Boom!
Dark clouds covered the sky. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning swooped down and struck the ground.
Dust flew and the entire ground trembled.
In the core area of the Demon Monarch's mausoleum, darkness shrouded the earth and a terrifying demonic aura soared into the sky.
A mountain peak towered into the clouds, standing on the dark land.
This mountain was called the Demon Mountain and was the core of the Demon Monarch's mausoleum.
Crack!
The void was torn apart and a bright light streaked across the sky above the Demon Mountain. Following that, three figures fell onto the Demon Mountain.
Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! At this moment, heavy rain fell from the sky.
The three figures lay on the ground, unconscious.
Soon, their clothes were drenched by the rain.
The Demon Mountain was still calm, as if it was not affected at all.
Only at the moment when the three fell did a black aura emerge from the peak of the Demon Mountain.
The rain became heavier and heavier. In the end, it was like a waterfall from the nine heavens, as if it was going to raze the entire Demon Mountain to the ground.
After some time, the sky finally regained its blue color and the rain stopped. The oppressive aura that shrouded the Demon Mountain also gradually disappeared.
The air after the rain was especially fresh.
Halfway up the mountain, the three gradually woke up.
Fang Chen felt pain all over his body, as if his bones were about to fall apart. He tried hard to open his eyes.
"What's going on?"
He immediately realized that he was drenched. Puzzled, he turned his head with difficulty and saw the barbarian and the white-bearded old man.
The two of them were also waking up. Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Where did the teleportation array send us?"
After a long time, Fang Chen's strength recovered to a certain extent. He got up and looked around.
"Where is this place?
Why do I feel a monstrous demonic aura? "
Fang Chen was shocked. His Primordial Spirit was actually trembling. This was something that had never happened before.
"Could it be that there is a Quasi-emperor expert on the peak of the mountain?"
Other than the time when he met the World Devastator Demon Emperor, his Primordial Spirit had never experienced such a situation.
"It hurts."
The barbarian shouted loudly, his face a little pale.
On the side, his master, the white-bearded old man, was rather quiet. "Those three fellows destroyed the teleportation array, causing our teleportation to almost fail."
Taking a deep breath, the white-bearded old man continued, "Fortunately, Little Ye's body contains the power of Master's bloodline. Otherwise, it is very likely that we would have died in the spatial turbulence."
During the teleportation process, the biggest taboo was the destruction of the teleportation array.
If the teleportation failed, they would fall into the spatial turbulence and their lives would be in danger.
"Master, what is this place?
Why is the blood in my body circulating uncontrollably? "The barbarian turned around and asked.
"This should be the location of the Barbarian Emperor's inheritance."
The white-bearded old man muttered.
The three of them rested for a moment and finally recovered a portion of their strength. They slowly got up and walked towards the mountain peak.
"This mountain is so strange."
The higher they went, the more shocked Fang Chen became.
The monstrous Demonic Qi in the void was getting stronger and stronger, to the point where he could barely breathe.
Moreover, he felt an extremely strong resentment. This kind of resentment could even make his Primordial Spirit of the Emperor Realm somewhat hesitant. One could imagine how strong the resentment was.
"Could it be that all the Ancient Heroic Souls that were sucked in by the Demon Emperor's tomb are gathered here?"
Fang Chen was a little nervous. After all, because of the special environment of the Demon Emperor's tomb, the Ancient Heroic Souls had forgotten themselves and became synonymous with killing.
If it was as he guessed, then they were heading towards hell.
Boom!
Just as they walked for a distance, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
As soon as this black shadow appeared, it brought with it an extremely strong oppressive aura.
"A Quasi-emperor?"
Fang Chen's pupils shrank as he cried out involuntarily.
The white-bearded old man was also shocked. He subconsciously protected the barbarian behind him and prepared to escape.
"Senior, we did not mean to offend you. We just happened to pass by. Sorry for the offense."
Fang Chen cupped his fists and hurriedly said.
"You are quite capable to be able to come to the Demon Mountain."
The black shadow was not angry. Instead, he said calmly, "You came here by the Barbarian Emperor's teleportation array. It seems that there are descendants of the Barbarian Emperor among you."
His eyes turned and looked at the barbarian.
The white-bearded old man took a few steps back and stared at the black shadow vigilantly.
"Hehe, if I make a move, can you stop me?"
Seeing this, the black shadow sneered.
"I didn't expect that after the Barbarian Emperor had fallen for so many years, his descendants would actually find this place.
Back then, the Barbarian Emperor and I could be considered old friends. His inheritance was left on the Demon Mountain.
Forget it, I will send you to the Barbarian Emperor's inheritance. Whether you can accept it or not will depend on your luck. "
As the black shadow's voice fell, the barbarian disappeared.
"Disciple."
The white-bearded old man called out loudly, very anxious.
The black shadow looked at the two of them. "Do the two of you know where this place is?"
"Demon Mountain?" Fang Chen asked.
"In the Demon Emperor's tomb, the most important place is the Demon Mountain.
On the Demon Mountain, there is the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Demons.
The remnant thoughts of those experts who died in the ancient era were all sucked in by the Demon Mountain. "
"To be precise, as long as a Quasi-emperor dies in this Primal Chaos Realm, their remnant thoughts will definitely be sucked into the Demon Emperor's tomb. No one can change this situation." The black shadow smiled. "If you can find the Demon Mountain, you have the qualifications to explore the Demon Mountain."
After pausing for a moment, the black shadow continued. "I am the guardian of the Demon Mountain. Now, there are only two paths in front of you. The first is to pass through the various obstacles, climb the Demon Mountain, and choose the inheritance of the Demon Dao."
"The second is to cut off one of your arms and leave the Demon Emperor's tomb."
Hearing this, the expressions of Fang Chen and the white-bearded old man changed.
They were shocked. They didn't expect the Demon Mountain to be so terrifying.
To be able to absorb the remnant thoughts of any fallen Quasi-emperors in the Primal Chaos Realm, and those remnant thoughts couldn't resist. This was too terrifying.
The black shadow in front of them was a Quasi-emperor expert. In front of a Quasi-emperor, Fang Chen and the white-bearded old man didn't have any thoughts of escaping.
The two exchanged glances. Then, they said, "Senior, may I ask what needs to be done in order to reach the peak of the Demon Mountain?"
"Brat, you are quite smart. To be able to reach the World King Realm at such a young age, you have great potential."
The black shadow looked at Fang Chen with fiery eyes. Then, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I have already fallen. Otherwise, I could give you some pointers."
Fang Chen's heart trembled. He suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that the black shadow in front of him was also a Quasi-emperor remnant thought that was sucked in by the Demon Mountain?
But why did she feel that he was so real?
"To reach the peak of the Demon Mountain, one has to withstand the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills. If one is unable to withstand it, one will die on the spot."
The black shadow continued, "Of course, if one can successfully reach the peak and withstand the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills, it will be extremely beneficial to one's Primordial Spirit.
Thirty million years ago, a Realm Evolution Realm cultivator came here and resisted the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills to reach the peak of the Demon Mountain.
He obtained a Demon Dao inheritance and stepped into the Quasi-emperor Realm. "
Fang Chen was shocked. Just by resisting the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills, one could step into the Quasi-emperor Realm from the Realm Evolution Realm. Wasn't this too exaggerated?
If he could successfully resist it, would he be able to step into the Realm Evolution Realm?
Or an even higher level?
"The Ten Thousand Demonic Wills are too powerful. If one is not careful, they will fall into the Demon Dao and fall into eternal damnation.
Your Primordial Spirit has already stepped into the Emperor Realm, so you can give it a try. As for him, I think you should forget about it. "
The black shadow shook his head.
Obviously, he was not optimistic about the white-bearded old man.
Fang Chen turned his head and looked at the white-bearded old man.
"Will my disciple be in danger?" The white-bearded old man was most worried about the barbarian.
"Danger?
He has the bloodline of the Barbarian Emperor. If he cannot obtain the recognition of the Barbarian Emperor's inheritance, then what is the use of living? "The black shadow sneered." If he wants to walk down the Demon Mountain alive, he can only accept the Barbarian Emperor's inheritance. "
Hearing this, the white-bearded old man's expression changed. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he was interrupted by the black shadow.
"You want to ascend the Demon Mountain to protect your disciple?"
The black shadow said. "I advise you not to make such a fearless sacrifice. If I were you, I would cut off one of my arms and wait for my disciple to return at the foot of the Demon Mountain."
After saying that, the black shadow stopped talking, giving the two of them some time to think.
Fang Chen walked in front of the white-bearded old man.
"Senior, my Primordial Spirit has already stepped into the Emperor Realm, so it is slightly stronger than yours.
It is also easier to resist the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills.
Just as the Boundary Emperor said, with the strength of your Primordial Spirit, it is impossible to resist the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills.
Therefore, senior should wait at the foot of the Demon Mountain. "
After all, cutting off an arm was better than losing his life.
"The barbarian is my brother. If I can successfully ascend the Demon Mountain, I will definitely protect him," Fang Chen said.
He did not say the rest of the words because if he died, everything would be meaningless. There was naturally no need to say it.
The white-bearded old man gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I will wait for you at the foot of the Demon Mountain."
Bang!
The white-bearded old man gritted his teeth and slapped his arm.
In an instant, blood spurted out and his severed arm fell to the ground.
He quickly stopped the bleeding, then glanced at the peak of the Demon Mountain and turned to leave.
Halfway up the mountain, only Fang Chen and the black shadow were left.
"Your courage is worthy of praise.
But to ascend the Demon Mountain, courage is not enough, you also need strength, "the black shadow said." Do you see that? That small path is the only way to reach the peak of the Demon Mountain. "
Fang Chen turned his head and looked. There was an endless staircase that went from the mountainside to the clouds.
"This path has a total of 999 steps. The closer you get to the peak of the Demon Mountain, the crazier the Ten Thousand Demonic Wills will be.
Moreover, in the process of your advancement, there will be many illusions that will disturb your mind.
Remember, you must maintain your original heart. "
His pitch-black eyes looked at the staircase that went straight into the clouds. Fang Chen took a deep breath and his expression became more and more solemn.
One step to life, one step to death, one step to heaven, one step to hell.
For others, there were two choices.
However, for him, there was no choice.
"Cut off my own arm?"
Fang Chen shook his head. He would not do such an action that would destroy his own cultivation path.
Demonic Qi surged into the sky, corroding the world.
One step to Buddha, one step to Demon.
