In that split second after Ling Feng struck, Blood Sword Heavenly Lord finally got a clear look at his face. Even though Ling Feng had fused with Despicable Donkey through a secret art, the resulting form still looked far more like Ling Feng than the donkey. This was the very same man who had ruined his plans in the Western Wilderness. Because of him, the attempt to seize the Blood Soul had ended in failure. Years of effort spent cultivating a Blood Spirit Corpse had gone up in smoke. That face was burned into his memory. There was no way he could forget it. Fury erupted from Blood Sword Heavenly Lord. He had no idea how Ling Feng had become so powerful, but from the aura pouring off his body, it was clear he had drawn strength from the Despicable Donkey. Even so, the situation was different. The evil cultivators present were many. As long as they stalled for time, the demon clan experts dispatched by the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor would arrive. Once that happened, Ling Feng would die without question. Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. Because of the fusion, his face now carried Despicable Donkey's trademark smirk. "Watch closely. This divine beast will now display the Seventy-Two Divine Donkey Techniques!" With a sudden twist of his body, Ling Feng struck a ridiculous pose, then shot forward with a kick that exploded into a searing arc of light. It clashed head-on with Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's sword strike. Leg and sword collided. The combined brute strength of Ling Feng and Despicable Donkey, along with the sheer physical dominance of their fused body, sent Blood Sword Heavenly Lord staggering back from the force of the blow. Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's pupils shrank violently. Even with the donkey's help, this level of power... could Ling Feng really have reached emperor level? Last time they met, Ling Feng had only just stepped into the Pulse Formation Realm! Just then, a roar echoed across the sky. As Blood Sword Heavenly Lord was forced back, the eight king-tier ghost fiends he had summoned were completely engulfed by the blazing third-phase Devouring Flame. They let out howls of agony before collapsing into nothing. One by one, their forms were consumed and vanished from sight. The third-phase Devouring Flame had already reached pseudo-immortal tier. After devouring so many ranked abnormal fires, its destructive power was beyond measure. What made it even more terrifying was that it was being fueled by Despicable Donkey's demon emperor-level demonic essence. At full release, its strength was enough to incinerate even the laws of heaven. The ghost fiends had been condensed from Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's evil qi. But under the relentless incineration of that purple flame, all those twisted laws fell apart. The ghost fiends were wiped out without a trace. "No... no! This isn't real!" Blood Sword Heavenly Lord trembled. His voice cracked as he cried out. He could only watch in horror as the ghost fiends he had forged through painstaking effort were devoured before his eyes. Each one had been crafted with blood, sweat, and months of cultivation, using the dark power of his ancient demonic sword. Yet now, they were gone, just like that. Everything he had built, gone in an instant! "Don't grieve just yet. You'll be joining them soon enough, down in the deepest hell!" Ling Feng's expression turned cold. The terrifying Devouring Flame rose higher around him. Within the purple blaze, one could faintly see another kind of energy flowing. It was the power of reincarnation! Murderous light flashed through Ling Feng's eyes. He raised the Eradicator of Realms high, and the power of Reincarnated Sword Will burst from the blade. "Reincarnation—Heaven-Slaying Slash!" In that instant, nine glowing inscriptions erupted from his body. They spiraled upward into the sky like nine Jiao dragons. As his sword came down, the Reincarnated Sword Will surged forth. The nine glowing seals gleamed with blinding radiance. The sword energy released was so intense that it made the very air feel like it was slicing through skin. The void shuddered. A vast wave of reincarnation energy swept outward, distorting time and space. The heavens felt like they had frozen. Danger. An overwhelming, bone-deep sense of danger! Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's expression changed. A tremor ran through his brow. For the first time, a single terrifying thought surfaced in his heart. Without hesitation, he vanished in a flash, fleeing into the distance rather than facing the sword head-on. But in the next instant, he realized something was wrong. Ling Feng had never intended to strike him at all. The sword had been aimed at the group beneath the altar, where hundreds of evil cultivators were channeling spiritual essence into the Evil Dao White Lotus. Over two hundred Spiritual Element Realm experts stood there. They were not elite combatants, but they were the true core of the cult. And now, all of them stood directly in the path of Ling Feng's Reincarnation Heaven-Slaying Slash! Blood Sword Heavenly Lord screamed in panic, but it was already too late. The devastating sword energy came crashing down. The altar was obliterated, and everything in its path was reduced to ashes. The moment the power of reincarnation touched them, the cultivators had the very life drained from their bodies. Their eyes turned dull and lifeless. One by one, they collapsed, their souls swept away. Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's face darkened. He joined forces with several king-tier experts to contain the lingering sword pressure. Only then did the destructive force stop spreading. But even so, more than a hundred evil dao cultivators had been killed on the spot. These were not low-level cannon fodder. They were the foundation of the Blood God Cult! The Demon-Masked Lord, Lin Canglang, had spent years cultivating this force. And now, over half of it has been wiped out in a single stroke. "Hahaha! Now that's what I call satisfying. This is the true power of the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art!" Excitement surged through Ling Feng's chest. He had just unleashed a strike on the level of an emperor. This kind of raw power could only be described with one word: Thrilling! "You damn brat! You deserve to die a thousand times!" Blood Sword Heavenly Lord's face twisted in rage. The Supreme Lotus Seed had been stolen, the Evil Dao White Lotus destroyed, and most of his followers reduced to corpses. All of this had been caused by Ling Feng. His eyes turned blood-red. The ancient demonic sword in his hand erupted with black light. A massive blaze of demonic fire shot into the sky. "Kill him! I want him dead!" His furious roar echoed across the entire Yanming Sea. Dozens of king-tier evil dao cultivators shouted in response and charged toward Ling Feng like lunatics. A terrifying tide of evil qi, malevolent qi, and ghostly mist surged skyward. The skies darkened. The atmosphere twisted under the pressure. One after another, the king-tier experts activated their rule-based powers. Their techniques exploded like hurricanes, all of them locked onto Ling Feng. Even Ling Feng, with Despicable Donkey's power fused into him, was forced to back off under the barrage. "Kid, we don't have much time left!" Despicable Donkey's voice echoed inside Ling Feng's mind. The fusion would only last for fifteen minutes. If they failed to break through in time, they would face catastrophic consequences. "Heh. Let's kill a few more first." Ling Feng's gaze turned cold. Murderous light danced in his eyes. These evil cultivators had long since abandoned any shred of humanity. Not a single one deserved to walk away alive! With a flash, Ling Feng vanished into the void. Spatial laws warped around him as he dodged the incoming attacks and reappeared several thousand zhang away in an instant. (This is one of Despicable Donkey's techniques) "You little bastard! Don't even think about escaping! Soul-Devouring Seal!" Blood Sword Heavenly Lord let out a furious roar. A massive skeletal seal shot upward and locked the surrounding space in place, releasing waves of evil qi. Ling Feng let out a cold laugh. "I might not be able to kill you just yet. But the rest of them... not a single one is getting out of here alive!"
