"This old demon sure is ruthless to himself." The severed arm couldn't help but feel a bit more respect for Demon Lord Skyreach. The Bluestone Demon Orb was clearly an extraordinary treasure of the demonic dao. Since Demon Lord Skyreach had yet to complete his body, the Bluestone Demon Orb was his only place of refuge.
It would've been fine elsewhere, but exploding it in the seal was tantamount to cutting off all paths of retreat. Success or death was the only way to describe Demon Lord Skyreach's current predicament. Even with the severed arm's abilities, he wouldn't be able to bring Demon Lord Skyreach out safely if he failed.
Demon Lord Skyreach lived up to his name as an old demon who'd lived for many years. When Lu Xiaotian sent his consciousness out through the seal, all he sensed was pitch-black darkness. However, after Demon Lord Skyreach entered the seal for a while, his demonic cloud roiled and pointed in a direction to Lu Xiaotian.
"I sense the presence of the Elder Demons Realm in that direction. Thank you for your trouble, Pill King Lu." Demon Lord Skyreach said, "If anything happens to me, you can go to the Frostfeather Luan Phoenix to get what you want."
"Be careful," the severed arm replied. He sent Demon Lord Skyreach in the direction he'd pointed to through the seal. Unable to distinguish between them, Demon Lord Skyreach's location was a patch of mysterious darkness wherever his consciousness passed.
The Four-eyed Golden Bird, the Phantom Golden Wraith Lord, and the others were all extremely curious about Demon Lord Skyreach's actions. Even if the seal was embedded in the Heavenly Boundary Stone, there was a limit to the number of times it could be used. If they wanted to use the Heavenly Boundary Stone to achieve their goals, they'd need some time to prepare. They weren't like Lu Xiaotian, who'd acted as soon as he'd recovered his magic power.
In truth, it wasn't that Lu Xiaotian had made meticulous preparations, but that Demon Lord Skyreach had been waiting for a long time. If he failed his tribulation and couldn't ascend to the world of immortals normally, he'd need clues from Demon Lord Skyreach to sneak into the world of immortals. Otherwise, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't know where to start. As a result, the partnership between the two was naturally more stable than usual.
Sure enough, after exploring a certain distance in the direction that Demon Monarch Skyreach had pointed out, Lu Xiaotian's secondary soul could faintly sense an incomparably refined Devil Qi that seemed to be restrained somewhere in the void.
"Elixir King Lu, that's the place. Send me there," Demon Lord Tongtian said eagerly.
"Alright!" The severed arm suddenly poured even more magic power into the stone tablet seal. The stone tablet seal absorbed the power from the Heavenly Boundary Stone and transformed into a long spear that pierced into the endless darkness.
The long spear pierced through the void as if it was piercing through a pitch-black quagmire. Its speed gradually slowed down. This process lasted for nearly the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Then, there was a low sound as if it had pierced through a barrier. Just like that, the spear entered one of the Devil Caves, and the fiendish and scorching Devil Flames erupted like a volcano.
"Ancient Devil True Flames! Haha … Elixir King Lu, I'm leaving now. If I can recover successfully, I'll go with Elixir King Lu to look for trouble with those bald donkeys of the Buddhist Sect! "
Demon Lord Tongtian let out a long howl. Facing the surging Ancient Devil True Flames, he advanced instead of retreating. The demonic cloud that he transformed into sank into the Ancient Devil True Flames.
The severed arm's heart trembled. Within the Ancient Devil True Flames, Demon Lord Tongtian's demonic shadow seemed to have transformed into the image of a Devil Phoenix. Under the nourishment of the Ancient Devil True Flames, although it was in imminent danger, there was still a sliver of hope.
It was actually a reference to the Phoenix's Nirvana Art, Rising From The Ashes! Lu Xiaotian's Secondary Primordial Spirit was greatly shaken. Compared to the real Phoenix, this technique was naturally inferior. However, the Heavenly Reaching Demon Monarch was still far from being at the end of his rope. It was not impossible for him to use this technique to recover his strength and even advance further! His Great Vermilion Bird Nirvana Seal was not without some similarities to this art that Demon Lord Tongtian used. Indeed, the Great Dao of the world led to the same destination.
Demon Lord Tongtian was fighting with his life on the line. If he failed, even his Primordial Spirit would be extinguished by the Ancient Devil True Flames. The severed arm could only watch from the sidelines. Since Demon Lord Tongtian chose to use such a tragic method to fight for a chance to return to his peak, the severed arm naturally respected his choice.
Every successful cultivator had their own pride. For example, the Golden Condor was unwilling to be reduced to a mere spiritual bird and was willing to risk his life in search of an opportunity. How could a peerless Demon Lord like Demon Lord Tongtian be willing to be ordinary?
Even though Demon King Heavenly Master had fallen into depravity for tens of thousands of years, he had never stopped racking his brains for the sake of reviving Lu Xiaotian. Even though he had been severely injured by Lu Xiaotian and his foundation in the Realm of Chaos had been destroyed, he had still risked his life to wait for Lu Xiaotian in the Endless Demon Sea. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but respect Demon King Heavenly Master for his shrewdness and determination. In this world, Demon Lord Tongtian was definitely not a Mahayana Realm cultivator by luck.
At the entrance of the Ancient Devil Realm, Demon Lord Tongtian's demonic shadow was howling and struggling in the Ancient Devil True Flames. Even Lu Xiaotian's secondary soul could not determine how long Demon Lord Tongtian could last. It all depended on Demon Lord Tongtian himself.
"To think that Lu Xiaotian would spend so much effort just to send the Heaven Reaching Demon Lord into the Ancient Demons World! Didn't the rumors say that Lu Xiaotian and the Heaven Reaching Demon Lord were locked in a fierce battle?" The Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird and the Ghostly Lord of the Golden Wraith World were bewildered at the sight before them.
Logically speaking, Lu Xiaotian should have made a mortal enemy of Demon Lord Tongtian after nearly ten thousand years in the Demon Realm of Chaos. But now, the two of them were together again. Even these Mahayana Realm cultivators couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of the world.
No one could understand the pain of the Heavenly Reach Demon Lord throwing his Primordial Spirit into the Ancient Demonic True Flames. Everyone present had their own choices, and even the Nine-eyed Demon Owl would not risk everything like the Heavenly Reach Demon Lord.
While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Demon Lord Tongtian was close to being annihilated several times in the Ancient Devil True Flames. But miraculously, he managed to hold on. Towards the end, the situation was becoming more and more stable. Demon Lord Tongtian's imposing demonic shadow filled the entrance of the Ancient Devil Realm.
"Elixir King Lu, what do you think of me?" The Nine-eyed Demon Owl was shocked that Demon Lord Tongtian had managed to hold on under such torment. Naturally, he didn't forget about his own interests.
"Go. Leave some of the Ancient Devil True Flames you collected for me." The broken arm agreed to take over the Ancient Devil World, and the stele imprint merged with the Heavenly Boundary Stone. The number of times it could be used was extremely limited. After this matter, Lu Xiaotian would not open the Ancient Devil World again. He would only leave a way out, and if he failed to ascend, he would use it again. The Ancient Devil True Flames were unique to the Ancient Devil World. Even if he couldn't use it himself, Xiang Kuang, Du Fenghu, and the others could still use it.
The Nine-eyed Demon Lord nodded and bid farewell to the Phantom Golden Wraith Lord. Then, he followed the path opened by the stele seal and flew straight to the entrance of the Ancient Devil Realm. Unlike Demon Lord Tongtian, the Nine-eyed Demon Owl was still in his prime and didn't need to risk his life like Demon Lord Tongtian. He merely spat out a black pot from his nine eyes shrouded in black clouds. When the pot opened, a portion of the Ancient Devil True Flames at the entrance of the Ancient Devil Realm was sucked into the pot.
"I didn't expect the Phantom Lord to be friends with Elixir King Lu." The Four-eyed Golden Bird was amused inwardly, but he spoke with some surprise.
