#497 - Eighth Generation: The Demon King’s precious elixir, the secret realm undergoes a dramatic ch

Lingxu Cave, core area.

All I saw was an ancient palace standing proudly on top of a thousand-foot mountain.

It is majestic and as high as the sky.

Look from a distance.

It is like a fairy palace in the clouds, which makes people fascinated and want to step into it and take a glimpse of the mysteries inside.

This palace is where the destiny is inherited and it is also the core of the entire Lingxu Cave.

It’s just that this place is protected by the Law of the Void, which can confuse true and false realities.

If an ordinary genius wants to step into that palace, he must not only pass the numerous tests in the core area, but also defeat several Nirvana monsters.

You also have to comprehend a bit of the laws of the Void Dao within a limited time, so that you can gain the recognition of Master Lingxu and obtain the destiny inheritance he left behind!

As for the first two conditions, perhaps there are still some geniuses who can do it.

Then the last test is almost impossible.

After all, the Law of Void is a force that only a leader-level being can access.

Not to mention a mere Soul Palace warrior, even if a powerful being with a destiny rashly touches it, it would be no different from seeking death.

But Master Lingxu asked a group of geniuses from the Soul Palace to comprehend a trace of the power of the Void Dao Law within three months. Isn't this asking them to die?

Therefore, over the years, Lingxu Cave has been explored dozens of times.

But so far, no one has been able to pass this test.

However, when most of the geniuses were still fighting fiercely in the inner area, a group of people approached the thousand-foot mountain quietly without any hindrance.

"Your Highness, the laws of the Void Dao are mysterious and unpredictable. Even the mighty ones of Heavenly Fate cannot comprehend them. Isn't it too risky for you to go to the Lingxu Palace in person?"

"Why not let me explore the way ahead and eliminate some dangers for you, young master?"

A burly man knelt on one knee, looked at the young man in the python robe in front of him, and spoke in a very respectful tone.

"No."

"The other forces are just a pile of loose sand and are nothing to be afraid of. The only one we should be careful of is the East Sea Monster Clan."

"You stay here to prevent them from interfering with the king."

After Zhou Xun gave a few instructions, he stepped out of the crowd and climbed up the thousand-foot peak step by step!

…

And the other side.

A dozen burly and strange-looking powerful demon warriors were standing beside a clear pool of water.

The deep pool was a thousand feet wide, and the water was clear and cold. Although it was not frozen, the temperature was frighteningly low, emitting a terrifying chill.

If an ordinary Soul Palace warrior approaches rashly, he will be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant!

"Yao Hong from the East Sea demon clan, I am here to meet Senior Mo Jiao. Please come out and see me!"

A young demon with two horns on his head and wearing a purple robe spoke loudly while looking at the dark pool in front of him that was emitting wisps of cold air.

As soon as the words fell.

The originally calm water surface suddenly began to ripple, as if some huge monster was about to emerge from the bottom of the pool.

Immediately following.

Under Yao Hong's solemn gaze, the cold water in the pool exploded, and a black shadow shot out from the bottom of the pool like lightning, finally appearing in front of everyone!

It was a black dragon that was a hundred feet long. Its thick snake body was as majestic as a mountain, and its body was covered with palm-sized dark green scales.

These scales are shiny and glossy, as if they were made of fairy gold and divine materials, and have indestructible defensive power.

On its triangular snake head are a pair of scarlet vertical pupils filled with ferocity and brutality.

His eyes were eerie and terrifying, flashing with a cold and dim light. If an ordinary mortal looked into his eyes, he would probably be frightened to death on the spot.

This black dragon has a terrifying aura. It has shed its old body and reached the perfect state of nirvana. It is obvious that it is only one step away from entering the realm of destiny!

"Are you a direct descendant of the East Sea Dragon lineage?"

"The East Sea demon tribe and my Lingxu beast clan are of the same clan. We have always kept to ourselves. Why did you come to see me today?"

The black dragon spat out a scarlet snake tongue, looked Yao Hong up and down, and spoke in human language.

It is said that the Jiaolong lineage in the East China Sea were descendants of real dragons. Even though they have only a trace of dragon blood left today, it is still enough to command thousands of sea creatures and dominate this sea area.

"Yao Hong greets you, Senior. This is a gift and a secret letter from my father."

Facing a great demon that was about to transform into the Destiny Demon King, even though Yao Hong had a noble status, he did not dare to be arrogant at this moment.

As he spoke, he immediately took out a jade talisman and a demon pill and handed them to the black dragon with both hands.

"Is this... the precious pill of the Destiny Demon King?"

The demon pill was transparent and flawless, only the size of a longan, but the terrifying energy contained in it moved even the Mo Jiao.

As the king of the ferocious beasts, it is the oldest existence in this secret realm and has lived for thousands of years.

Due to the suppression of the Void Dao Law here, its cultivation level could not be improved any further. Even if it tried its best, it could not improve even a single step.

But if it can refine this precious pill, it will definitely be able to step into the Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm in a short period of time. Even if it continues to practice in seclusion for a period of time, it may not be impossible for it to become the Heavenly Fate Demon King!

"As expected of you, you are a descendant of the East China Sea Jiaolong. You are indeed very generous. However, you would not come to my temple for no reason. Let me see what you are up to."

However, as a great demon who has lived in Nirvana for thousands of years, Mo Jiao is extremely cunning and even more shrewd than many human cultivators.

It stared at the precious pill and was not overwhelmed by the valuable gift. Instead, it looked at the jade talisman, sent out a ray of divine consciousness, and carefully browsed the information in it.

"The East Sea demon tribe has already contacted the demon court? Are you planning to unite with my fierce beast lineage, kill all the human geniuses, and jointly annex Lingxu Cave Mansion?"

There was a hint of solemnity in Mo Jiao's eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth and asked.

"The Dali Dynasty is only a secular force, so there is no need to worry. But do you know that behind these human geniuses, there are many shadows of major religious sects?"

"If these great religious traditions investigate, how will you respond?"

Hearing this question, Yao Hong seemed very calm, as if he had already expected Mo Jiao to ask this question.

"Don't worry, senior. Although the human race is strong, our demon court is also famous for a long time. Even if the strong men of the human race pursue us, we will have strong men from our demon court to take action."

"What's more, the human race's sects are fighting against each other and there are constant disputes. They are busy fighting among themselves, so how could they start a war over a small Lingxu Cave Mansion?"

"In that case, I will trust you this time."

With Yao Hong's words, Mo Jiao no longer hesitated and swallowed the magic pill in one gulp.

The East China Sea demon clan and the Lingxu ferocious beast clan are of the same lineage. They are all of the same blood and are members of the demon clan. They can take this opportunity to climb up the big tree of the Demon Court.

For all ferocious beasts, this is a rare opportunity.

Not long after.

Under the powerful effect of medicine.

The Mo Jiao's aura also surged, reaching the Half-Step Heavenly Fate Realm!

Then it soared into the air, soaring straight up, flying between heaven and earth, and suddenly let out a deafening roar.

"The human race claims to be the most intelligent creature on earth, and regards our demon race as blood and flesh medicine. They must pay a heavy price for this!"

"Children, go hunting, go killing, go eating, and kill all the human geniuses!"

The voice of the black dragon was like rolling thunder, spreading to every corner of the inner area.

As soon as the words fell.

Countless ferocious beasts immediately came out from the mountains and started crazy hunting mode. As long as they encountered a human genius, they would kill him directly.

For a while.

The Lingxu Cave was flooded with blood, and many human geniuses died tragically at the claws of the ferocious beasts before they could even react.

Moreover, the ferocious beasts have been multiplying in Lingxu Cave for hundreds of years, and there are many great monsters in the Nirvana realm among them.

On the other hand, all the human geniuses who entered the Lingxu Cave Mansion were at the Soul Palace realm. How could they possibly be a match for those Nirvana monsters?

What's more, on the side of the ferocious beasts, there is also a thousand-year-old black dragon with the cultivation level of half a step to heaven. For the geniuses of the human race, this is a completely one-sided massacre!

"Senior Mo Jiao is worthy of being the king of the fierce beast lineage. His strength is indeed extraordinary. Now with the help of Senior Mo Jiao, we will definitely be able to take down the destiny inheritance this time."

Yao Hong's eyes lit up slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

No wonder my father was willing to spend a huge amount of money to win over this black dragon and took out a Demon King Pill.

Looking back now, it is indeed worth the money!

However, compared to the overjoyed Yao Hong, the human race's genius was in a state of widespread grief and a hellish scene as if the end of the world had come.

In the past, when the Lingxu Cave was opened, although there were many frictions between the human race and the demon race, they were all controlled within a certain range and did not completely tear each other apart.

But this time they never dreamed that the ferocious beast clan would actually collude with the East China Sea demon clan to kill them together.

And judging from the posture of the ferocious beasts, they obviously want to kill them all without leaving a single one alive.

In addition, the human geniuses were fighting each other, completely disunited, and it was difficult to organize any effective resistance.

"Where are the powerful men from the Dali royal family?"

“At this critical moment of life and death, they should stand up and rally the people!”

Many human geniuses asked with tears in their eyes.

But in the face of everyone's calls, all the powerful men of the Dali royal family seemed very indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them and they looked like they were keeping aloof, and they had no intention of taking any action at all.

Their primary goal of this trip is to assist Zhou Xun in obtaining the inheritance of destiny at all costs. As for the life and death of the geniuses of other forces, what does it have to do with them?

Moreover, the royal family has a deep foundation, and they brought many powerful treasures this time. Even if Mo Jiao has entered the Half-Step Heavenly Destiny realm, they dare not act rashly against him!

that's all.

The human race’s geniuses suffered heavy casualties, and everyone faced the bloodiest and darkest secret realm trial.

The only exception is Lu Yuan.

While the outside world was in a bloody turmoil, he was hiding in a remote cave, concentrating on his cultivation, and had no idea what was happening outside.

Two months passed in a flash, and there was only one month left before Lingxu Cave was closed.

Lu Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged as motionless as a stone sculpture, finally opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

The vast spiritual power in his body was like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, all gathering together, eventually causing his aura to surge rapidly, and he instantly entered the ninth level of the Soul Palace!

"Seven Soul-Building Pills, thousands of top-grade spirit stones, and hundreds of Soul-Nourishing Pills can only barely allow me to reach the ninth level of Soul Palace cultivation?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself. In addition to the joy brought by the breakthrough in strength, he also felt a little helpless.

Under normal circumstances.

Such a large amount of cultivation resources is enough for an ordinary Soul Palace warrior to successfully enter the Nirvana realm.

However, the "Pure Lotus Heart Sutra" and "Sword Art of Self-Cutting" that Lu Yuan practiced have extremely high requirements on the quality of spiritual power and are both big consumers of resources.

As a result, he exhausted all his resources and could only reach the ninth level of the Soul Palace.

However, although these two skills consume a huge amount of resources, the benefits they bring are also obvious.

The most intuitive point is this.

His soul and spiritual power are extremely solid, and are not weaker than those who have reached Nirvana.

Especially in his soul palace, the slowly rotating pure heart lotus and the three-inch true spirit sitting cross-legged were becoming more and more lively.

Every move he made was filled with an indescribable Taoist charm!

If the man in brocade clothes was still alive, Lu Yuan would not have needed to use the self-killing sword technique. He could have shattered the light curtain with pure physical strength alone.

"The Soul Palace is complete, the True Spirit is complete, and what I have to do next is to wait for the natural transformation of the physical body and usher in an unprecedented nirvana."

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Compared to the Soul Palace Realm, which is still at the martial arts level, the Nirvana Realm is an all-round sublimation of life and has truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

The gap between the two is like the change between a dragon and a snake, they are completely two different species.

He had a feeling that once his physical body was sublimated and he entered the Nirvana realm, his own strength would become so terrifying that it was unimaginable!

"There is only one month left before Lingxu Cave Mansion closes. It's time for me to go out and take a look."

Lu Yuan walked out of the cave and stomped his right foot slightly. The ground collapsed, burying the cave and completely destroying all traces he left there.

After doing all this, he walked away and quickly headed towards the inner area.

However, not long after he left the cave, he was attacked by ferocious beasts several times.

"These beasts kill people on sight. Are they crazy?"

Lu Yuan bent his bow and drew his arrow, shooting continuously, killing the ferocious beasts instantly without waiting for them to get close.

Afterwards, he put away the corpse of the ferocious beast, and sent out a trace of divine consciousness, covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius, and his brows immediately frowned.

"Something is wrong. Why is there no living person within a ten-mile radius? Did something happen in Lingxu Cave Mansion?"

In Lu Yuan's perception.

Apart from the ferocious beasts roaming around and the corpses of the geniuses from other forces, there was not a single living person to be seen.

This matter was so strange that Lu Yuan even felt a hint of something unusual.

Half a day later.

Lu Yuan galloped for thousands of miles in one breath and finally saw a young genius with bruises all over his body, lying in a pool of blood, dying.

The Tianjiao was wearing a black robe and looked unfamiliar, but the sword pattern on his clothes gave Lu Yuan a sense of déjà vu. (End of this chapter)
