Among the countless beast bones, there were also some human bones. Seeing this, Lu Xiaotian felt a chill run from his spine to his head.
This strange tide of butterflies was actually piled up by these countless living creatures. He did not know how much effort this so-called Demon Lord had put in to cultivate this tide of butterflies that he had committed such a monstrous sin.
If Lu Xiaotian was already like this, Ban Qianren, who had just arrived here, would almost have had the impulse to run away if not for his clear understanding of the situation.
"Little friend Lu, please come into the city for a chat." The familiar voice spread out from the depths of the winding white bone steps, sounding gloomy and distant.
"Lu Daoyou, please!" The several zhang tall demon butterfly returned to its original position, turning a blind eye to Lu Xiaotian's party. The Phantom Scorpion King made an inviting gesture to Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian took a step forward, his figure floating on top of the white bone steps.
As soon as he touched the white bone steps, Lu Xiaotian felt a chaotic and enormous resentment rising from the white bone steps. A huge pressure made Lu Xiaotian feel as if he was carrying a thousand pounds. On the white bone steps, Lu Xiaotian found it almost impossible to fly on his sword like usual.
That enormous resentment seemed to be countless resentful spirits that had died tragically mocking Lu Xiaotian's ears, as if they wanted to pull out Lu Xiaotian's soul and merge it with these resentful spirits.
Even with Lu Xiaotian's mental state, he could not help but feel a little restless. No wonder when the white bone steps appeared, the Phantom Scorpion King retreated in fear.
Lu Xiaotian's Demon Subduing Pagoda flashed with Buddha light, suppressing this restlessness. He felt a lot better.
Climbing the white bone steps, his speed was neither fast nor slow. The white bone steps meandered back and forth. It took Lu Xiaotian several days and nights to reach the top of the mountain. He did not know whether this place was the Endless Demon Sea or another world. But looking up, under the pale gray mist. Everywhere he looked was a pile of corpses.
Gray smoke gathered in the void, forming a path of smoke and clouds. Lu Xiaotian followed the path of smoke and clouds. They passed through the Corpse Canyon. At the end of the cloud of smoke, the green grass was like a shade.
There were all kinds of demonic plants and demonic fruits. Some demonic beasts in revealing clothes, or demonic women collecting fruits, shuttled back and forth between the trees. Along the way, Lu Xiaotian saw many women, but not a single man.
Just what is this Demon Monarch up to? Lu Xiaotian could not help but frown when he saw the grotesque minor world before him.
"It's been so many years since we last met. Little Friend Lu, are you not going to take off your mask?" A familiar voice rang out, and the scantily clad women were frightened. They turned into demons and demons, and scattered like birds and beasts.
A graceful woman who looked to be in her thirties stood under a demonic peony tree. Her appearance could not be considered beautiful, but she had a strangely seductive aura. Her light brown eyes quietly looked at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian took off his ferocious-looking demonic mask. "Why did the Demon Monarch ask me to come here?"
"Little Friend Lu is really direct. You are neither hot nor cold, nor impatient. You have not changed from when I met you in Cloud City." The woman smiled. "Since Little Friend Lu is so straightforward, I will not beat around the bush. I need Little Friend Lu to go to the Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground for me to get something. "
"The Demon Monarch has countless experts under his command, and there is no lack of people stronger than me. Why did the Demon Monarch choose me?" Lu Xiaotian frowned. He was not used to being used as a tool. But in the current situation, he had no choice.
"I do have a few strong subordinates, but in terms of Dao Heart, they are not as strong as Little Friend Lu's, especially their resistance to Nether Demon Corpse Qi. I believe that no one in the same realm can compare to Little Friend Lu's Demon Sealing Pagoda and Sarira." The woman looked at Lu Xiaotian with a pair of penetrating eyes.
"Junior's strength is barely enough to fight against the Phantom Scorpion King. The Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground is deep in the Demon Territory, at the border between the Land of Ghouls and Demons. Vicious creatures are everywhere. As a human, I am afraid that I will fail the Demon Monarch's request. "
Lu Xiaotian had a bad premonition. Since the Demon Monarch had mentioned it, it was not up to him to decide whether to go or not. However, before going, he had to raise some conditions. Otherwise, with his current strength, Lu Xiaotian did not think that he had much chance of coming back alive.
"If you really use the Demon Sealing Pagoda, even if you don't use that array, your chances of winning against the Shadow Scorpion are close to 50%. In a battle of life and death, I am more optimistic about you than the Shadow Scorpion."
The woman was not so easy to fool. She directly pointed out Lu Xiaotian's hidden trump card.
"With your current realm, your magic power is already extremely pure. You only lack an opportunity to break through to the late-stage Combination Realm. I have a piece of Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal, but it's not enough to help you break through to the late-stage Combination Realm. I'll point you to a place. There will be a trade festival in the Demon Ruins' Void City in a few days. There will be many Combination Realm powerhouses from various clans participating. Most of them will have what you need. Due to some reasons, it's inconvenient for me to appear near the Void City. I can arrange for two people to go with you. At that time, they will go with you to the Nether Demon Corpse Burial Ground. As for what you need, you will know when the time comes. "
"Alright. Then I will listen to the Demon Monarch's instructions. "Lu Xiaotian nodded. The Demon Monarch's so-called arrangement of a few people to go with him might be to help him obtain the item for advancement. However, if he did not listen, it would naturally become a death sentence.
However, under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Even if Lu Xiaotian wanted to refuse, he did not have the ability to do so.
"Alright, I've already arranged for a few helpers to wait for you outside. Go and come back quickly." The woman stretched out her hand, and a red crystal with dragon patterns flew toward Lu Xiaotian.
All the items in the Demon Monarch's hands were actually Dark Dragon Patterned Crystals. In addition, he had obtained one from Chihiro Yeh's lotus clone. He was still a little short of a breakthrough, but it was enough to refine pills. The Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal was naturally precious. However, compared to other spiritual items, directly absorbing the Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal or refining it into pills would be helpful for a breakthrough. The difference was that directly absorbing the Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal was like cooking a big fish over a small fire. It would take a long time. Pills, on the other hand, would take effect in a spurt of energy.
Lu Xiaotian reached out to take the Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal. However, when he took it, a gray smoke followed the Dark Dragon Patterned Crystal and climbed onto Lu Xiaotian's body. Lu Xiaotian suppressed his instincts to resist and allowed it to climb onto him. Since the woman had given it to him, it was impossible for her not to be prepared.
"With this Bone Attaching Demonic Smoke, I can find you whenever I want to. Don't try to play any tricks. "The woman gently reminded Lu Xiaotian.
"The Demon Monarch's strength far surpasses mine. Even if I wanted to play any tricks, I don't have the strength to do so." Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly.
"In other words, you still have this idea?" the woman asked with interest.
"I wouldn't dare." Lu Xiaotian naturally would not admit it directly.
"That's good." The woman nodded. Her figure faded and silently disappeared before Lu Xiaotian's eyes.
"It's actually just a projection." Lu Xiaotian was stunned. Even if it was just a projection of a Mahayana Realm expert, he could not see through it at all. Compared to the Jade Pool, Old Monster Wu Shan and Divinity Venerate Ming Yu's projections were even more realistic.
