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

A moment later.

The inner realm of the Flame Demon Realm is the sacred cultivation ground of the Flame Demon Clan. The entire world seems to be made of magma, with crimson magma rivers everywhere.

The Flame Demon Clan Chief stayed in the Realm Within a Realm for a long time to cultivate.

Waiting for the opportunity to break through the Nine Tribulations.

This is how cultivation in the Tribulation Transcending stage works. In fact, the Great Ascension Perfection is the limit of living beings, and is also called the pinnacle of the human realm by cultivators. The nine tribulations experienced in the Tribulation Transcending stage are all for the transformation of the Dao Fruit, and the impact on the laws of heaven and earth is greater with each tribulation.

It was truly a catastrophe followed by a reversal of fortune!

There haven't been many changes in the basic values.

At this time, the role of external objects in assisting in overcoming tribulation is amplified infinitely. Cultivators at this stage are basically searching everywhere for rare and spiritual objects that can help them overcome tribulation.

When a certain critical point is reached, the cultivator will sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao and realize that a calamity is approaching.

If not properly prepared, there is a high probability of death.

However, for those top races, it is not a problem to use the resources of their race's foundation to get through the first or second tribulation. This is also the root cause of the fact that these races have been able to maintain a large number of strong individuals.

This is an ordinary cultivator undergoing tribulation passively.

If one is a prodigy or genius, they will actively sense the aura of the Heavenly Dao and forcibly induce tribulation in order to achieve a rapid breakthrough.

People like the Flame Demon Clan Chief, who neither dare to actively invite tribulation nor possess a powerful treasure that can definitely help them break through the Nine Tribulations, can only rely on this Flame Demon Clan Holy Land and place their hopes on the legendary "Flame Demon Emperor".

Hopefully, the arrangements he left behind will be of some help to him.

That's why they stay within the innermost realm year-round, to prevent the Ninth Tribulation from suddenly descending.

When Wang Yu arrived at this inner realm with the Second Elder.

His first breath was filled with incredibly rich Flame Demon essence, which made him realize that the Realm Within a Realm was not only a sacred place for cultivation, but also a graveyard for the Flame Demon race to achieve enlightenment.

Perhaps when all the fire demons reach the end of their lifespan and die...

They all choose to come to the inner realm of the realm. Over time, this sacred place of cultivation has not only not disappeared, but has become even stronger due to the transformation of each and every Flame Demon.

It is especially suitable for the Flame Demon Clan to cultivate; simply staying inside and breathing in the essence of this place brings a slight improvement.

Wang Yu estimated that it would have an improvement effect of one-thousandth of the Lesser Thousand Origins. Such a quantity was extremely enviable to him. If he could devour it all, he would be very happy.

Once integrated into the "Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven," it would likely be able to forcibly elevate him to the Great Ascension Perfection realm, allowing him to directly attempt a tribulation-inducing breakthrough.

Reach the true pinnacle of humanity!
'A great clan is indeed a great clan; its foundation is something even the Nine Lineages of the Demonic Path lack. But why are there so few powerful individuals among them?'

Although he knew about the Blood Spirit Royal Family's tyrannical oppression, he didn't think it had come to this, considering the number of powerful members of the Flame Demon Clan that Wang Yu knew.

It has reached a very dangerous critical point.

If it continues to weaken, it may not even be able to protect the Flame Demon Realm.

soon.

Wang Yu learned the reason for this doubt from the Flame Demon Clan Chief.

"True Flame King, we finally meet. What are your thoughts on the Flame Demon Clan during this time?"

Wang Yu looked up at the clan chief sitting high on the throne.

There wasn't much respect in his eyes.

He bluntly stated, "We're just one step away from complete annihilation. It seems my appearance has indeed been a shot in the arm for the Flame Demon Clan."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder turned pale with shock.

He quickly reminded Wang Yu, "How can you speak nonsense in front of the clan leader!"

"It's alright, Zhenyan is telling the truth."

The Flame Demon Clan Chief rose from his throne and walked to Wang Yu, saying, "Your judgment is correct. So, regardless of your origins, since you have displayed the demeanor of an unparalleled genius, as long as you are of Flame Demon blood, nothing else matters."

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes: "Including the Flame Demon Emperor's Palace?"

The clan leader nodded: "Including the Flame Demon Emperor's Palace!"

The two looked at each other.

Then there was a moment of silence.

The Flame Demon Clan Chief spoke again: "The Flame Demon Clan and the Power Demon Clan have always been rivals. When the Blood Spirit Royal Family came to power, the two clans fought tooth and nail for military power, forging a blood feud!"

"Unfortunately, we both failed and the Blood Bone Clan succeeded in taking over. Since then, both of our clans have been severely suppressed. The Power Demon Clan even lost the Ancestral Realm, and the Blood Bone Clan even took away the Heaven-Supporting Sacred Mountain. It won't be long before the Flame Demon Clan suffers the same fate."

"Bloodbone Clan..."

As the name suggests, this is a bloodline demon race, under the direct rule of the Blood Spirit Royal Family, and represents the greatest crisis currently facing the Flame Demon Clan.

Wang Yu listened quietly without interrupting.

The Flame Demon Clan Chief continued speaking.

"Back then, because of the blood feud, when the Power Demon Clan faced suppression from the Blood Bone Clan, we chose to stand by and watch. This led to the Power Demon Clan being pushed down to the ranks of major clans and completely reduced to a second-rate race."

"Now it's my Flame Demon Clan's turn. If we don't resist, our race will perish. So not only are you important, but the Burning Silence Demon Emperor behind the Demon Horn Sect is also very important."

"The war has begun, but it has not yet reached the required intensity. The Bloodbone Clan will definitely take the opportunity to send our clan to the front line. If we are facing you, that will be fine... but if we are facing other demon armies, our clan's strength will be weakened again, and the Flame Demon Realm will not be able to be protected."

War is both a danger and an opportunity.

The Flame Demon Clan has reached the edge of a precipice. If a few more Flame Demons who have undergone tribulation fall, the Blood Bone Clan will find it increasingly difficult to resist their forceful plundering.

The outcome is self-evident.

After listening, Wang Yu pondered silently for a long time.

"Does the clan leader intend for me to break through the tribulation in the Flame Demon Emperor's Palace and then return to the sect to lie low?"

"That's about right. Do what you can, and just do your best."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This tone clearly indicates that they did not place all their hopes on him. After all, he is the head of a clan, and the sudden appearance of the True Flame King was just an accident.

Even without him, the Flame Demon Clan Chief should have prepared other backup plans and strategies. Wang Yu is currently only at the eighth level of the Mahayana stage, still a long way from the ninth level.

Furthermore, he trusted the True Immortal Tai Xuan Yin Guo even more.

Once you break through the tribulation, you will definitely return to the True Spirit Realm and go to the Heavenly Dao Platform to break through, not in this Flame Demon Emperor Palace.

There's just too much uncertainty!

"I will do my best, of course, but I am still far from the Great Ascension Perfection. I also have no experience or insights into breaking through tribulations. Clan leader, please don't place too much hope on me."

"--I see."

That's about enough.

Only the Second Elder of the Flame Demon Sect was somewhat bewildered. In his mind, since the clan leader had chosen to make contact with the Demon Horn Sect, he would most likely rebel later.

He had to fight for a chance to survive, otherwise he would be completely devoured by the Bloodbone Clan. In his eyes, he didn't even have the right to be a "fence-sitter".

It's not appropriate to say much now, but we can discuss it when we convene the elders for a meeting later.

at that time.

The Flame Demon Clan Chief took out three items and handed them to Wang Yu, explaining in turn: "This token is the key to entering and exiting the Flame Demon Imperial Palace. Remember that you must pass a test before you can leave, otherwise you will lose your qualification to enter the Imperial Palace."

"Therefore, each level requires careful consideration. If you encounter a level you are unsure of, do not rush into it. First, research the information, or consult me ​​or other elders. The opportunities within the Flame Demon Imperial Palace are crucial for every Flame Demon, changing their entire life; therefore, you must not be careless."

"--clear!"

"Then the second item is the Flame Demon Ancestral Symbol, which is bound to the Chaos Foundation Stone of the Realm Within a Realm. As long as you are within the Demon Realm, you can use this symbol to teleport back at any time."

"Its ability to break through spatial barriers is so strong that even the Demon Emperor would be caught off guard and unable to stop it in time. It is meant to save your life."

Wang Yu grinned as he accepted it. This kind of good thing was equivalent to the Time Talisman given by Zhulong. If used properly, it could save his life. It was just that his identity was somewhat restricted, but it wasn't a big problem.

Then came the third and final item.

It was a spear-type weapon, very suitable for the use of powerful demons, and its grade was as high as a semi-immortal treasure, which surprised Wang Yu.

After all, giving away a Nine Tribulations Demonic Artifact is already quite generous.

He never expected that the Flame Demon Clan Chief would bestow upon him a semi-immortal treasure. This level of generosity made his "carefree heart" feel somewhat uneasy.

After thinking it over, he accepted. At worst, he could treat the Flame Demon Clan better. Although the positions of humans and demons are opposite, he is a demon cultivator, and his roots and path lie in the Demon Realm.

I'll definitely continue to roam the Demon Realm in the future.

It's perfectly normal to have a race with whom you have a good relationship. As long as you don't violate any principles, it's a well-worn topic for demonic cultivators to secretly collude with hostile alien races.

In the vast Immortal Palace, the earliest conflict between the righteous and the demonic factions, besides their opposing ideologies, stemmed from their vastly different attitudes toward foreign races.

We'll discuss that later.

"This third semi-immortal treasure is called the [Flame Demon Fire Spear]. It is a precious treasure that a Flame Demon Ancestor at the peak of the Ninth Tribulation nurtured and refined throughout his life. It must be refined with his own Flame Demon essence blood."

"I will give it to you today. In the future, when you travel, my clan will sever ties with you under the pretext of stealing a valuable treasure. Use it well."

"Zhenyan understands!"

Only then did Wang Yu begin to consider himself a junior.

He happily accepted the Flame Demon Fire-Tipped Spear, casually twirled it, and then turned back to refine and control it.

This made the Second Elder quite envious.

After all, only the First Ancestor of the Flame Demon Clan reached the Demon Emperor realm, and they hadn't even nurtured their racial Dao Fruit. In other words, any genius with a bit of ambition would rarely bother to condense such a weak racial Dao Fruit unless it was something they happened to do.

He devoted himself to arduous cultivation specifically to condensing the Dao Fruit of his race.

There's really no need for that.

In Wang Yu's eyes, the average bloodline level of these great demon clans was only at the level of ferocious beasts, with only the most outstanding geniuses reaching the level of true spirits.

While seemingly inferior to true spirits, they actually excel in their reproductive ability, always giving birth to a massive number of powerful beings through the baptism of blood and fire.

Some geniuses can only dazzle in the small or medium-sized world; in the grand scheme of things, they are just average.

The prodigies of this vast world have a broad vision of the entire race.

It's only at a slightly above-average level. If you look at all the countless creatures in the universe, even with such exceptional talent, it's just average.

The scale and breadth of the cosmic ocean are too vast, and its boundaries have not yet been explored. Countless unknown worlds await discovery in the endless starry sky.

With a large population base, even rarer geniuses become rarer.

It will also become ordinary; these are all normal phenomena.

…………

This matter is settled.

Wang Yu returned to the Scripture Pavilion and used it as his cave dwelling. While keeping track of the latest news from the Demon Realm, he spent thirty days refining the Flame Demon Fire-Tipped Spear.

There is a difference between magic treasures and spirit treasures.

One of the most distinctive features is that magical artifacts are spiritless. Once they possess a spirit, they are demonic spirits. Devouring their master is a fundamental characteristic of demonic spirits, and each one possesses immense power.

therefore.

One of the key factors in determining the power of a high-end magical artifact is whether it possesses a magical spirit. Among semi-immortal artifacts, the Flame Demon Fire-Tipped Spear is likely the lowest tier.

It's not as good as the Five Elements Spear or the Small Blood Refining Cauldron.

It's not even as good as the incomplete Heavenly Secret Jade Disc, only slightly better in terms of attack, and almost completely inferior in terms of functionality.

"Fire-tipped spear... and if you get a pair of Wind-Fire Wheels, you can pretend to be Nezha."

After muttering a curse to himself, Wang Yu emerged from seclusion once more.

This time, he directly asked the Second Elder to take him to the Flame Demon Emperor Palace. If there were an opportunity to quickly improve his cultivation there, he wouldn't be foolish enough to refine the world's origin and cultivate in arduous ways.

The grand assembly of all laws and their origins is approaching, and a great eon is about to begin.

He is still far from becoming an immortal and must intensify his cultivation. Wang Yu has set a timeframe of three hundred years for himself.

He is now over a thousand years old, and his goal is to become an immortal before he turns fourteen hundred.

If it succeeds, it will surely break the history of the cultivation world.

His name, Wang Zhenxian, could be heard throughout the entire universe. While his peers were still struggling to reach the Nascent Soul stage, he was on the verge of becoming an immortal. Such rapid cultivation was unparalleled in the entire history of cultivation.

of course.

Except for those born divine outcasts.

After about half a cup of tea's time.

Wang Yu was taken by the Second Elder to the central area of ​​the Realm Within a Realm, where there was a sea of ​​magma, filled with magma blood formed from the essence of the Flame Demon, containing extremely high energy.

The entrance to the Flame Demon Emperor's Palace is right here.

Besides Wang Yu, there were more than ten other Flame Demon prodigies cultivating here, but their cultivation levels were all too low, generally at the Refinement stage, with those at the Dao Integration stage being the best.

When the renowned True Flame King arrived.

All the Flame Demons behaved extremely docilely and showed varying degrees of admiration for Wang Yu. The Imperial Palace's test was determined by the participants' cultivation level.

Each entry is a separate level space.

Therefore, there is no order of precedence; it's just that the higher one's cultivation level, the greater the benefits one receives upon entering this place. It is also said to be related to one's bloodline level.

Upon his arrival, Wang Yu exchanged pleasantries with the Flame Demons.

After explaining a few things to the Second Elder, he didn't delay any longer and immediately sank into the sea of ​​lava to activate the Flame Demon Token's permissions.

In an instant, the world turned upside down.

The body passes through an invisible membrane and enters a separate, different dimension.

After Wang Yu regained his footing, he looked around.

Upon discovering that the information provided by the Flame Demon Clan did not quite match the first challenge, he did not proceed to the first challenge of "slaying the Nine-Headed Flame Demon Serpent," but instead went directly to the fifth challenge.

—Discussing the Dao with the branded mark of the Flame Demon Emperor!

In a pure white space, the legendary Flame Demon Emperor sat under a willow tree, with a chessboard placed on a stone platform in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yu's eyes showed surprise.

Go is a product invented by humans. In the era when the Flame Demon Ancestor was active, humans probably had not yet produced any true powerhouses; they were just one of the ordinary beings in the cosmic sea.

It's somewhat surprising that the human race's Go game at this time could gain the favor of a Demon Emperor. (End of Chapter)
