Chapter 658: Chapter 429: Brother Yang, Can I Truly Be Called “Demon Lord”?

“I knew you wouldn’t miss this, Ding Zhen!”

Yang Genshuo sighed in slight relief.

The sudden disappearance of Ding Zhen had indeed worried the high-ranking members of the Danai Dynasty.

Yang Shi didn’t show it, because as a leader, he had to remain calm and give the cultivators of the Danai Dynasty confidence.

Chu Qiao and the elders of the Xuan Stone Sect were at a loss.

Yet, Yang Genshuo knew approximately that Ding Zhen wouldn’t miss this.

Because… ten years ago, during that battle, as the head of a sect, Ding Zhen couldn’t do anything but watch Yang Shi fight desperately for everyone, feeling utterly powerless.

Upon returning, he asked Yang Shi what that golden body was.

Yang Genshuo had a sudden idea!

‘Back when Yang Shi and Ding Zhen suppressed the demon cultivators’ rebellion together, also developing the Danai Dynasty, Ding Zhen’s merit was no less than Yang Shi’s! Plus, he is a cultivator, why not let him cultivate the “Merit Technique” as well!’

It should be known that all the cultivation techniques learned by the Yang Family members could be fully viewed by Yang Genshuo.

No celestial sect’s regulations or confidentiality methods, such as self-destructing after reading… as long as a Yang Family member cultivates it, he can see the technique.

He decisively gave Ding Zhen a fresh Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s supreme skill, the “Merit Technique.”

Ding Zhen entered closed-door practice for ten years, spending a lengthy period cultivating the “Merit Technique.”

“Today, it seems… Ding Zhen can already initially condense his own Merit Golden Body, and he’s not afraid of the Reverse Flow Sect’s Time Skill anymore.”

“But… where has Ding Zhen been during this time?”

“How did his cultivation level increase so much?”

Ding Zhen’s strength rose from the Golden Core four-layer ten years ago to Golden Core seven-layer today!

In just ten years, he advanced three times consecutively!

What kind of concept is this?

Even someone as formidable as Yang Feng, with all cultivation resources maxed out, couldn’t compare to him!

Yang Genshuo looked at Ding Zhen’s status bar and found an annotation of [Golden Core Seventh Layer (↑)] behind his realm.

“Could it be he used some elixir or secret technique to forcefully enhance his realm?”

“Perhaps he had some fortuitous encounter.”

But all these would have to wait until the battle ends; today, even though Ding Zhen still doesn’t match Feng Yi, Xuan Jiao, and the Night Demon Leader’s realms,

But, at Golden Core seventh layer, he already possesses the power to fight!

Being at the same Golden Core late stage, the three opponents cannot easily defeat him.

Moreover, there’s still Yang Shi!

“Brother Ding, let’s join forces and destroy that sand timer, and we shall win!”

“Hmm, I saw it when I came.”

Ding Zhen’s first move was aimed at attacking that sand timer, clearly realizing it’s the key to their victory.

The two of them, attacking the sand timer from left and right, their intentions were extremely obvious!

Especially Yang Shi, who was willing to exchange his life if necessary!

With the Merit Golden Body’s enhancement, they not only became immune to the Time Skill, but their defense also significantly increased, making it very difficult for the opponent to take down Yang Shi and even more so along with Golden Core seventh layer Ding Zhen, the attack and defense are no longer one-sided.

They couldn’t recklessly use magic arts and had to be cautious of Ding Zhen’s counterattacks.

Gold element magic, unstoppable!

Any slight mistake would lead to total defeat!

A wisp of black smoke emerged from behind Feng Yi, transforming into the appearance of Yang Qiangzheng.

“No matter how scheming you are, you still cannot control the entire situation, Feng Yi, you are destined to lose, hehehe~”

Feng Yi frowned, dispersing this Heart Demon, although seeing through Yang Qiangzheng, the Heart Demon it caused still existed in his heart.

If the great demon is rage, and the shadow demon is greed, then he is doubt.

He is suspicious of gods, ghosts, and himself.

He always fears losing control of the situation.

At this moment, another person with great merit whom he did not expect arrived, making him extremely agitated.

“A dynasty… actually birthing two people with great merit?”

“Hmph! So what, it’s just like an ant trying to shake a tree!”

“Alright, let me send you off one by one!”

Feng Yi was enraged!

He does not allow for any failure in his plans!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Feng Yi transformed into a storm, sweeping Ding Zhen and Yang Shi together!

Amidst the roaring winds, even Xuan Jiao and the Night Demon Leader could not intervene.

“Feng Yi is using his full power… he can kill those two by himself, we just need to protect the sand timer and assist from the side, ensuring they don’t steal it.”

Xuan Jiao and the Night Demon Leader dared not soften their vigilance.

The addition of Ding Zhen made them lose interest in hunting Yang Shi as before, instead, they had to respond with extreme caution.

Boom boom boom!

In the storm, golden techniques and swordsmanship flew about, the three’s magic battle was as intense as a landslide and tsunami.

All the cultivators trapped by the Time Skill watched them, their eyes filled with hope.

A century ago, when the Danai Dynasty was ravaged by the demon cultivators, it was them who stood up.

Today, it’s still Yang Shi and Ding Zhen.

Their entire lives have been dedicated to fighting for their dynasty!

The tragic situation brought tears to everyone’s eyes.

Under Feng Yi’s frenzied attack, Yang Shi and Ding Zhen were trapped within the storm, fully covered in wounds.

Even with Ding Zhen’s explosive advancement of three stages like a small cosmos explosion, under the full force of a Golden Core nine-layer cultivator, they still couldn’t withstand.

The gap between Golden Core seventh layer and Golden Core ninth layer is enormous… even larger than the gap compared to his previous self at Golden Core four-layer.

“Brother Ding! At this rate, we’ll be dragged to death! Don’t worry about me, use your means… to destroy that magic treasure!”

Yang Shi noticed Ding Zhen still had a trump card.

“Brother Yang, no matter what happens next… please believe I am always the Ding Zhen of the past.”

“I believe you! No one believes in you more than I do!”

Yang Shi shouted loudly!

“Blood Thought Demon Lord, reshape the demon body!”

The next moment, all the golden techniques covering Ding Zhen vanished, his eyes emitted red light, and an extremely powerful and twisted force field erupted!
