Seizing the Demon Mirror (Part Two)

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhuge," the powerful figures under the King Fenghe nodded emphatically upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words. A dozen or so Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage were indeed terrifyingly powerful, but if they could only hold them off for a while, it would be much easier.

"Is that so? Then let them have a good sleep in my Illusionary Realm..." The Illusionary Nether King's peerless face wore a captivating smile.

Aside from Cultivator like Liu Wugu who can restrain it, the Illusionary Nether King's abilities are terrifyingly powerful, especially if it only intends to trap people with the Illusionary Realm.

"Don't worry, I will do my best," the Great Belly Ghost King patted his big belly and chuckled. His ferocious face was filled with compassion, like the Smiling Maitreya. The Fire Control King and the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood beside him also expressed their willingness to do their best.

"Then thank you all very much..." The Demon Clone gratefully, and with a flash, it transformed into a shadow that was too fast for the naked eye to see. The God Slaying Sword in its hand slashed at more than a dozen Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator.

Even without the Sea Calming Divine Needle, Zhuge Xiang's Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer was enough to almost cut a Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator in two with this sword strike. Without lingering in the fight, after using the Three Consecutive Slashes to reposition himself, Zhuge Xiang then launched Explosive Steps, directly passing through the defensive line formed by more than a dozen Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator and entering the Imperial Palace.

"Such terrifying mobility..." The formation formed by more than a dozen Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator was completely ineffective against Zhuge Xiang, a scene that made countless people gasp in shock.

"Chase!" Seeing Zhuge Xiang pass through the defensive circle, Liu Wugu swung his Bone Sword and shouted loudly. More than a dozen Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator hurriedly turned around to give chase to Zhuge Xiang.

"Excuse me, please come and sleep in my Illusionary Realm," the Illusionary Nether King said, flashing forward. Her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, shone with an unusual light. Immediately, half of the dozen or so Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage began to have their eyes glazed over. The Illusionary Nether King had single-handedly controlled seven or eight Great Accomplishment Stage Realm Cultivator with illusion magic, a testament to her astonishing strength.

"Illusionary Nether King!" Seeing Illusionary Nether King single-handedly destroy nearly half of the powerful warriors in an instant, Liu Wugu's eyes blazed with intense rage. His soul, sharp as a sword, fixed on Illusionary Nether King. With his Bone Sword in hand, he flicked his wrist, unleashing a sharp Sword Edge beam towards Illusionary Nether King...

"You, you'd better play with me for a bit..." The Great Belly Ghost King opened his palm and reached out to grab Liu Wugu, while simultaneously blocking Illusionary Nether King's path.

Although she doesn't have any real destructive power, if it's just about holding people back, Illusionary Nether King is indeed the strongest among them, so naturally Great Belly Ghost King has to protect her.

"Kill!" At the same time, other Great Accomplishment Stage Cultivator of the Great Tang Imperial Family, along with the Fire Control Tribe and the powerful figures under King Fenghe, also sprang into action. In an instant, the battle shook the heavens. The fight between dozens of powerful figures caused countless cracks to appear in the Great Tang Imperial Palace, which slowly collapsed and crumbled...

On that day, they were unwilling to take action at the Great Tang Imperial Palace Imperial Palace fear of destroying it. However, today, dozens of powerful figures are fighting with all their Qi Energy. The battle is so intense that even with the protection of the defensive array, the Great Tang Imperial Palace is slowly collapsing and falling. The fall of the Imperial Palace of Imperial Capital that has lasted for thousands of years is a truly magnificent sight...

The Demon Clone paid no heed to the terrifying battle, nor did he have time to. He knew very well that his only task was to find the Demon Mirror. Only by presenting the Great Tang with concrete Evidence that the Great Tang Emperor had been replaced, and only by making the Heavenly Dao realize that the Great Tang Emperor had deceived the heavens, could the Great Tang Dynasty's conquests end.

Otherwise, they would surely be defeated. With such meager strength, how could they possibly overthrow the rule of a dynasty?

The Ancestral Temple, located in the northwest corner of the Great Tang Imperial Palace Ancestral Temple, enshrines the spirit tablets of successive emperors of the Great Tang Imperial Family. Therefore, the Ancestral Temple is usually closed, only opening during imperial sacrifices...

The gate of the Ancestral Temple in the Great Tang Imperial Palace was forcibly kicked open. In fact, the Ancestral Temple itself was not large, just a hall about ten zhang in circumference. Several memorial tablets were placed there, and the incense that had burned for a thousand years was burning. Above the Great Hall, there was a pillar with a carving of a one-horned Jiao Dragon chasing Dragon Pearl.

"This Jiao Dragon is a bit different..." To ordinary people, the Jiao Dragon carved on this pillar should just be a pretty design, but Zhuge Xiang felt something unusual when his gaze fell on Jiao Dragon, because this Jiao Dragon was actually alive.

Sure enough, as Zhuge Xiang barged in, the Jiao Dragon carved on the pillar actually moved its eyes, its gaze locking onto Zhuge Xiang...

The Dragon Spitting Pearl, the dragon Dragon Pearl that this Jiao Dragon was chasing, made Zhuge Xiang pause slightly. The bright pearl was embedded in the pillar. Ordinary people might not have noticed it, but Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye could clearly see that this bright Dragon Pearl was the purpose of his trip: the Demon Mirror!

The Great Tang Emperor had actually embedded Demon Mirror in a pillar of the Ancestral Temple, and even added a Jiao Dragon to create the illusion of Dragon Spitting Pearl, all to deceive people. However, unfortunately, all of this was completely ineffective in Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye. Zhuge Xiang stretched out his palm and directly grabbed at the "Dragon Pearl" on the pillar...

"Roar!" However, since this Jiao Dragon was alive, how could it sit idly by and watch Zhuge Xiang take its Dragon Pearl? With a fierce roar, the Jiao Dragon opened its blood-red maw, its sharp teeth biting down hard on Zhuge Xiang's hand...

"Hmm?" Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly as he watched the Jiao Dragon bite his palm.

This Jiao Dragon is no ordinary creature. I've already Great Accomplishment the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique Fourth Layer; my physical body is incredibly strong. Yet, when this Jiao Dragon bites me, I can actually feel pain?

Zhuge Xiang was astonished by the Jiao Dragon's bite force, unaware that the Jiao Dragon was even more terrified by the sheer toughness of Zhuge Xiang's body. As Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon Jiao Dragon, its Innate Divine Ability lay in the strength of its jaws; legend had it that this Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon could even crush Immortal Artifact...

Although the Gold- Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon sealed on the pillar has not yet reached its strongest stage, nothing has ever been able to withstand its bite force. It has even killed Six-Star Corpse King.

However, when its mouth bit into Zhuge Xiang's arm, it felt as if it had bitten into an incredibly tough rubber band? Its own sharp teeth, which it was so proud of, couldn't even pierce his skin?

"Looks like it has quite a set of teeth..." The Data Eye looked at the Jiao Dragon. It was only Five-star Demon, yet it had such a powerful bite. Zhuge Xiang knew that it must be because the Jiao Dragon's teeth were sharp enough. His eyes were filled with surprise. He didn't expect that in this Ancestral Temple, he would not only get the Demon Mirror, but also have an unexpected gain.

With a jolt, Zhuge Xiang ripped open the Jiao Dragon's mouth, grabbed the Demon Mirror embedded in the pillar, and snapped it off with a sharp blow. Stone chips flew everywhere as Zhuge Xiang broke off the Demon Mirror. After dusting it off, he confirmed that it was indeed an ancient mirror.

This mirror is made of stone on all sides, but the mirror surface itself is made of an unknown material, yet it is incredibly smooth. Around the mirror surface are countless Profound Mysteries Runes, but these Runes do not appear to be man-made; they seem to have been naturally formed when the Demon Mirror appeared...

As Zhuge Xiang's gaze fell upon the Demon Mirror, the Demon Mirror flashed, and Zhuge Xiang's image appeared on its surface. In essence, he was a human. Even when he unleashed his Demon Body, his Demonic Flame raging, the image reflected in the Demon Mirror remained that of Zhuge Xiang's human nature...

"This demon-revealing Demon Mirror is indeed quite good," Zhuge Xiang, putting the Demon Mirror away. His gaze then fell on the Jiao Dragon beside him—or rather, on its sharp Jiao Dragon...

"What... what do you want to do?" The Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon, which had just been so fierce, trembled slightly and shrank back when it saw Zhuge Xiang's malicious gaze. Its voice was filled with undisguised fear as it spoke.

"Hehehe, you might not know, but I'm also an Artifact Forger. So, how could I let go of such excellent forging Jiao Dragon?" Zhuge Xiang said, rubbing his hands together. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the Jiao Dragon -Devouring Flood Dragon.

"No! Don't kill me..." Grabbed in Zhuge Xiang's hand, the Golden-Devouring Flood Dragon struggled frantically, threatening with a fierce but weak voice, "I am the guardian beast ordered by the Great Tang Emperor Ancestral Temple. If you kill me, the entire Great Tang Empire will become your enemy."

"Hehehe, since I dared to rush in and take the Demon Mirror today, what else would I be afraid of?" Without saying another word, Zhuge Xiang grabbed the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon and squeezed Jiao Dragon head hard, causing the dragon to grimace in pain.

Grasping the Jiao Dragon's sharp teeth, Zhuge Xiang's hand moved with lightning speed. Zhuge Xiang ripped off all thirty-six sharp teeth from both the upper and lower rows, each tooth being half an inch long.

"Waaaaah..." With its proud teeth pulled out, the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon closed its mouth and wailed pitifully. Its eyes were filled with fear as it looked at Zhuge Xiang. This guy was a complete demon.

No wonder the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon is so afraid of Zhuge Xiang now. Its proud teeth can't even break through his skin. How could the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon not be afraid?

Furthermore, for the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon, its most prized tooth was as important as its own manhood. Zhuge Xiang pulling out its tooth was like severing a man's manhood; in the Ancient Gold-Devouring Flood Dragon's heart, Zhuge Xiang was a complete demon. (To be continued...)
