Ye Futian and the others stared at the demonic shadow, not daring to breathe.
A Demon Emperor!
This demonic shadow must be a Demon Emperor.
However, it had no head. It had been chopped off.
Even without a head, it still seemed to have its own will. It had killed Garuda with a single slash. It was as if even after countless years, it still recognized who its mortal enemy was.
A terrifying pressure enveloped the space. There was dead silence. This demonic shadow could easily destroy all of them with just one hand.
At that moment, the demonic shadow moved. It turned around slowly and faced them. Even without a head, they still felt like they were being stared at. For a moment, everyone felt suffocated. It was as if they had stopped breathing. They did not dare to move at all.
Wisps of terrifying demonic might circled around them and seemed to pass through their bodies. Ye Futian's heart beat wildly. He could not be so unlucky.
At that moment, the demonic shadow turned around and walked away. Ye Futian and the others still did not move. Only when the demonic shadow was far away did they let out a long sigh of relief and relax.
"An emperor's corpse. A moving emperor's corpse," Celestial Lord Chen said in a low voice. If the demonic shadow had attacked them just now, none of them would have survived.
"We need to be more careful. This core area of the Garuda tribe is probably even more dangerous," Ye Futian reminded them. Everyone nodded. They could still fight against cultivators from the outside world, but if they were to face an ancient demon god, they would not even know how they died.
He thought of the giant hand that had appeared in the abyss. Was it also a fallen Great Emperor down there?
Ye Futian raised his head and looked at the ruined city. He was in awe.
"He avoided us, but he killed Garuda directly," Chen Yi said. "Was this a conscious action, or was it instinctive?"
Everyone was also thinking about this question. Did the Great Emperor have his own independent consciousness, or did he kill his mortal enemy Garuda out of instinct?
"Even if he had consciousness, it would be vague and chaotic. He might be like the demonic beasts we encountered in this world. He probably forgot who he was and only remembered his mortal enemy Garuda," Ye Futian said. "Otherwise, if there was a clear consciousness, then with the means of the Great Emperor, he would probably be able to come back to life and not be a headless corpse."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Ye Futian's words. Great Emperors were eternal beings who lived as long as the heavens and the earth. Even if their heads were cut off, they could still be reborn. However, that Demon Emperor did not have a head. It was obvious that he was just a headless corpse.
"His instinct is to kill Garuda. Since he didn't touch us before, he probably won't." Celestial Venerable Chen analyzed. "Where is he now?"
Ye Futian looked at Celestial Lord Chen and understood what he meant. Did Celestial Lord Chen want to go and take a look?
"Everyone, follow me. Be careful." Then, he led the group forward. Compared to when they first arrived, they appeared to be more cautious. Clearly, what happened just now had a great impact on them. "That's right," Ye Futian said.
As they walked through the ancient and barren Royal City of the Jialou Clan, they met other cultivators along the way. They were all very powerful cultivators. Those who were able to make it here alive were either cultivators who had passed the tribulation or had come with their families or sects.
"The aura in front is even more terrifying," Ye Futian said softly. Everyone nodded. Everyone could feel it.
The ground in front was red as if it had been soaked in blood. A violent and terrifying aura appeared in this area. The headless demon from before had also returned to this area.
On the ground, there were many corpses and skeletons. There were the skeletons of cultivators and huge demonic beasts. There were even many skeletons of Garuda.
"The main battlefield."
Everyone thought to themselves when they saw this scene. There was a wild aura everywhere. This wild aura even invaded them, turning into beams of blood-red light that wanted to burrow into their wills.
"Be careful!"
Ye Futian said. "Those demonic creatures from before might have been eroded by the chaotic will here. Don't be affected."
He deliberately let strands of aura invade his will. Sure enough, the invading will was filled with a violent and bloodthirsty intent. It wanted to affect him and even occupy his mind. Those with weak cultivation and willpower would be corroded if they were not careful.
Moreover, this invading will was invisible and could not be avoided at all. They could only guard their minds.
The Light of Buddha shone, and the sound of Buddha lingered in the air, seeping into everyone's ears. The Light of Buddha shone on Hua Qingqing. It was incomparably sacred. She was like a Buddhist lamp, illuminating the area and protecting everyone. The invading will that entered the Light of Buddha's domain were eaten away bit by bit until they disappeared. They could not invade.
The arts of Buddha could restrain the power of demons and evil spirits. In this space, the arts of Buddha would be more effective.
"What is that place?" Ye Futian looked in one direction. In that direction, it had been completely eroded by demonic aura. The ground was blood-red, and there was a deathly silent area. In that area, there were many terrifying auras, as if the souls of the Devil World's cultivators were drifting there.
The entire domain was filled with an extremely frightening evil aura. Many cultivators who came here took a detour, not daring to get close.
"He's inside." Celestial Venerable Chen saw a figure inside. It was the headless Demon Emperor. He was inside, as if he belonged to this demonic domain. But just now, he had actually walked out.
"There are treasures inside," Ye Futian said, staring in that direction.
His perception was very strong. He could feel that there was an Emperor-level treasure inside. That domain might be a demonic domain formed by the fall of a Great Emperor.
"It's too dangerous," Celestial Venerable Chen said. "Forget it. I don't need this opportunity."
Ye Futian looked into the distance. He naturally didn't need this opportunity, but there was someone else who didn't.
This was the place where the demons and Garuda fought. Many of the top figures of the Devil World might have come, but they were not in the same area as them.
The demons should have many gains.
However, Big Brother's cultivation had reached a bottleneck.
Back then, his godfather had taught Big Brother the demonic blade and made him cultivate demonic techniques. He had cultivated for many years. Later, he found out that Big Brother had suffered a lot in order to cultivate this demonic technique. He had paid a heavy price.
However, Big Brother's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Even with the help of elixirs, he still couldn't break through.
Now, Third Brother Gu Dongliu had gone very far. Big Brother couldn't fall too far behind. He had to catch up.
Therefore, Ye Futian wanted to help Big Brother get an opportunity when he saw the territory of the Demon Emperor.
"This headless Demon Emperor probably has no ill intentions. Otherwise, we wouldn't have survived. I'll go in and take a look. You guys wait for me here," Ye Futian said to everyone. Everyone looked at him. This guy seemed to be going on an adventure alone again.
Hua Jieyu pulled him and said, "I'll go with you."
But Ye Futian shook his head. "Don't worry. If there's any danger, I'll use Divine Feet to leave immediately."
He weighed the pros and cons. To him, it should be relatively safe. There shouldn't be any danger. The only variable was the headless monarch corpse. However, even if the headless monarch corpse had bad intentions, he could still leave with his God's Feet. After all, it wasn't a real monarch, it was just a divine body.
"Yes." Hua Jieyu could only nod.
"I'll go first," Ye Futian said. Then, he moved forward and entered the domain. In an instant, terrifying demonic will surrounded him. It was as if he had completely entered the domain world of the demon god and was isolated from the outside world.
This was the Devil's Lair, the real world of demons.
In the surrounding area, many demonic shadows appeared, staring at him with bloodthirsty coldness. These demonic shadows didn't seem to be their real bodies, but formed from will.
Above Ye Futian's body, the Light of Buddha bloomed brilliantly. Suddenly, under the Light of Buddha, many demonic shadows retreated, as if they were extremely afraid of the power of Buddha.
