Qin Shi's expression became serious. He knew that what the demon was about to say would overturn everything he knew in the past ten years, or even the first half of his life.
The demon was silent for a long time in the dark room. Qin Shi didn't ask any questions. He just waited for the demon to speak.
Qin Shi knew that this wasn't a small matter. He needed to give the demon time to sort things out.
What exactly happened in ancient times thirty thousand years ago? What was the cause of that incomparable battle? What was his relationship with it?
Qin Shi was very curious.
The demon sighed. It seemed to be reminiscing about the past. The murderous aura around it surged like a flood or a volcano. After a while, the murderous aura was restrained, and the demon's eyes became as calm as still water. "Fine. You'll know sooner or later. I wanted to tell you when you reached the Transcendent Realm, but since you want to know now, I'll tell you."
"You asked me what realm Zhe Tian and Human Sovereign reached back then, right?" the demon asked.
Qin Shi held his breath and nodded.
"That realm … should be called the Ethereal Realm …"
"The Ethereal Realm?"
Qin Shi frowned in confusion.
"Yes. Once you reach that realm, you can transform into the void of the world and become one with it. It's not an exaggeration to say that you can cross the sky and the earth. When I went from the human world to the demon world, I didn't need to teleport. One incense stick's worth of time was enough for me to transform into the ethereal world. Once you reach that realm, you won't be limited by your lifespan."
"You've always been curious about why your Star Reversal Formation has the power to control time, right?"
"Actually, once you reach the Ethereal Realm, you'll be able to control time," the demon said.
"You can control time and space?
Is that really human? "Qin Shi exclaimed in disbelief.
Time and space had always been the two most mysterious forces in the world.
The Evil Demon smiled faintly, "Of course, to ordinary people, time is a fixed number. But once you reach a high enough level, you will gradually discover that time and space are the same. They are just a form of energy that can be changed. It's just that time and space are the same, restricted by the heavens and earth. All living things can be affected, so it's very difficult to change them on a large scale."
"Is the Ethereal Realm above the Transcendent Realm?"
"Above the Transcendent Realm …" The Nefarious Devil paused for a moment, as if it had sunk into deep thought for a long time. It shook its head, "No, the Transcendent Realm is just an enhancement of the World Realm. It is still unable to break free from this world. Above the Transcendent Realm is the Life and Death Reincarnation Realm, which controls the power of life and death. Only with nine reincarnations can one reach the Ethereal Realm. In the past, only the three of us had reached the Ethereal Realm."
"There are only three of you in the Ethereal State?" Qin Shi was shocked.
Even though Qin Shi had expected that there were even more powerful realms above the Transcendent Realm, he did not expect them to be so exaggerated.
In other words, he still had a long way to go before he could reach the Ethereal Realm?
Qin Shi finally understood why the Nefarious Devil was reluctant to tell him this. It was indeed a huge pressure on him. Facing the Ethereal Realm, Qin Shi had a feeling that it was like facing a World Realm expert in the Spirit Sealing Realm. He was like an ant. In other words, Qin Shi was just an ant in front of Zhe Tian. He could crush him with a flick of his finger.
The most frustrating thing was that it took Qin Shi fifteen years to reach the World Realm from the Spirit Sealing Realm. Who knew how many years it would take to reach the Ethereal Realm from the World Realm?
It was even possible that he would never be able to reach that threshold in his lifetime.
"What about Fufeng?
Fufeng and the others are in the Life and Death Reincarnation Realm? "
"Yes. If it's Fufeng, he should have reincarnated twice, right?
That little guy completed his first reincarnation thirty thousand years ago. As for the other two kids, they should be in the Death Realm and have just comprehended the profound meaning of life and death, "the Nefarious Devil said with a faint smile.
"Gulp …!" Qin Shi covered his mouth and spat. How could Fufeng not be strong?
But then again, it was not strange. After all, Fufeng could fight four Transcendence Realm experts to a draw, and he did it with ease.
"What happened thirty thousand years ago?" Qin Shi could not help but ask.
Looking at Qin Shi, who was gradually calming down from the shock, the Nefarious Devil smiled with relief.
At the very least, this proved that Qin Shi was not crushed by the unreachable and enormous pressure.
"Thirty thousand years ago …"
The Nefarious Devil narrowed its eyes and said helplessly, "Actually, I don't know much about what happened thirty thousand years ago. I only know that the Dark Group seemed to be preparing some shocking conspiracy, codenamed Blood Mask. The Blood Mask shocked the Three Realms. No one knew what it was, but they knew that once it was completed, the world would be destroyed, and the Wasteland Continent would probably cease to exist. All of this was probably to fulfill Zhe Tian's selfish desire to break through the Ethereal Realm and reach that realm."
"The Ethereal Realm isn't the end of the world?" Qin Shi asked in surprise.
The Nefarious Devil smiled bitterly, "Of course not. Above the Ethereal Realm, there is a realm called the Emperor Realm. But no one knows whether that realm really existed or not. Even in ancient times, many powerful forces calculated that the Emperor Realm didn't exist. It was just fabricated by their ancestors. However, the three of us who have reached the Ethereal Realm know very well that the Emperor Realm does exist, because we can feel that in the resonance of the world, there is a power that we can't do anything about. We call it the Emperor Power."
"The Emperor Realm …"
At this moment, Qin Shi suddenly remembered that when Qin Yongfeng gave the Collapsing Jade to Qin Shi, he said that the Human Sovereign had used the power of the Collapsing Jade to reach the peak of the world, and he could look down on the world and swallow the world. But in the end, he didn't fully activate the power of the Collapsing Jade, and he didn't break through to the final realm.
Presumably, that was the Emperor Realm, right?
"During the period of the Blood Cover, the movements of the Hou Group were huge, and they caused a great massacre in the Three Realms. The Human Sovereign and the entire Human Realm fought with the Hou Group for the Heavens. Originally, I didn't participate, but inexplicably, the Human Sovereign shattered Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical souls, and destroyed his physical body.
Then, he suddenly attacked me and sealed me in the mountain behind your Qin family. "The Nefarious Devil gritted his teeth and said," That b * stard!
When I think of this, I can't help but get angry. That guy fought with Zhe Tian, and he was already seriously injured. Seeing that he was seriously injured, I let him have a few moves, but in the end, he played dirty. He directly ignited his own bloodline, and with the Collapsing Jade as the root, he sealed me! "
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud.
In the ancient war, the Devouring Heaven was just an innocent bystander.
"But at that time, the Blood Cover was also destroyed. At least thirty thousand years have passed, and Zhe Tian still hasn't fully recovered." The Nefarious Devil said helplessly.
Qin Shi frowned, "But, Zhe Tian was destroyed, and there are only twelve palaces left in the Hou Group. Why didn't Fufeng take the opportunity to strike now, and wipe out the entire Hou Group in one fell swoop?"
The Nefarious Devil looked at Qin Shi strangely, and laughed helplessly, "Wipe out the entire Hou Group in one fell swoop?
Haha, little guy, you're too naive. Do you really think that the Wasteland you see now is the real Wasteland Continent? "
"Huh?
Of course it is. "
Qin Shi was stunned, he didn't understand what the Nefarious Devil meant. Could the Wasteland Continent in his eyes be fake?
As if it could see through Qin Shi's thoughts, the Nefarious Devil smiled faintly, "That's right, the Wasteland Continent you see … is actually just a broken Immortal Abode."
"A broken Immortal Abode?" Qin Shi's eyes widened.
"Yes, the Wasteland Continent is vast and boundless, divided into four realms. In ancient times, there were many powerful forces in the world. Among them, apart from my Devouring Heaven General, Zhe Tian's Hou Group, and Human Sovereign's Tian Wu, there were also many other supreme forces, such as the Great Wilderness Emperor's Desolation Palace, the Beast Realm's Immortal Beast Mansion, and the Ocean King's Ocean Monarch Palace. All of them had experts who had experienced life and death."
Qin Shi's black eyes were filled with shock. There was actually such a powerful force in the world?
But, where were they?
What did a broken Immortal Abode mean?
"The reason why I said that the current Wasteland Continent is just a broken Immortal Abode is because of the battle thirty thousand years ago, which caused all the survivors of the ancient times to be sealed. You've been to the Demon Realm. Just like the Hou Group in the Demon Realm, they opened up their own Void. This Void was called Immortal Abode in ancient times. Once a force has an expert who has experienced life and death, they will open the Immortal Abode."
"Otherwise, do you think that the current Human Realm can stop the attack of the Hou Group?
Why doesn't the Hou Group dare to send a Transcendent Realm expert to the Human Realm?
What do you think they are afraid of?
Afraid of those tiny Eight Regions?
Those Eight Regions are just like ants. There is no need for the Dark Group to send a real expert. Any Palace Master from the Twelve Palaces can easily flatten them! "
"What the Dark Group is really afraid of is the Heavenly Fog in the Immortal Abode above the Human Realm."
At this time, the evil demon suddenly paused and asked, "Oh, by the way, do you remember that World Realm woman you saw in the Serene Court?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. In his mind, a seductive and delicate face appeared, just like a fox. He had always been curious about that woman.
Especially the strange tattoo on her chest.
At that time, Qin Shi thought, how could there be a World Realm expert in the Human Realm that no one knew about?
He was guessing the background of that woman, but there was no record of it in the Human Realm.
"She is from the Heavenly Fog?" Qin Shi suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.
The evil demon smiled faintly, which was a tacit admission.
Qin Shi suddenly woke up. At this time, he finally understood why that woman would know him. If she was from the Heavenly Fog, it would not be strange.
After all, the evil demon had just said that the Heavenly Fog was a force created by the Human Emperor.
"Oh, by the way, the D Sword in your hand.
I have never told you, but this martial art also came from the hands of a woman from the Heavenly Fog in ancient times. She is the Mu Sha you heard not long ago. "The evil demon suddenly added.
The corner of Qin Shi's mouth twitched again.?
The D Sword also came from the Heavenly Fog?
No wonder … the Sword Sect's Sect Master couldn't even break a willow branch with his full strength. That woman had a shocking background.
