Boom!
The demon's body, like a shooting star, fiercely collided with Kong Tian'ao, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions.
Kong Tian'ao's pupils shrank rapidly, and an extremely dangerous aura permeated the surroundings.
Kong Tian'ao roared madly, the primal energy within his body circulating to its extreme. His entire being transformed into a blazing sun, emitting dazzling light.
Boom!
He used all his might to unleash his ultimate skill—
Peacock Burning Heaven Art!
This martial skill was taught to him by his father, King Peacock.
Its power was terrifying, capable of burning mountains and rivers, destroying a city, and was a peerless killing technique.
Unfortunately, he was completely unable to activate this skill now. Otherwise, he would have already used it and wouldn't need to flee.
"Die!" Kong Tian'ao roared, desperately channeling his primal energy.
The two collided, and space itself seemed to tremble, the void shattered, revealing dark rifts, immensely terrifying.
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
Kong Tian'ao was sent flying back, his chest caved in, and his body was covered in dense injuries, looking utterly disheveled.
"Damn human!"
The demon was furious, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His figure flickered, instantly appearing beside Kong Tian'ao, and then he grabbed his shoulder.
"Scram!"
Kong Tian'ao roared, but he was powerless to resist. He could only watch as the demon slowly devoured his body.
"No... help me..." he cried out in panic, but it was useless. He watched with his own eyes as his body, torn apart by the demon, cracked inch by inch, blood gushing out, a horrific sight.
"Your body is too weak, it doesn't suit this Emperor's palate. Keeping it is a burden, so rest in peace. Hahaha." The demon expert laughed wildly, devouring Kong Tian'ao and merging him into his own body.
"Hoo... hoo..."
After devouring Kong Tian'ao, the demon expert's demonic energy became even more concentrated, his entire being seemingly shrouded in black mist.
...
At this moment, Zhou Yan and the others in Luoli Immortal Palace were unaware that the palace was heavily surrounded by demons. They were still searching for treasures within the palace.
"Found it! There should be a hidden secret room here. If we open it, there will definitely be treasures inside!" Diao Chan said excitedly.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Let's go in and take a look. It looks quite promising!"
The group walked forward to a large door. Diao Chan extended her delicate hand, grasped the handle, and gently pulled. The door opened on its own.
"Wow! This room is filled with pills, oh my god, all of them are ninth-grade or higher!" The women exclaimed in unison, each taking out a pill bottle to examine it closely.
Zhou Yan also approached and his eyes lit up with a fervent glow as he saw the pills.
These pills were priceless!
"Huh? Why is this pill different from the ordinary ones?" Diao Chan suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the other women also gathered around.
Indeed, the pill was light green, crystal clear, and filled with vitality. Just smelling it, wisps of sweet fragrance wafted into Zhou Yan's nostrils.
"The primal energy fluctuations contained in this pill are so strong. It seems to be a demi-god level healing pill!" Zhou Yan was astonished. "As expected of Luoli Immortal Palace, to have such precious pills."
"Not only that, but these pills all seem to have reached the peak grade," Diao Chan said excitedly.
"That's right, it is indeed so. If the territory's soldiers take these pills, it will greatly help their strength!" Zhou Yan said.
Although the territory had alchemists, no one would ever complain about having too many treasures.
Ye Xun also marveled, "It seems we have gained a lot this time."
The group continued deeper into the palace.
Suddenly, Ye Xun stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yan asked.
Ye Xun said, "I seem to sense a strange aura nearby."
"A strange aura?" Zhou Yan frowned, then said, "Let me see."
He released his primal energy, covering a radius of a hundred meters. Soon, his face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, "Could there be some treasure here?"
"What treasure?"
Zhou Yan ignored them and strode directly into the deepest part of the palace. Instantly, he felt a majestic aura coming towards him.
"Such potent demonic energy!" Zhou Yan's heart rate clearly quickened. He couldn't wait to move forward.
Finally, he saw the source of that aura.
It was a fist-sized ball of blue liquid, suspended quietly on the floor, emitting a soft glow.
"This is..." Zhou Yan's eyelids twitched violently, his heart pounding.
That ball of blue liquid was something countless people dreamed of, a demon core!
This ball of blue liquid was indeed a demon core.
"Hahaha, I finally found you!" Zhou Yan was overjoyed.
Without hesitation, he reached out to grab the ball of blue liquid.
Buzz!
However, at this moment, a strange red light suddenly lit up within the blue liquid.
Hiss...
Those red lights quickly condensed, transforming into chains that entangled the blue liquid, imprisoning it and sealing it within.
"Hmm?" Zhou Yan was stunned. He had not expected such a situation to occur.
The blue liquid suddenly flickered and disappeared.
At the same time, an icy voice echoed in Zhou Yan's mind, "Anyone who dares to covet my demon core must be prepared to pay the price. My patience is limited. Leave immediately."
Boom!
Zhou Yan felt a massive wave of demonic energy surging from afar, crushing towards him.
That aura was so powerful that Zhou Yan could barely breathe, and the entire void was shaking.
"Thank you for helping me find the most important item in Luoli Immortal Palace. From now on, the entire immortal palace will be under our jurisdiction." Powerful demons appeared out of thin air, descending into the hall.
These demons were all at the level of Demon Generals of the Ninety-fourth Heaven, and there were even two Demon Lords of the Ninety-seventh Heaven.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Xun asked in a deep voice.
He had already sensed something was wrong. He hadn't expected these demons to be so cunning, to have ambushed here in advance, waiting for them to fall into their trap.
"Hmph, what do we want to do? This is something that belongs to our Luoshen Immortal Palace, and naturally it belongs to us demons. You humans are not worthy of such treasures. Leave obediently, and perhaps I can forgive your offense!"
An ugly-looking eight-winged demon said, his face filled with ferocity, exuding a sinister and evil aura.
"Your demon race is simply too overbearing. Since we have discovered it, you must hand over these treasures!" Zhou Yan said in a deep voice.
"Who do you think you are, daring to interrupt?" The eight-winged demon's eyes flashed fiercely. He suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of dense flames, sweeping towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's expression was a little surprised. This was no ordinary flame, and it was very rare. It seemed this demon was not an ordinary one. This Great Desolation still had many surprising strong individuals of different races, truly worthy of being a top-tier world.
