Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Nightmare Demon flickered and, without further delay, disappeared from the spot with Annihilation Demon.

Chu Ci turned around and looked at the purplish-red crystal not far away, which was also his ultimate goal in coming here: to destroy the fragments.

To be precise, this crystal contains not only fragments of destruction but also a portion of life energy. The balance of these two elements prevents Devil's Island from becoming a forbidden zone for life that no one can set foot in.

The fact that this fragment of destruction could fall from the realm of gods is most likely related to the fall of the God of Destruction and the God of Life.

Chu Ci summoned the Flower of Creation Martial Soul, and with a wave of his hand, created a white, illusory hand that reached out towards the fragments of destruction.

Despite the terrifying aftershocks emanating from the fragments of destruction, the illusory giant hand, powered by the Creation Flower Martial Soul, remained steadfast and touched the fragments of destruction. Chu Ci's first Soul Ring flickered, and a vast amount of life energy surged forth from the illusory giant hand.

Taking advantage of this life energy to counteract the destructive energy, Chu Ci struggled and managed to break off a small fragment from the crystal.

Life energy carried the small fragment and floated in front of Chu Ci. A white flower lit up in Chu Ci's eyes, and he activated the Eye of Creation.

As Chu Ci analyzed the structure of this small fragment of destruction with the Eye of Creation, he felt a surge of destructive power rushing towards him, and his eyes instantly became extremely sore, even gradually bringing a pain.

"call……"

Chu Ci abruptly withdrew the Eye of Creation and then rubbed his sore eyes.

It can only be said that it is indeed a fragment of destruction related to the god of destruction, as the destructive power contained within it is extremely pure and quite difficult to analyze.

Chapter 287 The Tortured Old Demon of Destruction

Chu Ci sighed. Analyzing the fragments of destruction had to be done slowly. If he was too eager for quick results, his eyes might be severely injured by the destructive power.

The power of creation and the power of destruction are mutually opposed. By understanding the power of destruction, the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) can, in a sense, enhance its mastery of the power of creation.

While Chu Ci was studying the fragments of destruction, the Seven Old Demons gathered in a cave somewhere else.

"Ruin, are you really that pathetic now? You've been made to look so pathetic by a child!" The towering Devouring Demon mercilessly mocked Ruin's pathetic state.

The old demon, his face red and neck thick, shouted defiantly, "You have no idea how wicked this kid is! His mind control technique is outrageous! Even when I enter a soul state, I can't dodge his sword!"

"Tch, that's because you're bad at it!" the Abomination Demon mocked from the side.

"I'm weak!" Old Demon of Destruction pointed at himself and shouted indignantly, "You guys are strong, you go deal with that kid. He looks down on us Seven Old Demons, you go teach him a lesson."

Upon hearing this, the old demons who had been shouting fell silent. Among the seven old demons, Nightmare Demon was the strongest, and even he found it very troublesome. The others were no match for Chu Ci.

Nightmare Demon stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "No wonder the academy emphasized that we should work together to deal with this. This kid is indeed an outrageous little monster."

"Then can we still torture this kid?" the old demon of desire said with a hint of regret.

"Of course we'll torture him. How can we not let this kid experience the cruelty of the world? Even if this kid is exceptionally strong, we have many methods. This kid may not be able to escape our grasp," said Nightmare Demon.

"Hehe, that's right. We have thousands of years of experience in tormenting people. I don't believe the seven of us can't handle a child like this," the old demon of desire said with a wicked grin.

“Indeed, I can’t help but torment this kid a bit. After all, I’m very curious about what it would be like to dig into the depths of such a genius’s mind.” The scantily clad old demon of desire licked his lips and said in a coquettish voice.

The Demon King of Destruction suddenly perked up, moved closer to the middle, and said, "Come on, let's have a good discussion. I'm going to torture this kid until he's willing to crawl over and undo the Life and Death Sword Talisman for me."

……

Inside Devil's Valley, Chu Ci remained engrossed in studying the fragments of destruction, and time quietly slipped by until dinnertime.

When his stomach growled, Chu Ci carefully preserved the small fragment of destruction he had removed using a special method.

After putting away his research tools, Chu Ci began to think about what to have for dinner. Just as he had made up his mind, Po Mie suddenly appeared behind Chu Ci carrying a tall, eight-tiered food box.

After noticing the arrival of the Demon of Annihilation, Chu Ci turned around and asked curiously, "What do you want from me? Do you really want me to study you?"

"No, no..." Old Demon of Destruction waved his hands repeatedly, then handed the food box in his hand to Chu Ci. "I just saw that young friend Chu Ci was too tired from his research. This Devil Island is different from other places. There are almost no living creatures on the island, so it is very difficult to find food. So I specially came here to bring a meal for young friend Chu Ci to save him trouble."

As the old demon of destruction spoke, he opened the food box, which had eight layers inside, filled with all sorts of delicious food and various fruits.

"I just tormented you, and you don't hate me? You even brought me food. You're so magnanimous!" Chu Ci teased.

The Old Demon of Destruction chuckled twice, forcing a smile onto his face, and said, "That was all a misunderstanding. I attacked first, and everything after that was just your self-defense. Why would I care?"

"Come on, eat up. This is food I prepared with great care. It's absolutely delicious." The Old Demon of Destruction shoved the food box into Chu Ci's hands, acting all eager and attentive.

Chu Ci smiled and picked up a small cake from the food box. Under the expectant gaze of the Demon King of Destruction, she did not put it in her mouth, but held it in her palm, which was covered with a faint white light.

The old demon of destruction looked utterly bewildered, staring blankly at Chu Ci's actions, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

The small cake gradually became ethereal and transparent in the white light, looking quite eerie.

Chu Ci's lips curled up slightly, "I didn't do anything, I just turned the little cakes into food that souls could consume."

The next second, to the horrified look of the Destroyer Demon, Chu Ci swiftly shoved the small cake into the Destroyer Demon's mouth.

The Old Demon of Destruction choked and strained, trying to force the little cake out of his mouth.

But as Chu Ci pressed his palm against the chest of the Destroyer of Destruction, the Destroyer of Destruction moved his throat, and the small cake was completely swallowed by him.

"How is it? Is the little cake delicious?" Chu Ci said with a smile.

The Demon of Destruction forced a smile that was more like a grimace, then suddenly clutched his stomach and collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain as he rolled around on the floor.

Chu Ci picked up the food box, slowly squatted down in front of the Old Demon of Destruction, and revealed a smile that the Old Demon of Destruction considered demonic.

Chu Ci placed the food box on the ground, took out a grape, and transformed it into the same shape as the small cake from before.

Chu Ci grabbed the old demon of destruction's chin with one hand, controlling the old demon's restless movements, pried open the old demon's mouth, and stuffed the grape into the old demon's mouth with the other hand that was holding the grape.

The old demon of destruction had its mouth controlled, and could only weakly utter whimpering sounds, its eyes filled with fear.

Chu Ci took out another food item from the food box, changed its shape, and then stuffed it into the mouth of the Destroyer Demon one by one, saying angrily as he did so.

"I told you not to harbor malicious intentions, I told you not to poison my food, and you still wanted to trick me? Trick your sister!"

As he ate the various foods, the effects of the medicine that the Old Demon of Destruction had given him began to evaporate, and the pain in his stomach became increasingly unbearable, like the constant squeals of a pig being slaughtered.

The last piece of food in the food box was stuffed into the mouth of the Destroyer Demon. Chu Ci dusted off his hands, stood up, and said calmly, "Tell the other six guys that if they try any more underhanded tricks, they'll end up like them. Think it over carefully."

The Old Demon of Destruction stared blankly at the sky, feeling excruciating pain throughout his body, and felt increasingly hopeless about life.

Nightmare Demon suddenly appeared beside Destruction Demon, scooped up the barely breathing Destruction Demon from the ground, and disappeared from the spot.

Back in the cave where the seven old demons lived, Nightmare Demon threw the twitching Destroyer Demon on his shoulder to the ground, then took out the antidote for the food and poured it into Destroyer Demon's mouth, making him roll his eyes back repeatedly.

Chapter 288 The Demon of Desire, the Underworld Descends

"Ah...ah...pfft..." After a long while, the residual medicinal power in the body of the Destroyer Demon was completely neutralized. He lay on the ground as if he had collapsed, not wanting to move a single finger.

"My God, Ruin! You went twice and returned so miserably both times. Is this kid really that strange?" The Old Demon of Hatred couldn't hold back any longer.

Nightmare Demon's face was extremely ugly. Having been made so embarrassed twice by a junior, where could they, the Seven Demons who were feared by all, put their faces?

"Is this kid here to be trained, or to train us?" Old Demon of Destruction said weakly as he sat up, clutching his stomach.

"What should we do? Should we still deal with this kid?" the Devouring Demon asked.

"Hmph," Nightmare Demon snorted coldly, slamming his fist against the cave wall, and said in a sinister tone, "Go for it? Why not? He's in the open, we're in the shadows. Can you really stand not to torture this kid properly?"

"Alright, I'll come next time. Let me really give this kid a good talking to!" The old demon of desire volunteered.

“Very good, Desire. I’ll cooperate with you next time,” Nightmare Demon said happily.

……

On the other hand, Chu Ci restored his strength by absorbing the life energy in the valley to make food.

It was already late, and the moon was high in the sky. Chu Ci set up a tent as a place to rest, and went inside to meditate instead of resting.

Suddenly, pink mist rose around the tent and poured into it continuously.

At this moment, Chu Ci inside the tent frowned deeply. A black aura swirled behind his head, and he felt a powerful spiritual force attempting to savagely invade his spiritual sea.

Four golden stars have lit up within the spiritual sea of ​​Chu Ci, converging into millions of golden flying swords to fight against the black spiritual power.

Faced with the sharp Seven Star Flying Sword, the black spiritual power was powerless to resist, but it harassed Chu Ci like a leech, making him extremely annoyed.

With each breath, Chu Ci gradually inhaled the pink mist, and involuntarily recalled things deep within her mind...

The soul bone in Chu Ci's mind glowed faintly, and his head was shrouded in a golden nebula.

The first soul skill of the Starfall Ghost Fox's head soul bone is Star Gathering and Concentration.

With a sudden increase in his soul's resilience, Chu Ci's eyes cleared instantly, and the surrounding pink mist was dispelled by the golden nebula.

"To pry into the desires deep within my heart, that's going too far!" A chilling glint flashed in Chu Ci's eyes as he looked up and pierced through layers of space to see the old demon of desire hiding in the shadows.

The Demon of Desire noticed Chu Ci's gaze, and when she saw the killing intent in his eyes, her intuition told her to run, or she would die!

Without hesitation, the Demon of Desire followed his intuition and turned to run.

Like shattered glass, the spatial barrier pushed open in all directions, and Chu Ci instantly unfolded a mirror space that enveloped the space around the Desire Demon.

The moment the Demon of Desire disappeared, he was squeezed out by the space that had been teleported.

The next second, Chu Ci appeared in front of the Demon of Desire. Five stars lit up in his mind, converging into a golden longsword, which he slashed out with astonishing killing intent.

A look of terror flashed in the eyes of the Demon of Desire, and a pink mist swirled around him, converging on Chu Ci in an attempt to attack his soul.

A crisp sword cry rang out, and an overbearing, domineering sword intent soared into the sky, instantly annihilating the pink mist.

A golden sword light flashed, and the Demon of Desire let out a miserable cry. A hideous sword wound instantly appeared on her body, and her figure dimmed considerably.

The Flower of Creation martial soul bloomed, the sixth soul ring lit up, and Anubis, clad in golden armor, majestically raised his scepter, the eyes of the jackal head on the scepter glowing with an eerie scarlet light.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Descent from the Underworld."

Chu Ci walked through the air, his eyes filled with indifference and majesty. The sky in the mirror space gradually turned as black as ink, and a cold and desolate atmosphere permeated the air, making people feel as if they were in the cold underworld.

The underworld descends, and the Flower of Creation blooms with a creative power powerful enough to change heaven and earth, creating the underworld in reality where the dead go, for use in the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu).

A cold, icy black river suddenly appeared from nowhere, its surging waters quickly submerging the ankles of the old demon of desire.

"Ahhh!" The old demon of desire clutched her chest and knelt helplessly on the ground. She felt herself involuntarily wanting to merge into the black river and drift with its current.

Fortunately, the Desire Demon possessed considerable life energy, which protected her from sinking into the black river.

"What, what is this?" The Demon of Desire instantly ascended into the air, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at the black river beneath his feet with considerable apprehension.

"The Yellow Springs, the river that guides souls," Chu Ci said coldly.

"Very powerful, but to think you can guide me is wishful thinking," the old demon of desire roared fiercely.

Chu Ci's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Without him making any move, the black Yellow Spring Water suddenly surged upwards. The Desire Demon was startled and quickly flew into the sky, but suddenly an arm made of white bones stretched out from the Yellow Spring Water and grabbed the Desire Demon's ankle, pulling her down from the air in an instant.

"Long-dormant dead, my legion of death, awaken!" Chu Ci murmured.
