Immortal Devil Transformation-Book 16: Chapter 38: Great Devil King
Book 16: Chapter 38: Great Devil King
Zhang Ping’s body was drowned in molten metal and crazy vital energy.
He couldn’t see anything else. He could only see power that wished to destroy him.
Power that wanted to destroy him filled his world.
As such, he who already looked at this world with callous eyes felt even more antagonized by the world.
“Become the devil king, take on the entire world as your enemy…”
Just like the two Purgatory Mountain red robed Divine Adjudicators by the southern outskirts, he also began to chant in a devoted manner.
Metal liquid melted from giant metal crossbow arrows poured over his body. All types of powerful sacred level powers battered against his body… He couldn’t contend against this type of power. In an instant not even Sacred Experts could detect,the red-purple flames around him had countless holes opened up like mulberry leaves that were chewed up by silkworms. Immediately afterwards, they scattered with a rumbling noise.
The scorching hot metal liquid smashed into his armor surface, first blasting away the countless golden threads, and then even more metal liquid piled up. Layer after layer of swirling golden melted liquid, sword light and flying swords smashed into his armor.
His armor began to vibrate at an unimaginable frequency, making the luoshen jade lining the inside of the armor produce countless cracks. Endless seemingly fine, but actually tremendous power passed through the armor, attacking at his body.
The instant the impacts and heat truly made contact with Zhang Ping’s skin that was tougher than well-tempered steel, it immediately began to crack apart and fester.
As destructive power permeated even deeper into his body, his flesh and bones were also smashed apart bit by bit.
“Those who become devil kings must suffer endless pain, must have hearts like unmoving boulders, must tread through the path of endless corpses, must…”
However, he continued to chant in a pious manner.
The bones in his throat were smashed apart. He couldn’t utter any sounds anymore, yet he still continued to recite inwardly.
Even his eyes even began to crumble under the force, unable to see anything anymore either. However, the scene of him crawling out of the pitch-black depths and reaching Purgatory Mountain’s highest palace appeared in mind.
All of the bones and flesh in his body broke apart, but all of his power was concentrated by his heart. His heart was still throbbing powerfully.
His heart was beating at a strange rhythm. It began to release endless fine red-purple flames, these flames extending towards every part of his body.
His body wasn’t crushed into a mush of flesh. Instead, under the tempering of these flames, and under the pressure and rippling of the power around him, his body began to shrink.
His body in the armor began to shrink and then became even more condensed. His skin even began to slowly change from a dark color to a violet golden color.
This first true devil cultivator after hundreds of thousands of years, by exploiting the endless killing intent and hatred directed towards himself, carried out the transformation of becoming a king.
No one knew what was really happening inside the armor.
Under Green Luan Academy’s most powerful counterattack, this set of armor that seemed completely invincible, something not even Nangong Weiyang could stop, was blasted backwards like a plow running through the ground.
The melted metal liquid piled on this armor’s body. The attacks from Nangon Weiyang and Lin Xi’s group, as well as Tong Wei and the other academy experts, made scarlet red molten metal splatter everywhere. However, under the academy’s planning and preparations, this was Yunqin history’s largest scale, as well as most accurate military barrage. Giant crossbow arrows battered Zhang Ping’s body endlessly like a waterfall, so more and more molten metal began to pile up and stick to this set of armor.
Eventually, even this armor’s appearance couldn’t be made out anymore. They could only see a giant melted butter like armor instead growing larger and larger.
Pu pu noises continuously sounded.
Eventually, the massive screaming crossbow arrows couldn’t even penetrate through the semi-liquid metal, all of them stabbing on top.
This armor then looked like a massive metal porcupine.
…
Was this just going to end like this?
Many Central Continent City cultivators thought this. They shivered inwardly while looking at this set of armor that would inevitably be recorded in the books of history.
Most of them didn’t believe that the one inside the armor could survive.
However, the instant all of the sounds of crossbow arrows disappeared, those who were closer to this molten pile of metal all heard some slight sounds come out from within.
Lin Xi looked at this pile of still melting metal. Right now, even breathing seemed difficult.
He already used up all of his power. All of the meridians in his body felt like they were cut by countless small blades. When he sensed the vague bit of activity come from within this pile of metal, he didn’t know what kind of emotions he was feeling right now either.
Weng!
Rumbling noises sounded from atop the city gate towers again.
The instant they sensed that the Zhang Ping buried under all this molten metal still wasn’t dead, a certain commander issued another order. A terrifying stream of metal poured down from the walls again, sending another devastating stream down on this pile of metal that had already turned into a hedgehog. This lump of metal was struck flying.
Zhang Ping was in a state of unconsciousness.
Under his frustration, he even began to wonder if he was going to die.
However, under this type of impact, his heart still released a powerful beat.
He woke up.
Endless pain and a feeling of new life permeated his entire body at the same time.
AHHHHH!!!!!!
He released a crazy roar.
He was seated within a tight space, so he didn’t actually release any sounds. However, his arms and legs, his entire body released tremendous power.
Boom!
The lump of metal wrapped around him cracked apart.
Countless massive crossbow arrows that still hadn’t fully solidified erupted like a volcano, shooting everywhere, rushing into the skies, and then descended in all directions.
Endless miserable screams sounded.
These entirely red pieces of metal that already became a conical shape from air friction left many people in the distance seriously injured or directly took their lives.
Even more cries of horror sounded.
Everyone saw that the entirely red armor stood up, and then began to move.
Following its steps, the molten metal stuck to its body splashed all over the ground. The surface of its body began to change from entirely red to sapphire blue.
Under its feet, pools of molten metal formed one after another.
The sky seemed like it was burning.
The earth also seemed like it was burning.
“Leave!”
A fierce voice shouted.
This time, the one who shouted wasn’t Lin Xi, but Nangong Weiyang.
She didn’t have much dealings with Zhang Ping before. That was why from start until now, she was much calmer than Lin Xi, Qin Xiyue and the others.
She understood clearly that if even Green Luan Academy’s most vicious retaliation couldn’t kill Zhang Ping or even leave significant damage on his armor, then they had no chance of killing Zhang Ping. Sacred level power had no chance of killing Zhang Ping.
…
Zhang Ping raised his head again.
Black wings spread behind him once more.
His feet were no longer touching the ground. His entire body was like a flying sword, vibrating as it crushed towards Lin Xi like a meteor!
This instant of speed completely exceeded the speed of Lin Xi and the others’ retreat. Not even the military equipment on the city walls could be transferred in time at all.
Nangong Weiyang took a deep breath of air.
She gripped the flying sword in her hand. Then, her sword and body as one, she shot straight outwards.
Through her battles against Wenren Cangyue, she also learned his close range sword intent. The closer the sword was from her body, the more powerful the sword’s power became.
Right now, this was precisely her most powerful sword.
The tip of her sword landed on Zhang Ping’s chest.
Endless azure colored flames erupted from her sword’s tip.
Zhang Ping, as well as the entire world behind him, seemed to have been suppressed by this sword, as if they were going to cave in.
Compared to the sapphire armor, this sword was many times heavier. However, Zhang Ping wasn’t blown backwards from the impact.
Right at this time, his right hand actually prepared to grab this sword aimed at his chest.
A crack sounded.
Nangong Weiyang’s sword snapped in the middle.
Nangong Weiyang wanted to hold the broken sword and continue thrusting forward, but her body could no longer bear the power of the broken sword.
Pu!
The instant a blast of bloody mist shot out from her mouth, her entire body was pushed by a mysterious wave of power, sent flying outwards.
The wings behind Zhang Ping began to move like countless cicada wings. He also strangely stopped, floating in the sky.
In this instant, it was as if time itself already completely stopped.
However, there was suddenly a great mountain moving rumbling noise.
Central Continent City’s entire ground surface seemed to be shaking.
Two giant black gold carriages charged out crazily along the city walls’ shadows.
There weren’t any horses pulling them, yet these two black gold carriages moved faster than any horses could ever pull them.
Streak after streak of dazzling golden thunder radiance flickered from the carriage’s golden runes. Then, it wrapped these two carriages within, turning them into two giant golden spheres of lightning.
One giant sphere of lightning smashed towards Zhang Ping.
The other ball of golden lightning sped towards the falling, blood vomiting Nangong Weiyang, as well as Lin Xi’s group who hurriedly rushed to save Nangong Weiyang’s life.
Zhang Ping’s body rose higher, intending to avoid this carriage.
However, the golden thunder radiance suddenly became blazing hot. Endless whips of thunder thrashed at his body.
His body became momentarily frozen once again.
Boom!
This carriage smashed heavily into the sapphire armor.
All of the lightning disappeared.
The sapphire armor was stuck in this black gold carriage.
The sapphire armor’s arms and legs moved.
This black gold carriage immediately produced countless cracks, and then fell apart.
A black robed figure flew out with the scattered carriage, smashing into the city wall behind him.
Zhang Ping rushed past the destroyed black gold carriage. His feet only touched the ground once, but he already arrived in front of the black gold carriage that had just picked up Lin Xi’s group.
Then, he sent a steady fist at this carriage.
