Realm of the Night God

In one breath, Duda swallowed the Death Mark Seal, and the power emanating from his body instantly intensified, while the Yin Qi on the surface of his body, once weak, now became intense.

Despite the enhanced power, Duda, like Deng Feng, couldn't withstand the immense force unleashed by the Death Mark Seal. Cracks appeared on the surface of his body, and blood oozed out continuously.

In comparison to Duda and Deng Feng, Yang Haoran, who had consumed two Death Mark Seals, was in a worse situation. The violent power erupted within him, causing numerous cracks on his body, as if it were about to burst.

Although Yang Haoran was experiencing tremendous pain at the moment, the gains were astonishing. His Yin spirit power was rapidly increasing at an unimaginable speed.

Currently under the control of Zhong Siyu, Yang Haoran bore the agony of swallowing two Death Mark Seals alone. Zhong Siyu remained unaffected by this ordeal.

The fact that Yang Haoran did not burst from consuming two Death Mark Seals was due to several reasons. Firstly, he had not suffered significant injuries before. Secondly, the first Death Mark Seal he ingested contained a massive amount of blood essence, which not only caused no harm but also significantly enhanced his physical strength in an instant.

Another crucial factor was Zhong Siyu reinforcing his body with a substantial amount of Yin Qi. Without these factors, Yang Haoran's condition would be much worse than just having cracks on his body.

With a sinister grin on his face, Yang Haoran controlled the abundant Yin Qi to repair the cracks on his body's surface. Simultaneously, he made another move, attempting to seize all the remaining Death Mark Seals.

Despite Duda's unfavorable physical condition at the moment, Yang Haoran chose to target Deng Feng instead. The reason being, Duda didn't have any Death Mark Seals in his possession, while Deng Feng still had several around his body.

Seeing that Yang Haoran's target was the Death Mark Seal, Deng Feng was furious. In a short time, he had already lost four Death Mark Seals, with three of them being swallowed by Yang Haoran. However, Yang Haoran seemed unsatisfied and aimed to snatch the remaining Death Mark Seals!

When he realized it, Yin Qi had already entangled all the Death Mark Seals, leaving him no chance to retrieve them!

Witnessing the Death Mark Seal being entangled again by Yin Qi, Deng Feng, of course, did not want to see Yang Haoran succeed. Enduring the imminent collapse of his body, he swung his bone blade at the Yin Qi once again!

With this swing, Deng Feng's hands couldn't endure the strain and suddenly exploded!

Flesh and blood flew, bones were visible, and Deng Feng's hands, holding the bone blade, became a bloody blur. Only a few muscles still clung to the bones, presenting a gruesome and nauseating sight!

The immense pain distorted his entire face, but Deng Feng, tough as he was, didn't let out a scream. His body, however, involuntarily trembled, revealing the extent of the agony he was going through!

This strike severed the Yin Qi used by Yang Haoran to seize the Death Mark Seal. However, one Death Mark Seal still fell into Yang Haoran's hands.

Watching Yang Haoran recklessly swallow this Death Mark Seal, Deng Feng spat out three mouthfuls of blood in succession, letting out a deeply resentful howl!

The Death Mark Seals he had painstakingly obtained were now the target of someone else's plunder. Despite his fierce resistance, he could only watch as the Death Mark Seals around him dwindled one by one.

What was more infuriating was that the opponent didn't give him any chance to retract these Death Mark Seals!

Helpless and angry, Deng Feng had just interrupted Yang Haoran, and Duda, the old fox, took the opportunity to make his move. Like Yang Haoran, his target was not Deng Feng but the Death Mark Seals surrounding Deng Feng's body!

Deng Feng wanted to stop him, but at this moment, he not only lacked the time but also the ability. If he could have a little more time, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state after swallowing another Death Mark Seal!

Helplessly watching as Duda seized all the remaining Death Mark Seals, Deng Feng let out a heart-wrenching scream, filled with sorrow and despair.

No matter how many calculations were made, in the end, a single move fell short. Just when it seemed his years of planning were about to succeed, on the verge of a breakthrough in the Earth Soul, an unexpected variable occurred, leaving him utterly unwilling.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, in the current situation, he was powerless to change it.

Before Deng Feng's scream could fade away, Yang Haoran suddenly appeared behind him. His right hand had grown long nails, resembling sharp knives shimmering with a chilling light. Taking advantage of Deng Feng's grief and anger, he swiftly struck, piercing through Deng Feng's chest!

Deng Feng's agonized scream abruptly stopped. As he lowered his head to his chest, a bloody hand was seen gripping a still-beating heart!

In Deng Feng's eyes, fear instantly replaced shock. However, before he could speak, the bloody hand directly crushed his heart.

Yang Haoran violently pulled out his hand. Simultaneously, a surge of Yin Qi separated from Yang Haoran's body surface and penetrated Deng Feng's body.

In the brief span of a breath, this Yin Qi forcibly extracted Deng Feng's soul and the two Death Mark Seals!

Among the two Death Mark Seals, one emitted an extremely powerful energy fluctuation, while the other seemed slightly dimmer.

The one with the intense energy fluctuation was Deng Feng's Death Mark Seal, the source of his Burial Master powers, hence possessing formidable strength.

The other Death Mark Seal was the one Deng Feng had forcibly swallowed just moments ago. Although it appeared somewhat dimmer, its emitted energy fluctuation remained strong.

Surprisingly, Deng Feng's soul, after forcibly coalescing, did not fall into a slumber. Perhaps Zhong Siyu's methods were skilled, or Deng Feng had made preparations during his lifetime. After successfully coalescing his soul, Deng Feng's consciousness remained clear.

Filled with unwillingness and anger, Deng Feng's soul attempted to escape this place. However, Yang Haoran, wearing a malicious grin, swiftly sucked in. He not only swallowed the two Death Mark Seals but also didn't spare Deng Feng's soul, devouring it all in one breath!

Deng Feng's lifeless eyes stared, and his body fell from the sky. At this moment, he was completely lifeless, not only suffering a destructive blow to his physical body but also having his soul devoured by Yang Haoran!

Unlike Death Mark Seals, Yang Haoran could absorb the power within them to enhance himself. However, souls were different; once swallowed, they brought only harm and no benefits to Yang Haoran.

Currently, though, Deng Feng's soul had no impact on Yang Haoran after being swallowed. This was because Zhong Siyu had actually devoured Deng Feng's soul, utilizing Yang Haoran's body as a vessel.

However, due to swallowing too many Death Mark Seals, especially Deng Feng's powerful Burial Master Death Mark Seal, Yang Haoran's body could not endure it. Like Deng Feng before him, cracks covered his body densely, and even his flesh and blood started to peel away!

Yang Haoran cursed Zhong Siyu in his heart, finding Zhong Siyu's control over his body absurd. If this continued, in just a moment's time, he would end up like Deng Feng!

Yet, upon careful consideration, he realized it didn't matter much. After all, he wouldn't survive the night. Zhong Siyu could mess around with his body however he pleased, and now that Deng Feng was dead, his soul devoured by Zhong Siyu, he had nothing more to lose.

Having Deng Feng as a scapegoat made him feel less regretful about his impending death. After all, Deng Feng was a Burial Master, a status far superior to his own.

If Zhong Siyu could control his body to kill Duda next, that would be even better!

However, Yang Haoran was aware that achieving this might be difficult because there were soul-scattering needles planted by Duda within his body!
