82: Secret

“It is indeed as the main body said…”

“This matter must be reported to the main body as soon as possible.”

The Yuan Lian Avatar nodded. A swirl of black Qi transformed into a Five Elements Escape Light and departed.

At the same time, the decree of Shi Tian Demon King spread throughout the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Suddenly, the True Core Great Demons on each mountain peak were stunned.

“What? Entering the mountains for pilgrimage… the Demon Sage’s egg… which Demon Sage’s Bloodline descendant is it?”

“If that is truly the case, such a Demon Sage descendant, once it breaks out of its shell, will likely possess an Innate Bloodline that crushes the Ten Great Demon Kings.

Upon birth, there will inevitably be auspicious signs from heaven, purple Qi coming from the east, and golden lotuses springing from the earth.”

“Oh my, how did Shi Tian Demon King obtain such a precious item?”

Demons are different from Mortals; their Innate Bloodline determines the upper limit of their cultivation.

Unless they consume the essence blood of exotic beasts or ancient Heaven And Earth Treasures, there is little chance of breaking through the Bloodline shackles.

As a result, countless demons gnashed their teeth in envy.

The news spread rapidly, soon reaching the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

In the depths of the Void Realm, numerous powerful auras gathered, their illusory forms converging.

Some were illusory Dragon forms, others were images of mountain-like giant apes… without exception, all were Dongxuan Realm Demon Kings.

“Shi Tian Demon King… the Demon Sage’s egg… I never thought that the Bloodline descendant left behind by Kun Peng Demon Sage would fall into the hands of that burrowing rat.

What a waste.”

The voice was deep, as if emanating from the abyss of the earth.

A mass of black shadow wriggled, as if thousands of black snakes were entwined, forming a dark Dragon shadow.

It was Nie Long, one of the Ten Great Demon Kings.

“Hehe, who would have thought.

Back then, a group of demons entered the Demon Sage’s Grotto-heaven to search for Opportunity.

Even powerful ancient exotic species like the Nine-Colored Deer and the Spirit-Controlling Flower Demon.

Actually perished within.

The last Opportunity for enlightenment was obtained by a burrowing rat that no one thought highly of.

Not only that, it even broke through the Bloodline shackles in one fell swoop, achieving a Breakthrough to the Profound Cave.

It occupied a vast demon mountain and proclaimed itself Shi Tian Demon King.

Truly audacious!”

Lu She Demon King said in a sarcastic tone.

Upon hearing this, several Great Demon Kings fell silent.

Their Bloodlines were far superior to Shi Tian Demon King’s.

After achieving enlightenment, they had secretly clashed, but none had gained the upper hand.

At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from the Void Realm.

A gigantic Mountain Sea Turtle shell phantom crossed the boundary, and upon its highly raised shell, mountain peaks stood in abundance.

The peaks were arranged neatly, conforming to the mysteries of the Heaven and Earth Bagua.

It was the Great Demon King, Mountain Sea Turtle.

“Everyone, you’ve arrived quite early.

This old turtle is slow, so I’m the last to arrive. Hehe.”

“Old turtle, you’re finally here.”

A sweet voice, tinged with a hint of resentment, faintly echoed from the Void Realm.

“Hehe, you vixen, after several hundred years, your nature hasn’t changed a bit.”

The Mountain Sea Turtle’s shell trembled, and the sweet demonic sound surging in the Void Realm instantly vanished.

With the appearance of the Mountain Sea Turtle, all the other Demon Kings, except Nie Long and Heavenly Fox Demon King, showed respectful expressions and dared not be presumptuous.

The Mountain Sea Turtle was an Innate exotic species with a powerful Bloodline.

Its Physical Body strength could smash stars and cleave the moon, pushing through a hundred mountain ranges.

Its defense, inherited from the True Spirit Ba Xia’s Bloodline, was unparalleled.

However, its most formidable ability was its Innate divination technique.

Its cunning and wisdom surpassed that of countless other Demon Kings.

A millennium of conflicts had long proven that opposing this turtle would lead to no good end.

“Shi Tian, this fellow… is not simple.

Back then, I once consumed Lifespan to perform a secret divination and discovered that his acquisition of the Demon Sage’s legacy seemed to have quite a connection with a Human Race Cultivator.”

Upon hearing the Mountain Sea Turtle’s words, a monstrous wave was immediately stirred in the hearts of the many Demon Kings.

“Human Race Cultivator?

That burrowing rat actually dared to collude with a Human Race?

Was it a Human Race Cultivator from Great Shang or Great Jin?”

The Demon Kings hastily inquired.

“Ever since Kun Peng Demon Sage failed to ascend to immortality, and his dao karma transformed into the chaotic sea, the passage to Great Jin has long been cut off.

How could it be a Cultivator from Great Jin?”

The Mountain Sea Turtle shook its head.

“Great Shang?

Who exactly possesses such courage…”

“It is none other than… Duke Zhang Liang, who is now only half a step away from entering the Profound Cave Realm…”

The Mountain Sea Turtle revealed the secret of that year.

“So it was him…”

“Damn it, the Demon Sage left a hidden hand in the Opportunity for enlightenment.

We who inherited the Opportunity can only guard the demon mountain, and our main bodies cannot easily leave.

Otherwise, we would have long since annihilated the Human Race of Great Shang.”

Many Demon Kings showed expressions of resentment.

However, the Mountain Sea Turtle narrowed its turtle eyes, as if thinking of something, and revealed a trace of apprehension.

But it did not speak directly, instead changing the subject.

“This time, the Bloodline descendant of Kun Peng Demon Sage is of great importance.

That Shi Tian openly declared it to the world, he must have some ulterior motive.

Regardless, we must reclaim the Demon Sage’s egg.”

“It should be so.”

...Yuanlian Island.

At night, a bright moon hung high.

Today happened to be a full moon.

Gu Changsheng removed the stopper, and a rich smell of blood permeated from the green-skinned gourd in his hand.

“The quality of this demonic essence blood is a hundred, even a thousand times better than that of the Crimson Blood Carp.”

Gu Changsheng’s face lit up with joy.

With a thought, two blood-colored Dragons slowly flew out of the green-skinned gourd.

Upon them flickered the illusory figures of Yellow Weasels, Human-faced Night Owls, Jade Badger Wolves… many demons.

Those were the residual demon souls.

Soon, the demonic essence blood merged into his skin, which instantly turned crimson, as if thousands of tiny insects were wriggling and burrowing into his pores.

Gu Changsheng circulated the Devour Moon secret technique, and his face immediately flushed, with white steam rising from the top of his head.

Visibly, his skin became increasingly tough.

“I never expected Devour Moon to have such an effect…”

The demonic essence blood that had permeated his body gradually converged, forming illusory figures of demons.

Gu Changsheng let out a sharp roar.

Invisible sound waves spread out, causing monstrous waves to ripple across the lake.

This was the Human-faced Night Owl’s Night Fright Divine Secret Technique.

As this secret technique was activated, Gu Changsheng noticed that the demonic essence blood within his body dimmed a little.

“Consuming essence blood can simulate the Innate secret techniques of the devoured demons… that’s quite interesting.”

Gu Changsheng smiled slightly, then immediately activated another method—the Soul Devouring Incarnation.

Visibly, his body exuded a millstone of Yin and Yang colors, and Buddhist chants resonated.

The demon souls floating in the air seemed to be caught in a vortex; their living souls were ground into essence, merging into his body bit by bit.

After a few breaths, a tattoo of a Human-faced Night Owl appeared on his left arm.

Gu Changsheng felt something and threw a punch.

From the strong punch wind, an illusory figure of a Human-faced Night Owl soared out, roaring as it charged into the sky.

“The demon tattoo, combined with the Devour Moon secret technique, can almost perfectly simulate the strength of a True Core Great Demon.

In the future, if I collect more demonic essence blood and Divine Souls.

Perhaps I can assemble an army of demons.”

Gu Changsheng fantasized.

However, the demon tattoo was not convenient to show to ordinary people.

With a thought, as his Qi and blood flowed, the tattoo receded beneath his skin, leaving no trace.

“Congratulations to the main body for further advancement.”

“You and I are one, there’s no need for formalities.

Returning this time, besides handing over the green-skinned gourd, it must be that great fortune and great misfortune Opportunity that has appeared, right?”

“The main body is divinely insightful.”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes flickered.

A moment later, he softly uttered a sentence.

“This journey concerns my Kunpeng Avatar… I must go.”
