Cracking explosions

Who set up the restrictions on the Burning Heaven Academy? Go back and rebuild them!

The phoenix trees outside the Burning Heaven Academy trembled violently, and the leaves of the ancient trees, which had stood for thousands of years, transformed into a crimson rainstorm amidst the vibrations of spiritual energy.

Thanks to the defensive magic treasures covering her entire body, Mo Zuili was not killed by the explosion immediately.

Holding on to her last breath, Mo Zuili quickly took out the elixirs given to her by Chu Qing from her storage ring and stuffed them into her mouth.

Mo Zuili felt like she had returned to the first day after she transmigrated into the book, where she was being chased by Mo Yue to the point of bleeding every step she took.

"Get out of here!" Mo Zuili roared, then forcefully spun the Phoenix Flame Spear to block Huang Tianyao's sword, which was imbued with spiritual power. His tiger's mouth was numb from the shock.

Before coming here, he was full of confidence because he had found a way to improve his cultivation.

I can't let Huang Tianyao, who is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, force me to reveal the mark Chu Qing left on me on my very first day here.

Seeing Huang Tianyao strike again, Mo Zuili took out a fire talisman and a thunder talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and threw it out.

Using all his might, he rolled to the side to dodge the person attacking from behind, then pulled out a fourth-tier magic weapon and self-destructed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the people who had been standing behind Huang Tianyao had all arrived and were now engaged in a fierce battle with Huang Tianlu and Huang Geng.

Wiping away the blood that had spilled from the corner of her lips, Mo Zuili and Huang Tianyao exchanged a glance.

She saw the ruthlessness in Huang Tianyao's eyes and realized that this man had come to launch a sneak attack today with the mentality that "either the true or false saintess must die."

The thought that "we'll die together, let's take out all the magical artifacts and go to the Western Paradise together" popped into Mo Zuili's mind, but she immediately extinguished it.

I'm currently using a self-propelled body. If I die, Qi Shuyan might be able to take me back to that body again, but the self-propelled body will truly vanish into thin air.

Brushing past Huang Tianyao's sword, Mo Zuili turned around, but was momentarily slowed by the initial burst of flames that had injured her.

Then, the Golden Core cultivator who had ambushed him along with Huang Tianyao seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the right arm with a sword.

Mo Zuili's divine sense invaded the Sumeru Bracelet, and he was about to use the magic weapon to self-destruct when he suddenly froze.

The sword was pulled from Mo Zuili's right arm, and the man tried to stab her again.

Mo Zuili seized the opportunity and threw out three more fire talismans to block the two men's attack.

Before the smoke had even dissipated, Huang Tianyao released powerful spiritual energy, enveloping the small area.

Seeing Mo Zuili standing in the center of the smoke with his divine sense, Huang Tianyao did not hesitate at all and raised his sword to point directly at Mo Zuili's vital point.

When the sword's edge penetrated two inches into Mo Zuili's shoulder blade, Huang Tianyao looked up and saw that Mo Zuili's body was frantically absorbing spiritual energy, a sign that she was about to self-destruct.

Huang Tianyao quickly drew his longsword, grabbed the man who was about to rush forward and finish him off, and said, "She's going to self-destruct."

The man's face showed disbelief, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. As Huang Tianyao pulled him back nearly thirteen feet, his body, which was filled with pure fire element, suddenly exploded.

"Princess!" Huang Tianlu cried out in anguish as he witnessed this scene.

Huang Tianyao sensed something was amiss, but feeling the fire element in the air, he had no choice but to believe that the daughter of the previous demon king, whom he had cherished for so many years, was dead.

"Let's go." Seeing that Huang Tianlu and the others were almost going crazy, Huang Tianyao quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided to retreat.

At first, Huang Geng relentlessly pursued him, until Huang Tianyao drew his sword and finally shook him off completely.

Huang Geng was injured and had to stop the pursuit. On his way back to the Burning Heaven Academy, he was immersed in the bad news that "the Holy Maiden of the Phoenix Clan was killed by Huang Tianyao".

Upon returning to the outside of the Burning Heaven Academy, they found that Huang Tianlu and the others were nowhere to be found.

Once inside the courtyard, they were led to the Cleansing Hall.

Huang Geng, thinking they were going to treat him, said in despair, "I failed to protect the princess. She's gone. We might as well go with her..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Tianlu delivered a powerful blow to Huang Geng's head: "What nonsense are you spouting, brat!"

Huang Geng was about to retort when he looked up and saw that Huang Tianlu's face was calm and showed no sadness. He suddenly realized: "The princess is not dead!?"

The woman who had pulled Huang Geng over quickly covered his mouth and gestured for him to be quiet: "The princess ordered that this matter not be made public. We must make that traitor Huang Tianyao think that her scheme has really succeeded."

Huang Geng nodded hurriedly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself that the princess was planning to bide her time and use a counter-strategy to strike Huang Tianyao when the time was right.

Mo Zuili lay in the Xixin Hall of the Burning Heaven Academy for four days before slowly waking up. If Huang Geng knew what was going on, he would definitely slap her.

"Hide your strength and bide your time, and use a counter-strategy!"

After Mo Zuili used the "puppet puppet," she immediately activated the magic weapon to self-destruct, thus creating the scene of "Mo Zuili" self-destruction that Huang Tianyao witnessed.

Having never used this magical artifact before, and having to simulate self-destruction for the first time, Mo Zuili could only gamble, but fortunately, she gambled correctly.

Otherwise, even if he crippled Huang Tianyao, as long as he wasn't dead, Huang Tianyao would never let him go.

After Huang Tianyao left, Mo Zuili held on to her last breath and didn't faint, just to remind Huang Tianlu and the others to watch their mouths.

The Phoenix Clan are all lunatics, Huang Tianlu and Huang Geng are, and Huang Tianyao is even more so!

Weak and insane! If I hadn't warned them beforehand, I feared that while they were unconscious, these people would have spread the news throughout the Phoenix Clan that Huang Tianyao had ambushed and tried to harm the Holy Maiden, and that they would have attacked Huang Tianyao.

Without even thinking, the reason why Huang Tianyao dared to kill him without any pretense was simply because he wasn't strong enough at the moment.

As long as she kills herself, no matter how much Huang Tianlu and his group jump around, they won't be able to shake her status as a saintess or her future status as a demon king.

Knowing he's not dead, he'll definitely come back to kill him!

"Princess, Princess! The princess is awake!" Mo Zuili pressed her pale fingertips against her bloodless lips, making a shushing gesture to stop the girl guarding her bedside from shouting.

Seeing the gesture, the girl nodded vigorously and whispered, "Yes, yes, Princess, I understand. I will be quieter. I will go and call Elder Tianlu over."

As Huang Tianlu approached, Mo Zuili spoke first, stopping Huang Tianlu's wailing: "How long until the trial begins? Tell me in detail the process of the demon race trial."

Huang Tianlu had no choice but to stop talking and answer Mo Zuili's question first: "There are three days left before the start of the Demon Clan Trial. The Demon Clan Trial will be held in the Phoenix Ruins. After the ruins open, people of all races can enter to seek opportunities, regardless of life or death."

However, only demons can enter the core of the ruins. Inside the core is a small world formed by the energy of successive demon kings. All demons who enter the small world will compete in a contest.

Those demons who gain the recognition of the small world through the competition can inherit their power and become the new Demon King. With your strength and qualifications, Princess, I believe you will certainly gain that recognition.

Hearing the vague words, Mo Zuili immediately sensed something was wrong and pressed for details: "How exactly do I enter the small world? What kind of competition takes place in the small world? How does the small world recognize me? Does the small world already have its own consciousness? What does it mean to gain the small world's recognition?"

After asking all her questions, Mo Zuili noticed that Huang Tianlu and the others behind him, including Huang Geng, all looked bewildered.

"You don't know these things?!" Mo Zuili exclaimed in disbelief.

After a long pause, Huang Tianlu said with a hint of embarrassment, "Those who entered the Phoenix Ruins at the very beginning were all on the outermost edge of the ruins. As a descendant of the Queen, Princess, you were able to sense the entrance to the small world after entering based on your bloodline. As for the competition... the content of each demon race trial is different, so we don't know."

Mo Zuili laughed in anger, saying, "The demon race trials are held on average once every eighty years, and each time the demon king is born from one of the two phoenix clans. After so many trials, you don't even have a decent record of them?"

The group remained silent for a long time after being asked the question. Finally, the girl that Mo Zuili saw when she woke up said weakly, "Those documents were taken away by Huang Tianyao and his group of traitors. We had not seen them before they were taken away."

"Tsk." Mo Zuili took out a pill that Chu Qing had given her, put it in her mouth and chewed it, squinting as she glanced at the group of people by the bed.

She finally understood.

These madmen who shout about "bloodline" have already lost power in the Phoenix Clan, and she, as the "Holy Maiden," is their last hope for a comeback.

Mo Zuili was pondering what to do about the trial when Huang Tianlu, fearing she might change her mind, hurriedly said, "Princess, you are the Queen's only child. All the resources of the Phoenix Clan should have been yours, but now they have all been taken away by that traitor Huang Tianyao. You...you must take them back!"

Besides, if you leave now, given Huang Tianyao's ruthless nature, she won't let you off the hook.

Mo Zuili glanced at Huang Tianlu but didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in this space suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, seeing that the pill had been completely swallowed, Mo Zuili slowly said, "I know."

In the novel, Zitui has been cultivating on Medicine King Mountain and has never returned to the Mo family.

Although Huang Tianyao's faction was worried, they couldn't find anyone, and after the demon race trial ended, they probably stopped caring about it and pushed themselves away.

But now that he has come to the Demon Realm because he was angry and wanted to fight for it, even if he backs down and leaves now, Huang Tianyao will never let him go in the future.

Moreover, Mo Zuili had no intention of backing down. Huang Tianyao's sneak attack had left him in such a terrible state; if he didn't seek revenge, he wouldn't be Mo Zuili.

But aside from considering how to obtain the inherited power, Mo Zuili remembered that the novel vaguely mentioned that demons were involved in this trial of the demon race.

However, the novel only vaguely mentions how the demons were involved, offering only a brief comment on Mo Zuili's quick-reading observation, without providing any specific analysis.

Pinching her brow, Mo Zuili lay down again and said, "Tell me everything you know, about Huang Tianyao, about the demon race trials, about your current power and your situation within the Huang clan."

The more Huang Tianlu spoke, the more alarmed Mo Zuili became. Originally, Mo Zuili thought that the Yingyan faction, which supported her ascension to the throne, had at least half of the Phoenix Clan and could fight Huang Tianyao's faction to a draw.

As a result, less than a third of the respondents supported their cause.

Moreover, the trials of the demon race are extremely dangerous, and the inherited power obtained by the demon king comes from the cultivators who died in the ruins.

Every time the Phoenix Ruins are opened along with the demon race's trials, many cultivators die.

These cultivators will become nourishment for the ruins, some providing opportunities for the next opening of the ruins, and others becoming the inherited power obtained by the Demon King.

The only thing that could comfort Mo Zuili was that Huang Tianlu had once stumbled upon a dragon clan spatial barrier in the Phoenix Ruins when he participated in the demon clan trial.
