Chapter 87 The Demon Lord Breaks the Seal
"I've been trapped here for hundreds of thousands of years. People outside probably thought I was dead long ago, so it's not surprising that you haven't heard of me. Little girl, how did you end up here?" Tianyuan Demon Lord asked.
"I came here with some friends on a mission and we accidentally wandered into this place. Senior, do you know the whereabouts of my friends?" Han Wei replied.
"have no idea."
"I am worried about their safety, please forgive me for taking my leave now."
The worries are obviously fake; they're just an excuse.
Han Wei tried to leave by backing away, but she hadn't taken more than a few steps when Tianyuan Demon Lord called out to her.
"Young lady, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Chat with me a few more times, and I'll grant you a great opportunity," said Tianyuan Demon Lord with a smile. His voice softened, becoming gentle as water, as if it had turned into silk threads that wrapped around Han Wei.
Han Wei broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no, I'm too unlucky to have such a great opportunity."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You're such a beautiful young lady, I cherish you the most, and I would never harm you. Take a few steps forward." Tianyuan Demon Lord laughed, his eyes flashing red, and his whole body released a bewitching aura. If Han Wei's willpower was even slightly weak, she would fall for it.
Han Wei didn't step forward; instead, she took two steps back.
"I have urgent business to attend to, senior. Please give your opportunity to someone else!"
Having said that, the Thunder King Armor was donned, his entire body crackling with lightning, and Gu Qi's body also surged with lightning. The two transformed into two bolts of lightning and shot out of the hall. As soon as they moved, countless pitch-black tentacles lashed out at them, their speed not slow at all, chasing them out of the hall.
Han Wei was startled and merged with Gu Qi's escape light.
The two bolts of lightning merged into one, their speed increasing several times over, instantly shaking off the tentacles. The dark tentacles tried to give chase, but their limited range of motion forced them to retreat in frustration.

In the grand hall filled with bones, the red-robed demon sitting high up was still examining the black skull. His eyes gleamed red, and as he thought of Han Wei's beautiful face, he licked his lips.
"The Wood Spirit Body..."
Unexpectedly, even in such a dilapidated place as the Star Luo Realm, a Five Elements Profound Body could be nurtured, and it was even the Wood Element Body, which is known as the supreme furnace physique among the Five Elements Profound Bodies.
This little girl is perfect for him.
He had already devoured over 100,000 primordial spirits; he only needed one more to break this broken seal. The Heavenly Origin Demon Lord's eyes gleamed with a sinister light, and the location of Zhou Yating and the others in this underground palace fell into his sight. Although he couldn't leave this chair, he could lure others here.

In the winding, overlapping corridors, a young man in blue held a long spear in his hand, warily scanning his surroundings. He released his divine sense, but there were too many things here that could suppress it; even at his maximum release, his divine sense could only travel a few dozen feet at most.
He looked around and saw several skeletons on the ground. The young man in blue glanced at the skeletons but didn't see anything of value on them, so he continued walking forward.
Suddenly, he sensed something ahead of him.
With a thought, the blue-clad youth transformed into a streak of light and flew forward. He arrived at a place where countless flowers bloomed and a rich spiritual energy permeated the air. Upon seeing so many rare and precious materials, the blue-clad youth was overjoyed.
He immediately put all these rare and precious materials into his storage bag.
He didn't realize that the rare and precious materials he collected were actually human skulls. And he was still enjoying it immensely.
He saw a giant, golden tree high up, laden with gleaming golden fruits. Although he didn't know what they were, the rich spiritual energy they exuded indicated that they were spiritual fruits tens of thousands of years old.
The young man in blue flew excitedly toward the giant tree, but when he got within a few feet of it, fear filled his eyes. In this vast space, there were no rare treasures, only skeletons, piled high like mountains. What he held in his hand wasn't a rare treasure, but a gigantic skull.
The golden tree was gone; instead, a handsome, otherworldly man in a red robe sat on a throne made of bones, smiling at him with unparalleled eyes.
At this moment, the young man in blue realized that he had been under an illusion.
Oops!
But it was all too late.
It was too late by the time he stepped inside.
He is not Han Wei; he does not have Han Wei's abilities.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Screams rang out, and red light flooded the entire space like flowing water. Then, a loud bang was heard, and all the skeletons here were swept up by a terrifying hurricane. In the eye of the storm, the Heavenly Yuan Demon Lord, who had broken free of his chains and broken through the last seal, had his long hair flying and his red robe fluttering.
"Hahahahahahahaha..."
He let out a strange laugh.
Large gusts of black mist surged from his body, rushing towards all the passages outside at a frenzied speed.
Inside a passageway, an elderly man with brown hair, accompanied by several spirit beasts, suddenly sensed a sound coming from afar. His expression changed, and he immediately gripped his natal magic weapon, becoming alert to everything around him. Suddenly, black mist appeared from the end of the passageway, and the brown-haired old man turned ashen-faced upon seeing it.
He didn't actually know what it was, but having lived for thousands of years, he felt an unprecedented danger, a danger a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than when he was captured by Murong Chong.
escape!
We must escape!
A blue light surged from his body as he fled into the distance. He had used hundreds of speed-enhancing talismans, but even so, he was still too slow. The black mist quickly caught up, and screams echoed from within. In the blink of an eye, the brown-haired old man was reduced to a skeleton.
He died only a breath later than his own spirit beasts.
The black mist continued to spread. In another passage, a middle-aged man in green was fighting with a demonic beast. Suddenly, both the man and the beast felt a strange and cold aura approaching. They were terrified and turned around to see the eerie black mist.
They both wanted to escape immediately, but it was too late.
The black mist was too fast; it caught up with the two of them in an instant. In just two breaths, the middle-aged man in blue and the demonic beast were both reduced to skeletons.
Cheng Yan and Zhou Yating were also in the passage at this time, and they instinctively sensed something as well.
"I...I think I just heard screams." Zhou Yating's voice trembled.
The range of spiritual awareness here was too small. Cold sweat was already seeping from Cheng Yan's forehead, and she heard it too. Suddenly, both of them felt a chill run through their bodies. In the instant they turned around, Cheng Yan and Zhou Yating were swallowed up by the black mist. Two screams rang out from within the black mist. These two beautiful women perished just like that, turning into white bones.
