In the wilderness, the Demon King's figure swayed, and six identical Wen Yangs suddenly appeared, surrounding Ding Meng in a circle.
Usually, Ding Meng wouldn't care about such a move. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but be astonished. Regardless of whether it was their figures, appearances, auras, or energy index, these six Wen Yangs were all exactly the same. Moreover, they weren't fake and were the real deal. Even when he scanned them with his psychic vision, he could tell that they were indeed six genuine Interstellar Martial Lords.
Ding Meng's face darkened. This Demon King who had been hiding behind the scenes was indeed a difficult person to deal with.
"Come!" Ding Meng roared. He did not wait for the other party to make a move and attacked first.
He stacked his palms together and a strong light shone from his palms. He swept his palms in all directions. This was Ling Xingqi's signature technique, the Omnidirectional Slash. It could only be used with a weapon. However, Ding Meng used the Divine Light Essence as a saber and swept it out.
"Swoosh —"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh —"
The six Wen Yangs immediately turned into phantoms and were instantly killed.
However, the Demon King's real body did not appear. Ding Meng frowned and stared at the empty space in front of him. He seemed to be deep in thought.
Qu Xiaoqing, who had already boarded the ship, could not help but ask, "Did Ding Meng destroy that monster?"
Ji Chenxue also frowned. "No. The Demon King cannot be seen, but his aura is still there. Furthermore, it is everywhere."
As long as the aura did not disappear, it meant that the other party was not destroyed. More accurately, it was unharmed.
"But why can't we see him?" Xing Yi asked.
Ji Chenxue did not answer because he could not explain it either.
At this moment, Ding Meng had already activated his psychic vision, spirit vision, and sovereign's descent. This was the first time he had used all three visions at the same time. He quickly saw that there was a shapeless airflow gathering in the sky. This was clearly the Demon King's real spiritual body. It was almost a soundless and formless existence.
This airflow suddenly turned into threads and flew into the distance like smoke. Its target was the entrance to the Demons' Underground Palace.
Oh no!
Ding Meng cursed inwardly. Previously, he had been fighting too fiercely with Zhi Ru and had completely neglected the changes in the underground palace.
At this moment, inside the underground palace, all the walls and passageways had completely turned into flesh, mist, and liquid. Everywhere was filled with vitality and aura. An extremely complex aura actually contained the aura of the God Race, Demons, Night Luan, and the Demon Race. There was even a trace of the aura of the Ai Ji Planet.
The current underground palace was exactly the same as the interior of the Void Spirit Ray. Could it be that the Underground Palace of the Demons was an enhanced version of the Void Spirit Ray?
The Demon King's spirit body was rushing towards the tunnel at an extremely fast speed. Ding Meng didn't fall behind. Every leap was a thousand meters away, and she followed closely behind as fast as lightning.
Suddenly, Ding Meng stopped in his tracks. The Demon King's spirit body also froze in the air.
On the Divine Arrow Flying Ship, Ji Chenxue revealed a look of disbelief, so much so that her beautiful face was distorted.
Qu Xiaoqing and the others were weak and naturally could not sense it. Thus, they could not help but ask, "Ji Zong, what's wrong?"
Ji Chenxue looked at the radar screen. "Suddenly, a very powerful aura appeared."
Xin Jie saw her rare seriousness and could not help but ask, "How powerful is it?
Is it stronger than that brat Ding Meng? "
Ji Chenxue's expression was a little dazed. "I can't describe it because I can't estimate it. I never thought that there would be such a powerful force in this world."
Hearing her evaluation, Xin Jie and Qu Xiaoqing also revealed looks of shock.
In the open space at the entrance of the tunnel, almost invisible black dots suddenly appeared in the air. They were so densely packed that it was difficult to count them. Ordinary people would have a hard time discovering them. Only experts like Ding Meng could see them clearly.
Not long after, these black dots arranged themselves and formed a black shadow. It looked like a human, but the problem was that it was not a cloud of black mist, but a pure black sheet. It had the outline of a human, but it did not have a face. To be precise, it was a piece of black paper floating there, blocking the path of Ding Meng's Demon King.
Seeing this strange scene, everyone's hair stood on end. This was something that no one had ever seen before. Whether it was the Protoss, the Demons, the Ai Ji Ye Luan, or the Federal Empire, none of them could explain this terrifying scene.
What was even more frightening was that the black paper actually let out a dull voice. "General Henning?"
"It's me!"
The Demon King actually took the initiative to answer. At the same time, he changed from his gaseous state to Henning's atomized state and landed on the ground. He walked step by step towards the black paper, as if he was not afraid of it at all.
Ding Meng didn't move. He was indeed intimidated by this black piece of paper, because the other party's aura was actually in an indistinct state. He was sure that this wasn't an illusion. Of course, on the other hand, he didn't understand what was going on.
The black paper's voice actually produced a trace of gentleness. "I have completed the task you asked of me. We are even now!"
"Okay!" The Demon King was still walking forward. "But I still have something to discuss with you."
The black paper said, "What is it?"
At this time, the Demon King was less than five meters away from the black paper. He almost instantly turned back into a stream of air and disappeared into the black paper's body.
"Whoosh —"
A shocking wave immediately spread in all directions. This wave of energy was so terrifying that even Ding Meng crossed his arms to protect his face. However, he was forced to slide backward. As for the Divine Arrow Spaceship and the Peach Blossom Spaceship, which were thousands of meters away, they were thrown into the air.
"Whoosh —"
The black paper's body seemed to contain an endless amount of energy. It spread wildly in all directions. The earth began to tremble, and the mountains in the distance began to collapse again. Even the thunderstorm in the sky was shocked by this force. A hole appeared in the sky, and the stars in space could be seen with the naked eye. This kind of power was simply earth-shattering, and the wind and clouds changed color.
The energy storm lasted for a minute before it stopped. When the flying rocks scattered, the metal surface near the tunnel had been scraped four to five meters deep. The energy wave was simply too strong.
However, at this time, the strange black paper disappeared. The person standing at the entrance of the tunnel was actually the Demon King, who looked like Wen Yang. The Demon King spread out his hands, as if he was looking at his limbs. Then, he suddenly raised his head and burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha, after waiting for so many years, I have finally merged. Hahaha, this day has finally come. From now on, I am the master of this world …"
Looking at his crazy roar of laughter, a shadow fell over everyone's heart.
Xin Jie fiddled with the control panel a few times. Then, he revealed a face as pale as a corpse.
He was rarely intimidated. However, looking at his expression, Ji Chenxue could not help but ask, "What's the situation?"
Xin Jie took a deep breath and then said word by word, "The system's evaluation shows that his energy index has broken through 1,000 trillion points, and it's still rising …"
No one spoke, and no one breathed. This value was beyond Ji Chenxue and the others' understanding. This value not only meant that the Demon King was a galactic general, but it also meant that none of them had the right to resist.
After laughing for a long time, the Demon King glared. "Ding Meng, you must not have guessed it, right?"
Ding Meng was surprisingly calm. He raised his head and looked at the Demon King. "You're wrong. I already guessed it!"
The Demon King was stunned. "You still guessed it this time. I can consider giving you a quick death."
Ding Meng said calmly, "This is not a rendezvous point for Demons, nor is it an underground palace. It's the remains of a Skeletal Demon Dragon. It should be the most powerful beast in the universe."
The Demon King smiled. "That's right!"
Ding Meng said, "This kind of ancient beast will not truly die. When Henning and the others stayed here, they left behind enough demonic energy. Once the singularity is activated, the energy released will be enough to restore its immortal aperture. You pretended to be Henning and entered its immortal aperture when it was unprepared. You successfully fused with it."
The Demon King was surprised again. "Tsk tsk, you're too smart."
Ding Meng said, "You've been planning for so long. You've been waiting for this moment, right?"
The Demon King smiled. "Once I have the Skeletal Demon Dragon's immortal aperture, I will have no opponents. I will be truly invincible."
Ding Meng nodded. "That's true on the surface. Right now, no one here has the right to be your opponent. They're not even worthy of being cannon fodder."
The Demon King smiled even more happily. "I take back what I just said. If you're willing to submit to me and serve me loyally, I can consider sparing your life and the lives of your companions."
Ding Meng did not care about this topic. He had a strange expression on his face. "But have you ever thought about how many centuries this ancient beast has lived?
Do you think you can just fuse with it? "
"Hahaha!" The Demon King raised his head and laughed. "Are you afraid?
Are you using this kind of fantasy to beg me for mercy?
I know that you low-level life forms have a lot of pride. You're afraid of embarrassing yourselves … "
His voice was suddenly cut off. This was because the voice of a piece of black paper came from Wen Yang's stomach. "You're not General Henning!"
The Demon King jumped up as if he had been shot by an arrow. "What?
What's going on? "
The voice of the piece of black paper became serious. "Get out!"
With a "boom", the air suddenly exploded. Although this wave was not as strong as before, it still sent sand and stones flying.
After a while, the strange piece of black paper was still floating at the entrance of the tunnel. However, the Demon King's image of Wen Yang had been pushed out at some point. He stood five or six meters away and looked at the other party in fear. He retreated step by step.
The piece of black paper suddenly sneered. "How can a lowly person like you fuse with my immortal aperture?
You're dreaming! "
With a "plop" sound!
The Demon King actually took the initiative to kneel on both knees. Everyone could see his fear. Not only was his entire body trembling, but even his lips were trembling. "I … I … Lord … I was wrong. Please spare my life."
The piece of black paper said arrogantly, "A mere variant of the Star Field Border Sect dares to call yourself the king of the True Demon Clan?
Do you know your crime? "
The Demon King immediately kowtowed, banging his head on the ground. His voice sounded like he was crying. "I know my mistake, I know my mistake. I was ignorant and offended you, Sir. Please be magnanimous and spare my lowly life …"
