Obtaining the blood sword was equivalent to obtaining one of the two keys. It went so smoothly that Chen Zong and the other two had a surreal feeling.
Compared to the mausoleum of Chasing Life Demon Emperor, the Blood Sword Demon Emperor was so "friendly" that it was unbelievable.
After obtaining the blood sword, a rumbling sound was heard again. Then, a corner of the mausoleum cracked open, revealing two stairs. One led to the top and the other led to the bottom.
Going up should be the way to leave, and going down should be the way to enter the fifth floor of the mausoleum. Chen Zong and the other two did not hesitate and immediately stepped onto the stairs to enter the fifth floor. At the same time, they were a little confused.
Didn't they say that they needed two keys to enter the mausoleum of Xing Gu Demon Emperor?
With doubts, the three stepped onto the stairs and went down. They could feel that the stairs were winding and seemed to be very long. It felt like there was no end to it, but it was not really endless.
After Chen Zong and the other two walked down the stairs, they appeared in a secret chamber. When the stairs were closed, it became a real secret chamber. It was very spacious and empty.
The three quickly spread out and searched carefully. Finally, they found two marks on a wall. One was a sword-shaped mark, and the other was a palm-shaped mark.
Chen Zong took out the blood sword and compared it with the other one. He found that it matched the sword-shaped mark.
Keys!
The two marks were the marks of the two keys. Looking at the shape, the other one should be a palm-shaped mark. Chen Zong and the other two did not get it.
They could not move forward or leave. They could only wait here silently.
After an unknown amount of time, the flight of stairs finally appeared again, immediately attracting the attention of Chen Zong and the other two, who all stared at it.
After a while, a young figure walked down with his hands behind his back. It was a young man, so young that he looked a little too young. Behind the young man, there were two middle-aged men with similar appearances. They had grim expressions on their faces, and they emitted a terrifying aura that was incomparably condensed. It was like a mountain, but also like a tsunami.
Very strong!
In an instant, Chen Zong and the other two sensed the aura of the two middle-aged Demon Dwellers and the threat they posed.
Apex Devil King Realm experts, those were two apex Devil King Realm experts. Apex Devil King Realm experts that could threaten them were no small matter.
Apex Demon King was a title, and there were some differences between the strong and the weak.
Powerful top-notch Demon Kings had the ability to suppress relatively weaker top-notch Demon Kings. There were even powerful top-notch Demon Kings that could slightly contend against Demon Emperors.
For example, Chen Zong and the other two were the kind of top Devil Kings who could barely contend with the Devil Emperor. As for these two middle-aged Devils, they could pose a threat to them. Perhaps their strength was not as strong as theirs, but it was very close.
As for the young man in the lead, he was also a Devil King with a very strong aura.
"It's the three of you who took the treasures of Life Chasing Devil Emperor and Blood Sword Devil Emperor. Hand them over." Shu Muyuan had a faint smile on his face as he stared at Chen Zong and the other two. His tone was light, but it contained an unquestionable feeling. It was as though the moment he said it, Chen Zong and the other two would have to obey.
The two middle-aged Devil King Realm experts had cold expressions as they stared at Chen Zong and the other two with an indifferent gaze, emitting an invisible pressure.
The inheritance of Life Chasing Devil Emperor and Blood Sword Devil Emperor?
In fact, Chen Zong and the other two didn't get it. But would the other party believe them if they said they didn't get it?
They probably wouldn't believe them. Moreover, Chen Zong and the other two weren't the kind of people who liked to open their mouths and explain things to strangers. There was no need for them to explain.
"From the looks of it, you guys don't intend to hand it over." Shu Muyuan smiled. "Since that's the case, I can only search through your corpses."
As the sound of his voice faded, the two apex Devil King Realm experts beside Shu Muyuan immediately erupted. Their terrifying auras exploded. One was as solid as a mountain, crushing everything in its path. The other was as violent as a tsunami, as though it wanted to shatter and devour everything.
Pressure!
An astonishing pressure suddenly poured down on Chen Zong and the other two. Bursts of astonishing rumbling sounds rang out, causing the light in the air to distort, as if illusions of mountains and seas were about to appear.
As the auras of the two apex Devil King Realm experts blended with each other, superimposing on each other, causing their power to multiply. The pressure they brought was even more tyrannical and astonishing.
Shu Muyuan didn't plan to make a move because he felt that he didn't need to. With his status, there was no need for him to personally make a move.
Facing the pressure of the two apex Devil King Realm experts' auras, Chen Zong and the other two's auras also erupted in an instant.
Sword intent filled the air, and martial intent was vast and mighty.
As soon as they erupted, the astonishing sword intent and martial intent immediately caused the other party's expression to change. They felt an intense threat, a threat that penetrated their bones and was unavoidable.
Strong!
Shu Muyuan himself was also a powerful Devil King Realm expert, and also a peak Devil King Realm expert. His superb bloodline gave him formidable talent and strength. Therefore, he instantly felt that the auras of Chen Zong and the other two's were very strong.
Perhaps, just relying on his two guards wasn't enough to suppress the other party. He had to make a move.
With this thought, wisps of dark aura immediately emerged from Shu Muyuan's body. The dark aura was like a tree taking root in the earth, crazily growing and spreading in all directions. It was as if a dark tree was spreading in all directions.
As soon as Shu Muyuan erupted, Chen Zong and the other two immediately felt an even stronger threat.
The Demon-Dweller Clan valued bloodline, and it could be said that their bloodline was straight up. Although ordinary bloodlines could be cultivated to the Devil King Realm or even the apex Devil King Realm, they could only be regarded as ordinary Devil King Realm experts. But those Demon-Dwellers with superb bloodlines were different. Their bloodline was superb, and the power of their bloodline was even stronger. Once they erupted, they would possess all kinds of mysterious powers, which was something that ordinary Demon-Dweller bloodlines couldn't compare with.
Rumor had it that the Shu Mu Clan's bloodline was related to the Eternal Tree of Darkness. They possessed part of the Eternal Tree of Darkness's power, which was why they could become the second strongest force in the Dark Sky Empire. It could be said that they were second only to the Lord of the Dark Sky Empire.
Shu Muyuan's two guards attacked Chen Zong and the other two from the left and right respectively. Shu Muyuan grasped the void, and the dark aura condensed. Like wisps of branches, it spread out and transformed into a pitch-black spear in his hand. The spear was filled with endless darkness, and directly locked onto Chen Zong and the other two.
The spear directly locked onto the three, giving Chen Zong and the other two a feeling that they couldn't dodge. It seemed that they would be targeted no matter what.
The dark spear, which seemed to be condensed from branches, instantly shot out like a bolt of black lightning, crossing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye and shooting towards Bai Yi. The mist around Bai Yi's body surged, forming a vortex that wrapped around the dark spear, continuously weakening its power.
Chen Zong and Jing Wuxue attacked the two middle-aged Demon-Dwellers separately. They unsheathed their swords and slashed out. The sword-light was like a crescent moon that tore through the sky.
A peak Demon King against a peak Demon King.
In this exchange, Chen Zong and Jing Wuxue were at a disadvantage. They could feel the might of their opponent's attack, which was incomparably tyrannical.
The one fighting against Chen Zong was the middle-aged Demon-Dweller with a tsunami-like aura. The might of his attack was like layers upon layers of surging waves, vast and endless. The astonishing might overlapped with each other, causing Chen Zong to fall into it. It was as if he had fallen into a huge vortex, constantly being engulfed. The terrifying power battered his body, and it seemed like he was going to be shredded into pieces.
Activate!
Equip!
The Ancient God Sword Armor covered his entire body as his strength instantly skyrocketed. His sword might soared, as though he wanted to split the heavens and earth apart. His body and sword became one as he slashed his way through the layers of terrifying tsunamis, aiming for that peak-stage devil king.
The sword was like a hot knife through butter, capable of splitting mountains and splitting rivers, sweeping everything before it.
On the other side, Jing Wuxue also erupted. A vague grey shadow condensed on his body, emitting a terrifying will. It was so lonely, so desolate, and contained a deep sense of despair. It was as if the moment one came into contact with it, they would involuntarily fall into the abyss of despair, sinking into it for eternity.
Dense fog surged around Bai Yi's body as he used his full strength to resist Shu Muyuan.
The strength of Shu Muyuan's bloodline after activating it was very strong. He was completely at the peak Demon King level, and it was the kind of peak Demon King level that could contend against Bai Yi without falling into a disadvantageous position. This made Chen Zong and the others witness the strength of a peak Demon King with a superb bloodline.
The Demon Race paid particular attention to bloodline. The more superb the bloodline, the higher the starting point at birth, and the faster the cultivation. Below the Demon Emperor level, there was no bottleneck. As long as one worked hard, they would be able to continuously raise their cultivation to the limit of Demon King.
As for Demon Emperor, it was necessary to condense a Demon Soul. It was no longer something that could be done simply by having a superb bloodline. It also required sufficient tempering. However, it was undeniable that those with superb bloodline had a higher probability of condensing a Demon Soul. This was also the reason why Demon Emperors were constantly being born in those big clans, while the probability of Demon Emperors being born in those small and medium-sized clans was very low.
The reason why Shu Muyuan was able to cultivate to the peak Demon King level at such a young age was because he possessed the bloodline of the Eternal Darkness Tree. It was also because of this bloodline that he was able to have two peak Demon King level experts accompanying him to handle all his affairs.
Now, Shu Muyuan had encountered three peak Demon King level experts, and their strength was not inferior to his two guards. This made him somewhat excited.
"I am the young master of the Shu Mu Clan of the Imperial Capital. My bloodline is the bloodline of the Eternal Darkness Tree. In the future, I will be able to wield the power of the Shu Mu Clan." Shu Muyuan no longer attacked, but after blocking Bai Yi's attack, he first announced his identity and so on. This method of using power to suppress others was very common in the Demon Race. "The three of you are very good. Your bloodline is not superb, but you have such strength. Presumably, you have gone through a lot of tempering. Now, I will give you a chance. Pledge your loyalty to me, and I will bestow upon you the honor of the Shu Mu Clan."
If Chen Zong and the other two were true members of the Demonic Tribe, they might be tempted by Shu Muyuan's words. After all, entering the Shu Mu Clan was a great opportunity. Unfortunately, they were not true Demonic Tribe members.
