Li Ze deliberately chose to run through areas with lots of rocks and trees, sometimes twisting into a knot or forming a ball along the way, weaving through crevices between rocks and rolling across dense grass...
With its ever-changing form and stylish movements, it managed to run for more than an hour, despite being chased by two Foundation Establishment demon soldiers. Just when it was about to reach the human-demon battlefield, it was blocked by the two demon soldiers.
Li Ze transformed into a small, misty beast, huddled under a rock, trembling.
"Damn it, this thing can really run fast!" the demon soldier cursed, panting.
"The faster it can run, the more extraordinary it must be. I can't wait to find out what it is." Another demon soldier cautiously approached. "Tsk, look at this little thing trembling, it's kind of pitiful."
"Be careful, they might be the kind of person who's pretending to be weak to take advantage of others."
Two demon soldiers slowly approached, three meters, two meters, one meter, then they attacked!
Two sharp mental blades pierced straight into the consciousness of the two demonic soldiers, penetrating and strangling them!
In the blink of an eye, the demon soldier who was once so confident of victory and beaming with joy was now lying on the ground, his face contorted and ferocious, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and lifeless.
Without taking a break, Li Ze grabbed the storage bags from the waists of the two demon soldiers and sped off into the distance once more.
Before even approaching the battlefield between humans and demons, he unleashed a powerful suction force, drawing in all the surrounding malevolent energy and channeling it into his demonic horn.
More than two months have passed. He absorbed the blood and evil energy from the evil artifact, his body became more solid, his energy increased, and his eating speed also increased.
If two months ago he could only eat one bowl at a time, now he can eat a whole basin at a time. And with his demonic horn, he can even directly 'digest' this evil energy, simply by pouring it into his demonic horn.
While frantically absorbing the evil energy, Li Ze kept an eye on the direction of the Demon Realm. If there was any movement there, he would immediately flee.
This time, he probably won't be back for a long time. Before he leaves, he wants to cleanse the place of all its malevolent energy.
After all, there are very few places in the entire cultivation world with such a high concentration of malevolent energy. Especially since a great battle had just taken place here, the intense malevolent energy made it impossible for him to take a step.
At this moment, there were no cultivators or demon soldiers within a radius of several miles, so no one noticed the human-demon battlefield that should have been silent. At this moment, thick fog churned, and wisps of malevolent energy gathered from all directions, entering a small and exquisite pointed corner.
Li Ze was lucky. A day and a night passed, and the place remained quiet. There was no movement from the Demon Realm either. Ji Lin probably hadn't returned to the palace, so she didn't know that the Demon Horn had been taken away.
After a day and a night of frantic absorption, the baleful aura of the human-demon battlefield has become very faint. It would likely take more than a decade, or perhaps another great war, for it to become dense again.
The aftereffects of the binge eating soon became apparent. A stinging sensation came from his mind, along with a heavy weariness. Li Ze wished he could just pass out right then and there and sleep for ten days or half a month.
However, he couldn't sleep; he had to leave this place first. Only by running far away could Ji Lin not find him.
Li Ze shrank his body and ran into the depths of the Endless Mountains.
The Endless Mountains are home to cultivators, demonic beasts, and ordinary wild animals. You can even encounter ordinary people gathering firewood and hunting in the mountains on the edge of the mountains.
Once Li Ze entered the Endless Mountains, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean; he quickly disappeared without a trace.
He ran through the endless mountains for two days, and after confirming that he had run far enough, he crawled into a narrow cave and instantly fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Ji Lin, who had just left the palace, had just returned. As soon as he entered the palace gates, he sensed something was wrong: "The concentration of malevolent energy has decreased."
Why such a big change in just two days?
Ji Lin instinctively assumed that someone had stolen his precious sword. However, the palace was full of restrictions, and even if Ji Chuan and Ji Shuo came, they would not be able to steal his sword without disturbing the restrictions.
He would notice if the restriction was activated.
If it's not Ji Shuo or Ji Chuan, then who is it? A human cultivator?
Ji Lin flashed and arrived at the side hall door. The restrictions on the door were still there, as if no one had touched them. However, the bloodthirsty aura in the room was gone.
Ji Lin's heart sank, and a surge of murderous intent erupted from him, causing him to force the door open.
With a loud crash, the door slammed against the walls on both sides.
Ji Lin's gaze swept towards the center of the side hall, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a rare look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face.
His knife is still there!
Ji Lin walked towards the barrier, picked up the greatsword, and channeled magic power into it. The next moment, the blade shone brightly, and a chilling aura instantly filled the entire room.
It was still the same knife; it hadn't been lost or switched, but the heavy aura of bloodlust on the blade was gone.
Ji Lin threw the sword back into the barrier once more.
Is he just overthinking it?
After leaving the side hall, Ji Lin went to the main hall. Everything seemed normal inside until he noticed the array in the corner. There should have been a black demonic horn there, but it was empty.
Someone has indeed been here!
Ji Lin thought of the suddenly thickened and then thinned evil aura in the palace, the blood evil that disappeared from the blade, and the vanished demon horn. A face of exquisite beauty appeared in her mind.
Could it be that Demon Eater?
Aside from that demon-devouring monster, he had never seen another person who could control demonic energy.
But wasn't that demon-devouring creature slammed into a spacetime rift by him? How come he didn't die?
Ji Lin hurriedly left the palace and flew towards the battlefield between humans and demons.
On the way, he saw the two demon soldiers whose faces were twisted and contorted in agony. With just one glance, he determined that they had died because their consciousness had been attacked.
Ji Lin did not linger and continued flying towards the Human-Demon Battlefield. The moment he arrived at the Human-Demon Battlefield, he became even more certain of his guess.
The demon that devours evil spirits has returned.
But so what?
Ji Lin sneered. A hundred years ago, he couldn't beat him, and a hundred years later, he's even less of a match for him! What's more, he still has the treasured sword in his hand. Even if that demon-devouring monster is given a thousand or ten thousand years, he can still kill it with ease.
The next Demon God of the Demon Realm can only be Ji Lin!
Cultivation knows no time. When Li Ze awoke again, the Endless Mountains had already transitioned from summer to winter, and the entire Endless Mountains were covered in snow.
Despite not having a physical body, Li Ze shivered as if he were feeling a chilling aura.
He's actually afraid of the cold!
Li Ze was somewhat surprised; this fear of the cold was neither typical of demons nor cultivators.
How could a cultivator be afraid of mere cold?
Li Ze floated from the cave to the ground, and then quickly darted back into the cave.
Oh well, if he's afraid of the cold, so be it. He can just wait until spring to leave.
Back in the cave, Li Ze realized that half a year had passed and his body had become even more solid, almost solidifying from a misty state.
During the past six months, although he was sleeping, he was also refining the evil energy he had absorbed. Now, the evil energy within the demon horn has been completely refined by him.
With enough malevolent energy and demonic horns, perhaps he can try to condense his physical body.
