Free Web NovelChapter 1667: Chapter 1666: Red Eyes, Demon King!
From a distance, Yin Chuan and the others watched Qin Feng lying on the ground, their hearts filled with worry and despair.
So despairing!
Qin Feng’s recent transformation could be said to have unimaginable power.
Yet he was still suppressed by the Twelve Popes.
The enemy is so powerful.
Making this war seem utterly pointless.
Like an ant facing a ten-thousand-meter-tall mountain, making people despair.
At this moment.
The Twelve Popes also began to breathe heavily.
"He’s really a troublesome guy."
"Indeed! He actually transformed, forcing us to use ’Bright Star,’ otherwise we couldn’t suppress him at all."
"It made me expend most of my strength."
"What do we do now?"
"Of course, we continue to absorb souls; tens of thousands of souls aren’t enough, too little as a gift for the Demon Emperor. Now we shall cast the ’Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Array’ to absorb all the souls within a hundred miles into our bottle."
"Alas, there’s no other way but to use the ’Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Array’..."
"..."
The Twelve Popes sighed one after another.
At this moment.
Qin Feng struggled to stand up.
Though he still appeared burned and as weak as before, his lips curved into a smile as he looked up at the Twelve Popes and said, "Are you... idiots?"
"What?!"
The Twelve Popes were very displeased to see that Qin Feng was still alive and even insulted them.
"Little brat, we’ll soon take your Dragon Emperor Bloodline, so don’t be in a rush to die!"
"Yes, every drop of your blood is useful to us."
"..."
Qin Feng’s expression of contempt grew stronger as he said, "Could you please look up?"
Look up?
The Twelve Popes exchanged confused glances, then looked up at the sky.
At this moment.
They suddenly spotted a massive black demonic aura in the sky!
At the center of the aura, there was a terrifying eye, like a Blood Moon!
"What is that...?"
The Twelve Popes felt shocked.
The Blood Moon eye was so terrifying that it invoked primal fear in them!
"Hehe..."
Qin Feng smiled with difficulty, looked up at the bloody eye, and said, "From now on, you can’t call him ’Red-eyed Ghost King’ anymore; you should call him... Red-eyed Demon King!!"
"Yes, master!"
The gigantic demonic aura in the sky started to gradually condense into the shape of the Red-eyed Ghost King.
However, different from before, the aura emanating from him was even more powerful!
No longer ghost energy.
But demonic energy!
And due to the demonic energy, it made his armor emit a dark glow, and his blood-red left eye appeared even more terrifying!
"What’s going on...?"
The Twelve Popes widened their eyes in confusion.
The Yellow-robed Pope suddenly froze and said, "It’s over! The souls we absorbed... are gone!!"
"What?!!"
The Popes looked toward the center of the large vortex in the sky.
They only then realized that the vortex where the souls were absorbed had completely disappeared!
Looking down at the ground.
The tens of thousands of World Alliance members who died because their souls were absorbed still lay on the ground, lifeless.
"The souls haven’t returned to their bodies!"
"So, what on earth happened?"
"..."
As the Twelve Popes were puzzled, Qin Feng pointed to the Red-eyed Demon King standing in the sky and said, "You don’t need to look for them; they’re with him..."
"What?!!"
The Popes’ hearts filled with astonishment.
Looking up.
They finally noticed that on the surface of the Red-eyed Demon King’s body, besides the strands of black demonic aura, there were wisps of soul energy being absorbed into him bit by bit.
"What’s going on? What’s going on?!!"
The Twelve Popes were filled with rage, looking at Qin Feng.
"Throughout history, evil never prevails over righteousness; you cannot win." Qin Feng chuckled, showing his white teeth, and then said to the Red-eyed Demon King in the sky, "Destroy them!"
As the words fell.
The Red-eyed Demon King drew out the shining Grim Reaper Scythe, landing on the Iron Fortress and directly charging into the Twelve Popes!
Qin Feng then sat down, resting thoroughly.
Earlier, when he used the ’Mountain River Broken’ mode of ’Ruffians’ under the Golden Regeneration aura, his body couldn’t bear it and couldn’t recover.
With the arrival of the Twelve Popes, he had no choice but to use the Demon Pearl’s power.
The Demon Pearl.
He found it at the bottom of the Nine Nether Demon Pool when helping the Empress to kill the serpent and retrieve the Snake Gallbladder at Big Snake Castle.
Initially thinking the item had too much demonic energy and was ominous, he wanted to destroy it outright.
But every energy has two sides; as long as it can be controlled, it can be greatly useful.
Qin Feng originally couldn’t control it.
But to stop the Twelve Popes, he had to take the risk.
The recent attack from the Twelve Popes’ ’Bright Star’ seemed to scatter his demonic energy, but in reality, he played to their strategy, allowing the Red-eyed Ghost King to absorb the demonic energy.
Even the Red-eyed Ghost King couldn’t withstand the demonic energy.
But Qin Feng saw in the sky the souls within the giant vortex!
The souls that had been drawn out were already refined by the Twelve Popes into soul power, just waiting to be packed into their big potion bottles.
Thus, Qin Feng seized the chance to let the Red-eyed Ghost King secretly absorb souls.
With the soul power.
It further strengthened his power!
However.
He was originally formed from ghost energy, with his life force in the left eye Ghost Spirit Pupil, unable to absorb soul power at all.
And absorbing soul power requires a physical body.
His body formed from ghost energy clearly wouldn’t work.
Therefore, Qin Feng directly let the Gu Worm drill into his body, using it as a vessel, and then using the Gu Worm along with his left eye to absorb the soul power.
Thus, soul power could be claimed as his own!
Of course.
The greatest merit belonged to the Gu Worm.
Such powerful soul power, even a strong Immortal Realm cultivator would find it hard to absorb all at once.
But the Gu Worm that Qin Feng had been cultivating could!
That Gu Worm had been cultivating on the ten-thousand-year-old cliff cypress in his Wanfu Building office, absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and Purple Star Immortal Energy, and was later transferred to Emperor Villa during the Lake City preparations for battle.
After Qin Feng used the Dragon Crystal Stone to stimulate Emperor Villa’s Ziwei Heavenly Fortune Qi, he returned to the battlefield, bringing along the Gu Worm he had been cultivating.
It had been absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi for years, its body already incredibly strong.
Therefore.
The Red-eyed Ghost King could cease to be a "Ghost King" because he previously had no body, refined from ghost energy, and now called the "Demon King" because he has a physical form through the Gu Worm!
The body is there.
The power is there, such as ghost energy, such as demonic energy.
The life force is there, like the left eye Ghost Spirit Pupil.
All that was left was soul power.
Exactly when the Twelve Popes absorbed the souls of tens of thousands of World Alliance members, giving him the chance to become a "Demon!"
Everything was prepared.
He is truly a "Demon" now!!
