Gu Zhi really wanted to know the answers to these two questions.

Because, after he was inexplicably reborn, he inexplicably obtained the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky".

Regarding rebirth and the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, Gu Zhi had some guesses—

Maybe it has something to do with the Nine Nether Valley.

In the Jiuyou Valley, cicadas chirp all year round.

The moment before Gu Zhi was reborn, he only heard the loud chirping of cicadas around him.

When the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky" suddenly appeared in my mind, the cicadas were chirping loudly.

Later, when I came into contact with the Tianhuang Demon Halberd, the sound of cicadas suddenly began to ring in my mind.

Gu Zhi felt that the Jiuyou Valley might be hiding a shocking secret.

After rebirth, the trajectory of the world has shifted.

Not only is a huge storm about to sweep across Qingming, but Gu Kuange has also become the inheritor of the "Devouring Heaven Demonic Art"...

Is this also inextricably linked to the Nine Nether Valley?

"You should have guessed it."

The black mist under Gu Kuange's feet surged and turned into a throne.

Gu Kuange sat on the throne, looking down at Gu Zhi like a peerless demon king:

"Nine Nether Valley, that's where the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord fell!"

Only Gu Zhi could hear Gu Kuange's words.

Gu Zhi's pupils trembled slightly. Although he had similar guesses after seeing the three heavenly demons before, he was still surprised when he actually heard such words.

"The Heaven Devouring Demon Lord fell, and the Heaven Devouring Demon Sect was in chaos. The strong men from various Dao Continents came to Qingming Dao Continent and destroyed it."

“The Phantom Demon, the Midnight Demon, and the Burning Flame Demon, as traitors of the Heaven Devouring Demon Sect, are even digging up graves and wanting to devour the Heaven Devouring Demon Lord.”

"But when they opened the tomb and coffin of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord, they found it empty. The Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord's remains were nowhere to be found. This frightened them, fearing that the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord was not yet dead and that they would be punished by him, so they fled!"

"In fact, they were not wrong. The Sky Devouring Demon Lord was indeed not dead at that time."

Gu Kuange revealed some secrets of the past and told Gu Zhi.

"But the Heaven-Devouring Demon Lord wasn't faking his death, was he? His time has truly come. To be more precise, his chances of survival are truly gone!"

"That's why he was buried, but for some reason, he inexplicably came back to life. However, his condition must have been very abnormal at the time, so after leaving the tomb, he didn't show up, but was... on the run?"

Gu Zhi made a reasonable guess.

Gu Kuange nodded. He understood part of the truth and said:

"Your deduction is correct. The Sky-Devouring Demon Lord fled all the way to the northern border and entered a deep valley."

"He eventually fell in this deep valley, and this valley became the present-day Nine Nether Valley!"

Gu Kuange said:

"Actually, when I first arrived in Yunqi City in the Northern Frontier, rebuilt the Gu family here, and incorporated the Nine Nether Valley into the Gu family's territory, I entered the Nine Nether Valley and inherited the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky."

"But... I didn't choose to practice at that time."

Gu Zhi could guess why:

"You were proud back then. Even though you bore a deep blood feud and yearned for revenge, you were, after all, a descendant of a righteous and renowned family. Furthermore, you were inherently conceited. Did you believe that even without practicing the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art, you could still restore the Gu family and return to the ancestral home of Zhongzhou?"

Gu Kuange nodded. He was as proud as a king, but at this moment he sighed:

"Unfortunately, reality is cruel!"

"I've been practicing hard for years, but the gap between me and those top-tier geniuses is widening. I know I can't do it on my own."

"When you went to the Southern Wilds, joined the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect, and followed Ye Qinghan to Gu Minghui, I guessed that you also obtained the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky."

"I learned that you relied on the 'Demon Art of Devouring the Heavens' to quickly improve your cultivation. I'm very excited!"

"In the end, I chose to bow my head, face reality, and decided to practice the 'Demon Art of Devouring the Sky'."

Gu Kuange looked at Gu Zhi and said:

"Zhi'er, do you still remember the first time you caused such a commotion in Yunqi City? Why did I wait until the very end to intervene when you caused such a big commotion?"

"Because at that time, I was preparing to cut off my ten Dao bones and my cultivation to rebuild the 'Demon Art of Devouring the Sky'!"

"I was watching the battle between you and Gu Chen, waiting to see how powerful the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art is."

"I made the final decision after seeing you crush Gu Chen to victory."

"Later, I sensed the aura of the Remnant Blood Moon, and that's when I attacked, pretending to kill you. But in reality, I knew the Remnant Blood Moon could save you."

Gu Kuange sat on the throne and stretched out his hand to Gu Zhi:

"Zhi'er, come on, if we join forces, we can definitely conquer the world and become the Demon Lord together!"

"Two venerable ones in one family, how glorious is this? It is destined to shine throughout ancient history and be remembered forever!"

Gu Zhi sneered:

"Come? To be devoured and refined by you?"

Gu Kuange shook his head:

"We are father and son. How could Dad possibly devour you and refine you?"

Gu Zhi thought it was ridiculous.

His sense of danger was extremely sharp, and Gu Kuange definitely wanted to devour and refine him.

But it doesn't matter, isn't he the same?

"Zhi'er, come on!"

Gu Kuange stretched out his hand towards Gu Zhi, and a look of kindness appeared on his stern face.

Gu Zhi sneered repeatedly, and directly swung the Qilin Fist and charged towards Gu Kuange!

"Zhi'er, why are you so stubborn?"

Gu Kuange shook his head, his kindness disappeared and his eyes turned cold.

Black fog surged, and the throne emitted a cold metallic luster. He was like a demon king, domineering and majestic.

Gu Kuange slapped Gu Zhi with one palm, trying to suppress him.

At this moment, Gu Kuange's cultivation level was surprisingly...

The sixth level of Martial Emperor!

Gu Zhi was very surprised. Gu Kuange hid it really well!

He had reason to suspect that Gu Kuange had just lied. When Gu Kuange went to the Yaochi Holy Land, he was probably already more than the third level of Martial Emperor!

Bang!

The Qilin Fist hit Gu Kuange's big palm, but failed to penetrate Gu Kuange's palm!

The true blood surged in Gu Kuange's body, truly demonstrating the power of the Extreme Martial Emperor!

Gu Kuange is seven hundred feet tall, and his skin glows with a black and gold luster.

Gu Zhi, with the cultivation level of the third level of tribulation, pushed the Qilin Fist to its extreme, but it couldn't hurt him!

Obviously, Gu Kuange not only obtained the "Demon Art of Devouring the Sky", but also got other opportunities.

Because of this, when Gu Kuange was in Yaochi, he could use his strength as a first-level Martial Emperor to crush the powerful Li Qingge who was at the second level of Tribulation.

Gu Kuange’s current combat power is definitely that of a legendary genius!

"Zhi'er, you've grown so quickly that you've already reached the third level of tribulation. This really surprises me."

"Come, Zhi'er, return to your father's side, embark on the path of the Demon Lord with your father, and rule the world with your father in the future!"

Gu Kuange stood up. He was extremely majestic and domineering, exuding an invincible and terrifying aura.

"Come? Come!"

Gu Zhi shouted coldly, murderous light flashing in his eyes.

If Gu Kuange asked him to go, then he would go!

It’s just... he was going to blow Gu Kuange to pieces, then refine and devour him!
