Yun Che raised the Golden Crow Flame slightly higher, avoided the direction of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, and whispered, “Jasmine, where is that monster now?”
After a while, Jasmine responded, "It's still right above the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, about thirty-four feet away, and it hasn't moved. If my perception is correct, its gaze is now locked on you!"
“Where’s your profound strength? Are you sure it’s the sixth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm?” Yun Che asked again.
"...I don't dare to use too much soul power. My spiritual sense is severely limited here and I can't be sure. But at this distance, even if there is a deviation, it won't be too far."
“Okay…” Yun Che muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, turned cold, raised his head, and looked towards the area about thirty or forty feet above the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. He said in an extremely calm tone, “I’m sorry to disturb your silence, Moon Slaughter Devil Lord!”
“Moon Slaughter Devil Lord?” Jasmine asked doubtfully, “Are you testing it?”
“Not entirely.” Yun Che said carefully, “I feel… it should be the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave that Zi Ji mentioned! Zi Ji said that it had died more than 6,000 years ago. The basis for this is that since more than 6,000 years ago, the Ocean Palace disciples who entered the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave to test it have never seen any trace of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord. And, from the time the four of us entered to the time we left, it clearly existed, but there was no movement at all… It is very likely that its death was always just an illusion!”
"Because it doesn't need to disappear! As long as it hides there, even if the Four Holy Lords come, they won't be able to detect its existence!"
There was endless darkness in the sky, but suddenly two dark gray lights appeared.
Those were a pair of extremely terrifying eyes! The moment these eyes opened, Yun Che trembled violently from his body to his soul.
"Foolish human! You stayed here regardless of your life or death, just to beg me to kill you personally!"
There was no surprise at Yun Che’s discovery of its existence. The hoarse and obscure voice was filled with a frenzy and arrogance that made people’s hearts palpitate.
“…So, you are indeed the Moon-Slaying Devil Lord who existed here ten thousand years ago?” Yun Che’s heart suddenly moved.
Although Jasmine had already told him that there was a terrifying monster hidden in here, he was still horrified when he saw it with his own eyes. Because even the Supreme Ocean Palace that had been guarding the Moon-Slaying Devil Cave was unaware of its existence!
“Hahahaha!” A terrifying voice was laughing wildly: “I have only called out my name to you humans once. I didn’t expect that after ten thousand years, you still remember my name. It seems that even if I haven’t seen the sun or the moon for ten thousand years, it is enough to make you humble creatures fall into eternal fear. Hahahahaha…”
The Moon-Slaying Devil Cave’s voice was extremely unpleasant and obscure, and every word made Yun Che feel uncomfortable all over, and its laughter made him even more uncomfortable. But what he said was a true admission... He really was the Moon-Slaying Devil Sovereign that the Supreme Ocean Palace thought had long since died! !
This means...it has lived from ten thousand years ago to the present day!
Ten thousand years is enough to kill even the strongest emperor several times, but it has not disappeared in ten thousand years!
This kind of lifespan is totally unreasonable!
Even its strength is far from the legendary Hegemony Realm!
“It turns out to be this guy!” Yun Che whispered to Jasmine, “He has actually been immortal for ten thousand years. He is definitely an extraordinary monster!”
Jasmine: “…”
Yun Che took a deep breath, his heart calmed down. He raised his head and said in a calm voice, “Although you have never appeared in the Profound Sky Continent, the name of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord has never been forgotten. As for me, I am just a humble human being in your mouth. I naturally have no hatred or grudge against you, and I definitely don’t want to become your enemy. I came here just to get something. After getting it, I will leave immediately and will not reveal a single word about you... I just spoke because I disturbed your peace and quiet, and I want to express my apology.”
Obviously, facing this terrifying creature that had lived in the dark for at least ten thousand years, Yun Che definitely did not want to fight it to the death. If it did not disturb him from getting the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, and the two of them lived in peace... that would naturally be the best outcome.
However, Yun Che's hope was crushed as soon as it came out of his mouth.
“Humble, stupid, insignificant, inferior creature!!” The Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord suddenly roared, his piercing and soul-piercing voice carrying bone-piercing anger, ridicule, and disdain. His pupils, which were like the dark abyss, suddenly fell from the sky: “Not only did you attempt to seize my Netherworld Udumbara Flower, you even fantasized about asking me to let you go!”
BANG!!
With a loud bang, a tall gray shadow landed heavily in front of Yun Che.
A murderous aura that seemed to come from hell rushed towards him. Yun Che quickly retreated five steps and clenched his hands fiercely. From the sound, it seemed that they were only ten feet apart, but in the darkness, he could only see a pair of gray-white pupils. Apart from that, he could not even see a vague outline.
It knew that it wanted the Netherworld Udumbara Flower... That's right! He had heard the conversation between him and Zi Ji and the others before! !
The Moon Slaughter Devil was right in front of him. Although he could not see it, a terrible pressure was extremely heavy on Yun Che's body and soul. This pressure was completely different from all the pressures Yun Che had endured in his life. Cold, resentful, manic, arrogant, vain, bloodthirsty... He felt a strong negative emotion permeating every corner of the world. Suddenly, he had a terrible feeling that he was chained on the lava of hell and was about to face the cruelest punishment in the world.
"My life and soul are completely destroyed, so I can only imprison myself here, and dare not see the sun and moon for ten thousand years! The dark aura here restores my life and strength, and this Netherworld Udumbara Flower can restore my soul! This is a gift from God to me, and it is the most precious thing for me to survive in this world! In this humiliating world, the day when it blooms every twenty-four years is the happiest moment for me! You, a small, stupid and inferior creature, actually dared to get your hands on my most precious thing!"
An extremely powerful being would not get angry at all when facing a "humble creature". But it was obvious that Yun Che had touched its reverse scale that it could never touch!
The sudden burst of evil spirit and anger frightened Yun Che for a moment, but then he quickly calmed down, and his eyes became particularly cold: “It looks like… there’s nothing to talk about.”
Instead of getting what they wanted, the situation took a turn for the worst... This Netherworld Udumbara Flower turned out to be the Achilles' heel of the Moon-Slaughtering Demon Lord!
This means that if he wants to obtain the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, he must kill the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord!
Kill this monster that has lived for thousands of years and has endless mysteries! !
“It is rumored that more than 10,000 years ago, your strength was roughly at the early stage of Tyrant Profound Realm. And after a full 10,000 years, your profound strength has only been raised to the current middle stage of Sovereign Profound Realm…” Since it was destined to be a life-and-death battle, Yun Che naturally did not need to be polite to him anymore. He sneered and said, “This pitiful growth rate is not even as good as that of a human with the most mediocre qualifications! It seems that you, a monster who keeps calling us inferior creatures… are nothing more than that!”
“Hahahahaha!” The Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord did not get angry at Yun Che’s words. Instead, he laughed wildly: “How can a foolish and humble creature understand how powerful this king is! This king is silent now, only because of the drastic damage to his life source and soul source! As long as this Netherworld Udumbara Flower is not destroyed, give this king another three thousand years, and this king’s life source and soul source will be restored. By then, this king’s body and soul will be extremely restored, and his strength will be increasing by tens of thousands of miles a day! By then, everything in this world will bow down at this king’s feet!”
Jasmine: “…”
“Tsk.” Yun Che’s face was filled with disdain as he sneered, “I have met many strong people in my life, and there are a lot of people who are stronger than you, but when it comes to bragging, it seems that no one can compare to you. Oh… you are not a lunatic at all, are you? That’s right, this kind of absolutely dark environment, let alone driving people crazy, it is estimated that in just one or two months, it will drive people to commit suicide. Putting it this way, I suddenly admire you a little. You have been stuck here for ten thousand years, but you have never committed suicide and are still alive and well.”
“Hey…” From the darkness, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord sneered dangerously: “I have even managed to survive for a million years, so a mere ten thousand years is nothing!”
Yun Che’s brows suddenly jumped...
Millions of years! ?
"How ridiculous! I am actually wasting my breath on a lowly, stupid, and inferior creature like you!"
Boom! !
A wave of cold air exploded, and the pupils of the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord instantly turned from gray to pitch black. A thick black smoke rose from his body. For a moment, the dark aura in the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave completely rioted, as if the cold wind from hell was mercilessly sweeping and corroding every corner.
Yun Che felt a tightness in his chest, and he leaped back with all his strength, instantly retreating a hundred feet away. The dark power that suddenly exploded from the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord was extremely terrifying, and it made him feel as if he had instantly fallen into hell.
Phew!!
Yun Che had Phoenix Flame in his left hand and Golden Crow Flame in his right hand. His entire body was completely bathed in flames, and his brows were tightly knitted. While he was frightened by the dark power of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, he also inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity that shouldn't exist...
Sense of familiarity?
"You ignorant low-level creature, with your humble power, you will die if you get close to the Netherworld Udumbara Flower. There is no need for me to do it myself. However, the low-level and dirty soul aura of humans will taint my Netherworld Udumbara Flower! I have no choice but to turn you into ashes in the darkness with my own hands!!"
The endless darkness made it impossible for Yun Che to see the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord's location, and he could only rely on his limited spiritual sense to sense its power. As a result, he had already fallen into an absolute passive position before they even started fighting.
At this time, a very low voice sounded coldly:
"The Magic Book of Eternal Night!!"
This voice came from Yun Che, but it was not from Yun Che... it was Jasmine's voice!
These five short words stunned Yun Che, and the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign’s arms, which were about to blast out, also stopped instantly.
“Who is it!” A dark light several times darker than before was released from the pupils of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord. This dark light finally landed on Yun Che: “So that’s how it is! There is another soul living in your body… and it actually recognizes my magic skills!”
“Jasmine, what’s going on?” Yun Che asked anxiously. He finally understood what that inexplicable familiar feeling was… The dark aura that the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord had released was very similar to the aura of power that Fen Juechen had released that day. However, it was much stronger, richer, and purer than Fen Juechen’s.
“This monster is neither a beast nor a human!” Jasmine’s voice was frighteningly low. The shock and horror in her heart were countless times greater than Yun Che’s. “It is very likely… that he is from the Eternal Night Demon Clan… from the ancient times… a million years ago…”
"magic!!"
The "Eternal Night Magic Book" that appeared in Tianxuan Continent made Jasmine smell an extremely unusual aura. And the Moon-Slaying Demon Lord in front of her was very likely the one behind the "Eternal Night Magic Book"... the extremely terrifying truth!
