I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 459 Bewitched
With his fighting spirit and demonic nature suppressed, the First Evil Emperor was startled.

Such powerful cultivation!
This person not only possesses astonishing skill, but also incredible mental power. I fear his cultivation level is far above mine.

Thinking of this, a look of amazement flashed in the eyes of the First Evil Emperor, and then he placed a black piece.

"You wouldn't come to my temple without a reason. Tell me, what brings you here?"

"To learn a skill".

As Ying Xun spoke, he placed a white piece: "Besides learning skills, there is something else I need your help with. But before that, I need to give you a secret from three hundred years ago so that you can understand the whole story."

"All ears."

The First Evil Emperor replied, picking up a chess piece, but not placing it down immediately.

"Three hundred years ago, there was a Buddhist monk named Wu Hui. Because his master did not pass on his mantle to him before his death, he killed all his fellow disciples in a fit of rage and stirred up a bloody storm in the martial arts world."

The First Evil Emperor smiled as he placed his piece: "This monk is quite suitable for cultivating my demonic blade."

Ying Xun smiled at this, placed a piece, and continued, "Wu Hui was thus hunted down by the Buddhist sect. Although his martial arts were high, he was ultimately no match for the Buddhist sect, which had a deep foundation. He was hunted down with nowhere to go, but by chance, Wu Hui accidentally entered the Nine Void Boundless Realm."

"Nine Void Boundless?"

"Nine Void Boundless Realm is a unique and mysterious grotto-heaven. In this realm, the sky is empty, the earth is empty, people are empty, gods are empty, Buddhas are empty, the sun is empty, the moon is empty, the stars are empty, and time is empty. It is endless and boundless, hence the name Nine Void Boundless Realm."

Ying Xun gave a brief explanation and continued the previous topic: "At that time, the Buddhist monks thought that Wu Hui was bound to die in the Nine Void Boundless Realm, but unexpectedly, half a year later, Wu Hui not only came out of the Nine Void Boundless Realm, but also brought out a murderous blade that stirred up a bloody storm - the King of Calamity."

Wu Hui then proclaimed himself the Blood Ancestor, wielding the King of Calamity, and slaughtered his way through the Central Plains, leaving rivers of blood flowing. The Buddhist community suffered the most, with countless deaths and injuries. Finally, a group of martial arts figures asked Yun Dingtian, who was known as "the reincarnation of Guan Yu," to come out of seclusion and deal with Wu Hui.

Yun Dingtian, possessing unparalleled cultivation and wielding the renowned divine blade, the Wrathful Evil-Slaying Blade, engaged in a fierce and brutal battle with Wu Hui. Ultimately, Yun Dingtian, through his extraordinary abilities, achieved a pyrrhic victory.

The First Evil Emperor placed his piece and said calmly, "A cliché story."

"It is indeed a cliché story, but the story is far from over."

"Oh?"

"When Yun Dingtian eliminated Wu Hui, his family of thirty-six people contracted the plague and eventually all died. Yun Dingtian was heartbroken and confronted Jie Wang and Nu Bixie head-on to see if there was a righteous path in the world."

"How do you ask?"

You Ruo asked this question, but the one who answered her was not Ying Xun, but the First Evil Emperor.

"If the King of Anger and Evil-Slaying Destruction is the one who proves that there is still a righteous path in the human world, then the righteous path will not exist, and the Cloud Peak Heaven will surely fall into the demonic path."

Ying Xun nodded: "That's right. Nu Bixie was shattered by Jie Wang, and some fragments flew and embedded themselves on Jie Wang, thus forming an extremely fierce and evil demonic blade - Da Xie Wang."

Therefore, in Yun Dingtian's view, the so-called good deeds being rewarded is nothing but a deceptive trick. Since good people don't get rewarded, it's better to become a demon; even if one dies, at least one will have achieved swift and satisfying revenge.

Upon hearing this, the First Evil Emperor couldn't help but shake his head, becoming somewhat interested in the rest of the story.

"and after?"

"The story that followed was like a cycle. Yun Dingtian was already inclined to the demonic path, and with the influence of the Great Evil King, she eventually became completely demonic, wielding the Great Evil King to slaughter all living beings. Then, a peerless swordswoman named Wu Wuer appeared out of nowhere and fought Yun Dingtian for ten days and ten nights. Although she created a strange move in the battle and defeated Yun Dingtian, she herself died from exhaustion."

Ying Xun took a breath and continued, "Although Yun Dingtian was defeated, he was still alive and at the height of his arrogance when thunder roared, as if to annihilate evil with lightning. Unwilling to die under the will of heaven, he used the Great Evil King to commit suicide. Before his death, he uttered a final curse, annihilating all Buddhist teachings in the world and causing the Wu family to be mediocre for generations. Later, the Buddhist sect took away the Great Evil King and sealed him in the Bitter Heart Buddha in Wanjie Valley, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist prayers day and night to suppress the Great Evil King with the power of Buddhism."

"Fate is the most cruel of all!"

After hearing the whole story, the First Evil Emperor couldn't help but sigh softly. A trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes before he changed the subject: "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Wait, I haven't finished yet."

Ying Xun smiled slightly and placed a white piece.

As the two continued their conversation, they kept making moves, and now the white pieces on the board have the potential to turn the tide and win.

"Three hundred years later, a man wanted to collect all the martial arts in the world, and among the Great Evil Kings was a martial art called 'Ten Tribulations of the Evil King'. Although he obtained the Great Evil King, the Great Evil King had been suppressed by Buddhism for three hundred years, and it was not an easy thing to awaken him."

The best way is to gather the four evil weapons and wait until the "Four Deadly Periods" decades later, then awaken the Great Evil King with a grand scheme of "divine weapons locking down the four directions, challenging the evil within evil."

As he spoke, Ying Xun sighed.

"But unfortunately, that person couldn't wait that long, nor did he have the mind to collect the four peerless evil weapons. So he wanted to use the terrain and people who were even more evil than the evil weapons to fully awaken the Great Evil King."

After hearing this, the First Evil Emperor understood.

"So that person is you, the fear of panic—Ying Xun, and the terrain and the person who is more evil than the evil soldiers are this place and me."

Ying Xun made his move, clapped his hands, and laughed loudly.

"Congratulations, you got it."

The First Evil Emperor stopped making moves and pondered for a while before speaking, "Then, Great Evil King, may I have a look?"

"of course."

With a flick of his sleeve, Ying Xun conjured a sword case that appeared beside him.

"This...this is...what kind of martial art is this?!"

Wen Chou Chou was utterly shocked, and even stammered as he spoke.

In fact, not only him, but also Qiu Jin and Lian Xiang, and even the well-informed First Evil Emperor were equally shocked.

Looking at them, You Ruo smiled proudly and said, "This is a Taoist technique called 'Universe in the Sleeve,' and I have recently gained some understanding of it."

The second half of the sentence is clearly boasting.

But apart from Ying Xun, no one else knew this.

So Wen Chou Chou, Lian Xiang, and Qiu Jin began to praise him directly.

The First Evil Emperor didn't say anything, but he glanced at You Ruo and took the sword box into his hand.

His withered hand gently stroked the sword case, and a buzzing sound immediately emanated from within, as if the great evil king inside had come to life.

At the same time, a faint mist of blood was seeping out from the gaps in the scabbard.

The blood mist was filled with a stirring murderous intent and an overwhelming ferocity.

Unfortunately, it had no effect on Ying Xun or the First Evil Emperor.

However, a hint of bloodlust appeared in You Ruo and the others' eyes, but they quickly regained their clarity.

After causing a ruckus in the sword box for a while, the evil king gradually quieted down, but the Buddhist scriptures carved on the sword box became increasingly dim.

"Unfortunately, it seems that I, the First Evil Emperor, am not evil enough to awaken this Great Evil King."

The First Evil Emperor shook his head and casually tossed the sword box back to Ying Xun.

Ying Xun took the sword case, shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, I still have a backup plan."

"Oh?"

As Ying Xun's hands moved swiftly, a drop of blood floated on his palm.

"Roar!" The crowd of blood seemed to roar like a ferocious beast, and a violent and fierce aura surged out in all directions like a tidal wave.

That violent and ferocious aura left even the First Evil Emperor speechless.

"This is……"

Driven by the ferocious aura emanating from the blood, the First Evil Emperor's eyes blazed red, his demonic intent surged uncontrollably, and he trembled involuntarily.

"The essence of Qilin blood and Nie family mad blood."

This blood was extracted by Ying Xun when he was in Lingyun Cave, after he neutralized Nie Feng's ancestral mad blood. He originally intended to use it for research, but he never expected it to be used in this place.

"It can help you increase your strength to the point of becoming the most powerful demon. With the evil energy here, I don't believe I can't awaken this broken sword."

The First Evil Emperor crossed his arms, gripping his shoulders tightly. His body trembled more violently, the red light in his eyes grew stronger, and he exuded a monstrous demonic aura. Speaking became extremely difficult, and he could only utter one word at a time.

"Take it away, take it away... I can't control myself... Go quickly..."

"You Ruo, you all go out first."

"Then be careful."

After giving a word of advice, You Ruo led Wen Chou Chou, Qiu Jin, and Lian Xiang out of the cave without any hesitation.

"No need to control it. You'll fall into demonic possession today whether you want to or not. But don't worry, I'll help you elevate your demonic nature to another level, allowing you to control your demonic heart and nature, and reach the realm of 'all things follow the heart, and the demonic heart is used for one's own purposes'."

After saying this, Ying Xun flicked his finger and shot the Qilin blood into the First Evil Emperor's brow.

boom!
The next second, an overwhelming demonic intent, killing intent, and ferocity erupted, shaking the entire grotto.

It should be noted that the First Evil Emperor was originally a leader of the demonic path. Now that his demonic intent has been fully unleashed, coupled with the power of the Qilin blood, the two complement each other, and the resulting demonic intent is truly earth-shattering.

"die!"

The last vestige of clarity faded from the First Evil Emperor's eyes, and his face, originally divided into black and white, was completely dominated by black, his entire face as black as ink, and he appeared completely insane.

With a deafening roar, surging demonic energy burst forth from his body, materializing into a demonic blade that cleaved towards Ying Xun with earth-shattering force.

This is the first move of the Demon Blade – Demonic Energy Unleashed!
The demonic energy emanating from his body, accompanied by an invincible sword strike, attacked the enemy.

Boom!

The demonic blade struck the wall of true energy that Ying Xun had condensed, causing the area around him to shatter and collapse instantly.

At the same time, a hideous knife mark appeared in the cave, with wisps of demonic energy drifting like smoke on it.

Before the first strike could hit, the First Evil Emperor had already swept his blade across the room.

The demonic blade in his hand, formed from condensed demonic energy, whipped up a powerful gale, with billowing black mist, like a demon roaming the land, annihilating all life wherever it passed.

This is the second move of the Demon Blade – Demonic Path Unbridled!
At this moment, Ying Xun already had his sword in hand, but just as he was about to swing it to deal with the situation, he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"System, what's going on? I feel like there's something wrong with this sword."

[Host, it's not that the sword is wrong, it's that you and the sword are incompatible.]

"What do you mean?"

[Because of your past experiences, the sword this system gave you has evolved into the Imperial Sword. However, your current martial arts skills are all-encompassing and have not been fully integrated into your body, so naturally they are not a match for the sword.]

"Then what can be done?"

While dodging the First Evil Emperor's attacks, Ying Xun communicated silently with the system.

Multitasking was a skill he learned in the White Horse World.

[There are two solutions. One is to accelerate your collection of martial arts techniques from across the land, fully unlock the middle section of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Scripture, and fuse all martial arts into one. The second is to reforge a sword that is both righteous and evil. You currently possess the Great Evil King and the Divine Stone; if you can fuse them together, they will match your current aura. If you can collect more materials, such as the Heavenly Fate Blade and the Ice Soul, you can even forge a divine weapon to suppress the destiny of the Divine Land. Although you cannot take it with you, this system recommends that you choose the latter.]

"reason?"

Having come into this world, shouldn't we leave something behind? Is that reason enough?

"It's enough, but what if I say it's not enough?"

[If that's not enough, this system will give you another one. Fully unlocking the middle section of the Heaven and Earth Furnace Scripture requires a large number of profound martial arts techniques, and even if you live a hundred years, you may not be able to collect that many.]

"You mean I can only live for a hundred years?"

【good. 】

"That can't be right. Even if I didn't have divine treasures like Dragon Essence and Phoenix Blood, with my current cultivation level, I should have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, right?"

[Host, you have been bathed in dragon and phoenix blood, but dragon and phoenix are not always auspicious, so you only have a lifespan of one hundred years. However, since the blood of dragons and phoenixes is divine, it can be preserved for you.]

Ying Xun was a little confused: "I've been bathed in the blood of dragons and phoenixes, how come I didn't know?"

[Please explore this yourself, host.]

"Can't you just tell me directly?"

The system remained silent and pretended to be dead again. The key was that Ying Xun couldn't do anything about it and could only focus his attention on fighting the First Evil Emperor.

At this moment, the First Evil Emperor had already used the eighth move of the Demon Blade - Chaotic Dance of Demons.

The sword's momentum grew increasingly powerful, like a tidal wave, with sword light flying everywhere, transforming into hundreds of black sword energies. Each sword energy, halfway through its journey, would transform into a First Evil Emperor wielding a demonic sword, slashing and killing with different moves.

In an instant, layer upon layer, filling the sky and the earth, were the First Evil Emperor and the First Demon Blade.

Ying Xun let out a long roar, the roar containing endless sword intent and sword energy, stirring up a storm of waves, causing ripples to spread through the void, shattering thousands of demonic shadows and dissipating demonic energy.

The chaotic dance of demons was broken. The First Evil Emperor showed no expression, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed entirely on the demonic blade formed from demonic energy.

The originally black blade began to glow with a bloody light, looking extremely sinister.

Ying Xun could sense that the aura of this strike was almost at the peak of the First Evil Emperor. It could be said that anyone who was not on the Shock Ranking would be torn into countless pieces by this strike.

This strike was the ninth move of the Demon Blade – the Blade of Bloodshed.

This is a move that harms both the user and the attacker, using the knife to injure oneself, each strike a hellish experience, enhancing demonic power, and then using that demonic power to attack the enemy until death.

The blade slashed down, as if opening the gates of hell, and a tremendous suction force seemed to pull people into hell.

"The First Evil Emperor, the Number One Blade in the World, you have indeed not disappointed me. However, I cannot let you continue to perform. Come, let me help you complete the Demon Heart Crossing and make the Demon Heart your own."

Ying Xun leaped into the air, his entire body like a sword, letting the suction pull him along, shooting into the wide-open hell like lightning.

The next moment, the gates of hell shattered, and he appeared before the First Evil Emperor, who was insane, as if he had crossed time and space.

He raised his arm, pointed his fingers like a sword, and touched the latter's forehead.

"If the heart is pure as ice, one will not be alarmed even if the sky collapses; amidst myriad changes, one remains calm and serene... By forgetting oneself and guarding the One, the six senses are greatly settled; the heart is guided by one's own thoughts, and even demonic desires are overcome..."
