The arrogant Black Dragon King was finally devoured after Mo Fan’s relentless efforts.
However, Black Robe was also swallowed into the internal space.
Black Robe was too close to the Black Dragon King, and the Heaven-Swallowing Technique was a range-based attack, so even Mo Fan could not avoid affecting her.
In an instant, Mo Fan released Black Robe from his internal space.
Even so, Black Robe still suffered from the erosion of that terrifying force, half of her body in demon mantis form turned to white bones, her aura immediately weakened, and her expression was filled with fear.
“Black Robe, are you alright?”
Mo Fan looked at Black Robe with concern. She came to her senses upon hearing this, and when she looked at Mo Fan again, her eyes were filled with deep awe.
“My life is not in danger for now. Eating that creature’s demon heart should help me recover somewhat.”
Black Robe shook her head, and two tentacles reached out from behind her, holding both a demon core and a heart.
Without hesitation, she swallowed the heart in one gulp.
Boom!
The next moment, a terrifying demonic aura spread out, completely enveloping her massive body.
Seeing this, Mo Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to immerse his divine sense in his internal space, only to find that the Black Dragon King was still alive, his body radiating golden light, seemingly resisting that invisible, terrifying force.
“As expected of the legendary Chi Dragon, even without its heart and demon core, it still has such vigorous vitality.”
Mo Fan marvelled in his heart.
Though the Black Dragon King was now at its last gasp, making a final struggle, Mo Fan still found it incredibly powerful.
At the very least, the Black Dragon King was the strongest Demon King he had ever encountered.
Of course, much of this was due to being underwater, which limited many of Mo Fan’s techniques, and Black Robe was similarly suppressed by the environment, unable to reach her peak combat strength.
As for Bai Jinghu, though a vengeful spirit, the Black Dragon King’s mental strength was formidable, expelling Bai Jinghu from its body several times.
“What kind of damned place is this?”
“I’m done!”
“Let me out!”
“I surrender, I surrender!”
As time passed, the golden light on the Black Dragon King’s body grew dimmer, and it finally panicked, looking up and shouting in terror.
“I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn’t cherish it.”
“Now it’s too late. You might as well obediently become nourishment for my cultivation.”
Mo Fan’s cold voice echoed in the internal space, filling the Black Dragon King with despair.
“Who are you?”
“I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?”
The Black Dragon King roared, its eyes filled with unwillingness.
“I’ll let you die knowing. Do you know the Golden Demon?”
At this, the Black Dragon King finally understood, roaring in fury, “So it was him!”
“I curse my fate!”
With one final unwilling cry, the Black Dragon King’s body began to disintegrate under the invisible force, vanishing at a visible rate.
At the same time, Mo Fan’s thoughts stirred, extracting a cloud of ghostly mist from the Black Dragon King’s body.
When the mist solidified, it took the form of Bai Jinghu.
“Thank you, Master, for saving me!”
Bai Jinghu, trembling, knelt on the ground, offering Mo Fan a deep bow.
He had been truly terrified, almost despairing.
He had witnessed one vengeful spirit after another vanish under that invisible force.
Though he was already dead, if he could continue existing in the world, he naturally did not wish to dissipate.
Existence meant hope.
“No need for such formalities. You played a great role in slaying this Black Dragon King, and I would not betray you.”
Mo Fan smiled, then sighed, “It’s a pity about those dozens of Demon General-level vengeful spirits. They were too weak, unable to hold on until I could save them, and they dissipated one after another.”
The invisible force in his internal space was too domineering, even Mo Fan was wary of it.
Though he could release objects from his internal space, he could not control that invisible force, let alone stop it.
“If one day I could wield that force, wouldn’t I be able to easily kill King-level demons? Perhaps even Ancestor-level demons wouldn’t be able to resist it.”
Mo Fan thought to himself, but soon felt a surge of immense power feeding back to him.
Boom!
In an instant, Mo Fan felt as if chaos had exploded in his mind, causing his body to tremble, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.
The immense power coursed through him. Mo Fan saw the terrified Bai Jinghu, Black Robe looking at him with even greater respect, the fine patterns and runes on the mountain wall, and several Demon Generals hiding behind rocks in the distance.
This time, Mo Fan saw far too many scenes, extending over twenty miles before hitting a barrier and beginning to retract his mind.
“This is… divine sense projection.”
The moment Mo Fan opened his eyes, he understood what had just happened.
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He had not yet broken through to the Demon King realm, but under the feedback of power, his divine sense had undergone a tremendous change, now capable of projection.
Divine sense projection was a hallmark of Demon Kings among the demon race.
This meant his divine sense was comparable to that of a Demon King.
At the same time, two pieces of information appeared in Mo Fan’s mind.
Technique, Dragon Qi Protection: A natural technique of dragon-type demons. When activated, it consumes vast demonic energy, instantly triggering dragon qi for protection.
Technique, Chi Dragon Transformation: A technique of the Chi Dragon bloodline. When activated, it consumes vast demonic energy and dragon qi, transforming into a Chi Dragon, boosting physical strength by one major realm for half an hour. Can only be used once per day.
“This… is a true blessing.”
After fully understanding these two techniques, Mo Fan was overjoyed. Either technique was incredibly powerful for him.
Especially the Chi Dragon Transformation, which could turn him into a Chi Dragon and boost his physical strength by an entire realm.
Though limited by time, this was already heaven-defying.
With this thought, Mo Fan inspected his inner self with divine sense, indeed finding a wisp of golden qi in his demon liquid sea.
“Is this the strand of dragon qi?”
Mo Fan thought, then with a stir of intent, the golden qi flew out of the demon liquid sea, transforming into a dragon-shaped golden light in the air, soaring like a true dragon.
Technique, Dragon Qi Protection.
Mo Fan immediately activated the technique, and his demonic energy surged.
“Roar!”
A deafening dragon roar sounded as the golden dragon qi rushed out of the demon liquid sea, merging into Mo Fan’s limbs and body.
Buzz!
The next moment, a faint golden glow appeared around Mo Fan.
“So this is Dragon Qi Protection.”
Mo Fan’s eyes flickered, finally understanding the golden light that had appeared on the Black Dragon King’s body.
Sweeping his gaze, Mo Fan looked at Bai Jinghu and smiled, “Bai Jinghu, try attacking me.”
“Master, how could I attack you? Even with ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare.” Bai Jinghu gave an awkward smile, waving his hands.
“Enough nonsense, attack when I tell you to.”
Mo Fan snorted, then smiled, “Didn’t you feel any resentment when I sent you to your death earlier? Now I’m giving you a chance to fight back, so you better cherish it. I promise I won’t hold it against you.”
Hearing this, Bai Jinghu’s expression wavered, his heart torn, unaware that his thoughts were fully under Mo Fan’s control.
“Master, you told me to attack.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Jinghu took a deep breath, looked up at Mo Fan with determination, and charged as a cloud of ghostly mist toward Mo Fan’s brow.
Just as Bai Jinghu was about to enter Mo Fan’s body, the golden light on Mo Fan’s surface flared brightly.
“Ah!”
Bai Jinghu screamed as the golden light melted most of his ghostly mist.
“Master, you tricked me!”
