588: The sealed Tianhu demon king, the ancient palace of the Heavenly Palace

Rumble!

A terrifying bull-headed demon phantom, as large as a mountain, generated a twelve-level gale within a ten-thousand-meter radius with one hoof.

His body was filled with monstrous Devilish Qi, a crimson rainbow pierced the sun, and his Aura was like a tide.

“Tianhou Demon King!”

Kumu was extremely excited.

In this Nether Sea, there once existed a Demon King. Three thousand years ago, after the deterioration of heaven and earth, he was Sealed in the depths of the Nether Sea by the powerhouses of the Great Chu Dynasty.

The Great Chu powerhouses worried that if the heaven and earth continued to deteriorate in the future and Spiritual Qi withered, these demons would be less affected than the Human Race.

Since top Demon Kings were difficult to kill, he was Sealed in an ancient Secret Realm to be slowly worn down, preventing him from harming the outside world and ensuring that no Demon Kings appeared in the world again.

This Tianhou Demon King was one of them.

His ancestors had once seen the Tianhou Demon King and received his grace.

The Tianhou Demon King, with a bull's head and Dragon's body, could pull up mountains with his strength, and his combat power was unparalleled. His strength and defense were top-tier among Demon Kings.

“Hmm, what’s going on?”

Kumu’s expression changed slightly; the expected escape of the Demon King did not occur.

The Tianhou Demon King tried several times to struggle out from underground.

All attempts ended in failure.

“What a powerful Seal. After several thousand years, it can still suppress the Demon King from breaking free.”

Kumu seemed to see countless Divine Thunder and raging flames burning the Demon King’s body, causing him to let out painful wails.

“Damn it, how strong were the Great Chu powerhouses who Sealed the Demon King back then,” Kumu cursed. He had originally thought that after thousands of years, this broken Seal would have decayed, and sacrificing a few blood meals would be enough to help the Demon King escape.

It seemed he had underestimated the power of this Seal.

“World-Destroying Demonic Flame!”

The Tianhou Demon King roared, unleashing his innate Divine Ability. Heaven-burning flames swept out, and space itself was extremely distorted.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the Seal.

A crimson rainbow streaked across, instantly escaping through that tiny crack.

Only to see.

A terrifying figure appeared before Kumu.

His body was like a mountain, entirely black, with dark gold demon patterns flowing like lava. He had a bull's head, Dragon horns, eyes as red as a blood moon, bone spurs on his spine, and a tail like a flood Dragon. His two feet stomped the ground, causing the earth to tremble, and Demonic Qi surged.

“Too bad, this true body was suppressed too severely by the Seal. I can only send out a Dharma Body,” the Tianhou Demon King muttered to himself. He looked at Kumu and said in a deep voice, “Very good, you have awakened this King, and you shall be heavily rewarded.”

“It is Kumu’s incompetence; I could not allow Lord Demon King to escape completely.”

Kumu knelt and said.

“No matter, that bit of blood meal allowed this King to send out a Dharma Body, which is already good. What is the situation outside now? Has Great Chu fallen?”

The Tianhou Demon King waved his hand. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for those old fogies from Great Chu who Sealed him in this dark and sunless ghost place.

With his talent, he would probably have already advanced to the Demon Emperor Realm.

“Lord Demon King, the Nether Abyss lost contact with the outside world two thousand years ago. Now, the only force that can enter the Nether Abyss is a power called Yan Luo Temple, which belongs to Great Chu.”

“According to the intelligence we currently have, Great Chu has not yet been destroyed, and the Spiritual Qi in the outside world has withered, making it extremely difficult to produce Rongtian Cultivators.”

Kumu responded.

“Very good, it’s good that he’s still alive. This King will personally send him to his grave,” the Tianhou Demon King said coldly.

“However, to allow this true body to escape completely, the demon god’s blood is necessary.”

His Origin was almost completely worn away by the Seal. Only the demon god’s blood could allow him to return to his Peak and restore his Foundation.

Kumu said obsequiously, “Lord Demon King, where can one find this demon god’s blood?”

The Tianhou Demon King looked at the distant Void Realm and whispered, “The demon god’s blood can only be found in that Forbidden Ground.”

“Go!”

Kumu didn't understand, but he could only follow the Tianhou Demon King’s footsteps.

Setting sail again, the Due Golden Boat, controlled by the Demon King, accelerated rapidly and soon disappeared at the end of the world.

…

In the Nether Sea.

Chu Jiang, who was sitting cross-legged on the Due Golden Boat, opened his eyes, seemingly sensing something. His Divine Sense spread out, looking towards the end of the Nether Sea.

“Chu Jiang Wang, what’s wrong?”

Saint Jiuyou asked.

The vessel containing the blood of the god slayer in Chu Jiang’s nether ring seemed to be resonating.

“Nether Sea — Shen Yuan Island.” Chu Jiang’s eyes lit up.

It was the fluctuation of the blood of the god slayer.

Shen Yuan Island was one of the most dangerous Forbidden Grounds in the Nether Sea.

Even a Rongtian Cultivator could perish if they were not careful.

The blood of the god slayer was stored here. Two thousand years ago, the first Old Ancestor of Great Chu, Old Ancestor Yin and Yang, had once obtained blood of the god slayer here.

Not only was there blood of the god slayer here, but there were also other treasures. The more than ten nether rings of the Ten Great Yin Shuai and Ten Kings of Hell of the Yan Luo Temple were all obtained from here.

However, Chu Jiang Wang’s exclusive nether ring, the Profound Ice Mirror, had not been taken out and remained on this Deep Abyss Island.

“Go that way!”

Chu Jiang pointed in a direction, and Saint Jiuyou immediately changed course.

At the same time.

On the other side, three other Due Golden Boats happened to be there and rushed towards Deep Abyss Island one after another.

In this Nether Sea, islands represented wealth and great Opportunity.

“This island is different from the floating islands we’ve seen before.”

“There must be a great treasure inside.”

The Silver Moon Two Star Lords showed covetous expressions. If they could take the treasures inside and offer them to Nine Lives Mysterious Ji, she would surely be pleased.

“It’s Old Man Miesheng. Why is this old geezer here too?”

Nine Lives Mysterious Ji looked at the other two boats. One of them had a hunched old man with messy, disheveled hair.

She frowned. Among the ten Due Golden Boats and ten teams on this trip, besides Chu Jiang, whom she feared, the second was Old Man Miesheng. His Death Concept was extremely terrifying; five hundred years ago, he was already close to the Eighth Transformation Heavenly Mandate.

In terms of Physical Body, he couldn't compare to the Witch Demon King, but in terms of Concept comprehension, the Witch Demon King was far inferior to him. If they truly fought, the outcome was unknown.

Crucially, his Due Golden Boat had not lost a single person.

One must know that her ship had already lost four or five people after several crises in the Nether Sea.

As for the owner of the other boat, he was the leader of a medium-sized force, a Rongtian Middle Stage Cultivator, who posed no great threat to them.

Elsewhere, a Due Golden Boat was as fast as a shuttle, cutting through the waves.

It carried one person, also flying towards Shen Yuan Island, with the Tianhou Demon King at the helm.

“Not only the demon god’s blood, but all other Opportunities also belong to this King.”

…

On Shen Yuan Island, vast and boundless, ancient palaces, like heavenly palaces, floated in the clouds in the sky.

There were also broken sky ladders and golden avenues connecting heaven and earth.

Looking from bottom to top, it was like the Lingxiao Treasure Hall beyond the nine heavens.

Void Realm cracks occasionally erupted around, moving everywhere.

On Shen Yuan Island, some Cultivators left the Due Golden Boat and flew over, their gaze fixed on the ancient palaces in the sky, their eyes burning with fervor.

“There must be great treasures in here.” Some Cultivators, eager and impatient, channeled their magical power and directly ascended the heavenly path along the sky ladder and the broken golden avenue.

However, just as the Cultivators were about to ascend the heaven and step into the heavenly palace.

A colossal creature, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, blocked everyone's path…
