Chapter 167 The Nine Heavenly Tribulations of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings
The tribulation clouds absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, and after they were fully formed, thunder began to appear.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons has a 90% chance of surviving the Nine-fold Heavenly Tribulation, and the remaining 10% is due to the possibility of an attack from external enemies.
When the thunderbolt fell from the sky, the King of Ten Thousand Demons resisted it with his physical body. The strength of the Demon King's body is incomparable to that of ordinary humans.
The body tempering of heavenly thunder gave the King of Ten Thousand Demons great courage, and he used his body to withstand all the first six levels of heavenly thunder.
Starting from the seventh thunderbolt, he used magic to resist it. However, he was unable to block all of it. Instead, he offset part of the power of the thunderbolt and only let it fall when it reached the range that his body could withstand, and continued to temper his demon body.
This method of overcoming tribulation was naturally taught by Zhou An. As long as it is successful, it will be of great benefit to the body.
The cultivators watching around were all surprised, and the great cultivators of the demon clan looked thoughtful and showed a bit of admiration.
Those who have weak bodies or who do not cultivate their bodies can only shake their heads and sigh. It is impossible for them to touch the heavenly thunder with their bodies. Not to mention the six paths, even the first path can turn their bodies into ashes.
When the ninth thunderbolt fell, the King of Ten Thousand Demons sacrificed the Nine Yin Demon Knife, a treasure he had refined for a thousand years, and together with the help of the Xunfeng Demon, offset eighty percent of the power of the ninth thunderbolt, and used his demon body to be tempered once again.
The fact that he was able to pass through the Nine-fold Heavenly Thunder so easily was enough to show that the Ten Thousand Demon King had a solid foundation and had reached the pinnacle in terms of magic weapons, skills, and physical training.
However, what most people fear the most is the nine-fold inner demon calamity, which is the most dangerous. The vast majority of cultivators are destroyed by the inner demon calamity.
A heart-demon calamity, the face of the Ten Thousand Demon King became solemn, sitting on the tribulation platform, ready for battle.
Soon, black demonic energy emerged from his body. At the same time, the spiritual talisman on the tribulation platform emitted white light into his forehead, and the black energy around him immediately became much lighter.
Seeing a magic treasure that can restrain the inner demons made the eyes of the cultivators watching around burn with fire. Most of them wanted to snatch it, but when they saw the Eight Desolate Demon Generals and the formation here, they had to suppress this tempting thought.
As time passed, the demonic energy that had been weakening suddenly grew stronger. The face of the Ten Thousand Demons turned pale, a hint of hostility appeared on his face, and his body trembled slightly.
Zhou An knew where his inner demons lay. After all, to get to where he is today, he must have fought for resources for cultivation and killed countless people and monsters. In order to compete for top treasures, he naturally had to resort to some shady means, and these would become the demons in his heart.
At this time Zhou An pinched his hands and a golden light shot out from his palm and landed on the head of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
Immediately, golden light surged out of his body and formed a rainbow, but it was only gold, surrounding his head.
As the golden light shone down, the evil spirit on the King of Ten Thousand Demons melted away as quickly as snow, and the hostility on his face also faded away.
"Mysterious light of merit!" All the people watching exclaimed in amazement.
Merit and Mysterious Light are recorded in many books, and everyone knows the benefits of this thing, but Merit and Mysterious Light can only be bestowed by heaven if one has made great contributions to the world.
They don't understand how the King of Ten Thousand Demons obtained the Mysterious Light of Merit. With this, the calamity of the inner demon can be nothing. The Mysterious Light of Merit can not only offset the inner demon, but also offset all evil karma, and even help cultivators comprehend the way of heaven. It is extremely precious.
If given a choice between Merit Xuan Guang and Xian Bao, the powerful will choose Merit Xuan Guang without hesitation.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons had received two rewards from Zhou An, and was granted two times of merit and mysterious light in the hall. The accumulated merit offset most of his evil karma, and the power of his inner demon was greatly reduced. With the help of the Positive Mind Talisman, he finally succeeded in merging his inner demon.
The moment the evil energy in his body was absorbed, a demonic light burst out from his body. He soared into the air, let out a long roar, and used his demonic power to disperse the calamity clouds, and he burst into laughter.
The Tenth Level of the Innate Realm has left many ninth level innate cultivators with a sigh of despair, even though it is only one step away. However, because of the Nine-Level Heaven Tribulation, almost ninety-nine percent of ninth level innate cultivators have been eliminated.
"Today, I will hold a banquet in the Demon Department. Everyone can come and celebrate together. Friends who have come from afar, are you willing to come and enjoy the feast?"
The cheerful voice of the King of Ten Thousand Demons spread throughout Qianjing. For cultivators, overcoming the nine levels of heavenly tribulation was truly a great joyous event, so a banquet was a natural thing.
The King of Ten Thousand Monsters flew in front of Zhou An, immediately knelt on one knee and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
"Brothers, there is no need to be polite. No matter how high or low the position of a Qianyuan official is, as long as he has made contributions, the tribulation platform will be open to him. For the nine-fold heavenly tribulation, this emperor will personally help him to overcome it."
Zhou An said to the Qianyuan officials present that he actually wanted the Jiuzhou cultivators who were observing to hear it, to prove to them the goodness of Qianyuan.
The Tribulation Platform is undoubtedly a temptation for cultivators at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. No matter what the benefits are, they are trivial in front of the nine levels of the Heavenly Tribulation. Otherwise, if they cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation, everything will come to naught.
Heitian, Qingling, Ajiu and Caiyi all came forward to congratulate them. They were truly impressed by their eldest brother. Who else in the world had the ability to bestow such merits and virtues?
At the same time, they were full of confidence in their own nine-fold heavenly tribulation. They were also rewarded by Zhou An and personally experienced the beauty of the descending mysterious light of merit.
This time, not only the observers, but also Bai Yijun and the eight tribesmen who were observing in secret were dumbfounded. Only the Heavenly Dao was qualified to bestow the Mysterious Light of Merit. Even the Golden Immortal did not have that ability.
"Master, could it be that the emperor is a man sent from heaven?" Bai Longji still had an expression of disbelief on her face. After only a few days of contact with Zhou An, their ideas about cultivation were completely shattered.
Bai Yijun did not answer, nor could he answer. After being shocked, his eyes turned hot as he said, "I will definitely get this man. You all saw it. No matter what means you use, I want this man to belong to me both physically and mentally."
"During the past few days, the emperor has shown a firm mind and seems lustful, but even our beauties can hardly shake his heart. Moreover, his cultivation is amazing, and even our charms can hardly shake his soul."
The Human Spider Demon Queen frowned. She had tried this in the past few days. Although Zhou An was very friendly with the eight tribes and seemed easy to talk to, and he also personally praised each of them for being beautiful, Zhou An's attitude towards them had not changed at all, and they could all see that.
"If beauty can't move him, then use emotion. Let's strive for greater benefits for him. I don't believe that we can't conquer this man's heart." Bai Yijun stared at Zhou An and said.
The nine-fold heavenly tribulation of the King of Ten Thousand Demons ended, the Demon Square was opened, and preparations for the banquet began. Demon beasts were killed, and spiritual fruits and spiritual wine were prepared in preparation for the dinner.
The cultivators from Jiuzhou have also left. Naturally, they dare not act rashly here. The Qianyuan Palace is different from other palaces.
In other palaces, each of them can be the boss, but here they must restrain themselves.
Originally, they would go back after watching, but everyone wanted to figure out the problem of Gongde Xuanguan, so they all went to the Demon Department to attend the banquet.
Zhou An naturally went as well, but the queen and the imperial concubine did not go and stayed in the palace.
Inside the demon camp outside Qianjing, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was in a particularly good mood. The nine-fold heavenly tribulation was his biggest worry, but now that he felt relieved, he kept laughing along the way, letting Caiyi complain all the way.
As soon as he arrived at the square, he ordered his men to bring up all the wine, meat and dishes. The monks from Jiuzhou flew to the square, and whether they knew him or not, they all came over to congratulate the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
Zhou An sat there, smiling as he watched the King of Ten Thousand Demons greet these cultivators. He asked the King of Ten Thousand Demons to do this, naturally, in preparation for the Battle of Conferred Gods.
The mysterious light of merit is an extremely difficult to resist temptation. As long as they want it, they have to join Qianyuan and make contributions to the empire.
Of course, those who are unwilling to participate in the war also have the opportunity to make merit, which is to guide the soldiers in their practice. However, the merits gained from doing so are very small, and it may take decades to accumulate.
This period of time is not long for a cultivator, but for Qian Yuan, it is the foundation for his soaring.
Sure enough, after these monks’ initial greetings, some of them couldn’t wait to ask about the merit and mysterious light. When these people learned that it was a bestowal by the emperor, no one believed it.
The mysterious light of merit comes from the way of heaven. How can it be bestowed by cultivators? Even the ancient golden immortals cannot have this ability.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons knew that it was impossible for them to believe it completely. After all, it was common sense that only heaven could send down the mysterious light of merit.
Only those who truly obtain the mysterious light of merit can fully believe it, so he did not explain in detail.
Most of the cultivators believed that the King of Ten Thousand Demons was concealing the truth on purpose, but some who had friendships with the King of Ten Thousand Demons or the generals of the Demon Tribe, after repeated inquiries and confirmation, chose to join the Demon Tribe. Those of other races who had management skills became officials in the court, or joined the newly established Xiuxin Pavilion, which was managed by True Man Cangming and was specifically responsible for recruiting cultivators.
If it is true, they will make a lot of money. If it is false, it will not be difficult to leave at that time.
In one day, Xiuxin Pavilion had 3 more innate ninth-level monks, 9 innate eighth-level monks, and 17 innate seventh-level monks.
A group of demon cultivators joined the demon tribe, all of whom were at the eighth and ninth levels of the innate realm. They were appointed as major generals. Qian Yuan’s strength increased greatly in a short time.
This move caught the Shenyin leader off guard. If it continued, the Qianyuan Empire would probably grow so strong that even the other countries in Jiuzhou would be unable to resist it. In this way, the value of the Battle of the Gods would be greatly reduced.
