Chapter 120: Chapter 115: Terrifying Blood Pool, Demon God Opens Eyes!
"That bastard killed my brother!" The Barbarian Bull Demon King clenched his fist tightly, panting heavily.
Its other hand pointed towards a wolf-skin cloak on the rack, its eyes blood-red.
The pungent hot breath exhaled from the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s nose and mouth sprayed all over Zhou Batong\'s face.
His forehead veins throbbed.
But upon reflection, he thought it not worth clashing with this brainless creature.
"So…" Zhou Batong sneered, "what are you doing in this damned place—did you also want to avenge your brother?"
"Don\'t forget, even the White Deer Demon King was slaughtered by that guy, let alone you."
Among the seven Demon Kings of the Sky Demon Alliance,
the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s strength ranked last, with nothing but brute force.
Being single-minded, he did not catch the sarcasm in Zhou Batong\'s words.
"Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not be able to defeat that guy," the Barbarian Bull Demon King said in a husky voice, "but if that guy is in a critical moment of seclusion, then it\'s hard to say. I remember, you human Martial Artists cannot be disturbed during seclusion, right?"
"The slightest mishap could lead to deviating into madness, or even immediate loss of control and death on the spot."
"Seclusion!?"
Zhou Batong was also startled, "How did you know he was in seclusion?"
"With all the noise we\'ve been making, and that guy still hasn\'t come out, he must be occupied with something urgent," the Barbarian Bull Demon King said, casting a disdainful glance at him.
Zhou Batong\'s forehead veins throbbed violently again.
Being looked down on for his intelligence by this brainless creature was utterly unbearable!
"Besides, there\'s this door!" The Barbarian Bull Demon King turned around, knocked on the stone door in front of him with his brawny arm, and immediately a thudding sound ensued.
"Goodness…"
Zhou Batong turned to look, also startled, "This door is entirely made of glowstone."
Glowstone was a considerably precious material.
Not only was it sturdy, but it could also suppress and isolate demonic qi.
The sudden appearance of such a door in Su Heng\'s office, when combined with various details, made Zhou Batong think the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s guess was not so far off.
"How about that!?" the Barbarian Bull Demon King said enticingly, "If we can take this opportunity to finish that guy off, it would be a great accomplishment!"
"Such an opportunity, if missed, won\'t come again."
"Really this coincidental?" Zhou Batong pondered for a while and gradually became tempted.
Bang!
The Barbarian Bull Demon King, careless,
bowed his head, aimed his horns at the stone door.
Its body\'s muscles erupted, every hair standing on end, as it charged once more.
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded.
The white ash scattered from the ground, but the stone door didn\'t budge an inch. Explore more at m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net
Instead, the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s two horns were heavily embedded in the stone door; it pulled hard twice but could not free itself.
Bang!
The Barbarian Bull Demon King, somewhat annoyed,
kicked at the door with one foot, using the tremendous recoil to finally free itself.
It staggered back several steps, tumbling over, smashing several chairs and the solid wooden desk in the center of the room before finally sitting on the ground with a thud.
Its face and body were covered in fine wood shavings, looking utterly disheveled and embarrassed.
"Phew!" The Barbarian Bull Demon King spat out a piece of paper stuck to its face, stood up and asked, "This door is both stinky and tough; if Old Bull can\'t break it, do you have any ideas?"
"This door is crafted from glowstone, specifically to counteract you demons—you obviously can\'t easily break it."
Zhou Batong touched the flesh on his chin and said, "I can make a mark on it, then you can follow the mark to pry the door open. That should work, right?"
"Hmm, we can try that," the Barbarian Bull Demon King nodded.
"Then…"
Whoosh!
Zhou Batong took a deep breath.
His body fat surged like a tire,
a stream-like force emerging, flowing into his arms, causing them to visibly swell.
He then took the broadsword from his back, swung it mightily at the door.
Boom!
Another loud sound.
As the dust slowly settled, a distinct dent appeared right in the center seam of the stone door.
The Barbarian Bull Demon King stepped forward, gripped the dent with both hands and pulled hard to both sides. As the lowest-ranked Demon King, this fellow still had some merits. At the very least, purely in terms of brute strength, the Barbarian Bull Demon King deserved some commendation.
Its arms bulged, teeth clenched.
Its eyes filled with blood-red capillaries, and large veins bulged over its face and body.
Boom, Boom, Boom!
The massive, several-ton stone door, along with various mechanisms within the walls,
was forcibly ripped open by the Barbarian Bull Demon King, accompanied by a mighty wind sweeping away the dust on the ground, revealing a hallway before the two of them.
The hallway was pitch black, seemingly unfathomable, with only a dim red light twinkling at its deepest end.
No sooner had the stone door been opened than a thick, heavy odor of blood filled the air.
Zhou Batong\'s eyelids throbbed violently.
He felt a bit breathless and a strong sense of imminent danger overwhelmed him.
"What are you standing there stupidly for, come on over," the Barbarian Bull Demon King had already plowed ahead into the hallway.
At that moment, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head to urge.
Zhou Batong clenched his teeth.
As a Family Head, he didn\'t want to be looked down upon by others.
So, steeling himself, he followed, walking alongside the Barbarian Bull Demon King.
"What about the guy outside, did you kill him?" The voice of the Barbarian Bull Demon King arose and echoed in the darkness.
"No..." Zhou Batong replied solemnly, "That guy had merged with a powerful demonic corpse and couldn\'t control it. I released some sixth-level demons to lure him away. By the time I turned back, I realized you weren\'t on the sixth level at all, so I had to come back and look for you."
As Zhou Batong spoke, he eventually fell silent.
The Barbarian Bull Demon King hummed in response and didn\'t speak again, both men bowing their heads and moving forward.
The short distance of less than a hundred meters seemed as long as the road to heaven at this point, the oppressive feeling growing ever more tangible as they moved forward. Eventually, even the thick-skinned Barbarian Bull Demon King noticed something was wrong and began to breathe heavily.
Finally, the two arrived at the room at the end of the corridor.
The room was a sea of blood.
What caught their eyes was a huge blood pool in the center and an enormous crimson cocoon within it.
The cocoon was three meters tall and more than two and a half meters wide.
This was still in a seated posture. One could only imagine how tall and majestic the creature inside the cocoon would be if it stood up!
"Is that Su Heng inside the cocoon!?" both exclaimed with bulging eyes, stunned by the scene before them.
The Barbarian Bull Demon King exclaimed, "Such a vast blood pool, what wicked cultivation technique is this guy practicing!"
The Barbarian Bull Demon King felt the presence of Demon Kings inside the blood pool, and not just one.
There were also various powerful human Martial Artists, demonic servants, and so on.
As a Demon King,
it had slaughtered countless beings.
But to gather such a vast blood pool of high-quality blood was beyond the imaginings of the Barbarian Bull Demon King.
"Damn it, this guy must be the biggest demon in the Demon Suppression Tower," he felt, sensing the powerful aura emanating from inside the cocoon.
Zhou Batong was deeply shocked as well.
He gulped nervously, his face turning pale, unable for a moment to determine whether the being inside the cocoon was human or monster!
"Whether it\'s human or monster, this is a rare opportunity, let me handle this!"
The Barbarian Bull Demon King sensed the presence of Bai Lu and Cang Ye, two Demon Kings, inside the blood pool.
Anger surged straight to his crown.
His eyes reddened and smoke billowed from his nostrils.
He stomped heavily, and his robust body charged towards the blood cocoon like a mad bull.
Without hesitation, he exerted all his strength, vowing to annihilate, tear apart, and grind the giant cocoon and the creature inside it into the mud!
"Aaaaaah!"
The Barbarian Bull Demon King had not yet touched the blood cocoon; he had barely even touched the blood at his feet.
He suddenly stopped and let out a piercing scream.
"What\'s happening!?" Zhou Batong was instantly alarmed.
But he saw the previously calm blood pool, sensing an intruder, violently surge and boil.
Huge clumps of muddy blood marsh twisted around the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s robust hooves and thighs.
The moment the two made contact, they hissed and emitted thick corrosive fumes.
"Damn it, what the hell is inside here!" As madness turned to horror on the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s face, his legs already showed bones in just a few moments.
The Barbarian Bull Demon King struggled violently, trying to exit the blood pool.
Crack!
The cocoon ripped open, and a black light flashed fiercely.
A massive tail, pitch-black with a gigantic triangular claw at its end, spread out, clutched the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s neck without warning, and yanked him in fiercely.
The Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s huge robust body, uncontrollable like a rag doll, soared in the air.
The blood cocoon tore completely, revealing a pitch-black, fierce dragon-like demonic figure that slowly rose.
"Save me!" The Barbarian Bull Demon King trembled and howled loudly.
His voice abruptly stopped—
A maw full of sharp teeth violently opened and clamped down on the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s neck. Two thick clawed hands, covered with scale armor, gripped the Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s shoulder and arm and tore fiercely.
Hiss!
In the chilling sound of flesh being torn,
The Barbarian Bull Demon King\'s face twisted, his eyes bulging, and his body was brutally ripped into two halves like a toy.
Chunks of organs, flesh, and bones fell into the blood pool, causing ripples.
The blood pool swirled and instantly digested these matters.
The remaining thick blood, like magma, slowly flowed upward, forming a terrifying crimson blood net over the limbs of the monster, entirely enveloping him.
Amid the hissing sound, thick smoke emitted from the monster\'s body, and the blood pool visibly dropped, exposing the bones at the bottom. All the nutrients within the blood pool were entirely absorbed by him, completing the final dragon transformation!
In another part of the chamber,
Zhou Batong\'s legs went weak, with a turmoil of emotions flooding his mind.
His face was terrifyingly pale, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
"What the hell is this joke!"
"A Demon King! Goddamn, a top-tier combatant of the Sky Demon Alliance, taken down in an instant! And even in an unconscious state!"
Zhou Batong trembled, holding his breath, his back tightly against the chamber wall, inching slowly towards the corridor.
Fearful that any slight noise might awaken the monster in the blood pool.
Plip!
A drop of sweat fell from Zhou Batong\'s chin,
Landing on the floor, splashing, and making a faint sound.
At the same time, along with a long breath, the monster in the blood pool abruptly opened its eyes.
