"You can even threaten this commander?"
The two-winged black angel's expression turned grave, but then it became even more ferocious. "Heh heh, this makes it more interesting."
"A bunch of ants! If I were in my prime, I could have wiped you all out with a single finger!"
Filled with venom, the two-winged black angel fell into a frenzy. Its aura was no weaker than Gong Cangtian's when he used two fused formations. The terrifying aftershocks of their mutual erosion were something even a ninth-level Divine King would not dare to face head-on.
However, Ye Xuan remained as calm as ever, seemingly unaffected.
"Oh?"
The two-winged black angel clearly sensed Ye Xuan's abnormality. "That human kid is quite interesting."
"Hmph~"
"Then this commander will show you something, heh heh~~"
With a cold snort, a mass of demonic energy then enveloped Ye Xuan.
"My lord!!!"
Gong Cangtian was truly terrified. The second elder had been successfully possessed under similar circumstances back then.
But!
Before Gong Cangtian could even worry, he saw Ye Xuan's body crackle with energy.
Terrifying lightning permeated the air. As the two-winged black angel sensed the lightning, it shrieked as if darkness had encountered light. "Ah~!!"
"Divine Lightning Bloodline! Kid, how could you possess the Divine Lightning Bloodline!!"
"The Divine Realm's Heaven's Jealous Clan still has a bloodline surviving in this world, kid~~"
"If I could obtain your body, the scene... heh heh!!!"
Thinking of this, the two-winged black angel's ferocious and excited expression intensified. However, just as it was rejoicing, Ye Xuan felt a surge of comfort throughout his body. Even the two-winged black angel didn't know that its bloodline, now in its ultimate sublimation, far surpassed mere Divine Lightning; it was no longer simply Heaven's Jealous.
It could be said that Ye Xuan's current bloodline was even more terrifying than Little Black Dragon's forbidden bloodline.
Buzz~~
Under the stunned and bewildered gazes of Gong Cangtian and the others, Ye Xuan's aura grew stronger, and surging lightning erupted. All the boundless demonic energy was purified and transformed into pure, potent energy that he absorbed. The two-winged black angel was dumbfounded by all this.
"Impossible!"
"My demonic energy, how could it be purified? Damned!"
As the last wisp of demonic energy was purified and devoured, Ye Xuan's cultivation broke through to the peak of fourth-level Divine King. This caused Ye Xuan's eyes to gleam. He looked at the two-winged black angel with a greedy glint, "Outer realm heavenly demon, quite interesting!!"
Gong Cangtian, "Uh..."
"What!"
"My heavens, the lord can actually convert the energy of an outer realm demon race for his own use, what a terrifying ability!"
"Heh, maybe this two-winged black angel can really be dealt with!!"
Seeing this, Gong Cangtian thought of something. "My lord can use the Linglong Treasure Pagoda for double suppression."
"Everyone, lend me your strength, help the lord suppress the two-winged black angel!!"
Hearing Gong Cangtian's reminder, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and a treasure pagoda appeared. It was the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. The surging demonic energy, upon sensing it, retreated fearfully.
"I wonder if the God Slaying Thunder Spear will be effective?"
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan took out the God Slaying Thunder Spear again. At this moment, the spear soul materialized, its eyes filled with fervor.
"Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and... God Slaying Emperor, God Slaying Spear Soul!!"
"Impossible!!!"
The two-winged black angel's mind exploded. What was it seeing? Those two existences, even their Black Angel clan's strongest, the Twelve-Winged Black Angel, were not their match back then.
"No..."
"This is, the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass!!!"
The two-winged black angel completely exploded. It could never have imagined that so many existences it feared were all on that scoundrel.
"Heh heh, it seems to have an effect."
"【Immortal Slaying Sword Array - Slash】!"
At this moment, Gong Cangtian unleashed his ultimate attack. A colossal sword tens of thousands of feet long then slammed down, cleaving the two-winged black angel into the formation. Under the combined suppression from all sides, the two-winged black angel entered a state of existential doubt.
"Pfft~~"
The two-winged black angel was struck by a sudden attack comparable to a second-level Divine Lord. Even it found it difficult to resist, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Its aura weakened considerably.
"Good opportunity."
Seizing the moment, Ye Xuan would not let it slip away. "【Divine Lightning Bloodline - Purify Heaven and Earth】!!"
After its ultimate sublimation, Ye Xuan had awakened this move. He didn't know if it was the work of the Divine Realm's passage.
"Ah~~~"
A shrill scream echoed. The terrifying, boundless demonic energy was purified by the Divine Lightning Bloodline at an astonishing speed, then flowed into Ye Xuan's body. Simultaneously, a portion also flowed into Gong Cangtian and the others, replenishing their consumption.
"Bastard!"
"My demonic energy source! Kid, I'll kill you!!"
Feeling its demonic energy source draining away, the two-winged black angel panicked. That was its foundation.
"Hmph~~"
Ye Xuan paid it no mind and instead increased the purification intensity. If such a feast for his soaring cultivation wasn't utilized, wouldn't it be a waste!
Fifteen minutes later, peak fourth-level Divine King!
Forty-five minutes later, fifth-level Divine King!
One hour and fifteen minutes later, peak fifth-level Divine King!
........
Half a day later, Ye Xuan's cultivation directly reached the peak of sixth-level Divine King, just one step away from seventh-level Divine King. As for the two-winged black angel, its demonic energy was already scattered. Even if Ye Xuan and the others didn't act, it would likely be annihilated by the residual power of the seal.
Buzz~
At this moment, Gong Cangtian's body trembled, and an aura far exceeding ninth-level Divine King emanated from him. It was the realm above Divine King, Divine Lord.
That's right!
At this moment, with this fortuitous encounter, Gong Cangtian had also stepped into the first level of Divine Lord!
"What!"
"The sect leader broke through with this surge of power!!"
Undoubtedly, apart from Ye Xuan, Gong Cangtian was the biggest beneficiary of this expedition. The Divine Lord realm, although Gong Cangtian was only one step away from it, that step could take decades, or even tens of thousands of years.
As Gong Cangtian entered the Divine Lord realm, he smiled coldly. "Two-winged black angel, die!"
Chiff~
A dazzling sword light, carrying a surging aura, instantly pierced the two-winged black angel's brow. That was where the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect, at the cost of their lives, had discovered its weakness.
"No!"
"I am a Divine Emperor expert, how can I die in such a small place."
"I refuse to accept this~~~"
Boom~
With an explosion, the two-winged black angel disintegrated on the spot, thus ending its prolonged, hidden existence. Its greatest mistake was not encountering Ye Xuan; otherwise, it might have had a chance to see the light of day again. Unfortunately, there are no 'what ifs' in this world.
