight.
"Luoluo!" Li Tianjue's pupils contracted sharply.
His body's powerful energy pushed open the falling rocks before him. He charged forward recklessly, and at the critical moment, he grabbed Su Luo's hand and pulled her into his embrace.
Massive stones rolled and fragments shot out, striking Li Tianjue's body. The overwhelming waves of energy buffeted him, finally breaching his spiritual energy shield, and sharp edges pierced his flesh.
The earth shook, the heavens cracked, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Su Luo knew nothing. In the darkness, she only felt someone holding her tightly, protecting her. Regardless of the sounds she heard or the crises around her, she remained safe, like a small boat on the sea, constantly tossed about but always secure.
The aftermath continued for a quarter of an hour before slowly calming down.
Smoke curled upwards. As Su Luo regained consciousness, she coughed several times from the dust.
Then a muffled groan reached her ears, and she recognized it as Li Tianjue's voice: "Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"No, noth-nothing…"
Li Tianjue's voice was noticeably hoarse, indicating he was injured.
The surroundings were dim, and Su Luo couldn't see anything clearly. Fortunately, she was unharmed. She immediately sensed that the Dark Kun's presence had vanished. That evil, chilling power was also gone.
The Dark Kun was dead!
Su Luo was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, she felt Li Tianjue right in front of her, still holding her tightly. In the darkness, they were pressed so close together that she was almost entirely in his arms.
