Ascension to Demon Realm: Is the Demon Emperor an Idiot?

"What does 'not' mean?"

Ryoma couldn't help but ask.

"Nine out of ten will die!"

"Giant Spirit Immortal said with utmost seriousness."

"Hiss! "Old Ma was stunned. He looked at Liu Qingfeng again, his eyes filled with worry.

"Waaaaah! Holy Lord Qing Feng! May you rest in peace."

Wang Fugui cried out.

"Why did it suddenly turn out like this?" Longma couldn't help but ask. How could a perfectly normal tribulation of lightning suddenly mutate?

Giant Spirit Immortal frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

"It should be a consequence of the last time the Changsheng Honored Lord underwent his tribulation."

"That's what the Giant Spirit Immortal said."

"What do you mean? How did this involve my older brother?"

Longma was curious and didn't understand what this meant. What did Liu Qingfeng's tribulation have to do with Lu Changsheng?

"Do you all remember? When the Changsheng Honored Lord undergoing his tribulation, the final lightning strike was just a single arc of electricity. Do you remember?"

"That's what the Giant Spirit Immortal said."

"I remember, so what?"

"Is it related to that electric arc?"

"Is there any connection between them?" Hongyun, Longma, and Wang Fugui were all curious. This didn't make any sense at all. Lu Changsheng's tribulation was sixty years ago. Now that sixty years have passed, how could it still be related?

Is this a forced connection?

"In fact, when the Changsheng Honored Lord underwent his tribulation, the final lightning strike should have been extremely terrifying, but why was there only a single arc of lightning? Haven't you ever thought about that?"

"The Giant Spirit Immortal asked."

"That must be because Brother Changsheng has such great luck that even the lightning tribulation is afraid of him."

"Yes, yes, it must be because the Holy Lord of Immortality has great fortune."

I think so too.

The three nodded, all agreeing that it was due to Lu Changsheng's exceptional luck.

However, the Giant Spirit Immortal shook his head and said, "No! I thought so at first too, but as many people ascended later, I felt something was wrong. Have you noticed?"

"Since the Changsheng Honored Lord, the tribulations have become much stronger. We no longer see the three-nine tribulations; the worst are the six-nine tribulations, and the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation are everywhere. Those little guys, which one of them didn't experience Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation?"

"At first, I thought it was because of the great changes in the world that everyone's tribulations would gradually become stronger. Later, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and now I understand."

The Giant Spirit Immortal's words drew everyone's attention.

"What do you understand?"

"Speak quickly."

"Yes, hurry up and tell us."

Everyone was curious.

"Have you ever thought that the tribulation lightning is the existence of the Heavenly Dao, but the tribulation lightning doesn't just appear whenever you want. It requires the gathering of the Spiritual Qi of a world. When the Changsheng Honored Lord underwent his tribulation, he exhausted the Spiritual Qi of countless worlds around him."

"But it still couldn't withstand the final strike of the lightning tribulation. So the lightning tribulation, being sentient, harbored resentment. Therefore, subsequent cultivators undergoing tribulation were all strengthened to some extent. The lightning tribulation can do this, but it can't go too far."

"It just so happens that Qing Feng encountered a very strong lightning tribulation this time, which is why the lightning tribulation transformed. In other words, Qing Feng inherited the karma of the Changsheng Honored Lord."

What the Giant Spirit Immortal said sounded incredibly mysterious, but it actually made a damn good point.

For a moment, everyone was a little stunned.

I'm still a bit confused.

"So, the lightning tribulation unleashed all its energy on Qing Feng?"

Ryoma couldn't help but ask this question.

"Yes, that's why he vented all his anger on Qing Feng. No wonder the lightning tribulation was so terrifying, it was just as he thought."

Giant Spirit Immortal looked as if he had just realized something.

Everyone:

"For some, death is heavier than a celestial mountain; for others, death is lighter than a feather. Holy Lord Qing Feng, your death is truly a great merit. May you rest in peace. Leave the Great Luo Holy Land to me. Wealth and honor will certainly not hold you back."

Wang Fugui said with deep emotion.

Longma, Giant Spirit Immortal, and Hongyun could only sigh and look at Liu Qingfeng with regret.

At this time.

Liu Qingfeng stood high in the Azure Sky, looking at the purple lightning tribulation, his eyes filled with despair.

Boom!

The lightning tribulation was merciless. A bolt of lightning, ten thousand feet long, descended. The purple lightning was full of destructive power. In an instant, Liu Qingfeng's whole body became numb. He felt as if his tendons and skin were being pulled out, and the pain was so intense that he could hardly breathe.

His body was torn apart in an instant, and he cried on the spot.

This is only the first tribulation lightning strike. Even if there are not nine hundred and ninety-nine strikes later, he still won't be able to withstand even ninety-nine strikes.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, save me!"

Liu Qingfeng cried bitterly; he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

In fact, he was completely unafraid of the previous tribulation lightning, but now he really couldn't withstand it, and not just any ordinary tribulation lightning.

Let alone what comes after, they couldn't even withstand the first ten.

Boom!

When the second lightning bolt struck, Liu Qingfeng was in so much pain that snot came out of his nose.

"Brother Lei, Brother Jie, please, just give me a quick death."

Liu Qingfeng rolled around in the void, he was in so much pain. Fortunately, the tribulation was too terrifying for other cultivators to see, otherwise, Liu Qingfeng would have been utterly humiliated.

The third tribulation lightning.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

Liu Qingfeng laughed, a laugh born of pain.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh.

Liu Qingfeng was on the verge of death. He couldn't withstand this tribulation of lightning. He even felt that even if Lu Changsheng came, he might not be able to withstand this tribulation of lightning.

"Senior Brother Changsheng Junior Brother, I may never see you again. I hope you are happy in the Immortal Realm and that you may think of your Junior Brother from time to time."

As the eighth lightning bolt struck, Liu Qingfeng cried out weakly, despairing of his fate.

But just then...

The lightning tribulation suddenly froze, stopping in the void.

For a moment, Liu Qingfeng, who was preparing to die, was stunned.

What does this mean?

However, the lightning tribulation soon continued to fall.

"Lu Changsheng!"

Liu Qingfeng, quick-witted, shouted something.

The lightning tribulation stopped immediately.

"I'm done for."

Liu Qingfeng was truly shocked this time. Calling out the name of Senior Brother Changsheng could actually frighten the lightning tribulation?

Is this really necessary?

Just a moment later, the lightning tribulation was about to strike again.

At this moment, Liu Qingfeng spoke with his last breath.

"My name is Liu Qingfeng, and I am Lu Changsheng Junior Brother. I hope Senior Lei Jie will be merciful and spare my life."

Liu Qingfeng said this.

He didn't know if it would work or not, but he'd say it anyway and see.

And then, a miracle happened.

The terrifying lightning tribulation gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds that blotted out the sky also gradually disappeared, replaced by strands of immortal light shining on Liu Qingfeng.

This was the Guiding Immortal Light, which instantly healed Liu Qingfeng's injuries.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, you're such a tough guy!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Liu Qingfeng burst into laughter. He was quite excited, never expecting that this could actually happen.

"You made it through?"

In the Great Luo Holy Land, Giant Spirit Immortal was astonished. Not only him, but Wang Fugui, Hongyun, and Longma were also shocked.

This is truly unexpected; Liu Qingfeng actually succeeded in transcending the tribulation.

"Congratulations, Holy Lord Qing Feng, on successfully transcending your tribulation! I knew it! How could Holy Lord Qing Feng possibly fail to transcend your tribulation!"

Wang Fugui wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and said loudly, extremely excited and overjoyed.

"This is impossible!" Giant Spirit Immortal was surprised. He could sense how terrifying this lightning tribulation was; even a True Immortal might die, let alone Liu Qingfeng, who was only Mahayana Realm cultivator, even if his cultivation technique was very strong.

But he's only at the Human Immortal Realm, how could he possibly survive such a tribulation?

Before anyone could react, Liu Qingfeng suddenly flew into the Azure Sky.

He wants to ascend to the Immortal Realm, he'll ascend directly, he won't wait for anyone.

"Damn it, Qing Feng, didn't you say we'd ascend together? Wait for me!"

Longma was getting anxious. He could have ascended long ago, but the reason he kept waiting for Liu Qingfeng was because he was worried that there were many powerful people in the Immortal Realm. Ascending together would at least provide some protection, right?

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingfeng ascended to immortality, catching him off guard.

"Old Ma, come quick, I can't control myself."

High above the sky, Liu Qingfeng didn't want to ascend immediately. He still had some things to tell him and didn't want to ascend so quickly.

"Wait for me! Wait for me!" Longma used his extreme speed, then looked at Giant Spirit Immortal and the others and said, "We are waiting for you in the Giant Spirit Immortal, you must take good care of the Great Luo Holy Land. Fugui, we are waiting for you in the Immortal Realm."

Longma was incredibly fast and disappeared into the horizon; there was no way he could stay there any longer.

All his old friends have ascended to heaven, so there's no point in him staying here alone on horseback. He should hurry up and ascend to heaven to latch onto Lu Changsheng's coattails; that's the right path.

"Alright, alright, Senior Longma, Holy Lord Qing Feng, may you have a safe journey."

Wang Fugui readily agreed, and Giant Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Old Ma, go to the Immortal Changsheng Honored Lord when we will ascend. As long as you give us a signal, we will ascend immediately!"

The Giant Spirit Immortal said that it didn't matter whether he ascended or not. The main thing was whether Lu Changsheng needed it. If he needed it, he would ascend immediately. If he didn't need it, he wouldn't ascend.

And so, Longma and Liu Qingfeng gradually disappeared into the horizon.

At this moment, in the Longevity World, only Wang Fugui, Giant Spirit Immortal, and Hongyun remain.

Above the sky.

Longma had caught up with Liu Qingfeng. He looked at Liu Qingfeng with curiosity.

"Qing Feng, how did you survive the tribulation?"

Longma was genuinely curious. He knew that Giant Spirit Immortal was almost certain to die, but to his surprise, Liu Qingfeng actually succeeded in transcending the tribulation.

That's really terrifying.

"Of course I endured it, Old Ma. You don't really think I couldn't survive the tribulation, do you?" How could Liu Qingfeng possibly admit that he survived the tribulation in that way? If word got out, wouldn't people laugh at him?

"Really?"

Longma was clearly somewhat skeptical.

"Oh, believe it or not, let's go, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and ascend to the Immortal Realm. We'll go find Senior Brother Changsheng. I bet he's already famous throughout the Immortal Realm. Our timing is perfect!"

Liu Qingfeng said this with a smile.

"Yes, I think so too. Brother Changsheng must be famous throughout the Immortal Realm by now. He might even have become Immortal King. We can just follow him and enjoy the good life."

Longma nodded, looking forward to his days in the Immortal Realm.

But as time went by, little by little, it all came to an end.

Suddenly, Longma sensed that something was wrong.

"Qing Feng, don't you feel something's wrong? Why has the surrounding Spiritual Qi turned green?"

Ryoma said with a frown.

"That's normal. It must be divine energy. I feel so comfortable all over. Don't you feel it too?"

Liu Qingfeng didn't think much of it; after all, it was his first ascension, how could he know so much?

"Yes, I feel comfortable all over, but this is a little different from celestial energy, isn't it?"

Ryoma was still somewhat curious.

"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry. To put it bluntly, do you think we can ascend to the demon realm?"

Liu Qingfeng said casually.

"That's true." Ryoma nodded.

Then, the man and his horse continued to ascend until they saw a huge green fairy gate.

The immortal gate was filled with green light, forming a vortex. In the blink of an eye, Liu Qingfeng and Longma were swallowed up by the green immortal gate.

And so it went, and no one knows how much time passed.

When Liu Qingfeng opened his eyes.

In an instant, hundreds of figures appeared before them.

Each figure exuded an aura of Yao Qi.

As for Ryoma, he was lying on the ground, seemingly still unconscious.

"We pay our respects to the Demon Emperor!"

The voices were unanimous.

In an instant, Liu Qingfeng was stunned.

Demon Emperor?

Yao Qi?

The Demon Realm?

Liu Qingfeng was stunned.

He was stunned.

"Hey! Old Ma, I'm calling you." Liu Qingfeng looked at Old Ma, wanting to say a lot, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. The main reason was that the other party's aura was too terrifying, with each one exuding Yao Qi.

How could a Daoist practitioner withstand such Yao Qi?

"Demon Emperor, you've finally returned!"

An old man slowly walked over, looking at Liu Qingfeng with an excited expression and saying this.

Me? The Demon Emperor?

Liu Qingfeng's gaze remained blank.

He really didn't know how to answer.

This must be a misunderstanding.

He himself is a demon emperor.

I guess they mistook Ryoma for themselves?

But Ryoma is still pretending to be dead, and he can't say anything carelessly. What if he says something carelessly and they kill him?

Liu Qingfeng was terrified.

Then he came up with a solution.

This was a method that Lu Changsheng taught him.

When you find yourself in an extremely unfavorable situation, the first thing to do is not to speak carelessly, because speaking carelessly will definitely bring bad luck. But you also can't remain silent. You should say something nonsensical, something they can't understand, to buy them time.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingfeng slowly spoke.

"Aba! Aba! Aba! Ababa! Ababababa!"

Perhaps because he was a little nervous, Liu Qingfeng stuttered a bit, which made him look somewhat like someone with intellectual disabilities.

Hiss!

Around the altar, hundreds of powerful demons gasped in shock, completely stunned.

The old man, in particular, looked at Liu Qingfeng with utter astonishment.

All the great demons exchanged glances, and the same thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

Is this demon emperor an idiot?

"Abbaba, Abbababa."

Seeing everyone's silence, Liu Qingfeng called out twice more.

Perhaps it wouldn't be good to remain silent forever?

There's been so much going on these past two days, so this counts as two updates from yesterday. Consider it a two-day rest, and I'll adjust my mindset and resume three updates tomorrow.

I don't even dare to ask for monthly votes anymore! But I can only shamelessly continue to beg for some more!

Abba! Abbaba! Abbababa!
