Chapter 72

readx;

In the underground space beneath the Black Dragon River, the face on the blood-colored altar became much dimmer.

"Damn it, that little black dragon would rather destroy the last bit of its spiritual consciousness to escape from my grasp!"

The blood-colored face was furious.

It was just a step away from seizing the dragon pearl. Using the dragon pearl, it would have a chance to escape from the place it was trapped in and return to this land.

Unfortunately, the final counterattack of the dragon pearl shattered the blood-colored large hand it had manifested, leaving it very weak. The energy of the blood pool had been depleted by more than ninety percent, and it could no longer manifest, let alone cross tens or even hundreds of miles to retrieve the dragon pearl.

Moreover, its consciousness had reached its limit in breaking through the seal. Without the power of the blood pool, it could not have held on for much longer.

In the next moment, the demon lord, who was suppressed underground, looked at the leader of the Dark Demon Sect and said, "I will grant you power to bring back the dragon pearl. I will reward you greatly!"

The blood-colored face on the blood pool suddenly turned into a beam of blood-colored light, crossing several dozen feet, and surged into the body of the Dark Demon Sect leader.

"Ah..."

The Dark Demon Sect leader was delighted at first, but then the terrifying blood-colored energy flooded into his body.

At that moment, the blood-colored energy forcibly opened up his acupoints, turning them into blood-colored spirit points. His physical body visibly changed, with blood-colored strands of hair falling, his eyes turning crimson, and his nails becoming sharp, emitting a terrifying aura.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Demon Sect leader was opened up with hundreds of spirit points by the demon lord using the remaining blood-colored energy.

These hundreds of spirit points faintly formed a sinister and bizarre demon pattern, refining a thread of extremely pure demon essence.

When the Dark Demon Sect leader's aura gradually calmed down, he had been forcibly elevated to a human demon by the demon lord, with demonic energy like the sea, equivalent to the level of a human-class expert.

Although this forcibly elevated human demon temporarily lacked the various techniques and battle skills of a human-class expert, it was considered the weakest human-class.

"Thank you, my lord. I will definitely retrieve the dragon pearl and present it to you, wishing you to break free and rule the world."

After expressing his loyalty, the Dark Demon Sect leader immediately left the underground space and pursued the direction the dragon pearl had fled.

At the same time, at the location where the dragon pearl had fallen.

When the Black Dragon Gang's leader revealed his identity, all the experts from various forces and all the martial artists present fell silent.

They were shocked that the Black Dragon Gang was a force of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom.

Although the dragon pearl was an unparalleled treasure that drove all martial artists mad, in front of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, they were like ants, unable to resist the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom.

To seize the dragon pearl and break through the encirclement under such heavy siege was impossible for any force.

Even if they managed to escape by chance, they would face the full-scale pursuit of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom.

In broad daylight, no one dared to offend the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom and compete for this unparalleled treasure.

Of course, if someone could completely annihilate the Black Dragon Gang and all the forces present, and monopolize the dragon pearl, the news would not reach the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom.

Otherwise, only those martial artists who did not belong to any force would take such a risk, disregarding the pursuit of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom and other forces. The major forces and large families would not dare to act rashly, fearing a catastrophic disaster.

The Black Dragon Gang's leader had already considered the dragon pearl as his own.

He believed that no force would dare to snatch the dragon pearl from his Black Dragon Gang.

This millstone-sized dragon pearl was very heavy, weighing at least several hundred to a thousand pounds, with a mysterious force surrounding it, making it impossible to store in a storage ring.

"Carry it away!"

The Black Dragon Gang's leader ordered two dark guards to carry the dragon pearl.

The other forces and martial artists could only watch helplessly as the Black Dragon Gang took away the unparalleled treasure.

"Stop right there!"

A thunderous voice suddenly rolled over.

The martial artists present with lower cultivation levels felt dizzy and disoriented, their true qi surging, and their chests felt stifled, almost making them vomit blood.

Then, a beam of blood light rushed from the distant horizon.

The Dark Demon Sect leader stepped through the air, covering several dozen to a hundred feet in a single step, with boundless momentum.

For a moment, the Dark Demon Sect leader could not help but feel elated and intoxicated.

This was the power of a human demon.

He carefully felt the sensation of walking through the air, as if he had the universe in his hands, standing high above.

He looked down at the thousands of martial artists below, as if they were ants.

"Bring out the dragon pearl!"

The Dark Demon Sect leader now exuded a sense of authority, the aura of a strong expert.

"You are the leader of the Dark Demon Sect!"

The Black Dragon Gang's leader asked with a serious expression.

"Indeed!"

The Dark Demon Sect leader nodded, sizing up the Black Dragon Gang's leader, and said, "You must be the mysterious leader of the Black Dragon Gang. I didn't expect we would meet at such a time."

As for the various forces and experts watching from a distance, they were all somewhat frightened and uneasy.

They didn't expect the leader of the Dark Demon Sect to be a human-class expert.

After all, this leader of the Dark Demon Sect alone was enough to sweep through all the martial artists present, and any resistance would be futile.

This was the terror of a human-class expert!

Some forces and martial artists wanted to flee, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

Others turned pale, knowing how shocking it would be if the news of the dragon pearl leaked out. The leader of the Dark Demon Sect might kill them all to cover up the news.

At this moment, a figure as swift as lightning rushed from the distance.

In the next moment, Yi Tian appeared before everyone, causing the various forces to be startled.

What terrifying speed!

Even the Black Dragon Gang's leader and the Dark Demon Sect leader, who was floating in the air, noticed Yi Tian's arrival.

After all, the speed of Yi Tian's full-speed Feather Flight Technique was simply astonishing.

Even the Dark Demon Sect leader could not help but narrow his eyes.

Even if he could walk through the air, he doubted he could catch up to Yi Tian's speed, even if Yi Tian was running on the ground.

"It's him, the current strongest expert in Black Dragon City, Yi Tian!"

The martial artists from the Eight Families immediately recognized the identity of the newcomer.

At the same time, others also learned Yi Tian's identity, the expert who had caused a sensation in the entire Black Dragon City a few months ago, single-handedly killing several peak Ninth-Class experts.

"However, the position of the strongest expert in Black Dragon City will soon be passed on!"

Some martial artists who were extremely dissatisfied with Yi Tian and had a grudge against him said with a sense of schadenfreude.

The current strongest expert in Black Dragon City was undoubtedly the leader of the Dark Demon Sect, a human-class expert.

But whether it was the leader of the Dark Demon Sect or the mysterious leader of the Black Dragon Gang, they only glanced at Yi Tian and did not pay much attention. In their eyes, they did not take Yi Tian, the former strongest expert in Black Dragon City, seriously.

"Are you sure you want to snatch this dragon pearl? The Black Dragon Gang is a force of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, a task personally arranged by Emperor Tianfeng. You probably can't afford to offend us, so it's best to retreat quickly!"

The Black Dragon Gang's leader, who was very wary of him, had to once again bring up the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom as a massive support.

He believed that no human-class expert would dare to challenge the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom. After all, the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom had two or three dozen human-class generals stationed in various counties, borders, and the capital, with an incredibly deep foundation.

The only thing he was somewhat worried about was that the leader of the Dark Demon Sect might recklessly kill everyone present to cover up the news, even the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom wouldn't know who had taken the dragon pearl.

"Ha ha ha... What's the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom? I, Canglang, am determined to take this dragon pearl!"

The Dark Demon Sect leader's aura suddenly changed, a terrifying black demonic energy spreading out, enveloping several miles around, like a demon god descending.

The Black Dragon Gang's leader now looked extremely shocked and said, "You have actually become a demon!"

"Ha ha ha, indeed!"

The Dark Demon Sect leader could not help but say arrogantly, "Look, this is the power of a demon, it's too wonderful."

"Damn it!"

The Black Dragon Gang's leader's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

The other party had actually become a demon, joining the demon race and becoming a servant of the demons. Such a person was called a human demon by humans, equivalent to betraying humanity and willingly becoming a pawn of the demons.
