Primordial Emperor Xihuang

Chapter 145 Nine Absolutes Hanging in the Sky

Fuxi and Qixue chatted happily. During the conversation, Fuxi revealed that he possessed many cultivation manuals researched and created by the Yinming Demon Palace over the years, as well as a portion of the Yinming Demon Palace's collection. He had come to the Western Regions Continent only to find a place to settle down.

Qixu was overjoyed upon hearing this, promising that after returning to the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Fuxi would become the fourth elder of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

Fuxi did not completely believe Qixu's words. After all, Qixu was only temporarily taking over as the leader of the Nine Nether Demon Palace during the period when Keqi was severely injured. Whether Qixu could hold onto this position would depend on his subsequent actions.

Fuxi understood that the reason Qixu had personally come to invite him to join the Nine Nether Demon Palace was actually to make Fuxi a part of his own power, so that he could fight against the high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Demon Palace who opposed him.

Fuxi was naturally indifferent to this; his primary objective was to ascertain the foundation and strength of the Seven Heavens Demon Palace.

As the only top-tier demon palace among the Seven Heavens Demon Palaces capable of rivaling the Primal Demon Palace, the Nine Nether Demon Palace is an excellent research target. Once Fuxi has thoroughly studied the strength of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, he can then proceed to lure Rahu to personally descend upon the Western Regions Continent.

The Seven Heavens Demon Palace is very powerful, and it would not be easy for Fuxi alone to completely eliminate it.

However, if the Seven Heavens Demon Palace and Rahu could be turned against each other, it would not only weaken the strength of the demonic path but also pave the way for the Western Sea Dragon Court to land on the Western Regions continent.

Qixu led Fuxi all the way to the Nine Absolutes Sky, which was the mountain gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.

In the Seven Heavens Demon Palaces of the Western Regions Continent, the Yinling Demon Palace and the Cangsheng Demon Palace are located on the shore of the Western Sea. They are mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of the Western Sea Great Clan and the Five Great Demon Palaces of the Western Sea. Of course, now the target of their monitoring has changed to the Western Sea Dragon Court.

Apart from the Yinling Demon Palace and the Cangsheng Demon Palace, the remaining Primal Demon Palace, Nine Nether Demon Palace, Seven Kill Demon Palace, White Bone Demon Palace, and Xuanyin Demon Palace are all stationed on the west side of Liangjie Mountain.

The two strongest forces on the Western Continent, and the two main protagonists, are the Seven Heavens Demon Palace and the alliance of the Divine Path, the Profound Path, and the Buddhist Path.

The Seven Heavens Demon Palace is the strongest, occupying a large area in the southwest of the Western Regions Continent, while the Divine, Profound, and Buddhist Three-Party Alliance is stationed in the northeast of the Western Regions Continent.

Although major battles between the two alliances are rare, small-scale skirmishes have never ceased.

Over millions of years of confrontation, demonic energy, divine radiance, Dao light, and holy energy have collided continuously, gradually evolving into a 100,000-mile-high, winding mountain range stretching across the north and south sides of the Western Regions, resembling a giant dragon coiled around it—the Two Realms Mountain.

The western side of Liangjie Mountain was implicitly occupied by the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, while the eastern side of Liangjie Mountain was implicitly occupied by the Divine, Profound, and Buddhist factions. These two alliances directly divided up 60% of the land and fortune of the Western Regions.

Even the powerful native clans of the Western Regions, such as the White Tiger, Heavenly Fox, Mad Ferocious, Golden Lion, and Twisted Rat, could only shrink their own power and occupy the northwest and southeast corners of the Western Regions, powerless to resist the two powerful alliances at their zenith.

The two most powerful demon palaces, the Primordial Demon Palace and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, are located in the north and south of the Western Regions Continent, respectively.

The two demon palaces had a very bad relationship, so to avoid too much contact between the Primal Demon Palace and the Nine Nether Demon Palace, they were separated by the Seven Kill Demon Palace, the White Bone Demon Palace, and the Profound Yin Demon Palace.

Of course, this also includes the reason that the Primal Demon Palace and the Nine Nether Demon Palace are the strongest, so that they can monitor the White Tiger, the Heavenly Fox, and many other major local clans in the Western Regions.

After flying for millions of miles, Qixu stopped. A deep, dark demonic light burned on Qixu's body, and he took out the Black Cloud Ruyi.

With a snap of the lotus stem towards the void before him, layers of demonic flames rippled outwards, and a gray-white stone gate adorned with countless tadpole-like patterns slowly rose before Qixu and Fuxi.

Dense death energy and yin energy mixed with demonic energy transformed into billowing smoke, and wisps of distorted spacetime ripples compressed billions of miles of land and rivers into an extremely small scale.

"Are methods of long-distance spacetime teleportation so widespread now?"

Looking at the gray-white stone gate before him, Fuxi could tell at a glance that it was a teleportation artifact similar to the Dragon Gate of the Dragon Clan, capable of teleporting over extremely long distances.

"This is a towering stone gate jointly developed by the Seven Heavens Demon Palace for void teleportation. The main body of this gray-white stone gate is in the Nine Absolutes Suspended Heaven, which is one of the reasons why we are confident in fighting against the Primal Demon Palace."

"Before, because we were near the gate of the Seven Killings Demon Palace, the opening of the Tongtian Stone Gate was somewhat restricted. Now that we're outside the vicinity of the Seven Killings Demon Palace's gate, we don't have to travel so arduously anymore."

As Qixu spoke, his divine sense triggered the complex restrictions inside the Tongtian Stone Gate with a special kind of ripple. Even with Fuxi's attainments in the Great Dao of the Soul, he had not yet figured out the frequency and mechanism of Qixu's divine sense vibration.

The earth trembled slightly, and Fuxi clearly sensed the mournful cries of the earth's dragon veins beneath the Tongtian Stone Gate.

The Dragon Gate of the Dragon Clan burns away the Dragon Clan's fortune, while the Heavenly Stone Gate of the Demonic Path burns away the Western Regions' dragon veins.

If it weren't for the Seven Heavens Demon Palace's current power and abundant fortune, such acts of damaging the very essence of heaven and earth would have long been shattered into dust by divine punishment.

The gray stone gate slowly opened, and Qixun and Fuxi passed through it, appearing above a vast and magnificent sea of ​​clouds, resembling a celestial realm.

However, when Fuxi released his divine sense, he was able to perceive that the essence of this sea of ​​clouds was actually formed from endless, subtle demonic energy.

Because the sea of ​​clouds is filled with a large amount of life and death energy, which covers the hidden demonic energy, this sea of ​​clouds looks so normal.

In reality, any living being that dares to rush into the sea of ​​clouds will have its countless demonic energies transform into billions of celestial demons, devouring all the creatures that intrude.

And this is the mountain gate of the Nine Netherworld Demon Palace, the Nine Absolutes Hanging in the Sky.

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds, nine towering peaks pierce through the clouds, resembling nine demonic claws hanging down from the sky, threatening to destroy all humankind.

The eerie and icy demonic light surged and exploded continuously, transforming into countless bolts of lightning that crashed into the sea of ​​clouds, drawing upon the boundless demonic energy within to sustain the daily cultivation needs of the countless demonic palace disciples of Demon Peak Mountain.

The Nine Nether Demon Palace has eight supreme inheritances that can be cultivated to the peak of the Taiyi realm, and some even contain a trace of the profound mysteries of the Daluo Daojun realm. These eight inheritances, along with the lineage of the sect leader who is the most powerful in the Demon Palace, are the reason for the existence of these nine giant peaks.

Qixu led Fuxi directly across the sea of ​​clouds and arrived at the most magnificent mountain in the center of the sea of ​​clouds, a giant peak with a waterfall of dark demonic energy constantly hanging down. This giant peak was the main peak under the jurisdiction of the Nine Nether Demon Palace's lineage, Tianming Peak.
