Two days later.
Forbidden Area No. 5.
Blood filled the entire forbidden area. The sky was obscured by dark clouds, and a surging ocean of blood kept flowing across the forbidden area.
Countless demons were prostrated deep in Forbidden Area No. 5. These demons came in all shapes and forms.
Some were as huge as colossal beasts, while others were as ethereal as ghosts. Each one exuded a terrifying and malicious aura.
However, at this moment, they all trembled and raised their heads, excitedly looking at the figure standing in the sky.
It was a majestic figure wrapped in a stream of blood-colored air.
He seemed to be clad in blood-red armor, and an endless killing intent emanated from his body.
The surrounding space began to tremble due to the overwhelming power.
Gu Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
As he breathed, the surrounding demons seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and moved towards him one by one.
Inside his body, Zhazha tirelessly devoured all the valuable demons in the forbidden area.
He whispered softly, as if reciting an ancient incantation: "Converge, devour, fuse."
With each word, the demons began to transform. Their bodies twisted and disintegrated, and finally turned into streams of black-red smoke that continuously flowed towards Gu Yan.
This process was terrifying, but the demons were extremely excited.
Their roars and screams echoed in the air. As the power converged, a huge black vortex formed around Gu Yan's body. The powerful suction force was irresistible to more demons, and they all rushed into it one after another.
Gu Yan's body seemed to be the center of a black hole, and endless power converged, collided, and fused within him.
His face became more and more distinct in the darkness. Under the blood-red armor, instead of the eyes of a normal species, there were... a pair of divine eyes emitting a black-red glow.
At the high tower in the forbidden area.
Two figures were watching all this.
A silver giant wolf and a humanoid demon wearing strange-patterned clothes.
Wang Yulan looked up at the Nether King standing in the sky, constantly devouring demons. Her expression was solemn, and her hands were tightly clenched.
It was so terrifying. Even from such a distance, she could still feel the chilling pressure coming from the other side.
Is this... the king of demons?
Seeing this, the silver giant wolf beside her showed excitement in its eyes.
Yinyue knelt and lay at the high tower, whispering softly: "Lan, this is one of the abilities of our king.
"He can gain more powerful strength by devouring other species.
"In the past, all our clan members turned into the king's power and fought together."
Hearing this.
Wang Yulan looked at Yinyue: "You volunteered to be devoured?"
Yinyue proudly raised its head upon hearing this: "It is our honor to become the power of the king.
"Of course, in the end, the king will liberate our souls and place them in newly created bodies."
After hearing this, Wang Yulan silently nodded.
Since she merged with the spirit of the Flower God and became a demon in a new form.
She also learned about the Nether King in the forbidden area.
For example... the ability of the other side to easily control the lives and deaths of others.
Storing souls in his body and then liberating them when the right time comes.
The physical body is just a shell that can be replaced at any time. As long as the soul is immortal, one can live forever.
If so...
There was a glimmer of excitement in Wang Yulan's heart.
Could her mother... be resurrected by this means?
It's just that there was one thing Wang Yulan wasn't clear about, and that was whether her mother's soul... was still in this world?
...
...
On Gu Yan's side, the grand spectacle gradually subsided.
The two-day-long devouring was over.
[Congratulations! Zhazha has devoured 19,999 demons...]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained the ability 'Demon Domination'!]
[Demon Domination: Can influence all demons weaker than oneself in the world and make them submit.]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained a new ability: Flame Breath!]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained a new ability: Super-speed Regeneration!]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained a new ability: Shadow Sneak!]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained resistance: Poison Resistance!]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained a new ability: Counterattack!]
[Congratulations! Zhazha has obtained...................]
[Zhazha covers the host, and the host can also obtain equal strength and use its abilities!!]
The system's prompt sound rang in Gu Yan's mind.
He closed his eyes and felt the newly acquired abilities.
In his consciousness, there seemed to be a huge net connecting all the devoured demons.
He could feel their excitement, anger, fear, and even their memories and abilities.
After this devouring.
Gu Yan's strength had improved by more than one level compared to before.
With a thought.
Hum!
His figure turned into a shadow and disappeared into the air in an instant.
The power of the night should be used as little as possible.
Then... the second alternative method Gu Yan thought of.
Was to obtain the power of demons by devouring them.
This way of moving was almost the same as the way of moving with the power of the night.
It only consumed a little true qi.
Swish!
His figure flashed and he arrived at the tower.
"Your Majesty the King!"
Yinyue lowered its head, with a very respectful and excited tone.
It could feel that the Nether King had become more powerful than before.
Wang Yulan placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly.
Since she had become a demon and needed the power of the Nether King.
Then... she was willing to do such things.
Gu Yan was now wearing the Nether Armor, and the malicious aura unique to demons emanated from his body.
He glanced at Wang Yulan.
He said in a deep voice: "You've changed your name to Lan? Does this mean you're ready to completely abandon your human identity?"
Wang Yulan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded calmly: "Yes."
After becoming a demon, Wang Yulan changed her name to 'Lan'.
"Okay."
Gu Yan didn't dwell on this point anymore and continued: "The world has changed greatly.
"The Divine Dragon and the Black Tortoise have fallen.
"Two of the Four Divine Beasts are dead.
"The one who did it... is the Night King."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
