The Thorn of Calamity

Inside the Demon Race's main hall.

Upon learning of the news from the depths of the Demon Refining Lake, the atmosphere in the main hall became extremely heavy.

At the head of the main hall sat two elderly men with white hair and beards.

On their heads, one could vaguely see dragon horns.

These two... were the two Old Ancestor of the Flood Dragon Demon Race.

One Old Ancestor Long Pantian, the other Old Ancestor Long Panyun.

They... were beings of the same generation as the Third Old Ancestor Long Panfeng, who cultivated in the Demon Refining Lake.

They rarely appear in the tribe on ordinary days.

After all, their status was too high; they were all at the Demon Lord level, and almost all of them were in seclusion.

But this time, the matter is of great importance, involving the Demon Refining Lake!

To their left sat two young people, a man and a woman.

The young man had an arrogant expression and also had two tender horns on his head, exuding an extraordinary aura.

He is the "Demon Child," Long Aotian.

The girl was completely different from everyone else in the room. She was stunningly beautiful, wearing a long golden dress, with a faint golden light shimmering in her eyes. The most peculiar thing about her was her ears!

She has six ears, three on each side, small and sparkling, making her look quite adorable.

She is not Flood Dragon Demon Race, but... Six-Eared Macaque Race!

--The Six-Eared Macaque Race possesses the supernatural power to know the passage of time and understand the Divine Ability of the Three Realms. Therefore, the Flood Dragon Demon Race specially invited her to help find the Peerless Fortune Star.

"The Demon Refining Lake is so high-grade that it can even be used to refine Indestructible Demon Body... Our lineage, having obtained this treasure land, should prosper greatly!"

At the head of the table, Long Panyun spoke with a sigh.

The Demon Refining Lake is the most important training ground for the Flood Dragon Demon Race. It is formed by accumulating the death energy of all heavens and can help the Flood Dragon Demon Race cultivate an unparalleled demon body!

Thousands of years ago, they accidentally discovered a Secret Realm from the Secret Realm extremely powerful demonic energy emanated.

Therefore, they drew the demonic power within into the Demon Refining Lake, thereby upgrading its grade.

To this day, the Third Old Ancestor have tested the method with their own bodies and finally proved that the Demon Refining Lake can indeed refine Indestructible Demon Body that is rare in the world.

Indestructible Demon Body... making him extremely renowned among the Demon Race!

This is enough to prove that the current level of the Demon Refining Lake has reached an extremely high level.

For the Demon Race, this was a treasure trove.

However, Long Pantian, who was beside him, let out a long sigh and said:

"However, the demonic power within the third brother cannot be suppressed... Now the only option is to seal him with a grand formation."

"Although the Demon Refining Lake has become a treasure trove, its strange and evil power is difficult to control and remains a major concern..."

The malevolent power emanating from that Secret Realm is a double-edged sword.

While upgrading the Demon Refining Lake, it also brought hidden dangers.

The longer one cultivates, the more demonic and eerie power accumulates, causing the cultivator to become violent, twisted, and even lose their sense of self.

Fortunately, the realm they inhabit is the birthplace of the Lucky Star of the past.

It contains the power of good fortune.

They have always relied on the human figurines offered by the Fu Tian Sect, whose power of vows and good fortune can suppress evil spirits.

But now, with the improvement of the Demon Refining Lake's grade, that eerie demonic power has become even more terrifying... Ordinary human figurines seem to be no longer effective!

"Unless we find the legendary Peerless Fortune Star... only the blood of the Peerless Fortune Star can completely expel that eerie evil!"

Long Pantian spoke solemnly.

This is precisely why they have the Fu Tian Sect constantly searching for Peerless Fortune Star.

The terracotta figures presented by the Fu Tian Sect, though they were themselves people of good fortune, could not compare to the Peerless Fortune Star recorded in history.

"If we can't find the Peerless Fortune Star in time, the Demon Refining Lake will have to remain sealed... Not only will the third brother be unable to emerge, but more importantly, the 'Nine Sons War' within the clan is about to begin. At that time, we fear that the Demon Child of our lineage will be delayed..."

As he spoke, Long Pantian glanced at Long Aotian sitting below.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grave.

The Flood Dragon Demon Race is a giant clan in the Demon Realm.

They were merely a branch of the Flood Dragon Demon Race.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Demon God War, shattering the Demon Realm. Demon Race from all over the world were forced to hide in various places, and their lineage hid in this Great Fortune Star Realm.

The Flood Dragon Demon Race has nine lineages, and each lineage will cultivate one Demon Child. The nine Demon Child will eventually compete, and only one will survive.

The Nine Sons War... was extremely brutal.

If they win, this lineage will achieve the ultimate glory.

The Demon Refining Lake is now extremely important to the Demon Child Long Aotian... It can be said that the success or failure of this lake is related to the future of the entire clan.

And the solution to all problems...

There is only one.

Peerless Fortune Star!

"If the Peerless Fortune Star doesn't appear for a day, am I supposed to keep waiting in vain?!"

Long Aotian couldn't help but slap the chair, stand up, and say:

"I offer up the entire astral plane, may its blessings bless me!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

This... might be the last resort.

Annihilate an entire realm!

"Perhaps it doesn't have to be this way..."

At that moment, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked on and saw that the girl from the Six-Eared Macaque Race had stood up.

She smiled slightly and said:

"I just heard news from the Fu Tian Sect; they seem to have discovered Peerless Fortune Star."

That person's name is Ao Wushuang.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"What?"

"Peerless Fortune Star has appeared?"

"How is that possible!"

Everyone in the room was somewhat incredulous.

"I'm not sure either, but this time, the foreign god mobilized hundreds of star realms to besiege the Great Ruin Realm. None of them returned, and even the god himself was crippled. Only Ao Wushuang was completely unharmed."

The girl spoke softly.

Within this realm, there are no secrets for her.

The appearance of the Chang Dao Heavenly God, etc., were all kept from her from beginning to end.

This is an innate supernatural Divine Ability of the Six-Eared Macaque Race, enabling them to hear the sounds of the three realms and understand the secrets of the universe.

Of course, she can't do that yet; she can only hear all the sounds of this realm.

"If he really is Peerless Fortune Star... then, that's simply a blessing from heaven!"

"Yes... let's go and capture him right now!"

Everyone was excited and couldn't wait.

But the girl smiled slightly and said:

In my opinion, we shouldn't rush things.

"The most urgent task is to confirm whether this person is indeed Peerless Fortune Star."

"If he isn't, what good will it do to capture him? Rashly activating the Demon Refining Lake will only increase casualties."

At the head of the table, Long Pantian nodded and said:

"Girl Cailing is right."

"Zhentu, take that 'Thorn of Calamity'... to the Fu Tian Sect!"

"Keep a close eye on him. If Ao Wushuang can really survive the Thorn of Calamity, it means he is Peerless Fortune Star... There can be absolutely no mistakes!"

His words were cold as he looked down at a middle-aged man.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically!

The Thorn of Calamity...

It should be noted that the reason they were able to discover that Secret Realm containing evil power in the first place was because someone discovered a thorn.

That thorn, its origin unknown, its growth from some unknown thorny bush... yet it carried unparalleled calamity and evil power.

Everyone I came into contact with went insane or died.

For a long time, the Thorn of Calamity has been locked in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and no one has dared to approach it.

Now... are they going to release it?

"If he were Peerless Fortune Star, he could naturally withstand the evil power of the Thorn of Calamity; if not... his death is nothing to regret."

"Yes, it's worth a try!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

If one cannot even withstand the Thorn of Calamity, one is definitely not the legendary Peerless Fortune Star.

Long Zhentu stepped forward and said:

"Yes, sir. Zhentu will do it right away."

He left, and the demons in the hall prepared to disperse as well.

"Two Old Ancestor,"

At this moment, Lu Cailing, a girl from the Six-Eared Macaque Race, suddenly spoke again, saying:

"If this person truly is Peerless Fortune Star, then our agreement..."

Long Pantian glanced at her indifferently and said:

"Princess, please rest assured, we will keep our promise."

"You help us find the Peerless Fortune Star, and we'll give you the Ancestor Demon Stone Token."

--This is an agreement.

The girl from the Six-Eared Macaque Race came to their lineage in search of one thing— the Ancestor Demon Stone Token.

Upon hearing this, Lu Cailing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Inside the Fu Tian Sect.

Three days later will be the day the sect appoints its successor as Sect Master leader.

Today, Sect Master Bai Songming came to the temple to offer prayers.

As soon as he stepped into the temple, a black light appeared.

Suddenly, a jade box appeared within the black light.

"Because of your sincere service, I bestow upon you a treasure... This item can easily destroy an entire realm!"

A cold voice rang out from within the darkness.

Upon hearing this, Bai Songming was immediately stunned.

He took the jade box, and inside the transparent box was a thorn about the thickness of a thumb.

Like something falling off a thorn bush...

This thing can destroy an entire realm?

"However, this object contains malevolent power. Only those with great fortune may wield it; otherwise, touching it will surely lead to death. Remember this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black light vanished.

Upon hearing this, Bai Songming trembled slightly.

"Capable of destroying an entire realm... Whoever possesses the greatest fortune can wield this power?"

A thought immediately popped into his mind.

Today, the people of the Great Fortune Star Realm are filled with anxiety, and the Fu Tian Sect is under unprecedented pressure.

If we could use this item to destroy the Great Ruin Realm...

Then, the world's anger towards the Fu Tian Sect will subside, and at the same time, the Great Fortune Star Realm will have the opportunity to become the center of the Star Wheel...

Why would a great demon bestow such a thing? He didn't know, and he was wary.

But he couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.

There is no other choice!

"Three days from now, on the day of the investiture, the heir to the Sect Master leader, the peerless Peerless Fortune Star Ao Wushuang, will avenge those who died in the Great Ruin Realm... and destroy the Great Ruin Realm!"

He gave the order directly!

He's going to take a gamble!
