Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 313 Black Turtle Shield
After Kunpeng left, the atmosphere in the entire Demon Master Palace seemed to relax.

Kunpeng's unfathomable strength and majesty can make the monsters feel an invisible pressure even at the most relaxed moments.

After Kunpeng left.

The five demons, Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, Demon King Peng, King Golden Horn and King Red Poison, raised their glasses again, talked about interesting things in the demon world, and shared their experiences in their cultivation. For a moment, the banquet hall was filled with laughter and was very lively.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the spirits of the monsters became more and more excited. After another round of drinking, the monsters went downstairs to rest.

The next morning.

When the first ray of golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the ancient palace of the Demon Master Palace.

Demon King Peng couldn't wait to find Xiao Chen and said with a smile:
"Brother Jinjiao, last time I said I would take you to the Demon Master Palace for a tour."

"Today, since you are here, I will do my best to be a good host."

This brother Peng has always been straightforward and so enthusiastic.

Xiao Chen and He Sanniang looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Chen responded with a smile:
"Brother Peng, then we will be disrespectful to refuse."

then.

Demon King Peng took Xiao Chen, He Sanniang, and the two little gourd spirits, Jinhu Duoduo and Jinhu Ye, to visit the scenery near the Demon Master's Palace.

"Brother Jinjiao, this is..."

Along the way, Demon King Peng talked incessantly about the scenery along the way, from the strange mountains and rocks to the rare birds and animals, all of which made him talk about with relish.

It has to be said that the Hunyuan Heluo Realm created by the River Map and Luoshu is truly magical. It is completely a small primitive world where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely rich, making it very suitable for the demon race to practice.

After the monsters had been enjoying themselves in the Hunyuan Heluo Realm for more than a month, He Sanniang went back to prepare to become their apprentice.

The ancient apprenticeship ceremony process is a solemn and complicated traditional ceremony. It represents the formal establishment of the master-disciple relationship and cannot be neglected.

In particular, the Demon Master Palace is a powerful force, and it is unknown how many demon soldiers and generals it has under its command.

The Scorpion Demon has to meet them and get acquainted with them.

……

After one month.

The atmosphere in the Demon Master Palace's main hall was solemn and dignified.

Under the towering palace dome, Kunpeng sat on the first throne. His body seemed to be integrated with the entire palace, exuding an indescribable majesty and power.

Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao and Demon King Peng’s three disciples served behind Kunpeng.

On both sides of the hall, there were carp, yingyu, tiger dragon, Zhe, Feiyi... a group of ancient demon gods lined up, some of them had strange shapes, some were extremely powerful.

Below, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and generals from all walks of life were arranged in neat rows, forming a densely packed mass that looked like a black ocean.

Some of them hold sharp blades, some wear armor, some have strong bodies, and some look menacing, truly exuding a demonic aura.

Of course, this is not the entire strength of Kunpeng's subordinates.

Some demon soldiers and generals are still stationed around the Beiming Sea on guard.

"The remnants of the demon court?"

Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the dense and majestic array of demon soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel amazed.

These demon soldiers of Kunpeng are all agile, sharp-eyed, and well-trained. I wonder how much stronger they are than the demon soldiers in Kanyuan Mountain.

However, as the national teacher of the Demon Court back then, Kunpeng's status was only second to Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun. He was also known as the teacher of all demons, and he still had many old subordinates.

Although these former members of the Demon Court suffered heavy losses in the war between the wizards and the liches and were already crippled.

But as survivors of the Lich War, they are all powerful and experienced, and their strength should not be underestimated.

"Now that this matter is over, I should also go and establish a mountain and recruit demon soldiers and generals in Northern Juluzhou."

Xiao Chen pondered.

The name of the monster, the shadow of the tree.

With the reputation of King Golden Horn in Uttarakuru now, as soon as the king's flag is raised, some demon generals will come to surrender.

This is much better than his slow approach.

With Kunpeng's status and seniority.

In this demon master's palace, people naturally do not worship the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Luotian gods, nor the Buddhas of Lingshan.

Only the two words "Heaven and Earth" are used as incense.

Xiao Chen stood below, his eyes sweeping over the ancient demon gods such as Yingyu, Hujiao, and Zhe. These mythical creatures from the previous life still existed in reality in this mythological world.

According to the Shanhaijing, the fish is a strange beast with a fish body but bird wings, and can make bird calls like mandarin ducks. Wherever it appears, it will bring floods.

This fish should be a combination of a bird and a fish. Like Kunpeng, it also practices the two arts of "Feng Shui" at the same time.

As for the tiger dragon, there is a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Southern Mountains": "Beyond the Daoguo Mountain, the Yu River originates and flows southward into the sea. In it there is a tiger dragon, which has a fish body and a snake tail, and sounds like a mandarin duck."

The Tiger Dragon is known as the "tiger in the water". It is a combination of a dragon and a tiger. It has a tiger head and a dragon body, with tiger stripes all over its body and a fish body covered with glittering dragon scales. It can freely shuttle through the deep sea and stir up waves.

As the saying goes: "Wind comes from the tiger, water comes from the dragon", this tiger dragon should be the same as Kunpeng, and is also a practitioner of the "Feng Shui" way.

As for Zhe, it is also an ancient ferocious beast, synonymous with cruel and terrifying, and it refers to it with its ferocious face.

Xiao Chen recalled the record about Zheng in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: "Two hundred and eighty miles to the west is the Zhang'e Mountain, which has no vegetation but is full of jade and green. It is very strange. There is a beast there, which looks like a red leopard, with five tails and one horn. It makes a sound like hitting rocks, and its name is like Zheng."

……

"I wonder what the real body of Pansi Immortal is?"

Xiao Chen pondered to himself.

Pansi Daxian, as the master of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and the seven spider spirits, is guarding the Zhuo Gu Spring. It is estimated that he is also a demon god from the ancient demon court.

Recalling the time when he killed the Pleione Chicken before, Xiao Chen had specially gone to find the Great Immortal Pansi to seek her help.

However, according to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Great Immortal Pansi was not in the cave at that time, but had gone to visit friends in Uttarakuru, and has not returned yet.

"I don't know whether Pansi Immortal is in Beijuluzhou now, or has returned to Xiniuhezhou."

"I haven't touched her 'Purple Sword' yet."

“What a pity.”

Xiao Chen said in his heart.

He was not familiar with Pansi Daxian before. After all, Pansi Daxian was a female senior, so he didn't feel comfortable asking to touch the "Purple and Green Sword" hanging at her waist.

Then the sword of the Great Immortal Pansi is naturally extraordinary. It is at least a good acquired spiritual treasure.

Later, he often went to Pansi Cave, and after a few visits, he gradually became familiar with Pansi Immortal.

The blue-robed Pansi Immortal was always cold and hard to approach. He still preferred the purple-robed Pansi Immortal, who was gentle and easy to talk to.

But when he went to look for Pansi Immortal again, Pansi Immortal was no longer in Pansi Cave.

It's a pity that King Jinjiao hasn't gotten the Purple-Green Sword yet.

at this time.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Demon Master Palace was solemn and sacred.

Demon King Kun stood in front of the stone wall of the main hall. The two colorful characters "天地" (Heaven and Earth) looked particularly eye-catching under the candlelight.

Demon King Kun held three incense sticks and worshipped heaven and earth devoutly. Then he turned to face the demons and began to introduce the Scorpion Spirit:
"There is He Sanniang from the demon clan of Hezhou, Xiniu. She has excellent aptitude and has come to become my disciple... adding another powerful general to my demon master palace!"

Demon King Kun's voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the hall.

Following his introduction, the Scorpion Demon slowly walked forward.

The Scorpion Spirit respectfully handed Kunpeng the letter of apprenticeship with both hands. After completing the ceremony, he formally expressed his intention to become Kunpeng's apprentice and said:

"I, as a disciple, shall follow my teacher's example, observe the etiquette of a disciple, respect my teacher, learn from the lower and accept the teachings from the upper. I wish to receive my teacher's careful instruction, impart knowledge, and pass on virtue and art..."

The Scorpion Spirit's voice was clear and pleasant, yet every word was sonorous and powerful, revealing her desire for spiritual practice and her respect for her master.

Kunpeng accepted the invitation to become a disciple.

Afterwards, the Scorpion Queen presented Kunpeng with a cup of covered tea, which was called "change of name tea", implying that from now on she would officially call Kunpeng "Master".

Kunpeng took the tea bowl, took a sip, then stood up and formally announced to the group of monsters below the hall:

"From now on, Kudu will be my second disciple."

As Kunpeng finished speaking, the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers below the hall shouted in unison:
"Meet the Red Via King!"

"Meet the Red Via King!"

"Meet the Red Via King!"

……

Their voices merged into a powerful wave of sound, shaking the entire hall as if it were trembling.

After the ceremony.

Kunpeng slowly took out a magical weapon that was shining with a faint light from his sleeve. It was a treasure in the shape of a tortoise shell with mysterious patterns flowing on it, as if it contained endless defensive power.

Kunpeng gave this magic weapon to the Scorpion Spirit and said:

"Among all the aquatic creatures in the world, the one most famous for its defensive power is none other than the Black Turtle Clan of the North Sea."

"This treasure is made from a piece of tortoise shell from the North Sea Black Turtle, and is called the Black Turtle Shield."

"Please keep it safe. It can protect you at the critical moment."

This is the ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Gifted by the elders, dare not to give up.

The Scorpion Demon naturally took the magic weapon with both hands respectfully.

At this point, the apprenticeship ceremony is almost over.

Next is the grand apprenticeship banquet.

Kunpeng accepting a disciple is undoubtedly a grand celebration and a great event for the Demon Master Palace.

Inside the Demon Master's Palace, various colored lanterns were hung high, colorful ribbons were fluttering, and the air was filled with a festive atmosphere. Every corner was decorated exquisitely.

At the main table, Kunpeng, Liyu, Yingyu, Hujiao, Zhe, Feiyi... a group of ancient demon gods were sitting around.

With the presence of the happy fish, the carp, their table was naturally happy.

Besides, no one doesn't like happiness.

The fish always livens up the atmosphere, making everyone at the table immersed in laughter and joy. He is known as the "atmosphere master" of the Demon Master Palace. Even Kunpeng, who usually keeps a straight face, is infected by the fish's joy and actually plays a dice game with him.

"Boss Kunpeng, you really cheated this time!"

The carp's eyes narrowed into a slit and he said with a smile.

Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, Demon King Peng, King Jinjiao, King Chidu and several other juniors sat at the same table, exchanging their cultivation experiences. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

In the squares inside and outside the Demon Master Palace, the demon soldiers and generals were arranged in order, with tens of thousands of tables densely packed together. They were drinking, singing and dancing, and the sounds of celebration were heard one after another.

The entire Demon Master Palace was filled with laughter and a festive atmosphere.

present.

At this moment, the monsters were dancing wildly and the sounds of celebration were heard one after another.

Occasionally, a demon general would mention the old stories of the ancient demon court, which would make people feel deeply moved and sigh.

……

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the monsters dispersed and returned to their own caves or posts.

Inside the sleeping hall.

He Sanniang and Xiao Chen had just returned and were sitting opposite each other.

He Sanniang has been with Xiao Chen for a long time, so she naturally knows her husband's character and that he likes all kinds of magic weapons.

Before Xiao Chen could speak, He Sanniang took the initiative to hand him the Black Turtle Shield and said with a smile:

"My dear, let me show you this magic weapon."

"okay."

My wife's things are my own things, so there is no need to be polite.

Xiao Chen happily took the black tortoise shield and looked at it carefully.

This is a red and black tortoise shell with a unique Kunpeng-shaped mark condensed on it.

Not long after.

After coming into contact with the black tortoise shell for a dozen breaths, a familiar prompt sound came in Xiao Chen's mind.

Several lines of large golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Host, you have touched the B-level disposable defensive magic weapon 'Black Turtle Shield'."

"This treasure is made from the tortoise shell on the back of the North Sea Black Turtle that repaired the sky. It is extremely hard and has unparalleled defense. It is also bound with the 'Kunpeng Seal' and has the ability to automatically protect its master."

"After receiving a severe blow, it will be automatically triggered to protect your mind."

"At the same time, resist the full force attack of the Golden Immortal."

"Scan and copy?"

Xiao Chen understood after seeing this information.

This is a great tool for immunity to control and active defense.

It’s just like the “famous sword” in a game in the previous life that is immune to fatal blows and can save one’s life at the critical moment.

The origin of the Black Turtle Shield is that it was made from the shell of the Black Turtle that repaired the sky.

The four legs of this black turtle were used to support the sky, and the shell on its back was apparently not wasted either, probably divided up by several big guys.

This black turtle is also a prehistoric species, and can be called "the number one turtle in the prehistoric times". One can imagine how hard its shell is.

Coupled with the refining of the Kunpeng Seal, the power of this magic weapon has reached an astonishing level. It can block the full-strength attack of the Daluo Golden Immortal. It is truly a good magic weapon!
"Scan and copy!"

"Integrate the black tortoise shield into the ribs on the back."

Xiao Chen gave the order without hesitation. He wanted to merge this magic weapon with himself and make it a part of his body.

Add a turtle shell to your toad back!

As Xiao Chen's order came down, the familiar prompt sound in his mind sounded again:

"The 'Black Turtle Shield' has been completed by fusing it with the ribs on its back."

"At the same time, the host's cultivation level increases by 500 years."

At this moment, a warm current flowed through his back ribs like a trickle, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. Xiao Chen could clearly feel that some wonderful changes were taking place in his back ribs.

He didn't care about the five hundred years of cultivation. In the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the simple accumulation of cultivation was no longer a decisive factor.

The Golden Immortal of Great Luo relies heavily on bloodline and feet.

The Golden Immortal of Great Luo needs to cultivate the three flowers on the top of the head, and also needs some special opportunities, understanding of the Tao, and even the merits of heaven and earth.

Yang Jian has first-rate talent and has been practicing for quite a long time. He has participated in countless battles and encountered various opportunities.

As the first of the three generations of Taoism and the nephew of the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian has almost all the resources of Taoism and Heaven at his disposal. However, Yang Jian is still trapped in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal and cannot break through to the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Now you know how difficult it is to reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

However, this black tortoise shield is indeed a good treasure.

With the black tortoise shield behind him that is strong enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a Golden Immortal, King Jinjiao no longer has to worry about anyone stabbing him in the back.

In other words, he, the King of Golden Horn, also has a turtle shell.

"Sanniang, this is a magic weapon that can save your life. You must keep it well."

After Xiao Chen completed the copying, he handed the Black Turtle Shield to He Sanniang.

Kunpeng obviously knew some of the weaknesses of the Eternal Poison Scorpion, and the black tortoise shield he gave was very suitable for the Scorpion Demon.

This black tortoise shield can protect the Scorpion Demon's mind when she is attacked, and that is enough.

What's more, this black tortoise shield can withstand the full force attack of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. It is really a good magic weapon for self-defense.

However, when Xiao Chen handed the Black Turtle Shield to He Sanniang, she shook her head firmly, her tone full of sincerity and concern:

"My dear, take it."

"I am learning skills under the Demon Master Palace, so I don't need this thing."

"And you, my dear, are out there fighting. If you are in danger, this black tortoise shield can protect you."

Xiao Chen felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but then his face turned stern again and he said softly:

"I told you to keep it, so keep it!"

"Don't tell me what to do!"

As Xiao Chen spoke, he slapped He Sanniang's butt hard with his big hand, signaling her not to refuse anymore.

Alas, they are an old couple, and this shot just won’t work.

How could the Scorpion Demon let him go?

Eyes facing each other.

"Lang Jun."

He Sanniang called softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

At the same time, her soft and fragrant body had gently leaned towards Xiao Chen, her eyes flashing with endless tenderness and expectation.

After all, this is in the Demon Master Palace, and it is not suitable for doing some intimate actions.

However, Xiao Chen always has his own room, so he is not restricted by location and it is very convenient for him to do things.

Xiao Chen opened his unique toad mouth, and a suction force suddenly appeared, swallowing He Sanniang's entire body into his "small world in his stomach".

After entering the small world, Xiao Chen conjured up a fairyland in the clouds, which was shrouded in mist and was extremely beautiful.

Then colorful petals appeared and danced in the air, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

The demon couple had a satisfying spiritual intercourse in this sea of ​​flowers.

Maybe he knew that he was about to part.

He Sanniang half-transformed into a demon body, showing her unique charm as a scorpion spirit, and conjured up a long scorpion tail and seven or eight hands.

The "scorpion tail entanglement" and "multi-handed magical power" were displayed to the fullest on her, and Xiao Chen benefited greatly from it.

The Scorpion Demon is brave and good at fighting. He fights side by side with Xiao Chen, exploring the depths of each other's souls together.

The feeling of the fusion of souls is naturally indescribable.

Every time their souls connect, they gain a deeper understanding and attachment to each other.

In particular, this Scorpion Spirit often changes her skin. After each change, her body will be refreshed, as if she is reborn.

This made Xiao Chen feel both surprised and helpless.

The surprising thing is that every time he changed his skin, it was as if he had a new Scorpion Spirit. From top to bottom, every part of the Scorpion Spirit was new.

Unfortunately, this also means that all his previous "efforts" have been in vain.

In front of him, the King of the Golden Horn, all the efforts were in vain!
He, the King of the Golden Horn, needs to redevelop this "new" Scorpion Spirit.

Oh, the little toad is so tired!
Scorpion venom is an aphrodisiac, and the devil of love and sex is even more charming.

A few days later.

The two demons took a rest.

After a few more days.

The morning bells and evening drums in the Demon Master's Palace are still melodious.

Xiao Chen did not stay in the Demon Master Palace either.

He originally had three purposes for this trip to Uttarakuru.

First, help the Lion King and take back the hill.

Second, find a good mentor for the Scorpion Spirit.

Third, develop power in Uttarakuru and prepare a retreat for yourself when the time comes.

Now that the first and second things have been done, he should naturally do the third thing.

This mountain top is like a piece of clothing. How can a demon walk outside naked?

Speaking of which, King Jinjiao doesn’t even have his own official territory in Uttarakuru.

It's time for King Golden Horn to go and conquer a mountain.
