Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Return Of The Demon God

Space shattered before the five elemental spirits, and Li Yao emerged from the crack. The spirits instantly stood up respectfully when they saw her, staring at her nervously. Ever since they had come here, they’ve always felt like Li Yao’s hostages. Well, it wasn’t that far off since she practically kidnapped them.

"Let’s go," she said curtly as she turned back and stepped into the spatial tear without hesitation.

The spirits nodded obediently and followed her into the dimensional rift.

They all reappeared moments later in an open clearing outside the sect.

Li Yao turned to look at the spirits with a serious expression. "I don’t have time to play around with you lot, so I’ll go on ahead. When you’re done with your job, make sure to return here," Li Yao spoke authoritatively, leaving no room for argument.

The spirits nodded in understanding, and Li Yao was immediately swallowed by the space around her, disappearing into another spatial tear that sealed itself behind her.

When she was completely gone, the spirits finally sighed in collective relief. It was always so nerve-racking when interacting with the lightning spirit. Even though she was technically their ally, her overwhelming power and unpredictability made them incredibly uncomfortable. They then flew away together toward the direction of the dark lotus.

Meanwhile, deep inside the demon sealing tower at the hundredth floor, an ornate coffin’s heavy lid suddenly flew open.

The person inside slowly rose from his resting place.

He appeared to be in his mid-thirties, with striking red hair and two black horns protruding from his forehead, each tipped with crimson. Most notably, there was a huge gaping hole straight through his chest, but he didn’t seem to mind it at all, as if it didn’t exist.

He stretched out his fingers, as if calibrating them after a long period of being unable to use them properly.

"Looks like the time has finally come," he spoke, his voice deep.

"Hmm, it’s actually quite earlier than expected," he said with mild surprise, examining his surroundings.

"Well, no matter. That annoying girl is gone, so I can finally make my move," he said with satisfaction as he rose fully from his coffin.

"How many years has it been?" he asked rhetorically as his bare feet touched the cold stone ground.

He then summoned a dark aura that swirled around his body before forming into dark robes that covered up his body.

He walked up to the solid wall of the tower. Although there were no windows or openings, he could clearly see through the walls. He watched with amusement as the mindless demons charged repeatedly at the sect’s protective barrier, only to collide violently and get splattered across its surface.

He smiled in satisfaction as he stretched out his hand. The demonic creatures splattered against the barrier started vibrating intensely, then began sinking into the ground as if the earth were swallowing them whole. Suddenly, a concentrated dark ball of qi appeared in his outstretched palm.

"The formation is quite decent. It’s difficult even for me to bypass without alerting the creator," he thought.

He then settled into a meditative posture and started absorbing the dark energy ball. As the energy flowed into him, the gaping injury in his chest slowly began to heal.

He stretched out his hand again, and more demons from outside the barrier vibrated and sunk into the ground, creating another concentrated energy ball in his palm. As he absorbed it, he thought to himself that his master had been really thorough in her preparations.

Did she really have to injure him this seriously? Well, he supposed it made sense from her perspective. If he hadn’t been so severely wounded, he might not have slept until the right time and would have likely devoured this entire mortal planet prematurely, he mused as he licked his lips with anticipation.

He thought to himself that he just needed to absorb enough corrupted energy to recover some meaningful strength. About Void realm level would be sufficient for his current plans. Although that was pathetically weak compared to his true peak power, it would be enough to get the job done. Besides, there was simply no way he could recover his full strength in this run-down place.

He then glanced in another direction with calculating eyes. "If I can devour that flower, maybe I can enter the Mahayana realm," he thought. Although that level was also relatively weak, he’d at least be able to venture out and devour several thousand worlds to recover the rest of his original power.

"Maybe I’ll do that after I’m done here," he thought.

...

But Li Yao didn’t pay them any attention and simply departed, disappearing into the distance without acknowledging their thanks. _{freew\e bnovel.com}
