Chapter 107 The Image of the Demon Lord (First update guaranteed)
"Be careful of ambush." Luo Shengyi said concisely and concisely.
Although this situation made him a little wary and worried, he still had to pursue it. Without the "Star Reacher", it would be impossible to seal the Demon Tomb. Then the main mission would have failed, and even if he wanted to kill the opponent's camp, he would be reincarnated. To make up for his good deeds, he also has to catch up with Gu Xiaosang.
His reminder was a normal concern, so Meng Qi, who was inexperienced in the world of martial arts, could also imagine that the exposed skin was flowing with dark gold, like a brass statue, walking firmly and forcefully in front, Qi Zhengyan was surrounded by red clouds, following closely Behind Meng Qi, he was fully on guard against the enemy.
The two elders of Zhaixing Tower were walking on both sides, searching for a convenient place for an ambush near the traces. Jiang Zhiwei and Luo Shengyi spread out a bit, and the scope of their investigation was relatively wide. After all, this ruins occupies a very large area, and there might be an enemy ambush. in a distant building.
As a result, the speed of several people began to slow down, but there was nothing they could do about it. If they rushed to catch up, they might fall into the trap of the Demon Cult.
When they arrived at this ruins, there were very few traces of Gu Xiaosang and Di Zun. If it weren't for the two elders of Zhaixinglou who knew everything about the desert and had rich experience in the world, Meng Qi would have probably lost them. At this time, everyone was reluctantly hanging on. After walking and walking, we finally arrived in front of the dilapidated temple standing in the center.
"Is this the temple of the Demon Lord?" Meng Qi found that it was very similar to the ruined temple that he had used to escape the sandstorm. It could even be said that it was exactly the same in shape and features, but the specifications were very different. How could this temple be? When there are five ruined temples.
Elder Chen from Zhaixing Tower looked at it carefully, nodded slightly and said: "It is indeed a temple to worship the devil. Judging from its size and the scale of this ruins, it may be one of the original temples to worship the devil. However, As the Immortal bestowed divine weapons and sealed the Demon Tomb, the strength of the Demon Cult shrank, and now only one remains on the top of the Holy Volcano."
"Could they be able to borrow the power of the Demon Tomb in this temple?" Although Meng Qi has little experience in the world, his "knowledge" is still very broad, so he may have to guard against this.
The elder surnamed Chen thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Maybe, in any case, we have to be extremely vigilant."
After another routine search, Meng Qi stood up like a brass Arhat statue and held a dark red evil-suppressing knife. He stepped into the temple door first, and this time, Jiang Zhiwei raised his sword to protect him. .
I don’t know why, but the temple is extremely clean, with no dust at all. It’s in sharp contrast to the ruins outside that are submerged in yellow sand, and it’s quite magical.
Right in front of the temple, there is a statue of a god enshrined. Unlike the one in the ruined temple, this statue is well preserved, allowing Meng Qi to see the "grace" of the demon lord.
It has a light black base, three heads and six arms. Some of the faces are ferocious, some are hateful, and some are indifferent. The only thing they have in common is that there is a dark magic mark between the eyebrows, which is evil and filthy. In the arms, some hold swords, and some Some lift the sword, some hold the seal, some hold the bottle, and some hold the wheel.
The most eye-catching one is the one in front of you. The palm is wide, almost twice as long as the other palms. The nails are like swords, extending three inches. The back of the hand is densely covered with dark black patterns, with a dizzying eccentricity. , evil, depravity and bloodshed, it also makes people feel an unimaginable hatred, hating the heaven and the father-in-law, hating the earth and carrying things, hating people's pleasure, hating things that are not one's own, hating the troubles of cause and effect, hating the cruelty of fate, hating oneself for not killing enough. .
A seemingly ordinary statue of a god can actually give people such a strong feeling. It seems that it can be carved by extraordinary people!
"I heard that the leader of the Demon Sect's founder is a sculptor, but when I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation." The elder surnamed Chen said with emotion.
Suddenly, Luo Shengyi took a step back and shook his head slightly, causing Meng Qi to raise his sword, thinking that the enemy was coming.
"No." Luo Shengyi said quickly and rubbed his temples, "I was just too focused on the pattern on that palm, trying to distinguish it, and as a result, I was mentally exhausted and dizzy."
I'm afraid you want to remember these patterns that are not mortal at first glance... Meng Qi muttered, even if these are just mortal carvings of the leader of the Demon Cult, which is rare to be one ten thousandth of the true essence of the Demon Claw, it is at least a fraction of it. Miraculous.
Looking back now, he found that he couldn't remember the patterns. Even when he looked at them with a little force, he would have ups and downs of emotions, feelings of murderous hatred and so on, and he could hardly control himself.
"Don't delay, you can find something to make a rubbing when you return." Jiang Zhiwei reminded.
Everyone who was seduced by the statue of the Demon Lord suddenly woke up and searched for the remaining traces of Gu Xiaosang and Di Zun in the hall.
Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei did not move, standing in the center so that others could be rescued in time if they were attacked.
"When I heard the legend of the Demon Lord before, I thought it sounded familiar to me. Now that I saw this demon statue, I finally remembered why it sounded familiar to me." Suddenly, Jiang Zhiwei's sweet oriole-like voice directly rang in Meng Qi's ears.
She is transmitting the message into the secret.
Meng Qi had already been taught the method of transmitting sounds into secrets by her, so he imitated her and said, "Why?"
Jiang Zhiwei spoke very quickly: "Because our world also has the legend of the Demon Lord, who is one of the top powers in the age of mythology."
"Are the legends the same?" Meng Qi was stunned.
Jiang Zhiwei said simply: "Similar but slightly different, the legend here is that the Demon Lord broke into the Nine Heavens and was killed by the immortals, and his body fell to the ground. The myth of our world is that the Demon Lord led the Nine Nether Demons and creatures from the Demon World to attack the Heaven. , caused a monstrous demonic disaster, and was finally killed by the Emperor of Heaven with the Heavenly Seal. The demon world was also destroyed in this battle, and Jiuyou has been hidden in the world since then. "
"It sounds very similar..." Meng Qi felt faintly frightened when he heard it at the same time. This is too similar, right? There seems to be no difference between the Nine Heavens, the Immortals, the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor. "In the mythology of our world, where is the remains of the Demon Lord?"
"I don't know, because the records of the fall of Heaven are unknown. Maybe Xuantian Sect will know something about it." Jiang Zhi said with some thought.
The Xuantian Sect is known as the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor because tens of thousands of years ago, their founding ancestor discovered the ruins of the Heavenly Court under the Yuhuang Mountain and obtained the Time Sword and part of the Heavenly Emperor's Jade Book.
Meng Qi thought that this demon lord was the other demon lord, but the level of strength in this world was too bad, right?
"Being able to attack Heaven, the Demon Lord's strength is really terrifying. I wonder what level he has reached?" Meng Qi asked doubtfully.
Jiang Zhiwei pondered for a moment: "It is rumored that the Demon Lord opened the Demon Realm in the void. The strength of the realm can be imagined. Later, the Nine Heavens disappeared, the Heavenly Court collapsed, and the Emperor of Heaven fell. It is said that there are hidden dangers laid by the battle with the Demon Lord."
She didn't know how many realms the Dharmakaya had, and she didn't know if there were other realms above. She could only describe it based on rumors.
"The Emperor of Heaven fell and the Heavenly Palace collapsed. Who did it?" Meng Qi couldn't help but ask when he heard Jiang Zhiwei mention this for the second time. This was definitely not something that ordinary powers could do.
Jiang Zhiwei shook her head: "This is an ancient secret, but there are records that suddenly one day, the ladder to the sky broke, and the heaven fell from the sky. The smoke covered the earth for nine days. From then on, it was called the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm by ordinary people. Completely disappear."
Meng Qi took a breath, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and turned his attention back to the Demon Lord: "Zhiwei, why do you think of the myths of our world when you see this statue of the Demon Lord?"
What are the characteristics?
"Because of it." Jiang Zhiwei pointed to the most conspicuous claw on the statue of the Demon Lord. "In the mythology of our world, the Demon Lord himself is just an ordinary member of the Nine Nether Demons. Later, by chance, he obtained the 'Demon King's Claw' , soared into the sky and became a world-destroying demon, and it resembled the 'Demon King's Claw'."
Meng Qi had seen the Demon Emperor's Claw on the exchange chart of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was one of the top ten peerless divine weapons, worth hundreds of thousands of good deeds, and was left behind by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.
According to the introduction of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, in the ancient times, the Evil Emperor was created by Tao Zun, fled back to Jiuyou, and before his incarnation, he issued seven great curses, cursing all things. Later, his body disappeared, leaving only one claw. Those who obtain this claw are like being possessed by the Demon King and achieve unparalleled magical powers.
However, the owner of the Demon King's Claw will be affected by the seven magic spells, and his temperament will gradually change, and he will take the destruction of all things as his own mission. Therefore, the Demon King's Claw, the most filthy and peerless magic weapon, is the cheapest among the top ten.
Meng Qi looked at that strange and evil palm again, feeling the overwhelming hatred and destruction again.
This time he looked more intently, but soon he felt a tingling sensation between his brows, his spirit was sleepy, and his head was dizzy, so he had to force his eyes away.
"What happened to the Demon King's Claw next?" Meng Qi calmed down and asked.
Jiang Zhiwei thought for a while and said: "The Demon Lord was killed by the Emperor of Heaven, and the Demon Emperor's claws were lost and found again, creating the legend of a generation of Demon Lords. However, at the end of the mythical age, the Demon Lord was said to have exhausted his lifespan and passed away. , in the following medieval times, the Demon King's Claw was born several times, each time bringing monstrous disasters and the death of hundreds of millions of creatures. Until 20,000 years ago, its last owner died together with a certain powerful man, and the Demon King's Claw never existed again. No trace at all."
"Would it be possible that the 'Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation' would get it later?" Meng Qi wiped his sweat, thinking that the Demon King's Claw on the exchange chart for the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation did not have the word "missing" written on it.
Jiang Zhiwei said seriously: "It's possible."
Meng Qi wanted to ask for more details, but suddenly the elder Chen loudly said: "A secret passage was discovered! They left from here!"
The two gathered their thoughts and walked behind the statue of the Demon Lord. They found that a carved stone slab was pushed away, revealing a deep secret passage.
To pursue or not to pursue?
When encountering a secret passage, Meng Qi and others would naturally consider the ambush inside. However, due to various reasons, they decided to continue chasing. However, they left Elder Li of Zhaixing Tower behind and asked him to guard the entrance. If any situation arises, he would immediately use Inform the elder Chen inside of him about his supernatural power to avoid being cut off.
As the steps went down, it was deep and dark. Meng Qi and the others held up fire sticks in one hand and held their weapons tightly in the other. Luo Shengyi and the elder Chen followed suit, carefully checking whether there were any hidden weapons on both sides of the corridor.
The road was clean, except for the stone slabs painted with the power of the devil, there was nothing, not even dust.
After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up into an underground hall.
Facing Meng Qi and others in the hall is a strange stone door, which is full of strange patterns, colorful, gorgeous and weird.
In front of the stone gate, there were piles of huge rocks, blocking it.
In front of the boulder, a man with a frame like a bear sat cross-legged, his expression was peaceful and happy, and his body was shriveled and fleshless.
"Di Zun..." This is the voice of the elder named Chen.
"No living fingers..." This is what Meng Qi and others blurted out.
Gu Xiaosang actually killed Di Zun!
