Chapter 1224 A Gift From The Devil

As Hongyue's voice fell, a red cut appeared before Mo Ke's shadow, causing him to retreat rapidly.

Hongyue's red figure slowly appeared before Yun Lintian. Her scarlet eyes stared at Mo Ke in the distance coldly.

Mo Ke reverted back to his human form. A surprise appeared on his face as he saw Hongyue. He didn't expect her strength to recover this fast.

Suddenly, he saw some water droplets on her illusory figure, and his eyes immediately widened. "Soul Liquid… No, this quality… How could you have it?"

It was at this moment did he understand how Hongyue recovered her strength. Without hesitation, he turned into a shadow and disappeared from the place. He wasn't her opponent before. Let alone the current him. Why would he stay here further?

"Want to run?" Hongyue curled her lips as red light radiated from her body.

She stretched her hand out, and a beam of red light exploded from it, piercing through space and landing on Mo Ke.

"Arghhh!" Mo Ke's painful scream echoed throughout the entire dark space. His shadowy figure swayed fiercely as if it was about to disappear from the world.

However, Hongyue didn't seem to look at it. She glanced at the distance on her left side and raised her palm, making a grasping gesture.

Immediately, the space in that location distorted violently, and another Mo Ke appeared out of thin air with red light wrapping around him.

His face was ghastly pale as he glared at Hongyue. "You… How did you know?"

That was right. The Mo Ke earlier was a decoy he made up in case Hongyue appeared like this. Meanwhile, his true self lurked in the darkness, awaiting the right opportunity to take Yun Lintian down.

It wasn't that he had underestimated Hongyue, but his devil concealment was one of the most powerful concealing techniques in the Divine Realm. As long as he didn't take the initiative to show himself, he was confident that even Hongyue couldn't find him.

A sneer appeared on Hongyue's lips as she said. "I have to admit that your devil concealment is something. Unfortunately, you have no idea how the crown works."

"The crown?" Mo Ke subconsciously glanced at the Beyond Heaven King's Crown on Yun Lintian's head and frowned deeply.

The Beyond Heaven King's Crown was the most mysterious artifact in the Divine Realm. No one had ever seen the Beyond Heaven King use it before.

However, many had speculated that it had the ability to control the elements, but there was no confirmation.

"You can die now." Hongyue opened her palm, and the red light around Mo Ke burst out a terrifying force, tearing the surrounding space.

Mo Ke's expression changed, and he wanted to struggle. Seeing that his struggle was futile, he roared furiously. "My brother will definitely kill…."

Before he could finish his sentence, his figure was torn into pieces and disappeared along with the spatial turbulence.

At the same time, the surrounding darkness gradually faded away, revealing an empty space. A giant gate could be seen in the distance, but Hongyue had no intention of checking on it at the moment.

She turned to Yun Lintian, who was convulsed in pain and pointed her finger at his forehead. A bright red light shone at the tip of her finger, and the veins on Yun Lintian's body suddenly shook as if something had run through them.

As time passed, the black spots on Yun Lintian's body gradually faded away, and the pain also slowly disappeared.

However, the dark aura around him didn't decrease much. It was still lingering around as if it was attracted to something inside his body.

Lauya frowned slightly and said. "The Devil Emperor's blood is very powerful. I'm afraid it will leave a trace behind."

Surprisingly, there was no concern on Hongyue's face. On the contrary, she seemed to be happy a bit.

"We have to thank Mo Ke for giving him such a generous gift," Hongyue said with a smile.

Lauya looked at her and seemed to think of something. "Are you…?"

Hongyue retracted her finger and said. "He's bound to step into the Devil Realm in the future. This Devil Emperor's blood will come in handy. Instead of removing it completely, we better use the crown to absorb it."

As she spoke, she glanced at the crown still shining with multicolored light.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's eyes gradually returned to their original state, as well as his consciousness.

"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin and Qingqing were overjoyed when she saw this. They hurriedly came to his side and snuggled into his arms.

"Thank you for saving me." Yun Lintian said while patting their heads lovingly.

He then noticed the dark aura around him. He looked at Hongyue and asked in confusion. "What happened?"

"Mo Ke planned to let you merge with the Devil Emperor's blood and turn you into a genuine devil," Hongyue explained briefly.

Yun Lintian was shocked and hurriedly checked inside his body. At this moment, he saw the black blood flow through his veins, releasing a gloomy aura similar to Xing Chen's.

"Have I become a devil now?" He asked in confusion.

"No. I have sealed the blood's power already. All you need to do right now is use the crown to absorb it." Hongyue responded.

"Using the crown?" Yun Lintian was puzzled slightly, and his mind moved toward the crown on his head.

Buzz—

All of a sudden, the black part of the crown glowed in black light, and Yun Lintian could see the Devil Emperor's blood inside his body was wrapped by the black light before slowly disappearing from his veins.

At the same time, Yun Lintian could feel the crown grow more heavy. Its aura had also risen to another level.

A moment later, the black light disappeared, and the crown shook slightly as if it had just had a big meal.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Hongyue explained. "The crown is more powerful than you think. It, in fact, can literally absorb any elemental power as long as its strength hasn't exceeded yours."

"Moreover, it can also release that absorbed power." She said further. "I didn't stop Mo Ke because I want you to keep this Devil Emperor's blood. Trust me. It will definitely be useful for you in the future."

Although Yun Lintian was still confused, he could accept Hongyue's explanation.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the giant gate in the distance. A strong connection between him and the Golden Mountain core immediately emerged in his heart.
