Before anyone knew it, a large number of strange insects had gathered around him, their eyes sending chills down one's spine.
"What is this...?"
Ancestor Fuyun felt a chill run down his spine. Anyone who could raise such terrifying insect-like beasts must be an ancient and powerful being.
As for why such a being exists in the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, he had no idea.
"Fortunately... I was merely an avatar. Even if I die, my true self remains. It's just a pity that I can no longer send messages from this place out..."
As the " Ancestor Fuyun " struggled in the Chaos void of the Primordial Beginning Banner, feeling the despair-inducing power, a sense of relief welled up in his heart.
However, the very next second that this thought arose in his mind—
Mutation and Regeneration!
The Chaos void within the Primordial Beginning Banner trembled violently, and the hazy air rippled like water as yet another figure appeared beside him.
The figure was a white-haired man with blood-red eyes. At this moment, his face was deathly pale, his body was filled with chaotic demonic energy, and his eyes were filled with boundless horror and absurdity.
It was the true form of the Ninth Heavenly Devil.
He recalled what had just happened: a giant hand appeared from the void, a will that seemed to originate from the Great Dao that directly locked onto his true form, disregarding all his concealment and escape techniques, and as if grabbing a chick, lifted him directly from his hiding place to this place!
He is a master of the Great Dao of Illusion, his aura is extremely concealed, and he is confident that even a being at the Hunyuan Taiji Realm might not be able to find him easily...
How is that possible?
The Ninth Heavenly Devil's true form and its avatar stared at each other, both seeing the same shock in the other's eyes.
Only now did they truly understand what level of beings they were facing!
Han Xuanji sat upright on the Chaos Azure Lotus, a smile playing on his lips.
Having made his move, how could he possibly let its true form escape?
The reason they had let the Fourth Heavenly Devil go before was because they thought the other party was quite sensible.
This guy's got some nerve. Knowing he's right here in the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, he still sends an avatar to test him. If we let him continue, wouldn't we be asking him to piss on our heads?
As for the method of capturing the opponent, it is a newly comprehended Divine Ability, Reversing Effect into Cause.
It can be said that this is not much different from saying something and having it become law, or wishing something and having it come true.
This is the power of Hunyuan Taiji expert; it surpasses the understanding of ordinary cultivators and leads directly to the Great Dao.
Of course, not all experts at the Hunyuan Taiji level can do this.
Tell me, where do you come from?
Han Xuanji's voice rang out, startling the Ninth Heavenly Devil.
"May I ask your name, sir? I am Devil Ancestor's Nine Guards, the Ninth Heavenly Devil! My offense today was unintentional. I beg you, sir, to show mercy for the sake of the Devil Ancestor!"
Suppressing his fear, the Ninth Heavenly Devil Demon revealed his final trump card in the most respectful tone.
His true form had been captured, so he dared not hide it.
The name of the Devil Ancestor resounded throughout the Chaos, and he believed that any powerful being would have to think twice before acting.
However, the only response he received was the increasingly excited, almost uncontrollable hissing of the Dao-Devouring Insect.
Han Xuanji's silence was more suffocating than the chirping of insects around her.
The Ninth Heavenly Devil's heart sank to the bottom.
The other party... doesn't care about the title of Devil Ancestor at all!
"I see you have absolutely no self-awareness..."
Han Xuanji's voice drifted over, devoid of any emotion.
"I..."
Ninth Heavenly Devil was somewhat helpless; this was the first time he had been captured so easily.
"Then kill me."
The Ninth Heavenly Devil simply gave up. Since he Imperishable Undying, even if he was beaten to the point of being destroyed, he would slowly regenerate, at most his strength would drop again.
"It seems you really believe you're immortal..."
Han Xuanji raised his voice and said calmly:
"This is Dao-Devouring Insect. Do you think you can be reborn after being devoured?"
It wasn't that he was trying to scare people, but rather that the Dao-Devouring Insect truly possessed this ability, even more domineering than the Return to Truth Dao-Extinguishing Seal —it was an innate talent of its race.
" Dao-Devouring Insect?"
The Ninth Heavenly Devil's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, fear appeared in his eyes.
As a being born from Chaos, he understood the meaning of this name far better than ordinary cultivators.
This is a terrifying creature that can devour even the Principle the Great Dao and completely digest the very essence of the Chaos Devil God.
Once devoured by them, it's not just a simple annihilation of body and soul, but the very foundation of one's existence is completely digested, becoming nourishment for the insect swarm!
Many so-called " Undying "Imperishable are nothing but a joke in the face of the Dao-Devouring Insect!
Even when he was captured before, he was fearless, because if he really died, the Devil Ancestor could resurrect him with great Divine Ability, and he himself could even be reborn in Chaos...
However, even if His Devil Ancestor possesses supreme power and can reassemble his true spirit from the River of Spacetime after being devoured by the Dao-Devouring Insect, he would still be a useless waste even if reborn, having had his origin completely devoured...
"No... impossible! The Dao-Devouring Insect disappeared long ago at the end of the Primordial Era! How could you possibly..."
The Ninth Heavenly Devil's voice grew fainter and fainter as he stared intently at the swarms of insects around him, which emanated a terrifying aura that chilled even his soul, as they drew ever closer.
The last shred of hope was completely shattered.
"I'll tell you everything! I just beg you, sir, spare my life!"
Just as the Dao-Devouring Insect were about to swarm forward, Han Xuanji, who was sitting on the Chaos Azure Lotus, had a slight thought.
Inside the Primordial Beginning Banner, the surging tide of insects seemed to have been paused, abruptly stopping.
"I was sent by the Nine Lives Imperial Lord. He said that there are hidden variables in the Immortal Realm that can affect the Devil Ancestor. This is an order personally given by the Devil Ancestor... And the Devil Master is somewhat curious about the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, ordering me to find out its secrets!"
All of the Ninth Heavenly Devil's pride and loyalty to the Devil Ancestor crumbled instantly.
His body trembled violently, and he had lost all dignity as a strong man.
" The Devil Ancestor... The core will of the Devil Ancestor is still deep in the Chaos and has not yet fully awakened, but the Nine Lives Imperial Lord can communicate with him by holding a piece of the Primal Demon Bone. Now the Devil Race's plan is to increase the Devil Race Devil Ancestor Immortal Realm!
That's all I know, really! Please, Your Excellency, have mercy on me this time! I was only forcibly awakened by Nine Lives, and I was acting under someone else's orders; Non-Self intention!"
He spoke incoherently, spilling everything he knew like beans, as if afraid that if he hesitated even a second longer, he would be overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.
Even a once-powerful Devil Race like him felt fear when faced with true death.
What is the background of the Nine Lives Imperial Lord?
Han Xuanji pressed for an answer.
" The Nine Lives Imperial Lord is Chaos Devil God, a powerful being personally trained by the Devil Ancestor. His fundamental Dao is regeneration, making him extremely difficult to kill. Even if killed, he can be reborn and quickly return to his peak. Therefore, he was the first to awaken after death and then served the Devil Ancestor Devil Ancestor, becoming his most trusted subordinate."
The Ninth Heavenly Devil did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
"And the Devil Ancestor is the most ancient Chaos Devil God, said to be a being born at the very beginning of Chaos, a time before even the existence of the Immortal Realm. He was the one who created the Devil Race, took us, the Chaos Beings, under his command, and bestowed upon us the methods of cultivation..."
