Chapter 235: Xiaoyao is on the verge of death, and the battle for inheritance is still going on
"Where is this..." Ren Xiaoyao's consciousness drifted in a void, surrounded by an eerie silence, as if time and space had come to a standstill. He felt an unprecedented sense of confusion, as if lost in the boundless universe, unable to find his direction or see the end.
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't give up!" Suddenly, Xia Lin's anxious voice pierced through the fog, illuminating Ren Xiaoyao's chaotic mind. He suddenly remembered the danger he was in, Xia Lin's expectant eyes, and his unfinished mission.
"Yes, I can't give up!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted in his heart. He forced himself to calm down and began to examine this empty space. Gradually, he found that this space was not completely empty, but was filled with faint light points. These light points flickered in different colors and contained mysterious power.
Ren Xiaoyao instinctively wanted to touch these light spots, but found himself unable to move, as if bound by invisible shackles. He tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, but found that the spiritual power was like a quagmire, unable to flow freely.
"What's going on?" Ren Xiaoyao was filled with doubts. At this moment, an old and majestic voice sounded in his ears: "Child, you are finally here..."
The voice seemed to come from ancient times, full of the vicissitudes of time, yet with an indescribable intimacy. Ren Xiaoyao looked around, but couldn't find the source of the voice. He could only respectfully ask, "Who are you, senior? Why are you here?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is you," the voice paused, then continued, "Do you see? The potential within you is far from being developed. You're like an eagle trapped in a cage, with wings but unable to soar."
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked when he heard this. He thought of the various bottlenecks he encountered on his path of cultivation and the powerlessness he felt when facing strong enemies. Could it be that all this was because he had not exerted his true strength?
"Senior, how can I break this shackle and release my potential?" Ren Xiaoyao asked anxiously.
The voice was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Child, look carefully, what are these light spots?"
Ren Xiaoyao once again turned his gaze to the flashing spots of light. This time, he concentrated and observed carefully. Gradually, he discovered that these spots of light were not random, but were arranged according to a certain pattern, faintly forming mysterious patterns.
"These are..." A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Ren Xiaoyao's mind. He remembered the secrets of "Heavenly Evolution Technique" that True Lord Jiuyang had taught him. Could it be...
"That's right, these are the essence of the 'Art of Heaven'," the voice said, as if seeing through Ren Xiaoyao's thoughts. "If you study them carefully, you'll be able to find the direction for a breakthrough."
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on comprehending the profound meaning contained in those light points. He felt as if his consciousness had merged with these light points, and a powerful force awakened within him...
In the distance, Xia Lin and the Ethereal Fairy, who had been keeping an eye on Ren Xiaoyao, suddenly felt a powerful energy surge emanating from him. They looked at him in surprise, only to see a blush appear on his pale face, and a faint golden light shone through his tightly closed eyes...
"Brother Xiaoyao, you're going to..." Xia Lin was stunned by the scene before she could finish her words. Ren Xiaoyao's body was suspended in mid-air, his once faint aura now surging like a storm. A golden halo surrounded him, and the injuries he had sustained from the Black Demon King's forbidden spell were healing at a visible rate. The black beam that had once threatened to devour him was now blocked by the golden light, emitting a sizzling sound, as if ice and snow had encountered a raging fire, constantly melting and disintegrating.
Upon seeing this, the Black Demon King's scarlet eyes flashed with disbelief. This forbidden spell of his had been condensed from the resentment of countless lives. Even those stronger than him dared not easily challenge its edge. And how could a mere junior like Ren Xiaoyao be able to withstand its erosion?
"Impossible!" the Black Demon King roared, quickly forming seals with his hands and continuously injecting demonic energy into the black beam, trying to increase its power. However, the light around Ren Xiaoyao became increasingly dazzling, like a rising sun, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.
"Break it!" The Black Demon King roared unwillingly, pouring all his demonic energy into the black beam without reservation. The black beam suddenly expanded, carrying the power of destroying the world, and bombarded Ren Xiaoyao again.
However, at this critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting two golden rays of light. He slowly raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and gently tapped the black beam of light.
"break!"
A low roar came, as if coming from a god above the nine heavens, with unquestionable majesty.
A golden beam of light burst forth from Ren Xiaoyao's fingertips, colliding with the black beam. Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, a fierce wind howled, and the entire space seemed to be torn apart.
The Black Demon King looked at this scene in disbelief. He felt an unprecedented powerful force coming from the golden beam of light. The power was so strong that it even made him feel a little scared.
"This... what kind of power is this?!" The Black Demon King took several steps back in horror, muttering to himself in disbelief.
At this moment, Xia Lin, who had been paying attention to Ren Xiaoyao, saw that he actually blocked the attack of the Black Demon King. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on her originally desperate face.
"Brother Xiaoyao..."
Xia Lin's tears welled up, but this time, they were tears of joy, not despair. She clenched her fists tightly and shouted to Ren Xiaoyao, "Brother Xiaoyao, you can do this! Come on!" Her clear voice echoed across the empty battlefield, like a beam of warm light, illuminating Ren Xiaoyao's heart.
Fairy Kong Ling, who had been watching from the sidelines, could hardly conceal her surprise. She had initially assumed Ren Xiaoyao was doomed, but she hadn't expected him to transcend himself in this life-or-death situation, unleashing such astonishing power. Could he truly be the destined successor? A complex expression flashed across Fairy Kong Ling's beautiful eyes, but she quickly cast aside the distracting thoughts. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and a powerful celestial force surged from her body, transforming into beams of light that bombarded the Black Demon King.
Feeling that the Fairy Kong Ling had joined the battle, the Black Demon King's expression suddenly turned even uglier. He had originally thought that with his own strength, he could easily deal with Ren Xiaoyao and the Fairy Kong Ling, but now it seemed that he had underestimated the potential of these two young people.
"Damn it! Do you really think you can compete with me with this little strength? That's wishful thinking!" The Black Demon King roared, raising his hands above his head, and a huge black energy ball condensed into shape in his hands.
"Oh no, he's going to use his ultimate move!" The ethereal fairy's face changed and she warned loudly.
Ren Xiaoyao also felt the terrifying aura emanating from the Black Demon King. He took a deep breath, mobilized the power that had just broken through in his body to the extreme, and prepared to meet the challenge.
"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin's voice was filled with worry, but she could do nothing to help. She could only watch helplessly as the black energy ball bombarded Ren Xiaoyao...
"If you want to hurt him, you'll have to get past me first!" At this critical moment, a cold voice rang out on the battlefield, and then a white figure blocked Ren Xiaoyao's way...
The white figure was slender and resolute, like a snow lotus blossoming in the cold wind. With a flick of her hand, the ethereal fairy created a transparent barrier, blocking the path of the Black Demon King's attack. The black energy ball collided with the barrier, stirring up a violent energy surge that shook the entire space.
"Fairy Kong Ling, what do you mean by this?" the Black Demon King roared, a hint of fear in his tone. Although he was arrogant, he also knew that Fairy Kong Ling was not someone to be trifled with.
"Heisha, stop it," said the ethereal fairy with a calm expression and a voice as clear and cold as a mountain stream. "You have no chance of inheriting the inheritance, so why are you forcing me so hard?"
"No chance? Humph! As long as I kill this brat, the inheritance will be mine. Then, who can stop me?" The Black Demon King's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"You dare!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously. Although she knew that she was weak, she would never watch Ren Xiaoyao fall into danger.
"Haha, little girl, who do you think you are? How dare you speak nonsense in front of me?" The Black Demon King laughed wildly, his eyes full of disdain.
"You..." Xia Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she was unable to refute.
"Enough!" Ren Xiaoyao growled, struggling to stand up. Although he had just achieved a breakthrough, his injuries had not yet healed, and his face looked a little pale. "Fairy Kong Ling, thank you for your kindness, but I'll deal with the Black Demon King myself."
"Brother Xiaoyao, you..." Xia Lin looked at him worriedly, hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ren Xiaoyao gave her a reassuring look, then turned his gaze to the Black Demon King, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "Black Demon, come on, let me see what other tricks you have!"
The Black Demon King sneered, "You ignorant creature! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and transformed into a streak of black lightning, hurtling towards Ren Xiaoyao. His right hand formed a claw, a pitch-black demonic aura swirling around it, emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart pound.
"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed, her heart in her throat.
Facing the Black Demon King's new wave of attacks, Ren Xiaoyao didn't retreat. He relied on his newly gained strength to barely withstand the Black Demon King's first round of attacks. The black demon's claws, with their sharp gusts of wind, continuously bombarded the protective Qi in front of Ren Xiaoyao, emitting bursts of piercing explosions.
"Is this all you have?" The Black Demon King's voice was filled with sarcasm. "It seems your breakthrough is just this much!"
Ren Xiaoyao ignored his provocation. He closed his eyes slightly and concentrated on mobilizing the inner energy in his body. He knew that the Black Demon King's real killer move was still to come...
"Next, I will let you see what real power is!" The Black Demon King roared, and a black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade was engraved with strange runes, emitting a creepy and terrifying aura.
"Not good!" Fairy Kong Ling's face suddenly changed, and she cried out in shock, "That is..."
