Corruption and Doubt
"Shut up!"
The Immortal King Fenjin's eyes were bloodshot, and immortal flames surged around him as he sternly rebuked:
"That ant could never be the reincarnation of that senior."
"Devil Lord Huoxin, you're spouting nonsense! Don't try to deceive me; I will never fall for it."
"Hehe, look, you're getting anxious again."
Whether what I said is true or false, you know in your heart.
You've offended that person, and you're destined to die. Your only way out now is to seek refuge with my Myriad Devils Realm."
The Devil Lord Huoxin laughed coldly, but his voice was weak and feeble, like a candle flickering in the wind.
It was secretly delighted; heaven was truly on its side!
The ants that Fenjin had previously targeted were actually that person's reincarnation.
After so much hard work, I finally have this opportunity to Fenjin the seed of inner demons in the depths of my heart.
If I put in a little more effort, I can completely influence the other party, make him work for me, and use him to get out of trouble.
If this drags on any longer, the very essence of one's own Dao will be drained, and then one's soul will be scattered.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal King Fenjin's expression darkened.
Even the Devil Lord Huoxin believed that the ant was the reincarnation of that senior, which suddenly increased the likelihood that this was true.
My fear grew steadily.
But the Immortal King's dignity wouldn't allow him to bow his head, so he could only sternly rebuke him:
"You're talking nonsense! I would never pledge allegiance to the Myriad Devils Realm!"
Even if that person is truly the reincarnation of that senior, I have guarded the seal for many years, and even if I haven't made any great contributions, I have certainly put in the effort. The other party might not necessarily kill me.
Besides, I have already banished this person to the Land of Exile, where he will never be able to leave. Why should I be afraid?
The Devil Lord Huoxin sneered, his words full of sarcasm:
"That man possesses unfathomable Divine Ability; how could a small Land of Exile possibly confine him?"
Even I couldn't be confined in this Land of Exile, let alone him.
Stop deceiving yourself.
Your only chance of survival right now is to break the seal and release me.
When I emerge, I can impart to you the Devil Lord Cultivation Method, helping you break through to the Immortal Lord more quickly.
Even if that person comes Land of Exile, you don't need to be afraid; it's not certain who will live and who will die.
The Immortal King Fenjin's fear of death intensified, and the flaws in his Dao heart grew wider.
The seeds of inner demons grew even faster, beginning to distort his mind and intensifying the eerie light in his eyes.
Coupled with his desire to break through to the Immortal Lord, the scales in his heart completely tipped, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"I rescued you, are you really willing to teach me the Devil Lord's Cultivation Method?"
Upon hearing this, the Devil Lord Huoxin was overjoyed and responded loudly:
"My Huoxin bond. If you rescue me, I will definitely teach you the Devil Lord Cultivation Method."
If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal King Fenjin's desire to break through to the Immortal Lord, coupled with his fear of death, finally overwhelmed his inner balance, and he muttered to himself:
"I don't want to submit to the Myriad Devils Realm, but I really don't want to die."
You forced me to do this!
If you died in High Antiquity, nothing would happen to you.
I will not betray the Azure Billows Realm.
You forced me into this situation, so you can't blame me.
I just want to live.
His voice suddenly rose, and he shouted hysterically, "What's wrong with wanting to live?"
"You're not wrong! The world is wrong, and that person wasn't born in High Antiquity."
We just want to live.
Let's cooperate, escape our deadly future, and be reborn.
The Devil Lord Huoxin spoke in a gentle tone, yet every word was subtly seductive.
Seeing that the Immortal King Fenjin had completely lost his mind, it was overjoyed. After years of planning, it had finally found a chance to escape.
Once the seal is broken, it will immediately devour the Immortal King Fenjin to replenish its own losses and restore its cultivation.
Then, he immediately fled to the Azure Billows Realm to avoid being found by that person.
As for the Heavenly Dao Oath, it has no binding force on me and I don't need to abide by it at all.
If it were the clear-headed Immortal King Fenjin, he would surely have seen through the flaw. However, the other party is now affected by inner demons and is already in a state of mental instability.
The Immortal King Fenjin had a hoarse voice and his eyes were filled with madness.
"I can release you, but you must first swear Heavenly Dao Oath."
"Alright, we don't lie to our own people. I'll Heavenly Dao Oath right now."
The Devil Lord Huoxin hurriedly swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao: "I, the Devil Lord Huoxin, swear to the Heavenly Dao... If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and my soul be scattered."
"Alright, I'll break the seal and release you."
The Immortal King Fenjin's eyes flashed with a dark light. Without any doubt, he flashed to the location of the seal and slammed a palm into the sealing formation.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and a defensive array abruptly appeared on the seal, condensing into a thick defensive light shield, with countless Great Dao Runes flowing and swirling on the shield.
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing defensive array, the Immortal King Fenjin was stunned. Having guarded the seal for countless years, he had never known that there was a defensive array hidden here.
How come there's an extra defensive formation?
That person was so cunning; he secretly set up a separate defensive formation to guard against his own people.
"However, it's just a defensive formation. No matter how strong its defenses are, I can slowly wear it down!"
His face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he unleashed the Heaven-Burning Spear, channeling the immense power of a Celestial Immortal King into the Immortal King Artifact.
The Great Dao of Fire coiled around the spear, and the raging flames, carrying the power to incinerate everything, fiercely pierced the defensive light shield.
"Boom!"
The defensive shield remained completely still, easily withstanding the fierce attack.
"Impossible! I can't even break the formation he left behind?"
I don't believe it!
I must break through the formation.
The Immortal King Fenjin was thrown into chaos, and he became increasingly frantic, wielding the Heaven-Burning Spear and relentlessly bombarding the defensive light shield.
The Devil Lord Huoxin was also utterly astonished upon seeing this.
It was also unaware that a defensive formation was hidden within the sealing formation.
This caused a sudden change in the situation, despite the fact that it had been planning for so long and was on the verge of escaping its predicament.
This formation possesses terrifying defensive capabilities; even at its peak, it would take a considerable amount of time to break through.
Now, relying solely on Fenjin to break the formation will only take longer.
But there is no other choice at the moment.
It could only secretly hope that the Immortal King Fenjin could break the defensive formation as soon as possible and help it escape the seal.
At this moment, Jian Lingxu, Zixiao, Xuankong, and others who had perished before Liu Yi made his move had no memories of Liu Yi and knew nothing about what happened after the High Antiquity times.
On the other side, Yue Ji was lounging lazily on the bed, casually browsing TikTok Video, her usual dignified and noble demeanor gone.
Suddenly, her body stiffened abruptly, a memory appearing out of thin air in her mind, her pretty face filled with astonishment.
"What... what's going on with these suddenly appearing memories?"
Could it be that Liu Yi was the one who saved me in High Antiquity?
But how is that possible?
Currently, his cultivation level is only Martial King, but the aura of his benefactor in his memory is vast and unfathomable.
"To kill three Devil King with a single sword strike—that's clearly Immortal Emperor, not Martial King."
She immediately sat cross-legged and focused her analysis:
"Could it be that Liu Yi is the reincarnation of that senior, hence his extraordinary talent and remarkable abilities?"
That's why I felt an immediate connection upon first meeting her, and even subconsciously offered her my trump card for survival.
But upon further reflection, doubts arose in his mind. "Judging from my past interactions with Liu Yi, he doesn't seem like a reincarnated strongman at all; on the contrary, he seems like a prodigy of our time."
What exactly happened?
Could it be that the other person hasn't awakened their past life memories?
