Chapter 587 - 489: Demon Skin Coat (Second Update)
"My god, is it really it?"
When You Bo and the others saw the being inside the coffin, they were all shaken.
Subsequently, they fell to their knees in front of the coffin with a loud slap.
"What is going on?" Even Yang Tian was no fool. He looked toward the being within the coffin and thought to himself, "Could it be that this being is the true Celestial Demon King?"
On the other hand, You Bo and the others, seeing Yang Tian standing there without any intention of kneeling, couldn't help but say, "Boss, this is none other than our Demon King..."
Yang Tian nodded and said calmly, "I am naturally aware."
The group, seeing Yang Tian standing there with a cold expression, stopped paying attention to him.
Meanwhile, Yang Tian directed his Divine Sense towards the being inside the coffin.
Although this being was the Demon King, it clearly had significant differences from the typical Celestial Demon, notably the three sharp horns on its forehead.
Even Wu Tiandu didn't have any sharp horns on his forehead.
Thinking of Wu Tiandu, Yang Tian's heart sneered, "Wu Tiandu always claims to be the Demon King, but obviously, the real Demon King is someone else. At best, Wu Tiandu can only be considered an existence beneath the Demon King!"
At the same time, Yang Tian considered another point.
If the being before him was truly the Celestial Demon King, then what had happened to this being?
Why would the dignified Celestial Demon King be lying here?
Was it dead?
Or something else?
Suddenly, Yang Tian thought of the Demon Star displayed on the Demon Platform: "Could it be that this Demon King went to a place outside the Celestial Demon Domain to search for the Demon Star?"
Yang Tian had heard that powerful cultivators could achieve Soul Emergence.
Could it be that this Demon King had also undergone Soul Emergence to search for the Demon Star?
Thinking this, Yang Tian became more cautious.
Soon, Yang Tian noticed something peculiar about the Demon King's body.
The Demon King lay there very peacefully, yet Yang Tian felt a faint warmth from its skin, a warmth so weak that Yang Tian could barely sense it.
If this being had been lying in the coffin for a long time, how could it produce warmth?
Yang Tian stepped forward, drew the Holy Sword, and gently lifted.
Instantly, with a flick on the being's arm, Yang Tian lifted up a piece of outer skin.
"Oh? Could this be the Demon King's Demon Skin garb?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.
He extended his hand, drawing it towards the Demon King's body.
Bam!
At that moment, something astonishing happened.
The Demon Skin garb on the Demon King was suddenly absorbed by Yang Tian.
In an instant, the body of the Demon King vanished, leaving only a block of wood in its place.
"What is going on?"
You Bo and the others' expressions changed.
They stared intently at the scene.
Holding the Demon Skin garb, Yang Tian looked towards the block of wood inside the coffin.
Soon, he understood: "If I'm correct, this should be the Demon King's Demon Skin garb. The Demon King likely went to search for the Demon Star and deliberately draped his Demon Skin garb over a block of wood to create the illusion that he is still here."
Upon hearing this, the group's expressions became even more surprised.
"So, the Demon King isn't dead and went to search for the Demon Star?"
You Bo cautiously asked.
Yang Tian didn't answer You Bo, for at that moment, he sensed a crisis.
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Suddenly, four deafening roars sounded.
Yang Tian turned his head, his expression sinking: "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters?"
"Monsters?"
The group also turned their heads, seeing five creatures with blood-red eyes appear behind them. Their expressions changed, filled with terror: "Why are there five such monsters here? What's going to happen? Are we going to die here?"
"These monsters must have appeared when the coffin was opened." After a pause, Yang Tian said, "You all should escape now."
"Escape?"
The group was momentarily stunned.
But You Bo was the first to react, realizing that apart from Yang Tian, no one else could contend with these monsters.
Thus, he was the first to rush out.
"Escape immediately!"
The remaining five men and women ran for their lives, fleeing outside.
However, these monsters were even faster than the five of them.
The monsters' bodies were covered in blood-red eyes, and they were exceptionally agile, quickly closing in on You Bo and the others from behind.
Clang!
The sound of a blade slicing through the void was heard.
A hint of confusion flashed in Yang Tian's eyes as he looked towards the monsters, only to see that their hands had transformed into sharp claws.
The claws tore ferociously.
Bam!
Instantly, You Bo was ripped apart alive.
"Help me..."
The remaining five men and women, faces pale, desperately fled in all directions.
But it was too late for them.
The monsters caught up, their sharp claws tearing savagely.
The five men and women were ripped into two, blood splattering everywhere, staining the ground.
The five monsters landed on the ground, their pairs of blood-red eyes fixed on Yang Tian, their gaze then falling on the Demon Skin garb.
From their eyes, Yang Tian could see a fervent desire.
"It seems you beasts also want this Demon Skin garb?"
Yang Tian asked with interest.
"Grr..."
The monsters emitted low growls.
But clearly, they appeared to sense Yang Tian's fearsome aura and hesitated to make a move.
Screech!
From a distance, an eerie sound echoed, prompting the five monsters to reluctantly glance at the Demon Skin garb before fleeing towards the Spirit Chamber, disappearing without a trace shortly after.
Yang Tian's gaze fell upon the Demon Skin garb.
"Even the monsters are interested in this Demon Skin garb. I fear this garb is quite a treasure?"
Yang Tian picked it up.
When the Demon Skin garb touched his hand, a flash of light infused with Demon Breath appeared.
Suddenly, the Demon Skin garb slapped onto Yang Tian's body.
"What is happening?"
Yang Tian looked down, noticing his arms had become rough and strong.
He then looked toward his chest, discovering it was covered in fur.
Using a Spirit Talisman as a mirror, he looked at his appearance, realizing, unbeknownst to him, his forehead now had three sharp horns, and his appearance had completely transformed into that of the Demon King.
"Could it be I've already donned the Demon King's Demon Skin garb?"
Yang Tian exclaimed in surprise.
However, when he attempted to remove the Demon Skin garb, he found he couldn't do so at all.
He shook his head and proceeded to walk out.
Emerging from the basement, Yang Tian headed towards the Celestial Demon Dungeon.
From a distance, he saw a group of Celestial Demon Martial Guards rushing over with stern expressions. Before they reached him, they shouted sternly, "We just received word that the human in the stone prison escaped..."
Before they could finish, they saw Yang Tian's appearance.
Immediately, their expressions changed drastically, all kneeling down: "Demon King!!!"
