The furious White Eyed True Devil took a deep breath. Suddenly, an enormous suction force tried to pull Li Lingjing's face towards its head in an attempt to consume her.
However, it did not go smoothly.
Li Lingjing's face had grown stronger after consuming the third Blood Coffin Carrier. As such, she was able to resist much harder than the two faces the White Eyed True Devil had consumed earlier. Li Lingjing's face wavered around the White Eyed True Devil's chest, struggling against it.
This made the White Eyed True Devil feel even more frustrated. This development was completely out of its expectations. All the Blood Coffin Carriers were supposed to be sacrificed to him. Why was this last one resisting?
"Puny ant. You may be an odd one, but do you seriously think you can eat that which does not belong to you?"
The White Eyed True Devil gave off a cold gaze that emanated a terrifying pressure. At the same time, countless strange whispers came out of its throat like a curse.
Li Lingjing's open eyes flickered under its influence, as if she was getting corrupted. Her eyes were gradually closing.
After which, her visage began to move up along the White Eyed True Devil’s body.
After quas.h.i.+ng Li Lingjing's attempts to resist, the fingers of the White Eyed True Devil suddenly fell off. They flew along with the wind and expanded rapidly into giant pillars in the sky.
The ten white pillars stood perfectly in a line like a giant gate.
The two-headed dragon charged towards the gate with overflowing energy. It opened its maws, and two streams of dragonbreath gushed out.
One was black as ink like the cold Underworld River water.
The other was a brilliant silver with lightning sparkling over its surface.
Bang!
As soon as the two torrents of dragonbreath clashed with the gate formed by the ten fingers, a deep rut was left on it. However, this gate was extraordinary. Cold wax oil continuously flowed down and repaired the damage.
Nonetheless, the Twin Banner Fusion from Li Luo was also nothing to scoff at. When the dragonbreath didn't work, the two-headed dragon charged towards the gate. It swiped with its sharp claws and directly left a torn rift in their wake.
Bang!
The attack was vicious. In just a few swipes, the giant gate was torn into pieces.
The two-headed dragon flew through the gap in the broken gate as a result.
Suddenly, Li Luo's eyes narrowed when he saw what was happening.
Li Lingjing’s face was being controlled by the White Eyed True Devil. It appeared to overlap with its own face, and its facial features were wriggling violently, as if she was being a.s.similated.
The swallowing process was not as smooth as earlier. As its facial features changed, some faint traces that resembled Li Lingjing could be spotted from time to time.
Nonetheless, Li Luo could still sense that the corruption bursting out of the White Eyed True Devil was increasing at an alarming rate.
Murderous intent whelmed up in his eyes. “d.a.m.ned White Eyed True Devil! It has begun consuming Cousin Lingjing. I have to finish it off quickly in order to give her a chance of survival.”
With that in mind, Li Luo placed his hands together. Immense resonant power surged up and flowed into the two-headed dragon.
Roar!
The dragon let out a raging cry. Immense amounts of energy were condensing within its maws. It eventually took the form of two pearls that were a few feet wide.
One of them was as black as ink, containing the black river water within it. It was filled with energy that chilled anyone who even so much as looked at it.
The other was blindingly bright. Wild lightning raged within that orb, capable of smiting everything.
At this point, the enormous body of the two-headed dragon started shrinking rapidly. At the same time, the energy coming from the two pearls strengthened. The undulations of energy emanating from it had reached an astonis.h.i.+ng level.
Then the dragon opened its maws ferociously. The pearls blasted forward like a flash of lightning. They zoomed forward like two comets chasing after one another, heading straight towards the White Eyed True Devil in the distance. The powerful pearls grew larger and larger in the White Eyed True Devil's eyes. Its face continued to wriggle vigorously. After a while, the wriggling finally began to calm down.
A vicious and cold smile appeared on its face.
Boom!
The two pearls exploded upon arrival. A terrifying energy storm swept up and engulfed the White Eyed True Devil directly.
Heaven and earth appeared to shudder from the explosion.
Many of the students’ faces changed at this point. Judging from the energy pulses, that move would’ve likely spelled death even for second-grade Dukes.
Surely the White Eyed True Devil was finally slain this time, right?
The energy storm continued for a few moments before it gradually subsided.
Everyone looked over at the debris and its aftermath. The body of the White Eyed True Devil had completely disappeared. However, there was a torn and embattled visage floating in the air.
There was a creepy and cold smile that remained.
Countless pieces of white debris lingered in the air as well.
The battlefield fell into complete silence.
Everyone stared at the torn face without making a single noise. Had the White Eyed True Devil been critically injured?
However, Li Luo did not show any signs of ease on his face. In contrast, his eyes grew more serious.
He could sense that the White Eyed True Devil was still present in the surroundings.
"Hehe."
Spine-tingling laughter came from the ruined face. "Absolutely amazing. I had thought that everything was under my control. Who would have expected things to end up like this? This has truly been a miscalculation on my part."
At this point, the white debris in the air began to wriggle. With shocking speed, everyone stared in disbelief as each shred turned into a humanoid figure. Each and every one possessed no facial features.
Then all of these faceless figures began to walk towards the torn face and were absorbed into it. In the end, the remnants of the face started expanding. In just a few moments, it turned back into a completely unharmed White Eyed True Devil.
When the students witnessed this, an overwhelming sense of helplessness flooded their hearts. This True Devil was incredibly tenacious. Even a devastating attack from Li Luo was unable to slay it.
It seemed like even a second-grade Duke would be forced into a bitter struggle against such a creature.
"You must have reached the limits of your strength, right? In that case, I will be adding your skin to my collection today." The White Eyed True Devil laughed.
Both sides had revealed their aces in this battle. Unfortunately, Li Luo had fallen a little short.
When it finished speaking, endless amounts of corruption surged up within its body. One could tell from the energy pulses that it was now as strong as a third-grade Duke.
Clearly, it must have completely consumed Li Lingjing's face.
The students’ faces fell into despair when they felt the terrifying pressure.
Jiang Qing'e firmly grasped her sword, and her golden eyes turned cold. If things took a turn for the worse, she was prepared to step up.
However, the White Eyed True Devil did not pay any attention to them. Its eyes were firmly fixed on Li Luo. He was the only threat in this battlefield.
Fortunately, it seemed like Li Luo was at the end of his wits now.
The White Eyed True Devil laughed out lightly. At the next moment,its body started melting at an alarming rate. White wax oil fell onto the ground, and every drop turned into a surging torrent.
In just a few moments, the White Eyed True Devil's body had completely melted. Only a pair of white eyes that quietly stayed afloat remained. It was a truly chilling sight.
The white eyes then began to rotate, and the endless white sea was absorbed into them.
With every drop that entered the eyes, they seemed to gain another mysterious power. It seemed to be a power that was above the heavens.
The worldly natural energy in the vicinity seemed to have come to a standstill.
Even Li Luo felt a chill run up his spine. He felt like the eyes were directly connected to the All-Beings Devil King. It was as if that terrifying presence was looking straight at him.
The Devil King's Eye! With just a single gaze, Li Luo almost collapsed onto the ground.
However, Li Luo was able to fortify his mental will and resist the influence of corruption when he closed his eyes. He could sense Jiang Qing'e looking over at him. If he could not handle the situation, she would rush up regardless of how dangerous it was.
This was something that Li Luo did not want to see ever again.
In that case...
"Let's give it a try...
"Is your Devil King's Eye stronger? Or is my Embryonic Transcendent Duke Art superior?" Li Luo thought to himself.
At the same moment, an endless galaxy of sword energy rose up above his head, and an ancient sword formation appeared in the sky above him.
Both sides were now wielding their final aces.
It was time for the mobilization mission to conclude!
