"Everyone, stand back!"
Ling Yun spoke sharply.
Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Yellow Emperor exchanged a glance and then retreated behind Lingyun.
The Haotian Demon God let out a chilling roar and charged forward wielding his demonic blade.
Ling Yun then channeled his spiritual power into the ancient immortal bottle.
Instantly, the ancient immortal bottle burst forth with a soft white light.
The moment he saw the white light, a look of fear appeared in Haotian Demon God's dark eyes.
His breath dropped rapidly.
boom!
The white light from the ancient immortal bottle instantly intensified, engulfing the Haotian Demon God.
Sizzle~
His demonic aura was annihilated by the white light, and he let out a painful howl.
Sensing the extraordinary power of the Ancient Immortal Bottle, the Haotian Demon God immediately turned to flee.
The next moment!
The ancient immortal bottle flew out of his hand and instantly appeared above the head of the Haotian Demon God.
The intense white light poured down, eroding the primordial spirit and physical body of the Haotian Demon God.
"Roar~"
The Haotian Demon God fought back desperately, and the black crystal instantly emitted an eerie light to resist the white light.
However, the white light seemed to possess boundless power, completely annihilating the eerie glow.
Sensing the power of the white light, Ling Yun's pupils instantly shrank to a tiny size, his handsome face filled with astonishment.
"This...this is the power of One!"
"What!"
Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Yellow Emperor exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Only the Guardian of All Things possesses the power of One. Could the Ancient Immortal Bottle be the Guardian of All Things' magical artifact?!"
"Impossible! Does the Guardian of All Things, being merely a consciousness, need magical artifacts?"
"Then tell me, whose magical artifact is the Ancient Immortal Bottle? Besides the Guardian of All Things, which powerful being throughout history has wielded its power?"
"..."
Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Yellow Emperor actually started arguing.
With a loud bang!
Under the erosion of the white light, the Haotian Demon God exploded and shattered, his body and soul destroyed.
A black crystal, about a foot square, hung in the air, enveloped in intense white light.
It seems that the ancient immortal bottle did this intentionally to prevent the power of the crystal from affecting Ling Yun and the others.
"My spiritual energy is quite depleted, I need to sleep for a while!"
The ancient immortal bottle murmured before disappearing into Lingyun's sea of consciousness.
Killing the Haotian Demon God did not cost the Ancient Immortal Bottle much spiritual power; its main purpose was to suppress the black crystal.
This clearly demonstrates the terrifying nature of this crystal.
Under the white light, the black crystal could not affect Ling Yun and the others' minds.
The four of them crowded around, eager to find out what was going on.
Just then, an angry shout interrupted them.
"Who are you? Why did you kill my Demonic Path Ancestor?!"
boom!
Five terrifying figures appeared in this great world, and instantly the demonic aura surged and swept across the entire world, with dark clouds pressing down on it.
The newcomers were five of the six ancestors of the demonic path.
Ling Yun glanced at them and said coldly:
"Do you need a reason to kill someone? Get out of here! Or I'll kill you all too!"
Ling Yun had never liked the demonic path and couldn't be bothered with them, let alone explain.
Upon recognizing Ling Yun, the Demon God Wushang, one of the founders of the Demonic Cultivation Sect, instantly flew into a rage, pointing at Ling Yun and shouting:
"Back then, the Heavenly Demon God accidentally killed your senior brother. Later, you killed him with your own hands, and then killed three other Demonic Ancestors. It's time to end this feud."
Why are you still so relentless! We acknowledge that you are strong, your realm is high, and you are invincible, but you cannot bully our demonic path like this.
Is there no justice left?
Is there no law left?
Even the demonic path can be reasonable, provided, of course, that they encounter someone they can't defeat.
Back then, the Heavenly Demon God and Lingyun's senior brother fought fiercely for a supreme treasure, and Lingyun's senior brother unfortunately perished.
This is the person who treats Ling Yun the best, besides his master, in the Misty Immortal Sect.
After becoming a Celestial King, Ling Yun left his sect for the first time and found the lair of the demonic path, where he killed four demonic patriarchs in succession.
It almost sparked a war among the heavens, but the sect leader of the Misty Immortal Sect persuaded Ling Yun to return.
The original Ten Ancestors of the Demonic Path have now become the Six Ancestors of the Demonic Path.
If we remove the Haotian Demon God who fell today, only the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Path remain.
Hearing the words of the Demon God Wushang, Ling Yun smiled:
"Do people of the demonic path still uphold heavenly principles and the law? This is truly an eye-opener."
After saying that, his expression turned cold and he said in a deep voice:
"Leave in three breaths, or the patriarch of the demonic path will never exist again!"
"Arrogant! You've deceived the demons too deeply!" The Demon God Wushang was furious, and he took out a jade pendant and roared:
"Ling Yun, do you really think we demonic cultivators have no friends?"
Knowing that even the combined might of the five Grandmasters of Demonic Cultivation would not be a match for Qiongqi, he chose to ask for help.
At this moment, the demonic immortal who had been released by Ling Yun and the others suddenly appeared and hurriedly said to the five demonic ancestors:
"Master, please stop! Listen to me..."
He revealed everything that Haotian Demon God had done.
Upon hearing this, the five ancestors of the demonic path changed their expressions drastically. Only then did they realize that the Haotian Demon God had committed such heinous and unforgivable acts.
If they had known earlier, even if Ling Yun and the others hadn't made a move, the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Path would have joined forces to annihilate Haotian Demon God.
After all, indiscriminate consumption of living beings is intolerable to all realms, and the already bad reputation of the demonic path will become even worse. At that time, the so-called righteous paths such as Confucianism and Taoism will definitely condemn and even destroy the demonic path.
After a long moment of astonishment, the Demon God Wushang showed a look of remorse and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ling Yun and the others, saying:
"We apologize! It was our fault for interrogating you without investigating the cause. Please forgive us, fellow Daoists!"
Ling Yun ignored him, and the Yellow Emperor waved his hand, signaling them to get lost.
The Five Ancestors of the Demonic Path and the True Immortal of the Demonic Path left without the slightest hesitation.
They never discovered the existence of the black crystal. Ling Yun concealed the aura of the black crystal when they appeared.
Otherwise, things would have turned out very differently.
If they see black crystals, they will inevitably associate them with the power of black crystals. For the five ancestors of the demonic path who have been trapped in the Immortal King realm for countless years, it is possible that they will seek fortune in danger.
After the Five Ancestors of the Demonic Path left, Ling Yun, Qiongqi, the Great Sage, and the Yellow Emperor sat on the ground, carefully studying the black crystal.
It was constantly enveloped in white light, and remained in a state of deathly silence.
Ling Yun looked at the black crystal and said in a deep voice:
"The black crystal contains boundless power, but to obtain this power, one must surrender one's sanity and do the thing one hates most!"
"What do you mean?" Qiongqi asked, feeling only a terrifying power.
Ling Yun explained:
"Haotian Demon God has never been interested in eating, and even hates eating! From this, we can infer that the price he paid for obtaining the power of the black crystal was to become the person he hated the most."
Qiongqi suddenly realized that he had heard that the Haotian Demon God had almost died because of eating, and in a fit of anger, he became immortal and abstained from grains, and thus developed a strong aversion to eating, to the point of loathing it.
A person who hated eating terribly became a gluttonous maniac who devoured countless living beings.
It is highly likely, as Ye Yun deduced, that he used this as an exchange to obtain the power of the black crystal.
The Great Sage waved his hand and said:
"Let's not waste any more time here. Brother Ling, study it carefully, and tell us when you've figured it out!"
The Yellow Emperor shook his head and smiled, "Ever since we've been with Brother Ling, we've both become too lazy to use our brains."
After saying this, Ling Yun and the others got up and returned to the Phoenix Ancestral Land.
