I ignored his shouting and focused even more on channeling the power of devouring. My original injuries quickly healed under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and an unprecedented surge of strength flowed within me, as if a slumbering giant beast was about to awaken.
Su Xiaoyu was astonished to find that the spiritual pressure originally enveloping Lin Hen began to dissipate at a visibly rapid pace, replaced by an even more powerful and domineering aura. This aura felt both familiar and unfamiliar to her, as if it came from ancient times, filled with primal and destructive power.
A thought crossed her mind, and she discreetly took out a small jade pendant from her sleeve. This pendant had been given to her by the Judge Lord, an informant she had within Yama Palace, possessing the magical ability to transmit messages.
She quietly infused spiritual energy into the pendant, using a special frequency that only spiritual entities could receive, transmitting everything happening here along with Lin Hen's plan. After completing this, she raised her head, her gaze towards Lin Hen now filled with determination and hope.
" Lin Hen, are you ready?" Su Xiaoyu asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.
I opened my eyes, a cold smile curling at the corners of my mouth. "Of course, I can't wait to see just how spectacular the expression on this White Impermanence's face will be..."
Before I finished speaking, my figure flickered and instantly appeared in front of White Impermanence. My fingers clawed like talons, carrying the momentum to tear everything apart as I fiercely lunged toward his chest.
White Impermanence clearly did not expect me to suddenly attack. Caught off guard, he could only watch helplessly as my hand reached for his heart.
With lightning speed, I struck out; my fingers bore down like steel claws towards White Impermanence's heart. The smile on his face froze instantly as he leaned back sharply, narrowly avoiding my attack. However, his chest was still torn open by my sharp nails, leaving three bloody claw marks.
"You..." White Impermanence clutched his chest, his face pale and filled with shock and anger. He never expected that Lin Hen, whom he had just been toying with moments ago, would unleash such terrifying power in an instant.
"Surprised? Is it unexpected?" I sneered coldly, shaking off the blood on my hand. "This is the price you pay for underestimating me!"
" Lin Hen!" Seeing this, Su Xiaoyu immediately threw out a shimmering golden talisman from her sleeve. The talisman expanded in the wind and transformed into a massive golden net that ensnared the caught-off-guard White Impermanence.
"Damn it!" White Impermanence roared as he swung his folding fan violently. A powerful surge of spiritual energy turned into a fierce wind attempting to tear apart the golden net. However, this talisman was personally crafted by the Judge Lord; it wouldn't be so easily broken.
"Stop wasting your effort." I stepped closer to the trapped White Impermanence, a cold glint in my eyes. "Tell me, who sent you? Where is my father now?!"
"Hmph, want to know the answer? Maybe in your next life!" White Impermanence gritted his teeth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, splattering it onto the golden light net.
The golden light net trembled violently, on the verge of being corroded by White Impermanence's essence blood. A chill ran through me; I knew I could not delay any longer and had to act swiftly!
"Grip of Gluttony!" I roared, feeling the Gluttony bloodline within me surge wildly. A powerful devouring force transformed into a massive black vortex, enveloping both White Impermanence and the golden light net.
"Ah—" White Impermanence let out a piercing scream as his spiritual power surged into the black vortex like a flood breaking through a dam, his body visibly shrinking.
Seeing this, the black-clad figures around us drew their weapons and charged at me.
"Seeking death!" I snorted coldly and struck back with a palm. A powerful wave of spiritual energy transformed into an invisible shockwave, sending the frontmost attackers flying.
"Su Xiaoyu, leave this to me; you handle the others!" I instructed without looking back, my figure turning into an afterimage as I weaved through the black-clad figures. Each punch and palm strike carried overwhelming force, knocking them down one by one.
Su Xiaoyu did not hesitate; she knew this was not the time for doubt. Lin Hen was engaged in battle with a formidable enemy, and she had to do her best to relieve some of that pressure.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly formed hand seals while chanting incantations, her fingertips glowing with spiritual light.
"All souls heed my command, come forth swiftly!" With her commanding shout, wisps of green smoke suddenly emerged from the bodies of the black-clad figures that Lin Hen had defeated. These wisps rapidly coalesced into grotesque evil spirits that howled as they lunged at the remaining attackers.
In an instant, the already chaotic scene became even more disordered. The black-clad figures were terrified by the sudden appearance of the evil spirits, their formation collapsing in panic.
Seizing this opportunity, I finally devoured all of White Impermanence's spiritual power. Without any support from his spiritual energy, White Impermanence collapsed to the ground like an aged man, his eyes hollow and devoid of life.
I grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground, gritting my teeth as I asked, "Tell me, who sent you?! Where is my father?!"
White Impermanence gave a weak smile and hoarsely replied, "Cough... If you want to know the answer... then... join the 【Yama Palace】... Once you truly become... one of us... you will naturally know everything..."
"You..." My anger flared up, and just as I was about to press him further, I suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching at an astonishing speed.
My heart sank; I knew the newcomer was not friendly. I threw White Impermanence to the ground and turned to run towards Su Xiaoyu.
====================
At that moment, Su Xiaoyu had already controlled several evil spirits to subdue the remaining men in black. When she saw me rushing towards her, a hint of relief appeared on her face. However, before that smile could fully form, it turned into terror.
"Watch out!" she shouted, suddenly tackling me to the ground.
Boom—
With a loud crash, a dark figure fell from the sky and landed heavily where we had been standing, creating a massive pit in the ground. Debris flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and I was stunned by the impact, my ears ringing. Before I could react, an overwhelming pressure enveloped me, making it hard to breathe.
"Is this the leader of 【Yama Palace】? So strong..." I thought in shock as I struggled to get up from the ground, shielding Su Xiaoyu behind me.
