45: From Resurrection to Death
The Undead Mad Lion was over sixty meters tall and a hundred and fifty meters long.
Its slender tail was covered in bone spurs, and its pupils were no longer their normal color, but replaced by a grayish-white.
With a roar, the Undead Mad Lion's furious bellow could be heard within a radius of several thousand meters.
At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Demon residing within the Undead Mad Lion felt an unprecedented power.
This was the innate talent of their Soul Devouring Demon Clan.
The wound that Wang Bushi had bitten was now continuously recovering under the activation of this talent.
It healed at a visible speed, and the large bite marks instantly vanished, restoring its original appearance!
This was the strength of the Undead Mad Lion!
If not for the Devilish Qi's ability to corrode flesh and blood, preventing the Undead Mad Lion's recovery, then in this Earth-Grade Secret Realm, there would be few who dared to provoke the Undead Mad Lion.
Unfortunately, this Undead Mad Lion had rather bad luck and attempted to attack the Resentment Demon Wang Bushi.
Because of this, the Undead Mad Lion died at Wang Bushi's hands.
Now, the Undead Mad Lion's corpse was occupied by a Soul-Devouring Demon, its talent activated, and the Undead Mad Lion 'resurfaced' once again.
Of course, this so-called resurfacing was naturally living under the will of the Soul-Devouring Demon.
Li Yao glanced at the Undead Mad Lion controlled by the Soul-Devouring Demon; it was indeed powerful.
Just one roar was enough to tell that this guy hadn't brushed his teeth since birth.
Even from several hundred meters away, Li Yao could clearly smell the bad breath.
"So stinky, go get a PCR test!"
Li Yao grabbed the Zhenhai Rod and fiercely thrust it towards the Undead Mad Lion's throat!
Because of its roaring, the Undead Mad Lion's throat was perfectly exposed before Li Yao.
With that thrust, the Zhenhai Rod directly pierced through the Undead Mad Lion's throat.
"Grow bigger! Grow longer!"
The Zhenhai Rod in his hand began to continuously expand. The Undead Mad Lion, controlled by the Soul-Devouring Demon, wanted to close its mouth and bite the Zhenhai Rod, but found that it couldn't close its mouth!
Not only that, because the Zhenhai Rod was still continuously expanding, the Undead Mad Lion's mouth was forcibly stretched open.
Finally, as the Zhenhai Rod grew larger and larger, the Undead Mad Lion's mouth split open enormously!
What split open with it was the Undead Mad Lion's head!
And freed from the constraint of the Undead Mad Lion's head, the Zhenhai Rod also began to shrink, until it fit Li Yao's size.
From revival to immediate death, it took a full ten seconds.
At this moment, a Soul-Devouring Demon slowly emerged from the Undead Mad Lion's body.
Its head had already exploded; now the Undead Mad Lion was truly dead.
The Soul-Devouring Demon's Physical Body was very fragile. Even with his current King-level strength, he would still not be an opponent if he encountered a Marquis-level exotic beast.
Unless he could forcibly occupy the enemy's Physical Body, otherwise, there was only a dead end.
Clearly, directly occupying Li Yao's Physical Body was not feasible.
Within Li Yao's body, there were currently two Souls.
Besides Li Yao's own, there was also the Golden Armor Fire Ape, which had transformed into a beast Soul and temporarily resided within Li Yao's body.
Once this Soul-Devouring Demon rashly entered, what awaited him would naturally be a righteous group beating.
Therefore, the moment the Undead Mad Lion's Physical Body shattered, the Soul-Devouring Demon began to flee.
"Demons are still demons, indeed."
The first time, he had seen a Demon run away when it couldn't win.
Now this Soul-Devouring Demon was the same; unable to win, he started to escape again.
However, Li Yao would not let go of such a great opportunity.
Regardless of anything else, first catch this guy and kill him.
"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"
"Why are you running now?"
"Don't run! Is the Pride Monarch's capable assistant only this strong?"
"I'm too embarrassed to even say it out loud."
At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Demon, being relentlessly pursued by Li Yao, was filled with frustration and anger.
You can insult me!
But, do not insult my master!
If he wasn't no match for Li Yao, he would have already smashed Li Yao's mouth.
Moreover, if he could just hold on for a few minutes, he could counter Li Yao!
"Trying to run?"
"No way!"
"Zhenhai Rod! Go!"
The next second, Li Yao held the Zhenhai Rod and made a throwing motion.
The Zhenhai Rod flew from his hand at an extremely high speed, like a javelin, directly plunging into the Soul-Devouring Demon's body!
Swish!!
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and the Soul-Devouring Demon's body was forcefully impaled to the ground!
The Zhenhai Rod's abilities began to take effect.
Upon seeing the Soul-Devouring Demon pinned down, Li Yao began to activate the Zhenhai Rod.
"Suppress!"
As soon as Li Yao's words fell, the Zhenhai Rod unleashed its inherent ability.
Power of Suppression!
A powerful pressure directly crushed down on the Soul-Devouring Demon's body.
The Soul-Devouring Demon was completely unable to move, only able to be firmly pinned in place by the Zhenhai Rod.
He couldn't even move a single tentacle.
"No!"
The Soul-Devouring Demon was terrified.
He was still young, only a hundred years old!
One must know that a typical Demon could live for a thousand years!
At around a hundred years old, he could only be considered a little kid among Demons.
Li Yao leaped forward, landing beside the Soul-Devouring Demon's body.
Looking at the Soul-Devouring Demon pinned to the ground, he complained, "Honestly, did your ancestors interbreed with octopuses?"
Soul-Devouring Demon: ???
Human! You can insult me, but do not insult my ancestors!
His ancestors were the great Soul Devouring Demon Clan!
They were a presence capable of making other Demons fear.
It was just that the Soul-Devouring Demon's abilities were too terrifying, to the extent that other Demons within the Demon Clan could not tolerate the Soul-Devouring Demon's existence.
So, only a few members of the Soul Devouring Demon Clan remained.
Any who were slightly stronger would be targeted and devoured by other Demons.
It could be said that the Soul Devouring Demon Clan once had its glory, but unfortunately, because their abilities were too terrifying, they were targeted.
Li Yao was now in a similar situation.
Because his talent was too powerful, he had been targeted by various races in the Universe.
"If I'm not mistaken, that monster just now was released by you to target me, right?"
"Looking so strange, it's indeed a monster from the Demon Clan."
Oh, right! There's also the Resentment Demon!
At this moment, the Resentment Demon was still on its way. As long as he could stall for time, he could hold out until the Resentment Demon came to rescue him!
Although the Resentment Demon also wanted to kill him, he was the Resentment Demon's master. With this contractual relationship, the Resentment Demon could not harm him at all!
Thinking of this, the Soul-Devouring Demon, for the safety of his own life, chose to stall for time with Li Yao.
