Chapter 576: Top-notch Nuwa
The mural is very rough, and it is more like a group of randomly carved lines than a painting.
There were large patches of black blood stains covering the walls, and the patterns formed by scribbled lines could only be vaguely seen.
With just a few strokes, he depicted a scene of the end of the world. The earth was sinking, the sky was shattered, and the corpses of gods and Buddhas could be seen everywhere. There were ancient gods kneeling and weeping, and great monsters lying dead in the void. There was endless blood and water, and body parts were floating...
These were all minor details of the mural. What caught Bai Donglin's attention was the towering figure rising into the sky in the center of the picture. It had a human head and a snake body, with a jade disk floating above its head. He held a banner in his left hand and an ancient bell in his right hand. There were four swords surrounding his body, and a sword formation under his feet was filled with murderous intent. Behind him, there was a Tai Chi diagram that covered the sky and kept rotating.
"If this mysterious being with a human head and a snake body is really the legendary Nuwa, then what is this describing is a scene from the ancient times? Why is it so different from what is rumored? Is Nuwa really that powerful?"
Bai Donglin's mind was slightly focused. Even though those treasures were just outlined with lines, when he observed them indirectly through the Styx, they still made him feel cold. They were obviously not just for show.
"The one kneeling and spitting blood is Pangu?"
"The dismembered bird is Dijun Taiyi?"
"That white-haired old man is..."
Forcing himself to stop his wildly wandering thoughts, Bai Donglin slowly shook his head, knowing that he had preconceived ideas. All the common sense he had before was just acquired from vague and illusory legends and should not be taken seriously.
Besides, the universe is infinite and endless, who can be sure that this "primordial world" is the world he knows?
He put his thoughts aside and looked in the direction where "Nuwa" had flown. The sky there had collapsed, and twisted darkness was flowing down in countless deep ravines, as if this unknown thing had caused all this.
These are all depicted in the murals. Bai Donglin only speculated based on the human head and snake body and those treasures with obvious features that the being with only the back left might be Nuwa.
While Bai Donglin was carefully observing the mural, the Endless Styx was still spreading rapidly, soon enveloping the entire ruined palace. A thing floating on the top of the palace, shining with divine light, also came into view.
"Eh? Battle monument!?"
Bai Donglin was shocked. Compared with the illusory Honghuang and Nuwa, this thing that could bring him tangible benefits was obviously more attractive.
The pointed-cornered monument suspended above the ruined palace looked exactly like the war monument, and its entire body glowed with a gorgeous dark purple color. The purple light was extremely penetrating, and the Demon Emperor's Palace, which was built with a super-realm core and many divine materials and immortal materials, was easily penetrated by it. Endless purple light closely connected the core's ruined palace with the Demon Emperor's Palace outside.
"I see. I was wondering why the method of building the Demon Emperor's Palace was always a little short of perfection. It turns out that the key to everything lies on this battle monument!"
Bai Donglin suddenly realized that the ever-expanding Endless Styx had almost completely covered the Demon King's Palace. All the secrets and methods of forging in it had been traced back to their source and were fully reflected in his mind.
But when he used this method to evolve and construct in his mind, he did not succeed once, and each time ended in collapse. It turned out that he had lost the most core support of the war monument.
"The power of the ancient artifact is so great, and its fatal weakness of consuming ten realms of life can only be used to curb its spread. The demon race can actually create a demon palace that does not consume ten realms of life. This is really too unreasonable."
"No wonder the demon race doesn't want to replicate the 'Demon Palace'. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't do it."
If this method can be used without restriction, the demon race will inevitably break the balance between the major forces, rise up strongly, and become an existence that is equally powerful as the human race.
But fortunately, there are only a few war steles, especially different war steles have different characteristics because of the different inheritances they carry. I am afraid that in the world, only this purple war stele can do this, and there can only be one "Demon King's Palace" in the world.
"Xi Li Feng found the method of transformation from the battle monument of 'Lin', and used it to set up a large formation. The demon clan used the purple battle monument to create a unique demon palace..."
"This war clan, which has never left any records in the world, has influenced the direction of the world in another way. It's interesting."
Bai Donglin suppressed his agitated thoughts. The endless Styx tightly wrapped around the purple battle monument outside the ruined palace. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of taking action immediately.
The Demon King's Palace and the War Monument are placed here, and now they are locked by a tributary of the Styx. He has plenty of ways to take them away, and now is not the time to alert the enemy.
The mind was withdrawn from the Styx, and everything went on silently, without attracting the attention of the Tenth Realm of the Demon Clan. At this time, the birthday banquet was also coming to an end.
"Ao You, if you have time, you can come to my temple and talk about the true self."
Feeling that it was about time, Nether Candle Dragon was the first to stand up and say goodbye. He was busy dealing with the various alien races and also had to arrange many matters for the Endless Pride War, so he didn't have much time to waste here.
"Senior, take care. Ao You will definitely come to visit you!"
Ao You and the other ten realms all stood up to see him off, giving enough face to the leader, Netherworld Candle Dragon. After another round of greetings, Netherworld Candle Dragon's figure turned into light and disappeared in an instant.
Bai Donglin's eyes flashed slightly. Only he could sense that a faint silk thread followed the Netherworld Candle Dragon and instantly crossed an infinite distance.
"Yes, that's it. Go ahead and show me the way!"
Bai Donglin couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart. This feeling of ambush on others was really wonderful. One of the purposes of his efforts to improve his strength was to prevent himself from being ambush by others silently.
The Dragon Emperor and other monsters were also very tactful. Seeing that the Nether Candle Dragon had left, they did not dare to disturb Ao You any further. They quickly stood up, thanked the ancestor for his hospitality, and were teleported out of the Monster Palace together.
After enjoying the birthday banquet hosted by the Ten Realms Ancestor, this group of core leaders of the demon clan felt refreshed and flew lightly all the way to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons together. It was the Dragon Emperor who invited many emperor-level powerhouses to continue drinking.
He simply wanted to take advantage of his ancestor's influence to build relationships and consolidate his own power.
Bai Donglin had achieved his goal, so he did not continue to follow. He left the team halfway and fled to his own cave outside.
Ao Xiang was originally a nobody, and he didn't even say a word during this trip. The other monsters were used to it and didn't care about his departure.
Only Ao Pi pondered for a moment, said goodbye to the Dragon Emperor, and followed Ao Xiang from a distance.
"Wait a minute, little brother!"
"What's up?"
Bai Donglin sensed Ao Pi chasing him from behind, so he stopped and muttered in his heart, here comes another one seeking death.
"Little brother, why are you so cold to Sixth Brother? I want to have a good talk with you about our future, a matter of life and death!"
Looking at Ao Xiang's sour face, Ao Pi's eyes flashed with anger, but thinking of his own plan, he suppressed it, forced a smile, and spoke in a friendly manner.
"oh?"
Bai Donglin still looked half dead, with his eyes slightly closed as if they were stuck with eye boogers.

"Little brother!"
"Don't act crazy! Even if we don't fight for that position, Big Brother and the others will still not let us go. Do you think they will allow even the slightest hidden danger to exist!?"
Ao Pi had an indignant look on his face. He tightly grasped Ao Xiang's shoulders with both hands and shook him vigorously, as if he wanted to wake up his useless brother.
"Cooperate with me. Only by uniting together can we protect ourselves. We don't have to climb to that position, but at least we have to keep the interests we deserve!"
"To exist in this world, we must fight. If we don't fight, how can we cultivate the great way? Where will we get the resources to cultivate ourselves? Wake up! Ao Xiang!!"
Ao Pi's fierce words seemed to have really worked. Ao Xiang's sleepy eyes slightly brightened and opened a lot. His expression became serious and he slowly said: "Sixth brother, are you serious? Are you really willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with me?"
"nature!"
Ao Pi nodded vigorously, feeling overjoyed. No matter how useless his younger brother was, he was the direct pure-blooded descendant of the Dragon Emperor. His status and position were there, so he could be of great use.
"In that case, Sixth Brother, please come back to the cave with me to discuss cooperation."
Bai Donglin was too lazy to waste time with Ao Pi, so he just tricked him back to the cave and killed him. This place was too close to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, so it was not a good idea to take direct action.
"Okay! Hahaha, don't worry little brother, as long as we work together, Sixth Brother will keep you safe!"
"Thank you, Sixth Brother!"
"Hey! You and I are brothers, why be polite?"
The dragon and the man were chatting happily with each other. They flew at a high speed and soon arrived at Ao Xiang's cave.
"Hey, little brother, you've suffered so much these years. Look at this shabby place you live in. I feel so bad for you!!"
"Humph! It's all because of my elder brother and his friends who are too abominable. They don't care about the blood relationship at all. They scared you like this. I don't even dare to go home."
Ao Pi continued his passionate performance, trying his best to get closer to Ao Xiang, and belittled the eldest prince without leaving any room for anything. In fact, Ao Xiang's cave was not bad. It was certainly not comparable to the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, but it was better than most of the powerful gods and demons.
"oh."
After returning to the cave, Bai Donglin's sullen face returned to normal. The sharp contrast between the two made Ao Pi stunned.
"Little brother, you..."
Pah! Bai Donglin slapped Ao Pi with his backhand, knocking him to the ground. He raised his foot across the air, stepped on his face, and crushed it with his boots.
"Who are you calling little brother?"
"A piece of trash like you is worthy of being my brother?"
Looking at Ao Xiang, whose temperament changed drastically, Ao Pi was completely stunned.
