As the Universe Turns - Chapter 452
Chapter 452 Duodenal Heart Demon
“Why did you suddenly attract the souls of those gods and devils just now …”
Up until now, everyone still had lingering fears. Normally speaking, as long as they were careful not to touch this taboo, everything would be fine. Why did they suddenly provoke those ancient souls after coming to this graveyard?
“Something’s wrong!”
Pili Zidian’s gaze suddenly turned fierce as he looked at the crowd, “We’ve been safe for the past two days. Did any of you take something you shouldn’t have taken here yesterday?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other. Ji Wuyan looked at him and said, “Sect Leader Thunderbolt, where did you start? Yesterday, all of us were together. How could we get the things here?”
“Is everyone together?”
Pili Zidian’s gaze was still sharp as he looked at the crowd again. However, he suddenly realized that there was one person missing. There were originally twelve people, but now there were only eleven.
“Where’s the Profound Fire Sect Master? Where did he go?”
At this moment, everyone noticed that the Profound Fire Sect Master had disappeared. Everyone had been there before, but the situation was chaotic just now, and no one noticed that there was one missing.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. At this moment, the group of people were in the tomb, but the knock on the door kept coming from outside. It really made people’s backs go cold. Heaven knows if the person outside was a ghost or a human.
“Is it the Mysterious Fire Sect Master?”
Pili Zidian’s eyes were cold as he slowly approached the tomb door. The rest of them were also on guard.
“It’s me! Open the door and let me in!”
An old man’s anxious voice came from outside. When everyone heard that it was indeed the voice of the Mysterious Fire Sect Master, they were slightly relieved. However, after thinking for a moment, they felt strange. Just now, everyone was together. How could the Mysterious Fire Sect Master be the only one missing?
“Dong dong dong!”
The sound of knocking outside became more and more urgent, and then the voice of the Profound Fire Sect Master sounded again, “The undead are coming from outside, quickly let me in!”
“Wait …”
Pili Zidian stretched out his hand and stopped Ji Wuyan from opening the tomb door. His gaze was sharp as he coldly said, “Don’t you know the taboo here? It’s hard to say whether the person standing outside is the Mysterious Fire Sect Master or not.”
Hearing this, everyone felt an inexplicable chill behind their backs. If the ghosts and spirits outside were to turn into resentment, wouldn’t it kill all of them?
“Dong dong dong!”
The sound of the knocking outside was getting louder and louder. Daoist Gui’s eyes narrowed, “No, if he continued knocking like this, he would definitely attract all the souls of the gods and devils outside, let alone inside …”
At this point, he looked into the tomb again. For some reason, he felt a burst of coldness behind him. Fortunately, the people in Tomb of Gods and Demons called him “Daoist Gui” and were actually afraid of the ghosts and gods here.
Pili Zidian stepped forward and stared sharply at the tomb door. “Master Xuanhuo, what did you do at this time thirteen years ago?” He asked.
“I brought people to destroy the Blue Flame Sect, and Li Cangyan was nailed to death by me with thirty-six soul nails!”
Sect Master Xuanhuo’s anxious voice came from outside. Ji Wuyan and Pili Zidian looked at each other and nodded slightly, “It’s him …”
“You step back.”
Pili Zidian still hadn’t put down all his vigilance. He slowly walked to the tomb door and opened the mechanism. With a “rumble”, the two stone doors slowly opened. A figure outside couldn’t wait to rush in. It was the Mysterious Fire Sect Master.
After seeing him enter, Pili Zidian quickly closed the tomb door. At this moment, his gaze fell on the Mysterious Fire Sect Master, and he felt a chill run down his spine. “Mysterious Fire Sect Master, where did you just go …”
“It was chaotic just now. I was unable to keep up for a while.” The Profound Fire Sect Master immediately explained.
“Is that so …”
Pili Zidian’s eyes were still sharp, and the rest of them did not completely believe the words of the Profound Fire Sect Master. With his cultivation, even if it was chaotic, how could he possibly lose track of him?
“Sect Leader Thunderbolt, what do you mean by looking at me like this?”
The Mysterious Fire Sect Master saw that Pili Zidian was looking at him motionlessly, as if he was suspecting him. At this moment, his expression became somewhat unhappy.
“It’s fine. I just want to remind Sect Master that if we can’t get out, then we won’t be able to get out. No one can live alone!” Pili Zidian’s voice was gloomy. After he finished his last sentence, he walked back.
As for the rest of them, they watched the Profound Fire Sect Master remain silent. Of course, they understood clearly in their hearts. If not for the fact that Immortal Alliance had sealed all those cracks in the Huntian Domain, they would not have taken the risk to come to this forbidden region. What exactly happened was hard to determine now.
The Mysterious Fire Sect Master saw that everyone was looking at him strangely, and he was even more furious and unhappy, “Could it be that you all suspect me? This old man dares to swear to the heavens that if the previous incident had anything to do with this old man, then this old man will die miserably in this Demonic Habitat!”
“Sect Master Xuanhuo, it’s better not to swear an oath so easily in such a place …” Daoist Blood Drink suddenly said gloomily.
“You …”
The Mysterious Fire Sect Master was speechless for a moment and sneered, “Alright, then we’ll see.” After saying that, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, ignoring everyone else.
On the other side, Xiao Chen ignored the quarrel and was carefully looking at a mural and text on the stone wall of the tomb.
The frescoes had been painted for a very long time, and many places had already fallen off. They could not be vaguely seen clearly, and the characters were also used in ancient times. They were very different from the characters in seal script today.
Luo Die saw that he was completely absorbed in reading, but she did not know much about the ancient characters on it. After a long time, she asked curiously, “What … is written on it?”
At this moment, everyone else noticed the frescoes and characters in the tomb. The frescoes were probably painted many years ago during the battle between the gods and devils, and the characters were too ancient. Even Wuchang Daojun and the others did not recognize them.
Xiao Chen looked at the stone wall and slowly said, “There is a very powerful devil written on it. Its name is’ Duodenal Heart Devil ‘.”
When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly. Daoist Gui walked forward and looked at the stone wall. “Little friend, can you recognize the ancient characters on them?” He asked.
“In the past … I have done some research.”
Xiao Chen still stared at the stone wall. He didn’t know why he recognized these ancient characters. It was when he went to the Immortal North Ancient Realm, crossed the Death Desert, and discovered the ancient ruins beneath the desert. Ever since he picked up the strange hexagonal stone plate, everything had become somewhat different. The Immortal Devil God and Buddha figures he saw at sea that night seemed to have been wrapped around him.
“Little friend, tell me, what is written on this? Could it be that the owner of the tomb is mentioned?”
Daoist Gui asked again. After all, this place was too strange. If he could find some clues from the words on the stone wall, it might be helpful for them to leave.
“There is no mention of the owner of the tomb for the time being, but I think it should be the words left behind by the owner of the tomb.”
Xiao Chen looked at the words on the bottom of the mural and slowly said, “There was once a very powerful devil called the Twelve-fingered Heart Devil that killed seven Empyrean Gods in a row. Later on, a High God with boundless magical power descended from the Heaven Realm. High God …”
“How is the High God?”
Seeing that he had said this, he suddenly frowned and remained silent. Everyone couldn’t wait to ask.
“The High God and the Heart Demon fought for three years. The stars in the heavens and earth moved, the mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon shattered … But in the end, the High God was accidentally invaded by a ‘Three Corpse Demon’ released by the Heart Demon. The Three Corpse Demon was formed from the three worlds, six streams, and the three corpses of all living beings …”
Xiao Chen looked at the words on the wall and suddenly remembered that the Three Corpse Demon that Ku Lingzi had told him about earlier was not made up by Ku Lingzi on a whim. Instead, it was something that was so powerful that even the High Gods of the Heaven Realm could not escape …
“So what?”
Seeing that he was suddenly silent again, everyone asked again. Obviously, they also knew about the existence of such a thing as Three Corpse Demon.
Xiao Chen continued, “Afterwards, under the influence of the Three Corpse Demons, High Gods sacrificed three million people in a city. With three million people’s blood essence and divine souls, they set up a Blood Soul Array and sealed the twelve-fingered Heart Demons …”
“Three million people …”
Everyone couldn’t help but tremble slightly. A High God of the Heaven Realm actually sacrificed the lives of three million mortals … It was simply unimaginable.
Wuchang Daojun asked, “Then … is the twelve-fingered Heart Demon sealed just like that?”
“No.”
Xiao Chen shook his head. Looking at the words on the wall, He continued, “The High God is worried that the twelve-fingered Heart Demon will break through the formation seal, He stayed in the sealed area for seven years until the formation was about to stabilize. However, one full moon night, the Profound Yin Qi gathered and the High God Three Corpse Demon attacked. He actually personally broke the seal. The twelve-fingered Heart Demon broke the seal from underground and heavily injured the High God with one finger. In the end, the High God used heaven-defying methods to exterminate both his body and spirit … ”
“What did you display?”
Daoist Gui frowned. Although these were all things from ancient times, for some reason, he felt that there was still some connection between those things and the present.
“He used the Primordial Taboo Great Art … Samsara Taboo, sealing the twelve-fingered Heart Demon into … the Ruins Returning Realm.” Xiao Chen read out the words on the wall. At this moment, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
“The Primordial Taboo Great Art … the Ruins Returning Realm …”
Not only him, the rest of them also frowned. “I know that this Ruins Returning Realm is rumored to be a place of exile for Fiendgods and Devils. Once exiled from the Ruins Returning Realm, I will never come out again …” The Underworld Fire Heretic God said coldly, “I know that this place has always been a place of exile for Fiendgods and Devils. Once exiled from the Ruins Returning Realm, I will never come out again …”
Daoist Gui asked, “What’s next? Has the twelve-fingered Heart Demon been sealed into the Ruins Realm just like that?”
“No …”
Xiao Chen shook his head. He carefully looked at the words on the wall and continued, “The moment the High God dies, the Three Corpse Demons will die as well. However, the High God never expected that there would be a twelve-fingered Heart Demon spirit hidden within the Three Corpse Demons. The High God died, the Three Corpse Demons dissipated as well. The twelve-fingered Heart Demon was also knocked into the Ruins, but that spirit stayed in the mortal world …”
Hearing this, everyone trembled. For some reason, a chill gradually rose from behind everyone’s back. It was as if that spirit was standing behind them and looking at them, causing them to immediately feel a burst of horror.
