I'm the emperor from the start, and you want me to keep the three-year agreement?

【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have mastered the cultivation technique: Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture】

【Reminder: The Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture has side effects. The Host will experience a prolonged period of weakness upon initial cultivation and after each rebirth.】

As soon as the system's voice faded, Lin Ning noticed his strength and cultivation level rapidly declining.

He was like a balloon filled with air, now quickly deflating.

Lin Ning plummeted from the Perfected Immortal Emperor Realm directly to the Qi Refining stage!

【Current Host Cultivation Level: Qi Refining】

【Current Weakness Period: Twenty Days】

【Friendly Reminder: As your mastery of the technique deepens, the Host's weakness period will significantly shorten.】

Lin Ning roughly scanned the Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture. This Undying Scripture is divided into four stages.

They are: Congealing Blood into Sigils, Manifesting Battle Intent, Forging the Body with Tribulation Fire, and the Divine Realm of Interdiction!

Besides its own powerful combat abilities, this technique also possesses three special forbidden arts, each of which consumes a great deal of the user's life force.

As the saying goes, yin and yang must be balanced, and things generate and overcome each other.

This Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture is also subject to significant constraints.

The most fatal of these is the Nine Nether Profound Ice or the Great Sun Golden Flame.

If the cultivator's last drop of essence blood is suppressed and sealed by either of these for more than forty-nine days, it will be completely annihilated.

"Could it be that the Ancient Demon God was eliminated in this way back then?"

Lin Ning stroked his chin, pondering. If even a being as powerful as the Ancient Demon God had fallen, how strong were his enemies?

"The Ancient Demon God said that if I were to leave the Desolate Ancient Continent one day and journey into the starry sky, I must not reveal my Myriad Tribulations Undying Scripture too early, or I would be hunted down."

"Who exactly did he offend back then?"

"However, since the Ancient Demon God passed the technique on to me, he is my teacher."

"Sooner or later, I will find his enemies and completely destroy them! To avenge my teacher!"

While Lin Ning was secretly vowing, Jiuli sensed his change.

She came closer and carefully sniffed Lin Ning's scent.

Lin Ning, with the system, could easily conceal his aura.

However, Jiuli detected Lin Ning's change through another means.

"Your scent has changed."

Jiuli, standing close by, said with a hint of grievance, "Did that Ancient Demon God deceive you, teaching you the wrong technique, causing your cultivation to fail and suffer a backlash?"

Lin Ning was taken aback, and said in astonishment, "What are you thinking about?"

"How did you determine that I've gotten worse?"

Jiuli rubbed her eyes and said, "I can smell the aura on your body. I just realized that I don't seem to like you as much anymore."

"This must be because you've become worse, a decline in cultivation caused by practicing the wrong technique."

"I'm certain that you've probably fallen from the Emperor Realm and are now almost like an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Lin Ning exclaimed, "Ah? You could even detect that?"

Seriously, sister, are you that powerful?

I have the system buff!

You can still sense my realm decreasing?

Is your nose that sensitive?

Were you a dog in your past life?

"How could your cultivation level drop so drastically?"

Jiuli suddenly said angrily, "The Ancient Demon God must have had ill intentions, I'm going to kill all the demons in the demon race."

Lin Ning reached out and grabbed Jiuli's wrist, saying, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a while."

"Besides, aren't you demons allied? Won't your elder brother, the Undying Emperor, scold you for doing this?"

Jiuli snorted, "If that Ancient Demon God dares to deceive you, causing your cultivation level to drop, I will take it out on the demons."

"I do things according to my own mood, my elder brother can't control me, and... for you, it's worth it."

Lin Ning patted Jiuli's little head.

Facing others, Jiuli exhibited the demeanor of a female emperor.

However, facing Lin Ning, Jiuli was like a little girl.

"Don't worry, I only have a twenty-day weakness period. Once that time passes, I'll be able to return to my original state."

As soon as these words came out, Jiuli's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Jiuli pushed Lin Ning to the ground, and with a mischievous smile, she said:

"Doesn't that mean that in these twenty days, my cultivation level will be much, much higher than yours, and my strength will far surpass yours."

Lin Ning covered his chest, "What do you want to do?"

"Want."

Jiuli put her long hair up and smiled, "Now it's my turn to be the master, hehe."

Lin Ning flicked the other party's forehead, "You, you, all you think about is coveting my body all day long, you're an empress."

"So what?" Jiuli said, "It's said that the human emperors have three thousand concubines in their harem."

"As the supreme being of the Demon Race, I only have eyes for you, it's your honor."

Saying that, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Lin Ning's wrist, and said, "I'm not lying to you, let you feel my heartbeat."

"You can't hide it when you like someone."

Lin Ning took Jiuli's hand, switched their positions, patted the other party's butt, slowly got up, and walked towards the door.

Jiuli thought Lin Ning had figured it out, but instead, he patted her butt and left, which made her stomp her feet in anger.

"Hey, I'm being so proactive, why are you still leaving?"

Jiuli said, "You can't hide it when you like someone, but if you like two people, you have to hide it well!

Otherwise, I will kill her!"

Seeing that Lin Ning did not respond, Jiuli puffed up her cheeks like a little hamster.

"Could it be that my charm isn't enough?"

Looking down, she looked at her figure.

She only saw the magnificent snow-white scene, Jiuli did not see her toes.

......

Vatican City.

As the sunlight shines on the earth, the darkness has not been dispelled, this ray of sunlight instead brings people a heavier haze.

On this day, the large and small forgers in Vatican City did not forge weapons as usual, but gathered together.

They lined up, and Deputy City Lord Ma Zhixuan began to count heads.

"Did you encounter it last night, there was a bloody handprint outside my house window! And someone was knocking on my window!"

"I encountered it too, someone was knocking on my door, I wanted to go downstairs to open the door, but I was too lazy to get out of bed, I found out this morning that the neighbor next door was dead! Died very miserably!"

After counting the heads, Ma Zhixuan's face was very solemn.

"Last night, thirty-five forgers died in our Vatican City!"

"In addition to them, no less than two hundred civilians died! And we know nothing about who the murderer is!"

A cultivator in the Perfected Tribulation Transcending Stage asked, "Lord Ma, could it be like they said, that a ghost came to claim lives?"

Next to him, others echoed one after another.

"Yes, I heard crying last night, it was very terrifying, and the howling sounds outside were as miserable as ghosts, and those bloody handprints......"

Hearing this, Ma Zhixuan snorted coldly, "Where did the ghost come from?"

"Have you ever seen a ghost? This old man has been cultivating for so many years, whether it is the weak Qi Refining stage or the current Great Emperor, I have never encountered a ghost!"

"Someone must want to attack our Vatican City!"

Just as Ma Zhixuan was deploying combat missions, a shocking news came.
