"Hahahaha!"
Seeing that the other party had actually suppressed his cultivation to Pseudo Immortal 2-dan, Su Yin excitedly puffed his chest out and charged forward.
"???" The Scholar was taken aback.
In a normal battle, shouldn't the other party feel a sense of despair and sorrow, thus rendering him unable to face the battle? Yet, the other party's face was filled with joy, as if he had just seen a naked beauty … What the heck?
More importantly, if the other party had charged forward with puffed chest, what was his move? What was his countermeasure?
Just as the Scholar was perplexed, the other party had already arrived before him. He didn't have much time to think about it, so he secretly held back a third of his strength and pushed the other party's palm down.
Kacha!
His palm strike struck the other party's chest. With the might of a Pseudo Immortal 2-dan ultimate technique, even a small mountain would be reduced to dust. Yet, the other party's face didn't change at all. Instead, it was filled with doubt. Following which, the Scholar suddenly felt excruciating pain.
The Scholar narrowed his eyes in shock as he realized that his arm had been severed on the spot!
"Immortal-tier artifact …"
The Scholar took a closer look at the young man's clothes, and his eyes narrowed in astonishment.
The other party's weaving skills were simply too profound. Even he couldn't see through the flaws in it, but in the end, it turned out to be an Immortal-tier artifact. In fact, it was far more profound than the Demonic Emperor Seal in his hands!
How could there be such a formidable treasure on the Dry Origin Continent?
"If I can obtain it, I'll surely be able to become a powerful figure when I return to the Celestial World …" The Scholar's eyes reddened in agitation.
If he had a standing in the Celestial World, he wouldn't have been exiled to the Dry Origin Continent, where his life and death were no longer under his control!
However, if he could obtain this artifact, things would be different. If he could use it, not even Golden Immortals would be able to kill him. If he could contribute it to the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to exchange it for unparalleled resources.
If he could obtain the Demonic Emperor Seal from killing a person, and it was an Immortal-tier robe at that … he would have struck it rich!
"Forget it, I won't accept any disciples. Treasures are more important!"
In an instant, killing intent welled up in the Scholar's heart.
It was a good thing to have a talented disciple, but if the other party were to make a name for himself, he would attract the covetous eyes of countless others. Furthermore, if he killed the other party's friend, who could guarantee that the other party wouldn't bear grudges against him in the future? Rather, it would be better for him to obtain the treasure first!
No matter how talented a person was, they wouldn't be able to live long. They would just be an ordinary dead person.
With such a thought in mind, Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi and swiftly healed his severed arm. Just as he was about to release his zhenqi to grab the young man and tame him for his own possession, a donkey hoof suddenly tore through the air and struck his head.
"This …"
In an instant, all the strength in his body was suppressed by a special force. His body stiffened. He wanted to move, but he found that he couldn't.
Bang!
Before he could even scream, he heard the sound of a watermelon shattering, and his brain juice flowed out.
"You, you …"
The scholar's lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but he found himself unable to utter a single word.
Plop!
The corpse fell to the ground and blood flowed out.
Even at the moment of his death, he still couldn't believe that this was true.
To think that the Tomb Keeper of the Celestial World, a True Immortal, would be kicked to death by a donkey so easily …
Gu Ling'er and the others were also speechless.
They knew that Dahei was a formidable figure, but seeing it with their own eyes still left them flabbergasted.
On the other hand, Su Yin's chest was heaving up and down furiously. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he bellowed, "Do you have nothing better to do? Why did you kick him to death? "
The heck … It wasn't easy for a fellow who could test his cultivation to appear, but he ended up killing him with a single hoof. Can you be any more shameless?
I just wanted to test his strength … Is it really that difficult?
Besides, even if you aren't a human, can't you at least be a little more courteous?
The other party suppressed his cultivation, and he hasn't recovered his full strength yet. Yet, you kicked him to death … You're making it seem like I'm trying to frame you!
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Gu Ling'er and the others, only to see looks of admiration in their eyes. If they could, they would kneel down and kowtow to him.
Su Yin clutched his forehead helplessly.
All he did was test the other party's strength. As soon as Donkey made a move, it would seem as though he had set up a trap for the other party to suppress his cultivation so that Dahei could catch him off guard and kill him … This was too shameless!
Hearing Zhang Xuan's reprimand, Dahei felt wronged as well. "I couldn't control myself when I saw that he wanted to kill you. I thought that he was a formidable foe, but who knew that he would be so weak …"
Due to its cowardice, it was extremely sensitive to killing intent. Previously, the Scholar had only intended to take its master in as his disciple, so it didn't intend to kill it. However, for some reason, the Scholar's killing intent began to seep into the surroundings. In order to save its master, it didn't think too much and stepped forward.
"Don't do it again!"
Knowing that there was no point in explaining, Su Yin couldn't continue berating the other party. Thus, he turned to look at the Scholar lying on the ground.
The Scholar's head was crushed on the spot, and his death was tragic. In less than a breath, he lost consciousness. Even his soul didn't manage to escape in time.
For such an expert to die so quickly, it was truly a miracle!
Putting everything else aside, even though Qiong Yuan was convulsing non-stop, he was still alive. He could still be saved.
"What's this?"
After looking around, Su Yin lightly grasped, and a large seal flew over and landed in his palm.
It was a square-shaped object that was roughly the size of a palm. It emanated an oppressive aura that made one's heart palpitate. There were unique words inscribed on it that twisted and turned, making it difficult to decipher.
"This is the [Ancient Demonic Immortal Language] of the Demon Tribe. It means that … those who are ordained by the heavens will live for eternity. This can't be … the Demon Emperor's Seal, right? "
Gu Ling 'er's lips quivered as she widened her eyes in disbelief.
She had never seen the Demon Emperor's Seal before, but having killed many demons, she could recognize their language. She had also seen the edict left behind by the Demon Emperor's Seal, and it was identical to the one before her.
Shouldn't this be with the Demon Emperor all this while?
How did it end up in this fellow's possession?
"Demon Emperor's Seal?" Su Yin frowned as he reached out to pinch it.
It was hard to tell what material the Demon Emperor's Seal was made of, but it didn't exude the chilling aura of the Demon Emperor's Seal. Instead, it felt warm and smooth. Touching it, one's state of mind could not help but calm down.
"It's said that it's forged from the bones of a True Dragon. Even among the many Immortal-tier artifacts on the Dry Origin Continent, it's one of the best. Why would it be in his hands?"
Gu Ling 'er's frown deepened.
She had never been to the Demon Emperor's Palace before, but she had seen the appearance and disposition of the Demon Emperor Qiong Luo with her own eyes.
In other words, this fellow wasn't the Demon Emperor, so why would he have the Demon Emperor's Seal?
"That fellow died too quickly. I don't know anything about his identity or background," Su Yin said with a look of pity.
Donkey was too unreliable!
Why did he have to beat him to death? At the very least, he could have interrogated him!
"No matter who it is, to be able to wield the Demon Emperor's Seal means that he has a high standing in the Demon Tribe! Also … "
Qian Qi looked at Su Yin with a grim expression. "If it's really the Demon Emperor's Seal, I advise Brother Su to seal it immediately. Even though it's an artifact of the Demon Tribe, it doesn't seem to carry the slightest bit of demonic aura, but it's an extremely malevolent artifact. Those who don't cultivate demonic arts could easily be bewitched by it and lose their sense of self … "
"I've heard of it as well!"
Gu Ling 'er suddenly recalled something and said, "If I recall correctly, this Demon Emperor's Seal was carved from the skull of a Sin Dragon. The Sin Dragon died unjustly, and its heart was filled with indignation, so it harnessed its unyielding will and resentment. Those who cultivate demonic arts can use it to temper themselves and advance further. However, it's different for human experts. Once they come into contact with the Sin Dragon for too long, it's easy for them to be assimilated by the Sin Dragon's resentment.
"It's that scary?"
Su Yin took a closer look at the Demon Emperor's Seal, and he saw the silhouette of a dragon swimming slowly within it. From time to time, it would roar furiously.
That should be the remnant soul of the Sin Dragon that Gu Ling 'er spoke of.
"Forget it, this thing is useless to me … Blissful Hell played a huge role in Donkey and the others being able to find me so quickly. I'll bestow the Demon Emperor's Seal to you. Think of a way to refine it!"
Su Yin fiddled with it for a while longer, but he felt that it wasn't of much use to him, so he tossed it away casually.
Since this person cultivated demonic arts, he would be able to draw out the strength of the Demon Emperor's Seal better than him.
"He gave the Demon Emperor's Seal away so casually?"
"That's one of the strongest Immortal artifacts in the world …"
Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, and the others gulped as their eyes reddened.
There were less than ten Immortal artifacts in the entire continent that could be counted with one's fingers. Every single one of them was a Guardian Treasure of a sect, and even the leader of a sect might not necessarily be qualified to refine it.
If a ninth-level Pseudo Immortal expert had the chance to obtain it, they would wake up laughing in their dreams. Yet, this person did not even take a second look at it before casually giving it away to someone else.
Wasn't he a little too daring?
If they were in his shoes, they would definitely not be willing to give it away.
In an instant, deep admiration could be seen in the eyes of the crowd.
The Great Demon of Bliss did not think that he would be given the Demon Emperor's Seal away. He was stunned for a long moment before he bowed deeply. "Thank you, grandfather!"
Ever since he escaped from the Jade Sea, he had been either being beaten up, on the way to being beaten up, or lying motionlessly on the ground. This was the first time he was valued and rewarded with such a valuable treasure.
After enduring for so long, he had finally made it!
Grandfather, if you want me to go east, I won't go west. If you want me to chase ducks, I won't chase chickens.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan calmed his excitement. He held the Demon Emperor's Seal tightly and infused his demonic qi into it. A moment later, he raised his head awkwardly and said, "Grandfather, it'll be difficult for me to refine the Demon Emperor's Seal with my current strength …"
Even though Zhang Xuan's cultivation was at the peak of the Master Teacher Continent, he was still slightly weaker than the Skyfall Demon Emperor. Coupled with his innate weakness, it would be difficult for him to refine the Demon Emperor's Seal in a short period of time.
"Difficult?" Su Yin was perplexed.
"Look …" Bliss tightened his grip on the Demon Emperor's Seal as he infused his consciousness into it without any reservation.
Boom!
The Evil Dragon's Remnant Will immediately soared into the air. Even though it was still sealed within the Demon Emperor's Seal, it felt as if it was the ruler of the Nine Provinces.
"As the token of the Demon Emperor, the Demon Emperor's Seal has governed the Demonic Tribe for ten thousand years. It contains the fortune of the entire Demonic Tribe and countless transcendent-tier spirit veins. Putting aside the fact that he's just a demonic cultivator, even a Demon Emperor with a pure bloodline wouldn't be able to refine the Demon Emperor's Seal without several decades of effort!"
Knowing some secrets, Gu Ling'er explained.
Su Yin looked at the Evil Dragon that was swimming within the Demon Emperor's Seal, and he could sense the dense spiritual energy it emanated. It was similar to that of the True Dragon Sword, if not even stronger!
It seemed like the blacksmith had sealed at least one or more transcendent-tier spirit veins in the Demon Emperor's Remnant Will when forging the Demon Emperor's Remnant Will.
Su Yin grabbed the Demon Emperor's Seal and flicked his finger.
Peng!
The arrogant shadow of the Evil Dragon staggered and flipped a few times in the air.
"How dare you offend me? You're finished! You're dreaming if you think you can refine me!" the Evil Dragon roared.
"…"
The faces of Gu Ling 'er and the others twitched. They didn't know whether they should laugh or cry.
Needless to say, the Evil Dragon was the spirit of the Demon Emperor's Seal. Normally, one would have to lower one's pride and fawn over it. Yet, to send it flying with a flick of his finger, it was clear that he had offended it.
Even though the other party was powerful, he still ended up doing such a childish thing … Just the thought of it left them speechless.
"You don't want me to refine it? Fine, I won't refine it then … "
Paying no heed to Gu Ling 'er's cries, Su Yin chuckled softly. He placed the Demon Emperor's Seal on his palm and began gathering spirit veins.
Weng!
With a buzz, the pure energy harnessed within the Demon Emperor's Seal began gathering at a visible rate. The arrogant Evil Dragon from a moment ago swiftly grew in size.
Following which, Zhang Xuan drew out a transcendent-tier spirit vein from the Demon Emperor's Seal and circled around it.
"Not bad …"
Even though the spirit vein wasn't complete, it was still far superior to the half-transcendent-tier spirit vein that he had gathered earlier. Su Yin nodded in satisfaction.
Others might have thought that the Demon Emperor's Seal was a rare artifact, but Zhang Xuan didn't think so. Even though he had only taken a few glances at it, he was able to see many mistakes in its forging. If he could repair it, it would surely be of a higher tier!
In other words … it was just a defective artifact!
If he was allowed to refine it, he would give it to God of Bliss. If he wasn't allowed to refine it, he would tear it apart and forge it anew!
"Is he extracting the spirit vein from an immortal artifact?"
Seeing this sight, the crowd felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Most cultivators would try their best to gather spiritual energy and spirit veins in order to strengthen their artifacts. Yet, the young man before them was actually extracting the spirit vein from an immortal artifact. It was as if he was abandoning a diamond like the Heart of the Ocean and insisting on taking away its chain.
Was he trying to buy the casket and return the jewel? Was this something a human would do?
"W-what are you doing?"
Noticing Zhang Xuan's actions, the Evil Dragon's face warped in horror.
"It's fine. Since it doesn't want to be assimilated, it's a piece of trash. No matter what, I have to make use of it and extract some spirit veins to spend as money …"
Su Yin explained.
Transcendent-tier spirit veins were money that could be traded directly. Since there were so many of them in the Demon Emperor's Seal, it was only right for him to take as much as he could.
While speaking, Zhang Xuan's hands didn't stop moving. It didn't take long for him to extract another spirit vein!
"Stop extracting it! I-I'm willing to submit to you!"
Seeing that the other party really didn't care about its life or death, the Evil Dragon trembled in fear, losing all of its previous arrogance.
If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to extract the spirit vein from an immortal artifact even if they wanted to. Yet, this fellow seemed to be playing around, extracting as much as he wanted … If this continued, it would surely die. No matter how foolish it was, it would know what to do.
"That's more like it …" Su Yin sighed in disappointment. He tossed the Demon Emperor's Seal back to Bliss and said, "It's done now!"
"Yes …" Bliss didn't say anything else. He continued to channel his demonic aura into the Demon Emperor's Seal, and as expected, not only did the Evil Dragon not stop him, it even tried its best to help him. In just a few breaths, the Demon Emperor's Seal had been fully assimilated.
Su Yin nodded before turning his gaze to the dead scholar. A moment later, he shook his head and muttered under his breath, "How poor …"
Other than the Demon Emperor's Seal, the other party didn't have anything valuable on him at all. The only decent item he had was a fan, but even so, it was only a Spirit consummation artifact.
If the scholar was still alive, he would have surely burst into tears. To be despised by the other party despite carrying such a powerful immortal artifact … Could the other party be any more shameless?
"Brother Su, may I ask what the cultivation of that fellow … is?"
Qian Qi asked curiously.
The other party had spoken so arrogantly, only to fall for the young man's ploy and be killed on the spot. This had left one feeling that the other party was a weakling. However, given how the other party was able to pass through Decimating Abyss City without being noticed, how could he possibly be simple?
Su Yin couldn't help but feel a little perplexed. Thus, he turned to Donkey and asked, "What is his cultivation?"
"Ah?"
Dahei flicked his long ears awkwardly before replying, "He died with a stomp, and I didn't notice him at all. He should be slightly stronger than Qiong Yuan. His cultivation should be passable!"
"Passable?" Everyone clutched their chests, unable to utter a single word.
If he was stronger than Qiong Yuan, he would be a true True Immortal …
True Immortal … Was he really speaking the human language?
How could he speak of Versailles like that?
…
While the scholar was being kicked to death by Donkey, at the end of the Lingyuan River in the Lingyuan Realm, the Sky Fall Demon Emperor and the Commander were staring in the direction of Decimating Abyss City. Their anticipation gradually turned into disappointment.
"Your Majesty, the tea has turned cold …" the Commander's lips twitched.
"Heat it up. Otherwise, it will be awkward for the senior to see that the tea isn't hot …" the Sky Fall Demon Emperor said.
Before the other party left, she had said arrogantly, "I'll return as soon as the tea isn't cold!" But now, there wasn't even a single trace of her. Was it really that difficult to kill a young lady and three demonic beasts?
"It has already heated up three times! Do you want me to send someone to check on the situation? "the Commander asked.
The tea had already turned black from the heat. Rather than wait, they might as well send someone to check on the situation.
"Alright then!" After waiting for a while longer, the tomb keeper still showed no signs of returning. Thus, the Sky Fall Demon Emperor could only nod in agreement. At the same time, he asked, "Are there any more spies in Dry Origin City?"
"There aren't any left. However, we can have those from Great Qian Royal City and Great Origin Royal City come over to check on Gu Ling 'er's condition," the Commander replied.
The previous operation had wiped out all of the spies that had been hiding in the Dry Origin Alliance for several hundred years. Even if they wanted to mobilize them now, they wouldn't be able to do so. However, there were still quite a few spies in the other cities. It wouldn't be too difficult for them to gather information.
Not too long later, Zhang Xuan received a message.
After reading the message, the Commander's face paled, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?"
"Based on the news that we just received, not only are Gu Ling 'er and her three tamed beasts still alive, they're still alive and kicking. On the other hand, the tomb keeper's head has exploded, and he's lying on the ground.
“？？？”
The Sky Fall Demon Emperor's body jolted as he froze on the spot.
