Chapter 6 The Nameless Demon Lord.
At this moment, Mo Xiu was overjoyed because he had finally found the person he had been longing for. Little did he know that the "blockhead" he was holding, or rather, the Demon Lord Wuming, was truly bewildered.
Wuming was not originally from this world; he came from the cultivation world and was a demonic cultivator.
Everyone says that demonic cultivation is not the righteous path, but Wuming doesn't care.
He was abandoned at birth, and after stumbling and growing up, he simply called himself Nameless.
In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. After Wuming accidentally discovered his talent for cultivating demons, he began to cultivate diligently in order to live a good life.
At first, he was just an unknown rogue cultivator who didn't understand why he kept encountering so-called righteous cultivators he didn't even know. As soon as they discovered he was a demonic cultivator, they started threatening to kill him.
Sometimes, even when he was quietly staying in his cave, people would still come to his door and beat him up.
Wuming found these people too annoying, so he took action and dealt with them all.
Who knew that the more he dealt with those people, the more famous he became, and the more people came to harass him than before.
Annoyed by the constant provocations, Wuming recruited some subordinates to deal with those who came to provoke him.
After a period of relative calm, even more people came knocking on his door than before, and some truly powerful cultivators even came to 'exterminate demons and protect the righteous path'.
He couldn't manage all the subordinates he had recruited on his own, and occasionally, Wuming still had to step in.
In order to deal with those people more easily, Wuming could only continue to cultivate diligently. Incidentally, he also recruited even more powerful subordinates to work for him.
And so, the nameless man amassed more and more followers, and his power grew stronger and stronger. Then, from some unknown point in time, he began to be called the Demon Lord.
Outside, everyone is saying that the Demon Lord Nameless is utterly wicked.
Only Wuming himself couldn't understand it. Apart from being forced to cultivate and dealing with some fleas that came knocking on his door, he didn't seem to have done anything else.
However, becoming the Demon Lord was indeed a good thing. After dealing with a troublesome old man who led the righteous path to cause trouble, he truly enjoyed a long period of comfortable life.
Moreover, he no longer needed to work hard to cultivate later on, since he was already the most powerful.
His subordinates were all very good at currying favor with him, offering him many rare and precious herbs and various elixirs.
Wuming, having nothing better to do, would tinker with those rare and precious materials and take some pills. Even without cultivating, his cultivation level was still gradually increasing.
Until his cultivation became the strongest in the entire cultivation world, he felt there was nothing left to do in this world, it was just too boring. So he simply decided to ascend to the upper realm and become a demon god.
In his world, no one had been heard of ascending to immortality for nearly a thousand years.
So on the day he ascended, the entire demonic cultivation world was filled with jubilation, waiting for him to become a saint or a god.
At first, he thought his ascension was going very smoothly. Not only did he see a different passage open up in front of him, but the tribulation lightning that should have appeared did not materialize.
He thought it was because he was exceptionally talented and that Heaven had given him too much credit.
Who knew that when Nameless actually entered the tunnel, he discovered that the tunnel was incomplete.
At the same time, the lightning tribulations that had not appeared before suddenly materialized. Several thick lightning dragons rushed towards Wuming.
He hurriedly tried to circulate his internal energy to resist, but found that his physical body was completely unable to withstand the lightning tribulation. Before he could even think about what was happening, he was instantly reduced to ashes.
Wuming thought he had vanished into thin air, but unexpectedly, after an unknown amount of time, he regained consciousness and found himself still alive!
But then he felt a sharp pain.
Wuming hurriedly opened his eyes and saw an extremely ugly humanoid monster biting his wrist tightly.
Wuming tried to push the thing away, but his body was incredibly sluggish. He couldn't even lift his hand, let alone resist.
Could it be that after all the effort to escape the lightning tribulation, I'm going to die in the mouth of this disgusting monster?
Fortunately, he quickly realized something was wrong, because the monster was filled with the demonic energy he was most familiar with.
The nameless one could tell that the demonic energy was the source of power that allowed the monster to move.
As a seasoned demonic cultivator, the ability to absorb demonic energy was something ingrained in Wuming's very bones.
So he immediately focused his mind and tried every means to absorb all the demonic energy from the monster.
Once the demonic energy was completely absorbed, the monster indeed collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Wuming breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to check his physical condition. But he found that he couldn't even stand up properly; he fell back to the ground halfway up.
He couldn't fully control his body anymore!
The long-lost pain and embarrassment, along with the hunger he hadn't felt for many years of fasting, overwhelmed him, leaving Wuming momentarily stunned.
Could it be that his cultivation has completely dissipated, turning him into a mortal?
But that shouldn't be the case. He clearly absorbed the demonic energy just now, but for some reason, the capacity of his dantian seems to have shrunk considerably.
Compared to the demonic energy he had absorbed during his past cultivation, what he had just absorbed was merely a drop in the ocean, yet he already felt incredibly full, as if it were difficult to digest.
Looking down, Wuming noticed that he was wearing clothes he had never seen before. Looking at his body, he also realized something was wrong.
Wuming then realized with a start that his current body did not seem to be the original one.
So, he was struck dead by the lightning tribulation of ascension. After his physical body was destroyed, his soul coincidentally possessed another person.
Fortunately, Wuming's divine sense was extremely powerful, and he quickly searched through and received the memories of this body.
Only then did they discover that the original owner of this body was actually an idiot.
Of course, this is according to the perspective of ordinary people here.
Wuming easily recognized that the original owner's mental impairment stemmed from a damaged soul. The original owner of this body had a fragmented soul from the beginning, and his consciousness was incomplete.
Fortunately, his memories were still usable. He was able to discern from the original owner's memories that the world he was in now was completely different from the original one.
There are airplanes and cars that can be driven without spirit stones, as well as small boxes called televisions that play dynamic images. Many of these are novel and interesting things that he has never seen before.
Unfortunately, recently, the world has changed. Suddenly, some humans have mutated into something called zombies, the disgusting monster he just saw.
Some animals and plants have also begun to mutate, and people call the current world the end of the world.
The original owner was an idiot and was disliked by everyone since childhood. After the apocalypse, he was even more regarded as a burden.
When everyone else fled, the original owner was deliberately left behind in this warehouse.
Fortunately, his family who abandoned him still had some conscience and left him a small bag of rice and two bottles of water, so the original owner survived on this rice and water.
But the warehouse door wasn't closed, and zombies still found their way in, even biting the original owner.
With just that one bite, the invading demonic energy instantly annihilated the original owner's already fragile soul. Then, somehow, his own soul somehow transmigrated into this world.
So, that bite from the zombie just now turned him into such an ugly monster?
Thinking of this, Wuming shuddered. Through his divine sense, he could see black demonic energy floating around the wound where he had been bitten.
The demonic energy was trying hard to penetrate his meridians and even attempted to envelop and invade his soul.
This is a group of demonic energy with a very specific purpose...
Wuming felt he had learned something new. If an ordinary human were invaded by such demonic energy, they might truly become a mindless monster, only knowing how to kill and eat. Their soul might even be slowly eroded until they disappeared.
Fortunately, he was a demonic cultivator. Even though his physical body had changed, he still possessed the same powerful divine soul as in his previous life, so he couldn't be affected by such a small amount of demonic energy.
The nameless man was an expert at manipulating demonic energy, and he easily absorbed the demonic energy from the wound.
The new body's talents are not as great as before, but they are still acceptable. The stored demonic energy can only be digested slowly, and then cultivated little by little.
However, cultivation is not the most important thing for Wuming now; the most important thing is that his soul and this body are clearly mismatched.
Even if he fails to ascend, his divine soul will still be at least at the level of a half-demon god. It is precisely because his divine soul is so powerful that an ordinary person's body simply cannot withstand it.
However, if you try to control it by force, it can easily cause some damage to the body.
Wuming sighed inwardly, deciding that he could only take it slow.
The priority is to fill our stomachs and survive. There's not much other food here, just a small half-bag of rice left.
Chewing dry rice grains doesn't feel very good, but at least it fills your stomach.
Because of his physical limitations and his lack of knowledge about the safety of the outside world, Wuming decided to stay in the warehouse for a few days.
Otherwise, if a few more zombies like that come, even with his powerful absorption of demonic energy, getting bitten a few times would still hurt quite a bit. Besides, his dantian is almost full of demonic energy.
Incidentally, it would also be a good opportunity to practice controlling this body better. Unfortunately, several days passed with little progress.
Even Wuming suspected that if things continued like this, he would starve to death soon after the rice was gone!
Who knew that someone would suddenly appear, and that they would be so excited and happy to see me?
He didn't recognize this person at all. Should he even recognize him? Even in the original owner's memories, there was absolutely no trace of this person.
Wuming was a little confused about the current situation, but seeing the other person's slightly red eyes, Wuming was less wary.
People don't deliberately act in front of a 'fool,' so the other person must be genuinely expressing their feelings.
Since there's no ill intent, let him do whatever he wants.
Mo Xiu was happy for a while, and then she finally came to her senses.
Noticing the somewhat bewildered look in the man's eyes, she realized that they had never met before in their lives.
Mo Xiu suddenly felt a little relieved that the man was an idiot. Otherwise, being suddenly hugged by such a stranger, and laughing and crying at the same time, would definitely make him think he was crazy.
"My name is Mo Xiu," Mo Xiu introduced herself, looking gently at the person opposite her.
After saying that, he reached out and tidied the man's messy hair. He then helped him straighten his clothes and tried to help him up.
But when he touched the other person's arm, he suddenly noticed the obvious bite marks around the nameless person's wrist.
"What's going on?!"
Mo Xiu felt a chill run down her spine. Following the man's gaze, she saw the zombie in the opposite corner, now a lifeless corpse. Her face was extremely grim.
