Chapter 119: Welcoming the Demon Lord's Return to the Five Realms (End of Chapter)
Chapter 119: Welcoming the Demon Lord's Return to the Five Realms (End of Chapter)
Compared to ninth-realm experts, those in the tenth realm had their perception enhanced significantly.
Take Tian Jianzi as an example. If he wanted to, he could envelop the entire Tianjian Sect with his spiritual sense.
During the blockade of the mountain gate, Tian Jianzi kept his spiritual sense active at all times to ensure that no information leaked out.
With this method, even a fly wouldn't be able to escape his notice as long as it was within the boundaries of the Tianjian Sect.
Just then, Tian Jianzi keenly sensed a faint presence escaping through a secret passage, quickly leaving the Tianjian Sect.
"Hmpf."
"Seeking death."
Tian Jianzi coldly huffed.
Then, to the shock of the other powerful experts present, he raised his right hand and flicked his finger.
Boom! A terrifying sword intent condensed and transformed into a tiny sword the size of a palm. In the instant it appeared, it vanished from its original location.
At the edge of the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate, Shi Tu, the guardian, tiptoed cautiously, doing his best to conceal his presence as he hurried forward.
"Almost there, almost there."
"Just a little further, and I'll be out of the Tianjian Sect."
Shi Tu's breath was barely perceptible, and he was about to succeed when suddenly— A terrifying sword intent locked onto him.
"Oh no."
Shi Tu's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly increased his speed, trying to dodge the sword intent.
But it was already too late.
It was impossible to evade the attack of a tenth-realm expert so easily.
Chi! A tiny sword the size of a palm suddenly pierced through Shi Tu's chest.
"Me..."
Shi Tu's eyes widened as he felt his life force draining away at a terrifying rate.
Thin strands of terrifying sword intent seeped through his chest, shredding his limbs, bones, and even his primordial spirit.
"I can't die!"
Shi Tu's eyes reddened.
In a daze, he seemed to see the tall man who had picked him up from a city filled with corpses over two hundred years ago.
Back then, the Demon Lord was in his prime, able to annihilate countless powerful experts with a mere flick of his fingers, while Shi Tu was but a ragged and lowly beggar.
If not for the Demon Lord, he would have died long ago.
If not for the Demon Lord, he wouldn't be who he was today.
In the blink of an eye, over two hundred years had passed, and the events of the past seemed like a dream.
"I can't die before I see the Lord again!"
Shi Tu's will to survive surged, and without hesitation, he activated the demonic path's forbidden technique—the 'Disintegration Burning God Great Law'.
Once activated, his physical body, primordial spirit, and everything else would burn uncontrollably and uncontrollably.
Until he was completely reduced to nothingness.
During this process, the user would endure unimaginable pain.
Of course, the effect was just as impressive. While this forbidden technique was active, the user's speed would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.
And as time went on, the more his physical body and primordial spirit burned, the faster he would become.
In fact, almost all demonic cultivators would rather die than use this technique.
After all, once the 'Disintegration Burning God Great Law' was activated, there was no turning back. Their physical bodies, primordial spirits, and everything else would rapidly turn into nothingness.
In other words, even if one escaped death temporarily after using this forbidden technique, they would still eventually perish.
Before dying, they would also have to endure the endless pain caused by their self-immolation.
Hence, this technique was considered rather useless. Although it was widely known, it was rarely seen to be used by any demonic cultivator.
What's the point?
"Hmm?"
On Tian Jian Peak, Tian Jianzi seemed to sense something, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Disintegration Burning God Great Law?"
Tian Jianzi naturally sensed the aura of this forbidden technique.
After a moment's thought, he decided to let Shi Tu go.
Firstly, the use of this forbidden technique would undoubtedly lead to death, and Shi Tu, having already sustained his attack, wouldn't be able to last long anyway.
Secondly, even if Tian Jianzi wanted to pursue him, he might not be able to catch up.
In just a few breaths, Shi Tu had already escaped hundreds of miles away, and his speed was increasing rapidly, almost uncontrollably. Even if Shi Tu wanted to stop, he couldn't, and he eventually turned into nothingness while in a state of extreme speed.
Therefore, there was no need to give chase.
"Just an ant."
"Not worth our attention."
Tian Jianzi shook his head slightly, answering the curious gazes of the other powerful experts.
His sudden action had naturally drawn their attention, and it was only natural for him to offer an explanation.
Deep within the Tianjian Sect, in a picturesque valley.
Bai Qing'er sat on a large stone, her delicate, white legs swaying gently, creating gentle ripples.
"Brother Xiahou."
"Will you come and find me?"
Bai Qing'er's gaze fell on Tian Jian Peak.
She was naturally aware of Tian Jianzi's plot, and at this moment, she felt extremely conflicted.
On the one hand, she wanted Xiahou Yuan to come because that would mean he still had feelings for her, even if it was hatred.
But on the other hand, given Tian Jianzi's scheme, Xiahou Yuan's approach would undoubtedly lead to his death.
And now, Bai Qing'er didn't want Xiahou Yuan to die.
"Brother Xiahou."
"If you come, I'll beg the Sect Master to spare your corpse."
"Then, you and Qing'er can be together forever."
Bai Qing'er murmured to herself, a happy smile on her face.
Near the primordial energy spring in the underground palace.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, still cultivating and gaining enlightenment. During his travels through the myriad worlds, he spent most of his time cultivating, constantly improving himself.
As for enjoyment?
With his heaven-defying comprehension, Lin Yuan experienced constant insights, and his understanding of cultivation and the heavens improved with every moment.
This, to Lin Yuan, was the greatest enjoyment.
"Xuan Huang."
Lin Yuan contemplated the evolution path of Xuan Huang.
At this moment, he had already comprehended the fifth-stage chapter of this evolution path.
However, because of this, the difficulty of further comprehension had skyrocketed. After all, Lin Yuan was already at the fifth stage, and comprehending the fourth and third stages below it was like shooting fish in a barrel, even without his heaven-defying comprehension, he would still achieve some minor successes.
"The Dao of Xuan Huang is the Dao of Heaven and Earth."
Lin Yuan carefully contemplated, often observing the heavens and earth and combining it with his own reasoning.
"The evolution path of martial arts can still be improved. If I can't perfect the Yin God, Yang God, and Tai Chi Yuan God, then I'll perfect the physical body."
As Lin Yuan cultivated, the aura he exuded became increasingly abstruse and complex. It seemed to transform him into a black hole, or perhaps a Tai Chi diagram of black and white.
Suddenly— Lin Yuan's aura surged, as if he had broken free from some kind of shackle or restriction. His physical body's vitality and blood essence improved, and his primordial spirit and soul also elevated.
"Fifth Stage, Third Level."
Lin Yuan exhaled softly, a smile appearing on his face.
If compared to the current world's cultivation system, the Fifth Stage, Third Level was roughly equivalent to the peak of the Twelfth Realm, infinitely approaching the Thirteenth Realm.
The peak of the Twelfth Realm.
Infinitely approaching the Thirteenth.
If the other cultivators in this world learned of this, they would probably be so ashamed that they'd want to bang their heads against a wall.
For countless millennia, the strongest cultivator had only reached the Tenth Realm, and as for the Eleventh Realm? It was likely that only in the distant ancient times had such a realm ever been achieved.
As for the Twelfth Realm, it was unheard of.
Yet Lin Yuan had already begun to touch upon the Thirteenth Realm.
"I'll wait a few more years, until I completely step into the Thirteenth Realm, before I flatten the Tianjian Sect."
Lin Yuan's thoughts were calm as he made up his mind.
Although he wasn't Xiahou Yuan, now that his consciousness had descended into this person's body, he needed to resolve some of the resulting karma.
And what's more, even if Lin Yuan wanted to let bygones be bygones, it would depend on whether the Tianjian Sect was willing to do the same.
According to the intentions of that elder from the Ziguo Sect, the Tianjian Sect, along with numerous powerful beings from the Five Realms, were secretly plotting against Xiahou Yuan.
"The rules of this world."
Lin Yuan looked up, observing his surroundings.
Although it wasn't as efficient as directly observing the manifestation of the essential rules of the Godly Weapon World, it was still much more beneficial than in the Main World.
After all, grasping the rules of this world was far easier than in the Main World, where the source was powerful, and the rules were perfected and flawlessly operating. This made it extremely challenging for Evolvers to comprehend the essence of the rules.
However, by traveling through worlds, Lin Yuan could take advantage of the weaker sources and smaller rule systems. Even without his heaven-defying comprehension, he could grasp the rules here first and then slowly fill in the gaps back in the Main World.
"I've heard that in some universe secrets, independent of the Main World, the operation of rules is externally visible, and the efficiency of comprehending rules there is far superior to the outside world."
As the thirteenth disciple of the Red Kun Star Master, Lin Yuan now had access to high-level intelligence from the Main World.
This included information about the universe secrets.
Universe secrets were similar to small worlds and came in many varieties. Some even housed powerful life forms.
Each universe secret was a treasure for human civilization, especially those where the operation of rules was externally visible and conducive to understanding the rules. Those were extremely rare.
"I'll ask my teacher about the universe secrets later."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
As long as he continued to display his genius and talent, he had no fear of not receiving the resources of human civilization. This was the treatment that geniuses deserved.
With the three goddesses by his side, at most, his identity as a genius would be hidden; he wouldn't be subjected to any suppression or targeting.
The next day.
Lin Yuan finished his cultivation.
Seated in the main seat of the grand hall.
He listened to Nuan Shu and the nine Demon Lords reporting.
"Your Honor, there's still no news from the Tianjian Sect."
"Demonic beings from the Five Realms have been coming to pledge their allegiance one after another, but so far, no eighth-realm or higher demonic beings have submitted."
Nuan Shu quickly spoke.
Lin Yuan sat in the main seat, listening casually.
He naturally understood why there were no eighth-realm or higher demonic beings.
These demonic beings had established their dominance in their respective areas, reigning as kings. Why would they come to serve under Lin Yuan?
A few years ago, when Lin Yuan took over the Underground Palace, he swiftly subdued the nine ninth-realm Demon Lords, not giving them any chance to escape.
Of course, it was also because Lin Yuan had rarely shown his strength in front of outsiders since leaving the Great Abyss.
The only exception was when he crushed an eighth-realm peak expert, Jiang Jianke, outside the Great Abyss.
However, after that, whether it was taming the younger generation of demonic beings like Bian Mao or subduing the nine Demon Lords, including Moyang, none of this information was spread outside.
As a result, the demonic beings outside began to hesitate.
"These worthless fools! His Honor has revealed himself, and they still dare not come to pay their respects. They deserve to die!"
The nine Demon Lords, including Moyang, felt a bit resentful, and then they flew into a rage. They had submitted, so why were those eighth-realm demonic beings, weaker than them, still roaming free?
Nuan Shu, standing beside them, was about to speak.
Suddenly.
Nuan Shu's expression changed slightly.
"Your Honor, there's a change in the life flame."
Nuan Shu immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
"Go and take a look."
Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
Nuan Shu immediately left the hall.
Not long after.
Nuan Shu returned, holding a candle in her hand.
At this moment, the candle flame was extremely weak, flickering slowly as if it could go out at any moment.
"This is Shi Tu's life flame."
Nuan Shu's expression turned solemn.
"Shi Tu?"
Moyang and the other Demon Lords glanced at Lin Yuan out of the corners of their eyes.
Everyone knew that Nuan Shu and Shi Tu were the two most loyal to Xiahou Yuan.
Even though Xiahou Yuan was suppressed at the bottom of the Great Abyss, these two still did their best to rescue him.
Especially Shi Tu, who even dared to infiltrate the Tianjian Sect, possibly to gather more intelligence.
"It's Shi Tu."
Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn as he looked at the flickering candle in Nuan Shu's hand, which could go out at any time.
Hum! In Lin Yuan's line of sight, the aura of the candle flame began to spread, connecting to a distant location.
"Shi Tu is within a hundred miles from here."
Lin Yuan stood up.
The candle in Nuan Shu's hand flew up and landed in Lin Yuan's palm.
"Has Shi Tu returned?"
Nuan Shu was slightly startled and a little confused.
As far as she knew, Shi Tu was in the Tianjian Sect.
Even if he had escaped their grasp, he should have sent a message beforehand.
"He's already here."
Lin Yuan caught the life flame, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Outside the Underground Palace.
A 'meteor' quickly flew by.
If one looked closely, they would see that this 'meteor' was almost ethereal, with only a wisp of spiritual soul power still burning.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan appeared in front of the 'meteor'.
If it had been anyone else, even a ninth or tenth-realm expert, it would have been difficult to stop this 'meteor'.
Because the speed of this 'meteor' had reached its extreme, surpassing the speed of a tenth-realm expert running at full speed.
But Lin Yuan merely pushed out his right hand, and the 'meteor' came to a halt.
"Rise."
Lin Yuan frowned.
This 'meteor' was Shi Tu.
At this moment, his physical body had been burnt to ashes, and only a wisp of his primordial spirit remained, desperately clinging on.
"Condense."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred.
A large amount of heaven and earth energy gathered and transformed into gentle auras, infusing into the wisp of Shi Tu's primordial spirit.
Instantly.
With this wisp of primordial spirit as the center, a illusory figure quickly took shape.
However, one could see that the illusory figure was constantly forming and burning away.
"Your Honor."
Shi Tu's face was filled with pain, yet he managed to regain a shred of consciousness. Sensing Lin Yuan's true strength, a look of relief appeared on his face.
Shi Tu's lips moved, and he spoke a few words.
At this moment, Nuan Shu and Moyang rushed out of the Underground Palace and witnessed this scene.
A moment later.
Lin Yuan once again gathered heaven and earth energy.
However, Shi Tu's burning speed was getting faster and faster.
Finally, a look of relief and relaxation appeared on Shi Tu's face, and he completely turned into nothingness under the endless burning.
Lin Yuan stood in place, deep in thought, unmoving.
Nuan Shu gathered her courage and approached him cautiously. "Your Honor, what did Shi Tu say at the end?"
Nuan Shu naturally knew that Shi Tu's burning body was a result of the 'Disintegration Burning God Great Law'.
But wasn't this forbidden technique supposed to cause excruciating pain?
Why did Shi Tu smile at the end?
"He said two sentences."
Lin Yuan's tone was flat.
The first sentence had twelve characters.
"Before dying, meeting Your Honor, I have no regrets."
Lin Yuan stood in the air, his sleeves fluttering as he browsed through Xiahou Yuan's memories once again, reviewing everything about Shi Tu.
"So it was that little beggar."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged as he raised his head to glance at the direction of the Tianjian Sect before turning around and returning to the Underground Palace.
The second sentence had eight characters.
"Welcoming the Demon Lord's return to the Five Realms."
