Chapter 1184: Discovering Xuening
"They've reached the peak!"
"What was that aura emanating from that guy, Su Jingzhen? Could he be a hidden Starry Sky Demon?"
"I hope the final result is what we want. Otherwise, I, the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, will truly beco a sinner of the Nethersea."
"..."
The eight Ghost Emperors maintained the barrier while watching the scene at the mountain peak, their expressions grave.
However, after Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang reached the summit, even with their divine senses fully extended, they could not see what was happening.
The demonic aura at the summit beca even stronger. This aura was emanating from a huge crater at the summit.
The presence of the Lifeless Demon King was deep inside that crater.
At this place, the aura of the Ninth Stage Immortal Emperor beca even more intense.
Shuang Jiang looked at Su Jingzhen with a serious expression.
"At the bottom of this crater, I can sense a wave of Sealing Energy. The Lifeless Demon King probably hasn't broken free yet.
In order to eliminate this threat, we need to go down and strengthen the seal. However, this is extrely dangerous. The slightest misstep, and if he breaks free, we might not make it out alive".
Her tone was serious. Even as a high-level Immortal Emperor, she felt a sense of dread facing this situation.
Su Jingzhen raised her eyebrows. "If he hasn't broken the seal and can't escape the crater, can you protect us with your current strength?"
"Absolutely!"
Shuang Jiang nodded without hesitation.
No matter how powerful the Lifeless Demon King was, even if he had once been a Supre Immortal Emperor, he was now weakened and still sealed.
If Shuang Jiang didn't have so much confidence, she wouldn't have made it this far.
Upon hearing her reply, Su Jingzhen's eyes showed determination.
"Then let's go down and take a look. As long as he can't break free, I might have a way to deal with him.
Most importantly, there's still no sign of Xuening. I believe she's sowhere on Death Mountain, and the most likely place is inside this crater.
I don't know why she ca here or how she got here, but I must find her".
Shuang Jiang nodded.
Since they had co this far, it was only natural for them to investigate further.
After making their decision, the two of them didn't hesitate.
Su Jingzhen's body still radiated pure demonic energy, and the oppressive aura at the peak didn't reject them.
They descended into the crater unhindered. As soon as they entered, a hoarse voice echoed in Su Jingzhen's ears.
"Yuan Shi, co and help !"
The voice sounded urgent.
Su Jingzhen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this had to be the Lifeless Demon King.
"He's calling for . He seems worried," Su Jingzhen quietly told Shuang Jiang.
Shuang Jiang's sword was still in her hand, and the energy of the Eighth Stage Immortal Emperor surged within her, ready to unleash its full power at any mont.
Before they reached the bottom of the crater, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang's hearts tightened again.
At this depth, they sensed an extrely holy aura, completely different from that of the Lifeless Demon King.
"Xuening! This is Xuening's aura!"
Upon sensing this, Su Jingzhen was overwheld with excitent.
Earlier, when they had climbed the mountain without sensing any trace of Xuening, and knowing that the peak housed the Demon King, he had harbored a sense of foreboding.
He had even wondered if Xuening, or perhaps the Yunng Goddess, was the reincarnation of the Lifeless Demon King in the cultivation world.
Now, with the aura of both the Lifeless Demon King and Xuening present, that thought was dispelled. With this, he had no more reservations.
Maintaining the demonic aura of the Starry Sky Demons, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang quickly reached the bottom of the crater.
The space here was vast, filled with an incredibly advanced and chaotic energy.
The pure essence of the Starry Sky Demons perated the area. If Yuan Shi and the Ming Long were brought here, they would likely consider it a holy land.
At the bottom of the crater, two figures were sitting.
One was dressed in a white robe, her eyes closed, surrounded by a halo of multicolored light. It quietly protected the area within three zhang around her. Despite the surging demonic energy, it couldn't approach her. Updates are released by n0velfire
This was none other than Xuening, the person Su Jingzhen had been longing to find. Her aura had already reached the Third Stage Immortal Emperor level, far beyond what Su Jingzhen had imagined.
About a hundred zhang away from Xuening, a figure dressed in black robes was sitting.
His face was marked with twisted, sinister black runes, exuding an air of arrogance and dominance.
The aura around him was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. Even now, it radiated the power of a Ninth Stage Immortal Emperor.
Ancient sacred runes surrounded him. Every ti he struggled to stand, the runes would glow with a holy light, sending currents of energy through him and forcing him back down.
Each ti, his face would contort in pain.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang imdiately recognized him - the Lifeless Demon King. The runes surrounding him were the seals binding him.
Noticing the arrival of Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang, both Xuening and the Lifeless Demon King opened their eyes. A glimr of hope appeared in their eyes.
"Yuan Shi, you've co at the right ti! Break through this woman's protective barrier! She is the last obstacle preventing from breaking this seal.
Kill her, and I will be free!
My demonic might will sweep across the Nethersea.
Then I will reopen the seal between the Immortal Realm and the Starry Sky Demons.
The Starry Sky Demons will rise again, and this ti, the Immortal Realm will be powerless to stop us!"
The Lifeless Demon King clearly knew about the Demon General Yuan Shi.
He could sense the pure demonic essence emanating from Su Jingzhen, which was the sa as Yuan Shi's.
Even though Su Jingzhen's appearance was different, it didn't matter to him. The Starry Sky Demons only recognized the essence of demonic energy.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang's hearts tightened again.
They imdiately understood the situation. Once again, they felt that borrowing Yuan Shi's demonic essence had been the right choice.
Su Jingzhen's consciousness imdiately returned to where Yuan Shi was.
"Give all the demonic essence you can muster!"
He didn't waste any words.
Seeing Su Jingzhen in this state, Yuan Shi didn't dare to hesitate or ask any questions. He imdiately gathered up all the demonic essence he could and handed it over to Su Jingzhen.
The next mont, Yuan Shi's face turned pale. Obviously, extracting so much essence at once had taken a toll on him.
Su Jingzhen's face showed satisfaction.
"Once this is done, I will grant you unimaginable rewards."
Su Jingzhen imdiately infused this demonic essence into his main body. Then, he respectfully addressed the Lifeless Demon King.
"Please wait a mont, Demon King!"
