Ling Xiao snapped out of his reverie, resolutely refusing to believe that he was thinking that way; it was simply a case of Heart Demon trying to shift the blame onto him.
As expected of Heart Demon, truly shameless.
Absolutely shameless!
"Master, great and wise master, are you tired of standing? Come and sit on the pony's back."
The Netherworld Heavenly Horse wagged its tail and came up like a lapdog, flattering him.
"You're very good."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and patted his horse's head in approval.
This guy didn't choose to betray him, and whatever the reason, he deserves praise.
"Of course, of course."
Golden Horn Dao Lord nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go! Continue the treasure hunt." Ling Xiao gave the order, and everyone prepared to set off.
Suddenly, an indescribable aura, a soul-shaking will, enveloped them and the entire world, followed by a magnificent voice.
"Ah... my eyes, where are my eyes? Give me back my eyes..."
The voice suddenly rang out, spreading throughout the multiverse, enveloping the ruins in countless barriers, and even penetrating into the Mythic Battlefield outside.
Instantly, countless creatures seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, all looking in the same direction.
It sounded like the end of the world, and they also heard a complex mix of resentment, evil, hatred, and confusion within it.
"Eyes? What eyes?"
Some people were looking into the depths of the ruins, where there was a black phantom, a shadow lying across the multiverse, a colossal figure that suppressed all the heavens and myriad worlds.
Where his eyes should have been, there was nothing but emptiness, with only two lines of bloody tears hanging from them.
"The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor! The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor! It is said that during his great battle with the Realm Lord, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor Underworld shattered the sun and moon of the True Realm. Therefore, after his death, the Realm Lord gouged out his eyes and refined them into the sun and moon of the True Realm!"
"The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor is searching for his eyes! What should we do? Should we steal the sun and moon from the True Realm?"
"Are you fucking stupid? You'd just give it to him because he wants it? This guy is a notorious villain. In his lifetime, countless lives were lost at his hands. His crimes are heinous and beyond description!"
Within the ruins, all the powerful figures were in an uproar, gazing at the illusory figure deep within, discussing it endlessly.
"Could the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor still be alive? That would be terrifying!"
"Impossible! Back then, it was the Lord of the Law Realm who personally took action. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't escape death!"
"The Law Realm? That should be completely dead!"
Gradually, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's voice faded, and nameless black flames ignited on his body, transforming into scriptures that drifted to all corners of the world.
"What is this? The Evil Emperor's legacy?" A powerful figure asked curiously, immediately Jieyin the scriptures and attempt to absorb them.
However, the moment he touched the black scripture, he was instantly ignited.
"Ah! Get away! Get away now!"
He let out a shrill scream, trying to dispel the black flames on his body, but no matter how he resisted, it was all in vain. He was soon reduced to a handful of black ash, leaving only a few ashes.
"Holy crap! What the hell is that?"
The creatures who witnessed this scene were terrified. They were also trying to grab a handful of the black fire that had transformed into the scripture to study it, but thankfully they were too slow.
The black scriptures, like snowflakes, drifted down to every corner of the ruins.
Great Thousand Dao Child watched the scriptures fall, he simply raised his hand and waved it, creating a whirlwind that blew all the scriptures away.
"Lord Daozi, is the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor going to kill everyone who has entered the ruins?"
The simp saintess asked with a worried expression.
Upon hearing this, Great Thousand Dao Child smiled slightly and said, "On the contrary, this is a test from the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor."
These black flames are the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's most powerful technique. In my opinion, he is choosing a successor.
"The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's strongest technique?"
His men behind him all lit up.
"The ultimate technique of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor belongs to none other than Lord Daozi!"
"With Lord Daozi's strength, becoming the successor of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor is more than enough!"
Absolutely!
The subordinates frantically flattered him, all happy for their master.
"Heh..." Great Thousand Dao Child chuckled disdainfully, "I don't care about the successor of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor, but I'm determined to obtain this ultimate technique."
"That's right, that's right. Daozi is the successor of the Great Thousand Dao Palace. The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor, such a heretical and unorthodox sect, is not worthy of Daozi at all."
His subordinates wholeheartedly agreed.
"Let's go! I suspect the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor's ultimate technique is with the shadowy figure."
The Great Thousand Dao Child said calmly, his aura becoming increasingly transcendent, resonating with the laws of the Great Dao, and soaring majestically into the depths of the ruins.
At the same time, powerful figures from all sides also discovered something unusual. Although the sky full of black flames was dangerous, the allure of the opportunity was even more irresistible.
Jun Xiaoyao, Changsheng Wuji, Jian Xingchen, Hundred Tribulations Zhenjun, Lord of Myriad Demons of the Thousand Autumn Realm.
And Yan Shuitian, Divine Butterfly Princess.
The twin goddesses of the Garo Twin Palace, the Instant Monk King.
Xia Qinghou, the female war goddess of the Kingdom of Gods.
The Lord Wuyou reclines on Gourd.
The clouds stirred from all directions as numerous powerful figures, in large groups, advanced towards the dark figure.
At this moment, as the true fire on the black figure burned, his body grew smaller and smaller until it gradually disappeared, leaving only a black scripture lying there quietly.
Below was a massive black hole vortex, and the scriptures were slowly sinking.
"Holy crap! It's appeared! This must be the strongest technique cultivated by the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor!"
"Quickly, quickly, the scriptures are about to be swallowed by that vortex!"
"As far as I know, the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor was able to reach this point without this scripture!"
On the other side, Mu Tianqing looked at the scriptures that had appeared, a look of longing flashing across her face. Even she, as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, could not ignore the most precious inherited scriptures of the Yellow Springs Evil Emperor.
"The Yellow Springs Evil Emperor True Scripture?"
Ling Xiao paused for a moment, then asked calmly.
"Indeed, the Daoist techniques I gleaned from the Ancient Mind Beast were nothing more than child's play. This is the truly valuable stuff!"
Mu Tianqing nodded, her beautiful face full of seriousness. "Even the sect leader of the Primal Demon Sect cannot ignore the allure of this true scripture."
"In that case, I must obtain this scripture!" Ling Xiao said suddenly, looking at the black scripture.
"Pfft..."
Mu Tianqing smiled, her smile as radiant as the sun.
"You're really not being polite, you're making it sound so real."
"If the two of us join forces, there might be a sliver of a chance; otherwise, forget about it. Some powerful individuals are even difficult for me to deal with, let alone you."
She patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, indicating her intention to cooperate.
"True scriptures do not serve two masters," Ling Xiao said quietly, his eyes blazing with divine light.
"I'll only get stronger on my own; I don't need to team up with anyone!"
"You..."
Hearing this, Mu Tianqing was so angry that she couldn't speak.
I've never seen this kind of elm stump before.
"Hmph! Wait till you suffer a great loss, then you'll be begging to cooperate with me!"
Mu Tianqing fell silent, her heart filled with resentment.
