"I originally intended to use the Heaven and Earth Spirit Array to lock in a trace of the fetus's energy, but unfortunately, it seems that there is a 'demon' inside the fetus, which is constantly devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while releasing demonic energy to attack the array."
The laws of heaven and earth here are in chaos, and spiritual energy storms are raging. We are about to be unable to support the operation of the great formation. Please, Master, intervene immediately.
Xiao Xuan's voice was urgent.
boom!
Qin Beast's head was buzzing.
[Next spring, when the flowers bloom, your disciple cordially invites you, Master, to the capital of the Great Duan Dynasty for a visit. Your disciple has joyous news to share... joyous news... joyous news...]
At this moment, the words kept echoing in Qin Shou's mind, and his body swayed, almost stumbling and falling to the ground.
"Master!"
Xiao Xuan called out again.
Qin Shou snapped out of his daze and immediately made his move.
Chaotic spiritual energy surged into the great formation like rivers and seas, quickly stabilizing the operation of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Formation.
"Phew~"
The group, who had been struggling to hold on, collapsed to the ground in an instant, taking a deep breath and being shocked by the immense spiritual power of their Emperor's master.
Buzzing—
Qin Shou formed hand seals, continuously suppressing the rampant demonic energy within the fetus's body.
Several hours later, the demonic energy was briefly suppressed, and Qin Shou immediately carried the fetus and Wen Qing's corpse back to the mountain without stopping.
......
Buzz!
On Turtle Mountain, the void trembled.
The Qin beast emerged from within, and with a thought, activated the mountain-protecting formation, sealing off the mountain.
Inside the bamboo house.
The chaotic spiritual energy transformed into a halo, enveloping an infant within it. The infant's body surface seemed to be covered with flashing demonic patterns, accompanied by waves of demonic energy surging forth.
Pfft!
Qin Shou was already severely injured and had been holding on until now, but he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
But soon, he continued to channel spiritual energy.
"Brother Song!"
Qin Shou channeled his spiritual energy while calling out to Song Ningsheng.
Song Ningsheng appeared in the bamboo house and frowned as he looked at the scene.
"Demon fetus?!"
As he spoke, he used his illusory spirit body to form sixteen Dao seals, which he then covered the surface of the infant.
"My mental power is insufficient."
Song Ningsheng said something, and Qin Shou took out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and used his own spiritual power to channel his mental energy into Song Ningsheng's obsession.
Buzzing—
In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Song Ningsheng formed 360 hand seals in succession. The condition of the fetus stabilized slightly, but it was not optimistic. The demonic energy in the fetus's body seemed to have transformed into a deep abyss, greedily devouring the spiritual power continuously supplied by the Qin beast while attacking the Dao seals formed by Song Ningsheng.
"This is definitely not an ordinary demonic fetus!!"
Song Ningsheng raised an eyebrow, revealing a look of horror.
Just a fetus... this demonic energy is simply terrifying!
"What should we do then?"
Large beads of sweat dripped from Qin Shou's forehead, and he looked tense. It wasn't because he was exhausted of spiritual energy, but because he was afraid and worried.
However, just as Qin Shou was in a state of panic, a figure suddenly appeared silently in the bamboo house.
"Who are you?! "
Qin Shou instantly became alert, his face showing horror.
When he first returned to the mountain, he had clearly activated the mountain-protecting formation to completely seal it off from external disturbances. Under such circumstances, even a Great Ascension True Immortal could not pass through the mountain-protecting formation silently without being detected by the Qin Beast.
Faced with Qin Shou's questioning, the newcomer did not speak, but stared intently at Qin Shou's face for a long time.
boom!
Seeing this, Qin Shou gritted his teeth and directly mobilized the power of the great formation to suppress this person.
However, to Qin Shou's horror, this person stood there motionless, seemingly unaffected, even when faced with power capable of withstanding the Mahayana realm.
In an instant, Qin Shou's heart jumped into his throat.
This was the most unpredictable and unparalleled being he had ever encountered.
One test was enough for him to understand the gap.
Or to put it more bluntly, at this moment, Qin Shou's life no longer belonged to him.
Damn it!
After hiding for so many years, how could such an uncontrollable thing happen?
What's worse is that his main body and his clone are currently in the same room. If this person were to attack him, he would be truly doomed.
Could this person be a Celestial Lord-level being from the Upper Realm?
They've also come for the peerless immortal artifact...?
Qin Shou's mind raced.
Because he knew that even if a Celestial Immortal made a move, he would still be suppressed by the Great Dao of this place.
The realm of Immortal Lords is unfathomable, and I do not understand it.
In an instant.
Cold sweat covered my entire body, and my hair stood on end.
After waiting for a moment and realizing that the person showed no intention of making a move, Qin Shou asked with a heavy heart:
"May I ask what brings you here?"
When Qin Shou asked again, the man still did not answer. He simply shifted his gaze away from Qin Shou and looked with interest at the fetus enveloped in chaotic spiritual energy.
"Forbidden Demonic Body! Tsk tsk, I've finally waited for you."
After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, the man looked at Qin Shou and said:
"Do you need my help?"
"You...you're willing to help me!?"
Qin Shou was intrigued and immediately spoke.
"Call me 'Demon Lord' and let me hear it."
Qin Beast: ? ? ? ?
Song Ningsheng: Daring to call himself the Demon Lord...
Qin Shou glanced at Song Ningsheng, "Why don't you try making a sound first?"
Song Ningsheng glanced back, "They told you to call them that."
"Yes, your name counts."
The man stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Qin Shou looked at him, feeling that something was off about the current situation...
His gaze involuntarily drifted to Song Ningsheng again, his eyes signaling for his opinion.
Song Ningsheng floated back to Lotus with a "whoosh".
Qin Shou lowered his brows, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
The beast under the eaves should first lower its head and test the waters...
Try anything, even if it seems hopeless.
Qin Shou raised an eyebrow, took a deep breath, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Demon Lord...?"
For some reason, that shout made him feel a subconscious sense of shame.
“............”
The mysterious young man was taken aback for a moment, then a deep, bright light seemed to flash in his eyes.
"Hehehe... You finally called me, the Demon Lord, after all, hahaha..."
The young man laughed. He looked ordinary and wore an old, intricately patterned black robe.
“..........”
Qin Shou was completely bewildered, thinking that the laughter sounded so much like that of a villain.
Just when he felt he was being played, the other person made a move.
With a flick of the wrist, a small world appeared in the palm of the hand.
The mysterious young man used one hand to guide the fetus into a small world, nurturing it with the power of the entire world.
"This is... a real world!?"
Under Qin Shou's divine sense, he felt that the mysterious young man's palm world was very peculiar, just like a real small world, just like the Tianxuan Small World they were in at the moment, containing a rich world power.
But how could that be...?
What kind of being can effortlessly refine the power of a world and carry it with them...? Hmm, it must be some kind of secret technique or supernatural power...
Several hours later.
The demonic energy on the fetus's body slowly dissipated, and the shimmering demonic patterns on its body gradually disappeared. At the center of the fetus's brow, a black spider lily pattern seemed to appear and disappear.
"Not bad, the power of a world can barely sustain this demonic body."
The mysterious young man spoke calmly, then waved his hand to form a magic circle.
"For the rest of your time, you must stay by their side at all times, constantly channeling your chaotic spiritual power into this small world until the fetus has absorbed its power."
"Understood, thank you, senior."
Qin Shou bowed solemnly.
This person did me an enormous favor.
"Thank me? Heh."
The mysterious young man smiled calmly, his expression enigmatic.
Qin Shou looked at it strangely, but still forced a smile and asked, "May I ask why you helped me, senior?"
"I did not help you."
"???"
Damn, this completely killed the conversation.
"May I ask your name, senior?"
Qin asked tentatively.
"Name? Heh, I've long forgotten my original name. It's just that people have many names for me, for example..."
The mysterious youth looked at Qin Shou with an inscrutable smile, "Demon Lord, Great Heavenly Demon King, Great Virtue and Great Might Heavenly Venerable, oh, people of your small world are used to calling me the First Demon Lord."
"The First Demon Lord!!!"
The Qin beast suddenly raised its head.
"Who is that Second Generation Demon Lord Yaoyao... to you, senior?"
"Hmm... my younger sister, I guess."
"Ah, so it's my brother-in-law! I've heard so much about you."
Qin Shou's heart immediately settled down, and he greeted them warmly.
"Come, come, little clone, come and greet our brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?"
The mysterious young man stared at Qin Shou and smiled enigmatically again, "I hope you'll still feel this way when you wake up from your dream."
"What dream did you wake up from?"
Qin Beast was puzzled.
Staring wide-eyed at his own pair of pure, 99K-grade eyes.
"nothing. "
The first Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qin Shou smiled on the surface, but in reality, he really wanted to capture this guy and torture him.
For some reason, I just inexplicably dislike the person in front of me.
"Huh? Great... cough cough, Senior Demon Lord, you look familiar..."
"The Immortal Martial Arts Tournament! I remember the winner of the last tournament was a mysterious young man with an extremely ordinary appearance. Although I forget his face after seeing it once, this guy gives off the exact same vibe."
Qin Shou's eyes widened.
Some things are hard to understand.
Based on the strength this person has demonstrated, it absolutely surpasses the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Martial Tournament has an age limit.
"Hmm, well, this Demon Lord was just bored for a moment, so I sent out a wisp of my avatar to bully those little guys for fun."
"???"
Qin Shou was stunned.
Is this even human?
A dignified immortal master bullies some juniors in the mortal realm...
Indeed, to become powerful, one must first be shameless.
"Senior, may I ask about the situation with my grand-disciple?"
Qin Shou continued to ask questions.
"This fetus possesses a forbidden demonic body, a rare find throughout history. You can also call it the Nine Tribulations Transcending Immortality Body. She will face nine tribulations throughout her life. Once she overcomes these nine tribulations, her demonic body will be fully formed, allowing her to cultivate both immortality and demonic powers, achieving an unparalleled immortal-demon body. By the way, her first tribulation will occur at the Nascent Soul stage. You should prepare accordingly."
"That......."
Just as Qin Shou was about to ask more questions, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him had disappeared.
Where are they?
Qin Shou frowned.
This person has no manners.
They left without saying goodbye.
"Phew~"
Qin Shou breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that they're gone; they're safe now.
"I'm here."
A voice rang out.
Qin Shou's gaze passed through the threshold and landed on the mysterious young man standing on the hilltop, who suddenly flashed a set of snow-white teeth at him in the sunlight.
"Damn, that's so flashy!"
Qin instinctively raised his sleeve to cover his eyes.
"We'll meet again when you wake from your dream."
"Through countless lifetimes of reincarnation, we have finally arrived at this ultimate life, hahahahaha..."
A hearty laugh echoed from the mountaintop.
The mysterious young man vanished without a trace.
"What exactly does 'the moment of waking from a dream' mean?"
Qin Shou frowned deeply.
Damn, what's going on lately? So many strange things are happening.
"System, System Bro, can you come out and give me an answer? I'm just a simple cheater, aren't I???"
Qin Shou asked again and again, but Tongzi naturally did not respond.
........
The waves of time surge and churn.
There is no other shore here, no end, only endless sword intent transforming into a vast ocean, crashing against the past, present, and future.
"Little rascal, come out here. This Demon Lord has come to visit you."
On this day, a living person stepped into this place.
Splash—
At the end of the river, a towering figure turned and looked over.
His gaze seemed to pierce through countless layers of time and space before finally landing on this person.
"You're not dead yet."
The man's voice was powerful, causing the entire River of Time to become disordered, transforming into a sea of swords that surged towards the man in black.
However, no matter how the waves surged, they could not get close.
"Hahaha, you little rascal, what are you saying? Through countless reincarnations, even heaven and earth cannot bury this Demon Lord, so what could possibly make this Demon Lord perish?"
The young man smiled slightly, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth.
"Hey, don't say your Uncle Demon Lord doesn't love you, okay? I've retrieved the last piece of your 'Broken Sword' for you."
A hazy glimmer of light floats upwards along the river of time.
"Hmph, your mouth is still as foul as ever, Little Black."
"Damn it, how dare you address me, the Demon Lord, like that!"
The young man instantly became furious.
"Then what gives you the right to call me 'Little Scoundrel'?"
"You're a swordsman, what else should I call you if not 'Little Scoundrel'!"
"???........roll. "
A furious roar came from upstream.
Heavy waves crashed against the space-time continuum.
"Damn it, you've taken my kindness for granted! How dare you tell this Demon Lord to get lost? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The young people rolled up their sleeves, ready to get to work.
"Come, come, today I, the Demon Lord, will overturn your River of Time, leaving your 'spirit' without refuge."
"Wait a minute, what are you doing here?!"
The creatures flowing upstream in the river of time were speechless.
"I found him."
The young man said calmly.
"What! You found him!?"
The silhouettes of creatures upstream swayed.
"You really found him, that 'one' he manifested? Does it really exist?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I, the Demon Lord, come to this wretched place? You think I really missed you?"
The young man grinned.
"By the way, you've met 'him' before."
"Have I seen him before?"
The long river of time trembles.
The figure strode across the river, causing the entire vast expanse of time to seem to tremble.
"Stop, stop, stop! It's not time yet. Don't come any closer, or you'll be discovered."
The young man raised his hand to stop him.
"Anyway, I'm just here to inform you that our age-old plan will come to fruition in this lifetime."
"They're gone."
"Oh, right, that guy finally called me 'Your Majesty the Demon Lord,' hahaha, I even took a picture with him."
