Chapter 975

It was the former residence of the Demon King.

When one first heard of such a place, one would think that it was a very luxurious place, right?

So far, Shien had heard of several places where the Demon King had lived, such as the castle that had been located in the deepest part of the Demons' base camp during the war, or the Demon King Hall that Lésia had stolen from the kingdom. Those were all places where the Demon King had once lived.

Just by listening, one could tell how luxurious and huge these places were. They could be said to be a veritable mansion that matched the name of the "Demon King".

However, this ruin had shattered Shien's previous impression of these mansions.

"This is where the Demon King lived?"

Shien looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but fall into deep shock.

What appeared in front of him was not a luxurious and huge residence, but a very simple place. It was so simple that it could not help but remind one of the caves where the uncivilized savages lived in ancient times.

After Shien and La Xia entered the entrance of the ruin, they went all the way down, walked down a long staircase, and went about hundreds of meters underground. Then, they saw such a place.

There were stone walls all around, and there were a few stone pillars, but they did not separate the space here. Instead, they seemed to be supporting the ceiling to prevent it from falling. The entire ruin presented a vast space.

There were all kinds of layouts in the space. For example, there were stone tables and stone chairs in the corners, and there was a stone bed near the wall. Other than that, there was almost nothing here. It was extremely simple.

Although it allowed people to see traces of life in this place, there was no doubt that no one would believe that there was a Demon King who could destroy the world with a wave of his hand in such a place.

At least, Shien stood at the entrance and was speechless for a long time. He could not believe that the Demon King had once lived here.

"…"

La Xia was also silent. Her eyes were fixed on the interior of the ruin, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

In the ruins, the Demonic Roaring Chain was like a swimming dragon, constantly roaming around. It seemed to be very happy, as if it had returned to its home. It danced cheerfully.

Shien did not pay attention to the chain that often went off track. He stepped into the space of the ruin and looked around.

So did La Xia. She walked back and forth in the ruin, patrolling the space.

Neither of them spoke, and they just observed the ruin through the darkness.

However, the two of them did not discover anything. It was as if they had mistakenly entered the tomb of an ancient person. They did not even see anything decent.

Shien found that in a corner of the ruin, there was a stone wall that seemed to have been knocked down, and it was in a somewhat damaged state.

After looking at the stone wall, Shien was basically certain.

"Those stone slabs were knocked down from above, right?"

The material of the stone wall was the same as the stone slabs that had been brought to the Elven Homeland to record the Demon King's deeds.

Shien was certain that the Demon King had taken the stone slabs from this stone wall and used them as practice boards for writing, or as notepads for recording. He had then piled them up in this corner.

The elven royalty who had entered this place had found the stone slabs in this way. Caroline and the others had also taken the stone slabs from here, leaving behind only this empty ruin.

"Could it be that there's nothing here apart from the stone slabs?"

Shien scratched his head.

At this moment, La Xia's voice rang out behind Shien.

"There's something here."

Hearing this abnormally calm voice, Shien turned his head and looked toward the source of the sound.

The next second, Shien saw La Xia standing beside the stone bed in the corner. Her gaze was fixed on the stone bed as if she was looking at something.

"There's something here?"

Sean came to Si Xia's side and looked at the stone bed as far as his eyes could see. He asked doubtfully.

This was because he didn't see anything. All he saw was an ordinary stone bed.

However, Hua Xia seemed to be very sure of it. She gently stroked the stone bed with her slender hand, ignoring the dust on her fingertips.

She said calmly, "I can feel something here, but it's just not showing."

La Xia's words made Shien narrow his eyes.

Shien magnified the sensing power of [External Destiny], allowing his powerful perception to spread out and envelop the stone bed.

However, Shien still could not sense anything. He could only sense an ordinary stone bed.

"There's nothing?"

Shien was in a dilemma.

He did not think that La Xia's senses were wrong.

This elder sister had an unusually deep relationship with the Demon King. Even the body she was using now was the body of the Demon King. It was very normal for her to feel something that others could not.

To put it bluntly, if the Demon King really lived here, then the body that once lived here was now here, on La Xia's body.

Since that was the case, it was normal for Xia Tian to have some feelings.

It was just that he really did not feel anything.

Ji Xia also spoke in a low voice.

"If Eldest Miss is here, she should have a way."

Hearing this, Shien was slightly stunned. He immediately understood what La Xia meant.

"Do you mean that we need the magic power of the Demon King to make the things on it appear?"

Shien asked La Xia.

"It should be."

La Xia responded faintly. She did not make a definite answer, but it was enough.

Shien also felt the same. If he wanted to make the things on the stone bed appear, he was afraid that he would have to use the magic power of the Demon King.

And Lésia was a magical life created by the people of the old Demons to collect the remaining magic power of the Demon King after his death.

In other words, Lésia's magic power was at least of the same nature as the Demon King.

But the problem was that Lésia was not here.

"This is troublesome."

Shien sighed.

However, La Xia turned to Shien.

"If it's a precious jade, it should be easy to open the things on it."

La Xia's reminder made Shien react.

Yes, he still had the Demon King's precious jade in his body.

That was the origin of the Demon King, where his essence was, the condensation of his concept. The power on it was undoubtedly the power of the Demon King.

Thinking of this, Shien sank his consciousness and looked inside his body. He found the red precious jade that surrounded the holy sword.

The precious jade was still bathed in the red light, but the light seemed to be much brighter and stronger than before, giving Shien a feeling that it was about to be awakened.

The holy wave emitted by the holy sword became stronger and stronger. The holy power also integrated into his internal organs and every part of his body. It made Shien feel like he was about to be reborn.

The transformation of transcendence was proceeding smoothly.

The power hidden in his body was also awakening smoothly.

Everything was progressing in an orderly manner, and he was gradually moving towards evolution, achieving his own transcendence.

Soon.

Soon.

Shien had such a feeling.

Unfortunately, now was not the time to pay attention to this.

Shien focused his consciousness on the red precious jade and was troubled for a while.

"How should I make it come out? Or lend me some magical power?"

For a moment, Shien did not know what to do.

However, a situation that surprised Shien happened in the next second.

"Buzz!"

He saw that the red precious jade seemed to sense Shien's existence, Shien's will, and Shien's wish. It trembled slightly.

Immediately after, it released a magical power, which spread throughout Shien's body and burst out.

"Bang!"

In the ruins, in front of the stone bed in the corner, Shien, who had closed his eyes at some point, suddenly burned with a magical power.

La Xia was shocked by the sudden appearance of the magical power, but her eyes were filled with the most intense ripples so far.

At this moment, the magical power that was burning from Shien's body was not his own magical power.

It was a magical power that was darker than the darkness, deeper than the abyss, more dazzling than the night sky, and more magnificent than the universe.

The Mana clearly wasn't very powerful, but it gave off a feeling of looking down on the world. It was as if the entire world should submit to this power, causing the atmosphere to tremble.

In the ruins, the mysterious magical wave that had been floating around began to react as if it had seen its mother.

The Magical Roaring Chain that had been wandering in the ruins also suddenly stopped and scurried over joyfully. It directly entered Shien's body and returned to his body.

"This is …"

Shien opened his eyes and looked at his hands with a face full of surprise.

He could feel a burst of magical power bursting out of his body, but he did not feel anything strange at all. It was as if the magical power that was burning in his body was just a mirage, just an illusion, just something fake, and he did not feel anything at all.

Usually, when Shien used his own magical power, he could clearly feel the amazing power bursting out of his body, and there was a very clear heat flow in his body.

But at this moment, although the magical power was bursting out of his body, Shien did not feel anything at all, which made him feel strange.

"Master."

La Xia spoke at this moment.

"Please inject your magical power into the stone bed."

Hearing La Xia's voice, Shien only remembered the matter at hand.

At that moment, Shien could not continue to feel emotional, and directly pressed his hand on the stone bed.

"Buzz!"

The magical power in Shien's body immediately flowed towards the stone bed.

That was not something that Shien was controlling, but something that he had initiated on his own.

The magical power flowed through Shien's body and into the stone bed, as if it was very clear about its mission.

After the magical power had been completely injected into the stone bed, the magical power bursting out of Shien's body had also completely disappeared.

Before Shien could sigh with emotion, a strange situation finally appeared on the stone bed.

"Clang!"

A burst of dim light suddenly appeared on the surface of the bed and spread out, occupying the entire surface of the stone bed.

In the dim light, the thing hidden inside the stone bed finally slowly emerged.

Shien and La Xia immediately cast their gazes on it and saw what had emerged.

It was writing.

It was the same writing from another world as the stone slabs that Caroline and the others had brought back to the elven homeland.

The writing was somewhat sloppy and rough, allowing one to clearly feel the character of the writer. He was definitely the kind of person who was careless, rash, and very uneasy.

Seeing this writing, both Shien and La Xia immediately had a thought.

"This was not written by the Demon King."

Yes.

This was not written by the Demon King.

At least, this was not the Demon King's handwriting.

The Demon King's handwriting was indeed a little sloppy and crooked at the beginning, but his learning ability seemed to be unquestionable. Soon, his handwriting was refined to a level that could be called beautiful, allowing one to clearly feel the beauty within.

This handwriting, however, was different. It was sloppy and rough, definitely not the handwriting of the Demon King himself.

This was the truth.

When the dim light dissipated and the handwriting was completely revealed, Shien immediately saw the first sentence that appeared.

"'My name is Nyon, and I seem to be a hero.'"

As soon as this sentence was printed in Shien's eyes, Shien's eyes instantly widened.

His eyes were filled with astonishment.
