Chapter 276: Chapter 276 – Demonic Emperor Bloodline, Demon Lord’s Crus.h.i.+ng Defeat
“One naturally needs to search for opportunities, but I don’t have any ideas towards the Tianxia Map. I don’t deserve to use a supreme treasure like it, and even if I obtained it, it would only bring disaster for the Jiang Clan,” Jiang Wudi explained, with some slight cold sweat on his forehead.
Xian Xianghua’s impression towards him was incredibly poor; this was not good.
Zhou Xuanji ignored Xian Xianghua and asked, “Can you tell us what kind of opportunities you’re searching for? There’s someone in Skyfall who comes from a foreign land, and if you can interest me, perhaps we can join hands in the future.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wudi’s eyes widened.
Someone from a foreign land?
He hurriedly asked, “Where is he?”
“Hm?” Xian Xianghua glanced at him, causing him to burst into cold sweat, and he became timid again.
Jiang Wudi immediately explained why he had asked.
“Truthfully speaking, I accidentally entered a mountain cave before and discovered a message left behind by a Great Tribulation Scattered Immortal. He came from a foreign land and was called Dao Hongchen. He said there were countless Kingdoms, Empires, and even more powerful existences on the ocean.
“That person had obtained a World Stone, and legends say that World Stones contain World Force. This matter was exposed, resulting in countless foes hunting him down. In the end, he hid the World Stone on a small island and came to the Northern Wilderness, but he was followed by a powerful enemy.
“Demonic Emperor Bloodline!”
Speaking to there, Jiang Wudi’s expression became serious.
Demonic Emperor Bloodline?
What was that?
Zhou Xuanji also looked quite confused.
Xian Xianghua frowned and said, “Legends say that the Demonic Emperor Bloodline is a race that has an heir in every generation who becomes a Demonic Emperor. Once they awaken, they gain unrivaled power and are incredibly bloodthirsty; even they themselves cannot control it.
“To date, the Demonic Emperor Bloodline has not appeared in 15,000 years. The last descendant of the Demonic Emperor Bloodline fought the Diablo and Hegemon Sword Emperor by himself. Only after 20 Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals were gathered were they able to kill him. Apart from the Diablo and the Hegemon Sword Emperor, all of them died, and the Fate of the Northern Wilderness greatly declined. There are far fewer Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals now than before.”
Zhou Xuanji sank into his thoughts. No wonder people often said that this age could not compare to 10,000 years ago.
After the Hegemon Sword Emperor, there were not any more true Great Emperors.
As for what a Great Emperor was, he did not know too much about them.
True Great Emperors did not come into being by proclaiming it themselves. It was said that they had to be acknowledged by the heavens and earth and be filled with Fate.
“Wait, what does this have to do with the Demonic Emperor Bloodline?” Jiang Xue could not help but ask. For some reason, she did not like this ancestor of hers much.
Because of Zhou Xuanji, Jiang Wudi’s att.i.tude towards her had completely changed, making her wary of him.
Jiang Wudi glanced at her and smiled as he shook his head and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry, Lil Xue, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
Lil Xue?
Everyone’s expressions were quite strange, feeling a chill.
This old guy was acting in such a friendly manner.
“The opportunity I mentioned before is the World Stone, but Dao Hongchen’s message said that the descendant of the Demonic Emperor Bloodline will do anything to try to obtain it. In other words, if we want to obtain the World Stone, we might have to face the descendant of the Demonic Emperor Bloodline.”
Jiang Wudi sighed and had an unsightly expression as he gritted his teeth and said, “the descendant of the Demonic Emperor Bloodline is like the Ten Thousand Year Prince—once they appear, they will be unrivaled and unmatched, if not even more extreme.”
He looked at Zhou Xuanji and Xian Xianghua with expectation.
If he had these two people a.s.sisting him, nothing could be better!
As for who would obtain the World Stone, he already had a plan for that.
“If you are willing to help me, once we obtain the World Stone, we can take turns to try to comprehend it. I can provide the map, people, and resources. All I want is to break through heaven’s secrets and ascend soon,” Jiang Wudi said sincerely. Ascending was something that he dreamed about day and night; it had almost become his obsession.
Apart from becoming the Emperor of an Empire and ascending after 1,000 years, it was very difficult for ordinary people to ascend.
It was not that he had never wanted to be an Emperor but that he had given up on that.
Emperors were awe-inspiring and mighty in the mortal realm, but once they ascended, they would be taken in by Immortals in the Upper Realm and would never have freedom. It was incredibly difficult for their cultivation to progress any more after that.
There were all kinds of other reasons, and they had spread throughout the Northern Wilderness. Almost everyone who had stepped into the realm of cultivation knew about them.
Jiang Wudi was quite proud and would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head and said, “We can think about this later. We have not even settled Skyfall down yet.”
Jiang Wudi nodded and smiled as he said, “We will naturally consider this matter at length.”
He still had a lot of lifespan left and was not in a hurry.
Xian Xianghua said disdainfully, “Now that you have the Sea-Freezing Stone, you’re naturally not in a hurry.”
Hearing this, Jiang Wudi’s mouth slightly twitched.
Following this, they chatted for a while before Jiang Wudi left.
According to him, Jihuang Demon Lord could not keep an eye on Zhou Xuanji for a long time; after all, the two races were at war.
Daoya Old Man reminded Zhou Xuanji, “The descendant of the Demonic Emperor Bloodline is like an apocalyptic demon who is naturally bloodthirsty. He’s much more difficult to deal with than the Ten Thousand Year Prince, and if you provoke him, it will not go well for you.”
Zhou Xuanji nodded; he had the Tianxia Map, so why would he need the World Stone?
Ten Thousand Year Prince, Tian, Demonic Emperor Bloodline descendant…
Zhou Xuanji had the Four Mountain-Guarding Kings integrate all of the demons in the surrounding 10,000 kilometres to help gather and transmit information.
Four Eighth Rank great demons were incredibly powerful and subdued 200,000 or so demons in ten days like an autumn wind sweeping through leaves. Most of them were quite weak.
However, the weaker and more unnoticeable they were, the less likely they would be discovered by the enemy.
One month later, a shocking piece of news blasted through the Northern Wilderness!
Jihuang Demon Lord had encountered Yang Di, and in less than ten bouts, Jihuang Demon Lord had suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, escaping with heavy injuries.
Once this news spread, the two races were sent into an uproar.
The human race was incredibly excited while the demon race was terrified.
The difference in strength between the first and second ranked in the world was so big?
Everyone understood that this was an important turning point in the war between the two races!
Liuwu Demon Wolf told this information to Zhou Xuanji, looking incredibly shocked and unable to calm himself down.
Back then, he had thought of Jihuang Demon Lord as supreme.
Who would have thought that Yang Di would be able to defeat Jihuang Demon Lord so easily?
Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji could not help but frown.
He had witnessed how powerful Jihuang Demon Lord was—he was like a G.o.d and was not someone Zhou Xuanji could defend against right now.
Such a powerful expert was defeated in ten bouts.
With their strength, ten bouts was a blink of an eye.
In other words, Jihuang Demon Lord had been almost instantly defeated by Yang Di?
“Looks like Yang Di has once again broken through,” Daoya Old Man said as he sighed in amazement. This sort of person should have appeared 10,000 years ago.
In this age, he was truly in a league of his own and was completely unrivalled.
Xian Xianghua frowned, a look of deep displeasure in her eyes.
Zhou Xuanji gathered everyone at the summit, including the second generation disciples.
He told everyone about Jihuang Demon Lord being defeated, and everyone was completely stupefied.
They had seen Jihuang Demon Lord’s might before, and they had never thought that such an existence would suffer such a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
“In the next while, I want everyone to focus on cultivating and training. Don’t go out too much; with Yang Di acting, the demon race will definitely be defeated. You guys don’t have to worry about the others,” Zhou Xuanji said, and the disciples all nodded.
At that moment.
“a.n.a.lyzed that the Sword Owner has reached 30 years old. Gacha started!”
