However, Ling Chen’s move only caused the Demon Shadow to beco temporarily erratic, almost without affecting its aura.
"It didn’t work, did it?"
Ling Chen’s heart sank; he was uncertain about the effectiveness of the Divine Dragon Blood Array, as it was his first ti using it. If it couldn’t deliver results, things would surely get difficult.
"Die!"
From the chaotic eyes of the Demon Shadow, a piercing cold erged, hatred towards Ling Chen reaching its peak. Suddenly, a black Long Spear appeared in its hand, fiercely piercing towards Ling Chen.
Bang!
The Long Spear crashed onto the Divine Dragon Blood Array, but its force was largely dissipated. The array’s glow significantly dimd after the impact, clearly losing a considerable amount of power.
"It’s over!"
Ling Chen felt the power of the Divine Dragon Blood Array rapidly dwindling. Clearly not an opponent for the Demon Shadow, this made Ling Chen anxious. Unfortunately, he hadn’t mastered more advanced ways of controlling the array; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to fear this Demon Shadow.
Just as Ling Chen’s defense seed about to be breached, the aura around the Demon Shadow suddenly beca agitated. Light flickered within its eyes as if another consciousness was fighting for control of this Demon Shadow.
"Hmm?"
Ling Chen imdiately felt the pressure lessen. He wasn’t blind and quickly noticed the change in the Demon Shadow’s body; it seed a new consciousness wave had suddenly erged inside it. Could it be that the Saint managed to leave a shard of consciousness inside this body?
"Kid, you’re very lucky!"
Even the Human Emperor’s voice carried a hint of delight.
"Unexpectedly, this Saint left a thread of consciousness within its body. Initially suppressed entirely by demonic energy, but under the power of the Divine Dragon Jade, it seems to have broken free, trying to reclaim control of the body."
"So that’s how it is."
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. The opportunity ca sooner than anticipated. If he had to confront this Demon Shadow head-on, success seed impossible. But if a consciousness remained inside, there might just be a chance!
Forcing his True Qi to circulate, Ling Chen desperately activated the Divine Dragon Blood Array. At this mont, even holding on for another minute or just ten seconds could lead to a new turn of events.
Non-human screams voiced from the Demon Shadow’s mouth. After several breaths, the black gleam in its eyes seed to dim significantly. Following intense flickering, a touch of clarity finally erged.
"Senior!"
Ling Chen shouted as if clutching onto a lifeline. Without that shard of consciousness, he might be finished.
This shout of ’Senior’ also made that Demon Shadow’s eyes tremble, and monts later, its gaze brightened significantly, becoming sharp, "Kid, attack with everything you have now!"
"Alright!"
Ling Chen’s eyes sparked brilliantly. He fiercely activated the Ancient Saint King Battle Technique; his cultivation soared from the Sixth Layer of Sky Apex Realm to the Eighth Layer, pushing his combat strength to its limit.
"Light of the Divine Dragon!"
With a loud shout, Ling Chen pointed his finger in mid-air, and from the Divine Dragon Blood Array, brilliant blood light erged. Like sunlight, it rained down on the Demon Shadow.
Bang, bang, bang!
This ti, as the dazzling blood light landed on the Demon Shadow, it triggered chain explosions over its body, with white smoke rising, lting like snow and ice.
Roar, roar!
Amidst the intense bombardnts, the previously fierce Demon Shadow appeared to lose much of its montum, clearly under a significant damper.
"Slaughter!"
Pushing forward, Ling Chen himself was bolstered with morale. He took a deep breath, with his True Qi surging like tides, the Divine Dragon Blood Array started rotating, the imnse light suddenly enveloping the Demon Shadow.
Buzz!
As Ling Chen shouted, light burst forth from the array, then with a hiss, a bolt of energy slashed down like lightning, landing right on the Demon Shadow’s head.
A low rumble sounded as the massive power directly flowed from the head into the Demon Shadow’s body, quickly spreading throughout, cleansing it completely.
"Strike again!"
With icy resolve, Ling Chen’s mind shifted, the Divine Dragon Blood Array spun once more, and another bolt of lightning slashed down.
Although this lightning didn’t physically harm the Demon Shadow, its montum visibly waned under such repeated strikes. Its demonic aura had diminished greatly; with the Saint’s consciousness assisting in suppression, the impact was notable.
Ling Chen’s hand tensed fiercely, and his gaze hardened. Having nearly exhausted his strength after the relentless assault on the Demon Shadow, Ling Chen knew now was definitely not the ti for any relaxation. Right now was the crucial mont to determine the outco!
"Suppress for !"
With tension at its peak, Ling Chen injected his last ounce of power into the Divine Dragon Blood Array, simultaneously causing three bolts of lightning to descend, showcasing astonishing strength.
Reluctantly, a miserable scream resounded as thick black smoke rose from the Demon Shadow’s body. But as swiftly as this black smoke appeared, it dissipated, together with the eerie waves of energy... Ling Chen watched the scene, finally breathes a deep sigh of relief. His face slightly paled, as forcibly using the Divine Dragon Blood Array was a considerable drain under his current strength.
As he exhaled, Ling Chen’s gaze shifted towards the Demon Shadow before him, his eyes narrowing slightly. At this mont, all demonic patterns enveloping the Demon Shadow’s body had vanished; its eyes that once appeared dark had turned fiery red as if a sea of flas.
In his sight was a white-haired male. After purging all of the demonic energy, his aura contrasted vastly with before, a nearly complete transformation. His gaze was gentle, yet carried an indomitable resolve, explaining how he maintained a fragnt of consciousness despite long years. After all, he wasn’t the Human Emperor; with the cultivation of a Saint, such a powerful obsession was needed to achieve such a feat.
Simultaneously, a formidable, palpable wave emanated slowly from his body.
This wave was stronger than any of the cavemates Ling Chen had encountered.
This ancient Fire God Sect powerhouse seed, at last, to be returning to normal...
