Shi Wu Demon Venerable was a name that resounded throughout the Burning Moon Domain and had once dominated all the king realms.
He was one of the strongest Demon Venerables in the Jianluo Clan. Even in the entire Burning Moon Domain, he could still be ranked in the top ten.
Jianluo City.
Ying Zun's residence.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable had his hands behind his back as he stared solemnly at a scroll hanging on the wall. No one knew what he was thinking.
On the scroll was a world of nothingness. In the center of the world was a twisted mass of flesh and blood.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable looked very focused.
He looked heroic and dignified. He did not look as ferocious as Demons.
This was because the higher the cultivation level of the Soldier Demon Clan, the closer their appearance was to that of humans.
When they reached the ninth level, they were not much different from humans.
They were not the only ones. Most Demons in the Abyss were like this.
When they were at the lower level, there were all kinds of gods and demons. Their appearances were all strange, like evil spirits.
However, when they reached the higher level, they would more or less take on a human form.
Even the Demon Clan was like this. When their cultivation level reached a high level, they would take on a human form.
It was as if the human form was in accordance with some law of the Heavenly Way.
Finally, Shi Wu Demon Venerable's eyes changed.
Behind him, a middle-aged man in bright red armor who looked to be in his thirties had appeared out of nowhere.
He appeared without a sound.
He had been standing behind Shi Wu Demon Venerable for a long time, but he did not dare to disturb him.
The middle-aged man was Shi Wu Demon Venerable's eldest son, Ying Lie.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable did not turn his head. He said indifferently, "Why are you looking for me?"
"I heard that father found a son-in-law for Mingyue?" Ying Lie asked respectfully after hearing Shi Wu Demon Venerable's question.
Shi Wu Demon Venerable turned around. His expression did not change much, but he exuded a powerful aura. Ying Lie felt a deep sense of oppression.
"You're quite well-informed," Shi Wu Demon Venerable said calmly.
As the eldest son of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, Ying Lie was now close to the ninth level. Even so, he still had an instinctive respect for Shi Wu Demon Venerable and did not dare to be presumptuous.
He lowered his head, hiding the expression on his face in the shadows. He said slowly, "Father, are you preparing to use the Blood Divine Sand mine as Mingyue's dowry?"
"What?" Devil Venerable Shi Wu's gaze was like a hawk's as he asked in an extremely calm tone, "You can't?"
"It's not that I can't, it's just that …" Forced by Devil Lord Shi Wu's aura, Ying Lie lowered his head even more.
However, after hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, "Even our Ying Family only has one Bloodgod Gravel vein. Is there a need to give such a precious thing to others as Mingyue's dowry?"
"Father, I know that you love Mingyue dearly, but with Mingyue's status, even without the dowry, there are many people in Monarch City who want to marry her."
"Besides, even if you want to prepare a dowry for Mingyue, why would you give away the only Blood Deity Gravel mine?
A married daughter is like spilled water. I feel that the purple gold mine is enough. Although it can't be compared to the Blood God's Gravel mine, it's still worth a lot. "
"Are you telling me what to do?" Devil Venerable Shi Wu waved his hand and said impatiently, "I make a decision. It's not up to you to say anything."
He said coldly, "I'm not dead yet."
Ying Lie's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly said in fear and trepidation, "Father, that's not what I meant …"
"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Devil Venerable Shi Wu said coldly, "I don't care what you think. Since I've already made a decision, I won't change it easily.
If you interfere in this matter again, or make trouble for Mingyue, then don't blame me for being impolite. "
After saying that, Devil Venerable Shi Wu frowned, and his entire body gave off an extremely terrifying aura.
It was because he knew that these people had ill intentions towards Ying Mingyue that he did not hesitate to use the Blood God's Gravel mine to exchange for Ying Mingyue's life without any worries.
Ying Mingyue was his reverse scale.
Now that Ying Lie might have touched his bottom line, he immediately became cold and stern.
"Father, don't be angry … Father, don't worry. I have no intention of disobeying you. Mingyue is also my sister. Why would I make trouble for her?" Ying Lie explained nervously.
"Also?" Devil Venerable Shi Wu's eyes turned cold. "What do you mean also? She is! "
An invisible aura spread out from Devil Venerable Shi Wu's body and pressed down on Ying Lie, making him unable to breathe. He was even forced to kneel on the ground.
Ying Lie said with a pained expression, "Father, I misspoke … I promise that I'll look after the others and protect Mingyue …"
In the next moment, Ying Lie felt the mountain-like aura on his body suddenly relax.
"That's best." Devil Venerable Shi Wu's anger had not subsided. He turned around and ignored Ying Lie. "You may leave."
"Yes." Ying Lie stood up with difficulty and bowed respectfully. Then, he cautiously retreated.
Ying Lie did not stop until he was far away from Devil Venerable Shi Wu's residence and was sure that he was out of Devil Venerable Shi Wu's range of perception.
He raised his head and looked at Devil Venerable Shi Wu's residence. The respect on his face had long disappeared. It had turned into viciousness, malevolence, anger, and unwillingness.
"Old thing, you don't have long to live, but you're still so arrogant." Ying Lie said rebellious words, his eyes filled with madness. "Fortunately, Heaven has eyes and has ended your life …"
At the same time, in Devil Venerable Shi Wu's residence.
"Cough … Cough …" Devil Venerable Shi Wu suddenly coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of dark golden blood.
He panted slightly. "I only used a little bit of my Qi, and … my injuries are getting worse and worse."
Devil Venerable Shi Wu looked at the painting on the wall again and sighed. A glint of worry flashed across his eyes. He muttered, "Once the world falls into decline, the appearance of 'Desolation' is inevitable.
But who would have thought that 'Desolation' of the Burning Moon Domain would appear in Jianluo Royal City …
According to the speed at which 'Desolation' is spreading, the day of the great war with the human race is imminent. "
"Unfortunately, I underestimated the power of 'Desolation' and ended up like this." Devil Venerable Shi Wu thought of something, and his face turned paler. "I don't have the chance to witness the Demons take over the Human Domain."
His name was well-known throughout the world, and his combat strength was extraordinary. If it was not a special situation, who could cause him irrecoverable injuries and make him wait for his death?
Everything was because of 'Desolation'.
The so-called 'Desolation' was something that would inevitably appear when a world fell into decline and was about to be destroyed.
It was the omen and symbol of the world's destruction. It was a monster born from the Death Qi of the world.
It had three extremely terrifying characteristics.
The first was devouring.
'Desolation' was like a black hole. It would not directly attack life, but it would devour all the energy within its range, forming a domain of nothingness — the Desolation Domain.
Once there was no energy, even a Devil Venerable could not live for long.
It was like everyone would die without air.
At most, some people would die quickly, while others would die slowly.
The second was randomness.
The location, timing, and quantity of 'Desolation' were all random and untraceable.
The third and most terrifying point was that 'Desolation' had the ability to spread.
When 'Desolation' first appeared, it would only occupy an extremely small area. Then, under continuous devouring, the Desolation Domain would gradually expand until it covered the entire world, turning the world back into nothingness and chaos.
Finally, after an unknown number of years, everything would be reincarnated. The Desolation Domain would disperse, energy would recover, and life would reappear.
…
'Desolation' actually appeared in Jianluo Imperial City.
It was unknown if they were unlucky or lucky.
Because 'Desolation's' speed of spreading was synchronized with the world's decline.
At first, it was not fast. It was a slow process.
But once it crossed a certain threshold, it would surge at an unimaginable speed.
It was like a rolling snowball. Once it was formed, it would roll faster and bigger.
But if it was discovered in time, it might be able to stop its formation, or at least slow down its spreading speed.
If 'Desolation' appeared in a desolate and uninhabited place, it might have spread to an irreversible extent. Only then would they discover it.
But it just so happened to be born in Jianluo Imperial City.
Therefore, the moment he appeared, he was already discovered by them.
Although they knew about the existence of 'Desolation', it was their first time seeing and coming into contact with it.
Therefore, even though the ancient records said that 'Desolation' could only solve the problem of the world's decline, there was no way to eliminate it.
At that time, the first reaction of the upper echelons of Jianluo Imperial City was to try to eliminate 'Desolation'.
They sent many Seventh Stage and Eighth Stage Demonic Cultivators into 'Desolation Domain' to destroy 'Desolation'.
In the end, 'Desolation Domain' was like a huge mouth of a Taotie. It ate whoever came, and no one was able to come out.
Under such circumstances, Shi Wu Demon Venerable decided to enter personally to investigate the situation.
Firstly, it was because he was bold and had sufficient confidence in his own strength.
Secondly, 'Desolation' was still in its infancy.
He believed that under such circumstances, even if he could not eliminate 'Desolation', it would not be a problem for him to stay alive.
After entering 'Desolation Domain', he saw the source of 'Desolation Domain' at first glance — a wriggling mass of flesh and blood that was constantly closing. In the middle was a dark hole.
Waves of desolation and death aura drifted out from within.
It was' Desolation's' mouth.
He tentatively attacked the mouth.
Then he realized that he could not use any kind of energy in 'Desolation Domain'.
'Desolation', who had been sleeping motionlessly and treating him as nothing, suddenly erupted with a terrifying power the moment he attacked.
The bloody mouth suddenly opened, revealing sharp and ferocious fangs, and bit at him.
As one of the top ten existences in the Burning Moon Domain, he could not resist 'Desolation's' attack at all.
It was like the fangs of the Grim Reaper.
His first reaction was to quickly retreat, wanting to leave 'Desolation Domain'.
Even so, 'Desolation' attacked him the moment he left 'Desolation Domain'.
As a Demon Venerable, he could not withstand such an attack and suffered a terrifying injury that could not be healed.
If 'Desolation Domain' was not small and he had retreated quickly enough to prevent 'Desolation' from launching a second attack, he would have died on the spot.
At this moment, his body was still filled with 'Desolation's' aura.
This aura was constantly devouring his life force.
"Desolation cannot be destroyed by humans. The only way is to take down the Human Domain before it spreads."
This was the final conclusion of the Soldier Demon Clan's discussion.
The reason 'Desolation' appeared was that the world's decline produced a thick Death Qi, which gave birth to it.
And 'Desolation' relied on Death Qi to survive.
However, as long as they took down the Human Domain, stopped the decline of the Abyss, and destroyed the Death Qi, 'Desolation' would die on its own.
Without 'Desolation', 'Desolation Domain' would gradually disperse, and the Abyss would return to its original state.
The only thing they could do now was to reduce the consumption of resources while slowly accumulating strength for the upcoming great battle and making preparations.
"Dao Ancestor Xia …" Shi Wu Demon Venerable muttered this name. Even among the Demons, this was a well-known name.
If not for their fear of 'Dao Ancestor Xia', who had not appeared for 20,000 years, with the strength of the Demons, why would they need to prepare so much?
They could directly crush the Human Race with their army.
"The Human Race is so much weaker than us Demons. How could there be an Ancestor-level figure among them?" Shi Wu Demon Venerable muttered.
In terms of overall strength, the Demons could completely crush the Human Race.
However, even though there were so many strong humans, there had never been an Ancestor-level figure among the Demons.
Yet, the 'weak' Human Race could produce 'Dao Ancestor Xia'.
This was truly incomprehensible to them.
.....
Senluo Capital City. The huge square in front of the Green Prince Mansion where the battleships were parked was bustling.
Today was the day Lu Qingshan would leave the Senluo King World.
Dozens of feet in front of him were people who were sending him off.
Most of them were servants of the Green Prince Mansion and Qing Ge's former subordinates.
Behind him stood Yuluo, Meng Cang, and Night Shadow.
These were the people Lu Qingshan would bring with him to Jianluo Capital City.
Yuluo had nothing to say. This was Lu Qingshan's only loyal lackey.
As for Meng Cang and Night Shadow, they were the people the Black Blade Demons had transferred to him.
Firstly, it was to compensate him for the Pu Qu incident. Secondly, it was to let him have people he could use in Jianluo Capital City.
Both of them were Grade Eight Devil Cultivators.
"Your Highness, most of the resources in the Green Prince Mansion have been packed and brought along. We can set off at any time," Yuluo said respectfully. At the same time, she handed over a mustard seed.
The mustard seed contained the resources accumulated over the years in the Green Prince Mansion's treasury.
Green Snake and Wu Sen stood among the people who were sending them off. When they saw this scene, their expressions were somewhat awkward.
They had originally discussed how to work together to push Yuluo away and then take over his position.
They were just waiting to make a move.
In the end, their plan could not keep up with the changes. Man proposes, God disposes.
In the blink of an eye, the news that His Highness Qing Ge was going to become Jianluo's son-in-law to marry the only daughter of the Shi Wu Demon Venerable, Ying Mingyue, and was leaving the Senluo King World for Jianluo Capital City quickly spread through the entire Senluo Capital City, causing a huge uproar.
Although the two of them were extremely surprised at first, they did not think much of it.
The reason why Chi Pu, Diao Feng, and Qing Ge were unwilling to go to Jianluo Capital City was that if they stayed in the Senluo King World, they would have a chance to become the Lord of Senluo Capital City in the future.
If they left, they would be giving up this opportunity.
However, for subordinates like them, this problem did not exist at all.
… No matter where they stayed, it would be fine as long as they licked His Highness Qing Ge's boots.
If Qing Ge went to Jianluo Capital City, they would just follow him.
It was only when they found out that His Highness was only going to bring Yuluo and the other two people with him to Jianluo Capital City that they realized something was wrong.
The two of them immediately went to His Highness Qing Ge and tried to persuade him with reason and emotion.
"Can't bear to leave His Highness", "Want to serve His Highness by his side", and so on.
Unfortunately, all of this was useless. Qing Ge was not moved at all and directly sent them back.
This made them extremely gloomy.
… …
On the other side.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly and put away the mustard seed.
Then, he turned to his subordinates and said loudly, "I am about to leave the Senluo King World and will not be able to return in a short period of time.
There are two reasons why I am not bringing you along. Firstly, I am only going to marry Ying Mingyue. There is no need to make such a big fuss.
Secondly, my father is still in the Senluo King World. Rather than follow me, it is better for you to stay in the Senluo King World and serve my father and the Senluo King World.
After I leave, you all have to work harder. I hope that when I return, some of you can become a Demon Commander or even advance to the Eighth Stage! "
Lu Qingshan looked at Wu Sen and Green Snake in the crowd.
Wu Sen and Green Snake came to a realization and hurriedly replied loudly, "We will not disappoint Your Highness. Naturally, we will work hard!"
So that was the case.
This was the reason why His Highness did not want to bring the two of them to Jianluo Capital City!
After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the Realm Lord Manor where the Black Blade Demon Venerable was.
His eyes were filled with reluctance. No one knew what he was thinking.
His Highness must be reluctant to part with his father.
Everyone in the crowd had the same thought.
… You had better be paying attention to me. Otherwise, I will put in so much effort and put in such an emotional performance for the dogs to see!
Lu Qingshan said hatefully in his heart.
In the distance, in the Realm Lord Manor.
Black Blade Demon Venerable looked gratified. A complicated look flashed in his eyes. "Even though Qing Ge is about to leave for Jianluo Capital City, he still misses me as his father …"
He was indeed paying attention to Lu Qingshan's situation.
.....
"Let's go!" Lu Qingshan did not waste any more time. He shouted and jumped onto the battleship.
Yuluo, Meng Cang, and Ye Ying followed closely behind and boarded the battleship.
Whoosh!
With a whistling sound, the blood-stained battleship soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into a white dot.
At the same time, in the other two mansions in the Senluo Capital City.
Chi Pu and Diao Feng both looked at the battleship in the distance.
'That idiot finally left. Without this shit-stirring stick, I can focus on fighting Diao Feng,' Chi Pu thought.
'Although it's a good thing that Qing Ge left, once he leaves, there will be no one to help me share the burden. It's a pity …' Diao Feng lamented.
