“How can we destroy this reincarnation altar?” Qin Chen said in a deep voice. “That’s very difficult. Unless I personally take action, you won’t be able to destroy it with your current cultivation level. But if I do take action, not only will it exhaust all the power I just regained, but it will also alert the person who set up this reincarnation altar. By then, you will be in even more danger.”
“Does that mean I can only allow the enemy to take over my body?” Qin Chen felt nervous. What he feared was not being taken over by the Demon Tribe; he had a parasitic seed within him, making it impossible for the Demon Tribe to take over his body. However, once the baptism was over and everyone else was taken over while he remained unscathed, it would undoubtedly expose him immediately.
At that time, what would be the difference from being taken over? Lao Yuan realized Qin Chen's predicament and started laughing, “Destroy the reincarnation altar? Why destroy it? For you humans, the souls of the Demon Tribe are the most terrifying threat, easily able to take over the souls of human experts. But for me, Lao Yuan, this is a great tonic.”
Lao Yuan’s voice was filled with amusement as it entered Qin Chen's mind.
“Tonic?” Qin Chen was confused. “Perhaps you don’t know, the Demon Tribe can devour my source beast’s blood essence to enhance their cultivation. My source beast can also absorb the souls of the Demon Tribe to regain strength.” Lao Yuan said happily, “If there were countless intact bodies and souls of the Demon Tribe here, I might be a bit worried. But these souls brought in by the mere reincarnation altar are just great supplements for me. You don’t need to worry about anything; just watch.”
“Is that so?” Qin Chen was still somewhat confused.
But he had no other choice now. He might as well cause a scene. At worst, he would let Lao Yuan take action; if exposed, then so be it.
With that thought in mind, Qin Chen steeled his resolve, “Lao Yuan, you can go ahead and act.”
“Haha, great! Here I come!”
Woo woo woo!
Just as Lao Yuan finished speaking, the reincarnation altar suddenly surged with a cold aura. Streams of terrifying black demonic energy seemed to be summoned from the void, flying out from the altar one after another.
“Jie jie jie, human bodies.”
“Hahaha, purified human bodies through blood crystals.”
A grotesque laughter echoed as these black demonic energies transformed into fierce faces of the Demon Tribe. Upon seeing so many human Martial Gods on the scene, they all revealed ecstatic expressions.
“What in the world are these?”
Xu Dongsheng and the others were terrified and wanted to retreat in horror. But under this cold aura, they couldn’t even move, only able to watch as these sinister black shadows lunged towards them.
“Ah, damn Ji family!”
“Elder, I am also a disciple of the Ji family, don’t!”
“Damn it, the Ji family is too despicable, beasts!”
The stone chamber was filled with piercing screams. Everyone despaired, realizing what they were about to face: being taken over by these black shadows.
At the same time, among these sinister shadows, the strongest power immediately locked onto Qin Chen.
“Jie jie jie, this body may have the lowest cultivation, but its talent is the strongest. It belongs to this Demon Lord now.”
This terrifying soul of the Demon Tribe, sensing Qin Chen's fleshly aura, was extremely excited and rushed towards him. Along the way, the several souls of the Demon Tribe that had initially targeted Qin Chen quickly retreated, making way for him.
The Demon Tribe highly valued hierarchy, and whatever the strong desired, the weak would naturally not dare to compete for.
Boom!
This force was incredibly terrifying; it was evidently a Demon Lord-level expert, and at least on par with the likes of Yong Ye and Chi Yan. In an instant, it entered Qin Chen’s body, the cold power spreading out and immediately enveloping Qin Chen's mind.
“Jie jie jie, what a surprise, this person’s soul power is unexpectedly so strong. After devouring it, my power will surely recover significantly. Heaven helps me.”
