476: Trigger a new mission, the suppressed Tiansha Palace Master
Chu Jiang felt quite emotional after reading it.
The wheels of history roll forward, and individuals are merely specks of dust.
At this moment, it was profoundly evident.
One can infer the whole from a single part.
Through this one person, one could understand the urgency felt by all parties during the late Dynasty thousands of years ago, when demons ran rampant, the world was in chaos, and the common people suffered immensely.
The brutality of survival.
The Great Qin Dynasty was founded 1,500 years ago, and in the 1,500th year of the Great Qin calendar, Mystic Mechanism City lost contact with the outside world, which also aligns with historical records.
After the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty, it fell into a period of warring feudal lords. The Great Chu spent a hundred years to barely end the warfare, and with the help of the Seven Divine Humans, they cleared out the demons and re-established order.
However, Mystic Mechanism City, having lost contact with the outside world, did not know that the Great Qin Dynasty had fallen. Perhaps they had already guessed, but refused to believe it.
Just like Yang Liwan at No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform.
The other three felt even more so, experiencing for the first time how close history was to them.
After a moment of pause.
“Doesn’t that mean there’s a super great demon suppressed beneath our feet, called the Tiansha Hall Master?”
Flame Emberborn’s face paled. This diary not only recorded Yang Liwan’s personal experiences, but also how the Tiansha Hall Master, when suppressed, made the Gongsun family and the Mo family pay a huge price to take him down.
Even after thousands of years, with his strength diminished, he certainly wasn't someone they could contend with; at the very least, he was in the Rongtian Realm.
“Why are you panicking? The human demon suppressed five thousand years ago has probably long turned into a pile of white bones. Don’t be an alarmist!”
Flower Gentleman said indifferently, “Who can withstand the erosion of time, especially five thousand long years? He doesn’t believe such an existence is possible.”
Tiansha Hall Master…
Chu Jiang’s eyebrow twitched slightly. He had seen relevant information in the ancient records of the Demon Suppression Division. The Tiansha Hall was a rebellious force of the Great Qin Dynasty, arguably the originator of human demon experiments.
Part of the Legacy of the Earth Fiend Hall evolved from the Tiansha Hall, and then developed to its current scale.
“Ding!”
“Mission triggered: Detecting that the super human demon, Tiansha, suppressed in Mystic Mechanism City, is about to awaken. Host, please activate thirty-six Demon Suppression Platforms within three days to re-Seal Tiansha. Reward: Grade Seven Teleportation Scroll, Demon Blood Sacrifice Great Method (includes one set of Materials for the Blood Sacrifice Array, one set of Materials for the Heaven-Deceiving Array).”
“Hmm?”
Chu Jiang was secretly delighted. Another mission triggered, not bad, not bad.
“Grade Seven Teleportation Scroll: Can ignore Restriction and spatial power, instantly teleporting one hundred thousand li.”
“Demon Blood Sacrifice Great Method: Can Breakthrough Bottlenecks or Realms by Blood Sacrificing demons.”
Chu Jiang’s eyes lit up.
Historically, only demons Blood Sacrificed the Human Race; there was almost no instance of the Human Race Blood Sacrificing demons in return. This was truly a Divine Artifact.
“System, what is Tiansha’s current strength? Can he be killed?”
Chu Jiang secretly asked.
System: “Tiansha’s current strength has degenerated from the Heavenly Mandate Realm to Rongtian Fourth Level, but he possesses an immortal body, inheriting perfect royal bloodline. No one in the Rongtian Realm can kill him.”
This was also why the Great Qin Dynasty went to such great lengths to suppress him, attempting to let time erode his life imprint.
Because his true body was virtually immortal.
Only by being two major Realms higher could one have a hundred percent certainty of completely obliterating the immortal imprint.
“No wonder the Earth Fiend Hall is so enthusiastic about human demon experiments!”
This Tiansha was a perfect example; once successful, one would not only possess the long Lifespan and Divine Abilities of demons but also the unique talents and Comprehension Ability of humans.
Combining the advantages of both races into one.
“My dear Your Majesty, what are you thinking? What should we do next?”
Yue Xuanji walked over, smiling lightly.
Throughout this journey, Chu Jiang had helped them avoid countless dangers in advance, and they had implicitly come to regard him as their leader, subconsciously asking for his guidance.
“I have a plan…”
Chu Jiang pointed to the dome.
A moment later.
...
...
“Alright, make your choice!”
Chu Jiang finished speaking.
Whether to follow him or stay at No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform.
In reality, both options carried risks.
“Your Majesty, are you saying we’re going to be saviors?”
Flower Gentleman laughed heartily, “But let me say this first, I’m out of money, my pockets are cleaner than my face!”
To activate all thirty-six Demon Suppression Platforms would require at least tens of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones; even if he gambled away his pants, it wouldn’t be enough to fill a tooth gap.
“Your Majesty, you don’t mind adding one more person, do you?”
Yue Xuanji smiled charmingly. A woman’s sixth sense told her that following Chu Jiang would definitely not be wrong; his ability to judge and handle crises was first-rate.
Staying at No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform seemed safe, but she always felt something was off.
“Uh… I won’t go. I’ll wait for you all at No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform!”
Flame Emberborn smiled slightly, feeling a chill in his heart. Along the way to thirty-six Demon Suppression Platforms, who knew how many dangers there would be? If he died following him, it would be a huge loss. He came here to seek Opportunity, not to die doing thankless tasks.
Anyway, he had already memorized the map. If they didn’t return, he could explore this vast Mystic Mechanism City alone.
Perhaps with good luck, he might even Breakthrough the Qiankun Tenth Level, or even half-step Rongtian.
“Old turtle, are you sure you’re staying here and not coming with us?”
Flower Gentleman asked.
Flame Emberborn nodded.
Chu Jiang said nothing. After activating No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform and acquiring another treasure, the three vanished into the swirling yellow sand.
Flame Emberborn stroked the thumb ring in his hand, looking at the retreating figures of the three, a sinister smile flashing across his lips: “The demon is yours. I’ll go to the Mechanical City first. Ancestors above, bless your descendant with good luck. I hope what I’m looking for is there…”
As he spoke.
He stepped out of No. 009 Demon Suppression Platform.
...
Profound Enigma Ruins, unknown location.
In the ethereal abyss beneath a blood-red moon, three hundred and sixty profound iron chains, inscribed with Buddhist verses, pierced through a colossal demonic body. This three-thousand-zhang tall humanoid monster was covered in crystalline scales, with purple-black mist, corrosive to space, seeping from every scale gap. Its heart pounded like thunder, causing cracks to spread across the dozens of Demon Suppression Monuments floating around it.
In the shadow cast by the lowered demonic head, an altar formed from countless skeletons operated automatically, eroding the Seal, devouring residual souls, and transforming them into nourishment for demonic Qi.
There were three layers of Restrictions, inside and out, sealing this giant human demon.
Now, they too had become tattered and broken.
As the eighth blood moon rose, the Devilish Qi overflowing from the Seal’s cracks had solidified into tangible claws, quietly tearing open the second layer of spatial Restriction.
Suddenly.
A white-haired old woman within the space opened her tightly shut eyes, which shone like two blood moons in the dim space, and fiercely looked at one of the Demon Suppression Monuments.
Only to see.
This Demon Suppression Monument emitted light, erupting with a powerful suppressive force.
The second layer of Restriction, which had just been broken through, was almost repaired again.
“Go, mobilize all the exotic beasts in the sand sea, surround all the Demon Suppression Platforms outside Mystic Mechanism City, and kill all outsiders!”
“Hall Master is about to break the Seal of Mystic Mechanism City; no accidents are allowed!”
The white-haired old woman’s expression turned cold.
“By the Star Lord’s command!”
Several red bats, holding bronze steel forks, instantly flew outwards.
After the strange creatures disappeared, the white-haired old woman’s voice echoed in the space.
“Damn Qin Emperor, damn Mo family, Gongsun family! You’ve suppressed my Tiansha Hall Master for thousands of years. When Hall Master breaks the Seal, you will all suffer eternal damnation!”
...
No. 014 Demon Suppression Platform.
“Damn it, Old Buddha, you’re truly amazing! You said there would be an Opportunity, and there truly was one!”
Bloodthorn Dong Lord touched the poisonous bead in his hand, very satisfied.
All Three Great Dong Lords had gained something, which could be said to have further increased their combat power.
However, one person was missing from the original fifteen, clearly having perished in the sand sea.
Step!
Step!
“Cave Master, I’ve detected the Saintess’s aura, she might be right ahead of us!”
A Miao Xinjiang Elder, beaming with joy, quickly ran over to report.
“Watch your words! The Miao Xinjiang Saintess is Yue Ruyin. What kind of Saintess is she? Anyone unwilling to dedicate themselves to the Miao Xinjiang cause is a traitor to Miao Xinjiang!”
Bloodthorn Dong Lord sternly corrected him.
He didn’t believe a mere smelly woman could escape his grasp.
“Yes, yes, yes… Cave Master’s words are profound!”
The Miao Xinjiang Elders echoed.
“Go!”
Fearing that Yue Xuanji would escape again, the Three Great Dong Lords, after allowing everyone a brief rest, led their people to quickly leave No. 014 Demon Suppression Platform and pursue her.
