Chapter 514: Ancient Demon
Lin Hao didn't pay any attention to the Devil's threat. In front of him, an open space appeared. Lin Hao didn't waste any time and dive into the open space. The moment he stepped inside the open space, a Crystal Palace appeared in his line of sight. Seeing the Crystal Palace in front of him, he found a gap and immediately drilled into it.
When Lin Hao instantly flashed to a corner of the Crystal Palace, a huge Black Tortoise walked up and completely blocked the gap.
This Black Tortoise was Lin Hao's backup plan. When he arrived at this place for the first time, this Black Tortoise acted like the guard of this Crystal Place and almost killed him. If not for his movement technique that could allow him to move freely inside the ground, he would have been dead by now and the reason for his death would have been this Black Tortoise.
The Black Tortoise that was blocking the gap was actually at the Dao Manifestation Realm. This kind of powerful demonic beast was not something Lin Hao could deal with his current strength.
With his current cultivation level, he could at most contend against the Late Stage Immortal Emperor Realm, he simply could not survive the attacks of a Dao Manifestation Realm demonic beast, let alone the Devil that was constantly recovering his strength.
The only method he had was to kill using other's knife. He wanted to let the guards of the Crystal Palace eliminate the Devil.
As for Lin Hao, he only needed to sit back and watch the battle.
Lin Hao calculated something in his heart and muttered, "That devil has only been possessing a Demonic Beast's body. Although he is extremely powerful and I'm not his match, that Black Tortoise and other guards of this place should be able to delay him for quite a while."
The Devil had existed for who knows how many years. With his countless experiences, it was impossible to fool the Devil with such a small scheme.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you while hiding behind this small turtle shell?"
The Devil's voice came from outside and then the entire Crystal Palace began to rumble.
"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"
It was as if there was a raging bull outside knocking against the door of the Crystal Palace.
"Roar!"
Soon after, Black Tortoise's voice rang out.
This Black Tortoise, which had lived for an unknown amount of time, suddenly became angry and the entire space was filled with a loud roar.
Then eight statues in front of the Crystal Palace had opened their eyes as if they were awakened. These eight statues were the eight guards that were protecting the Crystal Palace with the Black Tortoise.
The eight guards stepped out and rushed towards the Devil.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!"
In an instant, a chaotic battle broke out outside. The battle between these peerless experts had shaken the entire Crystal Palace. Waves of energy spread out in all directions.
Seeing how the Devil and these guards were battling each other, Lin Hao found an opportunity and entered the Crystal Palace.
After finding a safe location, he immediately took out the fruit that could help him break through to the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm and swallowed it.
Instantly, warm energy spread through his meridians, and a surge of pure energy started filling his dantian.
Lin Hao closed his eyes and started circulating his cultivation technique and started refining the energy of the spirit fruit he had just eaten.
Very soon, five hours passed by.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura burst out from Lin Hao's body as something's breaking sound rang inside him.
"Early Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm!"
Lin Hao opened his eyes as he looked at his body. He had now stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm and his fighting strength once again increased.
"Boom!"
At this moment, with a loud rumble, something seemed to have collapsed. Suddenly, the sound of stone shattering could be heard.
"Kid, do you think that you can be at peace just by hiding here?"
That voice came from the other side of the Crystal Palace.
Lin Hao jolted out to his sense as he shouted in was a shock, "Not good, he actually broke in!"
Lin Hao immediately scanned the area with his Divine Sense. The door to the Crystal Palace was actually broken open by the Devil.
At this moment, the Devil had already turned into an eight-armed Monster. His height was surprisingly 4 meters long. There were also vicious scars on his body. However, in the time it took for a few breaths, all of these wounds were completely healed.
In one of the devil's hands, there was a Demonic Beast head, which he casually threw to the ground. This head was actually the head of Black Tortoise.
The eight guards and the Black Tortoise were actually not a match for the Devil.
"Human brat, you won't be able to escape now." The Devil sneered and looked in Lin Hao's direction.
Very few people could detect Divine Sense. However, for the devil, this was not a difficult matter.
At this moment, Lin Hao was crazily thinking of a countermeasure in his mind. Right now, if he tried to escape, it was likely that the Devil would catch up to him in an instant.
The only way out was through this Crystal Palace.
Lin Hao gritted his teeth and flew directly into the depths of the Crystal Palace.
After Lin Hao left, within a few breaths' time, the Devil landed on the spot where Lin Hao was standing before.
"You run pretty quickly. However, you won't be able to escape." The Devil's eyes darkened as he said as he chased after Lin Hao.
On the other side, Lin Hao had already reached the depths of the Crystal Palace. He never thought that there would be a row of coffins in the innermost area of the Crystal Palace.
These coffins were placed on top of the white jade platform. Only these coffins were piled up there. There were at least several hundred of them densely packed together.
"Whose coffin is in this place?" Lin Hao was shocked when he saw all these coffins. Before even getting close to the coffins, Lin Hao already felt a tyrannical pressure emanating from the white jade platform.
Lin Hao even had a feeling that the beings inside the coffins were even stronger than the Devil.
In this split-second, the Devil had already caught up.
"Brat, where are you planning to run now?" The Devil grinned evilly as he looked at Lin Hao. Then he struck out his palm towards Lin Hao to grab him.
Lin Hao immediately retreated backwards and the Devil's palm smashed down countless coffins.
"Wuu~~"
When all the coffins on top of the white jade platform were flipped over, a ghostly wail suddenly rang out in the main hall.
The surrounding air instantly became much colder. These coffins were empty, but there was a black stream of air floating out from them and lingering in the air above the hall.
"What the hell is this? Scram for me!"
A beam of light appeared behind the Devil's head which was blood-red in colour. It swept away all the surrounding black gas of the surroundings.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Under the Devil's might, the surrounding coffins began to rumble and shatter.
"You won't be able to escape. If I'm not wrong, those guards outside were your plan's main chess piece to get rid of me. Now that I've already killed them, what will you do?"
The Devil laughed savagely and again said, "Now, prepare yourself to die. You ruined my hard work of hundreds of thousands of years and now, I'm gonna destroy you."
"Wait till you catch me first." This was Lin Hao's reply.
Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Hao's mind as he started thinking of countermeasures to counter the Devil's attack and leave this place alive.
But at this time, the black gas started gathering together as an extremely terrifying fiendish aura swept in every direction.
The aura was so terrifying that even the Devil started trembling on the spot.
The devil could not understand what was happening and why he was trembling in fear.
This was the Upper Realm and there should be nothing in the upper realm that could make him tremble in fear. Then what exactly was this black gas that was frightening him. And from what he was feeling right now, the fear was coming from the depth of his soul. It was as if in front of the black gas, he, the devil who had once already ascended to the Divine Realm, was nothing but just a subject that has to bow.
It was as if in front of this black gas, his existence was nothing but a joke. It was as if the black gas in front of him was his, the devil's King... No, it was more like ancestors!
On the other hand, the God Slaying Sword in Lin Hao's Divine Sea trembled as two words appeared in Lin Hao's mind.
"Ancient Demon!"
