"What a treasure trove." Pei Zi Yun squinted. There were tens of thousands of statues below him. If he killed one, he could use the Plum Blossom to absorb its demonic soul. The statue would then form in his personal dimension, and the amount of spiritual energy he could absorb would increase.
The Plum Blossom was a treasure that could counter these demonic souls. Although there were countless of them, Pei Zi Yun could not help but drool, "With the Plum Blossom in my hands, even the Demon Emperor would have to avoid me."
At this point, a bright light flashed in the sky, as a thick beam of light appeared. The clouds within were extinguished, and a faint glow could be seen. It was as though the beam of light was being pulled by something. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the stage, and transformed into tens of people. In the middle was Cheng Yuan Zi, with his disciples following him.
As soon as they landed on the stage, Cheng Yuan Zi immediately understood, "This is the foundation of the Demon race, the Reincarnation Platform."
"As long as I can evolve further, and contribute to the Demon race, I will be able to ascend to the throne." Thinking up to this point, Cheng Yuan Zi glared at Pei Zi Yun, his eyes cold and filled with killing intent. He then shouted, "All disciples listen up, form a formation and kill him. Turn this man into dust."
All the disciples acknowledged the order.
"Daoist friend, please hold on."
At this point, a voice rang out. Cheng Yuan Zi turned around to look and could sense it. He knew that this person was also a candidate for the Demon Emperor. His heart turned cold. He saw that the blind Daoist was dressed in official robes, and his demonic aura was restrained. He had a third eye between his brows, and his body shone with a metallic luster.
"Who are you?" Cheng Yuan Zi asked in a low voice.
The blind Daoist smiled and did not reply. He then took a step forward, and the entire stage lit up. Ripples spread out, intertwining with each other. All the statues started to light up, and merged into one.
In an instant, Cheng Yuanzi and his disciple felt a powerful force appear on their bodies, locking them down and rendering them unable to move. Cheng Yuanzi could not help being enraged, and he struggled with all his might, wanting to break free.
"Boom!" Although the flowing light trembled, it was unable to break free. This force seemed to be able to counter the demonic aura. His face turned cold, "Who are you? Demon race? But the Demon race obviously doesn't have a ruler. How do you have the power to restrict them? What do you want? "
"This is the Myriad Demon Grand Array. In this world, no one has ascended to the throne of the Demon Race. However, the Demon Race has passed through countless worlds, so they naturally have their own secret arts." As soon as the Blind Daoist spoke, the complex pattern expanded until it encompassed the entire statue. The complex pattern then transformed into an enchantment that spun slowly.
Cheng Yuanzi's expression was bewildered. He stared at the blind Daoist but did not speak.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems like you don't believe me." As the Blind Daoist spoke, he tossed out a ray of light, "I'll be honest. You and I are both candidates for the position of Demon King. However, the situation now is different."
"Our Demon Race has just arrived in this world, and our foundation is shallow. We are in a precarious situation, so we have no choice but to unite to overcome this crisis."
"If the demon race is destroyed, our foundation will immediately turn to dust, and there will be no future to speak of. The inside story, you will understand after reading the spiritual light."
Cheng Yuanzi had a doubtful expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he took the Spirit Light and read it. As soon as he read it, all sorts of information appeared in the Spirit Light. He instinctively felt that the information inside was not fake, and his expression softened.
The Blind Daoist waved his hands and laughed. He then raised his head and looked up at the grey sky, "This world has ill intentions towards our Demon Race. But in order for that to happen, we need a medium."
"I've checked before on the Reincarnation Platform. If Pei Zi Yun kills our Demon Race, the imprint of our Demon Race will disappear. In the previous world, there were similar examples."
"This is proof that the world has sent the Son of Destiny. It's very dangerous. We have to work together to kill him. As for the competition between us, that's the internal affairs of our Demon Race."
"Son of Destiny? Competition between us? " Cheng Yuanzi was an Earth Immortal after all. It wasn't difficult for him to read this information. Gradually, his expression softened before turning serious again.
"That's right. The Son of Destiny has the source of the Heaven and Earth within him. Hence, when he kills our Demon Race, the imprint of our Demon Race will be devoured by the source of the Heaven and Earth. On the surface, it looks like we've killed our Demon Race and destroyed our Demon Race."
"In reality, it's more or less the same. The source of the Heaven and Earth will devour the imprint of our Demon Race, and the speed at which it digests will increase. Once it's completely devoured, our Demon Race will be destroyed."
"It's just that it's not as fast as we think."
The Yin Master disciple behind Cheng Yuanzi was struggling frantically. However, he was restrained by the array. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move at all. He couldn't change the situation at all. The blind Daoist didn't even look at him as he continued, "In such a situation, we have to use the Thousand Demon Array to isolate the outside world from the outside world. We have to imprison this person and his source."
"But the source is the essence of the Heaven and Earth. It's colorless and formless. The Thousand Demon Array can't imprison it for too long. If the time is up and we can't find it, we'll be punished by the Heavens. Our Demon Race would then be ostracized by the Heavens and Earth."
"Hence, in order to achieve victory in one go, we have to leave a mark on this source. Only then can it be easily found and obtained." The blind Daoist had a smile on his face. His tone was neither hurried nor slow as he explained everything to Cheng Yuanzi.
As Cheng Yuanzi read through the contents of the spiritual light, his expression changed and turned dark, 'Hence, we have to send people to their deaths and let the source devour more demonic souls. Because the demonic souls are very strong, they can't be digested immediately. Hence, the colorless and formless source would be tainted with demonic Qi, making it easier to detect and imprison it?'
The contents of the spiritual light caused Cheng Yuanzi to tremble in disbelief.
"That's right!" The blind Daoist pointed. In an instant, an image appeared in the air around the enchantment. Tens of stars appeared and enlarged. They were all demonic souls of different shapes and sizes.
"These are the demonic souls that have been killed and taken away, but have not been digested. Although the source is strong, the mark of our Demon Race allows us to traverse through space. It's not that easy to digest."
"As long as it hasn't been completely destroyed, we will be able to sense it. However, just this number alone is not enough. We have to send more over, until we can completely lock onto this source."
"Only then can we kill Pei Zi Yun in one fell swoop and obtain the source." The blind Daoist spoke calmly. However, even someone as calm as Cheng Yuanzi felt a chill in his heart. These were demonic souls that were equivalent to Yin Masters. Were they going to be sacrificed just like that?
One had to know that as long as they were devoured by the source, the Demon Race would be completely destroyed.
"Is it worth it to pay such a huge price?" Cheng Yuanzi wasn't afraid. His gaze was deep. He wanted to ascertain the laws of his race.
"It's worth it!" The blind Daoist spoke resolutely. He then turned to Cheng Yuanzi, "There are no free benefits in this world. Since you have become a member of the Demon Race, you will enjoy the lifespan and protection of the Demon Race. Of course, you will have responsibilities and sacrifices."
"Daoist friend, you may not understand the value of this source. As long as you obtain this, you will have the permission of the Heavens and Earth. Even if you don't have the authority, you can still wash your name clean and become a native of this world."
"Instead of being punished by the Heavens and Earth, you will always be killed."
"Daoist friend, you are an intelligent person. Naturally, you know the meaning of this step. As long as this step is successful, the Demon Race will have a thousand years of glory."
"For this to happen, any sacrifice is necessary."
"Think about it. Throughout the ages, killing countless people. How terrifying is that? If we don't have this source, how can we ensure the future of the Demon Race? Daoist friend, I won't deny that you and I are both candidates for the Demon King's position. Whoever contributes to the Demon Race will become the next Demon King. Now, where will you go from here? "The blind Daoist looked at Cheng Yuanzi as he spoke.
Cheng Yuanzi's expression flickered as he felt like he had been tricked. How could he not know that the Blind Daoist was one step ahead of him, or that the Origin Crystals were given by the Blind Daoist?
"Granting your life and death to your enemy. Do you agree or not?" Cheng Yuan Zi fell silent as he stared at the Blind Daoist. A hint of hatred flashed across his eyes.
After two hundred years of being a leader, how could he be deceived by such words? But just thinking about it made him feel a chill.
"The Dark Altar Sect's Paradise has been closed to me."
"I've already transformed into a demon and am wanted by the imperial court. The heavens and earth cannot tolerate me."
"Damn it, I no longer have a way out." Cheng Yuanzi instantly understood and clenched his teeth tightly. He understood that he had fallen into a trap and had become a pawn in the river. He could only advance and not retreat. The only way out was to continuously advance and strive to swim upstream.
Furthermore, his lifespan was indeed coming to an end. At that time, he had no choice but to use Origin Crystals.
This thought flashed through Cheng Yuanzi's mind. His expression could not be seen. He only replied, "I am now a member of the Yao Race. Naturally, I will serve the Yao Race."
The Blind Daoist laughed as he looked at Cheng Yuan Zi, "Fellow Daoist, to have such thoughts is a blessing for the Yao Race."
Cheng Yuan Zi's heart skipped a beat. The killing intent in Cheng Yuan Zi's heart was very clear. The crystal that Cheng Yuan Zi had used to transform into a demon was given to him by him. It was a part of him. Hence, Cheng Yuan Zi was his descendant. Unless Cheng Yuan Zi completely refined the crystal and erased all traces of him, it would be difficult for him to break free from the Blind Daoist's influence.
Of course, Cheng Yuan Zi was an Earth Immortal and was one of the strongest people in this world. It would be difficult to control him directly. However, as long as Cheng Yuan Zi appeared to submit to the Blind Daoist, he would be able to help him.
Everything else aside, this was the core of the demon race's Reincarnation Platform. If he agreed to this, it would be extremely useful.
"Boom!" Just as he was thinking about this, a thunderous sound rang out from Paradise, attracting the Blind Daoist's attention. He then laughed, "Pei Zi Yun sensed us and came over."
"Controlling the Imperial Qi in midair. Looks like Pei Zi Yun is indeed an Earth Immortal. He's really impressive."
Pei Zi Yun had brought along the Imperial Qi of the Imperial Court, but this was King Lu's Paradise. He would definitely be repelled or suppressed. Even if someone sensed him, it would be the army of the Imperial Court.
At this point, a meteor fell from the sky, carrying with it a spiritual glow. It smashed into the sky not too far away from the platform. With a loud "boom", the entire barrier shook as a hole appeared in it. The meteor landed on the ground, causing a huge ripple.
The Dao Arts and the Imperial Qi had dissipated at this point, revealing Pei Zi Yun. He wasn't too far away from the platform. In a split second, the sound of the meteor landing attracted the attention of all the demon soldiers.
Pei Zi Yun revealed himself. The sky was filled with grey snow, and there was a layer of snow on the ground. Every step he took left a deep footprint.
"The snow has demonic Qi?" Pei Zi Yun paused as he stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake. The snow in his palm turned into smoke and dissipated into the air.
"King Lu's Paradise has become a nest of demons. I'm afraid it's hard to find a place with more demonic Qi than this place." Pei Zi Yun scanned his surroundings and saw that within the palace, there were many demons walking about. They were all lined up in formation, forming an army. Their expressions were fierce and ferocious.
"These demons have already grown up. Their military laws are strict, and they are lined up in formation. How can there be so many demons?"
The demon soldiers had already arrived. Pei Zi Yun's Imperial Qi was faintly discernible. The eyes of the demon soldiers were filled with fervor and fear.
"These demon soldiers aren't fearless. As an Earth Immortal, I've already displayed my prowess in the underworld." Pei Zi Yun took one look and understood.
