Unlike the fertile plains of the central continent, the continent of daemons was filled with mountains and lakes. Mist lingered over the mountains and lakes, soaking into the endless forests and making them even more verdant.
There was no right or wrong here. It only followed the most ancient law of nature: natural selection, survival of the fittest.
A large river flowed like a dragon between the mountains and rivers. Suddenly, it swam to a cliff and suddenly soared into the sky. It flew straight down and turned into a thousand-foot waterfall, stirring up a mist that filled the sky.
Passing through the mist and arriving behind the waterfall, there was another world hidden there. A dwelling was hidden there. It was where the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers gathered.
It blocked out the rumbling of water. The quiet dwelling was pitch-black, without any light at all.
A pair of dark-green cat eyes were extraordinarily large. With a single blink, they illuminated the darkness.
"Sigh, the Nine-tailed Fox Empress might be noble and powerful, but it's a pity that she's evil!"
Xuanyue held her cheeks in distress. With her rather impressive innate spiritual beast bloodline and a certain person's care, she had already undergone the third heavenly tribulation. She was seventeen or eighteen years old now.
During the battle of Jadeite palace, she had suffered a strike from Little Ann. Afterwards, she used her innate abilities to come back from the dead and break free from the Nine-tailed Fox Empress Su Mingrao's charms, fleeing far away from the Dragon province. Afterwards, the nine provinces were devoured by the Space-devouring Beasts, and a certain person discovered her in the wilderness of the Frost province. He casually tossed her to the continent of daemons.
Although she was filled with resentment towards Su Mingrao for using her as a shield, she often could not help but miss the beautiful, luxurious Jadeite palace. She could not help but let out another long sigh. "Meow …"
Suddenly, she clenched her tiny fists and tried her best to pull herself together. "As a meow, I still have to rely on myself. Don't you agree, Big Black?"
Two dolls were placed before her. One of them was woven from black cloth. The ends of the thread were crooked, and there was a ball of fur inside. It seemed like a standing, black ox, but it was so fat that it basically had no neck. The two words "Northmoon" were carefully engraved on the horns on its head. It was the "Big Blacko" she mentioned.
"Yes, yes, Master Xuan Yue, you are the smartest meow!" Dahei nodded attentively, but the voice came from her mouth, answering her own question in a hoarse voice.
"I'm completely free now. Free, do you know what that means?"
Xuanyue's face was filled with fascination, as if she had returned to the distant Boundless mountains. She yearned for the distant Dragon province and taught a lesson to some "bumpkin daemon".
"I don't understand. What is that? Is it edible?" Dahei shook its head for a while, indicating that it knew nothing.
"Haha, what an idiot! Freedom is the best thing in the world. "
"And you, Xiao Bai, although you stabbed me with your sword, I don't blame you. Who asked you to be so foolish?"
The other puppet was carved from white wood. It was a small skeleton, and it held a small white sword in its hand. As expected, it appeared to be a little dull. However, even though she said that she didn't blame her, her nose wrinkled up.
"Aiya, it's disconnected again! Sigh, you're nodding and shaking your head. It'd be strange if you weren't happy! "
She found a needle and thread in a flurry and suddenly calculated with her fingers. "Wait, it seems like it's about time. Whatever, Dahei, I'll help you mend it when I get back. You and Xiao Bai stay at home obediently. I'm going to go eat something delicious! "She patted the heads of the two puppets and tossed aside the needle and thread. She leapt up gracefully and vanished.
Without the support of her daemon qi, Dahei immediately collapsed on the ground, but it suddenly sneered.
The moon hung high in the sky, full and round like a silver plate. It shone with a clear, cold light, but it seemed larger than usual.
Amidst the mountains, she was squatting on a bare hill, looking up at the bright moon. Her pupils shrunk like two almonds.
This place was very close to her dwelling. Normally, this hill was not some kind of spiritual mountain, but one day, she discovered a secret …
As the moon rose into the sky, the spiritual qi became denser and denser, almost visible to the naked eye. The moonlight seemed to accumulate layer by layer on the hill. In an instant, it was covered with a layer of halo, which was particularly conspicuous among the mountains.
She breathed in and out the extremely dense spiritual qi, and her smiling eyes curved into two crescent moons.
At this moment, a daemon qi rose into the sky and swept quickly from the east.
Rumbling, the mountains swayed, the earth shook, and the giant trees fell.
A big black bear that was the size of a small hill strode over from the mountains. The towering trees under its feet were like weeds that fell to the ground. It was a demon thearch that had undergone four heavenly tribulations. Its bear eyes were like searchlights, and it was staring at this small hill. It was overjoyed. This is it. The rumors are true! However, it ignored Xuan Yue who was on the mountain peak.
"Get away from me, stinky bear! This is my territory!"
Xuan Yue's tail was erect, her hair was bristling, and she bared her teeth, making a threatening sound. However, in front of this huge black bear Demon Emperor, it was really not much of a deterrent.
"Your territory?"
Black Bear Demon Emperor's eyes flashed a touch of surprise. He didn't expect that she would dare to not escape. Although he knew that the forest within a radius of hundreds of miles belonged to a cat demon, he obviously didn't take a Demon King seriously.
"Haha, from now on, everything here belongs to me. If you are willing to submit to me, I will spare …"
He suddenly stopped, but it was not because of her. He raised his huge bear head and looked at the sky. He saw a strong daemon qi rising from the sky, and their target was this small hill, whistling through the air.
Some were black-scaled pythons riding on clouds, and some were flying cranes with wings covering the sky … They were all famous great monsters in this demon continent. Without exception, they were all Demon Emperors. Except for her, ordinary Demon Kings didn't dare to come within a thousand miles.
Black Bear Demon Emperor was shocked. "It's really not so easy to monopolize this' Emperor Molasses'!"
Emperor Molasses was a natural phenomenon that only existed in the big world with rich spiritual qi.
On the night of Gengshen, the moonlight would condense into thousands of strands of Supreme Essence, which would fall from the sky. The benefits were unbelievably great. Even ordinary plants could become monsters if they obtained it.
However, the conditions for this' Emperor Molasses' to descend were quite harsh. Not only did it require the right time, but it also required the right place. It had to be a kind of magnet called 'Green Autumn Stone' that didn't absorb iron. Only then could it trigger the reaction of heaven and earth, attract the gathering of spiritual qi, and attract the 'Emperor Molasses' to descend.
The small hill under Xuanyue's butt was a Green Autumn Stone Mountain, and it "happened" to be within her territory.
However, an ordinary man's wealth was his own ruin.
In an instant, a group of monsters gathered and surrounded the small hill, all of them staring at it with bright eyes.
It hadn't been long since the Five Continents were upgraded to an existence that could accommodate five heavenly tribulations. The cultivation speed of the Demon Race was far slower than that of humans, and this demon continent had yet to produce a Demon Emperor.
Xuanyue was much stronger than Li Long in terms of foundation, bloodline, and heavenly favor, but she was only at the third heavenly tribulation. The cultivation method of the Demon Race determined that if one wanted to advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds, they would have to have a great fortune.
"Emperor Molasses" was such a great fortune. Whoever could get it would become a Demon King and turn the entire Demon Continent into their hunting ground. All the Demon Clans would have to bow down to them and become the leader of all the Demon Beasts in the world.
Thus, all the Demon Emperors were determined to obtain this' Emperor Molasses'.
Unlike humans, the Demon Race did not like to communicate. In addition, in order to fight for territory, they had already formed countless enmity, so there was no possibility of negotiation. They could only use the most primitive method to communicate. The winner would stay, and the loser would scram.
However, they were all afraid that others would benefit from it, so they didn't dare to make the first move. Huge waves of Demon Qi collided with each other, constantly clashing and rising rapidly.
The bright moon rose higher and higher, becoming brighter and bigger. The huge figures of the group of monsters intertwined, enveloping her petite figure.
"All of you, go away! This is what Big Black gave me!" Xuanyue shouted.
Many pairs of eyes looked over. Her figure shrank, and she immediately felt a huge pressure. However, she immediately puffed out her chest proudly.
The Black Bear Demon Emperor shouted, "You little kitty, are you not afraid of death?" She actually dared to be noisy in front of a group of Demon Emperors. When the battle started, the aftermath would take her little life.
"I think you're the one who's not afraid of death. Do you know how fierce my Big Black is? I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you. His real name is' North Moon ', hmph hmph! "
"North Moon, what's that? Get him out here. I'll kill him with one slap! "
The Flying Crane Demon Emperor suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Wait, what's your relationship with Li Qingshan?"
He was one of the Ten Demon Kings of the Nine States — Cloud Prefecture's Shadow Cloud Crane King. His cultivation had long reached the peak of the third heavenly tribulation. However, because the ascension heavenly tribulation was difficult to pass, he remained in the Demon King Realm. Following the rise of the Five States World, he also passed the fourth heavenly tribulation. However, he did not forget the name "North Moon".
All the demons were horrified. Perhaps they did not remember or even heard of the famous "North Moon Demon King", but it was impossible for them not to know "Li Qingshan". He was the ruler of this world. Although there was almost no news of him after he left on the Kun Peng, he was still a respectable existence.
"He's my pet. Hehe, are you afraid now?" Xuanyue put her hands on her waist and said proudly.
All the demons looked at each other and burst into laughter. Their laughter echoed among the mountains.
The Black Bear Demon Emperor laughed so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes. "You said that Li Qingshan is your pet! Haha, it seems that he has really left this world. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive! "
"He hasn't left. He has always been here. I can feel it. You guys don't know anything!" Xuanyue was so angry that her face turned red. "Don't laugh!"
In that instant, the laughter stopped abruptly.
All the demons opened their eyes wide. A figure appeared behind her. No one saw clearly how or when he appeared.
There was a smile on his lips. His fangs were slightly exposed. He had red hair and red eyes. His horns were curved like the moon. He was just like the legends.
This had always been the tiger's territory.
The air seemed to have frozen. A strange atmosphere deterred all the Demon Emperors. They could not move at all.
At this moment, the spiritual light on the hill had already accumulated to a height of several tens of feet. Suddenly, it surged upwards and connected with the moonlight in the sky. It condensed into an olive-shaped spiritual light that fell from the moon. It was the extremely precious "Emperor Molasses". But none of the Demon Emperors dared to take a step forward.
Xuanyue blinked her eyes in confusion. How did her orders become so effective? "Hmph, now you finally know fear!"
She hurriedly held the "Emperor Molasses" with both hands. The fluorescent light shone on her face, and she immediately became happy.
The Shadow Cloud Crane King opened its mouth to say something. Li Qingshan put his index finger on his lips. All the demons were silent. He then waved his hand lightly. The Shadow Cloud Crane King immediately spread its wings and flew away without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, all the demons were gone. They were even faster than when they came. Especially that Black Bear Demon Emperor. He was not very good at flying. He crawled and rolled all the way. He only regretted that he was born with two bear paws.
When a fierce tiger came down the mountain, all the other beasts fled.
"A bunch of idiots. You sure run fast. You were scared to death meow! Aiya, so many! "
Drops of "Emperor Molasses" condensed in mid-air. They dragged along wisps of silver light like meteors.
Her figure flickered. She jumped here and there to catch them. She was like a cat swatting at fireflies.
Li Qingshan smiled and pointed to the sky.
In an instant, a meteor shower fell. Thousands of strands weaved the night sky. It was beautiful like a dream.
"So beautiful!" Her eyes widened. She was even happier. Then, she revealed a distressed expression. How was she supposed to catch so many!
She busied herself for most of the night. Satisfied, she returned to the cave abode under the waterfall. Lying on the soft bed, she grabbed "Big Black" and talked to it for a while. Then, she hugged it tightly. "Thank you, Big Black!"
"Master, you're welcome. This is what I should do."
"Hehe. Thank you too. Ah, I'm so sleepy. Meow Heaven will definitely mend it for you. "
She yawned and curled her body. She fell asleep in a daze. She muttered, "Big Black, freedom is so lonely!"
"I hope I can protect you well this time. Stay away from the wind and snow." Li Qingshan stayed by the bed and said soundlessly.
Xuanyue woke up with a start. Her ears pricked up. "Big Black?!"
No one answered in the darkness.
