<h4>Chapter 1119: The Deranged Devil</h4>


    Daoist Master Dao Yin quickly took a golden pill to suppress his own injuries, then turned his gaze to Wen Zhong.


    To everyone''s surprise, despite his fiery personality, at this moment, he was gazing upon Wen Zhong with nothing but sympathy in his eyes.


    All of a sudden, he vanished from the spot, only to abruptly reappear behind Wen Zhong.


    Wen Zhong immediately swung around, beforeshing out in retaliation, only for Daoist Master Dao Yin to grab onto his arm before wrenching it downward.


    Wen Zhong felt as if a massive mountain were suddenly weighing down upon his arm, sending him falling forward onto the ground.


    Daoist Master Dao Yin took advantage of this opportunity to raise his other hand, following which a streak of needle-like light shot out of his fingertip before piercing into Wen Zhong''s be.


    Wen Zhong''s entire body instantly shuddered violently as if he had been struck by lightning, and he fell unconscious on the spot, much to Lei Yuce''s relief.


    However, his relief soon turned to horror as he cast his gaze toward the edge of the destroyed altar, where a cloud of ck mist had emerged, and it was swirling incessantly, forming a stormy, ck vortex that was around ten feet in height.


    No one was able to pinpoint the moment that the vortex had appeared, as it revolved faster and faster, the ck light within it glowed brighter and brighter.


    All of a sudden, the vortex fell still, and a slightly hunched-over male figure emerged from the ck light within.


    The man had skin that was as ck as ink, and his eyes were very peculiar in appearance. His left pupil was glowing with bright, purple light, as if there were a purple nebulous cloud swirling around inside, while his right pupil was filled with murky, azure light.


    The man''s face was very angr, with a tall nose, and sharp, thin lips. He should''ve been a rather handsome middle-aged man, but with his head of disheveled, gray hair and his thick beard, he appeared more like an unkempt elderly man.


    After the man emerged from the vortex, he immediately crouched down before wrapping his arms around his own knees, then began rocking back and forth while mumbling something unintelligible to himself.


    Everyone was looking on with perplexed expressions when all of a sudden, a burst of ck light emerged over the man''s back, forming a ck vortex that was roughly a foot in diameter.


    Peculiar looks appeared on everyone''s faces upon seeing this, and all of a sudden, a translucent, ck thread emerged from each of their bes, even those of the already deceased devilish beings, following which the ck threads drifted directly toward the vortex on the man''s back.


    In the instant that the ck thread flew out of Han Li''s be, he immediately reached out to try and catch it for a closer examination, but it passed straight through his hand as if it had no substantial form.


    Meanwhile, all of the cultivators waiting outside the Eon Pagoda had already split up into groups and factions, waiting for the return of everyone in the pagoda.


    It had already been a very long time since Lei Yuce and the others first entered the pagoda, and the people waiting outside had begun to grow rather agitated. Some conflicts had even arisen between hostile factions during this time, but they were ultimately all deescted without much trouble.


    At the moment, it was approaching dusk outside the pagoda, and most of the cultivators were seated in meditation. Right at this moment, a translucent, ck thread emerged from all of their bes.


    All of the ck threads converged in the sky, forming a dark cloud that drifted toward the Eon Pagoda before vanishing into it.


    Everyone outside the pagoda followed the dark cloud to the pagoda, where they looked on with perplexed expressions as it vanished right before their eyes.

    Immediately thereafter, many people began to depart from the pagoda, dispersing in all directions.


    Meanwhile, the same translucent, ck threads were flying out of the bodies of all of the remaining living beings trapped on all levels of the Eon Pagoda, and all of these ck threads traveled toward the same final destination, namely the ck vortex behind the disheveled, middle-aged man.


    Han Li watched as countless ck threads converged toward the man from all directions, and a peculiar feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.


    As that ck thread was emerging from his be, he had suddenly felt a sense of lightness and rity in his consciousness, as if something had been weighing down on his consciousness this entire time, but it had finally been removed.


    However, what was rather unsettling to him was that he had no idea when this ck thread had appeared in his consciousness, and it had somehow been able topletely avoid the detection of his Spirit Refinement Technique.


    In reality, this was a question that had urred to everyone else present as well.


    None of them received any inkling that anything had been amiss, and it was only after these ck threads had emerged from their bodies that they felt a change in their mental state.


    All of a sudden, the ck vortex behind the middle-aged man faded away, and he rose up from the ground before letting loose a loud yawn while stretchingzily, as if he had just awoken from a long slumber.


    At this point, his aura had swelled to the pinnacle of the Great Epassment Stage, and every single movement of his seemed to be able to affect the space around him.


    However, his aura then gradually became more and more restrained until it waspletely subdued, giving him the appearance of an innocuous, deranged man dressed in shabby clothes.


    Judging from the grim and horrified looks on the faces of Daoist Master Dao Yin and the other Almighty Sword Sect cultivators, this man had to have been none other than the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.


    "Who''re all of you?" the man asked in a perplexed manner, but as soon as his voice trailed off, a golden pir of fire came crashing down upon him from the heavens, sending him sprawling forward before sinking into the ground.


    The pir of fire seemed to have been holding the weight of a thousand mountains, and the ground was fracturing violently despite the powerful fortification restrictions in the pce.


    Han Li turned to discover a bright red thread around the Eon Divine Lamp, indicating that Daoist Master Dao Yin had expended his own blood essence to use the Eon Divine Lamp to unleash that attack upon the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.


    Only after a long while did the pir of golden mes fade away, and everyone''s attention was focused on the massive crater on the ground, where the man''s aura had suddenly bepletely undetectable.


    Right as everyone was looking on with bated breath, a pained groan suddenly rang out from within the crater, immediately following which a figure drifted out from within in a wraith-like manner, leaving an afterimage behind as they sped over to Daoist Master Dao Yin in the blink of an eye.


    Daoist Master Dao Yin had been on his guard this entire time, and he immediatelyshed out, sending bursts of golden mes flying out of the Eon Divine Lamp before raining down upon the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.


    However, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity made no attempt to take evasive measures as he sped directly into the fiery storm, and ayer of dense, ck light emerged over his fist as he swung them through the air, unleashing a barrage of countless ck fist projections.


    The storm of fist projections shed against the flurry of golden mes, and the former was able to easily eradicate thetter.


    However, after the golden mes faded away, a burst of five-colored light came sweeping toward the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity, having been unleashed by the Five-Elemental Great Annihtion Array.


    "Piss off!" the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity grumbled in a displeased voice as he rushed headfirst into the vast expanse of five-colored light, upon which his body instantly exploded into a cloud of ck mist.


    Before Daoist Master Dao Yin had a chance to react, the cloud of ck mist was already upon him, and a hand came reaching out of it before forcefully striking his chest.


    Daoist Master Dao Yin let loose a pained cry as he was sent flying back through the air, and only then did the cloud of ck mist fully reform into the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity.


    Daoist Master Dao Yin was already carrying very severe injuries, and this palm strike only furtherpounded his woes. After tumbling to the ground, he threw up several mouthfuls of blood before falling unconscious.


    Han Li and the others were all astonished to see this.


    Not only did the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity not fear the mes of the Eon Divine Lamp, he was also able to shrug off the attacks of the Five-Elemental Great Annihtion with ease, and that was a feat that even Qi Mozi wasn''t confident in his own ability to replicate.


    After wounding Daoist Master Dao Yin, the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity didn''t continue to go after him. Instead, he turned to stare at the Eon Divine Lamp that had trapped him for so many years, and it was unclear what he was thinking.


    Lei Yuce wanted to fly over to Daoist Master Dao Yin''s side, but he was afraid that doing so would incur the wrath of the Dark Heavens Devilish Deity''s, so he could remain rooted to the spot, while cold sweat flowed down from his forehead.
