This village is nestled on the back side of the mountains.
The towering mountains blocked out the sun.
Only when the sun is about to set will the sunlight shine down.
The village's name comes from the afterglow of the setting sun.
Afterglow Village.
This is just an Mortal Village; nobody will care about it...
Lu Changsheng led Xiao Hei into the village.
It was sunset.
The last rays of the setting sun bathed the village in its glow.
However, this village was extremely quiet.
The sound of wind rustling through the leaves,
It made a rustling sound.
This is the only sound in this village now.
The silence was almost eerily quiet.
Lu Changsheng looked around.
No one was found.
And faintly, one could even sense a Demonic Intent!
It floats slowly in the air.
"Is nobody here?"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.
The air swept across the village.
Something has been discovered.
The house at the very front.
This house is different from other small houses made of wood.
Made of stone.
It is two stories high.
It's still a duplex...
It seems that the person who once lived here was a village chief or similar figure in Afterglow Village.
Inside this stone house, Lu Changsheng could sense an aura far stronger than that of ordinary people.
Even more interesting is...
The aura of the black stone eventually vanished within this stone house.
Now, after Xiao Hei entered Afterglow Village.
The Dark Demon energy surrounding his body seemed to merge with the black mist in the air at this moment.
They merged and integrated.
They are mutually attracted.
As Lu Changsheng led Xiao Hei, they quickly approached the stone house.
The closer they got, the more the Dark Demon energy on Xiao Hei's body trembled!
At the same time, it is also exacerbating Xiao Hei's pain!
The willow leaf that the Willow Tree gave him is on his chest.
It is emitting a soft green light.
It suppressed the demonic nature within Xiao Hei.
That way, he won't go insane.
After entering the stone house.
The tightly locked wooden door suddenly shattered!
A black figure reached out with both hands.
On both hands, fingernails pierced through each finger like sharp claws!
Two pairs of black claws formed, viciously grabbing at Lu Changsheng!
Lu Changsheng's expression remained calm, as if he had already noticed.
Stand still, extend one hand.
It held the head of the black figure down.
This person was completely shrouded in black aura, making it impossible to tell whether they were human or ghost.
However, given Lu Changsheng's strength, he could see it.
His mind was consumed by Demonic Intent.
Just like Xiao Hei.
He went into a state of madness and became a killing machine that only knew how to kill!
It must be caused by that black stone...
Intent of Unending Life emanated from Lu Changsheng's hands.
It enveloped the black figure.
It continuously purified the black figure.
The black mist, purified by the Intent of Unending Life, began to hiss.
Like the sound of boiling oil splashing.
From within the black mist, screams of pain echoed continuously.
Those slightly bloody claws kept reaching for Lu Changsheng.
However, it could not break through the encirclement of the Intent of Unending Life.
A few breaths have passed.
The black mist that had enveloped the figure had been completely purified.
What was revealed was an old man.
The old man's eyes were sunken.
He had only a few sparse white hairs on his head.
His body was hunched over.
Those two sharp claws also began to slowly retract into their fingers.
Then, she glanced at Lu Changsheng, her eyes showing confusion.
Then came the large, bean-sized tears.
Tears streamed down from the old man's sunken eye sockets.
"It's gone... it's all gone..."
As if he could no longer hold on, the old man fainted.
That's true. How could a mortal remain sober after going into a state of madness?
It would be good enough if they didn't die from exhaustion immediately.
Lu Changsheng quickly helped the old man up.
He took out a pill, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it on the old man's body.
moment.
White light appeared on the old man's chest.
It is repairing and improving the elderly person's body.
At the same time, Lu Changsheng sent out a Intent of Unending Life into the old man's brow.
Repairing that severely damaged sea of consciousness...
After doing all this.
Lu Changsheng then led Xiao Hei into the stone house.
In the center of the stone house.
The black stone was placed on the altar.
Offerings were also placed all around.
But those tributes...
White, bare bones.
Blood-red, even beginning to rot and turn black, chunks of flesh...
And a heart that has stopped beating.
A head with wide-open eyes...
Like some kind of ritual performed by evil people.
Extremely bloody and cruel...
Black Stone was surrounded by these so-called tributes.
At the same time, it exudes a hint of demonic power.
Perhaps the old man's descent into madness was due to being infected by this demonic influence...
With a soft sigh, he took the black stone.
It was placed in front of Xiao Hei.
There seems to be a connection.
In an instant, the black stone transformed into a black stream of light and entered Xiao Hei's brow!
This moment.
A brilliant black light shone from Xiao Hei's body!
The seal loosened, revealing blank memories.
At this moment, it was filled by the black stone.
One by one, long-sealed memories are opened, like a box.
Emerging!
"Brother, if you're not strong enough, don't come looking for me."
"Hehe, Lord Devil God, we have been planning this for millions of years, and now, we have finally succeeded."
"From now on, I will take over the control of the Demon Realm from you..."
elder brother?
Devil God?
Demon Realm?
There are still plans?
Xiao Hei looked at the fragments of memories flashing through his mind.
He knew that this memory was still incomplete.
Based on just a few fragmented images, it's impossible to know what exactly happened before.
And in the end of memory.
It was a canyon filled with a gray atmosphere.
The canyon is filled with countless skeletons.
In that depth, there dwells countless Devil Creature!
At the entrance to the canyon, Xiao Hei can see a stone tablet.
Two characters can be faintly seen on the stone tablet.
The Demon Abyss...
this?
Could this be the location of the next fragment of memory?
Or are those people actually in this Demon Abyss?
Xiao Hei opened its eyes.
Look at the roof.
"No matter what, I need to go to this Demon Abyss."
Demon Abyss?
Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Hei's words.
What place is this?
Having been in the Wilderness Realm for some time, Xiao Hei knew that the Demon Abyss was probably not the location of this realm.
Lu Changsheng patted Xiao Hei on the shoulder and said, "Now that you're awake, let's deal with things here. After all, this whole thing started because of you."
Xiao Hei nodded.
The sun sets.
It rose as usual the next day.
However, Afterglow Village is located on the back side of the mountain range.
Even when the sun rises, it cannot receive direct sunlight at this moment.
It's still somewhat gloomy.
The old man slowly regained consciousness.
When he woke up, he looked around, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
He hoped that what had happened before was just a dream.
However, upon seeing the deserted village, with only the white-robed man who had last appeared in her memory, she realized...
Despair returned to his eyes.
"It's gone... it's all gone..."
"It's all because of that black stone..."
