The Phecda Temple was heavily guarded. There were close to a hundred thousand Mara demons stationed at the foot of the mountain and there were five checkpoints in total. However, with Zi Yan's protection, Xi Yan managed to sneak past all of them.
"These five checkpoints are known as the Five Layers of Heaven."
Zi Yan walked forward slowly and said calmly, "After the Five Layers of Heaven are a thousand steps that lead straight to the Phecda Temple. It is known as the Thousand Chasms in the Demon Realm. No matter what you see on the Thousand Chasms, do not speak or pay attention to it. Otherwise, you might be seen through. Lady Xi Yan, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Zi Yan walked up the steps while Xi Yan followed closely behind.
The steps were long and wide. The light was dim and even the stone steps on both sides were shrouded in darkness. However, Xi Yan could sense an extremely ferocious aura.
"Roar roar …"
Low roars came from the darkness. Xi Yan only took a glance and saw a pair of eyes that shone like lanterns. They were giant beasts, giant beasts from the Demon Realm!
Zi Yan said in a low voice, "Don't look at them! Those are Bone Devouring Beasts, the pets of His Majesty Demon Emperor Mara … Once the Bone Devouring Beasts discover your inner betrayal, they will see through you and you will be hunted down by Mara's army. "
Xi Yan nodded. She seemed to have sensed the intentions of those beasts during that hurried glance. Those pairs of eyes were like traps that lured people to tell the truth.
However, who was Xi Yan? She was the strongest seraph in the Western Divine Realm. Her footsteps were steady and she clenched her fists tightly as she followed Zi Yan toward the Phecda Temple.
Not far ahead, the stone steps suddenly broke, and a purple demonic flame soared into the sky from below.
Zi Yan said in a low voice, "We have arrived at the cliff. There are about a hundred steps in the middle. The impact of the Devil Flame replaces the stone steps. In fact, stepping down is the same, but you will have to bear the baptism of the Devil Flame. However, for the people of the Devil World, it is like a happy bath. Madam Xi Yan, you have to endure the burning of the Devil Flame, can you?"
"Don't talk. Just keep walking. I can do it."
"Yes!"
As they continued forward, when Xi Yan stepped onto the demonic flames, she immediately felt as if she had stepped into a sea of fire. However, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She could only endure it so that she would not give herself away. Otherwise, she would be easily seen through. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at them in the darkness!
On the other hand, when Zi Yan and the group of Mara walked past the cliff, they looked as if they were the owners of a bathing center.
When Xi Yan walked past the hundred stone steps, she could not help but take a deep breath. She could not use her divine power to resist the Devil Flame because the fluctuation of her aura would attract the attention of others. She could only rely on her flesh and blood to resist the Devil Flame. Her feet were burning, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Zi Yan continued walking and said in a low voice, "Next is the inspection of the Devil Guards. Once we pass this test, we can enter the Phecda Temple."
"Inspection by the Devil Guards?"
"Yes, these Devil Guards are all at the Devil General level. They are the minions of the Eternal Demon Emperor. Madam Xi Yan, please use the Mask of Nothingness that I gave you. Only the Mask of Nothingness can deceive the eyes of these Devil Guards."
"Okay."
Unknowingly, a layer of indistinct cyclone appeared on Xi Yan's face and transformed into another face. It was Mara's face, hideous and terrifying.
"Raise your head!"
A few Fiend Guards stepped forward and berated loudly.
Zi Yan raised his head and said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
"Oh, so it's Demon General Zi Yan. Are you here to debrief?"
"Yes, I've brought along some new soldiers."
"Heh, so many … It seems like you've plundered quite a lot in the lower domain!"
"Yes, yes!"
At this moment, a Devil Guard suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Xi Yan's path. "You, raise your head!"
Xi Yan raised her head, her heart filled with apprehension. It would be troublesome if she was recognized. However, the other party did not seem to see through the Mask of Nothingness's disguise. He smiled faintly and said, "This Mara looks malnourished. He needs to absorb more Devil Flame in order to be of service to the Demon World!"
"That's right, that's right. He'll definitely have something to eat in the Phecda Temple." Zi Yan said, "Then can we go over?"
"Go ahead and hand Mara over to the examiner. You can stay in the Phecda Temple for the night and debrief tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
…
After entering the main hall, Xi Yan was somewhat astonished. Only after entering did she realize how enormous the Phecda Temple was. It was even more majestic than the main hall in the Western Divine Realm back then. A group of hundreds of people walked into the main hall and they seemed extremely small. Deep in the main hall, there was the sound of gears turning and the passageways in front of them were changing like Rubik's cubes.
There was no ground in front of them, only an empty void.
Zi Yan said loudly, "I'm Demon General Zi Yan of the Zi Yan Crevice. I've led the troops to deliver this to His Majesty, Demon Emperor. Please let us through!"
In the air, an elderly voice sounded, "Wait a moment."
Not long after, the sound of gears became louder and louder. In the distance, two black undulating passageways could be seen. The elderly voice said, "Troops, take the left passageway. Debriefers, take the right passageway."
"Yes!"
Under Zi Yan's signal, Mara walked onto the left passageway and crawled on it, looking extremely afraid. Zi Yan shot a glance at Xi Yan and said, "Let's go, we'll take the right passageway."
When the two of them stepped onto the passageway, the black boulder gradually rose and sent them to the Phecda Temple's residence. In the distance, a cubicle space appeared around the main hall. That was the residence. Debriefers were not qualified to have an audience with the Demon Emperor and had to leave after staying for a night.
However, Xi Yan's gaze was fixed in the distance. On the right side of the Phecda Temple, there was a towering mountain peak with a dazzling pearl on it. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was not a pearl but a divine weapon. It was a vast ancient pagoda that was layered and changed endlessly. It was suffused with a faint demonic luster. It was the God Destroying Pagoda.
In front of the God Destroying Pagoda, a person sat there in dazzling armor. It was the ancient Demon Emperor. He was actually personally guarding the God Destroying Pagoda.
"Where's Eva …" Xi Yan said softly.
"Don't be anxious, let's observe first."
Not long after, the two of them were sent to a cubicle outside the Phecda Temple. It was a room with a large bed, some food and fruits. The treatment of a demon general was not bad.
After entering the room, they could still see the light of the God Destroying Pagoda on the Phecda Peak in the distance. However, it was separated from the outside world by a layer of crystal glass.
Zi Yan said softly, "My Lord, don't be anxious, let's wait quietly. I heard that the ancient Demon Emperor enters the earth's core to absorb the purest demonic qi every night. At that time, only the Holy King will be guarding the God Destroying Pagoda. According to the days, the one guarding the God Destroying Pagoda should be the Qilin Holy King. When that time comes … My Lord Xi Yan, you can stall the Qilin Holy King while I steal the broken sword at the side of the God Destroying Pagoda and leave the Phecda Temple with Lady Eva's primordial spirit. You can look for me after you get rid of the Qilin Holy King."
"Can you do it alone?" Xi Yan was rather doubtful.
"I can, please believe in me."
"Okay …"
…
Time trickled by. After midnight, the ancient Demon Emperor's figure suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a demon expert in red Qilin armor. It was the legendary Qilin Holy King. His strength was not bad, although he was far from the ancient Demon Emperor's.
"It's time for us to take action."
Xi Yan's palm glowed with a faint radiance. She wiped it lightly on the transparent wall and a hole was immediately burned on the crystal. Cold wind blew in. She glanced at Zi Yan and said, "If you can save Eva, I will definitely repay you generously."
Zi Yan cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, what are you saying? I just don't want to continue doing evil."
"Okay, let's go!"
A stream of light shot out from the densely packed square room and turned into a dazzling radiance. The moment the Chiyue Sword was unsheathed, half of the Phecda Temple flickered.
"Who's there!?"
The Qilin Holy King roared angrily. A long blade appeared in his hand and he slashed at Xi Yan.
However, Xi Yan's speed was faster. She spread her six wings and swept her sword horizontally, creating waves of sword qi. It was the first strike of Xi Yan's Seven Strikes, Split!
"Peng!"
Saint King Qilin was obviously no match for him. He was forced to retreat. His ferocious nature burst forth as he roared, "I'm going to kill you!"
The Chiyue Sword danced and light shone again.
The fifth strike, Release!
"Boom!"
Under the baptism of the law of light, the Qilin Holy King wailed endlessly and his body seemed to be peeled off inch by inch.
Behind him, on the Phecda Peak, Zi Yan floated down and held the God Destroying Pagoda in his hands. His eyes suddenly turned sinister and the vigorous power surged into his body. He laughed loudly and said, "God Destroying Pagoda, you are mine now … Hahahaha, you are mine now. From today onwards, the Demon Realm will be ruled by me, Zi Yan!"
Xi Yan was shocked, "Zi Yan, you!"
"Hahaha, My Lord Xi Yan, you are so silly. How can a demon be a good person, hahaha …"
"Bastard!"
Xi Yan rose and slashed with her sword.
However, Zi Yan had already raised the God Destroying Pagoda and demon flames surged from the bottom of the pagoda. He laughed loudly and said, "Come, come, be the first sacrifice of the God Destroying Pagoda!"
"Buzz!"
The entire heaven and earth began to distort and the Demon Realm suddenly darkened. A beam of light shot out from the bottom of the God Destroying Pagoda and blasted straight at Xi Yan.
"Peng!"
With a loud sound, Xi Yan's body turned into a shooting star and disappeared from the Phecda Peak. She fell into the dark mountains in the distance and left a trail of light in the sky.
Zi Yan laughed crazily and when he looked down, he was suddenly stunned, "En? Where is Eva's primordial spirit? Damn it, this woman is so fast! "
… …
Six Realms, East Heaven.
The Hall of Great Accomplishment was filled with the sounds of killing. Countless Winged Mara descended from the sky and shot arrows into the bodies of the Crippled Gods outside the hall. The sounds of killing and screams were continuous. The Heaven Realm had already become a purgatory.
At this moment, in Ba Huang Domain, the Winged Mara were still playing around with the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor.
"Did you hear that, Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor? A loud sound came from the Demon Realm. It's the light of the God Destroying Pagoda … Hahahaha, His Majesty the Eternal Demon Emperor has already started to use the God Destroying Pagoda to kill gods. Who are those dead gods? Is it your Ziyao or the Mortal Realm's Tang Xiaoxi?! Hehehe, I seem to have heard screams and begging for mercy. It's so tragic … "
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor's eyes were tightly shut. He could see the tragic scene not far away. The Hall of Great Accomplishment was surrounded and countless of his subordinates were fighting a bloody battle.
The corners of the Seven Brilliance Demon Monarch's eyes suddenly emitted wisps of golden flames. His lips curled upward as he said with a smile, "You've gone through a lot of trouble to seal my twelve meridians with vines, demanding my god force for your use, but … do you idiots know that I've already cultivated the thirteenth meridian eight years ago? Do you guys really think you can trap me? "
"What!?" The Winged Mara turned pale with fright.
At the same time, the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor roared angrily. The wisteria that filled the sky collapsed and burned. He had broken free! In the instant that he broke free, the golden light on his arm shone brightly, shattering the bodies of hundreds of Demonic Luos. He raised his head to look at the sky and bellowed furiously, "Heavenly Melody Scroll, get the hell out here! What kind of Mahayana Heavenly Dao are you? Put away your high and mighty attitude. You are just a broken book. How can a broken book like you control the life and death of the living beings in the Six Realms? With or without you, I am still a god! "
"Buzz buzz …"
In the sky, the golden scroll actually appeared. Lines of words illuminated the sky. Soon, the words "Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor" appeared. Then, a huge celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky and gathered into the image of Nuwa. She said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice, "Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, you are upright and fearless. You have obtained the approval of the Heavenly Voice Scroll. Today, I will bestow upon you a first-class Superior God Dharma Body and the title 'Mad God'. You will control the Heavenly Dao of the Six Realms. I will also bestow upon you the ability – Unyielding Bones. I hope that you will uphold kindness and protect the Mahayana Heavenly Dao for all living beings in the world!"
…
"Whoosh!"
A Mad God celestial phenomenon descended from the sky and focused on the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor.
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor pointed at Nuwa and said in a low voice, "Don't act all high and mighty. I won't submit to you. This is my ability, why do I need you to bestow it to me? I have tolerated the Demon Realm for almost half a year before your bullsh * t Mahayana Heavenly Dao appeared. Where were you when the world was in danger? Who do you think you are, high and mighty Heavenly Dao? "
Nuwa's avatar looked a little angry and said, "You are now a True God of the Mahayana Heavenly Dao. Try not to swear …"
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor said coldly, "I don't have time to bicker with you. I'm going to the Hall of Great Accomplishment to tell your Heavenly Voice Scroll to choose more True Gods as soon as possible. This world cannot tolerate any more chaos."
Nuwa was speechless. She watched as the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor disappeared before her eyes, but there was nothing she could do.
The Mad God naturally had to be wild and unrestrained. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called the Mad God.
