Chapter 968: Crazy Idea
"Junior, since you have come here, it means you have fallen into this desolate island. Encountering me is your fortune." The Demon Sovereign's mouth spat out words, sounding extremely self-conceited.
"Humans always claim they are the spirits of all things. What does 'spirits of all things' mean? In my view, demons are the origin of all things. The desolate aura of this Wasteland Sea can destroy humans. I have never heard of anyone being able to conquer this desolate aura. Yet, what human experts could not achieve, I have accomplished. I have merged the power of desolation for my own use, roaming the Wasteland Sea without fear. The power of desolation has no effect on me. I don't need any means to resist it; I can gallop through the Wasteland Sea freely. Tell me, besides me, which human can do this? At most, they rely on what they think is great comprehension to grasp a trace of desolate power and then become self-righteous."
This Demon Sovereign's voice was proud, looking down on humans.
"Indeed a crazy fellow, no wonder he dared to use his demon sea to devour the power of desolation." Qiongqi muttered softly, then cursed under his breath: "But just a mere Demon Sovereign, daring to be so arrogant. I, the Emperor, am not this cocky."
Lin Feng glared at Qiongqi. Was this guy trying to compare who was more arrogant with this dead Demon Sovereign?
He continued to look at the Demon Sovereign, waiting to see what he wanted to say.
"But my mistake was being too arrogant. Although I used my demon sea to devour the power of desolation, allowing me to control the power of desolation, my demonic power and the power of desolation were incompatible. The demonic power within me could not completely suppress the power of desolation, causing demonic power to become chaotic, my demon sea to become restless and unstable, and plunging me into danger."
The voice of this Green Phosphorus Blood Python gradually softened, as if lamenting his own fate, filled with regret.
"With my demonic power in chaos and my demon sea collapsing, the power of desolation began to erode my body. I knew I could not survive, but I still wanted to pass on what I had comprehended to the descendants of the demon realm." Saying this, the phantom seemed somewhat proud, lifting its head and continuing: "In our demon realm, many demon beasts have instinctive devouring power in their sea of consciousness, just like me. Devouring the power of desolation is no problem."
"But in the end, I still underestimated the strength of the power of desolation. I could devour it and make it my own power, but I could not completely control and suppress it. Therefore, I believe that if any descendant of our demon realm possesses devouring power, they could choose to empty their demon sea, leaving nothing behind, making the demon sea the most primitive and purest demon sea. Then, devour the power of desolation, using it to replace demonic power. From then on, demonic power would be the power of desolation. This endless Wasteland Sea would provide an inexhaustible supply of nourishment."
"Madman, such a crazy idea." Qiongqi cursed softly. Replacing demonic power with the power of desolation—this guy's idea was too crazy, truly daring to think of it. No wonder he died here. But Qiongqi had to admit that the other's madness had indeed achieved what countless others could not. He really did devour the power of desolation and use it.
To expel and empty demonic power, then devour the power of desolation—this was asking a demon beast to gamble with its life. If the demon sea was corroded by the power of desolation without demonic power to resist, death was certain.
The power of desolation was not so easy to devour. This was evident from the other's death. A powerful Demon Sovereign, with terrifying demonic aura and a mighty demon sea, still ultimately died to the power of desolation.
"Junior, thank me. I have found an unprecedented path of cultivation for you. If you succeed, you will control the power of desolation, a power that makes people tremble. Of course, if your demon sea is not strong enough, don't try it. That would be suicide. If you cannot or dare not, remember to pass my words to any demon realm person who dares to do this. You must remember."
The phantom's voice gradually weakened, and then it slowly dissipated, disappearing. The space once again fell into a dead silence of darkness.
At this moment, in the demon sea of the giant skeleton, faint traces of desolate power flowed very slowly, seeping out bit by bit, gradually dispersing into the void, as if truly about to vanish.
"This Demon Sovereign is somewhat like you." Lin Feng said to Qiongqi. This Green Phosphorus Blood Python, even in death, wanted the demon realm to remember him. He believed he had made a great contribution to the demon realm, opening an unprecedented path for his descendants.
"Nonsense! How could I, the Emperor, be like this utter madman!" Qiongqi cursed angrily. "But if you're not crazy, you won't become a demon. This guy has achieved something. Perhaps what he said might actually succeed. The demon sea is an innate talent of demon beasts, just like how we humans open our divine consciousness. The power devoured by the demon sea is the demon beast's divine ability. When he was alive, by devouring the power of desolation with his demon sea, he indeed managed to not fear the power of desolation."
Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Qiongqi. Since the Green Phosphorus Blood Python could use the power of desolation and no longer fear it, it meant there was a possibility of success.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng asked Qiongqi: "How is a demon sea opened? Can only demon beasts open one?"
"What are you asking that for?" Qiongqi's expression tightened, staring at Lin Feng.
"I also have demonic power within me, as you know. Can I open a demon sea?" Lin Feng continued.
Qiongqi was stunned by Lin Feng's words, staring at him intently. How could he have forgotten? Lin Feng possessed the most precious demonic power of the Snow Linglong—the Linglong Saint Immortal Qi. But this guy, he was actually asking this.
"You want to cultivate demonic power, open a demon sea, and devour the power of desolation?" Qiongqi stared at Lin Feng, his huge eyes filled with seriousness. This bastard was also a madman.
Lin Feng stared back at Qiongqi and nodded: "That's the idea. The Linglong Saint Immortal Qi should be a very powerful demonic power. If I use it to open and envelop my demon sea, it will surely make the demon sea extremely stable. Moreover, if I can open a demon sea, there won't be any impure demonic power in it. I won't need to expel or empty the demonic power from the demon sea; I can directly devour the power of desolation."
"The Linglong Saint Immortal Qi indeed has terrifying devouring ability." Qiongqi muttered softly, then fell silent again. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to come up with such a crazy idea. He himself hadn't thought of it. Now that he was occupying the demon body of Qiongqi, it would be easier for him to open a demon sea.
"But how do you know the power of desolation won't erode your body, colliding with the true essence within you and causing chaos in your internal energy? Don't forget how this guy died."
"You also said the demon sea condenses the demonic power of a demon beast. He devoured the power of desolation with his demon sea, causing conflict. But I am different. If I have a demon sea, it will only contain the power of desolation, not conflicting with the true essence within me. If using the power of desolation truly erodes my body, I will always seal it within the demon sea, only using it through the demon sea."
Lin Feng replied: "The question now is, can I open a demon sea?"
A demon sea—this was, after all, an innate talent of demons, just like how humans condense divine consciousness. Although he possessed the Linglong Saint Immortal Qi, a powerful demonic power, he didn't know if it could serve to open a demon sea.
Qiongqi stared at Lin Feng, not speaking for a long time.
"Tell me, is it possible?" Lin Feng asked, seeing Qiongqi's reaction. If it weren't possible, this guy would definitely mock him, not act like this.
Qiongqi let out a heavy breath and said to Lin Feng: "Humans and demon beasts are both living beings of heaven and earth, but they are fundamentally different. Humans have their own cultivation methods, while demon beasts have innate demonic power. Generally speaking, humans cannot possess demonic power. But your situation is different. A Snow Linglong was willing to sacrifice for you, transferring the Linglong Saint Immortal Qi to you. You now possess extremely pure demonic power. As long as the demonic power is strong enough to a certain extent, you can gather demonic force and open a demon sea."
"You mean I can open a demon sea, right?" Lin Feng's eyes sharpened as he spoke.
"In the past, there have been precedents of humans cultivating demonic power and opening a demon sea. You are not the first!" Qiongqi uttered a sound, undoubtedly confirming Lin Feng's words. He could open a demon sea!
