Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens-Chapter 549 - 45 Devouring

"Hahaha, you’ve fallen into my Demon Banner Soul Array, no matter how strong you are, you’ll be lost within and unable to escape..."

Seeing the Blood Evil Asura Array fully activate, countless living souls continuously surged toward Zhang Xuan, covering the sky, and the Demon Lord laughed with satisfaction, his eyes filled with pride.

It looks like this guy is about to fall into his hands.

Once successful, the Eternal Heart, Xuanyuan War Chariot, First Level Destiny... any one of them could allow him to make another breakthrough, ultimately becoming a powerhouse comparable to Emperor Fusheng, truly standing at the pinnacle of the Source World.

"Your Highness, if the Demon Lord succeeds, we will have come here in vain..."

Su Ling’s expression was solemn.

"Let’s wait and see, I don’t believe this guy will be captured so easily!"

Prince Yuanqing shook his head.

Having fought with him many times, if a single Blood Evil Demon Banner could so easily capture and kill him, the Six Ministers would not have all died in vain.

"Don’t believe it? Then, Your Highness, just wait for my success..."

The Demon Lord laughed boldly and looked inside the Blood Evil Demon Banner.

The sea of blood raged, countless living souls like a pack of wolves encountering fresh meat, surged madly toward Zhang Xuan, who was unable to move and was completely submerged; in just half a breath, he was no longer visible.

"He should be powerless to fight back now..."

The Demon Lord nodded silently.

The living souls inside the Blood Evil Demon Banner are extremely complex to create; while alive, these people had to have their skins flayed and then be buried in the sand to be scorched to death. Thus, although these living souls lack self-consciousness, they possess extremely strong resentment.

With these resentments accumulating together, the entire sea of blood was like a sea piled up with grievances; not to mention Bodhisattva Realm experts, even if a Buddha suddenly encountered it, without exhibiting Buddha Light, it couldn’t be purified.

This Zhang Xuan evidently lacked purification power; relying on his own strength, he might be able to endure for a while, but with time passing, his soul will inevitably be corroded, ultimately losing self and trapped in self-doubt.

Therefore, for the Demon Lord, no movement is the best, as long as the opponent doesn’t resist, the frog in boiling water, in no time will have no chance to escape.

Unlike his contentment, at this moment, Zhang Xuan was quietly sitting inside the Xuanyuan War Chariot, leisurely eating a piece of pastry.

The earlier fight was too intense, and he couldn’t let his guard down for even a second; now was a perfect time to rest, recover some energy, and think of strategies.

As for the living souls charging in, the Suspended Realm opened a hole, and those guys would swarm in, ultimately transforming into the nourishing fertilizer of the world.

"I didn’t think these living souls greatly enhance soul energy..."

Zhang Xuan’s eyes slowly brightened.

Previously, his soul had just lit the seventh Life Lamp, the light was still somewhat dim, not too bright, but as the Suspended Realm forged more soul energy, it turned increasingly brilliant.

In other words, his soul was devouring these living souls, becoming stronger!

Once strong enough to light the eighth Life Lamp, relying on the power of the soul alone might allow him to kill the Demon Lord or the Buddha.

"Demon Lord, you truly are a good person..."

Feeling the slow increase in soul energy, Zhang Xuan reclined on the chair and smiled.

Just worried about how to progress, the opponent conveniently provided the opportunity; isn’t that being a good person?

"Wait, why do I feel the power of the Blood Evil Demon Banner is continuously decreasing?"

At this moment, a low shout from the Buddha rang out.

Having fought the Demon Lord all his life, he knew the power of the opponent’s celestial treasure extremely well. Logically, the living souls attacking Zhang Xuan and assimilating him would enhance the Blood Evil Demon Banner’s strength, but now it felt the opposite as though the power was continuously leaking, like floodwater out of a reservoir.

"Decreasing?"

Startled, the Demon Lord carefully sensed, he indeed discovered something amiss, his face immediately turned pale: "Zhang Xuan, you damn brat, quietly forging my living souls, I’ll never forgive you..."

"Hahaha, sorry, you caught me!"

Realizing he couldn’t hide anymore, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly, his five fingers suspended in the air, suddenly grabbed toward the surrounding living souls.

Unnoticed, he could slowly devour and rest, treating it as a lull in battle. Once discovered, naturally, he couldn’t keep waiting and had to expedite devouring. Otherwise, if the opponent retrieves the Blood Evil Demon Banner, these living souls would be out of reach for him.

Boom!

Along with Zhang Xuan’s hand stretching out, the surrounding sky seemed to immediately collapse, producing a huge depression, and tens of thousands of living souls fell into it unable to free themselves, transforming into his nourishment for progress.

"Damn it, damn it... Quickly help me retrieve the Blood Evil Demon Banner, or if he devours all these living souls, he will surely advance further!"

Shaking the Blood Evil Demon Banner, realizing it was suppressed by Zhang Xuan’s formidable strength, the Demon Lord could no longer afford idle talk, shouting out.

Losing this precious treasure and still prioritizing killing the opponent, he knew he had to make a sacrifice.

"Alright!"

The Buddha also knew that if Zhang Xuan broke through again, he might fall here, so without speaking further, he launched another Buddha Beads.

Eight-one planet-sized Buddha Beads, wielding destructive power, pressed forth.

"These Buddha Beads are no weaker than the Reincarnation Relic Tower. If I could forge them, perhaps they’d help me forge the seventh Relic, gaining even stronger combat prowess!"

Zhang Xuan had an idea emerge.

Previously facing this celestial treasure, he could only dodge. Now with his soul having advanced again and being within the Blood Evil Demon Banner, having this celestial treasure as final reliance, he truly could try.

With this thought, without hesitation, ten fingers suspended, he reached for one of the Buddha Beads, and simultaneously, the vortex devouring in the Suspended Realm grew larger.

If it were in the Source World, he absolutely wouldn’t dare to let the Suspended Realm do this, because it might attract the punishment from Heaven, leaving him wishing for death.

But here in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, aided by the Array of All Heavens separating power, even if Heaven wanted to peek, it was very difficult, let alone punish.

In that case, let the Suspended Realm devour these Buddha Beads first!

As the vortex grew larger, the Buddha Bead could no longer withstand and fell with a thunderous crash, within a fraction of a breath’s time, it vanished completely.

"Damn, he’s forging my celestial treasure!"

Pupils constricted, the Buddha tightened his fist.

This is his most powerful celestial treasure, yet it couldn’t even withstand half a breath; how exactly did the opponent accomplish this?

Tensely, his five fingers suddenly raised, grabbing toward the Blood Evil Demon Banner.

His palm seemed to descend like a sky screen spanning hundreds of miles, with no end in sight.

Buddhist Law boundless.

With one palm out, the world was engulfed.

"Having been devoured, still want to seize it? It’s not that easy..."

Having devoured a Buddha Bead, Zhang Xuan immediately tasted sweetness; how could he let go of meat in his mouth, smiling softly, he immediately punched out.
