Until now, Lin Ming wasn’t able to understand what the devils that the Netherworld Great Emperor killed were. These devils were naked, their skin a dark blue and gray metallic color, their entire bodies threaded with thick and angry muscles. Their entire bodies were clasped with large hoops, and there were even those that were wrapped in chains. They had devilish, exaggerated features and were incomparably ugly beings. They weren’t human at all.
As for the Netherworld Great Emperor, he was actually over 10 feet tall. His hair was a deep red, his skin a pale blue, and pupils a dark gold.
Although he had the face of a human, his height, skin, eyes… could there really be humans that grew up into that sort of appearance?
Lin Ming could never be sure if the Netherworld Great Emperor was human or not. Or perhaps, was this appearance the result of deeply cultivating the devil arts?
At the time, this scene had etched itself onto Lin Ming’s heart.
The Netherworld Great Emperor’s great axe pointed to the heavens, his feet stepped upon the earth. Within the universe, he alone ruled all! This overwhelmingly lordly spirit had caused Lin Ming’s heart to race.
And now, Lin Ming had truly felt the same kind of energy coming from Lei Mubai’s body.
This was demon energy… although it was very faint, there was no way he was wrong!
Was he… the descendant of the Netherworld Great Emperor?
This thought suddenly appeared in Lin Ming’s heart, leaving him absentminded for a moment.
If he was the descendant of the Netherworld Great Emperor, then what sort of concept would that be?
Was he… someone from the South Sea Demon Region!?!?
As Lin Ming thought of this possibility, all sorts of scenarios flashed in his mind. From Lei Jingtian’s destruction of the proposed alliance, to his self-confident smile, to when he had even supported Lei Mubai to propose marriage to Divine Phoenix Island… and all the way to now, Lei Mubai had even used the Blood Extinguishing Demon Thunder!
The Blood Extinguishing Demon Thunder didn’t have a problem in itself. Although it was considered evil, the evil factions within the Sky Spill Continent weren’t too clear. For instance, the Seven Profound Valleys’ Acacia Faction and Puppet Faction both practiced devil arts. As for Lin Ming, his Heretical God Force wasn’t an orthodox ability either.
But with the Blood Extinguishing Demon Thunder added with all the previous issues, Lin Ming had a guess!
And that was that this pale youth’s real name wasn’t Lei Mubai. In fact, that was just an alias he used within the Thundercrest Sect. He was most likely a very important character within the South Sea Demon Region!
There was too much at stake on this speculation; even Lin Ming couldn’t easily confirm it.
If he were right, then there would be nothing left of Lei Mubai. But if he were wrong, it would create a horrible mess. It might even cause the Thundercrest Sect to ally with the South Sea Demon Region!
Lin Ming suppressed his desire to tell Mu Qianyu of his guess. Instead, he calmed his mind and closed himself off until there was nothing left but his sense, using this to observe each and every action of Lei Mubai.
On the stage, Lei Mubai and Mu Xiaoqing’s battle was reaching its conclusion. Mu Xiaoqing was obviously not anywhere near being Lei Mubai’s match. She was stuck within the Blood Prison, and was completely unable to free herself.
As Lin Ming compared the aura that Lei Mubai emitted to the residual will of the Netherworld Great Emperor within the Shattered Demon Heart Crystal, he was increasingly sure that this Lei Mubai had a very close relation with the Netherworld Great Emperor, and was most likely a descendant of some sort. At the very least, he would be a person who cultivated the same kinds of devil arts as the Netherworld Great Emperor!
The South Sea Demon Region was at war with Divine Phoenix Island and would soon invade. Now, Lei Mubai had suddenly appeared at this time. In addition to all of Lei Jingtian’s various actions, this was enough to confirm the relation between Lei Mubai and the South Sea Demon Region. Otherwise, how could there be such a perfect coincidence in this world?
As Lin Ming made up his mind, he opened his eyes.
At this time, he witnessed Lei Mubai’s final strike.
Bang!
The crimson blood claw burst apart. Mu Xiaoqing spat out a mouthful of blood, and she flew backwards like a broken kite, her face paler than paper.
This was the home of Divine Phoenix Island. No matter how brave Lei Mubai was, he still wouldn’t dare to suck out Mu Xiaoqing’s blood essence. But this level of injury was enough for her to be bedridden for at least ten days.
The truth was that being bedridden for 10 days wasn’t too big of a deal. The crux of the issue was that Mu Xiaoqing’s confidence had suffered a heavy blow. In the future, this could possibly affect her cultivation.
