The old man was dumbfounded by Xu Que's reply. After a while, he muttered, "Do you know who I am …"
"Yes, the Immortal Emperor, the one who died."
"Then why did you reject me?"
"I am a monk. I don't accept handouts," Xu Que said righteously again.
'Hmph, do you think I'm an idiot?'
'Who gives inheritance like this?'
Xu Que rolled his eyes in his heart. He did not even need to think to know that there was definitely a trap.
Most importantly, the black aura that surged out just now felt very familiar to him.
Not long ago, he had just felt that power in the God Extermination Desert.
The fiendish aura of an otherworldly demon!
After connecting what happened before and after entering the Primordial Mystic Dimension, Xu Que already had some guesses in his heart.
This guess shocked him greatly. He even started to suspect that something similar had happened within the Heavenly Gates.
"Old man, don't beat around the bush. I know you're not the dead Immortal Emperor." There was no one around, so Xu Que did not plan to hide anymore. "Why did you capture me alone? Just tell me."
The old man was stunned, and his expression turned ferocious. "How did you know?"
"If I had to say, your IQ is indeed quite low. You made so many cloud-patterned stones as keys to attract a large number of cultivators. If I'm not wrong, the guardian at the beginning was not that strong, right?" Xu Que sneered. "You made the guardian like this so that the cultivators would die at the first stage. As for what exactly you want … I think you want to escape, right?"
"Did I say anything wrong? Otherworldly demon. "
Xu Que looked straight at the old man and said word by word.
The old man's expression completely darkened. He stared at Xu Que viciously. "Who exactly are you? How do you know my background? "
Xu Que was instantly amused. "I was just casually bluffing and you said it. Are you that gullible? Stop being an otherworldly demon and go back to work in a factory. "
"Hmph, since you know, I can't let you live anymore."
The old man raised his hand and waved. A thick demonic aura instantly gushed out and enveloped Xu Que.
Xu Que knew that he had guessed correctly.
The entire Primordial Mystic Dimension had been a conspiracy from the very beginning.
So many Cloud-Patterned Stones, including the Guardians, were all created by this old man.
His goal was to attract a large number of cultivators into this place to provide him with food to escape. This was also the reason why there was both Immortal Essence and Demonic Qi in the Cloud-Patterned Stones.
That old man was an Extraterrestrial Demon.
As for why the Immortal Emperor's inheritance would have an Extraterritorial Fiend, Xu Que did not know. This old man must have discovered that he had actually defeated the Protector, so he was anxious and thought of a way to single him out.
If he agreed to inherit the Immortal Emperor's inheritance, he might never be able to leave.
"I've been locked up here by that damned Immortal Emperor for ten thousand years. Now that I finally have the chance to escape, how can I let a cultivator who hasn't even grasped the Great Dao ruin my plans!" The old man said coldly, "This demonic qi is something that this old man has refined for many years. You can turn into a skeleton inside it."
With that, the old man turned and left.
There were still so many cultivators to deal with, and he had tried his best to get rid of the suppression. As long as he could devour this group of cultivators, he would definitely be able to escape from this place.
Thinking of this, the old man's face became more and more ferocious. "When this old man gets out, the Celestial Cloud Continent will be littered with corpses!"
"What are you talking about?" A voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked to the side and found that Xu Que was looking at him with a smile.
"How did you escape?" The old man looked back and forth in disbelief and found that his Demonic Qi had disappeared.
Xu Que followed his gaze and said with a smile, "You mean that mass of Demonic Qi? I ate it. "
"Ate, ate it?" The old man thought to himself, You're bragging without a draft!
That is the Demonic Qi that this old man has refined for many years. Even if an Immortal Emperor absorbs it, he won't feel any better.
You, a guy in the Immortal King Realm, dare to say that?
"Scoundrel, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth …" The old man raised his hand and tried to grab Xu Que's head.
Xu Que just tilted his head and dodged. He directly grabbed the old man's hand and said with a sneer, "Old man, do you really think you're an Immortal King?"
As soon as he met the old man, Xu Que had already asked the System to start the analysis, and now the results were out.
This old man did not have a physical body and was completely composed of Demonic Qi.
Since it was Demonic Qi, then it was easy to swallow it!
The old man was just about to pull his hand out when his expression changed and he said in horror, "What are you doing? This old man's body … Ah … Stop! "
Strands of Demonic Qi surged from the old man's body and were absorbed into Xu Que's body.
"Ding, reminder to the host that if you absorb this Demonic Qi, the progress will fall back to 50%." The System's voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Que sighed, "Continue to absorb it. Do you think you can let him go?"
As the old man screamed in horror, his entire body completely turned into Demonic Qi and was absorbed into Xu Que's body.
Xu Que let out a long breath and felt the heavy feeling in his body. He shook his head helplessly.
Fine, not only did he not get the legacy, his progress had also fallen back.
However, he still had to get some benefits. The giant that he had defeated was now placed in the System.
Although this Immortal Emperor's legacy was a trap, the rules of the protector were not outlined. As long as he defeated the other party, he could take it.
The Extraterrestrial Demons disappeared and this space also started to collapse.
At the last second before it disappeared, Xu Que saw a ball of golden light shining in the void.
"System, put that thing away for me!"
Xu Que hurriedly said.
His sixth sense told him that it would be the biggest reward in this Primordial Mystery Land!
The next moment, the space completely collapsed.
Xu Que felt dizzy and his vision blurred. Then, he appeared outside the Primordial Mystery Land.
Apart from him, the other cultivators who entered the Primordial Mystery Land were also looking left and right with confused expressions.
"Strange, why did we come out?"
"Didn't we already defeat the protector? Did we fail? "
"Impossible, did we come here for nothing?"
Murong Yunhai, who was standing together with his junior brothers, vaguely sensed a familiar aura flashing past him.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a familiar figure flying into the distance.
From the angle of the figure, it seemed to be … Master Tang Xuanzang?
"Sigh, let's go." Murong Yunhai sighed and turned to leave with his junior brothers. "The legacy of the Primordial Mystery Land has probably been taken by someone."
He had a feeling that perhaps in the near future, he would meet Master Tang Xuanzang again …
Once Xu Que left the Primordial Mystery Land, he ran madly, his heart filled with joy.
This time, he had really hit the jackpot!
