Blade and Sword Demon Venerable, Green Lotus Empress
Boom!
After passing through the distorted, disordered space, Ning Xuanyuan felt himself falling. He hurriedly steadied himself and looked up at the Heaven and Earth Realm around him.
Blue sky, white clouds, and a vast expanse of land stretched as far as the eye could see. This wondrous secret realm looked no different from the outside world. In Ning Xuanyuan's eyes, however, that was not actually the case.
Beneath the heavens and above the clouds, mysterious patterns seemed to flicker in and out of sight. They intertwined into a vast net with no visible edge, as though it shrouded the entire sky.
Ning Xuanyuan leaped up and flew higher. Nothing impeded him until he reached the invisible net of light, where he could rise no farther.
The net of light was impossible to see with the naked eye, yet it truly existed. A mysterious power spread from it, blocking Ning Xuanyuan's advance.
"Another seal?" Ning Xuanyuan's eyes flickered as he fell into thought. "No wonder no one has been able to find the inheritance all these years. So it was hidden behind a second seal."
Both the Asura Emperor and Qin Lang had said that the Thousand Mysteries Secret Realm was a space created by that mighty figure of the most ancient times. If so, it could not be too large. Presumably, over so many years, people had already set foot in every corner of it.
Yet to this day, no one had found the mighty figure's inheritance. Thus, many people doubted whether the so-called inheritance even existed.
Ning Xuanyuan grinned, and the Gods and Devils Wings appeared behind him. The pair of wings had been formed from the sealing runes outside the secret realm and could not last long. Presumably, they were meant to break this second seal.
His wings unfurled, and surging demonic currents erupted around him. Then he spun, and the Gods and Devils Wings seemed to become two enormous, sharp demonic blades, slashing viciously at the insubstantial sealing net of light.
In an instant, dreadful light flowed across the net, and an invisible force descended, crushing Ning Xuanyuan down and making his body sink sharply.
Ning Xuanyuan's eyes blazed with brilliant light. An extremely terrifying power erupted from his body, and he charged upward while withstanding that dreadful pressure.
But as he rose, the demonic pressure bearing down on him grew stronger and stronger. In the end, the demonic might actually turned from invisible to tangible. The stronger the resistance, the more terrifying the pressure it unleashed, as though it had no limit.
Sensing the pressure, Ning Xuanyuan's face took on a defiant look, and his eyes became incomparably fearsome. The powerful will in his mind fought against the descending demonic pressure, while dazzling brilliance flowed across his body.
An incomparably powerful force of will guarded his mind, resisting the terrifying demonic pressure. And before he knew it, Ning Xuanyuan felt as though he had entered a terrifying illustration of a devil god. There lay a world of devil gods.
Demonic light blotted out the heavens, above mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Ning Xuanyuan saw a demonic figure stride toward him, wielding a saber and sword. Its supreme demonic might shook heaven and earth, looking down on all under heaven!
Sword radiance raged, and saber light crisscrossed. Wherever saber and sword passed, all things perished, and no life remained!
Bloody, savage, and domineering beyond compare!
"Hmph!"
Ning Xuanyuan let out a cold snort. His body rumbled, and even his bloodline seemed to roar and surge. An invisible force pushed upward against the pressure, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered into a terrifying storm. He raised both hands, his somewhat slender frame looking as though it would hold up the heavens and earth. The Gods and Devils Wings whirled madly, crushing and destroying everything!
At that moment, Ning Xuanyuan became incomparably majestic and overbearing, like an ancient devil god!
Powerful demonic laws swept down from the sealing net of light. Ning Xuanyuan, however, was utterly fearless, desperately charging upward. Endless demonic transformation shone across heaven and earth.
Amid this fierce struggle, Ning Xuanyuan continued to rise, and the sealing net of light was pulled into a breathtaking curve.
At this moment, the entire Heaven and Earth Realm turned dark, a terrifying sight. Wind and clouds changed color, and figure after lifelike figure of devil gods appeared on the net of light.
Endless demonic light flowed over Ning Xuanyuan's body, and rays of light shot straight into the clouds. An incomparably violent presence surged forth. Ning Xuanyuan seemed to have fully transformed into the body of Gods and Devils, continuously breaking through his restraints.
With a long cry that shook the heavens, the force suppressing everything vanished. Ning Xuanyuan moved like lightning, shattered the void beneath his feet, and entered another space.
This space appeared boundlessly vast and dim. Endless netherworld light seemed to flow through the void, while wisps of demonic might imbued with death Qi filled the air.
Ning Xuanyuan looked down. Beneath his feet was a sea of black flames of destruction, giving one an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Focusing his gaze, Ning Xuanyuan saw a figure in the void ahead.
The figure had long purple hair and black demonic armor. Long brows swept into his temples above narrow eyes. Most striking of all, a series of twisted patterns marked his left cheek, making him look exceedingly strange, sinister, and terrifying.
His arms hung at his sides, a saber in one hand and a sword in the other. A wave of power that made the heart tremble spread from him.
Opposite him stood another figure.
It was a woman in a magnificent long robe, with a graceful figure and long, slender legs beneath a waist one could span with both hands. Her face in particular was flawlessly beautiful. She also carried herself with an exceptionally noble bearing.
Beneath her feet was a green lotus with six open petals, each shimmering with a halo of a different color, making it look extraordinarily wondrous.
At the sight of the green lotus, Ning Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and a smile touched his lips. Then he spun around and struck a palm fiercely into the void behind him.
"Fairy sister, you came here for this green lotus, didn't you?"
"Bang!"
A muffled impact rang out, and ripples suddenly spread through the space there. A low cry of surprise followed, and then a graceful figure appeared.
She wore a long white dress and had a cool, aloof bearing, floating like an immortal.
Luo Wanwan, divine maiden of the Moon Spirit Palace in the Guanghan Ancient Domain!
As she revealed herself, Luo Wanwan's delicate, jade-like face showed a trace of shock she could hardly conceal. Clearly, she had not expected Ning Xuanyuan to discover her presence.
But Luo Wanwan's expression soon returned to normal. She looked at Ning Xuanyuan with clear eyes and nodded slightly. "His Highness Xuanyuan, I told you I would wait for you in the secret realm."
"Did you?" Ning Xuanyuan looked at Luo Wanwan with the hint of a smile and clapped his hands. "Fairy sister, you're pretty good at tailing people, but your stealth isn't much to speak of."
