The artillery fire was deafening!
A towering column of water shot straight up to the Nine Heavens!
boom!
With a deafening roar, the Secret Pool was shattered!
Thick black smoke billowed and spread, enveloping the entire Nine-Star Cold Pool.
The world was in turmoil, as if it were the Doomsday.
Under the cover of black mist, two figures staggered out of the Nine-Star Cold Pool and escaped from the Peak of Heaven!
Gu Yu!
Feng Luo!
They didn't dare stop until they reached a deep, remote mountain forest.
Gu Yu, panting heavily, said, "Thank goodness, I escaped death!"
Feng Luo turned around and saw the deserted mountain path, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Where's that brat?!"
Gu Yu's expression changed!
Feng Luo's pupils shrank. "That guy isn't dead, is he?! Ugh, ugh, ugh, what a jinx!"
The two waited for a while, but Yao Cang still did not appear to join them.
Feng Luo turned to look. "After leaving Peak of Heaven, this is the only road we can take. He will definitely see us after he comes out, but now... and judging from the power of Yao Cang's self-destruction just now, I'm afraid... he's been reduced to nothing..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu trembled violently, collapsed to the ground, and burst into tears, sobbing, "It's over! That guy self-destructed! How the hell am I going to explain this to Master?! Master couldn't have sent him here to die, could he?!"
Feng Luo also felt uneasy.
He comforted him, saying, "Fate is unpredictable..."
Gu Yu said, "I dare not return to the Jade Pivot Sect. If I cannot bring Yao Cang back, I will commit suicide to atone for my sins!"
"Damn it, don't act impulsively!"
Feng Luo panicked.
Gu Yu took out the Emperor Beginning Sword and was about to slit his own throat.
They were ready to die for their cause.
Startled, Feng Luo rushed over and desperately tried to stop him.
The two men were fighting over a sword.
Gu Yu said, "Don't stop me, I can't explain this to my master!"
Feng Luo said, "Originally only one was supposed to die, but now two are dead. What are you expecting Brother Xie to do?"
The two continued their tug-of-war.
Just then, a figure drifted over, stood to the side, arms crossed, and rolled his eyes.
"I'm still alive!"
"You brat!"
The two turned around simultaneously, and Feng Luo breathed a long sigh of relief.
Gu Yu threw down the Emperor Beginning Sword, bursting into tears of joy. "Damn it, that little brat scared the hell out of me!"
Yao Cang sneered, "Are you even a man? Always crying like that!"
Hearing this, Feng Luo scoffed, "Can't men cry? Who said that?"
Yao Cang rolled his eyes. "That's what the older generation said!"
Feng Luo curled her lip. "Bullshit rules! I'll still be talking nonsense when I'm old!"
At this moment, Gu Yu wiped away a cold sweat and asked, " Yao Cang, how did you survive? I remember you clearly self-destructed... Don't scare me!"
Yao Cang said, "Why do you think my teacher allowed me to come? And why, as Demon-Burying Demon, did my mother trust me to come to the Fifth Universe with a human teacher? Because I cultivated a powerful Secret Method! The Nirvana Dao Art!"
"After using this Secret Method, I can transform my body into a cannonball, creating a self-destructive force. However, I can revive very quickly! The side effect is that I'm in excruciating pain all over my body now, and it takes me ten days to half a month to recover each time!"
"This Secret Method is truly invincible!" Feng Luo's eyes widened, filled with both envy and shock.
This is practically cheating!
He rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Hey, little brother, can I learn this Nirvana Dao Art?"
Yao Cang looked him up and down, then shook his head.
"It must be learned by a member of the Demon-Burying Clan Clan's royal family, and they must start learning at the age of one. Moreover, there are many risks involved, and it's not something that can be learned all at once. I almost died several times back then."
"That's too harsh, forget it."
Hearing him say that, Feng Luo suddenly felt disheartened.
Gu Yu sprang to his feet with a somersault. "Since everything's alright, we can go back now!"
Xie Feng accepted Nalan Yan's invitation and arrived at the Divine Secrets Pavilion.
The two entered the secret room.
Standing before a giant crystal ball, Nalan Yan stretched out his finger and gently traced its surface.
"Young Master Xie, I invited you here because I want to show you something."
"What?"
"Didn't you ask me to find out why the Emperor Phoenix Clan is maintaining stability in the Fifth Universe? I've found it!"
What's the reason?
"Due to years of hatred, the Demon-Burying Clan Emperor Phoenix Clan have always been rivals and enemies. Throughout the long history, countless events have occurred, eventually leading to a pattern where the Demon-Burying Clan Demon Clan resides outside the universe, while the Emperor Phoenix Clan resides within it."
As Nalan Yan spoke, he continued to pour energy into the crystal ball.
The sphere gradually emitted a pale blue light.
She paused, and seeing Xie Feng listening attentively, continued, "In the Fifth Universe, there is also a lot of dark matter that affects stability. The Emperor Phoenix Clan mainly feeds on the Demon-Burying Demon and dark matter."
"These things all contain certain toxins. If they accumulate in the body, the Emperor Phoenix Clan will gradually die because they cannot suppress these toxins. They maintain the normal operation of the Fifth Universe order by sacrificing their own lives in this way."
"I continued my investigation and found that in ancient history, there were two other races that were natural Demon-Burying Clan. One was the Chaos Clan, and the other was the Divine Dragon Clan. The Chaos Clan appeared for a very short time in the history of the Fifth Universe, and there are no existing records of them. This makes me reasonably suspect that this race is not a native race of the Fifth Universe, and that the Fifth Universe is just a place they passed through."
"As for the other Divine Dragon Clan, historical records are also vague. It is only said that they also feed on Demon-Burying Demon, and even have stronger digestive systems so they do not accumulate toxins! However, they were wiped out tens of thousands of years ago. At present, the Emperor Phoenix Clan is still the only nemesis of the Demon-Burying Clan."
"Finally, I want to say that while the Emperor Phoenix Clan has made indelible contributions to the peace of the Fifth Universe, it has also been frantically depleting the lives of its inhabitants. Moreover, their resistance against the Demon-Burying Clan is not only for the sake of the people in the Fifth Universe, but also to maintain their own interests and dominance!"
"From their perspective, if the Fifth Universe were to let the Demon-Burying Clan in to get a share of the spoils, given that the difference in strength between the two races wasn't that significant, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house!"
" The Emperor Phoenix Clan merely treats the Fifth Universe as their own territory, and the Holy Spirits within as their pets or slaves! Those who submit to them prosper, those who oppose them perish! Their lifelong mission is to unite as one, resist the Demon-Burying Demon from the outside, and subjugate the people from within!"
Nalan Yan was somewhat agitated, and the huge crystal ball in her hand was gradually filling with blue light.
The energy-condensed mist spreads from inside the crystal ball, forming a misty, Cloud Mountain landscape.
"I have read through a lot of information about all the rulers of the Emperor Phoenix Clan, studying their personalities and lives. I have discovered that the Phoenix Lord is most suitable to fight against the Demon-Burying Clan has already appeared!"
"If this Phoenix Lord had remained in power until today, he certainly wouldn't have led the Fifth Universe to this extreme state of Demon-Burying Demon invasion and fertile land stained with blood!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who is this person?"
