Chapter 148: Sea-Flipping Seal
Even a single black ice spike could instantly kill a Dou Emperor-level expert, let alone when it appeared in a sky-covering formation.
Facing the overwhelming black ice spikes, Xiao Feng showed a grave expression and immediately activated the Dou Emperor bloodline power within him.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a flash of dazzling golden light, a flame giant about a hundred meters tall appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. Its entire body was wrapped in earth-yellow flames, and its surface was covered with mysterious patterns.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The black ice spikes, which were powerful enough to instantly kill a Dou Emperor, evaporated the moment they touched the flame giant.
"Damn! What is that thing?"
Feeling the terrifying aura from the flame giant, which far exceeded his own, Old Ground demon Ghost's expression drastically changed.
Xiao Feng, however, paid no attention to the reaction of Old Ground demon Ghost. Instead, he controlled the flame giant, making two different hand gestures.
Open-Mountain Seal!!!
Sea-Flipping Seal!!!
Two massive energy palms, each over a hundred meters wide, swept forward with an earth-shattering force, casting a giant shadow over everything as they crushed toward Old Ground demon Ghost.
Seeing this, Old Ground demon Ghost's pupils trembled violently, and he felt as if a giant "danger" character had appeared above his head.
Escape!!!
At this moment, the only thought in Old Ground demon Ghost's mind was to flee with all his might—he had no intention of resisting.
His instincts told him that if he dared to take this blow head-on, he would surely die!
"Whoosh—"
Having made his decision, Old Ground demon Ghost turned and fled without hesitation.
Who would have thought that Jia Nan Academy had produced such a monster? If he couldn't win, he could at least escape, right? Worst case, he'd abandon the foundation of the Demon Flame Valley and leave the Black-Corner Region entirely.
With his Seven-Star Dou Ancestor strength, there was nowhere in the world he couldn't go. Even in the Central Plains, where experts were as common as clouds, he could still dominate a region.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even if it takes ten years! As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
"Trying to escape? Too late!"
Xiao Feng controlled the flame giant, and with a wave of its hands, the two massive energy palms merged into one. In an instant, it crossed several kilometers and slammed into Old Ground demon Ghost.
"Boom boom boom..."
With a terrifying earthquake-like rumble, a portion of the distant mountains disappeared, leaving only a deep hand-shaped abyss over a kilometer long, over three hundred meters wide, and over a hundred meters deep.
At the center of the terrifying abyss lay a shattered black ice ball, inside of which was the twisted and deformed corpse of Old Ground demon Ghost.
[Holy crap! What kind of Dou Technique is that? It doesn't seem any weaker than my Five-Wheel Flame Technique!]
Seeing the miserable state of Old Ground demon Ghost's corpse, Tian Huo Venerable couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Although both the Imperial Seal Technique and the Five-Wheel Flame Technique could unleash the power of a Heaven-Tier beginner Dou Technique, it was clear that the Imperial Seal Technique was slightly stronger.
After all, the Five-Wheel Flame Technique required the gathering of four different types of flames to release the power of a Heaven-Tier beginner Dou Technique, while the Imperial Seal Technique only required full mastery.
To be honest, even Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised by the power of the combined Open-Mountain and Sea-Flipping Seals.
Had it not been for Old Ground demon Ghost using all his strength to defend at the last moment, he probably wouldn't have left an intact corpse behind, which would have been quite a waste.
With the fall of Old Ground demon Ghost and the defeat of the four Grand Elders, the remaining outer elders and disciples of Demon Flame Valley completely gave up resisting and surrendered one after another.
After collecting Old Ground demon Ghost's corpse and spirit body, Xiao Feng instructed Little Doctor Immortal and the others to gather all the Dou Kings and Dou Spirits of Demon Flame Valley together.
[Who would've thought the Valley Master was killed? What the heck was that flame giant?] [The Valley Master saved my life. If I get the chance, I will definitely avenge him. For now, I'll pretend to submit.] [Why did this person gather us all here? I have a bad feeling about this...]
Listening to the hidden thoughts of the crowd, Xiao Feng wasn't too concerned.
He didn't consider himself the main character of some easy-going novel, where just standing there would make everyone kneel and pledge allegiance.
Sitting on the Valley Master's throne, Xiao Feng glanced at the crowd, making them all feel uneasy under his gaze. Only after watching them for a while did he speak in a frightening tone: "According to my usual practice, I would kill you all to root out any future threats."
!!!
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed dramatically.
Some turned pale as a sheet, trembling slightly, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
Some clenched their fists instinctively, their Dou Qi surging as they prepared to fight to the death.
The smart ones, however, sensed something deeper in Xiao Feng's words and began to listen carefully.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng changed his tone: "However, I currently intend to establish a new force in the Black-Corner Region, and I am in need of people. If you pledge allegiance to me, I can spare your lives."
"..."
Everyone was momentarily stunned before they all shouted in unison, "We are willing to serve you, young master!!!"
"Good!"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since you are so wise, I am not a stingy person. I will help you all increase your strength!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Xiao Feng slowly raised his right hand, and dozens of ice spikes extended from his fingertips, piercing into the necks of everyone at lightning speed.
"Do not resist! This is a blessing I bestow upon you. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Sensing the unmistakable killing intent in Xiao Feng's voice, those who had instinctively wanted to resist felt a chill down their spines and quickly suppressed their urge to fight back.
Under the curious gaze of Ziyan, crimson blood began to flow from Xiao Feng's fingertips, entering the bodies of the Demon Flame Valley members through the ice spikes.
"Ahhh..."
As the Demon Flame Valley members endured the corrosion of the Demon King's blood, their veins bulged, and cold sweat poured down their bodies. Yet, none dared to resist, forcing themselves to endure the excruciating pain as low groans escaped their lips.
After the initial rejection reaction passed, their bodies gradually completed the transformation into Demons, and the pain subsided. They even found their cultivation levels skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng, as the Demon King, turned deathly pale, giving off the impression that he was almost drained.
By using his blood to transform others into Demons, Xiao Feng was essentially bestowing part of his power upon those being transformed.
Though this wouldn't significantly affect Xiao Feng's strength, it would severely deplete his life force.
