"Haha~ You old bone have broken through, I naturally can't fall behind."
The sinister voice arrived even faster. As soon as the words fell, a massive figure blocked Yang Hong.
With a flash of sword light, Yang Hong dodged to the left.
But...
"Stinky corpse, this human is mine, I found him first!"
Before Yang Hong could rejoice at his narrow escape, a giant palm descended from the sky, grabbing him.
Yang Hong was caught without any chance to react.
This was the gap in strength!
This was the true power of these True Demons.
And these were True Demons who had been sealed, their strength reduced by many times.
His previous ability to devour two True Demons had been largely due to luck.
There were even elements of Heavenly Dao's assistance.
Yang Hong discovered that the sense of danger he felt abruptly ceased when he was captured, ending quite suddenly.
It was as if his connection to heaven and earth had been severed.
"Woe is me~"
Yang Hong sighed mournfully and activated his strongest intent, [Guardian], in an attempt to resist.
"Hahaha~ This little ant is interesting, actually comprehending an intent.
Only souls like this are flavorful when eaten."
Yang Hong's attack caused no damage to the bone True Demon's hand.
"Ke Hong Gu, this brat's soul is yours, but don't damage his physical body, I want that."
Just as Yang Hong detonated his Kui Shui Fen Guang Sword, opening a slight gap in the bone True Demon's palm,
another terrifying demonic pressure descended upon him.
"Heh heh~ Ke Tong, you have a good idea. You want to possess and be reborn, don't you?"
The bone True Demon, Ke Hong Gu, chuckled disdainfully, then threw Yang Hong into his mouth.
Although it was a skull mouth, the moment Yang Hong was thrown in, he felt completely bound.
Not only could he not move a single finger, but even the speed of his thoughts slowed significantly.
"Ke Hong Gu, isn't it good for us to each get what we need?
Why create conflict?"
The demonic corpse True Demon, Ke Tong, rushed in front of Ke Hong Gu, his expression sincere, but his gaze was fixed on Ke Hong Gu's hand, his divine sense scanning Yang Hong within unreservedly.
As he watched, Ke Tong actually began to salivate.
Ke Hong Gu's empty eye sockets flickered with a sharp light. He suddenly looked up at Ke Tong.
"Ke Tong, you insidious old devil, have you discovered some secret?"
"Heh heh~ No secret, I'm just craving this body's soul.
His soul is too pure, too delicious."
"Oh~ If that's the case, this soul is yours, and I'll take the physical body."
As these words fell, Yang Hong felt a powerful force stripping away his soul.
In the space of a breath, Yang Hong's soul slowly rose from his head.
He could already see his physical body with his soul.
"No~ No~ How can I snatch what others desire?
The soul still belongs to you, Ke Hong Gu. I only want this body, which is worthless in spirit stones."
The demonic corpse True Demon, Ke Tong, waved his hands repeatedly, as if refusing Ke Hong Gu's kind offer.
However, he used his divine sense to interfere with Ke Hong Gu's technique, causing Yang Hong's soul to return to his body.
"Hahaha, this human body indeed has a problem.
This body is mine, and the soul is also mine."
Ke Hong Gu said, then instantly vanished from his spot and fled.
"Ke Hong Gu, you don't know how to use this body. Give me this body,
and I'll take you out of this seal together."
Ke Tong shouted and chased after him.
"Heh heh~ You are a True Demon, and I am also a True Demon. Our cultivation is similar, I can discover the secret of this body myself."
Ke Hong Gu was not stupid. He used escape techniques to increase his speed and distance himself.
However, this secret realm was not that large, at least for two True Demons. They could traverse it several times in a quarter of an hour.
Yang Hong, who was inside Ke Hong Gu's mouth, was dumbfounded.
This Demon Sealing Secret Realm spanned hundreds of millions of miles,
but at the speed of these two True Demons, it only took a quarter of an hour to circle it more than twice.
The two True Demons chased each other in the Demon Sealing Secret Realm like children playing hide-and-seek for an unknown amount of time.
"Ke Tong, you bastard, you're tricking me!"
Just as Ke Hong Gu was moving rapidly, he suddenly stumbled and fell.
"Haha~ You big傻大个 (silly big guy), don't you look where you're running?"
It turned out that at some point, Ke Tong had used demonic corpses to set up a trap on the ground, tripping Ke Hong Gu.
Now, massive numbers of demonic corpses were climbing onto his body, filling the gaps between his bones.
"Bastard! What are you doing? Are you trying to devour me too?"
"Heh heh~ Silly big guy, you guessed right, but there's no prize."
Ke Tong taunted, and then pounced onto Ke Hong Gu.
Ke Hong Gu was a bone demon, a pure skeleton;
while Ke Tong was a demonic corpse, similar to a zombie, possessing not only a body but also bones.
One by one, the demonic corpses that had been lying in wait, under Ke Tong's command, quickly melted into masses of minced meat, covering Ke Hong Gu.
"Ke Tong, you stinking meat, you dare to devour me? Do you really think your strength can crush me?"
Ke Hong Gu would not wait to be slaughtered. With a surge of immense divine sense, the bone demons that had been roaming aimlessly all flew towards this location.
"Heh heh~ I don't need to devour you immediately, just suppressing you for a while is enough."
Ke Tong's voice actually came from one of Ke Hong Gu's eyes.
"Damn rotten bone, you want this human body?
Hmph~ I won't let you succeed."
Both being millennium-old demons, Ke Hong Gu instantly guessed Ke Tong's intention.
Subsequently, Yang Hong suffered.
The soul of the bone True Demon, Ke Hong Gu, directly pried open the cracks in his Dao Palace and entered his sea of consciousness.
"Rotten bone, you dare?"
With Ke Tong's angry roar, his soul also rushed into Yang Hong's sea of consciousness.
These two old demons had broken through the seal, merging their souls with their demonic bodies to form complete souls.
The power of their souls was far greater than the origin of the soul.
As soon as the two old demons' souls entered, Yang Hong's sea of consciousness became turbulent, and cracks appeared in the sky of his sea of consciousness.
[This is truly life-threatening!]
Yang Hong had only time to exclaim before he began chanting the [Purification Incantation].
"Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerate, comfort my body; my disciple's soul and spirit, the Five Viscera's profound darkness.
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, arrayed like guards; Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, guarding my true self."
Phantoms of the four spirits then appeared, stabilizing the Dao Palace,
but there was no extra power to purify the souls of the two True Demons.
"Haha~ A purple-golden sea of consciousness, and four spirits guarding it!
Stinking meat, your taste is excellent.
But this body is mine!"
"Rotten bone, survive first, then think about wanting this body.
Now your soul is mine too."
Before Ke Hong Gu could react, Ke Tong's soul dispersed and enveloped Ke Hong Gu's soul.
"Hmph, I'll refine this sea of consciousness first. Then this will be my territory.
At that time, who devours whom is not yet decided?"
Ke Hong Gu stomped his feet directly, shattering a part of the sea of consciousness. He merged his lower body into Yang Hong's sea of consciousness, and his gray-white soul aura began to pollute Yang Hong's sea of consciousness.
Simultaneously, Ke Tong's crimson soul aura also spread, polluting Yang Hong's sea of consciousness while devouring Ke Hong Gu's soul aura.
Yang Hong's sea of consciousness became the battlefield for two invading demonic paths.
And he, besides continuously chanting the Eight Great Daoist Incantations to stabilize his Dao Palace,
could only protect his soul from being devoured.
