The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 973
Chapter 973 Return (1)
The drop of blood essence absorbed the power of the Nirvana Flame and gradually gave birth to a tiny strand of life force. Although it was very weak, it was still known by them. Immediately, they were delighted, “Success!”
“It’s good that you succeeded!” Second Hall Master wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “I’m really afraid that I’ll fail. I’ve been entrusted by Devil Master Lord!”
“What I’m curious about is that Netherworld Demon Emperor saw Devil Master Lord’s appearance on election day. I wonder what his expression will be like?” Yin Qianyu couldn’t help but laugh.
“Everyone, don’t be distracted. The ceremony hasn’t been completely completed yet. Don’t break it at the last step!” Devil Saint You Luo said.
This process lasted for a very long time. The vitality in the drop of blood essence became more and more vigorous. In the end, it seemed to have broken through a limit. It was as if there was a silent explosion, and the consciousness inside slowly awakened.
This consciousness seemed to be a little dumbfounded. It took a while for him to slowly regain his consciousness and regain his consciousness.
Immediately after, a huge devouring force came and extracted a large amount of essence energy from the void. This drop of essence blood also began to slowly grow, turning into a ball of flesh and blood. Then, it was a baby, a young man, and finally, it completely took shape, turning into Li Qing’s appearance.
Normally, after resurrecting from ashes, they would not be able to return to their original state. Instead, they would have to find a new carrier. Just like the Great Evil King, he first transformed into a flesh and blood lotus embryo, and finally parasitized on the tentacle monster.
But for Li Qing, this step was directly omitted, because he could directly drop blood to revive, condense his body, and return to his original body.
As long as he was alive and had his own consciousness, no matter if it was a drop of blood or a tiny bit of fur, he could form a human form without having to take away another person’s physical body.
Of course, Li Qing had come back to life now, but he was extremely weak. His face was extremely pale. He looked at the four people around him and said, “You guys did a good job. You didn’t disappoint me!”
The four of them immediately fell to the ground and shouted, “Welcome back, Demon Lord!”
“Get up, there’s no need to be too polite!” Li Qing stretched out his hand to help, “What’s the situation like now?”
“Most of the experts of the Seven Tribulations of the Dao Realm have been killed by the Sword God. Ordinary Dao Realm experts have all survived. The Myriad Devil Sect’s forces are still well preserved.” Second Hall Master said, “It’s just…”
“Just what?” Li Qing asked.
“It’s just that the Demon Empress doesn’t seem to be able to escape!” Second Hall Master lowered his head and said.
“What? Ke Er hasn’t returned? How is this possible? I’ve clearly arranged for her to be in the Ascension Heavenly Palace!” Li Qing cried out.
“Indeed, he hasn’t returned. It seems that the Ascension Heavenly Palace has been imprisoned by the Righteous Dao.”
Li Qing’s gaze turned cold, revealing a terrifying killing intent. He coldly said, “If anything happens to Ke’er, I will definitely make everyone pay for it!”
“Demon Lord, calm down! Your body hasn’t recovered yet, you can’t get angry!” The four of them immediately felt their hearts tremble.
Li Qing slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was already calm and without any waves. However, the depths of the calm contained the fury of thunder. He only buried it deep inside.
“You guys go down. I still need some time to recover! Soon, I will return to my peak condition. At that time, my strength will be even stronger than before!” Li Qing said.
Right now, he had already overcome the eighth level of heavenly tribulation. As long as he recovered to his peak state, he would definitely be much stronger than Emperor Hong Wu! Of course, he hadn’t tried it yet, and he didn’t know the exact situation.
…
Ten days later, the time to elect the Sect Master arrived as scheduled. A group of Dao Realm experts arrived at the Myriad Devil Hall and began the process of voting for the Sect Master.
Netherworld Demon Emperor was so excited that he didn’t conceal his ambitions. He even ran up and gave speeches in public, promising many benefits in order to rope in all the great devil cultivators.
The four of them knew the inside story and looked at Second Hall Master as if they were looking at a fool. This fellow had been trapped by them. When Li Qing appeared, they didn’t know what expression he would have on his face.
After Netherworld Demon Emperor finished his speech, he confidently returned to his seat. Seeing everyone’s reaction, he knew that the position of Sect Master was certain.
“It turns out that Yomi Devil Sect was destroyed in the past, and there was no chance to turn around. I didn’t expect that I would have the chance to ascend to the position of Sect Master Myriad Devil today. Hegemon of the Devil Dao, his power is a hundred times stronger than before. What a blessing in disguise!”
“Li Qing, Li Qing, thank you for giving me this gift. Unite the devil dao. In the end, you will still be making a wedding dress for me!”
“No matter how powerful you are, what can you do? You can only laugh until the end if you live for a long time!” Thinking of this, Netherworld Demon Emperor couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Next was the voting process. There was not much suspense about the outcome. Netherworld Demon Emperor won the support of the majority of the people by a huge margin and won the position of the new Sect Master!
“Chengjian, Chengjian! Haha, this emperor will be the new Sect Master of Myriad Devil from now on!” Netherworld Demon Emperor’s face was filled with excitement as he walked step by step towards the Throne of All Devils.
“Wait!” The Second Hall Master said.
“Oh? What else do you have to say?” A dignified expression appeared on Netherworld Demon Emperor’s face.
“You still can’t sit in this seat!”
“Why? Didn’t I already get the support of most people? Could it be that you want to go back on your word?” Netherworld Demon Emperor’s eyes narrowed.
“Even if you get everyone’s support, it’s useless. Something that doesn’t belong to you can’t be taken away even if it’s placed in front of you!” The Second Hall Master said indifferently.
“How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to now? The new Sect Master!” Netherworld Demon Emperor snorted coldly.
“What a mighty aura! Unfortunately, it can’t scare me!” The Second Hall Master sneered.
Netherworld Demon Emperor felt that something was wrong and asked, “What’s the matter with you talking so secretly? If you have anything to say, just say it!”
“There’s no reason, because I’m not dead yet!”
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the hall.
Everyone who heard this voice was shocked. They looked out of the door in shock and saw Li Qing’s figure appear in front of everyone.
“How is that possible! Demon Lord, aren’t you already dead?” They rumbled.
Netherworld Demon Emperor’s entire body trembled. Originally, he was standing above. At this moment, he crawled down and directly fell to the ground.
Li Qing passed the crowd and directly walked to the top. He slowly sat on the Throne of All Devils and said indifferently, “Everyone seems to recognize me as the Sect Master.”
“How could I not recognize him? The Demon Lord is unique in this world. No one can pretend to be him anymore. Even if he turns into ashes, he can recognize him.” Everyone laughed.
“Since you recognize me as the Sect Master, then my warrant says that the Second Hall Master and the Third Hall Master of your audience will act. Have you ever obeyed it?” Li Qing’s expression turned cold.
“This” Everyone looked a little embarrassed. At that time, they only thought that Li Qing was dead. Everyone was a Diabolism major power. Who would obey the orders of a dead person?
“We know our sins!” They immediately admitted their mistake.
Li Qing looked at Netherworld Demon Emperor and said indifferently, “Do you know your sin?”
“Know your guilt!” Netherworld Demon Emperor was straightforward and did not argue.
“Since that’s the case, are you convinced that I can suppress you for a hundred years just because you have contributed to the war?” Li Qing said.
“Suppress for a hundred years?” Netherworld Demon Emperor’s expression changed drastically. “Isn’t this punishment a little too severe?”
“Looks like you’re still unconvinced!” Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
“Although I was wrong, it wasn’t a big mistake, was it? You were already dead, and the position of Sect Master was empty. I was the strongest. It was only natural for me to fight for this position, but I didn’t commit any great crimes of betrayal. Why should I be suppressed for a hundred years?” Said Netherworld Demon Emperor.
Li Qing smiled gently, “Because this seat can’t belong to you! You have a bad idea. This is your original sin. Are you willing to accept it?”
“I understand. You’re not trying to reason with me! Instead, you’re using me as a warning!” Netherworld Demon Emperor laughed miserably. “The position of Sect Master can only be your disciple or direct descendant. It can’t be an outsider like me! I admire you!”
Li Qing waved his hand and sent Netherworld Demon Emperor into the depths of the Myriad Devil Palace to suppress him for a hundred years.
“The Second Hall Master, the Third Hall Master, Demon Saint You Luo and Yin Qianyu have made great contributions this time. I’m afraid that you won’t be interested in ordinary things either. Let’s temporarily charge it to the account. In the future, when we rule the world, we’ll carry out the sealing!”
“Thank you, Sect Master!” The four of them were overjoyed.
“How is the situation outside?” Li Qing asked.
Someone said, “The Sword God failed in crossing the tenth level of the Heavenly Tribulation …”
“As expected, not to mention the state of the Sword God at that time, even at its peak, it was impossible for him to survive the tenth level of the heavenly tribulation.” Li Qing said.
“Since the Sword God is dead, then the last obstacle that obstructs us will disappear. Unfortunately, we’ve lost a lot of manpower in this battle. I’m afraid we won’t be able to defeat the Righteous path forces easily anymore.” The Second Hall Master said.
“Is that so?” Li Qing’s gaze was deep. “Losing peak combat strength is indeed a heavy loss, but it might not be possible to defeat the Righteous path.”
“That’s right, with the Demon Lord here, everything is possible!” Everyone flattered him.
“The Righteous path faction must have already begun to counter-attack. Where did they go?” Li Qing asked.
“Actually, only ten days have passed. The Righteous path faction has taken over most of the territory in the Central Region. They are currently gathering their forces and advancing towards the Heavenly Stronghold.” Someone said.
“Originally, we all planned to give up the Heavenly Stronghold and defend the Eastern Region. I didn’t expect that the Demon Lord would suddenly resurrect. There’s no need to worry.”
Li Qing said, “They don’t know that I have been resurrected. Perhaps their mentality is relaxed now and they will be able to give them a fatal blow at that time. Don’t spread the news of me. Do you hear me?”
“Respect the orders of the Sect Master!” Everyone said.
Outside, the winds and clouds surged, and a large number of troops began to gather. The Great Zhou Dynasty easily subdued most of the territory in the Central Region, returning to its former prosperous state.
“This is the Hengtian Stronghold! As long as we defeat the defenders of the Hengtian Stronghold, we will be able to drive the Diabolism forces out of the Central Region!”
“Diabolism actually didn’t give up the Heavenly Stronghold? Aren’t they too arrogant? Do they think they can defend this territory?”
‘”Perhaps he wants to cause us some losses. The siege will require several times the amount of effort. At that time, there will inevitably be another casualty! Diabolism doesn’t want us to feel better!”
Emperor Hongwu snorted coldly, “Why do we still need to consider so much at this time? We must attack the Heavenly Stronghold at all costs and proclaim the national prestige of our Great Zhou Dynasty!”
