From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

"can."

Resources such as Primal Spirit Crystals, Time Sand, and World Origin are among the commonly used trading items among powerful cultivators, used to measure the value of many precious items.

Among them, precious elixirs with huge consumption, such as the Creation Elixir and the Yin-Yang Qi Elixir, can also be used as traded items.

The demonic cultivation cave naturally produces natal demonic crystals.

A mere 30,000.

For Wang Yu, it was just a drop in the ocean, so he readily agreed.

After settling the matter, the Soul Demon Serpent Head gifted him a bottle of Primordial Demon Qi, which could be produced in any world of the Demon Realm.

The larger the world as a foundation, the more primordial demonic energy it produces, which possesses the characteristic of corrupting all things and is very similar to the characteristics of chaotic energy flow.

The chaotic energy flow decomposes all things, returning them to their primordial chaos.

The primordial demonic energy corrupted all things, causing them to become twisted and corrupted!

Wang Yu felt that this strange power originating from the Demon Realm was very similar to a derivative of the power of the Dao Fruit. Demon cultivators only truly embarked on this path when they began to control demonic energy at the Nascent Soul stage.

Demonic energy—true demonic energy—true demonic power—primordial demonic energy!
The magic power underwent qualitative changes and improvements time and time again!
It elevates the overall level of life, and then integrates the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, as well as the laws and the fruits of the Dao, like an endless stairway to heaven.

In Wang Yu's view.

The importance of Primordial Demonic Qi is not merely that it is an "identity card" for sneaking into the Demon Realm, but also that it is a guiding light for the further advancement of demonic power.

This trip is to the Origin Demon Realm.

Securing the cultivation resources for the final stage of the Mahayana journey is only the most basic goal; seeking out the Chenglu Taixu Realm through the Immortal Spirit Golden Talisman is far more important.

Thirdly, and most importantly.

It was through a glimpse of the [Primal Demonic Pattern Stele] that one could thoroughly perfect one's fundamental method, the "Myriad Transformations True Demon Scripture," and achieve the most important integration of one's multi-path cultivation, making them inseparable.

Instead of the current situation, where it's half and half.

It's in a bit of a limbo, neither good enough nor bad enough. Considering the reliability of the placement bar, the only thing to be careful about in order to solve this problem is time!
However, time waits for no one.

Wang Yu was not in a hurry for the Grand Assembly of the Origins of All Laws, nor was he worried about the great calamity at the end of the era. What he was always worried about was whether he could ascend to immortality before the new era began.

He always felt that this issue was crucial.

I can't quite put my finger on it.

He simply took it as a hint left to him by the sealed memories in the Niwan Palace, which was very much in line with his own style of doing things.

We are always prepared for the worst.

After finishing this matter, he left the Shattered Star Battlefield. The snakehead's smuggling route did not meet his expectations; he had come specifically to obtain some Primordial Demonic Qi.

……

And so, three months later.

The desolate frontier of the Primordial Demon Realm is the location Wang Yu calculated over half a month using the transformation of cause and effect. His goal remains to find the "big brother" Demon Vault.

After all, they were once the royal family of Tianjiao. They must have gained some foundation and power over the years. If he could get a piece of their thunder, it would be in line with Wang Yu's goal.

The outer universe, the void.

A violent fire rose from beneath Wang Yu's feet, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a powerful and muscular mantle covered in lava-like demonic patterns, his skin shining as brightly as magma.

The muscles were like obsidian, with clearly defined lines.

His long, crimson hair flew wildly, and a pair of curved horns grew from his forehead, extending backward along his head and finally piercing straight into the sky.

His crimson eyes radiated immense pressure.

at that time.

Then he took out the bottle of Primordial Demonic Qi and poured it over his head. This unique demonic Qi immediately merged into the lava demonic patterns all over his body, and there was actually no change in appearance.

But the feeling it evokes is completely different.

Just like the "antiques" from last week and the Shang and Zhou dynasties, discerning people can see the clues at a glance.

From this perspective, the snakehead is quite an important figure.

After confirming that he had no weaknesses, Wang Yu, who had transformed into a Flame Demon, unceremoniously displayed the demonic power of the late-stage eighth rank.

He plunged headlong into the outer cosmic barrier of the Primordial Demon Realm.

Immortal Realm, Star Realm, Demon Realm... Every realm is composed of countless worlds, some large and some small. Within a realm is the "Inner Universe Sea," and outside the realm is the "Outer Universe Sea."

The inner universe sea contains all sorts of strange void beasts, large and small.

Living beings are not too rare.

Occasionally, one might encounter powerful beings traversing the void, traveling through the inner universe sea, while the outer universe sea is a true void, with few living beings present.

thus.

After experiencing the feeling of being squeezed and kneaded by the boundary barrier, Wang Yu successfully blended into the inner universe sea of ​​the Origin Demon Realm.

They immediately chose the nearest Middle Thousand World.

I'm going to gather some information.

……

In the territory of the demons, the demons are cultivators from birth.

Moreover, they possessed a third-tier physical body from the start, and after cultivating the immortal path system, they also began to learn to refine qi, but they refined demonic qi.

This is something that only human demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage can undertake, and their strength is quite formidable.

at that time.

In the world of beasts, after easily searching the souls of a demon cultivator passing by in the sky, Wang Yu quickly became familiar with the local dialect and environment.

'The principle of cause and effect is indeed very useful.'

He never expected that he would be led directly to the territory of the Demon Cult, a world of wild beasts that had been occupied by a force called the Demon Horn Cult.

The person whose soul he searched was a fourth-tier low-level member of that faction.

Others might hesitate.

But Wang Yu could see at a glance what Moku was planning. As a member of the Tianjiao royal family who had been converted by Buddhism, he had returned to his senses.

It was discovered that the "Old Celestial Horn Family" had been overthrown by the new emperor "Blood Spirit".

They will definitely be unwilling to accept it.

Moreover, how long has it been since the Demon Lord returned? Only two hundred years. The Demon Horn Cult has already occupied many medium and small worlds, and even has a dilapidated Demon Emperor's palace as its main base.

Such a rapid rise means that the Demon Clan has found a supporter. It is either a Demon Emperor personally supporting them, or a Demon Emperor's power that has already weakened and is unwilling to let the Blood Spirit Demon Clan destroy their former "great situation".

The struggle has always been there.

However, the appearance of the Demon Treasury gave many demons an excuse to "set things right." Whether to use it or not, how to use it or use it later, they just needed to get their hands on the Demon Treasury first.

The existence of the Demon Horn Cult is currently still in a small-scale stage. The real chaos will begin when it begins to cause real harm to the Blood Spirit Demon Clan.

Wang Yu's arrival was perfectly timed.

After a moment's thought, Wang Yu left the Beast World and continued to deduce the other party's location based on the cause and effect between him and Moku, slowly searching for him.

……

Thus, a month later.

The Great World of Devouring Stars, the Imperial Palace of Devouring Stars!

Since returning to the Origin Demon Realm, Demon Ku restored himself to his peak condition and secretly gathered information for several years, eventually finding a secret vault belonging to the Heavenly Horn Royal Family.

He successfully obtained several Saint Pills from them, and with the power of these Saint Pills, he restored his original essence and even broke through to become a ninth-order demon in one go!

Among the demons, the "Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man" are called the "Crimson Tribulation of Life and Death."

The names may differ, but the process is the same.

All of them must go through five signs of decay at the end of life: wrinkled skin and lost teeth, foul-smelling blood and cloudy eyes, decaying organs and rotting bones, flesh riddled with worms, and deathly aura clinging to the body.

Having been reborn from the Five Signs of Decay, Moku's lifespan has greatly increased. Confident that he has inherited the fortune of the Heavenly Horn Royal Family, he believes he may have a chance to reach the pinnacle in this lifetime, and the position of Demon Emperor is not out of the question.

This Star Devouring Imperial Palace was left behind by a supreme demon emperor of the extinct Devouring God Demon Clan. When and where he fell is no longer clearly recorded.

Only the name of Devourer of Stars will be passed down through the ages.

Just as Moku was reminiscing, a subordinate suddenly came to the outside of the hall to report.

“Master, there is a man outside who claims to be the Vast Flame Demon. He says he is an old friend of yours and has come to seek refuge with you… Would you like to see him? If not, I will drive the Flame Demon away.”

"--etc!"

Moku quickly rushed out of the Imperial Palace. He believed that his trusted brother from the Flame Demon Clan was 90% likely to have been killed by the bald monk.

And that was then, and now is now.

I didn't suspect anything back then because my life was in someone else's hands. Now that I'm clear-headed and deeply mired in trouble, it's only natural to be cautious.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

A moment later.

Wang Yu walked in with teary eyes, and upon seeing Moku, he exclaimed.

"Big brother! It's me~"

Moku looked suspicious.

He waved his hand to dismiss those around him, leaving only the two of them to talk privately in the imperial palace.

“Brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that too much time has passed, and I’m in such a difficult situation and turmoil, so I really don’t dare to trust others easily. Let me first tell you how you survived.”

"Ugh……"

Wang Yu sighed deeply.

"Brother, do you still remember what I told you?"

"of course."

“That makes things easier. Since the Blood Spirit Demon Clan came to power, each race has had to send its most capable members to lie low in enemy races.”

Wang Yu had a compassionate and sympathetic look on his face.

"Actually, they deliberately made us send our clan's most talented members to our deaths. Even the Soul Demon Clan, with its superb infiltration skills, was forced to betray several clans."

"Moreover, even those of us from the Flame Demon Clan who are not skilled in transformation techniques have been assigned to be spies! The Blood Spirit Demon Clan doesn't do anything productive; they're afraid that what they've done will happen again. They're going all out to suppress the strength of our clan!"

Upon hearing this...

Moku frowned. He already knew the situation clearly. The facts were exactly as Wang Yu had said, and perhaps even a little less.

As far as he knows.

The Blood Spirit Royal Family dispatched members of the Power Demon Clan, Flame Demon Clan, and Winged Demon Clan, who were skilled in frontal charges on the battlefield, to serve as spies, specifically tasked with turning the prodigies of the opposing clans against them.

The races known for their intelligence and cunning, but whose physical bodies were weakened, such as the Xugu, Shengyan, Hunmo, and Fanxi, were relocated to various mines to perform hard labor.

Cut off these races' access to education.

All the prodigies who dared to rebel were sent to their deaths in the human territories where they had blood feuds. They were also secretly monitored by pseudo-demons, and if they encountered any kind-hearted cultivators who did not choose to slay the demons, they would be secretly killed.

This is treating the demons as enemies and messing with them.

Overall, during the reign of the Blood Spirit Royal Family, not only did the number of Demon Emperors plummet, but the strength of the entire race also declined significantly.

Moku was furious upon seeing this, but then overjoyed.

The more ruthlessly he is exploited, the easier it is for him to act. It doesn't matter if he doesn't have enough power of his own, as long as his bloodline is pure, the Demon Emperor will be willing to stand by his side and provide support.

Unfortunately.

What he failed to grasp was that the Demon Emperor was the Demon Emperor because he possessed this power, not because it was a title representing authority.

Even if he sees through it all, he won't refuse or stop.

after all.

The Puppet Demon Emperor is also the emperor of his race. In the vast Origin Demon Realm, how many trillions of beings kneel at his feet? Anyone would find it difficult to control such power.

Think for a moment.

Moku said, "You still haven't explained clearly, Brother Flame Demon... how exactly did you survive?"

"Sigh~" Wang Yu sighed deeply.

"It's all in the words. I am the sacrificed prodigy of the Flame Demon Clan. In recent years, I have had some fortuitous encounters and obtained the inheritance of the alien Phoenix Flame Immortal."

"There's more to this than that?"

Wang Yu nodded, and a wisp of Nirvana fire rose from his fingertips.

The strong aura of Dao Fruit within it greatly surprised Moku.

"Have you achieved Mahayana enlightenment?"

"No, this is the inherited Dao Fruit. The power I can mobilize at the moment is limited. If you don't believe me, I'll leave."

"Wait a minute."

Moku thought for a moment and then said.

“Repeat every word you said when you first met me. I will send someone to the Flame Demon Realm to verify your identity. If it matches, everything in my Demon Treasury is yours!”

This promise is of paramount importance.

But Wang Yu only wanted to come and get some resources. To cover up countless lies for one lie would only make things more and more complicated, so it was better to just give up.

Go and rob them directly; you'll get resources much faster that way.

Having mastered the Devouring Dao Fruit, Wang could extract the world's essence and refine it into resources he needed, even from small and medium-sized worlds that were incorporated into the Demon Realm.

The world at large is less certain.

After all, these are all Daoist sites formed by the manifestation of the grotto heavens of true immortals. If someone falls into a trap, no one can explain or clarify the situation.

Good things like exploring ancient realms are not something you can encounter all the time. Only those naturally formed great worlds are resources that cultivators can seize and explore.

Regardless of his true feelings, Wang Yu outwardly agreed and was subsequently assigned to use a top-quality volcanic crater as his dwelling.

After Wang Yu left.

Moku immediately dispatched people to the Flame Demon Realm to investigate Wang Yu's background. The Origin Demon Realm was too vast, and the Flame Demon Clan was naturally not just one branch.

However, all of these branches of the demon race have an ancestral realm.

In other words, it is the place of origin of the species. The ancestral realm is a world nurtured by heaven and earth and nature. It is basically at the level of the Great Thousand Worlds. It is not something that can be explored in a day or two.

It starts at least in years.

therefore.

Wang Yu was in no hurry at all and settled in under Moku's arrangement. He wanted the best of everything and lived like a starving ghost.

They were demanding either the Origin Magic Crystal or the Origin of the World. At first, Moku had to give in out of face, hoping that his subordinates' investigation would be completed quickly.

however.

Wang Yu's speed in refining and consuming resources was ridiculously fast. Even the resources he consumed right in front of the Demon Treasury were quickly digested. This expenditure of resources caused the faces of the Demon Horn Sect's higher-ups to gradually become distorted.

This day.

A late-stage Dao Integration Realm cultivator from the Demon Clan couldn't resist any longer and secretly visited the sect leader, Demon Treasury, to speak frankly.

"Master, that poor devil from the Flame Demon Clan is consuming far too many resources every day, three times your allotted amount! This can't go on!"

Moku: "..." (End of Chapter)
