"Let's go!"
Seeing that Gu Yifeng was determined to leave, Zhuang Qingqian nodded and did not force him. He said a few words and the group left the Ten Thousand Demon Forest together.
...
In a secluded mountain range within the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, a man in blue robes fell from the void, his face deathly pale, his body disheveled, and a huge wound on his chest from which black blood was constantly oozing.
The man in blue clutched his chest and struggled to his feet, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with a bitter expression on his face.
"I never imagined I would be defeated by an ant! How is this possible? My physical body is comparable to a Golden Core cultivator!"
The man murmured, revealing himself to be the demon king—the Heavenly Demon—who had been defeated by Gu Yifeng!
He stayed in the Demon Forest for a long time, using his talent and various methods, along with the vast wealth he had accumulated over thousands of years, to transform the Demon Forest into a paradise for monsters. No one could do anything to him, not even ordinary Taixu Realm cultivators.
However, not long ago, a tremendous battle erupted in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. When he rushed over, he learned that the Ten Thousand Demon Saint King had awakened, and his plan had completely failed.
"The Holy Lord of Ten Thousand Demons... Heh, whether it's true or not, there's always a way to deal with you."
Thinking of the power of the Myriad Demon Saint King, a ferocious look appeared on the Heavenly Demon's face.
"I, the Heavenly Demon, will never lose! You wait, one day I will kill you with my own hands and take your place!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
With a few unrestrained laughs, the Heavenly Demon transformed into a cloud of black mist and swiftly sped away into the distance, disappearing into the vast forest in the blink of an eye.
In a village on the edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, Gu Yifeng sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his face solemn. He seemed to blend into his surroundings, his aura calm and quiet. It was difficult to detect his presence without careful observation.
"Buzz~~"
After a long while, Gu Yifeng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with two cold glints, before slowly regaining his composure, a slight smile curving his lips.
"I never expected that the rat would save me when I was in the most danger. But I will repay this kindness someday. Moreover, it also helped me obtain the Myriad Demon Saint Body."
With a thought, Gu Yifeng saw a bead emitting a strong bloody smell appear before him; it was none other than the remains of the Myriad Demon Saint Body.
"Boom!"
A sudden tremor shook the earth, and Gu Yifeng's expression changed slightly. He soared into the air, only to see a blood-red cloud sweeping in from mid-air.
"Demon Emperor Xueyun! This guy actually found me."
Gu Yifeng thought to himself, "This is bad!" Then, without hesitation, he used his movement technique and turned to run.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A sharp shout rang out, and the demonic clouds in the sky rolled and chased after Gu Yifeng. Every time he approached the range of the demonic clouds, lightning bolts would strike down.
Gu Yifeng dodged the lightning, but he was only at the Taixu Realm and his physical strength was limited, while the blood clouds gathered more and more, soon covering the entire sky.
From the depths of the blood-red clouds, a roar shook the heavens, and a vast pressure descended, suppressing all the realms.
Gu Yifeng's body trembled violently, and he almost knelt down. He was horrified. Was this the Demon Emperor? He was indeed terrifying. Even with only a remnant soul left, he could still make Gu Yifeng, a peak mid-stage Taiwei cultivator, completely powerless. Perhaps only a master at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm could rival him.
"Bang!"
The blood-red clouds suddenly dissipated, and a torrent of spiritual rain poured down. Not far in front of Gu Yifeng, a majestic figure stood, bathed in golden light, like a great sun radiating intense sunlight.
Who are you?
Gu Yifeng stared at the figure in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of apprehension appeared in his eyes.
"Demon Saint King, you are destined to die!"
Gu Yifeng said coldly, then formed a hand seal, and a rune condensed into shape. He then struck out with his palm.
"Ten Thousand Swords Technique - God-Slaying Thorn!"
With a loud shout, Gu Yifeng's figure disappeared, and the rune instantly flew towards the Heavenly Demon.
"snort!"
The Heavenly Demon snorted coldly, stretched out one hand, and a blood-red blade appeared out of thin air, slashing towards the runes.
"Clang~"
The moment the blood blade touched the runes, it emitted a clear, ringing sound. Immediately afterward, a pale yellow ripple spread out, enveloping the entire mountain range. Endless sword energy burst forth, devouring the Heavenly Demon.
"Pfft..."
A crimson light flashed, and the Heavenly Demon's body was shredded into dust, leaving only a blood crystal floating in mid-air.
"Huh? Why wasn't this blood crystal destroyed? Is it because my strength is insufficient?"
Upon seeing the blood crystal, Gu Yifeng was slightly surprised. However, this time he did not collect the blood crystal, but went straight to the location of the Myriad Demon Token and pressed it down with one finger.
"Check in at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains!"
A beam of light shot into the sky, and Gu Yifeng disappeared from the spot.
"Host has successfully checked in. The Invincible Protection reward has been issued!"
...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Gu Yifeng traversed the void, the wind whistling in his ears. He looked up and saw several figures riding swords ahead. Among them was a woman with an exquisite face, who was none other than Xue'er, whom he had met before.
She was probably also heading to the City of Ten Thousand Demons. He glanced at her and then paid no more attention to her.
"Um?"
Xue'er suddenly felt a gaze fall on her, and her heart skipped a beat.
"That person is so strange."
Xue'er murmured, but she didn't think much of it and continued on her way.
...
The outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
On a desolate hill, a man and a woman were talking. If Gu Yifeng were present, he would be astonished. These two were none other than Li Changkong and Mu Qingluan.
"Junior sister, where have you been these past few days?"
Li Changkong asked anxiously. He had been in the valley for several days without finding any trace of anything, and he was getting a little anxious.
Mu Qingluan blushed slightly and lowered her head, saying, "Senior brother, don't panic. I was just practicing my cultivation technique and forgot the time. Senior brother, I have something to attend to and will take my leave first."
After saying that, she headed straight for the City of Ten Thousand Demons, and although Li Changkong was puzzled, he could only follow.
...
At the summit of Mount Wanyao, a raised stone tablet bears three gilded characters: Wanyao City.
At this moment, the area beneath the city wall was densely packed with people. A total of eighty-five Foundation Establishment disciples had gathered here. They were all disciples selected through the Myriad Demon Secret Scripture, and each of them had excellent aptitude. At this moment, their eyes were filled with excitement.
"Today is the grand ceremony for the recruitment of disciples by the Holy Palace of Ten Thousand Demons. We, the eighty-five of us, are the future hope of our Ten Thousand Demons City."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons stood in mid-air, looking down at his many disciples, and said in a loud voice: "I believe you have all heard that deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there are treasures left behind by my Lord of Ten Thousand Demons. Whoever obtains them will surely be able to leap over the dragon gate and soar to the sky."
"Splash!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately erupted in excitement.
Carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.
