I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 324 Chen Mo: I've Been Provided with a One-Stop Service

boom--

In the blink of an eye, the sharp light was upon them.

The black dragon snapped out of its daze, a hint of anger and disdain flashing in its golden eyes.

As a spirit of the artifact, it is part of this secret realm. Although it has no combat experience, it is like a god in this world!

His words carry the law of heaven, and his pronouncements are lawful.

No matter how strong Chen Mo was, he couldn't do anything to it!
"Hmph, a rebellious scoundrel like you actually managed to enter the world within the painting? It seems the Great Yuan royal family has truly fallen..."

"Today I'll teach you what it means to respect the elderly and honor the wise!"

The black dragon raised a sharp claw and gently touched the oncoming blazing meteor with its fingertip.

The howling wind suddenly stopped.

The whole world seemed to have been paused. Chen Mo's figure hovered in the air, still in the posture of drawing his gun, and even the aura around him was frozen at the moment of burning.

Then, by pinching two fingers together, he was flattened and turned into a human-shaped piece of paper!
"Tch, such a temper, I thought he was really strong, turns out he's just a show-off."

The black dragon spoke in human language, making a mocking remark.

With a mischievous grin, he rubbed his nose, sneezed, and blew the piece of paper hundreds of miles away.

Let alone a Grandmaster of the Dao Integration Realm, even a First-Rank Great Power would be helpless against it. This is the power to control the rules!
"After all, they are only two royal family members who have passed the test in the last hundred years, so it's not good to go too far..." Black Dragon stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "But don't even think about the inheritance. At most, I'll just give him some scraps as a token."

Having made up his mind, he reached out and made a move.

Chen Mo, compressed into a two-dimensional paper doll, flew back through the air, his pair of purple-gold eyes fixed on it, his cold gaze carrying a hint of mockery.

Black Dragon felt uncomfortable under his gaze and frowned, saying, "What, you're still not convinced?"

Chen Mo remained silent.

Just then, Black Dragon suddenly felt a chill down his back and looked up abruptly.

Where Chen Mo had just passed, a dark crack remained, as if a knife had torn a canvas, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

Within that void of darkness, a faint aura of deathly stillness emanated.

The next moment, a burst of blue light shot out, and countless blue particles formed a wave that surged toward it like a tidal wave!

This is the divine ability that Chen Mo comprehended on his own after breaking through to the Grandmaster level:
Guixu - The Tide Rises in the Azure Sea!

"Don't waste your energy, here I am an immortal being..."

The black dragon's voice came abruptly.

He slowly looked down, his狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face filled with disbelief.

The parts of its body that were touched by the blue light began to crumble and disintegrate, disappearing rapidly like quicksand in the wind!
In just a few breaths, one of the claws completely disappeared!

"This is not ordinary destruction, but a complete decomposition from its very root, reducing all tangible things to nothingness... Is this the origin of the Great Dao?!"

Black Dragon trembled violently and looked at Chen Mo in horror.

In this world within the painting, it is the ruler, and ordinary laws simply cannot apply.

The only explanation is that these azure dust particles originate from the source! They represent a power that transcends the rules, a power far greater than anything else!

Just as the black dragon was distracted, Chen Mo's eyes shone brightly. After breaking free from his restraints, his flat body inflated like an air balloon, quickly returning to its original shape. He shook the spear in his hand, and wisps of purple-gold dragon energy wrapped around it.

"A silver-plated spearhead?"

"Then let me show you just how tough my gun is!"

Chen Mo's murderous intent grew stronger, his eyes became bloodshot, and the tiger mark on his chest was burning hot!
He knew that this enormous creature was not easy to deal with, so he had prepared a backup plan from the beginning, which has now come in handy!

Since the dust can damage it, it means it has a health bar.

As long as there's a health bar, you can kill!

boom--

The crimson tide surged like a sea of ​​blood, soaring straight into the sky!

Chen Mo's hair ornament shattered, his black hair danced wildly, and his purple-gold spear pointed diagonally at the black dragon.

"Eight points remaining..."

"enough."

"die!"

Chen Mo flashed and suddenly appeared behind the black dragon.

The spear in his hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a colossal pillar reaching to the heavens and the earth. He raised it high with both hands, carrying an aura of destruction, and crashed down!
Ten thousand calamities, falling to heaven!

Black Dragon seemed not to have reacted yet, still standing there in a daze.

When the giant spear struck him, his massive body disintegrated, turning into black ink that merged into the dark clouds.

Suddenly losing its target, the spear missed its target and flew uncontrollably downwards.

Just as it was about to crash into the city, it collided with an invisible membrane in mid-air. The transparent barrier rippled, dissipating all the force.

"There's even an invisible wall, it really is a dungeon..."

Chen Mo looked around and sneered, "You think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding? If I'm not mistaken, you exist because of this secret realm. As long as this world is destroyed, you will also disappear along with it, right?"

With a wave of his hand, the spear flew back.

A purple-gold Tai Chi diagram appeared behind him, and his aura continued to rise, with raging flames distorting the space itself!

"Perfect, let's test my limits!"

"Wait, wait a minute..."

The voice of the black dragon echoed from the void.

A corner of the dark cloud parted, revealing a pair of golden eyes that looked at Chen Mo with slight fear. "Don't make a move yet, can we talk?"

?

"What's there to talk about?"

Chen Mo frowned and said, "You know I don't have much time, so you're trying to stall for time? Do you think this kind of trick will work on me?"

Black Dragon hurriedly explained, "The flow of time in this world of the painting is different from that in the outside world. Three days here are only equivalent to one day outside, so you don't have to worry about not having enough time."

"Different speeds of time flow?"

Chen Mo had already noticed this.

From the moment he entered, his Dao power recovery speed became very slow, only about 30% of what it was usually.

At first, I thought it was because the black dragon was suppressing me with a secret technique, but now it seems that the other party doesn't have that ability. It should be because the main body is still outside that this "error" is caused.

Chen Mo said in a deep voice, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that he didn't intend to make a move for the time being, the black dragon breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I want to know, why have you come here?"

Chen Mo said calmly, "You know the answer already. You've come here for the sake of the royal succession."

The black dragon asked, puzzled, "Then you could have just asked me for it, why did you hit me?"

?

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Isn't it only by defeating you that I can prove I'm qualified to receive the inheritance?"

"Who told you?"

"I guessed it myself."

"..."

Black Dragon's eyelids twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Before you make a move next time, could you please ask first... As long as you can enter this world within the painting, it means you have already gained recognition and don't need to undergo any so-called tests anymore."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

So that's what happened?
So this black dragon isn't the gatekeeper boss, but rather a money-scattering boy?

"Then why did you yell at me just now?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

"I'm from the same generation as the Chu family ancestors, after all. Although my attitude was indeed a bit poor, it doesn't deserve to die, does it?" The Black Dragon became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, rambling on and on: "Who comes in shouting for a fight as soon as they enter? And you really went for the kill!"

"The girl who came last time, although she had a bad temper too, wasn't like you..."

Chen Mo caught the information in the words and interrupted, "A girl? You mean Chu Yanli?"

"That seems to be her name. She was very talented and determined, but her personality was too stubborn." The black dragon shook his head and said, "Back then, there were clearly better inheritances available to her, but she refused them and chose a method that could lead to quick success, but at a greater cost..."

A realization dawned on Chen Mo.

It seems that Chu Yanli was here before.

No wonder she could unleash power comparable to a supreme being; besides the Heavenly Decree Seal, she must also have some secret techniques at her disposal.

Black Dragon sized up Chen Mo, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Although he was very unhappy about being pushed to this point, he had to admit that this kid was the most talented person he had ever seen in recent years, without exception.

"He looks to be in his early twenties, yet he's already a Grandmaster of the Dao Integration Realm, possessing two primordial auras, a purple-gold dragon aura, and incredibly pure martial arts baleful energy..."

"Even that person back then, at his age, couldn't have done this much, right?"

"After more than seven hundred years, the royal family has produced such a promising talent again. It seems that the Yuan Dynasty is truly about to rise again!"

Black Dragon sighed inwardly, then asked, "Little... cough cough, little brother, what's your name?"

"Chen Mo," Chen Mo replied.

"So it's Chen...wait a minute," Black Dragon picked at his ear, wondering if he had misheard, "you're not from the Chu family?"

"No." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Then how did you get in?" Black Dragon's throat tightened, and he asked with difficulty, "You're not a traitor, are you? Has the Great Yuan Dynasty already fallen?"

Traitor?

Sleeping with the Empress and then with the Imperial Concubine, doing whatever one pleases in the harem, is indeed almost tantamount to treason.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The Great Yuan Dynasty is not dead. I am a military officer in the court. I just happened to make a contribution and obtained the qualification to enter the third level of the Heavenly Martial Treasury."

The black dragon's vertical pupils gleamed. Although it didn't fully understand the situation outside, it still possessed basic judgment.

Aside from members of the royal family, it was almost impossible for officials outside the capital to enter the third level. Even if they made a great contribution and set a precedent, no one would appreciate this unremarkable painting.

This means that someone must have told him something beforehand.

"He has no royal blood, yet he can control dragon energy and enter the world within the painting."

"Could it be that……"

Black Dragon's sealed memories loosened, and he seemed to have thought of something, his expression becoming solemn.

"It doesn't matter. Whether you're a member of the Chu family or not makes no difference to me." The black dragon waved his hand, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing more than a dozen orbs of light of different colors. "Choose whichever inheritance you want."

Under normal circumstances, Black Dragon does not give the other party the right to make their own choice.

But this guy in front of me is a little different.

"Interfering with fate can have consequences, so let him make his own decision."

"Besides, this guy has a bad temper. If he's not satisfied with what he gets, he might start hitting you again..."

Chen Mo looked up but didn't rush to choose. Instead, he asked, "May I ask where you come from and what your relationship is with the Chu family?"

Having just exchanged blows, the black dragon was now much more patient and said, "I was born from this world and have no origin. If we calculate my age according to the timeline here, I am about two thousand years old."

"As for the relationship with the Chu family, it can be described as a cooperation. They provide me with the conditions for survival, while I am responsible for guarding the inheritance."

More than two thousand years?

The flow of time here is one-third that of the outside world, which means that this black dragon has existed since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

Chen Mo could sense that it was not just a wisp of consciousness, but a near-physical entity, and its extremely powerful dragon might was something that a mere artifact spirit could not possess.

But since the other party was unwilling to talk, there was nothing he could do.

You can't hit a smiling dragon, and since the black dragon is being so cooperative, it's not good to turn on it again.

"You've been here for so many years, don't you get bored?"

"It's alright. When no one comes in, I'm always asleep. I can sleep for decades at a time."

The black dragon scraped its scales with its sharp fingertips, as if it were scratching an itch, sparks flying as it said, "However, this world is in decline. It was originally about the size of the entire Central Continent, but now it has become about the size of the Heavenly Capital City. I estimate that in another hundred years, I will disappear along with this world in the painting."

It seemed indifferent, but Chen Mo could still read a hint of relief in its eyes.

Two thousand years of lifespan may seem long, but it's not as exciting as a few decades of life for an ordinary person.

Trapped in this corner of the world, immortality has become a torment.

Chen Mo shook his head, said nothing more, and flew to the front of those orbs of light.

Upon closer inspection, the light contained jade slips, ancient books, weapons, and even the scales, claws, and sharp teeth of some strange beast, emanating a completely different aura.

"You only have one chance to choose. Once you touch it, it's confirmed, and you can't change it," the black dragon reminded him.

"Only once?"

Chen Mo glanced at it.

Black Dragon shuddered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "These rules weren't set by me, but are the rules of this world itself. This applies to everyone who comes here. Once a choice is made, everything else will disappear on its own."

Seeing that it didn't seem to be lying, Chen Mo temporarily gave up the idea of ​​looting the equipment.

Since that's the case, we need to think about it carefully.

Because it cannot be touched, the system prompts cannot be triggered yet; one can only rely on visual observation.

Chen Mo strained his eyes, and the purple-gold light in his eyes shone brightly. With the blessing of the Golden Eye of Illusion, the things in front of him began to decompose rapidly, and everything returned to its most essential state.

"At present, the most useful thing for me is naturally the method of controlling dragon energy."

"In other words, the one that best matches the dragon's energy is the one that is suitable for me."

In the end, among those dozen or so items, he took a liking to the black scale that exuded a strong aura. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, his gaze swept over the black dragon beside him, and his movement suddenly stopped.

The enormous body gradually became transparent in his eyes, and a ball of red light burned like a raging flame in the middle of its torso.

At the same time, the dragon energy within his body seemed to sense this and suddenly became excited.

Facing those incredibly deep eyes, the black dragon felt a sudden pang of panic and instinctively backed away. "W-why are you looking at me like that?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you sure that's all? You're not secretly keeping some for yourself, are you?"

"What a joke, how could I..."

Before Heilong could finish speaking, Chen Mo picked up his spear and said calmly, "Will you hand it over voluntarily, or will I take it myself?"

"..."

Black Dragon's lips twitched.

Having lived for over two thousand years, this is the first time it has been forced into such a predicament.

This world is already incredibly weak; if the opponent were to exert all its strength, it might not be a match for it.

"Never mind, I didn't expect you to have such good eyesight."

The black dragon sighed, extended a sharp claw, and ripped open its chest.

The massive body was filled with inky black mist, and a huge heart was slowly pumping like a furnace, each beat producing a deafening sound, and the scorching heat could be felt from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, it pierced the outer wall of its heart with its fingertip, and a drop of blood flowed out.

The blood was as clear and pure as a ruby, without any impurities, and floated quietly in the air.

"call--"

The black dragon's body slowly healed, but it looked somewhat tired; the series of actions had greatly exhausted it.

With a flick of his finger, fresh blood flew towards Chen Mo.

"Don't blame me for not warning you, although this thing is precious, it may not be a good thing for you, and may even bring disaster..."

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for my decision."

After observing it carefully for a long time and confirming that there was no threat, Chen Mo reached out and touched it.

Like a sponge absorbing water, fresh blood suddenly seeped into the body.

A notification flashed before my eyes:

[Obtained rare item: Blood of the True Dragon.]

Before Chen Mo could react, an indescribable, terrifying energy exploded within his body, causing it to crack like porcelain, as if it were about to shatter at any moment! These cracks also appeared simultaneously on his physical body outside the secret realm!
But he felt no fear at all; instead, he was immersed in that profound and mysterious enlightenment.

That single drop of heart's blood contained a vast and complex amount of information, including a unique understanding of the Dao, as well as cultivation methods and supernatural powers based on dragon energy.

At this moment, Chen Mo finally realized.

"So this is what bloodline inheritance is?"

"In other words, this drop of blood might very well have come from a real dragon?"

Black Dragon observed him from afar, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he gazed at the battered yet unbroken figure.

"I didn't expect him to actually hold on?"

"Given the frail physique of humans, they simply cannot withstand the power of dragon blood. The fact that they could achieve this level of power means there is only one reason..."

"It seems he is the chosen one that Xu Yatou was talking about."

"Although this guy is annoying, I should be loyal to someone I'm entrusted with a task—that's a principle that girl taught me..."

The black dragon muttered to itself, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision. Its golden eyes shone brightly, enveloping Chen Mo, and the cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"hiss--"

An extremely comfortable feeling came over him, and Chen Mo suddenly shivered.

The dual pleasure of body and mind made him feel like he was floating on air, so good that he rolled his eyes back.

Having done all this, the black dragon was exhausted, its size shrunk dozens of times, and it curled up helplessly in the clouds.

"Anyway, I did my best."

"How much he can ultimately grasp depends on his own destiny."

It raised its hand and waved, causing dark clouds to surge and fill the sky, and Chen Mo's figure disappeared.

……

……

First floor of Tianwu Warehouse.

Wu Zhengkai trembled all over, his black shirt was soaked with sweat, and the light of the array flickered, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

"Time's almost up, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"If he were truly the chosen one, he would have already passed the test and obtained the inheritance... You damned eunuch, you must have misjudged him, right?"

"Impossible, we couldn't possibly be mistaken."

Eunuch Jin shook his head resolutely, but his fist clenched tightly under his sleeve, his heart pounding in his throat.

Their only chance has been used up. If Chen Mo fails to obtain the inheritance, the price they will pay will be unbearable.

Step, step, step——

Just then, a slow sound of footsteps rang out.

The two looked up abruptly and saw Chen Mo walking down the stairs, his brows furrowed, looking thoughtful.

"Is it over? How did it go?" Eunuch Jin hurried forward and asked impatiently.

Chen Mo snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uh...you might not believe it, but I received a full-service package..."

Grandpa Jin: ?

Wu Zhengkai: ?
