After killing Ximen Piaoxue and destroying Mingjian Villa, Xiao Han returned to the Pure Cloud Sect to bid farewell. Then, he was directly teleported to the Demon Hero Tower.
On a certain floor of the Demon Hero Tower.
In a mysterious room.
The room was shining brightly and was enshrouded in divine light. The mist was deep and the air was full of immortal qi. There were thousands of bright moons floating on the four walls, which were engraved with dense talismans.
"Hmm?"
Xiao Han's spirit was tense. He walked around the room for a while.
At this moment …
"Xiao Han …"
The spiritual fluctuation of a high-level official also penetrated into the room and made a sound.
His voice was filled with unbearable excitement.
"This … this really makes me very excited … This plan is aimed at Yan Lang … Xiao Han, you know now that Yan Lang is the biggest black sheep of our human world. His harm is even greater than those great demon emperors … Our human world will be in danger if we don't get rid of Yan Lang … Good, good, good. Now, we can finally start this plan … We will name this plan 'Project Ether', which means to save the heavens.
This plan is the biggest secret of the human world!
Even the elders don't know the details of this plan … "
"Project Ether?" Xiao Han sneered in his heart.
However, Xiao Han had to go to the Demon Metropolis. On the one hand, it was because the demon egg in his heart seemed to be summoned by something. On the other hand, Shao Yunrong's poison could only be cured through Yan Lang.
Otherwise, Shao Yunrong would definitely die.
"Then, let's start the plan …" The high-level official announced in an extremely serious tone.
"Boom ~ ~ Boom ~ ~ Boom ~ ~"
From the middle of the room.
Slowly, a glazed palm rose up from the ground.
The palm of this palm.
It was holding a pill.
This pill was the size of a fist and had a blue luster. However, the demon qi contained in it was simply overwhelming and unimaginable.
Moreover, from the inside of the pill.
The ferocious roars of the Demonic Race exploded out. It was as if there were billions of purest Demonic Race bloodlines sealed within the pill, and they were howling at every moment. It was as if these Demonic Race could come out at any moment to devour humans and bring disaster to the world.
Countless twisted ancient demon talismans.
Layers upon layers of pills were wrapped around them.
"En … this …" All of a sudden, Xiao Han's body trembled.
He actually leaned back!
He was forced to take a step back by the Demonic Qi within the pill!
"This doesn't look like a medicinal pill at all. It's more like a world of the Demon Clan, a Demon Nation!" Xiao Han was shocked.
Putting aside consuming this pill, even an ordinary Zhenqi realm cultivator would find their mind corrupted by demonic qi if they were to approach it, and they might even lose their rationality.
Traces of violence and irritation rose in Xiao Han's heart.
At this moment, the demonic egg in his heart emitted a demonic aura of a higher grade, which slowly circulated in Xiao Han's heart.
At this moment, the Demonic Qi emitted by the pill was nothing to Xiao Han. The violence and bloodthirst in his heart faded away.
Xiao Han's state of mind became incomparably calm and steady, like still water without ripples.
Instead, he observed the pill with great interest.
"Oh?
Hahahaha … Xiao Han, you are indeed talented!
It seems that the Demonic Origin Energy in your heart can perfectly control the Demonic Qi in this pill!
This makes things easier. It will allow you to successfully carry out the first step of the plan! "The voice of the higher-ups was elated.
"Xiao Han, this pill took us tens of thousands of years of painstaking research and development.
As you can see, ordinary Zhenqi realm cultivators, even Expanded Acupoint realm or Talisman Transformation realm cultivators, will go crazy just by holding this pill, not to mention consuming it.
After consuming this pill, your entire body will be filled with Demonic Qi. Even your internal organs will be surrounded by Demonic Qi.
Your True Acupoint will be blocked by the Demonic Qi, making it impossible for you to release your True Qi or use any True Qi Divine Art.
It's fortunate that you didn't expand your True Acupoint. If you did, the Demonic Qi in the pill might not be able to block your True Acupoint. If a trace of True Qi leaked out, you will become the target of all the demons in the Demon Capital. You will be attacked by tens of thousands of demons and torn to pieces in an instant. "
"Alright, Xiao Han, you can consume this pill now!" The higher-ups said excitedly.
"In the past, there were great figures who volunteered to consume this pill. However, they could only endure it for a few hours. After a few hours, they could no longer suppress the Demonic Qi in their bodies, causing the Demonic Qi to rush to their brains and cause Qi Deviation … However, Xiao Han, you should be able to control it. Hmm, let's begin!
Consume the pill!
The Demonic Qi in this pill is enough for you to disguise yourself as a high-level Demon Emperor.
Even I can't see through this disguise.
The experts of the Demon World will also be deceived and won't be able to see through it! "
"After I consume this pill and disguise myself as a Demon Emperor, how do I get rid of the Demonic Qi in the future?" Xiao Han hesitated for a while and asked.
"It doesn't matter.
When you complete the mission and return to the Demon Hero Pagoda, I will give you the antidote.
After consuming the antidote, all the Demonic Qi in your body will be dissolved and you will return to being a normal human.
Xiao Han, you don't have to worry about this.
However, if you unfortunately fail during the mission and die in the Demon Capital, it won't matter whether the antidote is the antidote or not, "the higher-ups said coldly.
"Hmm … I see …" Xiao Han pondered for a few breaths. Then, he took a step forward and grabbed the pill from the glass-like hand.
"Wait, Xiao Han, after you consume this pill, you will no longer be Xiao Han of the human race, but a Demon Emperor!
Do you have anything else to say? "The higher-ups said.
Xiao Han stopped moving.
"Alright, I will say a few last words. First, I, Xiao Han, am not a demon, but a human. This will never change. Second, I hope that the higher-ups will keep their promise and help me find the disciple of the original Sword Manor, Shao Yunrong. Third, I, Xiao Han, will definitely kill Brother Yan and come back alive!"
However, in his heart, Xiao Han also secretly swore … "Yunrong, don't worry. I will definitely get the antidote to save you!
Also, during this trip to the Demon Capital, I, Xiao Han, will definitely become stronger!
I will be ten times, a hundred times stronger than I am now! "
"Alright.
Xiao Han.
What you said.
I know everything.
Don't worry about everything.
Take the pill, "the higher-ups said.
Without batting an eyelid, Xiao Han put the pill filled with demonic aura and the roar of ten thousand beasts into his mouth!
"Roar!!!!
Roar!!!! "
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it was as if there were countless ferocious demons rushing into Xiao Han's body!
Then, waves of Demonic Qi.
Wisdom poured into Xiao Han's limbs and bones!
Meridians and internal organs!
Pores and blood!
Cells and bone marrow!
All of a sudden, Xiao Han became frantic and uneasy!
However, Xiao Han did not panic. He sat cross-legged and guarded his mind and spirit.
With a thought, the demon egg in his heart began to wriggle.
It was very strange. After the monstrous Demonic Qi in the pill entered Xiao Han's body.
At first, it was very violent, rioting everywhere.
It wanted to occupy Xiao Han's body.
However, after the demon egg in Xiao Han's heart wriggled for a while, the Demonic Qi in Xiao Han's body suddenly became obedient.
For example, it was like a group of rebels suddenly being suppressed by an emperor!
It caused the rebels to become docile and obedient.
In the next moment …
Suddenly, Xiao Han's jet-black hair turned silvery-white in color!
Xiao Han's eyes also became demonic, filled with evil and savagery.
Inside Xiao Han's body, a distant and evil demonic song actually sounded faintly.
Rays of demonic light appeared from Xiao Han's pores and cells. Demons rule the world, rule the world!
At this moment, Xiao Han's face seemed to be chiseled by knives and axes. His sharp and angular face exuded a demonic handsomeness.
His appearance seemed to be even more unrestrained than before, and the demonic light inadvertently revealed in his eyes was simply bewitching and frightening.
Together with his full head of silver hair, there was not a single part of his image that did not show the word 'demon'.
It could be said that although Xiao Han's facial features did not change, and he still looked the same as before, his temperament had changed completely. It was very demonic, extremely demonic.
"As expected, the demon egg in my heart has a master-subordinate relationship with the Demonic Qi in the pill. Now, I can control the Demonic Qi in my body as easily as I want …"
With a slight thought, all the Demonic Qi in Xiao Han's body gathered in between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a demonic light shone brightly. From between Xiao Han's eyebrows, waves of monstrous Demonic Qi were released, forming a huge ball that continuously expanded and wriggled.
Traces of Demonic Qi were evaporating from Xiao Han's pores, circulating ceaselessly.
As expected, the fifty true meridians in Xiao Han's body were blocked and sealed by the Demonic Qi. There was no leakage of true qi at all.
Now, in everyone's eyes, Xiao Han was definitely not a human, but a demon through and through.
If a demon saw Xiao Han, they would definitely treat him as one of their own!
"Perfect!!!!" The higher-ups exclaimed. They were completely stunned by Xiao Han's current state!
"This disguise can be said to be perfect!
Even with my ability, I can't see the slightest flaw!
Hahahahaha!
Xiao Han, in this world, except for yourself, no one will know that you are actually a human!
Hahahahaha! "
"Hmm … The feeling now is really strange." Xiao Han also murmured.
The torrential Demonic Qi in his body almost formed a nebula whirlpool, constantly circulating.
As long as he thought about it, the Demonic Qi would be released from his body. His five viscera and six bowels, bones, blood vessels, and meridians were all soaked in the Demonic Qi.
At this moment …
"Xiu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
A silver mask floated in front of Xiao Han.
This mask seemed to be made of pure silver. It had a simple and unadorned style. There were many Demonic Clan runes engraved on the mask. There were two holes where the eyes should be.
It gave people a strange and terrifying feeling.
"Xiao Han, after entering the Demon Metropolis, you can wear this mask. Then, your disguise will be even more perfect. It will be practically invulnerable." The higher-ups were inexplicably excited.
"I found this mask in an ancient Demon Clan tribe. Legend has it that in ancient times, it belonged to the son of a Demon Emperor, who is also a Demon Emperor.
Hmm … after entering the Demon Metropolis, you will also need a title. How about you call yourself 'Silver Mask Demon Emperor'? "
"Silver Mask Demon Emperor?" Xiao Han thought for a moment and then immediately shrugged.
"It's okay. Then I'll call myself 'Silver Mask Demon Emperor'."
Then, a medicine bottle appeared in front of Xiao Han.
Xiao Han reached out and grabbed the bottle.
"Xiao Han, these are all treasured medicines that can shield the Demonic Qi. There are 100 pills in the bottle, and each pill can last for a day.
Take the treasured medicine and hide the Demonic Qi. If you deliberately make it mysterious, it will be even more difficult for people to catch you. "The higher-ups considered everything carefully.
"That will work too." Xiao Han put the medicine bottle in the storage ring.
"Xiao Han, now leave all the things related to the human race behind. Don't carry them with you." The higher-ups continued.
"By the way, hand over your Evil Hero Token to me for safekeeping.
You must not bring the Evil Hero Token into the Demon Metropolis. You must know this. "
"Hmm …" Xiao Han also nodded.
So, Xiao Han took out the Evil Hero Token, the supreme-grade True Qi Spirit Stone, the martial arts manuals … everything and put them in the small room.
He only left a storage ring, which stored many Heavenly Desolate Demon Fruits.
Then, densely packed herbs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures floated in front of Xiao Han.
"Xiao Han, these are the herbs we prepared for you. They are all extremely rare herbs in the world. Yan Lang is an alchemist. He will be excited to see these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. If you give these herbs to him as a birthday gift, he should value you. Maybe he will meet you.
As long as he meets you, you will have a chance to kill him! "
Xue Ling Fruit, Thousand Leaves Dew, Snow Peak Fruit, Fire Grass, Ice Crystal, Soul Condensing Stone, Flood Dragon Blood … The higher-ups gave many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Xiao Han.
Those were the gifts prepared for Yan Lang.
Xiao Han put these things in the storage ring.
Then …
"Swoosh ~ ~ ~ Swoosh ~ ~ Swoosh ~ ~ ~"
Beams of light entered Xiao Han's mind.
Those beams of light formed a map in Xiao Han's mind.
"Xiao Han, this is the map to the Demon Metropolis. There are also some things to take note of," the higher-ups said.
"Well …" Xiao Han scanned the map with his mind power and nodded.
"Oh, so the Demon Metropolis is outside the Evil Hero Domain."
"Okay, Xiao Han, let's go!
You have to enter the Demon Metropolis before Yan Lang's birthday.
Only then will you have a chance to assassinate Yan Lang, "the higher-ups said.
"Besides, Xiao Han, from now on, you must remember that you are no longer the 'Xiao Han' of the human race, but the 'Silver Mask Demon Emperor' of the demon race.
You are an advanced Demon Emperor.
Right now, the way you look at things and your mentality cannot be viewed from the perspective of a human. You have to think of yourself as a member of the demon race.
The world of the demon race is more brutal and direct than the human world. The law of the jungle prevails.
On your way to the Demon Metropolis, you will kill anyone who dares to provoke you, be it humans or demons.
You are cruel and merciless. I'm not worried about that.
In short, you have to be cruel and indifferent in order to gain the trust of the demon race.
The more brutal you are, the more those guys will treat you as one of their own. "
"Well … is that so?
No matter what happens, I have to be unreasonable and speak with my strength? "Xiao Han licked his lips.
"Yes, cruel, tyrannical, manic, insidious, bloodthirsty, selfish …" the higher-ups said word by word.
"I see.
I'll set off now. "Xiao Han nodded.
"I'll personally teleport you out of the Evil Hero Domain now.
I'll let you enter the area bordering the Evil Hero Domain and the Demon Metropolis.
In this area, you may encounter the Evil Hero. If necessary, you can attack and kill them directly! "the higher-ups said coldly.
"Silver Mask Demon Emperor!
Let's go!
To the Demon Metropolis! "
…
