Good advice

She looked at Zhong Qing, suppressing the shock in her heart, and said, "Your cultivation is at the Three Yin One Realm!"

Zhong Qing neither admitted nor denied it.

And in Yue Ji's eyes, Zhong Qing had tacitly agreed.

Yue Ji took a deep breath.

Observing Zhong Qing's bone age, he was not yet twenty.

Yet, he had reached the Three Yin One Realm.

Such a cultivation speed could be called monstrous.

However, it was precisely Zhong Qing's astonishing cultivation speed that made her unable to resist advising him again.

"This place is very dangerous; it's not somewhere you should be."

"You should go back to where you came from!"

"Your future should have a broader stage."

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "I appreciate your kind intentions, but I have a reason I must go."

"As the saying goes, there are things one should do, and things one should not."

"You need not persuade me any further!"

"No matter what, I must go to the True Demon Inheritance land today!"

These words made Yue Ji shake her head repeatedly.

In her opinion, Zhong Qing's actions were akin to knowingly heading towards Tiger Mountain despite the presence of a tiger.

A slight misstep could lead to the disaster of death and soul destruction.

However, they had met by chance, and whatever he did was none of her concern.

Her top priority now was to find the Source Demon Stone and resolve her own demonic affliction.

Thinking of this, she softly said, "Since that's the case, then I wish you a smooth journey!"

"I only hope that one day, we will have a chance to meet again!"

As she spoke, she had already bid farewell to Zhong Qing.

If it were peacetime, facing such a favored son of heaven, Yue Ji wouldn't mind getting to know Zhong Qing more deeply.

But at this moment, her focus was entirely on how to fundamentally resolve the demonic affliction.

Furthermore, Zhong Qing's trip, in her opinion, was tantamount to suicide.

That altar, even she, a Three Yin Three Realm expert, dared not approach.

She did not believe that Zhong Qing, a Three Yin One Realm, could retreat unscathed.

The encounter with the woman was just a small interlude for Zhong Qing.

As the two parted ways, Zhong Qing once again advanced deeper into the Fallen Devil Land.

The deeper he went, the denser the demonic energy became.

If the demonic energy in the outer areas was like mist.

Then the demonic energy deep within the Fallen Devil Land was almost like ink.

It was nearly solidified.

Both in quantity and quality, they were not on the same level.

After traveling for about half a day, Zhong Qing finally saw the altar the woman had mentioned!

The altar was entirely black, three zhang high and nine chi wide, shaped like a pentagonal rhombus.

It stood majestically on the black permafrost.

Profound patterns were etched upon it.

Ancient, deep, and radiating an ominous aura.

Above the entire altar, a ferocious True Demon statue was enshrined.

A strange light appeared in Zhong Qing's eyes.

"This is where the True Demon Inheritance is located?"

He observed carefully.

Finally, through the sacrificial texts around the altar, he confirmed that this statue seemed to be an extremely formidable existence among the Demon Race.

Its name: Demon Lord—Nieluo!

Zhong Qing surveyed his surroundings.

Terrifying demonic energy surged!

Under the erosion of this surging, wave-like demonic energy, even he couldn't help but feel waves of discomfort.

He did not want to be contaminated by this stuff.

Legend has it that demonic energy can defile spiritual power and taint the soul.

Once deeply infected, it could lead one to fall and become a demonic creature.

Zhong Qing erected an energy shield around his body to prevent demonic energy from eroding him.

However, this demonic energy was exceptionally overbearing, seeming to penetrate everywhere.

Even with Zhong Qing's Three Yang Realm ability, wisps of demonic energy still managed to pass through the energy shield and enter his body.

As the demonic energy entered his body, Zhong Qing's eyes slightly darkened.

A few wisps of demonic energy naturally wouldn't affect him.

However, once it accumulated, if he stayed here for too long, even he might be corroded.

"This place is truly terrifying!"

"For non-demonic beings to enter, it's simply a purgatory!"

Zhong Qing frowned in thought.

The sensation of demonic energy entering his body was not pleasant, and after several attempts, he couldn't completely block it out.

The next moment, an object appeared in Zhong Qing's hand—Zero Seal.

Zero Seal was his innate weapon, ever-changing and capable of moving according to his will.

As Zhong Qing's thoughts arose.

The Zero Seal in his hand transformed into a True Demon nearly a hundred zhang tall.

It had a green face, fangs, and a ferocious countenance, with surging demonic energy seemingly capable of polluting all things in heaven and earth.

Ancient aura persisted, and an immortal scent permeated the air.

The special effects were directly maxed out!

Zhong Qing's idea was very simple.

Since Zero Seal could transform into anything, he would imitate the aura of this Demon Lord Nieluo.

To fight magic with magic.

And as Zero Seal transformed into Demon Lord Nieluo, the surrounding demonic energy, as if conscious, retreated a great distance.

As if—submitting!

This situation left Zhong Qing somewhat dumbfounded.

He hadn't expected that his experimental attempt would yield such unexpectedly good results!

However, Zhong Qing did not relax his guard in the slightest.

The horror of the demonic energy here was such that even he, a Three Yang First Realm expert, almost fell victim to it.

"I just don't know if there are Guardians or similar existences in this area?"

"If there are, can I, with my strength, suppress the demonic horde?"

Zhong Qing's heart sank slightly.

Of course, he wasn't overly apprehensive.

With the trump cards he had obtained from signing in over the years.

Even if he was no match, he was confident that retreating unscathed would not be difficult.

As he pondered, he stepped directly onto the altar!

Of course, due to space limitations, he directly transformed Zero Seal into a pendant hanging at his waist, leaving only the Demon Lord's aura to envelop his entire body, preventing demonic energy from eroding him.

And as Zhong Qing stepped onto the altar.

A flash of dark light passed, and he only felt the universe undergo a drastic change, with stars shifting.

When he reappeared, he was already in a different world.

The altar was named Demon Platform!

It connected to an alternate dimension.

Clearly, the True Demon Inheritance Zhong Qing sought was within the space connected by the altar.

The space behind the altar was a black city!

This land had no blue sky or white clouds, no stars or moon; there was only endless gloom!

The city was in a semi-collapsed state.

Desolate, fallen, silent!

Above the long sky, blood stained the firmament.

This was not a metaphor.

There was truly blood suspended in the high sky, as if it had merged with the void.

The blood was crystal clear, congealed and not dispersing, giving off a sacred and transcendent feeling.

Zhong Qing secretly marveled!

Blood scattered in the void was truly an eye-opener!

If he was not mistaken, this blood should be divine blood!

From what he had seen and heard along the way, everything was a scene of ruin.

Mountains and rivers shattered, stars collapsed.

Demonic blood soared to the heavens, divine blood scattered everywhere.

Even the laws of heaven and earth were broken and fractured.

It was not difficult to infer how tragic the war that erupted here back then must have been.

This battle had literally shattered a piece of land.

The aftermath of the battlefield, even after tens of thousands of years, still made this place a barren wasteland where not even a blade of grass grew.

One could imagine how powerful the gods and demons were back then.

However, he was not here to study ancient history.

He was here to find the True Demon Inheritance.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing glanced around.

He then walked directly into the black city.

As Zhong Qing stepped into the city.

The surrounding void, demonic energy surged!

From the sky, a roar suddenly came.

"Who dares to trespass on my Demon Race's land!"

The sound was like thunder!

Shaking the void.

A giant face appeared in the sky, like a mountain.

The enormous face cast waves of shadow onto the ground.

The terrifying sense of oppression made Zhong Qing's heart sink.

The newcomer's cultivation was above his!
