Chapter 1866: Chapter 1858: Leaving the Demon Tower

Just now, when he was still below, even when he’d reached the 8,999th step, the mountaintop he saw was completely empty, there was absolutely nothing there, yet the moment he arrived at the summit, there was actually a gigantic Demon Hall standing there!

This!

Huang Xiaolong looked back down toward the foot of the mountain and found that the path below hadn’t changed at all.

In his puzzlement, Huang Xiaolong turned his gaze to the enormous Demon Hall before him.

The colossal Demon Hall was triangular; from afar it looked like a gigantic sharp cone. On all four sides of the hall, countless Demon Patterns flowed, like drifting demon sand, ceaseless since time immemorial.

The entrance was at the very bottom, with dense Demonic Qi continuously overflowing from within.

After sensing nothing unusual, Huang Xiaolong walked toward the entrance of the Demon Hall and stepped inside.

As soon as he walked through the entrance, he arrived at a vast square. At the center of the square was a gigantic Demon Clan Big Formation. Huang Xiaolong glanced around, and finally his gaze landed on this gigantic Demon Clan Big Formation, then he strode forward toward it.

Very soon, Huang Xiaolong reached the edge of this enormous Demon Clan Big Formation.

Staring at the Demon Light quietly flowing within the Big Formation, Huang Xiaolong cautiously stepped in.

The instant Huang Xiaolong stepped in, his vision went dark, and he arrived in a Demon Abyss. In this Demon Abyss, there was no sky above and no ground below; to the left and right there was no end in sight. Then, boundless Demon Light erupted from within this Demon Abyss space, and this Demon Light was completely different from the Demon Light of the previous eight levels.

The Demon Light before had been more inclined toward "light," but now this endless Demon Light was incredibly viscous, like Demon Light Molten Lava.

Watching the tidal wave of Demon Light surging in from all directions like a tsunami, Huang Xiaolong was startled. His Demon God Supreme Divine Status roared to life, Magic Power surged forth, forming a layer of defense over his body.

However, when that Demon Light crashed over him, Huang Xiaolong discovered that his Magic Power defense was completely useless; the Demon Light shattered his Magic Power defense in an instant, and his whole body was stuck to by this Magic Power.

Very soon, Huang Xiaolong was completely submerged by this Magic Power.

The instant he was submerged, Huang Xiaolong felt as if he had fallen into a mudslide, and he simply couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move at all.

As a Heavenly Monarch powerhouse, by rights, even if he held his breath for a hundred million years it would be nothing to him, yet now, engulfed by this Magic Power and unable to breathe, Huang Xiaolong genuinely felt suffocation, a feeling of suffocating to death welling up in his heart.

At this moment, it was as if he had become a mortal, a mortal who needed to breathe.

Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, but his eyes were also coated with Magic Power; before him there was nothing but Dark, only Dark.

At the instant of suffocation, Huang Xiaolong suddenly entered a Void Spirit State; he seemed to hear a sound from the deepest depths of this Demon Abyss, seemed to hear the sound of this Magic Power flowing.

Huang Xiaolong’s Demon God Supreme Divine Status activated of its own accord, and the Magic Power surging from all directions continuously poured into his body.

Very soon, the Demon God Supreme Divine Status was like a colossal devouring black hole, madly Devouring the endless Magic Power streaming into Huang Xiaolong’s body.

As that Magic Power continually poured into him, Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body was tempered and washed over again and again by it, constantly being strengthened.

And the Hell’s Heart at his chest shone even more brilliantly, blooming with layer upon layer of Hell Light.

Though the Hell Light was also black, it was somewhat different from the Demon Light of the Demon Domain: within the black of Hell Light lurked a bloody stench and a ghostly chill, whereas the Demon Light of the Demon Domain carried violent ferocity within its blackness, mixed with a deep, dark green.

At this moment, the Blood Eye Demon Tablet flew out from within Huang Xiaolong’s body, rotating continuously around him. The two Blood Eyes on the Demon Tablet fully opened, like the twin Blood Eyes of a Supreme Demon Beast awakening from the depths of the Demon Abyss, gleaming with blood-red light.

The Huge Axe Giant Demon embroidered on the Netherworld Demon Robe also awakened, gulping down the surrounding Demon Light in great mouthfuls, and the Demon Gourd likewise flew out; the gourd mouth generated a force of suction, drawing in tens of millions of threads of Demon Light.

Huang Xiaolong was immersed in that Void Spirit State. Previously, the viscous Magic Power had made him feel suffocated; now, he was drifting in the world of Magic Power, roaming freely within it, incomparably comfortable and at peace.

Very soon, a month passed.

Originally, Huang Xiaolong had been wholly shrouded by Magic Power, with not the slightest trace of him to be seen within the Magic Power of the Demon Abyss, but after a month, the place where Huang Xiaolong was slowly began to seep out specks of radiance.

This radiance pierced through the layers of Magic Power, continuously blooming outward.

As time flowed on, the Magic Power became stronger and greater; from afar, Huang Xiaolong looked like a gigantic sun within the Demon Abyss.

A strange sound spread constantly from where Huang Xiaolong was, echoing through this vast Demon Abyss space.

This strange sound was precisely the beating of Hell’s Heart.

With each beat of Hell’s Heart, the surging Magic Power poured even more frantically toward Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong Devoured that layered Magic Power at a terrifying speed.

Originally already at Heavenly Monarch Eighth Stage Late Stage, Huang Xiaolong broke through to Heavenly Monarch Eighth Stage Late Stage Peak with unstoppable momentum, and his strength was still rising at a shocking rate.

Finally, with a deafening boom, Huang Xiaolong’s whole body trembled, his radiance exploded outward, and the Magic Power around him was blasted away.

Heavenly Monarch Ninth Stage!

After breaking through to Heavenly Monarch Ninth Stage, the Magic Power of the Demon Abyss flooded into Huang Xiaolong’s body with even greater madness.

Another dozen days passed before the Magic Power erupting from the Demon Abyss finally came to a halt.

Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, and two beams of Demon Light shot out from them, piercing straight out for tens of millions of li, tearing open the void before slowly dissipating.

Huang Xiaolong turned his inner sight upon the condition of his body.

This infusion of Magic Power from the Demon Abyss had forged within him a Supreme Demon Body, called the Demon Ascension Body. This Demon Ascension Body was not a special Divine Body, yet it was thousands, even tens of thousands of times stronger than many so-called special Divine Bodies, and it was not in the least inferior to his current Primordial Dragon Divine Body.

Every person who climbed to the Ninth Floor of the Demon Tower could obtain this Demon Ascension Body. Back then, Demon Ancestor Wutian had likewise possessed the Demon Ascension Body.

The Demon Tower was a Treasure born of the most primal energies of heaven and earth in the Demon Domain. Huang Xiaolong’s Demon Ascension Body was inherited from the Demon Tower; with this Demon Tower, from now on in the Demon Domain, Huang Xiaolong could easily Devour the most primordial energies of the Demon Domain anytime, anywhere. No matter what Demon Technique he cultivated, his progress would be like a thousand miles in a single day.

At this moment, the Demon Pattern at Huang Xiaolong’s brow had completely stabilized and faded, yet a Supreme demonic might radiated from his brow, making him seem like a Supreme Demon Ancestor.

After surveying his internal condition once more, Huang Xiaolong turned his gaze to the hovering Blood Eye Demon Tablet at his side. After this infusion of Magic Power, his perception of and connection with the Blood Eye Demon Tablet had grown even deeper.

If he were to approach the Ten Thousand Curses Demon Stele and the Glazed Glass Demon Stele, even from hundreds of millions of li away, Huang Xiaolong was confident he could sense them.

As for going deep into the Demon Beast Empire to search for the two Demon Tablets, Huang Xiaolong now had even greater confidence.

"I wonder how things are outside." Huang Xiaolong recalled the Blood Eye Demon Tablet, Demon Gourd, and the other items, then stood up. His figure blurred, and he left the Demon Abyss; when he appeared again, he was already outside the Demon Tower.
