Inner Demon

Boom!

Destructive energy spread out from the void. Ripples appeared in the void. Wherever the ripples passed, the entire metal room was reduced to dust. A huge crater was formed on the spot. It was deep and terrifying!

In the void, a huge blood-colored lotus flower that was a few hundred feet tall slowly bloomed. Wherever the blood-colored lotus flower passed, there was no difference. Everything was crushed into dust by the powerful force of the blood-colored lotus flower.

When Feng Long and the rest realized that something was amiss, they had already retreated to a safe place. They looked up at the huge blood-colored lotus flower in the void. The shock on their faces had reached its peak. Their facial muscles had stiffened because they had been gaping for a long time.

"Is this … an armor technique?

How can it be so powerful?

I'm afraid that even the Netherworld King, who's half a step into the ultimate second-wheel emperor realm, wouldn't be able to withstand such a powerful energy! "Feng Long involuntarily swallowed his saliva as he muttered to himself with a dry mouth.

"Looks like we have underestimated Zhuowen. I never thought that he would have such a technique. No wonder he dared to challenge the Lord of the Underworld alone!" Zhou Li, who was beside Feng Long, opened her cherry lips slightly and muttered softly.

The huge blood-colored lotus flower bloomed in the void like a night-blooming epiphyllum. Soon after, it gradually withered. The blood-colored petals withered in the void, emitting a poignant yet beautiful color!

The moment the blood-colored lotus flower disappeared, a figure covered in blood-red flames slowly walked over from the void. He came to the top of the huge crater below the blood-colored lotus flower. His sharp eyes quietly stared at the motionless Lord of the Underworld in the deep crater.

At this moment, the Lord of the Underworld was in an extremely miserable state. Under the power of the blood-colored lotus flower, the scales on his body were all flipped over, revealing terrible wounds. The Lord of the Underworld's originally bright eyes were now extremely dim!

"Cough cough!

I never thought that you would still have such a trump card. I really can't accept my defeat!

If this King's true body had descended, how could I have lost?

How could I have lost?

You little bastard, you despicable fellow! "

The Nether King coughed violently, and his lantern-sized eyes stared fixedly at Zhuowen who was above the crater. There was dense unwillingness and resentment in the depths of his eyes. Even until now, he still couldn't believe that he would actually lose, and he would lose in such an aggrieved manner!

"So what if I can't accept it?

A loss is a loss. Do you think you can win it back just by saying a few words of unwillingness? "

Zhuowen was expressionless. He patted his Qiankun Bag with his right hand and took out the Demon Moon Dragonspine Spear. With a gentle shake of his right hand, the spear slithered into the gaps between the scales of the Lord of the Netherworld like an agile snake and went straight into his meridians!

Weng!

The Moon Demon Dragon Spine Spear was like a hungry beast. With a long roar, it started to absorb the Blood Essence of the Lord of the Underworld.

"Bastard!

What are you doing?

He's actually absorbing my blood essence!

Stop it! Stop it! Do you understand?! "

Feeling the loss of his blood essence, the Lord of the Underworld's eyes were filled with rage. He stared fiercely at Zhuowen, who was floating in mid-air. If looks could kill, Zhuowen would have been killed a thousand times over by now!

Zhuowen didn't pay any attention to the roaring Lord of the Underworld. Instead, he sat cross-legged in mid-air, closed his eyes, and started to silently recover his vitality.

The power of the blood-colored lotus was beyond his imagination. It was actually able to injure the Lord of the Underworld. However, the amount of Blood Essence required was also extremely terrifying. Even Zhuowen felt exhausted at this moment.

Zhuowen had long planned to let the Moon Demon Dragon Spine Spear absorb the Blood Essence of the Lord of the Underworld. After all, the True Dragon Bloodline of an ordinary evil being from the Netherworld Tribe could raise the Moon Demon Dragon Spine Spear by a small level. As the ruler of the Netherworld Tribe, the True Dragon Bloodline in the Lord of the Netherworld Tribe would probably be even purer.

After the Moon Demon Dragon Spine Spear absorbed all the Blood Essence of the Lord of the Underworld, it might even become an Earth-Rank Spiritual Treasure. At that time, the Moon Demon Dragon Spine Spear would undergo a true transformation!

Seeing that Zhuowen was so stubborn, the Lord of the Underworld almost went into a state of rage. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe. He was on the verge of death, and he couldn't even move!

"Even if I die, I won't allow you to humiliate me like this!

Hehe!

You want this king's blood essence? Little brat, keep dreaming! Even if this king dies, I won't let you have your way! "

The Lord of the Underworld gritted his teeth and glared at Zhuowen. Soon after, he quickly chanted an obscure incantation. Then, the aura on the Lord of the Underworld's body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the Lord of the Underworld's huge body started to expand!

As if he sensed the Lord of the Underworld's abnormality, Zhuowen frowned and opened his eyes. When he saw the Lord of the Underworld's expanding body, his expression changed drastically. He stomped his foot and tried to stop the Lord of the Underworld from self-destructing!

"Kid!

It's too late. Even if I die, I won't allow you to blaspheme my bloodline. Hehe, don't even think about obtaining my Blood Essence of the True Dragon! "

The Nether King stared at Zhuo Wen whose expression had changed drastically in the sky, and he immediately roared with laughter of ridicule. After that, his entire body swelled to the limit before exploding. Countless pieces of flesh and blood sprayed towards the surroundings from the force of the explosion. For a time, a dense rain of blood descended from the sky!

Zhuo Wen, who was in midair, was directly sent flying backward by the impact of this powerful explosion. His feet stepped on the void, and he stabilized his body in midair dozens of meters away!

"Did he self-destruct?"

Hovering in mid-air, Zhuowen looked at the thick rain of blood around him. His eyes were filled with a complicated expression. The Lord of the Underworld's character was really unyielding. He would rather self-destruct than let Zhuowen absorb his Blood Essence of the True Dragon.

"The Lord of the Underworld is the ruler of the Underworld Tribe after all. He has his own dignity and glory. Although you've defeated the Lord of the Underworld, using the Demon Moon Dragon Spine Spear to absorb his Blood Essence is a humiliation to him!

If it were you, I'm afraid you'd be even more extreme than the Lord of the Underworld! "

Xiao Hei's voice rang out at this moment. However, there was a hint of regret in her voice.

"Was my action just now … wrong?"

Looking up at the endless rain of blood in the sky, Zhuowen's mind suddenly flashed with countless faces of hatred, grief, anger, pleading, fear, and so on. The owners of these faces were all the enemies Zhuowen had killed over the years. Perhaps there were good and evil among these people. They had lovers and family members, helplessness and concern …

However, they all had one thing in common. They had all blocked Zhuowen's path and even tried to kill him. Of course, in the end, they were all killed by Zhuowen instead!

Zhuowen realized that he had unknowingly viewed human lives as worthless. He had become numb to human lives. At this moment, Zhuowen's eyes became confused. He stood quietly in mid-air as he bathed in the rain of blood.

"Inner demon?

This kid … Could it be that he has fallen into his inner demon at this time? "Xiao Hei seemed to realize that something was wrong with Zhuowen. She could not help but frown." Damn it!

Kid, hurry up and wake up. Don't lose yourself in your inner demon. Otherwise, you'll really be consigned to eternal damnation! "

However, Xiao Hei's screams were of no use to Zhuowen. At this moment, Zhuowen's eyes were filled with a mountain of corpses and a rain of blood. The sky was filled with blood, and the faces of the countless people he had killed flashed in his eyes!

"I … Was I wrong?"

Suddenly, Zhuowen roared at the sky. A wave of emotions that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time suddenly exploded at this moment. An expression that seemed like both crying and laughing appeared on Zhuowen's face.

Under the endless rain of blood, Zhuowen's frail figure seemed so lonely and weak at this moment. It was as if the patter of blood could completely drown his figure!

"You're wrong!

You're completely wrong. From the moment you killed the first person, you were completely wrong!

Your path is wrong, your life is wrong, and even your birth is wrong! "

"Why are you still alive?

You've obviously lived such a tiring life, so why are you forcing yourself to stay alive?

Is there any meaning in scheming against others all day long? Is there any meaning in running around tirelessly and making enemies at every step?

Don't you think that living in such a world is not tiring? "

"If you die … It'll be easy!

Only when you die can you be carefree and carefree. You don't have to think about anything, worry about anything, and worry about anything. Isn't this the reason why you've always wanted to become stronger?

But as long as you're alive, you'll never be able to live a carefree and carefree life. Die!

It'll be easy if you die. "

Hideous faces appeared in the sky amidst the endless rain of blood. They were all persuading, cursing, and tempting Zhuowen. They were all people that Zhuowen had killed before.

Boom!

A strange aura surged out from Zhuowen's body. Soon after, a blood-red barrier appeared with Zhuowen as the center. In this area, the rain of blood seemed to have become more viscous, and the ground was dyed a strong blood-red.

Creak!

Creak!

The crisp sound of bones colliding reverberated clearly in this area. Blood-red skeletons slowly emerged from the blood-red ground in this area. There were humans and beasts among these skeletons. A blood-red flame burned in their hollow eyes.

"Damn it!

After Zhuowen fell into his inner demon, he actually began to undergo the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. This guy is simply courting death!

Could this inner demon be related to the Lord of the Underworld? "

A black light emerged from between Zhuowen's eyebrows, revealing the appearance of a dog, Xiao Hei. It was Xiao Hei!

At this moment, Xiao Hei's gaze was extremely solemn. The number of blood-red skeletons around them was increasing, but Zhuowen's eyes were still in a daze. It was obvious that he was still trapped by his inner demon. He knew that if it did not appear, Zhuowen would be courting death in the face of the Tribulation of Heaven and Earth in his current state!

"Zhuowen!

Kid, when did you become so weak?

You're actually affected by a mere inner demon. Hurry up and wake up! "
