Each Shadow Demon is still at the Nine-Star Demon Saint level.
Two hundred and fifty-six Shadow Demons surrounded Lanling. It was as if all the Shadow Demons were grinning, even though they couldn’t make a sound, their twisted and trembling shadows seed to be sneering.
The attack of the Shadow Demons is about to start!
Their only thod of attack is for their entire shadow to pass through Lanling’s body.
Such a simple attack, Lanling had no way to resist. Even the starlit armor couldn’t block their shadow penetration.
These bizarre Shadow Demons are truly invincible!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
One Shadow Demon after another charged at Lanling like lightning, penetrating his body once more.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
Lanling swung the Crow Crying Sword, slashing madly.
He could easily shatter a Shadow Demon, yet the shattered demons still remained, penetrating Lanling’s body as before.
And every ti one was shattered, it would start fissioning, one becoming two, two becoming four.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Hundreds of Shadow Demons attacked Lanling frantically!
Lanling swung the Crow Crying Sword, hacking wildly.
Dozens, then hundreds of Shadow Demons passed through Lanling’s body.
Lanling spat blood, his body went cold, losing consciousness.
When the one hundred thirty-ninth Shadow Demon penetrated Lanling, it finally shattered him completely...
"Boom!" Lanling’s body completely shattered, turning to dust, leaving only a spectral glow of his soul.
"No, no, no, no..." Lanling howled wildly!
In nearly two years of trials, Lanling always stuck to one principle: never self-destruct, never be shattered completely.
This ti, he was utterly shattered.
This ant his power regressed by a level.
From Nine-Star Demon Saint, he fell to Eight-Star Demon Saint.
"No, no, no..." Lanling shouted explosively.
By this ti, the number of Shadow Demons had increased to five hundred.
When Lanling was shattered, leaving only a spectral glow, the Shadow Demons paused, rely surrounded him without attacking.
Lanling’s spectral glow couldn’t attack or leave because he was surrounded tightly by the five hundred Shadow Demons.
After shattering, Lanling’s Golden Bloodline automatically released energy, reassembling and regenerating his body.
After several days and nights, Lanling’s body was completely restored, but his level had fallen to Eight-Star Demon Saint.
The mont his body recovered, all the Shadow Demons attacked again.
And Lanling fought back again, engaging in frenzied combat once more.
However, every attack he tried was completely in vain.
Lanling was shattered again, his level falling to Seven-Star Demon Saint. And the number of Shadow Demons increased to seven hundred.
Thus, he fought on in near despair.
...
Two hundred days passed!
Lanling was shattered again and again, each ti recovering fully, only to be shattered by countless Shadow Demons once more.
His power level kept dropping, and dropping...
Nine-Star Demon Saint, Eight-Star Demon Saint, Seven-Star Demon Saint...
Finally, he fell below the Demon Saint!
Yes, he fell directly below Demon Saint, regressing to Peak-Level Demon Venerable!
This two-hundred-day battle yielded Lanling no gains; his level regressed to Demon Venerable, weaker than when he first entered the Demonic Prison Secret Realm for training.
And the number of Shadow Demons had reached five thousand.
Indeed, a staggering five thousand.
Five thousand Shadow Demons, densely packed, surrounded Lanling in the center, forming a ruthless spectacle around him.
Indeed, this was the final layer of the trial!
Utterly despairing, it drove one mad!
The attack not only couldn’t eliminate the enemy but made them multiply.
It could be said, if Lanling were not a madman, he would have long since collapsed.
Facing such a despairing battle situation, facing the drop to the Demon Venerable level, anyone else would have collapsed long ago, even committed suicide.
But Lanling beca calm instead!
Having fallen below Demon Venerable, he had nothing more to lose.
And this ti, the Crow Crying Sword did nothing; its wonder seed to have vanished completely.
Falling below Demon Venerable, before the Golden Bloodline could restore his body, Lanling did sothing.
His spectral glow suddenly plunged into the Crow Crying Sword!
Because once he was shattered, the Golden Bloodline would inevitably reform and restore his body, which couldn’t be stopped.
Continuing like this, Lanling would be shattered repeatedly, ultimately losing all his power, becoming an ordinary person, as weak as Lanling from Earth, and finally dying completely.
So, he stopped this dreadful situation by rging his soul into the Crow Crying Sword.
He was rely attempting; he didn’t know if the Crow Crying Sword could hold his spectral glow. It turned out, it could!
...
Lanling’s soul hid inside the Crow Crying Sword, beginning ditation!
The trial on the ninth layer of the secret realm must not be forced through physically; it can only be done strategically!
What are Shadow Demons?
They are rely shadows, possibly even Lanling’s own shadows.
Shadows can’t be killed, they fear no attack; they are two-dinsional, while Lanling is three-dinsional. How can a three-dinsional creature attack a two-dinsional one?
Within the special energy environnt of the ninth layer secret realm, shadows gained life, becoming terrifying and unsolvable energy beings. Once attacked, they automatically split and replicate.
Then how should one eliminate shadows?
Attacking is impossible; no attack can hurt a shadow.
Think back to how shadows are eliminated in reality?
Simply, overlapping with another shadow, using another shadow to cover. Thus, the previous shadow disappears, is swallowed.
You can only use a shadow to battle a Shadow Demon!
In this way, the battle might beco simple.
When Lanling’s body reconverged once again, under strong light, there would definitely be a shadow.
Before the Shadow Demons attack, he projected his soul into his own shadow. Then, controlling his shadow to battle, to devour these Shadow Demons.
In the real world, Lanling wouldn’t be able to project his soul into his own shadow. But in the ninth layer secret realm, it’s possible, because of the mysterious and bizarre energy environnt here.
Yes, that’s how it will be done!
...
Having decided on the strategy!
Lanling’s soul imdiately flew out of the Crow Crying Sword, and the Golden Bloodline quickly reconvened and restored his body.
After ten days and nights, Lanling’s body was restored once more!
Indeed, under the strong light, his shadow was cast onto the ground.
Before the Shadow Demons attacked, Lanling’s soul imdiately left his body, injecting into his shadow on the ground!
"Whoosh..."
He succeeded!
Lanling’s soul entered his shadow, and though his body remained still, he could control his shadow’s movents.
His shadow lifted from the ground, becoming a brand-new Shadow Demon.
Lanling’s shadow began battling countless Shadow Demons.
Countless Shadow Demons attacked it frantically...
Their attack thod was still so simple, using direct penetration tactics.
But as these Shadow Demons penetrated Lanling’s shadow, they disappeared, directly rging with Lanling’s shadow.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Lanling controlled his shadow, swiftly penetrating and devouring these Shadow Demons.
Like a snake ravenous with hunger, Lanling’s shadow frenetically devoured these Shadow Demons.
The Shadow Demons within the secret realm diminished rapidly.
Devour a hundred, three hundred, five hundred, one thousand, three thousand, five thousand...
Half an hour later!
The five thousand Shadow Demons vanished, leaving only one!
An incredibly huge Shadow Demon, over a thousand ters big.
This Shadow Demon was the shadow controlled by Lanling’s soul, an embodint of himself.
This Lanling Shadow Demon had devoured the energy of five thousand Nine-Star Demon Saints, incredibly astounding!
Finally, it was ti to return!
"Whoosh..."
Lanling controlled this massive Shadow Demon, thrusting it into his body.
"Whoosh..."
Lanling felt his body swelling incessantly.
His power level was surging almost wildly.
Having fallen below Demon Venerable before, now he rapidly returned to Demon Saint, One-Star Demon Saint, Two-Star Demon Saint...
Nine-Star Demon Saint...Peak-Level Demon Saint...
He had already surpassed the Peak-Level Demon Saint, yet still had so much energy!
Yao Xing said, "Master, the energy within you has far surpassed the Sub-King level, only needing a single energy factor to explode instantly, soaring to Sub-King! Maybe even beyond Initial Sub-King!"
