Demon Lord Jueyan, Bloody Ancient Battlefield
Su Zhan manipulated his power, slowly moving upwards to entwine the golden Pearl once more, and this time it was much smoother than the last.
Almost the instant the golden Pearl approached, it generated a powerful suction force, guiding the power of the Cultivation Method to find an opening.
Aim, insert, and then gently rotate; the golden Pearl bursts forth with a dazzling light, releasing a powerful aura.
Several Devil Qi ants near Su Zhan were instantly crushed into Devil Qi.
Su Zhan was preparing to fight back fiercely, but the powerful golden light only brushed past him lightly.
The golden light was extremely powerful, with a wide range and high precision, and it did not harm Su Zhan in the slightest.
Su Zhan only felt a gentle breeze brush past him, but everything within the Sealing Formation's range except for Su Zhan was crushed into powder.
After a wave of energy swept through, and there were no other objects around, the golden light slowly disappeared.
As the Golden Bead disintegrated, the contents inside slowly fell out. Su Zhan then realized that the outer golden Pearl was merely packaging or Sealing Formation; the real treasure was inside—a small, square box.
Su Zhan immediately stepped forward to examine it. This thing looked much larger than the previous Pearl, and he wondered what was inside.
Su Zhan gently opened it, and before he could even see clearly, he felt dizzy.
At this moment, the Devil Race Tribe outside felt the earth shake, and everyone looked in the direction of the Library Pavilion.
Most of the Devil Race civilians were still in shock at what had happened, but several Heavenly Demon Kings and Heavenly Demon Emperor immediately realized that Su Zhan was in trouble.
"What happened! What's going on at the Library Pavilion?"
"How could such a powerful energy suddenly erupt? Wait! Is the Progenitor Successor still inside?"
When they rushed to the Library Pavilion, they found that there was only an empty space left.
The towering building had completely vanished, as if it had never existed, leaving the group speechless.
Su Zhan was sucked in when the box was opened, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself in a pitch-black space.
He shook his head, blinked, and realized he was still there. Was he dreaming?
A voice rang out, saying, "You're not dreaming. Welcome to my world, little one."
Su Zhan saw a transparent figure. What was this thing? It looked a bit like Avatar, but it was more real and vivid than Avatar.
Its facial features are clear, and apart from its slightly ethereal shape, it looks exactly like True Person.
The man said, "No need to look, I am the owner of that Pearl. You can call me Demon Lord Jueyan."
Su Zhan was shocked; so this was the Demon Lord Jueyan.
Su Zhan's eyes lit up. "I just experienced the test you designed, and it was indeed quite ingenious. I benefited greatly from it in just a short time!"
Demon Lord Jueyan: "Haha, of course! Back in the day, I was the most powerful Devil Race here. Even that old ancestor might not have been able to defeat me."
Upon hearing this, White Dragon silently scoffed in the Chat Group.
In White Dragon's eyes, the progenitor was definitely the most powerful Devil Race at the time, but Su Zhan believed him to some extent.
He had personally experienced just how wondrous the power of the Cultivation Method was; he knew to what extent this person could Cultivation Enhancement and utilize it!
The Demon Lord Jueyan never directly confronted the Devil Race Ancestor; otherwise, it's uncertain who would have won.
Su Zhan pondered how to trick this person into revealing all his Cultivation Method and Artifact.
Before he could even speak, Demon Lord Jueyan spoke first:
"You have passed my test and entered my space, so you are now my disciple."
Su Zhan was given absolutely no chance to consider or choose.
Demon Lord Jueyan: "Once you become my disciple, I will teach you well and impart all the knowledge I have acquired in my life to you."
He proceeded smoothly through a series of steps, as if it were the natural course of events.
Fortunately, this was exactly what Su Zhan wanted.
Su Zhan: So when do you plan to teach me?
The man chuckled and said, "Being my disciple isn't easy. Although you passed the first round of tests, that was just an appetizer. There's still rigorous training and trials waiting for you."
"How many years have passed outside? Are the Devil Race still the same as before?"
Su Zhan: "I don't know how many years you've been here, I only know that you've become a legendary figure."
"The Devil Race is no longer the powerful Devil Race of the past. Because their ancestor disappeared, the Devil Race lost its means of control and has now retreated to remote places, suppressing its desires in a low-key manner."
Demon Lord Jueyan sighed, "Even the most powerful races will decline."
Then he burst into laughter. "The Devil Race should have declined long ago. They've become complacent and self-righteous. I told you that old ancestor couldn't hold on at all, yet he still insisted on going his own way."
Su Zhan watched Demon Lord Jueyan alternated between crying and laughing in front of him, sometimes lamenting the former power of the Devil Race, and other times saying that the decline of the Devil Race was inevitable.
He would occasionally make disparaging remarks about the Devil Race Ancestor, indicating that their relationship was quite complex; they were likely sworn enemies who respected each other.
Demon Lord Jueyan: "Since you were born in this era, you must not have witnessed the prosperity of the various races in those days."
"How could my disciple be so ignorant? Let me take you there to see." He finished with a sinister smile.
Su Zhan sensed something was wrong when he saw that smile, and before he could react, the scene in front of him changed again.
He felt his consciousness was about to fade, and muttered to himself, "Again!" before losing consciousness completely.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in an Ancient Battlefield. He didn't see any people attacking or fighting; all he could see were corpses still bleeding.
It looked like a fierce, earth-shattering war had just ended; the corpses lying there included Devil Race, Human Race, and many other races that Su Zhan had never seen before...
The blood of various races mingled together, staining the entire land a glaring red and a nauseating black.
The scene was incredibly shocking; even Su Zhan was momentarily stunned.
He walked mechanically through the pile of corpses, looking left and right. Just as he was getting distracted, he suddenly sensed some movement behind him.
He hurriedly turned around to attack, but his attack passed right through the man's body, and he watched helplessly as the man swung his broadsword at him.
The man's knife pierced through his body and slashed at the person opposite him...
These two defeated soldiers were already at their last gasp, and after a few exchanges, they both fell into the pile of corpses.
Su Zhan leaned closer, gazing at the way they died.
The voice of Demon Lord Jueyan appeared again. "Never seen this before, have you? This is the place where Myriad Races fought back then. It was from this battle that the Devil Race began to decline. All races perished, leaving only a small fraction of them."
