Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1532: Peak

Long Chen released the skull of the White Tiger King. However, his body still remained floating in the air. His arms were spread wide as if someone was pulling his body apart. The White Tiger King's face kept turning paler and paler. All his nerves became visible, turning black. His claws came out on their own. The old man was in the worst pain of his life. The life essence of the White Tiger King kept leaving his body, being sucked by Long Chen. Not only did the White Tiger King lose his life essence like this, but that essence made Long Chen's body stronger instead. It was similar to Long Chen absorbing the Origin Energy through his sword. The only difference was that the energy was being sucked directly. Moreover, since the Spirit that occupied Long Chen's body knew all the knowledge that a Cultivator did, he used the energy he absorbed to strengthen Long Chen's core. Long Chen's cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. From the initial stages of the Martial God Realm, he had inched closer to the middle stages. His cultivation didn't stop there either. The life essence of the White Tiger King was immense, especially with the God Core he had. The White Tiger King hadn't transferred his God Core to his son or the next heir. The core was still inside his body. Unfortunately for him, the Demon King knew how to take that core as well. The sweet taste of strength was something that he had tasted after a long time, but he wasn't going to let it go easily. Not only did the White Tiger King hurt the person he was occupying the body of, but he also challenged him. Moreover, the White Tiger King's life essence was what he needed the most. Even though the Demon King hated the Ancestral God the most because of being trapped, but he also wanted to kill him with his own hands. For that, he needed to heal him first!

He had already sensed that the Ancestral God had lost his body, and now he was Long Chen's Martial Soul. He needed to heal the Martial Soul just enough to bring him back. "Father!" As the White Tiger King was losing his life essence, he also lost control of the prison where he kept his daughter. The prison disappeared, freeing Lin and Xun. Lin ran to her father to help him, not wanting to lose him. "Back." Long Chen casually flicked his fingers, sending Lin flying back like a doll. Lin's body crashed on the wall in the back, making her cough out a mouthful of blood. Her strength was nowhere close to her father, let alone being close to the person who could defeat her father. Long Chen wasn't the same old. The vast knowledge in his head... He truly was stronger than the current Demon Lord… Way stronger. Moreover, most of his skills had already gone extinct. These ancient skills were lost in time, only to make a return with him. Long Chen's strength kept going up, reaching the Ninth Stage of the Martial God Realm. The cultivation even crossed the ninth stage, not stopping there. It reached the tenth stage and still kept climbing up. "Tribulation of Gods?" Long Chen muttered, glancing toward the sky. Now that he had reached the peak stage of the Martial God Realm, he could sense a tribulation, which was to judge him if he was worthy of being a real God or not. The Demon King had never gone through a tribulation himself, but he had heard about the humans they faced. As did him, he believed he was way above it. Still, he was quite curious about the Tribulation of Gods. Instead of being worried, he wanted to face it head on. The White Tiger King's scream went silent. His breathing stopped as his body was left as nothing more than a skeleton. It was as if not even a single shred of life essence was left in his body. It was the first time that a Godly Beast King was killed in such a way. The Demonic Sacrifice was still not over. There was one last time left. A beautiful white sphere of light came out of the White Tiger King's body, being his God Beast Core. It was the core that was connected to the Godly Stars, making him what he was. Other than a White Tiger, no one else could even absorb the core... No one other than Long Chen himself. Long Chen had the essence of the Ancestral Gods, who actually created most of the Godly Beast. Even the Demon King felt that the Godly Core was compatible with Long Chen's body. "Little kid, since I'm already here, let me help you become stronger... The day I leave, I shall make sure you are the strongest being the world has ever seen."

The body of the White Tiger King was tossed aside, leaving only the White Core floating before Long Chen. The Stark White Core, filled with immense energy, started floating closer to Long Chen as if being attracted by a mysterious force. The white core slowly entered Long Chen's body. It was absorbed in his heart. As soon as the white core was absorbed in Long Chen's heart, it slowly started changing his heart. Long Chen's pitch black eyes return back to their original golden hue. His heart and his body became stronger. A small white strip appeared on Long Chen's back. The White Core gave Long Chen's strength an additional boost, bringing him to the limit of the Martial God Realm. Not a single God Beast had managed to cross that stage. Even the Heavenly King hadn't crossed that stage. That was the peak that was known to the World, but the Demon King knew that was more to it. Back outside, the entire sky of the White Tiger Realm had turned pitch black. It was as if the bright day had turned into a dark night. The roaring of the skies could also be heard even inside the Royal Castle. The young prince was sitting inside his castle with the Black Tortoise Clan Patriarch and the others. He was just starting to believe that they were telling the truth. He had just instructed his men to prepare for departure when he heard the thundering outside. He got down from the throne and left the castle with the ministers. Zhu Chang and his team also followed behind, being just as surprised. "What is this?" Baihu Yang exclaimed, looking at the sky. It was the first time something like this was happening in the White Tiger Realm.
