Chapter 519: Ancient Demon
A few hours ago...
_Devil Suppressing World, Devil Suppressing Ground_
Lin Hao was shocked to see the black gas, that was giving off an extremely evil and eerie aura, gathering together after coming out from the coffins.
Because of the G.o.d Slaying Sword inside his Divine Sea, Lin Hao came to know what this black gas was. It was actually an Ancient Demon.
Lin Hao didn"t know what an Ancient Demon was and even the term "Ancient Demon" was something he heard for the first time. But from the "Ancient Demon", he guessed that the black gas must be a demon from ancient times.
A thought was transferred to his mind from the G.o.d Slaying Sword. There was only one word: "Run!"
It was the first time when the G.o.d Slaying Sword advised Lin Hao to run from danger. It must mean that the danger in front of him was something that he could not deal with his current strength, even with the help of G.o.d Slaying Sword.
While the black gas was still gathering together, Lin Hao took this chance to escape from this place. He knew once the black gas gathered together completely, it would be impossible for him to go out alive from this place.
When the Devil saw Lin Hao running, it wanted to chase after him but for some reason, he could not even buzz from the place he was standing. It was as if the body of the demonic beast that he was possessing was refusing to follow his instruction.
Although the Devil had possessed the demonic beast"s body, this body still had the leftover instinct of its previous master. Right now, it was following the instinct. According to its instinct, a very terrifying being was currently approaching, terrifying enough to destroy the entire world if it wants. In front of such an existence, it wanted to kneel down so that this existence will not notice it.
"F*ck! What is happening? What is this black gas that is making even my soul shudder in fear for some reason? I"m the Devil, a demon who has long surpa.s.sed the limit of the Upper Realm and ascended to the Devil Realm. If not for that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Qian Jun, how could I would have been suppressed in this world for so many years?"
"I don"t know what this black gas is, but this must be an extremely terrifying thing since it is even making my soul shudder in fear. I have to escape from this place as well."
The Devil didn"t want to stay here any longer. The more the black gas gathered together, the more dangerous his feeling became. Without any hesitation, he immediately abandoned the demonic beast"s body that it had possessed and prepared to run away.
Unfortunately, at this moment, black gas suddenly reacted and a black hand was formed before it caught the soul of the Devil that was about to escape. The Devil looked at the black gas and saw that it had completely gathered together. Right now, there was a figure standing in front of him but he could not see what this figure looks like. It was as if this figure had n.o.body. It was formed from black gas only and on the place of its eyes, only red light could be seen flashing.
"Ke! Ke! Ke! Ke!"
A burst of evil laughter rang out inside the Crystal Palace as the black figure laughed. His laugh was enough to make the Devil"s soul freeze for a few moments. Then it suddenly shook as a cold chill ran down his soul.
"Gulp!"
"W-Who are you?"
The devil acted as if he wanted to gulp down his saliva, unfortunately, he was only a soul right now. There was no such thing as saliva when it comes to the soul. He looked at the black figure that was holding him, not letting him escape and ask while trembling in fear.
"Hmm... Since you are already going to die, let me answer you. I"m an Ancient Demon that was suppressed here by the descendent of that d.a.m.n Celestial Sword Emperor and the Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon."
"Ah! How long has it been? Maybe, it"s already been a few eras!"
The Ancient Demon replied while thinking of the distant past. When it mentioned Celestial Sword Emperor and Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon, its red eyes flashed with hatred.
Devil was unable to see the hatred in its eyes for the Celestial Sword Emperor and Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon, but he could feel the hatred for them from its voice. He could also feel that when the Ancient Demon mentioned Celestial Sword Emperor and Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon, it was gritting its teeth it might not have.
"Celestial Sword Emperor?"
"Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon?"
The Devil obviously didn"t know who Celestial Sword Emperor and Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon were.
As if the Ancient Demon was reminded of something, a cold but surprised voice came out from his mouth, "You don"t even know about the Celestial Sword Emperor and Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon?"
"Should I know them?" The Devil asked again.
The Ancient Demon acted as if he was thinking of something and then asked, "What about Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon?"
The Devil shook his head.
As if the Ancient Demon heard something unbelievable. He kept asking, "Have you ever heard of any one of the Nine Ancestor Dragons?"
The Devil again shook his head.
"What about Queen of Plants, Zhiwu Nuw.a.n.g?"
The devil"s answer remained the same.
The Ancient Demon was taken aback. He muttered, "That shouldn"t be possible. They should have been the great heroes who saved the entire Heavens from falling into darkness. They should have been known by every single child under the Heavens. How is it possible for their names to be completely erased from history? what exactly happened? How long have I been sealed here?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!"
Taking a deep breath, the Ancient Demon Said, "Have you heard of the name G.o.d Slaying Sword?"
"No!"
"Let me tell you, G.o.d Slaying Sword is the greatest weapon that has ever appeared. It appeared in the ancient times."
"Well, even I don"t know who refined this G.o.dly weapon. It is said that the G.o.d Slaying Sword has the power to even slay the ancestor dragons, the dragons whom even Ancient G.o.ds fears. And Celestial Sword Emperor was the holder of the G.o.d Slaying Sword."
"G.o.d Slaying Sword chooses its own holder. No one can hold the G.o.d Slaying Sword other than the chosen one."
"As for the Nine h.e.l.l Serenity Dragon, it"s one of the Nine Ancestor Dragon, the ruler of darkness as well as the Peace Bringer. It"s also because of this dragon that we Ancient Demons started being killed by humans, dragons, and other races."
After saying till here, the Ancient Demon again looked at the Devil with its red eyes. There was no way to tell its expression because it had no face or body at all. It was simply made up of dark evil gas. It said, "I answered your question. Aren"t you going to thank me!"
"Th-Thank You!"
The Devil hurriedly thanked, fearing that the Ancient Demon might kill him. Although it was only a very small part of his soul, the disappearance of this bit of soul will still cause great harm to him and he"ll have to delay his plan of returning back to the Devil Realm.
"No, not like that. I want you to thank me in a different way!"
The Ancient Demon said in a strange tone.
"H-How?" The Devil asked.
"By letting me devour you!"
The Ancient Demon started laughing and suddenly, black gas covered the devil"s soul. The Devil didn"t even get the chance to say something when it was devoured.
"Eh! So, it was not your complete soul. The memories in this part of the soul are too short to be any help. I need to go out and free Nine Ancestor Ancient Devils."
"Oh, there was still a little guy here? Where did he go? So... he escaped. No worry, he was just a little ant."
The Ancient Demon then disappeared where he was, and the next moment, the entire Crystal Palace crumbled.
.....
_Green Blood Demon World_
Somewhere far away from the Blood Demon Sect in the Northern Wasteland, there was a small demon city.
Many demons were strolling the streets of the city like always.
In this demon village, there was a small gra.s.sland but the gra.s.ses here were all blood-red in colour instead of green.
Suddenly, an intense energy fluctuation appeared here, and in the next moment, two figures suddenly appeared and rolled down on the red gra.s.sland.
These two figures were Ye Xiao and Yi Meng that were swapped here by the Grandmaster of Yi Meng.
Ye Xiao was really surprised by this. He had some vague idea of a Dao Soul Stage martial artist by this action of Yi Meng"s Grandmaster. It was just like teleportation. The Grandmaster actually used some sort of technique to directly teleport Ye Xiao and Yi Meng here.
