143: Chapter 143 The Void Mustard Seed Automatically Recognizes Him as its Master

Demon Realm.

By the banks of the River of Underworld, ghosts wandered eerily, and ten thousand shadows were filled with blood and soul.

Set against this backdrop, not far away stood a palace that appeared gloomy yet exuded a sense of accumulated glory.

This magnificent place was called the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

It was a place located in the Demon Realm, revered by countless demons as a Holy Land.

In terms of status, it was even comparable to the Demon Realm Imperial City.

Its status was perhaps even more transcendent.

"Mangtian Luanmo is dead?"

"Who exactly did this?"

The one-horned silver demon, dressed in the attire of an Elder, frowned deeply as he watched the soul tablet enshrined in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons shatter and explode.

He was well aware of Mangtian Luanmo's combat strength.

With all his various life-saving methods, even a powerhouse of the Saint Realm would find it extremely difficult to kill him.

Yet now, he had died so inexplicably.

It truly puzzled him.

At this moment, the Blood Flame demon beside him seemed to notice the hesitation in the one-horned silver demon's heart, so he said:

"According to the news sent back by the Ghost Demon Guard, I remember he seemed to have provoked a Human Race Cultivator at the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

He was used as a catalyst, his Divine Soul refined, and he was sealed upon the Lingzhou Continent."

The reason why they had received the news but had not sent subordinates from the Demon Realm to rescue him actually had something to do with Mangtian Luanmo himself.

Moreover, the most important point was tied to this.

Mangtian Luanmo's identity was not simple.

Or rather, his former identity was not simple.

As a former member of the Demon Realm royal family, Mangtian Luanmo possessed talent that allowed him to look down upon his peers; he was a powerhouse who had suppressed the Prodigy list of the Demon Realm for an entire era.

He was also the demon whom the Original Devil Emperor called the most likely to achieve a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.

It was a pity that several thousand years ago, a turmoil occurred in the Demon Realm.

The Mengli Giant Demon, who was the Grand General of the Demon Realm at the time, took advantage of the Original Devil Emperor's natural death and the instability within and outside the Demon Palace to lead troops in a rebellion, directly exterminating the former royal family.

However, the Mengli Giant Demon did not have the last laugh, nor did he meet a good end.

There is a saying: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He was the mantis, exterminating the cicada—the Demon Realm royal family—which he viewed as his prize, and the oriole appeared shortly after.

The Potuan Shi Demon, known as the Wise King of the Demon Realm, rose up with 800,000 demon soldiers, surrounded the Imperial City completely, and locked down that entire spatial Domain.

Consequently, the Mengli Giant Demon's dream of being an emperor lasted only a few days before he was pulled from power.

He became one of the emperors in the history of Demon Realm turmoil who rose to power at lightning speed and died the fastest.

"Lingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of contemplation flashed in the one-horned demon's eyes.

The Demon Realm spans across time and space to reach the Three Thousand Provinces, but it is not something that can be directly teleported to.

Before the Demon God Tunnel, which has existed throughout history, is opened, it requires a huge cost to successfully complete a descent.

Like Mangtian Luanmo back then, he arrived in the Three Thousand Provinces through the Demon God Tunnel, traveled through the various provinces, and watched the winds and clouds.

The cause of his being sealed was also related to this.

As a demon, casual killing might not be taken seriously.

However, he ran into a tough opponent.

And then, he was completely declared finished.

"His death is merely a regrettable matter."

"However, the Void Jiemi he held must be retrieved."

"This item was obtained by him in the main battlefield of Gods and Demons, and it possesses some unfathomable mysterious power."

"It even concerns a sliver of opportunity to become an Emperor."

"When he left the Demon Realm through the Demon God Tunnel, I clearly remember that he had this item with him."

The one-horned silver demon did not elaborate on its specific function.

But precisely because of this, the item's immense value was highlighted, and it could not be known by outsiders.

With these words, the Blood Flame demon understood the hidden meaning, so he said: "Very well, I will immediately dispatch a demon squad to the Lingzhou Continent to search and plunder."

The one-horned silver demon did not pay much attention to the Blood Flame demon's departure; instead, he gazed at the eerie blood moon in the sky with his murky eyes.

After a short while, he coldly muttered to himself: "In this era of great contention, the various fiends are in chaos. Is the era of conquest for the Emperor's path about to begin again?"

As a demon who has witnessed the struggle for hegemony among the heroes, he knew deeply the shocking terror and treacherous complexity behind this.

In this infinite slaughter, Prodigies, monsters, and peerless powerhouses emerge one after another.

Gods, Demons, Immortals, Buddhas, and even the remnants of the ten thousand races that have avoided the world, etc., countless forces from all sides will participate in it.

Most of the time, it is a case of one party finishing their act and another taking the stage; one moment you are laughing proudly at the mountains and rivers, and the next you fall and turn to dust.

...

As Gu Qingge was about to step into the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, he suddenly felt a special Aura constantly approaching him.

He could even say that he was somewhat familiar with this Aura.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Qingge discovered it was the blood demon fruit he had sensed before.

However, because of Mangtian Luanmo's sudden arrival, his plan to go and acquire it had fallen through.

Now, this thing had actually delivered itself to his doorstep?

This situation could not help but leave Gu Qingge somewhat astonished.

He asked himself: when did his charm become so great?

"Could there be some unknown trap in this?" Gu Qingge thought to himself.

Things like pies falling from the sky do not happen often.

Especially with this kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure, how could he possibly pick it up for nothing?

On the contrary, Bai Fangqian, who was standing to the side, revealed a meaningful look in her charming eyes upon seeing this blood demon fruit.

Invisibly, it seemed to declare that this blood demon fruit hid a mystery and was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"The Void Jiemi? This thing actually recognized him as its master for no reason?"

"What exactly is his identity?"

For a moment, it also made Bai Fangqian's attitude seem somewhat unpredictable.

The blood demon fruit was merely its outward appearance.

What truly contained the urgent and blazing essence was what lay inside.

"So, you are the legendary Child of Destiny?"

A touch of shallow charm appeared in Bai Fangqian's expression; at this moment, she was even more interested in Gu Qingge.

However, Gu Qingge could not feel any of this.

At this moment, holding this thing of unknown meaning, Gu Qingge only felt it was a hot potato; he could neither throw it away nor keep it.

Finally, he gritted his teeth—the bold are stuffed to death, the timid are starved to death—and decided to put the thing away for now and deal with it later.

Bai Fangqian, who was standing to the side, was not surprised at all by Gu Qingge's action of putting away the Void Jiemi.

For such a rare treasure, even if she did not recognize it, she could clearly feel that extremely special Aura.

However, this Void Jiemi was of little use to her, so she neither pointed out its mysteries nor tried to seize it by force.

"You do not have that much time to prepare in advance; shortly after this, several provinces will open the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons at the same time."

"If you encounter people from other provinces, I suggest you either kill them or flee quickly."

Gu Qingge did not say much, but simply nodded.

In his view, the battle of dragons and tigers within the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons must be no less than an Asura battlefield.

It was the same: the strong live, and the weak die.

Dead bodies were everywhere, fierce souls wandered in chaos; everything described the wild and rampant slaughter here.
