"Who is the Demon Lord?"
"What kind of cultivation does this person have to make Qin Xuanji address him as a junior?"
Everyone's minds buzzed, their hearts stirred by waves of shock.
Qin Xuanji, the most talented individual of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, an unparalleled Chosen not seen in a millennium, invincible within the Core Formation Stage.
Even the Elental Infant ancestor of the Chu Kingdom couldn't kill him and had to retreat.
For soone to make Qin Xuanji pay respects, what level of cultivation does this youth possess?!
"Back then, the Divine Puppet Sect made a vow with to never set foot here again. Have you forgotten?" The Demon Lord looked at the person before him, seemingly assessing.
Qin Xuanji slightly bowed, neither humble nor arrogant, "I respect the ancestors and seniors, hence my true self did not co. But as a cultivator, we go against the heavens, how could we be bound by so old rules?"
His words were not arrogant but heartfelt.
In the entire Heavenly Puppet Sect, only he dared to face the Demon Lord's reputation and co to this place.
The Demon Lord remained expressionless, coldly saying, "Sounds nice, but aren't you just testing my limits?"
"Let make it clear to you now, I don't care what kind of avatars, puppets, or external incarnations you use, as long as they belong to the Divine Puppet Sect, they should not appear within the Wu Mountain range. Today, consider this a lesson."
He opened his mouth and sucked in, pulling Qin Xuanji's figure towards him.
Suddenly, Qin Xuanji's eyes flared with ghostly fire, breaking free from the constraints, his body igniting and quickly dissipating into smoke.
"Extre Realm?"
The Demon Lord's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, murmuring, "This person is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he has such confidence."
Extre Realm represents the ultimate power within a certain realm.
For example, Xu Hei possesses the Extre Realm of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
The Demon Lord thought that in this era of thin Spiritual Qi, the Extre Realm would be very rare, yet he encountered one as soon as he erged.
The Demon Lord picked up the token and coldly spoke into it, "Defying the heavens? You were hiding from just now, which shows fear and trepidation, yet you talk about defying the heavens!"
These words, transmitted through Qin Xuanji's token, crossed an endless distance and echoed in Qin Xuanji's mind.
This would beco Qin Xuanji's inner demon.
…………
Jiangling, the capital city of the Chu Kingdom.
In a quiet room, Qin Xuanji sat on a prayer mat, suddenly opening his eyes, the voice from earlier reverberating in his mind.
"Good, this tribulation cos at the right ti!"
Qin Xuanji was not panicked; instead, he was very calm, "As long as I overco this tribulation, I can form my Elental Infant!"
He, the strongest Core Formation in the history of the Qin Kingdom, and also the youngest.
He respects neither heaven nor earth, neither ghosts nor gods, nor ancestors. Even when facing the Elental Infant ancestor of the Chu Kingdom, he is fearless.
But the mont the Demon Lord appeared, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, like an ant.
—Divine Transformation Stage!
This was the first ti in Qin Xuanji's life facing the Divine Transformation Stage, and also the first ti he felt fear. However, as long as he crossed this hurdle, the world would be wide open.
"You've seen the Demon Lord, how did it go?"
A voice ca from the void ahead, belonging to the Elental Infant ancestor of the Heavenly Puppet Sect.
"The Demon Lord is not dead, and now appears in a youthful form."
Qin Xuanji spoke to the void ahead.
The voice was silent for a long ti before asking, "Qin Xuanji, do you believe anyone or any demonic beast could survive from ancient tis to the present?"
Qin Xuanji shook his head, "I don't believe it."
Elental Infant cultivators have a lifespan of over a thousand years.
The Divine Transformation Stage can reach up to three thousand years.
Even so, it's still too far from ancient tis.
"Then what do you think the Demon Lord is?" the old voice asked again.
Qin Xuanji was silent for a mont before decisively saying, "He is practicing in a way that deceives the heavens."
A cultivator's lifespan is limited by the laws of the heavens, and they cannot live indefinitely. Even defying the heavens won't work; only by deceiving the heavens can they avoid its scrutiny.
"That's a good guess."
A figure appeared, the Elental Infant ancestor walked up to him, solemnly saying, "The day you unravel the mystery of the Demon Lord will be the day you form your Elental Infant."
"By then, no matter how the Demon Lord deceives the heavens, he won't be able to hide."
…………
Wild Giant Elephant Tribe.
With Qin Xuanji's disappearance, the Iron Mountain Sect's montum was gone.
The Demon Lord didn't even glance at them, leaving directly.
It was as if his appearance was rely to counterbalance the Heavenly Puppet Sect, indifferent to everything else.
Xu Hei let out a sigh of relief, truly afraid that the Demon Lord would notice him, as he had too many secrets.
Tie Niu's eyes flickered, trying to slip away, but Man Jin gave him no chance, crushing him like a mountain, completely obliterating him.
The remaining mbers of the Iron Mountain Sect were swiftly defeated by the combined efforts of Xu Hei, Xiao Chou, and the elephant herd, leaving none alive.
Xu Hei wasted no ti, using the Soul-absorbing Flag to draw in all their souls, allowing the snake spirit to devour them.
Thus, the Iron Mountain Sect, which was supposed to replace the Mountain Movers Sect, perished halfway before it even began.
Man Jin's burning flas extinguished as he walked up to Xu Hei, weakly saying, "Brother Xu, I owe you a great favor again, I..."
Before he could finish, his body swayed and fell to the ground.
Man Jin's body rapidly shrank, the massive mountain-like figure deflating like a punctured balloon, visibly shrinking, even his life force rapidly waning.
"Chieftain!"
"Big brother!"
Cries of alarm ca from the surrounding elephants, who gathered around, extrely anxious.
Without a word, Xu Hei imdiately took out a pill and administered it to him, giving him three in succession before Man Jin's aura stabilized, no longer declining.
"He's too severely injured, his life force greatly depleted, he needs rest," Xu Hei said solemnly.
To kill two Core Formation cultivators, Man Jin had exerted all his strength, burning his life force at a heavy cost.
The elephant herd fell into silence.
This ti, they suffered great losses, with their leader unconscious and many elite tribesn dead or wounded.
The silver lining was that their children were unhard.
Xu Hei's warning was crucial for them.
"We cannot repay Senior Xu's kindness."
An old elephant was moved to tears.
All the elephants bowed to Xu Hei.
Such kindness cannot be expressed in words; it's no exaggeration to say that in the future, they would be willing to go through fire and water for Xu Hei.
At this mont, the lion pack led by the Purple Lightning Lion King arrived belatedly.
"Damn it! I was trapped by a formation, only just arriving now," the Purple Lightning Lion King cursed.
Xu Hei was not surprised by this; Qin Xuanji's arrangents would certainly have also stalled the Purple Lightning Lion King, otherwise, he wouldn't have been lured in.
Xu Hei held no grudge.
Ultimately, it was about strength!
If not for the Demon Lord's sudden intervention, Xu Hei didn't know what kind of situation he would have faced.
Qin Xuanji was too powerful, the strongest Core Formation cultivator he had ever seen, capable of making a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator cough up blood with just a glance, terrifyingly strong.
The only thods Xu Hei could think of were using eight Small Teleportation Talismans or rging with the Black Dragon Pagoda, and whether he could escape would purely depend on luck.
"Lei ng, you need not bla yourself; this was a conspiracy against ."
Xu Hei briefly explained what had happened.
"What do you an against you? This was clearly against all of us demonic beasts!"
The Purple Lightning Lion King was furious.
With his fiery temper, he wished to destroy another city, but now he was powerless to do so. Impulsiveness does not an courting death.
"The Heavenly Puppet Sect being targeted by the Demon Lord likely ans they won't dare to co again. Do you still plan to move thousands of miles away?" Xu Hei asked.
The Purple Lightning Lion King pondered for a long ti before sighing.
"The Heavenly Puppet Sect may not co, but they can send others. The major sects in the Qin Kingdom, like this Iron Mountain Sect, are as nurous as cattle, not to ntion the super families like the Bai Family."
"We are too weak to challenge them."
The Purple Lightning Lion King looked at the unconscious Man Jin, thought of his own situation, and could only swallow this bitter pill.
They couldn't rely on the Demon Lord for everything. The Wu Mountain Range was vast and endless, with countless demon clans; the Demon Lord couldn't possibly look after them individually.
Frankly, they were insignificant among the demon clans.
No one could fathom the Demon Lord's intentions.
"Senior Lei ng, if you don't mind, why not settle here? Our Wild Giant Elephant Tribe welcos you," an old elephant suggested.
