Amidst the friendly greetings of the demons, Shendu finally revealed his plan to escape using the Drago.
After assessing the feasibility of the plan, the other seven demons also thought it was a good idea. They all expressed their willingness to lend a hand, on the condition that the plan be pulled through. Otherwise, they would monitor the Shendu Shendu 24 hours a day and do everything in their power to stop him should he have a chance to escape Hell.
Left with no other choice, the Shendu had to grant his brothers' and sisters' requests, and generously offered to be the last to escape from Hell.
However, with the help of other demons, the Drago's growth rate has also increased dramatically. After all, compared to Shendu's own fire magic, with the support of the magic of the other seven demons, the future Drago will be more powerful, more versatile, and have fewer weaknesses.
Especially now that Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung have broken a little bit of the seal, they can project more power from Hell into the human world more easily.
Thus, the demons, who were originally bored in Hell, now have a new form of entertainment besides fighting the Shendu: observing the growth of the Drago.
In addition to the eight demons taking turns feeding their power to the Drago through the loosened seals of Xiao Fung and Bai Tsa, they also guided the little dragon to find the fragmented power left behind in the human world by the previous demons.
Some of that power was lost in the battle against the Eight Immortals, while some was extracted from hell by various great sorcerers through their own means after they were sealed away.
Although those powers were eventually sealed away by the mages because they contained indelible emotional undertones, it is now just right to use them to feed the Drago.
After all, the demons also know about the balance between good and evil. While nurturing the Drago, they also try their best not to create any additional evil, for fear that their actions might further strengthen Bai Sui's power.
In fact, the demons attributed Bai Sui's immense power to the Shendu, believing that he had disrupted the balance of good and evil by trying to regain his power through various means, which led to Shendu Bai Sui's birth.
After all, there's not much else to explain Bai Sui's appearance, because his strength has already exceeded the scope of previous archmages.
Faced with his many brothers and sisters, the Shendu was also at a loss for words and could not say anything in the end, so he had no choice but to obediently admit his mistake.
Meanwhile, Bai Sui was making final preparations, using domestic resources to easily inscribe corresponding arrays around the world. After all, the disasters caused by those two demons had severely damaged the entire world, and China was one of the few countries with the capacity to provide assistance abroad.
As for the so-called Drago, it had long been under Bai Sui's surveillance. After all, unlike the previous three demons who hid in another dimension, the Drago lived openly on Earth, which naturally could not escape Bai Sui's inspection.
However, Bai Sui did not interfere with the other party, after all, the appearance of the Drago was an important part of what Bai Sui had been waiting for.
Bai Sui watched as the little Drago grew stronger day by day. Thanks to the feeding from the eight demons, the Drago could not only use the Shendu's fire, but also inherited the abilities of the other seven demons.
Now, under the influence of the eight demonic powers, the appearance of the Drago has begun to change drastically. The original Shendu did not look much like a dragon, but more like a jiao (a type of dragon-like creature), while the Drago has gone a step further and looks like a lizard.
However, the current Drago, under the complete power of the demon, is increasingly transforming into a crocodile dragon. Although its appearance has become ugly and terrifying, it has also inexplicably gained a kind of Haki, no longer resembling a green lizard from a distance as before.
Looking at the Drago now, Bai Sui found it more pleasing to the eye; at least the little dragon now looked somewhat like a major villain.
Bai Sui is actually trying to figure out how to get the Drago to actively absorb the power of the eight demons. After all, through the active feeding of the eight demons, the Drago has now completely formed a connection with the eight demons and can directly swallow the eight demons into its body through the seal.
When the eight demons combine their powers, the resulting Drago will inevitably become the greatest evil in the world since its inception. In order to maintain the balance between good and evil, it will naturally give rise to the same good.
Creating such great good is also a burden on the world itself, which is the best time for Bai Sui to take action against the world.
As for whether Bai Sui Bai Sui can deal with the ultimate Drago, formed by the fusion of the eight demons, he is not worried at all. The reason is that after obtaining all the inheritances of the Eight Immortals, Bai Sui made contact with Pure Yang Real Person.
Or perhaps it was merely a connection established with a clone of the Pure Yang Real Person, since the other party was only a consciousness residing within the Eight Immortals' Mark, awakening only after Bai Sui had collected the complete Eight Immortals' inheritance.
Through communication with Pure Yang Real Person's consciousness, Bai Sui confirmed his idea: after the Eight Immortals Awakening their innate wisdom, they quickly regained their power and successfully killed the eight great demons who ruled the world at that time.
As it turned out, the Eight Immortals discovered that the death of the eight great demons was not an end, but rather a beginning. With the fall of the eight great demons, the world spontaneously gave birth to more evil.
These evils are more insane and irrational than the Eight Great Demons, knowing only the most primal killing and desires. They relentlessly attack the Eight Immortals, and no matter how many are killed by the Eight Immortals, the world breeds more evils to oppose them.
If it were just endless evil, it wouldn't be a problem for the Eight Immortals, since their existence was the upper limit of this world, and dealing with evil would be a piece of cake. However, the Eight Immortals soon discovered a problem: as more and more evil was bred, the world became weaker and weaker, and eventually the world was heading towards its own demise.
Left with no other choice, the Eight Immortals used their supreme power to reverse time and space, pulling the eight demons who had already been slain back from the brink of death.
Because the eight demons still possessed normal reason, they did not immediately come out to their deaths, which finally stopped the world from continuing to breed evil. Perhaps impressed by the efficiency of the Eight Immortals ' abilities, which could remedy irreversible damage at any time, the world expended some of its power to simulate the Eight Immortals ' ability to reverse time and space, creating a Book of Ages.
Having witnessed the world spiral out of control before, the Eight Immortals, even though the Eight Demons themselves possessed reason, still felt uneasy. Furthermore, to prevent any descendant from losing control and killing them, they set up this seal.
They created a separate space out of thin air and placed the eight demons into it to prevent them from interfering with the world and to prevent the eight demons trapped in the space from killing each other.
The Eight Immortals used their supreme power to place the Book of Ages as an array, imbuing the eight demons with an indestructible protection.
To put it simply, this set of seals is the record of the rule of the eight great demons' immortality in the Book of Ages. It is also through the power of the Book of Ages that all the demons can live forever.
The spells used to seal the eight demons back to hell are actually quite simple. They are the corresponding rules that the Eight Immortals had inscribed in the Book of Ages beforehand. Each corresponding magic weapon corresponds to a demon. As long as the corresponding magic weapon is activated by True Magic, it is equivalent to directly triggering the corresponding text in the Book of Ages.
Originally, the Eight Immortals wanted to stay in this world a little longer to find a way to completely solve the problem of the balance between good and evil in the world. However, their very existence was equivalent to the world having endless good. Although the existence of the Eight Great Demons prevented the birth of evil, the world also ceased to give birth to any good.
This resulted in all life born at that time being neither good nor evil, or leaning towards evil, which was not what the Eight Immortals wanted, so they were forced to leave the world.
However, they still had some lingering concerns about this world, so Pure Yang Real Person left behind a wisp of his consciousness, hoping to find an opportunity in the future to see if he could resolve the problems of this world.
It can only be said that it was fate. The Secret of the Golden Flower that Bai Sui cultivated in his previous life and the Lingbao Bifa that he has learned in this life are both inseparable from the Pure Yang Real Person.
Although what Bai Sui practiced was different from what was originally described, the consciousness of the Pure Yang Real Person sensed it in the darkness. This was why Bai Sui felt something was attracting him at the time; it was the consciousness of the Pure Yang Real Person that was calling to Bai Sui.
Although in Pure Yang Real Person's view, Bai Sui's current cultivation level was still somewhat low, he was still able to barely help Pure Yang Real Person complete this final operation.
After all, the Eight Immortals were already at a high level, but when they tried to separate good from evil in the world, they faced an obstacle: all their Dharma Power came from the world's supply, so under the resistance of the world's origin, their power could not be exerted.
Eight Immortals needed at that time was not the emergence of several more immortals like themselves, but rather external forces like Bai Sui.
According to the discussion between Bai Sui and Pure Yang Real Person, the final decision was to promote the growth of the Drago, ideally allowing him to directly obtain the full power of the eight great demons. If that was not possible, Pure Yang Real Person would directly reverse the original seal and use the Book of Ages to make the Drago the ultimate demon.
So Bai Sui then seized the time to consult with Pure Yang Real Person, asking him all sorts of questions about cultivation, since such opportunities were rare.
As for the growth of the Drago, let him improve on his own. In any case, the Drago doesn't dare to cause trouble now. He has been obediently lying low, trying various ways to break the seal on the eight demons and release them from hell.
However, now that the Pure Yang Real Person, the creator of the original seal, has appeared, all attempts have been in vain. Not only have they failed to save any demon from hell, but they have also caused the eight great demons to use even more of their magic power to feed the Drago.
After all, they never imagined that every seal that seemed just a hair's breadth away from being broken was actually being manipulated directly by Pure Yang Real Person behind the scenes, with the aim of making them believe that the problem lay with the power of the Drago.
After all, deep down, none of the eight demons trusted each other, and none of them wanted the Drago to release only one demon while simultaneously breaking the seals on all eight. They themselves knew how difficult this task was.
So although the eight demons blamed each other after each encounter, their enthusiasm never waned, after all, this was arguably the closest they had ever come to freedom.
As for whether the Drago might become an ultimate demon king surpassing them due to the magic they fed it, the eight demons never even considered this, after all, they had been sealed and protected for too long.
Although the encounters of the demons Bai Tsa and Xiao Fung made them understand once again the protection the seal provided, this mindset, ingrained over countless years, couldn't be easily reversed so quickly.
In the minds of these demons, they are still the same immortal demons who never age or die. They don't even realize that what they are pursuing now—breaking the seal—is stripping them of their immortality. Or perhaps they know it, but their consciousness is too slow to grasp it.
They walked step by step into the trap that Bai Sui and Pure Yang Real Person had dug for them, and they flocked to it.
On the contrary, Bai Sui now hopes that Xiao Long's growth rate can be a little slower. After all, according to the plan the two of them discussed before, the final step of separating the world's good and evil requires the full power of this Pure Yang Real Person's consciousness. Once everything is completed, the consciousness will also dissipate.
The consciousness itself had no particular thoughts about this, after all, this was its purpose in staying in this world. Bai Sui, on the other hand, felt it was quite a pity, since this was the first fellow Bai Sui had ever met, the first senior ancestor he had ever seen.
Seeing that he couldn't change the final outcome, Bai Sui had no choice but to seize the time and try his best to communicate with this consciousness, expressing all his doubts.
However, this was by no means a simple matter. After all, Bai Sui had been cultivating for hundreds of years, and there were far too many problems accumulated over those years. Even if Pure Yang Real Person had a commanding perspective and could easily grasp the key points of Bai Sui's problems, he still couldn't overcome the sheer number of issues Bai Sui had.
In addition, most of the cultivation was explored by Bai Sui on his own, which led to many unconscious deviations, requiring a complete overhaul from the basics.
