Chapter 625: Chapter 611: Growing Stronger Through Setbacks
After swallowing the divinity, the Inferior Demon fell into a deep slumber. The last time this happened was when it consumed a Red Dragon to advance to the Golden Tier. This is because the energy of the divinity is too pure, and to absorb it, the Inferior Demon needs to be completely focused.
When the Inferior Demon awakens again, it might bring a surprise to Chen Feng!
"Woo woo..."
Just as a few people slightly relaxed.
A bizarre black mist suddenly gathered from the side, and soon a howling sound emerged from it. Naraku’s body reformed, but compared to before, this form appeared as a mere phantom, tattered all over, as if a gust of wind could blow it away!
At this moment, Naraku’s eyes fixated on Chen Feng, seemingly trying to remember every inch of his skin. The grievance in those eyes wished to devour Chen Feng alive and slowly torture him to death!
Everything was over!
Compared to ordinary low-tier creatures, due to the Dimension Wall, the higher the tier of a strong entity, the slimmer the chance to enter this world. For an apex being like Naraku, countless efforts were spent to enter the Human World. Schemes, slaughter, sacrifices, one after another, allowed the avatar to awaken here.
But now, because of Chen Feng’s intervention, all its plots vanished into smoke, and what’s more detestable, even the divinity was seized, that was the true loss!
Ancient creatures that have existed for countless years might only have a trace of divinity within them, yet just now, there were three strands of divinity wafting from Naraku. If taken to Elwin’s auction house, it would instantly attract attention, as it’s a treasure worth a fortune!
Naraku attempted to suppress the surrounding repulsion with this divinity for the avatar, but now, it was a mere bridal gown for Chen Feng. Not only was the plan destroyed, but even the divinity was lost. It’s not hard to imagine that this hatred has reached a point of no return!
Just now, Naraku’s avatar was completely destroyed by the Bone Dragon. The phantom gathering now is just a wisp of resentment from the opponent!
Just like those ghosts who died unjustly.
They hold endless grudges, their souls unable to rest after death, transforming into fierce ghosts attempting to retaliate against their enemies!
At this time, Naraku’s resentment was like an unending river, and under this hatred, the undead aura around actually rushed towards its body!
"No good, it’s attempting a different path, trying to transform into a Ghost!" Saruman’s face suddenly sank, shouting loudly!
Naraku’s body surged with black mist, then a scythe swung towards the Headless Knight. Finally, with a strong pull, a struggling phantom soul was dragged out of the Headless Knight’s body.
Under the astonished gaze of several people, Naraku forcibly pulled out the Headless Knight’s soul. In an instant, a sharp shout echoed across the sky!
"Soul-Devouring Skill!"
The sharp shout fell, and a bizarre black mist suddenly burst forth from Naraku’s body, enveloping the Headless Knight’s soul completely within, and then, a series of chewing sounds eerily emerged from the black mist slowly!
The surroundings became unusually quiet, everyone dumbly watched this sudden change, because Naraku, with just this fragmented body, easily killed a Golden-tier powerhouse.
The Headless Knight lost its soul, and at this time, even its Skeleton Horse beneath it collapsed to the ground in an instant, only for a gust of wind to blow through, and the terrifying undead that was evenly matched with Flora just a second ago turned into a wisp of dust, blown away into the air.
"Kakaka... I won’t die so easily, I’ve remembered your scent, you’ve offended the great Naraku, just wait, I’ll bring you an endless death experience!"
Naraku’s figure reappeared, but compared to just now, the body was even more tangible, evidently, its Power of the Soul greatly increased, transforming into a true Ghost!
"Melodry!"
Chen Feng roared in anger, and beside him, Elwin sensed her master’s fury, drew her longbow, and an arrow instantly shot towards Naraku!
"Whish!"
The arrow was unbelievably fast, the air around seemed unstable, on the brink of tearing apart!
"Bang!"
A loud explosion, the arrow actually struck the wall behind, in an instant, the sturdy wall crumbled, burying the altar beneath it.
Naraku disappeared.
Chen Feng observed carefully, just as the arrow was about to hit, Naraku swung the scythe to open a crack in mid-air and slipped into it!
The surroundings no longer had its aura, it was clear that Naraku had completely disappeared!
"That guy seems to have devoured the Headless Knight’s soul!" Elwin’s face was extremely grave, she seemed to sense the cold and incomplete killing intent left around.
Naraku decisively left no words behind, but the atmosphere around was enough to indicate that the enmity between them had reached its peak, and it would someday return to seek vengeance on them!
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, everything happened in a flash, even Saruman, who was adept in Necromancy, might not have anticipated that Naraku would successfully escape using this method.
It lost its divinity, its disappearance was originally a certainty, but strong reluctance made it fight back at the last moment, devouring the Headless Knight’s soul, forcibly transforming into a Ghost. The side effects of doing this, even with Naraku’s intelligence, have nothing to do with its original form, and even some spellcasting abilities disappeared, leaving it only with Soul Attacks that a Ghost can possess.
Tail-shedding lizard?
No!
This was survival from a desperate situation, Chen Feng previously might have gone too smoothly, but this time, he stumbled at Naraku’s hands, letting the opponent successfully escape. Although Naraku no longer had physical attacks, with its experience, it could become a formidable soul entity in no time, potentially retaliating when least expected, taking bold action!
"What to do next?" Elwin stood obediently to the side, a hint of concern on her face, after all, Naraku escaped from her hands.
"It’s okay, it couldn’t beat me in its complete form, even losing its divinity, let alone turn into a Ghost? I don’t believe it can overturn the sky!"
Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed, then a cold light swept: "Naraku, being an Evil God, certainly has some means to preserve its life, perhaps it won’t be long before it becomes more powerful, but that’s pressure that also serves as motivation. As long as we become stronger, even if it ambushes, it’s only throwing itself into the net, by then Saruman can consume its soul to possibly comprehend more Necromancy!"
Upon hearing this, Saruman’s body involuntarily trembled slightly, having just acquired divinity, now Chen Feng was plotting Naraku’s soul! If the latter knew, who knows how furious it would be.
At this moment, Chen Feng stood in place, not at all disappointed by Naraku’s escape. Instead, a terrifying aura, several times stronger than before, emanated from him. At this moment, the once sunny sky turned gloomy as gusts of wind howled.
Growing stronger through setbacks.
There was no such thing as escape in Chen Feng’s dictionary, to him, fear was not a solution, only fists were the foundation of everything.
Naraku lost its most important physical form, and even though it successfully escaped, it was inherently flawed, greatly reducing its threat compared to before.
In this situation, the most crucial thing is to become stronger, only by reaching the legendary tier will these specters be completely insignificant!
"Apart from self-improvement, I can also use summoning methods to establish a Fair Contract with powerful individuals. This time I’ve offended the Bone Dragon, perhaps it won’t accept my rituals anymore, so I need to find a new way!"
Of course, Chen Feng also knew this was not something that could be accomplished overnight. To establish a contract with a legendary powerhouse, only extremely high-quality offerings would suffice!
Chen Feng exhaled, suppressed his thoughts, turned to Saruman, and spoke: "With Naraku gone, this is now a truly unowned land, with your abilities, can you completely conquer it?"
