Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 264
Chapter 0264 Demon King!
After careful observation, he confirmed that no one was alive. Only then did he walk towards the throne and directly arrive in front of the Profound Spirit Cauldron.
He reached out and moved the Profound Spirit Cauldron, but it didn’t move at all, as if it had been rooted to the ground.
Qin Fei frowned and circled around the Profound Spirit Cauldron. He found that there was no way to move it.
Right, try using your own Profound Spirit Cauldron. The fragments can fuse with each other.
He retrieved the Profound Spirit Cauldron above the palace.
“No” Xuan Ling’er cried out in alarm.
However, it was already too late. Following the withdrawal of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, the demonic energy frantically surged back into the palace and quickly entered the bodies of those who had died.
Immediately after, something shocking happened. More demonic energy was emitted from the bodies of those people, enveloping the palace in the blink of an eye. Even their eyes were unable to see what was happening around them.
Qin Fei was shocked. Suddenly, waves of breathing came from all directions. The most intense breathing came from the throne in front of him. The breath he exhaled almost sprayed onto his body.
Boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly rippled out of the hall. Demonic energy surged into the sky and crazily entered Qin Fei and Duan Ruoyan’s bodies.
An unbearable pain instantly filled their entire bodies. The two of them were covered in cold sweat, their eyes were red with anger, and they found it difficult to breathe.
“Who dares to barge into my Twilight Temple?” A voice rang out, and Qin Fei discovered that it came from the throne!
A black shadow stood up from the throne and came to him with thumping footsteps.
“A cultivator is courting death!” The black shadow snorted angrily and slapped his palm. The demonic energy was dense, and a strong suffocating feeling instantly made Qin Fei’s mind sink.
Bang!
Qin Fei was sent flying and fell into the hall. Countless black shadows moved and quickly ran towards him, killing intent surging.
“Damn it!”
Qin Fei cursed angrily. He was extremely anxious, but his body couldn’t move at all. He couldn’t resist at all.
Boom!
Right at this moment, when Qin Fei was about to be killed by these black shadows, a bright light suddenly erupted from the left side of the throne. The Profound Spirit Cauldron merged, causing all the black shadows to stop attacking and turn to look at the Profound Spirit Cauldron.
The fused Profound Spirit Cauldron flew up and landed in front of Qin Fei, guarding him like a shield.
“Cultivator, did you fuse with the Profound Spirit Cauldron?” The black figure on the throne flashed and appeared in front of Qin Fei with a burning light in his eyes.
“That’s right! Who exactly are you?” Qin Fei said.
“Who am I? Devil Owl!” The man replied.
“Demon King?” Qin Fei was stunned. He had never heard of this name before.
“It’s him! Devil Arts founder!” Duan Ruoyan exclaimed.
“What? You’re actually the founder of the Devil Arts! Aren’t you already dead?” Qin Fei said in surprise.
‘”Looks like there are still people who remember me, Mo Xiao. Yes, I did die a thousand years ago, but it’s not the death you all know. It’s just that I disappeared from the eyes of the world. Everyone naturally feels that I’m dead! You are the successor of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, so you are the person I, Mo Xiao, am going to follow! Everyone, disperse the devil arts!” The Devil Owl shouted loudly. All of the devil energy was absorbed back by the black shadows, and the hall immediately lit up.
Qin Fei felt that the restraints on his body had disappeared. He stood up and wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He looked at the Demon Owl in surprise. Only then did he have time to properly examine it. He saw that the Demon Owl was white and clean. He was tall, slightly thin, and had long hair. It looked like he was full of scrolls. He looked like a scholar.
Mo Xiao’s words shocked him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you just say? The successor of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, you follow me?”
“That’s right! It’s a long story. Please sit down and let me speak slowly!” Demon King pointed at the throne and asked Qin Fei to sit on it.
Qin Fei didn’t hold back and brought Duan Ruoyan to the throne. After thinking for a while, he decided to let Duan Ruoyan sit down.
Duan Ruoyan’s face was flushed red. Being able to obtain Qin Fei’s rare concern, her face was rippled with happiness.
“I am Demon King, the sinner who created the devil art a thousand years ago! Back then, I was so frivolous that I was eager to achieve instant success. I always wanted to become the number one expert on the Profound Spirit Continent. However, I know that human life is limited. I can only rely on regular cultivation techniques to cultivate. I’m afraid that with my abilities, I won’t be able to reach the Divine Realm even if I die! Thus, I researched and created a devil technique to absorb other people’s profound energy for my own use. Devil techniques have indeed allowed me to obtain unprecedentedly powerful strength, but I’m still a step away from becoming a god. I’m still unable to become a god-like existence and have a long life! ”
“Later on, cultivators all over the world began to chase after the cultivators. I was also seriously injured. At that time, I was besieged by Heavenly Martial Realm experts from all over the world and lost. My life was hanging on the line. It was the devil technique that saved me. However, at that time, I was already seriously injured in my Yuan Qi. I was no longer able to recover my strength. Thus, I hid and made people mistakenly think that I was dead.”
‘”I’m hiding in the temple. There are so many cultivators protecting me. No one can enter. There are countless cultivators in the Hidden Demon Ridge. That’s why those people were unable to attack the mountain back then. I’m still alive. There’s not much time left.”
“Three years after I was wounded, the Profound Spirit Emperor appeared, quickly unifying the entire world and establishing the Profound Spirit Empire! At that time, it seemed to me that his success was just good luck. He took advantage of the battle between us Devil Cultivators and Martial Cultivators to create a loophole. If we were not both injured, what ability would the Profound Spirit have to unify the world and establish an undying empire?”
“At that time, I believed that many people had the same idea, but the woods were already done. Xuanling succeeded, and no one was his opponent!”
However, ten years after the founding of the Xuanling Empire, I only had one last breath left and was about to die. Suddenly, the sky erupted with rainbow colors. I heard reports from outside that the Xuanling Emperor had ascended to divinity. His Xuanling Cauldron shattered because of his resistance to the heavenly punishment and fell down. One of the cauldrons fell into this temple! I saw the Profound Spirit Cauldron and comprehended it for a long time. Only then did I understand that the unification of the Profound Spirit World is not due to luck, but to his strength! I saw how ignorant my past was on this cauldron. Cultivating demons is a deviant path. Although it can allow me to grow rapidly and possess powerful strength very quickly, I still can’t obtain that last sliver of hope! The Profound Spirit Cauldron gave me guidance, “I improved my devil technique again and finally survived. However, the secret of becoming a god has not been thoroughly studied. In the end, I developed a Turtle Breath Devil Technique that can make cultivators fall asleep. They will not die for a thousand years and nurture their souls with devil energy. I will wait until the successor of the Profound Spirit Cauldron arrives to lead me in searching for that method of becoming a god!”
“I know very well that someone will gather them one day when the Profound Spirit Cauldron is broken. And you have finally arrived. I, Demon King, swear to follow you for the rest of my life and search for the secrets of becoming a god!”
Qin Fei and Duan Ruoyan were both shocked.
Who would have thought that history would be like this? The person who created the Devil Technique actually thought that the Devil Technique was useless in the end.
Qin Fei patted his forehead. “You … Wait, let me digest …” The amount of information Demon Owl had said was too much, making him unable to adapt.
After a long time, he woke up a little and pointed at the black shadows, “So they are all cultivators from a thousand years ago?”
“That’s right! They are all my most loyal subordinates. Of course, they will obey your orders now! People block killing, gods block killing gods!” Said Demon King.
“Don’t fight and kill. I’m not interested in killing people! What are their cultivation levels like?” Qin Fei said.
“Among them, there are Earth Martial Realm, Heavenly Martial Realm, and Pseudo God Realm …”
“Wait, what is the Pseudo God Realm?” Qin Fei hurriedly stopped.
“Pseudo-gods are second only to gods, above the Heavenly Martial Realm and below! Back then, I was also at the ninth level of the Pseudo-God Realm, and my subordinates were at the eighth level and seventh level of the Pseudo-God Realm.” Demon King explained in detail.
“My dear, there are pseudo-gods above the Heavenly Martial Arts. I’ve never heard of them. Don’t tell me that there aren’t any pseudo-gods now?” Qin Fei was extremely surprised.
“I’m not sure about that. Furthermore, what I just said is from the past. We don’t have that kind of strength anymore. After sleeping for a thousand years, we have to pay a great price. Our cultivation has greatly decreased, and our realm has fallen by a large margin. For example, I am only at the ninth level of the Heavenly realm. If I meet a master of the Pseudo-Divine realm, there is only one way to die!” Demon King said helplessly.
“Nothing, nothing” Qin Fei hurriedly shook his head, not caring at all. In any case, there were no invincible Pseudo-God Realm experts, such as Mo Xiao, enough to walk horizontally!
This was truly a treasure. There were a thousand people in the hall, and the lowest was at the Human Martial Stage. If they left, wouldn’t they be sweeping across the surroundings?
