The nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Demonic Mountain were like a natural chasm that pierced straight into the clouds.
Only by truly stepping onto the steps of the Demonic Mountain would one be able to understand how terrifying the will of the Ten Thousand Demons was. Even though Fang Chen's Primordial Spirit had long stepped into the Martial Emperor realm, he still could not resist the invasion of the will of the Ten Thousand Demons.
If not for his strong will and the help of his doppelganger in Divine Blood City, including Fire Demon True Monarch and many other experts, he would have long fallen into the demonic path and become a puppet of the will of the Myriad Demons.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen took a deep breath and slowly got up. Although his Primordial Spirit was still in pain, his spirit was clearly much better.
Thinking back to the previous scene, his heart was filled with tempestuous waves.
"The will of the Ten Thousand Demons is too powerful."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
"The wills of all the demons in the world gathered together is of course powerful."
At this moment, the black figure said, "Of course, you were able to reach the peak of the Demonic Mountain through your own efforts, which is even more powerful."
The black figure looked at Fang Chen with burning eyes. He was the only cultivator who had successfully passed the steps of the Demonic Mountain and stepped onto the peak of the Demonic Mountain during the Age of Doom.
"How is it? Do you feel that your Primordial Spirit has transformed a lot?"
The black figure looked at Fang Chen and grinned.
Fang Chen checked his Primordial Spirit and was immediately stunned.
"This..."
He had not noticed it before, but now that he took a closer look, his heart was filled with shock.
At this moment, the ball of Primordial Spirit light in his mind had more than doubled in size.
In that dazzling ball of light, there was a frightening power.
And Fang Chen had once sensed this power from the World Devastation Demon Emperor.
"The will of the Ten Thousand Demons is the strongest will in the Demon Emperor's mausoleum and the strongest demonic will in the world."
The black figure explained, "In the eyes of outsiders, the invasion of the will of the Ten Thousand Demons is extremely terrifying and the slightest carelessness can lead to death.
However, in my opinion, the invasion of the will of the Ten Thousand Demons is an excellent opportunity to temper the Primordial Spirit. "
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded.
Indeed, the will of the Ten Thousand Demons was too powerful. The strength of the will of the last level of the Ten Thousand Demons had far surpassed that of a Boundary Emperor and was close to that of a Martial Emperor.
Moreover, the Demonic Dao itself was a Dao that paid great attention to slaughter.
In their world, killing was the only way to survive.
Therefore, the Myriad Fiend Will was filled with dense killing intent that constantly corroded Fang Chen's primordial spirit.
As for his Yuan Spirit, it was gradually growing as it resisted the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demon Will.
Everyone knew that once one's primordial spirit reached the Soul Dao Realm, one would be considered to be at the peak of the Soul Dao.
It was too difficult for him to improve further unless his Yuan Spirit underwent a qualitative transformation.
However, even experts at the level of Region Lords would find it difficult to accomplish this.
However, the will of 10,000 Demons was no ordinary will. It was an extremely terrifying will in the world.
Fang Chen's Primordial Spirit was only able to transform under such intense destruction.
His original Yuan Spirit light ball was already comparable to the size of a domain lord, and now it had more than doubled in size. This also meant that the strength of his Yuan Spirit was comparable to that of a Quasi-emperor expert.
"Hu!"
Fang Chen's eyes were burning, and his face was full of excitement.
With the transformation of his Primordial Spirit, his overall strength had also undergone a qualitative leap.
"What?
You're so happy? "
The black figure curled his lips, "The transformation of your Primordial Spirit can be considered a small benefit from climbing the steps of the Demon Mountain. The real benefit is at the peak of the Demon Mountain."
"Senior, please enlighten me." Fang Chen restrained his emotions and asked with cupped fists.
The black figure said, "The existence of the Demon Emperor's Tomb is too long ago, so long that no one knows its origin."
"In the ancient times, before the Battle of the Gods, I once fought with a Quasi-emperor expert. In the end, my enemy was killed by me on the spot.
However, I also suffered serious injuries because of this. "
"In the end, it was an injury caused by the traces of the Great Dao. I tried everything, but I couldn't heal it.
At that time, there was only one way in front of me, and that was to break through to the Emperor Realm.
However … "
The black figure smiled helplessly. How could it be so easy to step into the Emperor Realm?
The black figure didn't finish his words, but Fang Chen had already guessed it. The black figure was severely injured by the traces of the Great Dao and finally died.
As for his remnant will, it was absorbed by the Demon Mountain into the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
"I once told you that any expert above the Quasi-emperor level, after they die, their remnant will will be absorbed into the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
Once they enter the Demon Emperor's Tomb, their remnant will be eroded and eventually demonized. "
Fang Chen nodded. He had previously encountered a demonized ancient heroic soul. It had forgotten itself and became a walking corpse.
"Those demonized remnant wills are scattered all over the Demon Emperor's Tomb, maintaining the order of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
Of course, there are also a small number of remnant wills that, through some special environments, shed their demonic qi and live on. "The black figure said.
Fang Chen thought of the Tianyuan City Lord who had saved his life.
The latter was once a Quasi-emperor expert, even older than the Immortal Emperor.
He had successfully shed his demonic qi.
"Those demonized remnant wills basically have their combat strength reduced sharply.
However, I am an exception because I am the guardian of the Demon Mountain. "
The black figure continued, "The Demon Mountain chose me to protect the Demon Mountain, never to step out of the Demon Mountain.
Of course, in exchange, I have the combat strength of my previous life. "
At this point, the black figure sighed.
If not for the fact that they had no other choice, who would be willing to live on like this?
The black figure spoke for a long time and Fang Chen finally understood the meaning of the Demon Mountain's existence.
The Demon Mountain was the core of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. As for whether the Demon Emperor's Tomb had an owner, no one knew.
"Look ahead."
All of a sudden, the black silhouette pointed to the peak of the Devil Mountain. Fang Chen turned his head and looked over, only to see an endless stretch of mountain peaks. These mountain peaks had varying heights and were all different from each other. The only similarity was that the surroundings of each mountain peak were enveloped by a vast amount of devil qi.
"You must be very curious whether there are any remnant wills of the Quasi-emperor level experts in the Demon Emperor's Tomb?" The black figure asked.
Fang Chen's eyes flickered and he was somewhat curious.
"Since ancient times, among the remnant wills of the Quasi-emperor level experts, the remnant wills of Quasi-emperors have no qualifications to step on the Demon Mountain. They are scattered all over the Demon Emperor's Tomb, maintaining order.
And in each mountain peak of the Demon Mountain, there is a remnant will of the Quasi-emperor level expert. "
Fang Chen's heartbeat quickened as he stared at the mountain peaks with a fiery gaze.
He clenched his fists and murmured, "Remnant wills of the Quasi-emperor level experts?"
"These remnant wills of the Quasi-emperor level experts exist in each mountain peak. Although they have been dead for countless years, they still have some unimaginable methods."
The black figure continued, "Now that you have passed the Stairway of the Demon Mountain, you have the qualifications to obtain the methods of the Quasi-emperor level experts.
This can be considered an opportunity bestowed to you by the Demon Mountain. As for whether you can grasp it or not, that will depend on yourself. "
"In that case, I can choose any mountain peak I want?" Fang Chen asked.
Bzz!
Just as the sound of Fang Chen's voice faded, the many mountain peaks suddenly trembled. Following that, a terrifying aura appeared in the air above the Demon Mountain. This aura caused Fang Chen's body to sway.
"Remnant wills of the Quasi-emperor level experts?"
Fang Chen exclaimed. He raised his head and his heart trembled.
At this moment, dark clouds covered the sky. In the dark clouds that flashed with lightning, Fang Chen could vaguely feel an extremely powerful will.
"It has been a long time since a human stepped onto the peak of the Demon Mountain."
"Kid, I see that the sword qi in your body is majestic. I happen to have a set of sword techniques in my hands. If you choose my mountain peak, I will impart it to you."
"I also have a void technique …"
Chaotic voices entered Fang Chen's ears.
Fang Chen was stunned. What was going on?
These high and mighty Quasi-emperor level remnant wills were fighting to impart their techniques to him?
Quasi-emperor level experts were the strongest existences in the entire Immemorial Chaos.
After the Battle of Gods, only the Immortal Emperor had reached the Quasi-emperor level.
And in this Demon Monarch's tomb, he actually saw so many Quasi-emperor level remnant wills. Fang Chen was a little shocked and didn't know what to choose for a moment.
"Their primordial spirits have long been shattered. The remnant wills absorbed by the Demon Mountain are only a part of their obsessions. Because of the uniqueness of the Demon Mountain, they have always existed."
The black shadow explained, "These Quasi-emperor level remnant wills have not been demonized. They remember everything that happened when they were alive. After staying on the Demon Mountain for a long time, they feel lonely. As long as someone reaches the peak of the Demon Mountain, they will warmly invite them."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned.
If this was in the outside world, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
But in the Demon Monarch's tomb, it was so normal.
Fang Chen shook his head. The Demon Monarch's tomb was really too mysterious.
"You can choose any mountain peak." The black shadow said, "But once you choose, you can't go back on it. So you have to be careful."
Fang Chen nodded. His dark eyes looked at every mountain peak.
In the sky, the Quasi-emperor level remnant wills were all watching him.
However, just as Fang Chen was thinking, suddenly, an aura that shook the Demon Mountain quietly appeared.
The moment this aura appeared, the Quasi-emperor level remnant wills in the sky instantly returned to their respective mountains.
"Hmm?"
Fang Chen also noticed this scene. "These Quasi-emperor level remnant wills seem to be very afraid of this dark aura."
The black shadow's expression changed drastically. He directly knelt on the ground, looking very nervous.
"Senior, this is?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
"You are very lucky to have attracted the attention of the Demon Monarch." The black shadow said, "Do you see the mountain in the center of the peaks?"
Fang Chen looked over and was surprised to discover that the mountain looked ordinary and mediocre. There was nothing special about it at all.
"Do you know where the will of the Demon Monarch that you endured on the steps of the Demon Mountain came from?" The black shadow asked.
Fang Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Don't tell me it came from that mountain peak?"
The black shadow nodded. "That mountain peak is the core of the Demon Mountain and also the source of the will of the Demon Monarch. Since ancient times, there have been few strange movements on that mountain peak.
But recently, because of you, the Demon Monarch's aura has been emitted from that mountain peak.
This means that they have taken a fancy to you. "
Being chosen by the Demon Monarch, the other Quasi-emperor level remnant wills naturally didn't dare to fight for Fang Chen.
At this moment, in the sky, a melodious voice came from the monstrous demonic qi.
