A year and a half later, disaster struck the underground labyrinth again, and several exploration teams were wiped out, with no one able to escape.
Yuan Tianshi sent out Earth Realm experts to investigate, but they found no trace of demons.
Go find Lin Yixuan to find out what's going on. Lin Yixuan isn't very familiar with what's been happening in the underground labyrinth lately either.
Lin Yixuan guessed that another powerful Dark Temple Heavenly King might appear in the underground labyrinth, and that there was a very cunning Heavenly King among them.
This Heavenly King is called the Devouring Heavenly King, and his favorite thing to do is to absorb other people's Dao and cultivation.
Other Heavenly Kings and Divine Generals each have their own Great Dao and do not specifically devour the Great Dao and cultivation of others.
This Devouring Heavenly King is an anomaly, born to devour the Dao and cultivation of others.
It is said that the Devouring King's true form is a Kunpeng, capable of devouring everything and making it his own.
Later, the Devouring King was valued by the Dark Emperor and joined the Dark Temple as a member.
With the Dark Temple as his backer, the Devouring King had no worries about what he was doing.
The Devouring King hunted down geniuses and powerful figures in the ancient northern region, and few of those he targeted survived.
Those targeted had their cultivation and Dao completely consumed by the Devouring Heavenly King.
The Devouring Heavenly King has set his sights on the Lin family's strongest member, the Lin family's goddess, intending to devour her and allow her to break through to the Heavenly One Realm.
The goddess of the Lin family was no less powerful than the Devouring Heavenly King. After the two fought, the Devouring Heavenly King did not gain any advantage.
Seeing that he could not subdue the goddess of the Lin family, the Devouring Heavenly King had no choice but to retreat helplessly.
But the Devouring Heavenly King did not give up and launched several sneak attacks on the Lin family goddess.
The goddess of the Lin family no longer held back and decided to join forces with the powerful members of the four great families to besiege and kill the Devouring Heavenly King.
At that time, the four great human families had a good relationship with the Dark Temple, and the Devouring King was a hated figure in the Dark Temple.
The Devouring King acts without regard for rules; once he sets his sights on someone, no amount of pleading will help.
With powerful figures from the Dark Temple helping to cover it up, even if the Dark Emperor knew about it, he wouldn't say anything.
Moreover, the Dark Emperor was already overwhelmed with the arrival of powerful beings from other realms, so he had no time to deal with the Devouring Heavenly King.
The goddess of the Lin family joined forces with more than a dozen Earthly Realm experts to besiege and kill the Devouring Heavenly King.
Unexpectedly, the Devouring Heavenly King's life force was so strong that he survived being besieged by so many Earthly Realm experts.
The Devouring King was severely injured and fled to the Dark Temple, but his injuries were too severe, so he was buried beneath the Dark Temple.
The other two Heavenly Kings have already fallen, and the one buried in the underground labyrinth can only be this one.
You're not too worried about this, thinking that even if the Devouring Heavenly King wants to cause trouble, he'll go after the Source Celestial Master, and it won't have much to do with you.
While Master Yuan was dealing with the underground labyrinth, you visited the ancient god clan.
Gu Ruyan is quite capable; she has already launched a counterattack against two ancient clans and even fought against the Demon Moon Ancestor.
The Demon Moon Ancestor's body was now complete, and his strength had been largely restored, yet he was still no match for Gu Ruyan in ten moves.
If it weren't for the Demon Moon Ancestor's secret technique to escape, he might have already died at Gu Ruyan's hands.
When Gu Ruyan saw you coming, she asked you how to deal with the ancient demons and the ancient monsters.
You mean these two races have no reason to exist? The ancient demons and ancient monsters have surrendered now, but there's a high chance they'll betray you in the future.
Gu Ruyan felt somewhat reluctant earlier, but after hearing your opinion, she fully agrees.
Two years later, Master Yuan stopped everyone from going down, because the Devouring King only devoured and did not come out of the maze.
Five Earth Realm experts were sent into the underground labyrinth, but none of them were able to find the Devouring Heavenly King.
The Devouring King and the Light King have opposite personalities. The Light King does everything openly and honestly and doesn't like to play tricks.
The Devouring King's favorite thing to do is to scheme against people, just like a terrifying venomous snake.
Zhang Wendao wanted to negotiate with the Devouring Heavenly King and did not want to use force against him.
The meaning of the Devouring King is quite clear: provide enough flesh and blood to devour.
The condition is that there are three experts at the Earthly Realm level, one of whom must have a cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Earthly Realm.
There were also more than a dozen Xuan Tian Realm experts and dozens of Huang Tian Realm experts who helped him recover from the Devouring Heavenly King.
Such an excessive request was naturally not agreed to by Master Yuan.
Master Yuan gave him half a day to leave immediately and not pursue the matter of the Devouring Heavenly King's people.
Otherwise, it's no wonder Zhang Wendao was impolite; the Devouring Heavenly King showed no intention of compromising and continued to do as he pleased.
Even with his deep cunning, Zhang Wendao couldn't withstand the provocation from the Devouring Heavenly King.
The aura of the entire Tianyuan tribe changed, and Zhang Wendao's aura continued to rise, briefly reaching the Tianyi Realm.
He immediately rushed into the underground labyrinth to capture the Devouring King.
Half an incense stick later, Zhang Wendao successfully captured the Devouring Heavenly King.
The once arrogant Devouring King was captured and brought back by Zhang Wendao like a chick.
Three years later, after that incident, the underground labyrinth returned to normal.
The powerful figures of the Dark Temple have likely been wiped out, and the escaped King of Light has not returned.
You learned from Lin Yixuan that the King of Light and the King of Devouring Heaven have always been at odds.
To be precise, the King of Light was at odds not only with the Devouring King, but also with many people from the Dark Temple.
King Guangming believed that one should act openly and honestly, and if one wanted to kill someone, one should defeat and kill them head-on, instead of resorting to schemes and tricks.
However, the King of Light disliked the Devouring King the most, believing that this guy was trash who had been disposed of long ago.
Everyone possesses their own Great Dao, but the Devouring Heavenly King cultivates using the Great Daos of others.
Mei Qi said that this is a collection of the strengths of many schools of thought.
King Guangming's sense of justice was so strong that he became an outlier.
Lin Yixuan told you a short story: The King of Light encountered a strong person bullying a weak person.
The weak begged the King of Light for help, which frightened the strong so much that he dared not make a move.
King Guangming stated that he was merely passing by and would not concern himself with such matters.
This powerful figure was unaware of the identity of the King of Light and believed his words.
After all, the King of Light is powerful enough that he could easily kill me if he wanted to interfere.
However, after the strong killed the weak, the King of Light killed the strong one.
Lin Yixuan's explanation was that the strong kill the weak, and the King of Light thought this was normal, as the law of the jungle is the first law of the cultivation world.
In his quest to become stronger, the King of Light also killed many weaklings.
But when the weak ask him for help, the King of Light feels bad about it.
After the strong kill the weak, the King of Light will kill the strong, which can be considered a reasonable response to the weak.
The King of Light's most insane idea was to massacre the entire Dark Temple.
He felt that the Dark Temple was a den of iniquity and needed to be thoroughly cleansed.
Later, King of Light was injured and buried beneath the Dark Temple.
The person who made the move is likely one of the other three Heavenly Kings of the Dark Temple, including the Devouring Heavenly King.
