728 Forcing the Demon to Evolve
Lin Qiye blocked another punch. As he was sent flying, his heart ached.
The most powerful skill he could use now was to release his origin energy.
The amplification effect was overwhelming, but the price was also extremely high.
After giving it some thought, he estimated that the merit points he would obtain from killing the ox-headed demon would be quite a significant sum. If he used them to exchange for resources and movement points, it should be enough to make up for his consumption.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to release another 20% origin energy on the spot.
However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly thought of the Demon King’s Heart.
“Awaken!”
After activating the Demon King’s Heart, he got an awakened ability. Although he didn’t know the uses, it couldn’t be a trashy ability, could it?
After all, every time the awakening state was activated, it would increase the awakening progress of the Demon King’s Heart.
If there weren’t enough matching benefits, it could only mean that this Demon King’s Heart was stupid.
The awakened Demon King’s Heart might cause him to be corrupted and become a demon.
Lin Qiye didn’t want to use it, but now was the best time to figure out the effects of the awakening skill. As long as he didn’t let the awakening progress increase to 100%, the threat level was no different from 0%.
At that thought, Lin Qiye no longer hesitated. With a single thought, boiling blood gushed out from the wound.
[Awakened state, activate!]
“Ah!”
The boiling blood that suddenly gushed out filled Lin Qiye’s body. He felt as if his entire body was about to explode, and even his head was in pain.
He held his head and let out a painful roar.
The ox-headed demon was startled by his state, but he quickly recovered.
The demon wanted to take advantage. He didn’t know what was going on with Lin Qiye, but he definitely wouldn’t let go of this opportunity to attack for nothing.
“Ha, go to hell!”
The ox-headed demon sneered. His right arm doubled in size, and sharp claws and fangs emerged from his fingertips. He charged straight at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye, in a state of pain, seemed to have lost all ability to defend himself. Facing the ox-headed demon’s attack, he did not have the slightest intention of defending or dodging.
However, just as the ox-headed demon’s sharp claws were about to reach Lin Qiye, the latter suddenly turned around and grabbed the veins on the demon’s wrist.
The giant claws were even larger than Lin Qiye’s body. However, they could not move an inch forward or pull out under Lin Qiye’s grip.
“How could this be?”
The ox-headed demon was taken aback.
He felt as if his hand had been embedded into the depths of a mountain, and he couldn’t move it at all.
Then, he looked up at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye was no longer in pain and madness. However, his personality had changed.
He didn’t look like a human at all, but a demon! An absolutely pure demon!
“You!”
The ox-headed demon’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe what he saw.
Was Lin Qiye a demon?
He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
Wei Tong and the rest watching the battle from afar were just as shocked and confused as him.
Everyone had witnessed the process of Lin Qiye’s body changing dramatically.
They could sense the pure demonic energy from Lin Qiye’s body. It was even more terrifying than the ox-headed demon!
A genius of the human race was an extremely terrifying demon?
Could he be a spy planted by the demon race?
The crowd found it hard to accept and couldn’t understand.
If Lin Qiye was a spy of the demon race, there was no way to explain him killing hundreds of demons just now!
Furthermore, he was currently fighting with the ox-headed demon. Even if he wanted to put on an act, wouldn’t it be too stupid of him to expose his identity?
While everyone was still in shock, Lin Qiye was no longer in pain. He grabbed the ox-headed demon’s wrist with one hand and raised his head.
At this moment, his body was covered in shiny black scales, and the edges of each scale had purple patterns.
He had grown several times taller, reaching a height of more than ten meters.
The Thunder God Armor on his body seemed to have merged with the scales and was bright and full of power.
The skin on his face was exposed, but it was a dead-ish gray color, as if it had no life, like a zombie.
A pair of silver wings appeared on his back. They looked solid and powerful. The wings were sharp and seemed to cut through all matter.
[Life Lantern Gem prompt: The awakening state has been activated. The current awakening strength is 30%.]
[Demon King’s Heart awakening progress: 0.1%… 0.2%…]
