A Man Like None Other Novel Chapter 5908
Chapter 5908
Huo Ling’er formed hand seals, unleashing the fire control technique from the Earth Fire True Scripture. Crimson-gold Earth Fire True Flame condensed in her palms, transforming into dozens of fire snakes that coiled around the surrounding flying lizards.
Earth Fire True Flame was far superior to ordinary flames; the flames spewed by the flying lizards, upon touching it, retreated like subjects before a king. The fire snakes seized the opportunity to burrow into the flying lizards’ bodies, burning them from the inside.
In a short time, dozens of crimson flame flying lizards were wiped out.
“Not bad, Ling’er’s Earth Fire True Flame is becoming increasingly proficient,” David praised.
Huo Ling’er’s pretty face flushed slightly: “I’m still far behind you, David.”
“Let’s continue,” said the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord.
The three continued their descent.
Deep within the Earth’s Core Abyss, the temperature had risen to an alarming level.
The surrounding rock walls were no longer simply dark red, but had taken on a near-molten, translucent state, like the slowly writhing entrails of a colossal beast.
The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, almost tangible, making each breath feel like swallowing flames.
The faint, lingering smell of decay further unsettled the mind, as if countless eyes were watching from the shadows.
David and his companions had just dealt with the seventh wave of Fire Poison Spiders.
Each of these spiders was the size of a millstone, entirely crimson, with strange black patterns covering their carapaces.
The silk they spit out was not only incredibly tough but also contained potent fire poison; once touched, one’s immortal power would be rapidly eroded.
Even David had struggled to remove them all.
Now, the three of them rested briefly on a relatively flat black platform formed from cooled lava.
Huo Ling’er sat cross-legged, took out a cool blue pill and swallowed it, her pale complexion improving slightly.
She wiped away the beads of sweat that kept seeping from her forehead; the sweat almost evaporated in the high temperature.
“David, since just now, I’ve felt… like something is watching us.”
“That feeling… sticky, very uncomfortable,”
Huo Ling’er said.
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord didn’t sit down,
His heavy demonic body seemed somewhat sluggish in the high temperature. Hearing this, he nodded, his voice low: “I feel the same way.” “
And this aura… I feel like I’ve encountered it somewhere before, cold, greedy, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.”
David didn’t speak.
He stood at the edge of the platform, looking down at the rolling dark red river of lava below, his brows furrowed.
After breaking through to the third rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm, his divine sense underwent a qualitative change, not only covering a wider range, but also becoming more acute and refined in his perception of energy and aura.
At this moment, he quietly circulated his Chaotic Immortal Power, his divine sense spreading outwards in all directions like countless invisible tentacles,
penetrating every inch of the rock wall, every crack, sensing the subtle fluctuations masked by the high temperature and chaotic energy.
The roar of flowing magma, the subtle cracking sounds of rocks expanding due to the high temperature, the occasional roars of unknown ferocious beasts from the depths… countless
sounds and energy fluctuations were filtered and analyzed by him.
Suddenly, his divine sense detected an anomaly.
About three hundred feet to his left, behind a seemingly ordinary rock wall, an extremely subtle yet vast and chilling energy was slowly awakening.
The nature of that energy was very familiar to him; it carried a hatred and greed originating from the depths of his soul.
“There really is something…” David suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp ,
razor-sharp glint flashed in his deep eyes, as if it could pierce through thick layers of rock.
“And…it’s an old acquaintance of ours.”
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words,
“Crack…crack crack…”
The rock wall he had locked onto with his divine sense suddenly emitted a strange sound.
The originally hard, dark red rock, covered with melting marks, now seemed to have gained life, unnaturally writhing and undulating!
The patterns on the rock surface twisted and rearranged, the color deepened, quickly outlining the contours of facial features.
In a few breaths, a huge, twisted, and ferocious human face grew on the rock wall!
That face almost occupied half of the cliff face, its eye sockets being two bottomless black holes.
At this moment, however, two eerie green flames suddenly ignited, leaping and flickering like will-o’-the-wisps.
A bizarre, exaggerated grin spread across its lips, revealing jagged teeth, also composed of rock.
It was the signature face of the Soul Devourer!
“Hehehe…”
A piercing laugh, like the scraping of rusty iron or countless sandpaper scraping against one’s ears, emanated from its massive maw.
The laughter echoed in the narrow abyss, adding to its sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
“David… what a coincidence!”
“I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon.”
“It seems even the Heavenly Dao is favoring me, delivering this great gift to my lips.”
Huo Ling’er and the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord instantly felt their hair stand on end, immediately shifting from a resting state to maximum alert.
Huo Ling’er drew her crimson longsword, its blade igniting with scorching earth fire.
The Crimson Cloud Demon Lord roared, his demonic body expanding, his ferocious three-headed, six-armed form reappearing.
The demonic weapons in his six hands hummed, their demonic energy surging.
Only David remained standing, not even drawing his sword.
He merely tilted his head slightly, calmly gazing at the enormous ghostly face on the rock wall with a scrutinizing, even slightly mocking, look.
His gaze didn’t seem to be looking at a demon lord who had struck fear into the hearts of ten thousand years ago, but rather at a clumsy actor’s performance.
“Soul Devourer,” David spoke, his voice low but clearly piercing through the grating laughter.
It carried an icy chill: “Your life is indeed tougher than a cockroach’s.”
“You fled from the Ninth Heaven like a stray dog to the Tenth Heaven, and then fled here in a panic.”
“What, this perpetually dark, magma-filled, poisonous abyss of the Earth’s Core Demon Abyss, does it suit your status as a ten-thousand-year-old wandering ghost?”
“It seems your taste, like your appearance, is utterly unappealing.”
