The stone steps were made of special limestone. Each piece was very flat and of the same size. They were exquisitely crafted.
As Zi Chen walked up the stone steps, he did not encounter any danger or test. This was very different from what he expected.
However, when he thought about it, it made sense. Walking all the way here was already the biggest test.
If not for the Demonic God Eye, it would have been very difficult for Zi Chen to make it through the countless Demonic Race creatures.
As Zi Chen walked up the stone steps and looked down at the battlefield below, he seemed to see the great battle from back then. Someone split the ground with a saber strike, someone split the sky with a sword strike, someone shattered mountains, and someone exterminated life.
This should be the ultimate battlefield, and the Demon God might have fallen here.
The group smoothly reached the summit. Then, everyone stopped. There was a magnificent palace in front of them with the words "Demonic God" written on it.
Clearly, this was the Demonic God Palace.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, not because of the majestic palace, but because of the skeleton in front of them.
As the corpse stood there, it seemed to form a small world of its own. It gave off an intense sense of danger.
Not far away, three people lay on the ground. They should have tried to force their way in earlier but got killed by the corpse.
Zi Chen looked at the corpse in front. The summoning came from the other party. Furthermore, Zi Chen felt a familiar aura from the corpse.
If Zi Chen guessed right, this corpse should be the head of all the Holy Venerates of the Spirit Race, the Lord that these people referred to.
At this moment, there were many half-step Holy Venerates here. This made Zi Chen hesitate. He did not know whether he should go forward or not.
After all, Xiao Chen was only an Eight Star Martial Emperor. He did not want to attract too much attention.
Just as Zi Chen hesitated, he saw a person walk forward. Zi Chen remembered this person. This was the person with the Demonic God left arm.
When Xiao Chen was only thirty meters away from the corpse, he suddenly punched. The Demonic God's energy was activated. A dazzling fist light flew straight at the corpse in front of him.
The other party's earlier attack opened up a vacuum among the Demonic Race creatures.
"Chi!"
The corpse started to light up. A sharp sword Qi shot out and instantly extinguished the fist light.
At the same time, the sword Qi did not scatter and shot towards that half-step Holy Venerate.
The man's face fell, and he immediately retreated. Several defensive barriers appeared in front of him.
However, it was useless.
When these defenses met with the Sword Qi, they were instantly shattered. Among them, there was even a high-quality defensive soul weapon. The Sword Qi continued to press forward.
The half-step Holy Venerate did not even have time to feel heartache. He could only retreat immediately.
Two men in black flew over and used their bodies to block the Sword Qi.
With two soft sounds, the two men's bodies were penetrated and they fell into a pool of blood.
After exhausting the Nine Star Holy Spirits and sacrificing their lives, the sword Qi finally weakened. When it approached the half-step Holy Venerate, the half-step Holy Venerate shattered it with a palm strike.
The scene shocked the crowd.
Zi Chen stood there without moving. At that moment, there was only shock in his eyes.
That was because the sword aura from before possessed the attribute of lightning. The reason why he found it familiar was because that person was a Holy Exalted from the Lightning Clan, someone from the same clan as him.
He did not expect that the one who led the group of Saint Venerables into the Demon Realm back then was actually the Thunder Clan's Saint Venerables.
Furthermore, even after countless years, the remnant energy in this skeleton was still very strong. This showed how strong it was back then.
If one wanted to enter the Demonic Dao Palace, one had to get past this skeleton. That earlier sword strike even forced back a half-step Holy Venerate. Naturally, the others did not dare to go forward.
However, this was only temporary. The temptation of the Demonic God's inheritance was too great. The energy in this skeleton would eventually run out.
If it really came to that, it would be almost impossible for Zi Chen to bring anything back.
The half-step Holy Venerates who obtained the inheritance already started communicating with each other, intending to work together.
Zi Chen no longer hesitated, directly walking forward.
The moment he moved, he naturally became the center of attention.
When the crowd sensed Xiao Chen's cultivation, they were stunned. Why is an Eight Star Holy Venerate going forward?
Before he even got close to the skeleton, Zi Chen began to form a seal. His body was surrounded by Demonic Power.
"Is he seeking death?"
A half-step Holy Venerate frowned. If he activated the Demonic Energy now, it would only be seen as a provocation, completely enraging that skeleton.
It would be fine if the skeleton died. However, it might even affect their progress.
Just as the half-step Holy Venerate was about to stop the other party, the light of Zi Chen's energy started to change. Sometimes, it was Demonic Energy, and sometimes, it changed attributes.
"Oh?"
That half-step Holy Venerate felt somewhat surprised.
"It looks like this is some kind of Magical Technique that can change the attribute of energy. He intends to use this move to trick the skeleton," another half-step Holy Venerate said.
This was a minor Magical Technique that no one learned. The Spiritual Race, who possessed Spiritual Energy, had too low of a status in this world.
However, this minor Magical Technique might be useful in the current situation.
At this moment, Zi Chen's energy kept changing. Furthermore, the frequency of it kept increasing, occasionally switching between two types of energy.
Xiao Chen was getting closer to the skeleton.
To the crowd, this was because Zi Chen had not grasped this Magical Technique that changed the nature of energy. Once he got close to the skeleton and switched back to the original Demonic Energy, only death awaited him.
All the demons held their breaths, nervously waiting for the next development of the situation.
They had personally witnessed how powerful the skeleton was. If this 8-Star Holy Spirit could really destroy it, they would be very happy to see it.
Under everyone's nervous gazes, Zi Chen walked in front of the skeleton. The energy around his body flashed, changing from Spiritual Energy to Demonic Energy.
Some people began to cry out in alarm. Perhaps they were about to die.
But at this moment, the energy around Zi Chen's body changed again, from Demonic Energy to Spiritual Energy. At this moment, Zi Chen, who was forming hand seals, immediately pressed his hand against the skeleton.
Weng!
In an instant, the skeleton began to tremble. Countless rays of light bloomed, dazzling and dazzling.
The surrounding Demons all closed their eyes. That Spiritual Energy light made them feel very uncomfortable.
Zi Chen was not affected. He could see ahead.
A person appeared in front of him. It was a middle-aged man. He stood in front of Zi Chen and stared at Zi Chen in a daze.
In truth, he had been looking at Zi Chen the entire time. It was just that Zi Chen had not noticed.
"Zi Chen."
The middle-aged man called out in a low voice.
"You know me?" Zi Chen asked, puzzled.
"It really is you.
It really is you! "
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I knew you weren't dead. You are Zi Chen. You can't die!"
Zi Chen explained, "Senior, my name is indeed Zi Chen. However, I am not the Zi Chen you know.
This time, I came because I felt Senior's call. "
