Jiu Tian bitterly smiled. "Devouring Heaven Demon Sovereign, it's been a long time."
Countless experts from the Phoenix tribe were startled when they heard the two words' Devouring Sky '. The name' Devouring Sky 'was far too intimidating in this world. Even after tens of thousands of years had passed, just mentioning it would still cause many people to shudder.
"Senior, you don't have to be nervous. He won't hurt you. Even though he's a demon, he's different from the Puppet Squad." Qin Shi paused for a moment, then said with a bright and proud smile, "He's my brother."
The corners of Jiutian's eyes couldn't help twitching when he heard Qin Shi's words. Only now did he know that he had underestimated Qin Shi, one of the three Sovereigns of the Primordial Era.
"Little boy Jiu Tian, he's right. If I wanted to annihilate your Phoenix Clan, I wouldn't have come here. Do you think that your Phoenix Clan could defeat me even if you joined forces?" The demon smiled.
Nine Heavens bitterly smiled. The might of the Devouring Heavens wasn't something that could be touched in the ancient times. Therefore, he understood that it was useless to worry now. He could only let nature take its course. He looked at Qin Shi with a strange expression. "Little friend, are you talking about the Devouring Heaven Demon Sovereign?"
Qin Shi nodded his head. "Yeah, the demonic aura here is extremely dense. Even I can't enter."
"But …" Jiu Tian hesitated and looked at Devouring Heaven curiously. Although Jiu Tian knew that it wouldn't be a problem for Devouring Heaven to enter the demonic aura, he wasn't sure if Devouring Heaven would help them.
In the ancient times, Devouring Heaven's character was the strangest among the three Sovereigns. He wasn't like the Ba Gang, nor was he like the Ren Huang who was righteous. He did whatever he wanted as long as he was happy. If he was happy, then he could do anything. If he wasn't happy, then everything would be useless. Therefore, Devouring Heaven didn't participate much in the battle thirty thousand years ago.
But because of that, Jiu Tian was even more uncertain. Who knew if Devouring Heaven would help them?
"Senior, don't worry. He will help." Qin Shi smiled as if he saw through Jiu Tian's doubts.
Hearing Qin Shi's words, Jiutian was stunned. Then, he thought about how Tun Tian and Qin Shi were together. Moreover, the two of them claimed to be brothers, so their relationship should be pretty good. If Qin Shi could put in a few good words for the Phoenix Clan, it should not be a problem.
Tun Tian rolled his eyes at Qin Shi. "Silly boy, are you stupid? Even if you want to help, you should at least put on a stern face and ask for some benefits first."
"Oi, do you even have a conscience? The Demonic domain has erupted and the Beast World is in danger, yet you're still trying to get some benefits from my Phoenix clan," Hong Lian snorted coldly in displeasure.
Jiu Tian's heart leapt into his throat when he heard Hong Lian's words. Oh my dear grandaunt, do you know who you're talking to? Jiu Tian smiled wryly at Tun Tian. "Demon Sovereign Tun Tian, please don't take it to heart … Hong Lian didn't mean to talk back to you."
The demon smiled. "It's fine. I can only enter the demonic Qi. As for whether or not I can cure old Wutong's illness, you'll still have to rely on this kid. He'll be the main force in the future."
Jiu Tian was slightly speechless when he heard the demon's words. He looked at Qin Shi strangely.
From Jiu Tian's point of view, if it was a problem that even Tun Tian could not deal with, it should be even more impossible for Qin Shi.
"Hehe, don't look down on this kid. He's even better than me when it comes to cleansing demonic Qi. Back then, that old dog Human Emperor put everything on this kid. He has the divine item in his hands and the Royal Fire. All of them possess the power to expel demonic Qi."
The demon paused there. "Oh, right. You still don't know this kid's background, do you?"
Jiu Tian and the others nodded in surprise. The demon smiled. "He's the descendant of the Human Emperor, so he can be considered the master of the Mortal World."
"The descendant of the supreme sovereign Human Emperor?"
Jiu Tian and the others were surprised when they heard the demon's words. Even Hong Lian looked at Qin Shi with a rather strange expression at this moment.
As the descendant of the phoenix clan leader, Hong Lian was already very powerful and could be considered very noble. However, the descendant of the supreme sovereign Human Emperor was definitely not someone she could look down on. At this moment, she looked at Qin Shi with a sliver of curiosity. "Are you really the descendant of senior Human Emperor?"
"If I had a choice, I would rather not be." Qin Shi smiled wryly.
That was indeed the case. It was exactly because he was the descendant of the Human Emperor that Qin Shi's fate had always been disturbed and he had been given too many unnecessary titles.
The funniest thing was that Qin Shi was clearly the descendant of the Human Emperor, yet he did not receive any of the Human Emperor's favour. He had no bloodline or legacy. Instead, he had climbed to his current position step by step through countless hardships. Only Qin Shi himself knew just how many times he had faced life and death along the way.
"I'm sorry. I was rude to you before."
Hong Lian's sudden change in attitude after learning of Qin Shi's identity was rather difficult for Qin Shi to adapt to.
"Pfft, there's no need to find it strange, brother Qin Shi. Sister Hong Lian has always been extremely respectful towards senior Human Emperor. She's actually very kind and helps the world, so she's always admired senior Human Emperor. You can say that she's his fan. She hopes that she can become someone like him. It's only normal for her to change her attitude towards you now that she knows you're the Human Emperor," smiled the phoenix clan member.
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization and looked at Hong Lian with a trace of affection.
Now that the World War was approaching, it was rare to see someone like Hong Lian who could prioritize the world. This also made Qin Shi decide to communicate with Hong Lian if he had the chance. If he couldn't avoid the upcoming World War, he could only face it head-on.
He didn't know how strong the Hou Group was in this battle, so he could only try his best to strengthen himself and resist the Hou Group's ominous devil force.
"Since it's like this, senior, I'll enter the demonic aura first to see what's going on," said Qin Shi faintly.
Jiutian helplessly nodded his head, "Then I'll have to trouble you, little friend. Because of the demonic aura in our bodies, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter any further."
Qin Shi nodded his head, then turned to look at the demonic devil, "Let's begin."
The demonic devil's gaze turned solemn, then he leaped towards the barrier that sealed the demonic aura alone.
"Roar —!" Feeling the demonic devil's aura, the demonic aura quickly let out a series of roars.
"Mere scoundrel, get out of my way!"
The demonic devil stretched out his hand, and the baleful aura in the world gathered at one point. Immediately, it transformed into a black crystal in his palm, "Break!"
As soon as the crystal appeared, it was like a rainbow opening a canal, clearing a path in the endless darkness. The originally violent demonic aura instantly calmed down, timidly retreating, leaving a path for Qin Shi to enter the center of the demonic aura.
Swish!
Qin Shi didn't waste any time, and with a stride, he entered the darkness.
In the darkness, Qin Shi could clearly feel countless eyes staring at him, filled with dense killing intent. However, with the demonic devil here, they were a little helpless, not daring to get too close to Qin Shi.
After entering the darkness, Qin Shi was shocked to discover that this huge demonic aura was like a demonic ocean. It was extremely vast, and there was actually a huge empty space within it.
His figure stopped in this empty space, and Qin Shi couldn't help but frown, "The demonic aura here is very dense. Added together, it's actually not any weaker than the demonic realm beneath the Seven-colored Auspicious Cloud Snake Clan. However, the demonic aura here doesn't have any life, which is a little strange."
"It should be the body of a ferocious demon that fell in the ancient war. Let's go forward," the demonic devil said.
Just like that, he continued moving forward. His speed was very fast, leaving behind a trail of stars. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Qin Shi's eyes narrowed, and at this moment, his gaze landed not far away.
In the space in front of him, Qin Shi felt a very dense demonic aura, and it was constantly releasing it, just like Jiang Hong. This made Qin Shi gradually begin to confirm that if he continued forward, he would probably reach the source of all the demonic aura.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Qin Shi nodded, and then he flew a thousand meters forward. What appeared in front of Qin Shi's eyes was a huge palace.
The most shocking thing was that the palace was actually floating, and there were countless stone coffins floating in the air above the palace. Each stone coffin was actually more than a hundred meters in size, and some were even more than a thousand meters in size. There were more than a hundred of them.
These stone coffins were all locked up by countless chains, and they were forcibly restrained by these chains.
"What a huge amount of demonic aura. All the demonic aura here is released from these stone coffins."
Although these stone coffins were sealed by chains, monstrous demonic aura was constantly leaking out from the gaps between the stone coffins.
"Yes, these stone coffins are very likely the bodies of the countless ferocious demons. Kid, look over there." The demonic devil stretched out its hand and pointed.
Qin Shi looked over, and his eyes were filled with shock. The demonic devil was pointing at a stone coffin. This stone coffin was extremely huge, and it was the largest one among all the stone coffins. Moreover, it was also floating at the highest point. Most importantly, this stone coffin was actually half opened, and endless demonic aura was surging out.
"That stone coffin should be the body of the Ninth Demon King." The demonic devil said.
"Half of the seal has already been broken?"
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and said, "No wonder the Ninth Demon King hasn't made any big movements. He should have been waiting for the seal on his physical body to be broken. At that time, he will be able to reach the peak of the ancient times after he regains his physical body."
"Yes, the Ninth Demon King has already reincarnated twice in the ancient times. If we can't stop him, I reckon the Beast Realm will be destroyed," the demonic devil said.
Hearing the demonic devil's words, Qin Shi nodded, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had imagined the strength of the true experts of Group Ma countless times, but only after seeing it with his own eyes did he understand how exaggerated those experts were.
