In the wilderness, outside the Demon God Temple
, a year later, a huge altar appeared on a plain. The entire altar was made of top-grade materials. The demons naturally did not have the technology, but they had a large number of human captives. In order to rush to build this altar, most of the captives were exhausted to death.
The Demon Emperor Feng Jiu sat in the middle of the altar, surrounded by forty-eight pillars, forming a circle. The Demon Queen Lin Fanghua fell from the sky.
"Feng Jiu"
"You are here"
"Just came out of retreat, the peak of the seventh level,"
said the Demon Queen. In a year, she swallowed a lot of Hedao and the flesh of the Demon Emperor, and raised her own cultivation to the peak of the seventh level, but she still could not enter the eighth level.
"Enough."
"But I can't help you."
"No, no matter I win or lose, I will die, it's destined."
"Can you tell me who that person is? Let me remember her. If you lose, I will avenge you. If I can't avenge you, the descendants of the Phoenix clan and the Golden-winged Dapeng clan will remember her and will avenge us,"
said the Demon Queen Lin Fanghua. Her grandfather, the Golden-winged Dapeng, died at her hands, and the Phoenix Demon King also died indirectly at her hands. This hatred is irreconcilable.
“Have you heard of the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm?”
“The Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm? No.”
“I haven’t heard of it before, either. It was my great-grandfather who told me. My great-grandfather said that a long, long time ago, when this world was first born, there was a group of extremely powerful creatures. Divine beasts such as dragons and wind were among them, and the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm was also one of those creatures. However,
the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm was very weak at the beginning, and it was very difficult for it to advance to the next level. Every time it advances to a higher level, it must go through a tribulation. If it cannot survive this tribulation, it will die, but if it survives this tribulation, its strength will skyrocket.”
“So the one in Yunzhou is the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm?”
“Yes, it is it. Many major events in the world of immortal cultivation are controlled by it. My great-grandfather told me that the previous Demon Emperor might have been killed by the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm.”
“Why? Isn’t it also a demon?”
“It never considers itself a demon. It thinks it is a god or an immortal. Why does it do this? My great-grandfather guessed that it was not at the eighth level at that time, but was only going through the tribulation for the eighth time.”
“Is this the ninth time?”
"There is no evidence, but if nothing unexpected happens, it is the ninth time. After the ninth tribulation
, it can become an immortal," Feng Jiu said. The Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm went through nine tribulations. After all of them were overcome, it was perfect, that is, it became an immortal.
"Feng Jiu, you said before that destroying the world to become an immortal may be the tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm. Could it be that we have all been used?"
"Grandpa said so, but there is a turn for the better."
"Xia Qingshan"
"Yes"
"Who is he?"
"Not a human, nor a demon. He is a wisp of consciousness, a consciousness transformed by the Way of Heaven. There are fifty ways, forty-nine are derived from the Way of Heaven, and one of them escaped. He is that one. This one is a variable.
Grandpa guessed that the Nine Tribulations Divine Silkworm did not know what the ninth tribulation was. She did not dare to really destroy the world, so she summoned this one to make the tribulation full of variables."
"I don't understand a little bit, it's too complicated."
"I don't understand it either. Grandpa told me all this,"
Feng Jiu said. He is still too young and has experienced too little. Although he knows a lot of secrets, he doesn't know why he did this.
"What about this time? What should we do?"
"Just go with the flow. No one knows what will happen if something hasn't happened yet. Fanghua, she's coming soon. You go first."
"Brother Fengjiu..."
"Let's go, don't let me worry, let me fight this last battle well,"
Fengjiu said, Lin Fanghua nodded, and left soon.
Not long after Lin Fanghua left, Lin Die appeared, coming from a distance, walking step by step, seemingly very slow, but each step can span dozens of miles, and she stood under the altar in a few seconds.
"You are finally here"
"Yes, I am here"
Lin Die nodded, then she took out a few jade bottles and threw them out. The jade bottles flew to the pillars around, and the jade bottles broke, and the Dao Yun collected inside appeared, but was absorbed by the pillars.
"Forty-eight Hedao and Demon Kings are all here"
Demon Emperor Fengjiu looked at the pillars around him. Most of the most powerful creatures in the world were here, including his great grandfather.
"Now we are missing the forty-ninth"
"I am ready, take action"
Demon Emperor Fengjiu nodded, then stood up and looked at Lin Die coldly.
"No, you are not my opponent"
"Haha, how do you know if you have never fought?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant that the one who can achieve harmony with the Dao must be you, but I am here to find another opponent, Xia Qingshan,"
said Lin Die. She would not fight for the opportunity to achieve harmony with the Dao. As long as someone can make up for the Heavenly Dao, it will be enough. She came here for two purposes.
The first was to give these Dao rhymes. Only when there are forty-eight of them can it be done. Without her Dao rhymes, the Demon Emperor cannot make up for the Heavenly Dao. The second was to find Xia Qingshan.
"Xia Qingshan has disappeared for a long time."
"No, he is still here."
"Then I don't know,"
said Feng Jiu. He really didn't know where Xia Qingshan was. He had only seen Xia Qingshan a few times.
Lin Die believed that what Feng Jiu said was true. He really didn't know where Xia Qingshan was because Lin Die herself didn't know.
But he believed that Xia Qingshan must still be there. Xia Qingshan had only died six times. He was killed once by a disciple of Shenmu Sect, twice by Zhou Huaiying, once for praying for the human race, once for praying for the demon race, and once for awakening her. A total of six times, Xia Qingshan still had one chance.
"Ancestor, no matter what you want to do, I want to fight you once,"
Feng Jiu said again. No matter what Lin Die wanted to do, this final battle was inevitable.
"Are you sure you want to fight me?" "
For the demon race"
"Haha, another fool"
"Senior, please"
"Okay, wait for me to settle down,"
Lin Die said, and then she came in front of Lin Jiang and Lin Ying, cast a spell to seal the two's cultivation, and fixed them in place.
"Wait obediently, I'll be back soon,"
Lin Die said, and then she rose from the ground, and Feng Jiu disappeared with her. They couldn't fight here, otherwise the altar would be blown up.
The battle between Fengjiu and Lin Die was very fierce. Even though they were not sure how far apart they were, both of them could feel the terrifying pressure. The demons within a radius of thousands of miles from them were in a state of panic. It was the Demon Queen who stepped in and quickly evacuated the demons over there.
In the college entrance examination, Fengjiu had revealed her true form. A fire phoenix hundreds of meters high stood in the sky, and fierce phoenix fire was constantly gushing out.
Hundreds of silk threads appeared on Lin Die's body. These threads could grow at will, like sharp swords, shuttling back and forth, trying to pierce Fengjiu's body, but these threads seemed to have met their nemesis. They were burned by the phoenix fire before they could get close.
"Xia Qingshan asked you to be the Demon Emperor, as if he was restraining me."
