"I'm sorry, A-Wang, the heavy responsibility of the demon race will be handed over to you from now on." Lan Zhou separated the demon blood and power from his body, and the extreme pain made his eyes bloodshot.
With Ah Wang's long cultivation on the Demon Fire Altar and his assistance, he will surely break through to the God Venerable realm in one fell swoop, rid himself of the impurities in his body, and possess the bloodline of the divine beast dragon race.
Seeing Lan Zhou's appearance, Yuan Lu understood that she had reached this final step.
She used her power to alleviate Lan Zhou's pain and witnessed the birth of the Demon God with him.
Lan Wang felt as if his meridians were about to explode, with surging power flowing through them, and impurities in his blood being eliminated.
This feeling made him go from heaven to hell in an instant, jumping back and forth between discomfort and comfort.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a power he had never experienced before erupted from his body.
Having lost all his strength, Lan Zhou was thrown away by the aftershock, and the exhausted Yuan Lu desperately caught him.
"I succeeded! Yuan'er, did you see that? I succeeded." Lan Zhou, who was already like a cripple and on the verge of death, saw the divine aura emanating from Lan Wang and his face showed a joyful and tearful expression.
"I saw it, I saw it." Yuanlu held Lanzhou's hand tightly, feeling his life force rapidly fading away.
"Yuan'er, I may have to go first and can no longer stay with you." Lan Zhou's hand caressed Yuan Lu's face, which was close to his.
“It’s alright, I will catch up with you. We are already husband and wife, so we must be together in life and death. Don’t even think about abandoning me. Even if we go to the Yellow Springs or the Azure Heaven, I will accompany you.”
Yuanlu glanced at the last half of the original twin lotus in her palm, then crushed it without hesitation. Blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. "Though we cannot share a bed in life, we will share a grave in death."
Once Lan Wang's power stabilized and his consciousness cleared, he saw Lan Zhou and Yuan Lu lying on the ground. He staggered over and knelt down beside them.
He channeled the power in his hands into their bodies, trying to preserve their lives.
Lan Zhou grabbed Lan Wang's arm to stop him, "Don't waste your energy, it's useless, no matter how much power you put in, it will be in vain."
"Why! Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you give me a choice? Why did you have to make decisions on your own?" Lan Wang asked hysterically, her eyes filled with tears, her face full of pain.
Everything was fine yesterday, so why has everything changed now?
Today is the day of his elder brother and sister-in-law's wedding, a time when he should be happiest. But they are leaving him forever, leaving him alone to guard the demon clan.
“A-Wang, you have the best cultivation talent among our demon race, and you are the only one who has the potential to create a divine beast bloodline. If you want our demon race to stop being oppressed and stop having to depend on others for survival…”
"The demon race must have strong individuals, and a divine beast bloodline like the Dragon Emperor must emerge again. Ah Wang, your brother believes in you. You will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the demon race and lead it to a better future."
"It's just that your brother won't be able to stay with you anymore. You have to grow up on your own and become a great tree that protects the people of the demon race."
"I don't want to!" Lan Wang cried, tears streaming down her face.
He tried his best but couldn't stop them from disappearing before his eyes. What good was becoming a god? He couldn't keep the brother and sister-in-law he wanted to keep...
The dissipating mist transformed into a streak of light and flew into the forbidden area of the demon race.
After clearing the air of stale air, Ruan Xiyan narrowed her eyes upon seeing this scene. "That's the direction of the boundary marker!"
"As a vessel for containing the turbid energy, Lan Zhou dedicated everything to the boundary marker. He was connected to the boundary marker in exchange for the power to use the turbid energy. Now that Lan Zhou is dead, something may happen at the boundary marker."
"Let's go, let's go take a look." Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu exchanged a glance and immediately flew towards the forbidden area.
Lan Wang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I'll go with you."
He had already witnessed the terrifying power of the turbid energy. Miss Ruan was right; once the turbid energy got out of control, it would destroy the demon race.
Lan Wang and Yao Chang caught up with Ruan Xiyan and the others.
Many of the forces that escaped death were outraged and chose to follow the demons, wanting to demand an explanation from them. Other forces, concerned for their own safety, hurriedly left the demon race.
The forbidden area of the demon race.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the boundary marker standing there. The blood-red patterns she had seen for the first time had disappeared. The turbid air inside the boundary marker had not dissipated. Instead, the seal on it had been strengthened.
"What's going on?" Lan Wang asked, puzzled.
As the vessel for the turbid energy, shouldn't the turbid energy suppressed within the boundary marker go out of control after the elder brother's death?
Lan Wang looked at Yao Chang beside him and said, "Elder, you are my brother's confidant and have been by his side the longest. Do you know everything my brother has done?"
Yao Chang sighed, "Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left to hide."
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor had long ago prepared a backup plan. He knew that after his death, a large amount of turbid energy would surge out of the boundary marker. Once he was gone, the erupting turbid energy would be uncontrollable and might destroy the demon race."
"All his hard work and planning would have been in vain. He would not allow such a thing to happen, and he would not allow the demon race to suffer a bloodbath from the turbid energy as soon as a god-level expert was born."
"As a vessel for the turbid energy, he was well aware of its dangers, but he had a reason to do so, so he planted a reversal curse in his body beforehand."
"After His Majesty the Demon Emperor dies, the turbid energy scattered outside will perish with him, and in exchange for not entering the cycle of reincarnation, he will guard the boundary marker of the demon race for all eternity, strengthening the seal on the boundary marker."
Upon hearing this, Lan Wang looked grief-stricken. "He knew how terrible the turbid energy was, and that if it got out of control, it would not distinguish between friend and foe and would destroy the demon race. Why did he still insist on becoming a vessel for the turbid energy?"
"Because His Majesty the Demon Emperor has no other choice. No powerful god-level figure has appeared among the demon race for a long time, and the divine realm is eyeing them covetously. Once the people of the divine realm realize that the demon race has discovered the truth about the Dragon Emperor's death, they will surely eradicate the demon race completely."
"Faced with such a colossal entity as the God Realm, the demon race was powerless to protect itself, and only annihilation awaited them. Therefore, His Majesty could not sit idly by and wait for death. He chose to take a dangerous path and use his own demon body as a vessel for the turbid energy."
"His Majesty the Demon Emperor was well aware that using turbid energy to enhance his power was no less than asking a tiger for its skin, and might even backfire, causing him to suffer the consequences. Yet His Majesty the Demon Emperor still did it without hesitation."
"The domineering power of the turbid energy will shorten the lifespan of those who bear it. Forcibly breaking through to the God-Emperor level with the power of the turbid energy is just a drop in the ocean. When he is exhausted, no one in the demon race will come to protect him."
"So he wanted to use the power of the turbid energy to make himself reach the level of a god, and then use the wedding to gather many forces in the demon race, intimidate those forces and control them at the same time, so that they would join the demon race in resisting the god realm."
