The personal recruitment from the Shumu Clan did not move Chen Zong and the other two in the slightest. Their response was to counterattack.
In any case, strength was the most important thing.
"You're courting death." Shu Muyuan's eyes flashed fiercely.
He had personally recruited them, but the other party did not appreciate it and even dared to counterattack. They were simply arrogant and reckless. They were just three peak Demon Kings.
Although it was a good thing to recruit three peak Demon Kings to work for him, it did not matter if he could not recruit them. He would destroy them with his own hands.
In an instant, the enraged Shu Muyuan completely exploded. The dark aura around him became denser and denser. It spread out in all directions, as if it had really grown into a tree of darkness and had taken root on the ground. Its thousands of branches spread out and pierced into the void. It was as if it was connected to the void and was one with it.
In an instant, the entire secret room was covered by the shadow of the Eternal Tree of Darkness. Although it was not the real Eternal Tree of Darkness, it had a trace of its power. It was extraordinary.
According to the legends, the real Eternal Tree of Darkness was incomparably huge. It transformed into darkness and covered the world. The Shumu Clan's Eternal Tree of Darkness bloodline was not that strong. It only had some of the mysteries and power of the real Eternal Tree of Darkness.
However, even if it only had some of the power of the Eternal Tree of Darkness, it was still very terrifying.
As the dark branches spread out, they filled the entire secret chamber. Chen Zong and the other two immediately felt an astonishing pressure pressing down on them from all directions. The heavy pressure was indescribable. Black branches lashed out one after another, each containing an extremely terrifying power that could shatter mountains.
Shu Muyuan activated his bloodline power with all his might, summoning the Eternal Darkness Tree's phantom to attack and restrain Chen Zong and the other two. Meanwhile, the two peak Devil Kings returned to Shu Muyuan's side, protecting him.
For a time, Chen Zong and the other two could not get close to Shu Muyuan. They could only constantly deal with the attacks of the Eternal Tree of Darkness.
Chen Zong and the other two were secretly shocked by this bloodline.
Before entering, Chen Zong and the other two naturally had some understanding of the Demon-Human Clan's bloodline. They knew that the Demon-Human Clan's bloodline was divided into four levels. The lowest level was the Normal level, followed by the Elite level, followed by the Peak level, and finally the Limite- level.
Most of the people who entered the Fragment World obtained normal Demonkin Bloodlines. A few of them obtained elite Bloodlines, and very few of them obtained top Bloodlines. As for Limiteer Bloodlines, there was not a single one.
For example, the Bloodline that Martial God Lord had obtained was an elite Bloodline, which was why his strength had increased to such a level. Otherwise, Martial God Lord's strength would have been very ordinary in the Ancient Divine Dynasty. He had only been lucky enough to obtain an elite Bloodline.
Luck was very important in many cases.
The Eternal Tree of Darkness was a powerful bloodline, but it was also divided into high and low levels. The lowest level was the elite level, and Shu Muyuan's Eternal Tree of Darkness bloodline was the supreme level. It was because of this bloodline that the Shu Mu Clan could become one of the most powerful aristocrats in the Dark Sky Empire, second only to the Lord of the Dark Sky.
Shu Muyuan, whose bloodline power was pushed to the extreme, was extremely terrifying. For a time, he could reach the level of a true Demon Emperor. Chen Zong and the other two were in a difficult battle.
But at the same time, Shu Muyuan, who was fully pushing the Eternal Tree of Darkness bloodline power, could not be approached. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Kacha. Kacha. The wall cracked again.
Open. The stairs spread, alarming Shu Muyuan, Chen Zong and the others who were fighting fiercely.
Shu Muyuan immediately increased the intensity of his attacks. Countless branches of darkness carried an extremely terrifying power as they smashed over with overwhelming force. The might of every single branch remained the same, but the attacks became denser and more frequent, causing the pressure on Chen Zong and the others to become even more intense.
Shu Muyuan completely erupted. He planned to get rid of Chen Zong and the other two before the other Demon Kings arrived and take control of the situation.
However, Chen Zong and the other two also completely erupted. They tenaciously held on, looking for an opportunity to get close to Shu Muyuan. But they were blocked and repelled again.
A stalemate!
Footsteps were heard. Someone walked down the stairs.
It was a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back. This middle-aged man had an ordinary face, but his eyes were extremely deep, like an abyss. His sideburns were white, and his whole body was filled with obscure fluctuations. It was like the undercurrents in the depths of the sea abyss, giving people a very dangerous feeling.
The middle-aged man's deep eyes were as calm as the sea without any waves. When he looked over, his eyes fell on Shu Muyuan, and a bright light seemed to flash in the depths of his eyes.
"The supreme class bloodline of the Eternal Tree of Darkness." The middle-aged man seemed to be talking to himself. But when his soft voice sounded, it was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears. It shook everyone's heads, and they were extremely shocked.
Shu Muyuan's face was full of vigilance. He immediately gathered the thousands of branches of the Eternal Tree of Darkness, like ten thousand snakes entrenched in the surroundings, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Little guy, don't be nervous." The middle-aged man smiled. "I'm acquainted with your Shumu Clan's Zhi Zhi."
Shu Muyuan's body shook, and he immediately bowed to the middle-aged demon. "Shu Muyuan greets Lord Demon Emperor."
Demon Emperor!
Shumu Clan's Shu Mu Zhi was a Demon Emperor. Someone who dared to say he was acquainted with a Demon Emperor and was unfathomable was most likely also a Demon Emperor.
A Demon Emperor!
That was a living Devil Emperor. Although Shu Muyuan could unleash an extremely tyrannical power for a short period of time after fully activating his superb bloodline, the bloodline of those who could cultivate Devil Emperors was also extraordinary. Even if his bloodline was ordinary before, once he became a Devil Emperor, his bloodline would immediately improve, at least to the peak level.
Shu Muyuan was not a match for a Demon Emperor with a top level bloodline at full power.
Chen Zong and the other two's expressions changed, and their pupils shrank to the size of needles.
Demon Emperor!
Although they had risked their lives to defeat Demon Emperor Zhui Ming, that battle was extremely difficult. Now, there was actually another Demon Emperor, and a living one at that.
With a Demon Emperor here, wouldn't it be difficult to compete?
At this time, footsteps sounded, and more people stepped into the room. It was a group of Demon Kings, and there were more than a dozen of them.
When these Demon Kings stepped into the room, a strange change occurred. The small blood sword that Chen Zong put away appeared out of thin air, and a greenish-grey palm print appeared on one of the Demon Kings. As if resonating with the small blood sword, the palm print automatically flew out and landed on the two imprints on the wall.
When the small blood sword and greenish-grey palm print landed on the imprints, the surroundings suddenly shook, and a series of cracking sounds rang out. Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, and those cracks were uniform, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade. Even the dome above and the ground below cracked.
Cracking and moving. In just a few breaths of time, the secret room was torn apart, making people feel as if they were in a chaotic moving maze. Chen Zong and the others were immediately separated.
When everything stopped, there was no one around Chen Zong, and he was the only one left. Bai Yi and Jing Wuxue were separated somewhere else.
"All the inheritance and treasures of this Emperor, Blood Sword, and Zhui Ming are here. Let's see who has the ability to take them." A voice suddenly sounded, as if it came from all directions, and also as if it came from the depths of the void. It was vast and mighty like the flowing waters of the sea, and carried an indescribable domineering aura, as if it could command the world.
Hearing that voice, Chen Zong couldn't help but feel as if he was looking at an extremely imposing figure standing between the heavens and the earth. Behind him was a stretch of darkness, an endless and boundless darkness that enveloped everything and swallowed the heavens and the earth.
Under that imposing figure, Chen Zong felt as if he had become very small, like a speck of dust.
Without any reason, Chen Zong suddenly understood that the imposing figure was Demon Emperor Xing Gu, and also the owner of that overbearing voice.
Hearing Demon Emperor Xing Gu's voice and words, the experts in this level of the mausoleum were all startled, and then became excited. Even the Demon Emperor was the same, because although he was a Demon Emperor, he was only a relatively ordinary Demon Emperor. Compared to Demon Emperor Xing Gu, who was known as the strongest Demon Emperor, he was nothing.
Therefore, how important was Demon Emperor Xing Gu's inheritance and treasures? If he could get it, wouldn't he be able to reach a higher level? It should be known that after breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm, it would be very difficult for him to increase his strength without any special opportunities. Basically, the strength he had after breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm was the same as before.
In other words, the stronger he was before breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm, the stronger he would be after breaking through to the Demon Emperor realm.
However, there were always exceptions. There would always be some treasures or inheritances that could allow a Demon Emperor to break through his own limits and increase his strength.
Desire!
The Demon Emperor immediately felt an endless desire. If he could get Demon Emperor Xing Gu's inheritance and treasures, wouldn't he be able to recreate the strongest Demon Emperor Xing Gu from ten thousand years ago?
The devil kings were also excited. If they could obtain the inheritance and treasures of Devil Emperor Xing Gu, it meant that they had a higher chance of condensing a devil soul and becoming a Devil Emperor. They might even become the strongest Devil Emperor and be invincible in the empire.
In the current Great Black Sky Empire, the inheritance of a Demon God was still being passed down, but the Demon Gods had disappeared for many years, and the Demon Emperors were the strongest existences.
The inheritance of a Demon Emperor, especially the strongest one, was something that everyone wanted. Moreover, even if they couldn't get Demon Emperor Xing Gu's inheritance, it would be good to get Blood Sword Demon Emperor and Life Chasing Demon Emperor's inheritance. After all, these two Demon Emperors were not to be underestimated.
Demon Emperor Xing Gu's tyrannical voice fell silent, and everyone started to move.
This place was like a maze that separated everyone, and the fifth floor of the mausoleum was also divided into countless parts. Where were the inheritances and treasures of the three Demon Emperors?
Chen Zong looked around. The lighting was a little dim, and to a certain extent, it affected his vision. There seemed to be a trace of pressure in the air, and it unknowingly affected his state of mind. It made him feel an indescribable sense of restraint, as if he wanted to break free but couldn't.
