(PS: Today is the birthday of the Deputy Moderator of this book, Ji Ningyu. Happy birthday to Little Yu.)
"Whether it is the Devil of Aged Metal or the other Supreme Devils, they all desire to be reborn after death." The Brocade Emperor said mildly, "Their rebirth requires other lifeforms as their incarnations. It all depends on fate. A compatible incarnation might be right before their eyes, but if not, it is not impossible to wait for another ten million years."
Meng Wan hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "What is considered compatible?"
The Brocade Emperor said, "That is not certain. It depends on whether the fleshly body and the soul are compatible, having nothing to do with one's cultivation base or talent in the martial dao. Therefore, it is hard to predict."
He suddenly smiled, "Even among the four of us here, it is hard to say whether there are any suitable ones."
Hearing her father's words, Meng Wan did not show any special reaction as she just looked rather worriedly at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge understood that she was worried about Feng Yunsheng.
Her worry was not without reason.
It was not just the Devil of Aged Metal who was one of the Six Supreme Devils. There were also many experts amongst the devils beneath the Twelve Devilish Gods who might be lying in ambush, searching for incarnations so that they could rise from the ashes and return to the world.
There were no lack of great experts amongst them.
The Twelve Devilish Gods were just too distant a concept for most people.
The other devils were more direct and easier to come into contact with.
Yan Zhaoge exhaled slowly, many thoughts instantly flashing through his mind.
"Let's not touch this place. Since it is the relic of our predecessors, it can also obstruct the Nine Underworlds from corroding space," The Encompassing Emperor said as he looked at Yan Zhaoge and the Brocade Emperor.
Yan Zhaoge and the Brocade Emperor both nodded, "That makes sense."
After glancing at those two intersecting sword-lights one last time, Yan Zhaoge's group left the foreign dimension formed of sword-intent and thunderbolts.
As they ventured deeper into the Nine Underworlds, even the Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor would have to raise their vigilance.
The numerous devils of the Nine Underworlds before them were getting stronger and stronger.
While they still could not trouble them, as they ventured deeper, it was completely possible that they might even encounter devils that were comparable to Immortal realm experts.
Of the three of them, the Brocade Emperor executed the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form which was illusory yet illusory, was illusory yet real.
The Encompassing Emperor had studied the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage's Primordial Heavenly Scripture. It possessed boundless transformations and was beneficial for concealment.
Yan Zhaoge did not use the foundation of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, just circulating the first art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, the Concealed Shadow art and the twelfth art, the Peerless Infinity art, he was similarly hard to find.
In this way, their group was incomparably low-key. At least they didn't attract the attention of peak Great Demons from afar.
However, it was extremely difficult to search for traces of Feng Yunsheng in the Nine Underworlds.
Yan Zhaoge and the others could only take the risk and try to capture the Nine Underworlds Devils to try to find out more about Feng Yunsheng, hoping that there would be a Devil who had met Feng Yunsheng before.
The devils of the Netherworld were either bloodthirsty and violent, evil and strange, or cunning and full of lies.
It was not an easy task to extract useful information from their mouths.
There were many methods of punishment used on humans, but their effects were limited on the devils of the Nine Underworlds. Moreover, this was the territory of the Nine Underworlds, so it was difficult to make a big fuss.
In the end, they managed to capture a Great Devil that had once fought against Feng Yunsheng. While the Great Devil had a violent temperament, it didn't lose its rationality. Finally, Yan Zhaoge and the others obtained some useful information.
To a human like Feng Yunsheng who had ventured into the Nine Underworlds alone, this Great Demon had left a deep impression on her.
The wounds on his body had yet to heal, and it was impossible for him to forget his opponent.
According to the information obtained from the Great Devil, Yan Zhaoge's group continued advancing.
Boundless scorched earth suddenly appeared on the pitch-black Nine Underworld Soil in front of him. In the dusky world, flames spread and burned as if there was no end to it.
However, even though there was a sea of fire in front of him, the world still seemed dark.
The fire did not dispel the darkness and bring peace. Instead, it gave people an ominous feeling.
"This looks like the abode of a Netherworld Demon Emperor," said the Encompassing Emperor after observing for a while.
Although he said that, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping and directly stepped onto the scorched earth.
The Brocade Emperor smiled, similarly not halting as he walked alongside the Encompassing Emperor.
Looking at the scorched earth and the sea of flames, Meng Wan murmured, "It is rather similar to the Flame Devils of that year."
Yan Zhaoge said as he walked, "The Flame Devils that rampaged through our Eight Extremities World that year were not devils of the Nine Underworlds. Instead, they were spirits of fire of earlier birth. Still, they were similarly tainted with devilish intent when they were first born. Therefore, it is not wrong to call them 'Flame Devils'."
"Tracing back to their roots, their true intent originated from an expert of pre-Great Calamity times, the Flame Devil Emperor." Yan Zhaoge explained, "The Flame Devil Emperor's original title should have been the Heavenly Fire Emperor. Still, it is said that he later analysed the devilish dao. While he did not become a devil on the spot, he walked very deeply on that path. Therefore, there is much debate about it."
Meng Wan nodded in understanding.
"Still, he is unrelated to the Great Devil who occupies the position of Third Fire of the Six Supreme Devils," Yan Zhaoge said, "In history, the Devil of Third Fire once produced the Fire Devil, the Yang Devil and the Blazing Devil."
"Our Eight Extremities World that year only referred to the Flame Devils based on their characteristics and temperament."
Hearing this, Meng Wan nodded, "There is probably no one in the Eight Extremities World who knows about the Six Supreme Devils. It is naturally impossible for them to know about the Devil of Third Fire."
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge could not help but smile. Meng Wan smiled as well, "You, senior apprentice-brother Yan, are not included."
While they were smiling, their brows were knit into a knot as they gazed at the barren, scorched earth that stretched for billions of li.
They quickly arrived at the core region of this place.
There were no other devils to be seen on the scorched earth as it was like none of them dared to invade this territory.
Soon, a massive devilish palace appeared before Yan Zhaoge and the others.
The entire palace was completely formed of flames. It was a thousand feet tall as the walls and pavilions of the palace were all blazing as it instilled fear in one's heart.
"Senior apprentice-sister Feng, have we entered this place?" Having entered alongside the Brocade Emperor, the Encompassing Emperor and Yan Zhaoge, Meng Wan was not afraid of the scene before her as she appraised the devilish palace of flame that resembled a kingdom of giants.
The Brocade Emperor and the Encompassing Emperor exchanged glances, "Why does it look like this place is all bark and no bite? The Devil Emperor is not here? Has he gone out or has he already perished? "
Outside the devilish domain's scorched earth, due to the inherent restrictions of devilish qi, numerous devils dared not approach.
Still, it was tight on the outside while loose on the inside. Having truly arrived here, it was immediately apparent that something was wrong.
"Yunsheng indeed did not come here for a reason …" Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes into slits.
They did not hesitate as they directly entered within.
The majestic, towering devilish palace of flame was completely empty.
It was only when they had arrived at the centre of the devilish palace that they suddenly felt the shocking devilish qi surging to the heavens.
Still, it seemed to have been suppressed as it was at the end of its path as it was exceptionally weak.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "The aura is exactly the same as that of the devilish palace of scorched earth. It is the original owner of this place, that Emperor amongst devils."
"From the looks of it, after being slain, he was reborn in the Nine Underworlds due to being undying and imperishable. Yet, his rebirth was suppressed by someone such that he was unable to succeed."
The Encompassing Emperor carefully sensed the changes in the devilish qi, "He has already perished a long time ago, probably thousands of years ago. Who did this?"
