Dong Qitian frowned when he heard that the black-robed man recognized him. m.
This was truly out of their expectations. For experts with profound cultivation bases like them, four thousand years was not a long time. However, this' not a long time 'was only suitable for the top-notch cultivators in the Bound of Universe. For the rest of the world, this time limit was so long that it was enough for the seas to turn into mulberry fields. Who knew how many dynasties had changed in the world? How many cycles …
Originally, he had thought that it was just a chance encounter, a chance to strike. Who would have thought that the target actually knew him? In that case, he didn't know if this was a chance encounter or an ill-fated one!
Just as Dong Qitian's mind was drifting with doubt, the black-robed man let out a strange cackle. His body exploded with a boom, turning into nine black lines that escaped from Dong Qitian's shackled hand. In the blink of an eye, they gathered again and stood in the air. Instead of diminishing, their power increased. Then, he clenched his hand into a fist and punched out forcefully.
"Dong Qitian, don't you recognize me?!"
As soon as this punch struck out, everywhere it passed, strange phenomena appeared successively. First, a golden dragon appeared, and then a ferocious tiger roared!
The dragon and tiger shook their heads and wagged their tails in the air, circling back and forth. They looked mighty and insufferably arrogant.
Dong Qitian took a closer look and was shocked to see that there was a blazing sun above the dragon's head, and a crescent moon on the tiger's body. It was a scene of the dragon leaping and the tiger leaping, the sun and moon in the same sky!
Thoughts raced through Dong Qitian's mind before he finally wore a surprised expression. Ever since he was reborn, he had never taken half a step back. For the first time, he took two steps back before he countered with a punch. Both fists collided with each other, but there was not much of a commotion. There was not even a distinct sound of punches!
Yun Yang, who had freed himself from the black robe, was shocked. He knew very well that Dong Qitian's cultivation base was far beyond what he knew. The black-robed man in front of him was actually a peerless expert who could go toe-to-toe with Dong Qitian. If that was the case, was his so-called plan not a joke?
Just as Yun Yang was deep in thought, the punches that had collided with each other, the seemingly insignificant punch's true power was revealed. The aftermath of the punch caused the surrounding mountains and rivers to tremble.
A few mountains in the distance also exploded with endless roars after this moment. Large pieces of rocks from the cliffs fell down. Obviously, it had caused a considerable range of landslides!
Shockingly, the force of their fists had already arrived at an extremely high realm where it was restrained and didn't reveal its edge. It was truly shocking and horrifying!
It was Yun Yang's first time witnessing a battle between two experts of such caliber!
Dong Qitian's expression turned extremely sour after the clash as he hollered, "Dragon Tiger Soul! Sun Moon Seal! Soul Demon King, you are not dead yet?! "
At this moment, Dong Qitian, whose thoughts were confirmed, broke out in cold sweat.
However, the cold sweat was not for himself, but for Yun Yang.
Before the operation just now, Dong Qitian had asked Yun Yang to test the waters first, which was why Yun Yang had launched the ambush just now. The move was done with good intentions, to allow Yun Yang to gain more experience and have an additional chance to fight with a superior expert.
After all, in Dong Qitian's opinion, Yun Yang's previous pretense was practically toying with the other party in the palm of his hand. Although it was an unintentional move, the other party's true ability was much stronger than Yun Yang's, but the disparity was not so great that there was not even room for him to test the waters.
Furthermore, he was nearby. Even if the other party's ability was stronger than expected, he could still lend a hand and not let anything happen to Yun Yang!
In spite of this, the truth was that the other party was actually an old demon that had never been seen in this world. How could Dong Qitian not be frightened?
The Soul Demon King was an ancient demon, one of the top experts in the Demon Realm. Back in the pinnacle battle between the humans and the Demon Clan, both sides had unleashed their full strength, intending to end the battle in one fell swoop. Therefore, all the experts from both sides had participated in the battle, risking their lives to fight to the death.
Both sides had the intention to destroy the other, so they came up with their own plans and resorted to every conceivable means!
At the critical moment, the Demon Clan was about to break through the human's defense and charge into the Bound of Universe. Once they entered, it would be a catastrophe!
A human senior had hardened his heart and gathered ninety-nine Saint Emperors. With the ninety-nine Saint Emperors' cultivation base and blood essence as the price, he set up the Nine-Nine Demonic Formation at the location where the Demon Clan entered and exited the Bound of Universe!
The Nine-Nine Demonic Formation was an extreme formation that hurt oneself before hurting the enemy, because the foundation of this formation was the heroic sacrifice of ninety-nine Saint Emperors. They sacrificed all of their souls, blood essence, and cultivation base to form the foundation of the ultimate attack.
Then, the other martial artists lured the Demon Clan wave after wave into the Demonic Formation that spanned three thousand miles. Wave after wave, they were killed!
As it turned out, the sacrifice of the ninety-nine Saint Emperors did not go to waste. The number of experts of the Demon Clan that were killed by this formation numbered in the millions. It was a glorious battle result!
Furthermore, this formation had the terrifying property of increasing the power of the formation bit by bit as the number of Demon Clan experts killed increased. As more and more Demon Clan experts were killed, even if they were at the peak of the Saint Venerable level, once they entered the formation, they would be in a situation of certain death. After killing several Saint Venerables, the power of the formation increased again. It was already able to threaten the life and death of Saint Monarchs!
Because of this, the Demon Emperor did not dare to be negligent anymore. He sent out a total of eight Saint Monarch old Demon Kings. Together with the five hundred thousand Demon Clan army, they charged into the formation. The result of this battle was that out of the five hundred thousand Demon Clan army, 430,000 died. Of the eight Saint Monarchs, one died in battle, and two were so severely injured that they lost their cultivation base forever. Only then did the Nine-Nine Demonic Formation break!
None of the human seniors who fought in the Demonic Formation survived.
However, even if the Nine-Nine Demonic Formation was broken, the Demon Clan's vitality was greatly damaged, and the result was irreversible!
Humans had taken the opportunity during this period of time to build the Bloody Soul Mountain, isolating the two realms of humans and demons.
However, the affairs of the world were changeable. The old site of the Demonic Formation that destroyed thousands of demons had become the only channel that could connect the two realms.
At the same time, in the broken Nine-Nine Demonic Formation, a peerless great demon was born!
It was a special great demon that was born from the accumulation of boundless resentment after the death of countless Demon Clan members and the formation's soul power could not overflow after it was destroyed!
In other words, it was the Soul Demon!
The so-called Soul Demon, as the name suggested, was a special life form that advanced by devouring souls.
On the day the Soul Demon was born, heaven and earth changed color because of it. However, in a short time, it became a Demon King, a Great Demon King, and a Demon Venerable. Its speed of advancement was something that few humans and demons could match …
It was also because of this demon that the human side sent a total of eight Saint Venerables to encircle and kill it!
That was when Dong Qitian was still outside. It was the most tragic battle between humans and demons apart from the pinnacle of human and demon. Countless human experts encircled the Soul Demon!
Among the eight Saint Venerables at that time, Dong Qitian was the leader!
In other words, Dong Qitian had seen with his own eyes that the Soul Demon was smashed into pieces and turned into ashes. Its soul should have been annihilated, never to be reincarnated.
Now, however, this old demon was not dead. Not only was he not dead, but he had appeared alive in front of him, fighting against him!
Tricky!
Very tricky!
Thinking back to his action of letting Yun Yang attack first just now, it was extremely dangerous and critical. If the Soul Demon did not have the intention to ask questions and directly attacked to kill, even if Dong Qitian attacked with all his might, he might not be able to save Yun Yang in time!
After the blow, the Soul Demon stared at Dong Qitian and suddenly let out a strange laugh. The black robe covering his head slowly fell, revealing a human face with slender eyes that seemed to contain endless evil.
"Old friend, if you're not dead, how can I die?"
The Soul Demon's slender eyes looked at Dong Qitian eerily. "Back then, you, Supreme Saint Equaling Heaven, combined your seven swords into one, broke my chest, broke my heart meridians, crushed my internal organs, kicked me eighteen times in a row, and crushed my skull. This old man hasn't fully returned such a deep friendship to you. How can I bear to die?"
Dong Qitian regained his composure when he heard Hun Yao's words of extreme hatred. He chuckled and said, "Hun Yao, I'm truly surprised that you've escaped death and reappeared today. However, after that exchange just now … your cultivation base has regressed a lot compared to back then. You were not my opponent back then, and now, you're even less of a match for me! "
The Soul Demon's eyes flickered, and after a pause, he retorted sarcastically, "It's only been a few years since this old man died and came back to life. It's only right that I'm far from being your opponent. If this old man could defeat you, why would I be wasting words with you now? Even if your cultivation base is far superior, so what? Can you, Dong Qitian, kill me alone?"
Dong Qitian fell silent at once.
The Soul Demon's own attributes were unique. Born from the Demonic Spirit of Resentment, it possessed the ability of Demonic Primordial Qi and Qi incarnation. It was almost an all-pervasive existence. Dong Qitian had clearly captured it before, but the other party still managed to escape easily, which proved this point.
In that battle back then, the Eight Great Supreme Saints had gathered to use the Heaven and Earth Cage technique to completely seal off the four dimensions and countless spaces. Only then could the Soul Demon be completely trapped. Only by locking down the location of its true body could it be killed. Now, it was only Dong Qitian alone. His cultivation base was far superior, but it was another matter to completely block the Soul Demon's escape route!
Both sides knew the foundation of the other's strength, so there was no need to argue and add insult to injury!
In other words, even if the Soul Demon was now on his last breath, Dong Qitian alone was still unable to keep the other party!
"It's not up to you to decide whether I can kill you or not. We'll only know after we've fought. After all, we're old friends who meet again after a lifetime. It doesn't make sense not to fight to liven things up." Dong Qitian shook his head and chuckled.
The Soul Demon said coldly, "It turns out that all of this is your plot. What a coincidence!"
Dong Qitian did not deny it and said indifferently, "My original intention was just to catch a Demon King, but I never thought that I'd catch a big shark. I actually caught an old acquaintance, an old flame. I really don't know if I should say it's a coincidence or not."
The Soul Demon said, "You want this little cat demon?"
Dong Qitian narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
The Soul Demon laughed. "Why are you pretending to be confused? You've used so many tricks. Isn't it just to catch this little cat demon and bring it back? "
Dong Qitian pondered in his heart, his expression unchanged as he said indifferently, "Of course, I'm going to keep this little cat demon. However, if you, Soul Demon, don't stay, this little cat demon won't live long."
The Soul Demon frowned and asked warily, "What do you want?"
Dong Qitian said, "You and I know each other's strength. Although I can't kill you, it's not difficult to injure you again."
He narrowed his eyes and said faintly, "Soul Demon, you've recuperated for thousands of years after your last serious injury. If I were to injure you again, I wonder how long you'll need to recuperate? Thousands of years? Or tens of thousands of years? "
As soon as Dong Qitian said that, the Soul Demon hesitated.
After a long time, the Soul Demon gritted his teeth and said, "For the sake of our old friendship, I'll give in to you this time, Saint Master Equaling Heaven. Just tell me your conditions, won't you? "
Dong Qitian said, "I have two requests. The first is to remove the seal on the cat demon; the second, I'll ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully."
The Soul Demon snorted and said, "The first is no problem. Ask the second, I'll consider it."
"What's your relationship with Lei Qianli?"
Dong Qitian asked.
The Soul Demon's eyes revealed a sly glint as he said softly, "I can answer you directly. Lei Qianli and I … are also old acquaintances. This is the truth! "
Then, he laughed and flicked his hands. A few black lines rose from Bai Bingxuan and the other cat demons and returned to the Soul Demon's hands. Then, he leaped up and said, "Dong Qitian, you'd better live well. There's still time to settle the score between us!"
Amidst the laughter, the Soul Demon burst like a soap bubble under the sunlight in the air.
This move was inexplicably strange, but in fact, it was marvelous and amazing!
"Elder Dong, what is this? The Soul Demon? "Yun Yang was still shaken and terrified." It's amazing! "
The situation just now could be regarded as one of the greatest dangers Yun Yang had ever experienced in his life. He was infinitely close to death. Under the irresistible power of the Soul Demon, even if Yun Yang had the ability to change and the support of the manifestation powers, there was still no room for him to turn the situation around. He could only wait for his death.
And this was just a casual move from the Soul Demon!
What's more, listening to the conversation between Dong Qitian and the big demon, it was clear that the big demon's current state had fallen to the lowest point of his life, and the big demon was even inferior to Dong Qitian in the past when he was at his peak. Now that Dong Qitian was stronger than he was in the past, how strong could Dong Qitian be?
In the past, Yun Yang's understanding of Dong Qitian's cultivation base was beyond his understanding. Now that he thought about it, he had clearly underestimated it. Dong Qitian's cultivation base should be far beyond his understanding, or perhaps it was the pinnacle of this world!
"The Soul Spirit is a special life form rarely seen since ancient times. It's probably a place where too much power of the soul has gathered. Because of the special terrain of the place or the protection of the formation, it's difficult to disperse, thus turning it into spiritual consciousness. The Soul Demon, on the other hand, is a step further than ordinary Soul Spirits because the power of the soul that gives birth to its spirit is all demonic, so its nature is closer to that of a demon, possessing both characteristics."
Dong Qitian's expression was solemn. "Although the Soul Demon doesn't have the innate Qi, the bones of its father's soul, and the flesh of its mother's blood, and it can't cultivate to the pinnacle level in its lifetime, the Soul Demon is derived from the characteristics of a life form. It has many elusive means, almost no different from an immortal body … It's extremely difficult to deal with."
"Take the Old Demon Demon as an example. Although it's impossible for him to cultivate to the level of a Saint even if he exhausts his entire life, as long as he ascends to the pinnacle of the Supreme Saint, even ordinary Saint Lords would find it difficult to do anything to him!"
"There's one more thing. As long as it's alive, including the pinnacle of a Saint or even a Half-saint, their control of the power of the soul is absolutely incomparable to the Soul Demon."
Dong Qitian sighed softly. "This is a peerless scourge! I didn't expect that when the eight of us joined forces and crushed every inch of his power of the soul into dregs, he could still come back to life and stir up trouble again! "
"Then, how can we kill him?" Yun Yang asked cautiously.
"The Soul Demon comes and goes without a trace. Thousands of miles away, within a breath's reach; ever-changing, it's difficult to find his true form; invulnerable to blades and spears, invulnerable to water and fire; if there's danger, he'll be gone in a flash. The vast heaven and earth, the white clouds and the breeze — as long as he comes into contact with the various manifestations of heaven and earth, he can disappear with the momentum and be hard to find again!"
Yun Yang thought as Dong Qitian spoke. When Dong Qitian finished, Yun Yang's expression became very subtle and very pleasant.
It was wonderful.
Thousands of miles away, within a breath's reach; ever-changing, it's difficult to find his true form; invulnerable to blades and spears, invulnerable to water and fire; if there's danger, he'll be gone in a flash. The vast heaven and earth, the white clouds and breeze, the various manifestations of heaven and earth …
Was this talking about the Soul Demon … or Yun Yang?
