Chapter 1169: Overcoming the Challenge

“Sky Devouring Corpse?”

Standing beside him, Liu Qing and first elder Zhu Li were startled when they heard Lin Dong’s words . Immediately, there were at a slight loss . Clearly, they did not know what this so called Sky Devouring Corpse was .

When Lin Dong saw this sight, he was not surprised . The Sky Devouring Corpse was something that only the Devouring Master had . Moreover, even with the latter’s abilities, the number of Sky Devouring Corpse that he created did not exceed the number of fingers on one’s hand . Moreover, most of them were destroyed during the ancient world war . In fact, even though Lin Dong currently had one in his possession, it was severely broken . Though his Sky Devouring Corpse was subsequently repaired by the Nine-tail Fox, it was still far from its peak strength .

Based on what Lin Dong was aware of, a perfect Sky Devouring Corpse could match up to a Reincarnation stage expert . Meanwhile, that black figure, which had appeared in front of the Devouring Divine Palace, was likely a Sky Devouring Corpse in perfect condition .  

Lin Dong involuntarily became envious when he saw this . Since he also possessed a Sky Devouring Corpse, he naturally knew just how powerful these items were . Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of a Sky Devouring Corpse was not its offence, but rather its defence .

A Sky Devouring Corpse in perfect condition might only be on par with a Reincarnation stage expert in terms of offence . However, by relying on its terrifying defence, even if two Reincarnation stage experts joined forces, they will have difficulties destroying it .

Being in possession of this item was akin to owning the strongest defensive equipment .

“It is an object that is unique to the Devouring Master . I’m afraid that the Sky Devouring Corpse standing in front of us is comparable to a Reincarnation stage expert . ” Lin Dong gave a rough explanation before softly commenting .

“Reincarnation stage?!”

The expressions of Liu Qing’s group changed when these words sounded . This was truly an extremely thorny situation to deal with . Although they were powerful individuals who had touched Reincarnation, they had yet to truly comprehend it . Hence, there was still a massive gap between them and a Reincarnation stage expert .

Additionally, this shattered space was extremely strange and it was exceedingly difficult for a Reincarnation stage expert to enter . Therefore, since that Sky Devouring Corpse possessed strength similar to a Reincarnation stage expert, this was a truly troubling matter .

“What should we do now?” Little Flame asked . The Devouring Divine Palace was right in front of them . Clearly, if they couldn’t even pass the first test, they should just forget about obtaining the inheritance of the Devouring Master .

“There is no need to rush . Let’s wait and see . ” Lin Dong smiled . The Sky Devouring Corpse standing in front of them was indeed formidable . However, there were many powerful individuals here . Therefore, there would definitely be an opening once a fight breaks out .

Everyone nodded upon hearing this as they suppressed the anxiety in their hearts .

Standing in the sky, elder Mu Di fled back to his Nine Phoenix tribe members in a miserable fashion . His face was pale while a hideous and bloody wound stretched from his shoulder to his abdomen . Blood continuously gushed forth and it was clear that he was badly wounded .

“First elder, are you alright?” Luo Tong and the other powerful individuals from the Nine Phoenix tribe were all a little startled . After all, they were well aware of Mu Di’s strength . However, he still landed in such a miserable state . What on earth was that mysterious black figure?

First elder Mu Di had a gloomy and pale expression . Gently shaking his head, he glanced at the person at his back . At the moment, the latter seemed to have fallen into deep thought and he did not say anything even after he saw Mu Di’s action .

With Mu Di as an example, the sky immediately become much quieter . Many powerful individuals simply stared at the black statue like figure, who was standing in front of the Devouring Divine Palace . However, no one dared to randomly barge in .

However, this silence evidently would not last for long . After all, there were very few people who could remain calm while being tempted by the inheritance of the Devouring Master . Therefore, after pondering for a while, some powerful individuals clenched their teeth and stepped forth .

However, these powerful individuals had evidently wised up and they did not charge forward recklessly . Instead, they slowly approached the Devouring Divine Palace . After probing a few times, they finally understood that the black figure would only intervene and expel anyone who was within a thousand feet radius of the Devouring Divine Palace .

With this discovery, some powerful practitioners immediately heaved a sigh of relief . It turns out this being ultimately followed certain rules .

Hovering in the sky, the members of the Kunpeng tribe were bunched up together . Kun Yuan was staring at the black figure while his eyes glimmered . Clearly, he was thinking of a solution .

“First elder Zhu Li, first elder Mu Di, brother Liu Qing, young friend Lin Dong, none of us are able to handle this situation on our own . How about we join forces and subdue this black figure together? What do you guys say?” Kun Yuan mused for a moment before he suddenly cried out loud .

Mu Di pondered for a moment after hearing this . Then, his eyes glanced towards his back . Finally, he nodded . He had personally witnessed how formidable this mysterious black figure was . Therefore, he knew that it was extremely difficult for him to get through this challenge on his own .

First elder Zhu Li exchanged glances with Liu Qing . After which, they turned to look at Lin Dong . That was because the latter was the only one who had some understanding of that mysterious black figure . Hence, it was best to listen to his opinion .

“Even if we join forces, it’s likely that we will be no match for that Sky Devouring Corpse . ” Lin Dong smiled . Although they had the advantage in terms of numbers, it was not going to be an easy task to deal with that Sky Devouring Corpse, which was comparable to a Reincarnation stage expert .

“However…”

Lin Dong stopped when he mentioned this point . Then, he softly continued, “Although we are unable to defeat the Sky Devouring Corpse even if we cooperate, it should create openings and we can take advantage of them to dash through . This Sky Devouring Corpse should be a checkpoint . Therefore, once we enter the Devouring Divine Palace, we should have passed . ”

The Liu Qing duo nodded . Clearly, Lin Dong was planning to take advantage of the others to spot an opening and dash into the Devouring Divine Palace .

“All of them likely have similar intentions . At that time, it will be decided by who has better eyesight . ” First elder Zhu Li said .

Lin Dong nodded . Kun Yuan and Mu Di were all old willy foxes . Therefore, how could they have missed this? In summary, they were all using each other .

“Haha, we can give first elder Kun Yuan’s suggestion a go . ” First elder Zhu Li smiled towards Mu Di and said, after he saw that Lin Dong had a plan .

The eyes of the top experts in the surrounding sky flickered when they saw that these few large factions were planning to cooperate . Although Mu Di did not invite them, no one would be concerned about this at this moment . At that time, they would act once they found an opening . After all, if they could enter the Devouring Divine Palace and obtain the Devouring Master’s inheritance, it was likely that even the four overlord tribes would become wary of them .

“In that case, let’s all attack together . ”

Kun Yuan laughed before he took a stride forward . Following which, vast and mighty ocean like Yuan Power surged around him . The Yuan Power permeated across the place, before startling ripples, that caused one’s heart to shudder, were emitted .

First elder Mu Di, first elder Zhu Li and Liu Qing also stepped forward upon seeing this . The auras of three top experts, who had touched Reincarnation, instantly gushed forth . Immediately, it seemed as though the space itself had trembled slightly .

Lin Dong smiled faintly upon seeing this . He lifted his feet and followed behind . His Yuan Power cultivation was merely at the advance Profound Death stage . This was considered ordinary in a place like this . However, no one here had the guts to underestimate him . After all, news of how Lin Dong managed to defeat the Luo Lie duo from the Dark Abyss Tiger tribe in a one on two fight, had already spread .

This lineup could cause anyone’s expression to turn grave . Four top-tier experts who had touched Reincarnation together with an initial Symbol Grandmaster . It was likely that they would even be able to match up to a genuine Reincarnation stage expert .

Nonetheless, even when up against such a lineup, the black figure standing in front of the Devouring Divine Palace was just like a rock, as he did not budge at all .

“Attack!”

Hovering in the sky, the five of them were staring intently at that black figure . In the next moment, all of them shot forth one after another . Their bodies flashed before they split into five different locations . Following which, sharp attacks mercilessly rained down on that black figure .  

Chi!

Monstrous Yuan Power swept forth . However, just as their attacks were about to land on that black figure, the latter suddenly took a step forward . Promptly, the black blade in his hand was accompanied by a cold glint as it penetrated the space . After which, a blade glow slashed across the place .

Their frightening attacks collapsed almost immediately . The attacks, which stemmed from Lin Dong’s group, were completely destroyed .

However, this was within their expectations . Immediately, Mu Di and the other four cried out in unison before they gripped their palms . Then, pillars of lights whisted shot forth and they were all filled with Reincarnation ripples .  

“Clang!”

Four light pillars heavily smashed against that black blade . After the four of them joined forces, they were actually able to block the attack from that Sky Devouring Corpse . However, the price paid was that groans were emitted from their throats, while their arms trembled continuously .

“Ancient Lightning Symbol!”

A glint flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes . A thought passed through his mind before thunder clouds gathered quickly in the sky . Suddenly, a huge lightning symbol exploded downwards and ruthlessly smashed onto the black figure .

Sizzle .

However, right after the lightning symbol touched the black figure, a black glow emerged and flowed on his body . Immediately, that black glow directly devoured and neutralized that attack .

When he saw this scene, Lin Dong was not shocked . After all, he also had a Sky Devouring Corpse . Hence, he naturally knew that this item also possessed Devouring Power and it could devour various attacks .

Swoosh swoosh!

Lin Dong’s attack was about to lose its effect when some rushing wind sound appeared from behind . Turning his head, he saw that many experts were swarming over in a locust like fashion . It turns out that the many experts behind him were no longer able to restrain themselves .

Instantly, more than a hundred men charged to the front of the Devouring Divine Palace . Following which, there seemed to be a dense black glow appearing deep within that Sky Devouring Corpse’s eyes .

As Lin Dong was quite close to the Sky Devouring Corpse, he managed to detect the change in the latter’s eyes . Immediately, a tinge of shock flashed across his eyes before he quickly flipped his palm . Then, the Mysterious Divine Palace appeared in a flash .

Sizzle!

That Sky Devouring Corpse released a low roar . Then, jerking his arm, the long black blade in his hand whistled forward . Immediately, the space behind him seemingly collapsed before a large black light swept forth .

Bang bang bang!

The black light seemingly tore through the space as it swept the entire place . Immediately, the defences of the many top experts who were charging over, were broken before blood spluttered across the sky . After which, many figures shot backwards in a miserable fashion while terrible cries sounded continuously .

Moreover, they were not the only ones affected . In fact, even first elder Zhu Li and the other three, which were the ones closest to the Sky Devouring Corpse, were forced back by over a thousand feet . Meanwhile, blood covered their hands .

Clang!

Lin Dong had a sharp wit and quick reflexes . When that black light came sweeping over, the Mysterious Divine Palace expanded and protected him . However, the Mysterious Divine Palace shrunk rapidly after the black light swept past, before it transformed into a slightly dimmed light ray and shot back into Lin Dong’s body . Clearly, it had taken some damage .

When the Mysterious Divine Palace returned into Lin Dong’s body, he did not have the luxury of time to be upset . Surveying his surroundings, he quickly realized that the black glow undulated on the Sky Devouring Corpse had dimmed . Clearly, the previous attack had also exhausted a significant amount of its strength .

“Now is the time . ” 

A glint flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes before he took a step forward . Then, his body shot forth like a lightning bolt as he rushed straight towards the Devouring Divine Palace .

However, the black glow undulated on the Sky Devouring Corpse surged right after Lin Dong charged past it . Surprisingly, the Sky Devouring Corpse did not turn around . Instead, he flipped his blade and hacked towards Lin Dong .

Lin Dong’s eyes were glimmering . Meanwhile, the space behind him was shattering as that blade glow flew towards him, causing the hair over his entire body to stand . Suddenly, he waved his hand .  

Plop .

A black glow flashed before a black figure appeared behind Lin Dong . Its appearance was exactly the same as that of the black figure . Clearly, that was the Sky Devouring Corpse in Lin Dong’s possession .

The terrifying blade glow came slashing downwards . However, a black glow flashed from deep within the eyes of the black figure just as the blade was about to hit the Sky Devouring Corpse that belonged to Lin Dong . After which, that blade glow suddenly changed direction and slid past the Sky Devouring Corpse from its right . After which, with a flash, that black figure headed straight towards Lin Dong .

The instant he used his Sky Devouring Corpse as an obstruction, Lin Dong had already dashed towards the Devouring Divine Palace . Promptly, he glanced with his peripheral vision and realized that the black figure was already behind him . After which, his frightening glowing blade was mercilessly slashing towards him .

There was nowhere to hide at this moment!

Lin Dong’s eyes were glimmering . Suddenly, he viciously clenched his teeth before he completely ignored that Sky Devouring Corpse . Stomping his foot violently on the ground, he shattered the rock surface before his body used the resulting momentum to charge forward .

Just a little bit more!

Lin Dong was staring at the Devouring Divine Palace’s stone stairs, which were now in close proximity to him . Then, with a low roar, his body shot forward before he directly stepped onto the flight of stairs .

Chi!

A cold glint cut Lin Dong’s scalp the instant his foot touched the stone stairs . However, that cold glint suddenly froze right after it touched his body .

The entire place was completely silent .

The current scene was extremely peculiar . Lin Dong’s foot had just landed on the edge of the stone stairs and he was using his toes to support his body . Meanwhile, the black figure behind him was holding onto a black blade and the sharp glow from that blade had already touched Lin Dong’s scalp . As long as he swung his blade down, it was likely that Lin Dong’s body would be split into two .

However, that figure did not swing his blade down . Instead, he merely maintained this stance . Finally, he slowly withdrew his blade, while cold sweat drenched the bodies of Little Marten’s group . Then, the figure completely ignored Lin Dong, who had managed to touch the stone stairs .

“He actually managed to charge through . ”

Little Marten’s group rejoiced upon seeing this scene . It seemed like as long as one stepped onto the stone stairs, it would be considered that one had passed this challenge . After which, that black figure would also proceed to ignore you .

“How close . ” Little Marten wiped the cold sweat off on his body . If Lin Dong was any slower, it was likely that the current situation would be completely different .

“This fellow…”

Liu Qing and first elder Zhu Li smiled upon seeing this . They did not expect Lin Dong to be one step ahead of them .

While the both of them smiled, first elder Mu Di’s expression was furiously green . Standing beside him, first elder Kun Yuan could only shake his head helplessly .

“Haha, I’ll be making a move first . ”

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Lin Dong turned around and addressed the crowd before he headed into the Devouring Divine Palace .

“Humph . ”

However, a soft snort resounded across the place right after Lin Dong was about to step forward . Suddenly, a figure from within the Nine Phoenix tribe’s group shot forth . His speed was incredibly frightening and it could not be described with words . In fact, the crowd could only see a ray of light flash by . Moreover, it was as though the space itself had became slightly distorted . After which, that figure had already appeared in front of the black figure .

That mysterious powerful individual in the Nine Phoenix tribe was finally about to make a move .
