"System, can you help me check if this guy is the Devouring Heaven Emperor? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
It's as if someone deliberately lured me here! "
Luo Xiu, who was hiding in the shadows, didn't continue to approach the old man after seeing his appearance from afar. Instead, he retreated a distance and said gloomily.
It would be wishful thinking for Luo Xiu to say that he didn't have any suspicions as he looked at the old man sitting cross-legged in the spacious hall. At this moment, he really felt that everything was strange. There weren't any guards along the way. He had entered too smoothly, so smoothly that he felt that it was somewhat unbelievable.
Especially when he saw the Devouring Heaven Emperor in front of him, he really felt that something was wrong. Luo Xiu had been with this old man for a long time and knew him like the back of his hand. He could recognize this old man even if he turned into ashes. Moreover, he also knew that the Devouring Heaven Emperor had been killed by Ming Yuhun.
Not to mention his current position. However, there was now another Devouring Heaven Emperor in front of him. He was now in the Demon's Domain, which was on the same plane as the Divine Realm.
He remembered very clearly that the Devouring Heaven Emperor had told him that he was a fugitive from the Divine Realm and that it was impossible for him to appear here and become an overlord. Luo Xiu felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he saw the Devouring Heaven Emperor in front of him.
In particular, when Luo Xiu carefully thought about his experiences over the past three hundred years, he was shocked to discover that the existence of the Devouring Heaven Emperor had always run through Luo Xiu's cultivation years. This was what made Luo Xiu feel alarmed.
Previously, he felt that even though his journey had been smooth because of the System, it was impossible for it to be so smooth. It could even be said that everything he wished for had come true. If he had not suddenly woken up at this moment, he would have even taken it as a matter of course.
"That's right, this person is the Devouring Heaven Emperor. Although I don't know how he did it, judging from the aura of his soul, he is the Devouring Heaven Emperor. Moreover, he is the Devouring Heaven Emperor who was almost at his peak. As for the rumors that there is a strange energy in his body, the System has also discovered that he is indeed troubled. There is an extremely strange energy that is constantly eroding his body, including his soul." The System explained to Luo Xiu as expected.
While Luo Xiu was pondering over his experiences over the past few years, the System in his mind gave him an answer. After hearing the System's answer, Luo Xiu really felt a little strange. If he had not woken up and appeared in front of the Devouring Heaven Emperor at this moment, he would not even know how he died.
"Now I understand that I have been under the control of the Devouring Heaven Emperor for so many years. He did not control my thoughts, but this old guy took advantage of the situation to make me choose the path he guided me to. This old guy's methods are so terrifying and profound. Such a long-term plan is simply terrifying," Luo Xiu said with lingering fear.
Luo Xiu was really frightened at this moment. This old guy was simply a devil. The Devouring Heaven Emperor did not need to control himself at all to make Luo Xiu follow the path planned by the Devouring Heaven Emperor. The Devouring Heaven Emperor's terrifying methods made Luo Xiu's scalp tingle.
He could not imagine how terrifying the Devouring Heaven Emperor would be if his guess was true. He could simply plan a person's life. Luo Xiu had never seen such a heaven-defying method before.
"Should I go in?
I don't know why, but I feel that even if I don't go in this time, I will probably be led by the nose by this old guy and fall into the Devouring Heaven Emperor's trap again. Although I don't know where this inexplicable feeling comes from, I think I need to make a choice. "
Luo Xiu did not wait for the system to answer and continued to ask. At the same time, he told the system about his feelings.
"Come in!
Since you're already here, there's no need to wait for me outside. I also want to see what kind of existence the person chosen by my three incarnations is. "
Just as Luo Xiu was at a loss and waiting for the system to give a clear answer, a somewhat old voice suddenly came from the huge hall. It seemed to be very certain of Luo Xiu's existence and directly transmitted into Luo Xiu's ears. While Luo Xiu was stunned, an irresistible force directly pulled him into the hall.
With the disappearance of that force, Luo Xiu was now standing in front of the Devouring Heaven Emperor. This scene almost made him want to punch him. Even though Luo Xiu knew in his heart that in the face of such a terrifying Devouring Heaven Emperor, he could not help but feel a little scared.
Especially when combined with his previous conjecture, Luo Xiu looked at the old man with a calm expression. Luo Xiu could not help but feel a little aghast.
"Senior, what do you mean?
Why is it so overbearing for you to attack without saying anything? Also, what do you mean by that? I don't really understand. I just wanted to come in and see if I could help you get rid of that special power from another plane in your body, Senior.
As for why I didn't come in openly, I don't think I need to explain. You should know in your heart. Now that the State Preceptor and the Protector are fighting to the death, if I get involved at this time, it will only speed up my death. That's why I can only take advantage of the chaos to sneak in. "
Although Luo Xiu was indeed a little shocked at the beginning and was even frightened by the Devouring Heaven Emperor, he quickly calmed down after regaining his senses.
Since it was already like this, he would like to see what the old man was up to. He also wanted to hear what the old man meant by his so-called incarnation.
"Hehe, you don't have to deny it, kid. You have been in the Old Man's calculations recently. It's just that the Old Man vaguely felt that someone would be able to help the Old Man, but he didn't expect it to be an acquaintance. Although I don't know what you rely on to dare to come in so openly, since you're here, let's have a good talk. Let's see what price the Old Man has to pay for you to solve the problem in my body.
Although I obtained a part of your memories from the other souls, there are a few memories that are very vague and were even directly crushed by someone. Therefore, this old man only has a superficial understanding of you. As for more, I still don't have any insights. Since you have come, then tell me your purpose and your request. "The old man waved his hand to stop Luo Xiu who still wanted to continue explaining as he opened his mouth and said.
At this moment, the old man looked at Luo Xiu with a face that was no longer as affectionate as before. Luo Xiu could even feel the loneliness in the old man's expression. However, the old man's overbearing tone still made Luo Xiu realize that the old man's style was almost similar to the Devouring Heaven Emperor's.
"Should I call you Yuan Jingtian or the Devouring Heaven Emperor?
Senior, are you really as I have guessed? Do you have countless incarnations and even the Devouring Heaven Emperor of the Divine Realm is one of your incarnations? "
Luo Xiu was not surprised by the old man's words. He nodded without hesitation and asked the question in his heart.
"Actually, it doesn't matter what you call me. I'm both the Devouring Heaven Emperor and Yuan Jingtian. I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I have another request. That is, you can choose to forget what I have done in the past."
Luo Xiu's words stunned the Devouring Heaven Emperor, but he reacted quickly. He waved his hand casually and said something to Luo Xiu that stunned Luo Xiu.
"What do you mean?
Why do you have such a strange request?
Why am I getting more and more confused? How did you do it?
You can't be so sure that you can solve the problem with your body just by moving your hands. The key lies with me. "
Luo Xiu still couldn't believe it. The Devouring Heaven Emperor's confident expression and tone really surprised him.
No matter how strong the Old Man is, I can't do anything about this strange curse. Some of the clones are even stronger than my main body. Of course, this refers to the current me, but there's no other way. No matter how many clones I have, my main body will have to suffer a great deal. You don't need me to say more. You should be able to imagine that I have been fighting against this curse for so many years and have no time to manage my clones. So no matter what they do, the Old Man won't take the blame. That's why I said to let you choose to forget these things. The process isn't important, the result is perfect. See, haven't we met again? "The Devouring Heaven Emperor said helplessly.
Luo Xiu looked at the Devouring Heaven Emperor in front of him, speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. There was too much information in this old man's words, so much so that Luo Xiu was dumbfounded. He had thought of using the secret method given to him by the system to control Yuan Jingtian, but he didn't expect the guy sitting in front of him to be the biggest boss!
"In other words, you have been looking for a way to break the curse in your body for so many years. But I'm a little curious. With your powerful cultivation, who cursed you back then?
I suspect that you are trying to gain my sympathy. Otherwise, why have you been so calm all these years?
You should know that the Devouring Heaven Emperor, the first person I met, boasted to me that he was already invincible in the divine realm tens of millions of years ago!
However, you told me that you are the mastermind behind all of this. How can I believe your words? "Luo Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, and then he opened his mouth to speak in shock.
Although he already believed the Devouring Heaven Emperor's explanation, Luo Xiu really wanted to know what had caused all this.
Luo Xiu didn't believe that there was a curse in his body, because the system had clearly told Luo Xiu that although there was an extremely strange energy in this person's body, this energy had been suppressed to an extremely small area by him.
"I can't explain it to you in a short time. Since you are here, and you are the first person with a weaker cultivation than me to appear in front of me in all these years, this proves that you should be the person I have been waiting for.
For more than 30 million years, I have been working hard to suppress this curse in my body. An accident back then almost destroyed my Dao foundation. Now, I am like a lamp that has run out of oil. As for the rest, I will explain it to you in detail when my cultivation recovers, "the Devouring Heaven Emperor said calmly when he saw that Luo Xiu didn't believe him.
What was he thinking at this moment?
Luo Xiu didn't know, but Luo Xiu knew that this old man had completely admitted defeat.
"System, do you believe this old man's words?
Is there any way to eavesdrop on this old man's thoughts? Actually, I think that this is a good opportunity. Do you think this old man will agree if I ask him to sign a contract to guarantee my safety? "
Luo Xiu seemed to be listening to the Devouring Heaven Emperor's explanation on the surface, but he was actually secretly communicating with the system.
There was no other way. This old fellow's humble attitude really made Luo Xiu feel surprised.
At the moment, he was even a little astonished. The Devouring Heaven Emperor's performance was really different from what he had imagined.
Originally, he thought that it was just an ordinary energy problem. However, after hearing Ming Yulong and Ming Yulong's explanation, he also thought that was the case. However, when he saw Yuan Jingtian in person, he was horrified to find that this old man was actually the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor's true body.
"No problem. Breaking the strange curse in this fellow's body is nothing to this system. However, host, you must be prepared. If that curse has an effect on you when it enters your body, your cultivation will need to be reorganized. However, you don't need to worry. This system can guarantee that it will only bring you benefits and won't cause you any problems."
The system nodded affirmatively. However, the meaning behind its words stunned Luo Xiu.
