Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Subtle Changes

The shattered Dragon Clan realm now seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Feng Wuchen, and anyone could feel the towering rage and suffocating fierce killing intent emanating from him. Such icy, iron-blooded aura was not something ordinary people could withstand.

But now, with Ling Xiaoxiao controlled by the Devil Monarch, used as a threat, and Feng Wuchen lacking the power to face the Devil Monarch, how much pain must he bear?

To see one’s beloved threatened with death and to be powerless to help, that kind of heart-wrenching pain is more terrifying than suffering the torments of the eighteenth level of hell.

“Your patience is not unlimited! Once I kill your beloved, I can still use your parents to threaten you, yet you can do nothing against me. You better not do something you’ll regret,” the Devil Monarch said, an evil smile on his face and a cold gaze on Feng Wuchen, as if he would not hesitate to kill Ling Xiaoxiao the moment Feng Wuchen failed to disclose the location of the Primordial Ancient power.

Feng Wuchen’s anger had already exceeded his limit of endurance.

“That’s right! Anger is good! Let your rage surge and awaken the power of the Divine Clan!” the Devil Monarch secretly thought, deliberately provoking Feng Wuchen.

“Do you see? With just a light touch, I can turn this little girl to dust,” the Devil Monarch continued with a sinister smile.

As soon as the Devil Monarch finished speaking, the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower appeared in front of Feng Wuchen, emitting a faint golden glow as it hovered.

“The wise adapt, it seems you’ve thought it over, your decision is the right one,” the Devil Monarch said with delight.

“Feng Brother! You can’t agree to him, if he gets the Primordial Ancient power, then no one will be able to stop him,” Ling Xiaoxiao urgently said. Though scared, she would rather die than let the Devil Monarch obtain the Primordial Ancient power.

Everyone understood Ling Xiaoxiao’s words, but Feng Wuchen would never do such a thing, never letting Ling Xiaoxiao be in danger, and certainly not standing by without attempting to save her.

But between the Primordial Ancient power and Ling Xiaoxiao, Feng Wuchen would choose Ling Xiaoxiao without hesitation, even in a fit of rage, he would maintain a trace of clarity.

“The power of desolation is on the second level of the Qiankun Tower,” Feng Wuchen uttered each word forcefully, suppressing his towering rage.

“Deserving of being Ling Xuzi’s Divine Artifact, who could have imagined the power of desolation was hidden within a Divine Artifact. Feng Wuchen, lead me inside,” the Devil Monarch said with a light smile.

With a thought, Feng Wuchen led the Devil Monarch into the second level space of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

“Oh? There is such strong and pure Primordial Ancient Spirit Qi in this space, indeed impressive,” the Devil Monarch exclaimed, his gaze curiously scanning the surroundings.

“The power of desolation is indeed here, and this young girl, I’ll return her to you,” as soon as they arrived on the second level, the Devil Monarch sensed the aura of the power of desolation.

With those words, the Devil Monarch gently waved his hand, sending Ling Xiaoxiao flying towards Feng Wuchen, then he forcefully absorbed the power of desolation hidden within the Wuji Illusionary Realm.

Others might not sense the existence of the power of desolation, but the Devil Monarch was different; he could clearly feel the aura of the power of desolation.

Before the terrifying power of the Devil Monarch, the power of desolation had no resistance, just like the other Primordial Ancient powers, and could only be absorbed.

“Xiao Xiao!” Feng Wuchen immediately flashed over, as if terrified that the Devil Monarch would change his mind.

“Feng Brother, you must not let the Devil Monarch succeed! Stop him quickly!” Ling Xiaoxiao urged, immediately launching an attack at the Devil Monarch.

Ling Xiaoxiao was very aware that once the Devil Monarch gathered ten Primordial Ancient powers, it was highly probable that he would step into the True God Realm, and by then, no one would be able to confront him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Devil Monarch had not yet broken through to the True God Realm, there was still a glimmer of hope to confront him, Ling Xiaoxiao would not let the Devil Monarch have his way.

But could Ling Xiaoxiao really stop the Devil Monarch?

The Devil Monarch possessed overwhelming power and was determined to obtain the Primordial Ancient power at all costs, unstoppable.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Hummm!”

Terrifying palm imprints streak through the air one after another, fiercely bombarding an invisible wall of energy. Explosions resound incessantly, but to no avail–there isn’t the slightest harm or impact on the Devil Monarch.

“Stop wasting your energy. With the strength of a little girl like you, you can’t possibly stop this Devil Monarch!” the Devil Monarch sneered with a sinister laugh, soon successfully absorbing all of the desolation power.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s effort to stop him was utterly useless.

The Devil Monarch had already gathered nine primordial powers; he was only missing the supreme power.

Once the Devil Monarch collected ten primordial powers, if the legends are true, he could give rise to a new terrifying power–an existence that would transcend the primordial powers.

And by then, due to the emergence of this new power, the Devil Monarch will likely break through to the True God Realm with ease!

No one can halt the Devil Monarch’s advance.

“Feng brother, what do we do? We simply can’t stop him,” Ling Xiaoxiao asked anxiously, her icy gaze ferociously fixed on the Devil Monarch.

“Go!” Feng Wuchen immediately took Ling Xiaoxiao with him and left the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.

“This Ling Xiaoxiao is also a descendant of the Divine Clan, what a pity she hasn’t awakened the Divine Power of the Divine Clan,” the Devil Monarch murmured to himself after Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao left.

“Anger can stimulate any latent potential in the human body. No matter how deeply Divine Power is hidden, it will awaken one day,” the Devil Monarch chuckled evilly, seeming not in the least bit worried.

“Qiankun Tower! Trap him!” Feng Wuchen transmitted his voice.

“No use! We can’t trap him! His power…” the strained voice of the Qiankun Tower came through.

“Boom!”

Before the Qiankun Tower could finish speaking, the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower suddenly exploded with a roar. A horrific power swept wildly forth, and the figure of the Devil Monarch slowly floated out. Not even the Divine Artifact could contain the Devil Monarch.

In the face of absolute power, all tricks and strategies are mere decorations.

“The aura of the Devil Monarch has risen again!” Long Tianzhan stated grimly, not needing to guess that the Devil Monarch had absorbed the desolation power.

The horror of the Devil Monarch is deeply etched into everyone’s hearts, unforgettable for a lifetime.

“Feng Wuchen, you are no longer of any value, just useless trash,” the Devil Monarch’s chilling gaze swept towards Feng Wuchen and the others as he sneered sinisterly.

“Blood Demon, eliminate the Dragon God Palace in three days, spare no one,” the Devil Monarch coldly commanded.

“As you command, Lord Devil Monarch!” the Blood Demon respectfully obeyed.

With these words from the Devil Monarch, everyone’s face changed at once, and despair descended!

“Enjoy your last moments, savor the taste of fear and despair, hahaha!” The Devil Monarch laughed arrogantly and uncontrollably, laughing with unbridled glee.

“As long as I live! I will never forgive you!” Clenching his fists so tightly that his fingernails dug into the flesh, Feng Wuchen spat through gritted teeth, his eyes blood-red and filled with a murderous bloodlust.

Feng Wuchen’s eyes had completely changed, and his aura was beginning to transform.

Engulfed in fury, Feng Wuchen began to experience some subtle changes within his body.

An ancient aura that had been dormant for a long time seemed to be awakening.
