Hearing the gloating laughter of the Divine Funeral Demon Lord, Qin Sang's face grew increasingly gloomy.
As expected of the Lord of Wheels, he was a free and unfettered demon lord. The demonic thought he sent back then was like a declaration, declaring that he would inevitably become its prey!
Qin Sang continued to press for an answer, but the Divine Relic Demon Lord could not give a clear explanation. It was not that he was intentionally concealing anything, but rather that he genuinely did not know.
It has never pledged allegiance to any Free Demon Lord, has no powerful background, and this dojo within the realm was built by itself bit by bit. It has no right to contact the Free Demon Lord at all.
But it had heard of the name of the Lord of Wheels, who was said to be one of the most mysterious and unfettered demon lords.
Beyond the boundary, the universe is boundless, and mystery often signifies power. Being targeted by such an existence would cause any living being within the boundary to feel restless and constantly fearful.
Qin Sang remained silent.
When did this person start targeting him? Was it in the Storm Realm when he was cultivating the "Heavenly Demon Illuminating Scripture," or when he was undergoing tribulation in the Talisman Realm?
Looking back now, I realize that I was targeted by a free-spirited demon lord long ago, yet I've managed to live peacefully to this day. I have to admit that I'm somewhat fortunate.
If Guixu hadn't scared away the demon back then, he might not have been able to even cross the threshold of the Integration Realm.
It seems that a great tribulation awaits me as I attempt to reach the Mahayana realm. It should be understood that the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more violent the tremors of heaven and earth will be during their tribulation. Conversely, the extraterrestrial demons can channel more power into the realm, meaning that what enters the realm may not just be a wisp of demonic thought!
Even after becoming a Mahayana cultivator, he will not find peace unless he can kill the Lord of Wheels!
Qin Sang added another restriction to the sealing magic stone, and the laughter of the Divine Funeral Demon Lord immediately turned into curses. Unfortunately, the seal blocked it, and it could not reach Qin Sang's ears.
After that, Qin Sang spent almost all his time near the Mangyuan Cave Heaven, repeating the process of slaying demons and cultivating. During this time, he would also continue to deduce and improve the Triple Law Domain and constantly accumulate power.
I believe that once the Vermilion Bird emerges from seclusion, I will no longer be a burden to it. At least I need to have that level of strength to be able to help my senior sister.
During his comprehension of the three realms of Dharma, Qin Sang marveled more than once at the mystique of the Jade Buddha and Mount Daiyu.
It is already extremely difficult for other cultivators to comprehend dual Dharma Domains. Even if someone comprehends three different Dharma Domains like Qin Sang, it is difficult to fuse them together. At least, it is not something that a cultivator in the early stage of the Integration Realm can do.
In the early stages of the fusion, the Dharma Domain was newly formed and the foundation was not solid. While other fellow practitioners were busy consolidating their Dharma Domains, Qin Sang, who was still unsteady on her feet, began to practice jumping.
If it weren't for the Jade Buddha protecting him from the impact of the Great Dao River, allowing him to focus on comprehending the Dao, and if the Immortal Mountain hadn't transformed into a Heavenly Divine Peak to support his Dharma Domain, allowing him to boldly experiment without worrying about the Dharma Domain collapsing and backfiring on him, Qin Sang would still be in the exploratory stage, and his progress would never have been so smooth, and he might not even have achieved any results in the end.
Meanwhile, Yang Shen, along with his Thunder Beast Guards, continued to explore outwards. By corroborating the testimony of the Divine Remnant Demon Lord, they discovered new places that appeared to be the Demon Lord's dojo, and also confirmed that there was no Demon Kingdom established by the Free Demon Lord nearby.
Knowing that Qin Sang's goal was to kill the Heavenly Demon, the Divine Relic Demon Lord kept tempting Qin Sang to deal with his enemies.
The world of the Heavenly Demons is devoid of any warmth; it is purely a world of survival of the fittest, even more cruel than the laws of survival within the Realm. Moreover, the Heavenly Demons are adept at manipulating the turbid currents of the six desires, living on the basis of desires, and will not abandon the internal struggles for the sake of the common goal of invading the Realm.
Although Qin Sang was quite tempted by the Demon Lord's bewitching charm, she decided to prioritize stability and refrain from causing trouble for the time being.
On this day, Qin Sang gained new insights into the Triple Law Domain. After emerging from seclusion, he was in high spirits and was preparing to kill some demons to liven things up when he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head to look at the Qianmo Tower with a strange expression.
A moment later, Qin Sang arrived at the Suspended Millet Cave through the Path Tower, frowning as she looked at the Gate of the Dao Beacon.
Due to limited energy, Qin Sang could not simultaneously establish two grotto-heavens. He regarded the Suspended Millet Grotto-heavens as a fallback plan, and to avoid causing trouble near the grotto-heavens and attracting the attention of the Heavenly Demons, he made arrangements to hide it, and then focused his main efforts on the Wilderness Grotto-heavens.
At this moment, his arrangements were triggered; someone wanted to break into the Suspended Millet Cave!
The Earthly Demon Palace is long gone. Only he and Demon Lord Luo Luo know about the Suspended Millet Cave. Who is the newcomer?
Qin Sang became alert and flashed to the gate of the Dao Beacon. She extended her spiritual sense beyond the boundary and immediately 'saw' an astonishing scene.
What broke in was a magnificent black-awning ship, the Tai Mu Divine Ship of the Demon Lord Luo Luo!
To protect this escape route, Qin Sang made meticulous arrangements outside the boundary, not only concealing the gate to the Dao Beacon but also misleading intruders. Even if they knew the location of the Suspended Millet Cave, they would have no chance of entering.
At this moment, Luo Luo Demon Lord's Tai Mu Divine Ship was like a headless fly, spinning in circles.
Upon seeing the Tai Mu Divine Ship, Qin Sang's heart sank, especially after noticing the numerous damages on it.
What happened to Luo Luo Demon Lord after he left? Is the person steering the boat still Luo Luo Demon Lord? Could it be that he was unfortunately corrupted by demons on the way and brought the Heavenly Demons to attack Xuan Su Cave Heaven?
Qin Sang was startled and suspicious. He keenly noticed that the Tai Mu Divine Ship was acting strangely. The person navigating the ship seemed to be weak. It was flying crookedly in his formation and could not even stabilize the ship.
With a thought flashing through her mind, Qin Sang deliberately created an opening, but the other party ignored it.
Qin Sang noticed something strange, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly poured his true essence into the great formation, creating a violent storm. Under the impact of the storm, the Tai Mu Divine Ship was like a lone boat at sea, becoming even more turbulent. From the Tai Mu Divine Ship's posture, it was clear that the person in charge of the ship was starting to panic, which was not the behavior of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
'boom!'
From the depths of the storm, streaks of light suddenly shot toward the Tai Mu Divine Ship.
The boatman panicked even more and tried desperately to dodge, but he was too slow to react. With a loud bang, the first beam of light tangled tightly around the bow of the boat, and under the immense force, it nearly capsized.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
The light cables struck the ship repeatedly, quickly binding the Tai Mu Divine Boat tightly and dragging it into the depths of the storm.
'boom!'
The light fell to the ground.
The Tai Mu Divine Ship crashed heavily into the Xuan Su Cave Heaven.
"Senior, spare my life!"
Immediately afterward, a female cultivator rushed out of the Tai Mu Divine Ship, her face deathly pale. But upon seeing Qin Sang, she immediately regained her composure, her voice filled with excitement, "It's Senior Qingfeng in person! Junior Ji Zheng greets Senior!"
Qin Sang narrowed his eyes, waved his hand to remove the light rope, and looked the female cultivator Ji Zheng up and down, "Who are you! Why is Fellow Daoist Luo Luo's divine ship in your hands? Where is Fellow Daoist Luo Luo now?"
Upon hearing Qin Sang's barrage of questions, Ji Zheng quickly suppressed her excitement and cried out urgently, "Senior Luo Luo is in danger and is currently being besieged by demons. He has ordered me to come to him on a divine ship to seek his help. Please, senior, lend a hand!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Sang was taken aback and inwardly exclaimed how absurd it was.
Judging by the time, Lord Luoluo has been gone for over a hundred years. Even if he had to take a detour, he should have already left the Northern Demon Realm. Why did he suddenly appear nearby again? Could it be that Lord Luoluo is so righteous that he has come back to help him?
"The demon is powerful and the situation is extremely critical. Please, senior, do not hesitate and go to save us immediately!"
Seeing Qin Sang hesitate, Ji Zheng was filled with anxiety and knelt down in front of Qin Sang, pleading with her.
If it really is Demon Lord Luo Luo in danger, Qin Sang wouldn't mind helping him.
The question is, could there be something fishy going on here?
Why did the Demon Lord Luo Luo, who should have left long ago, return? And why is this female cultivator Ji Zheng, who only has the cultivation level of Void Refinement, here?
It's important to understand that under the rampage of the Heavenly Demons, the spiritual energy of the Northern Demon Realm has become chaotic, affecting the strength of cultivators. Unless they are traveling with a large army, even those at the Void Refinement stage dare not venture into the Northern Demon Realm without authorization; only those at the Integration stage or above can move freely.
These illogical events made it impossible for Qin Sang not to have doubts.
He had to be careful, lest this be a trap set by the Heavenly Demon! Back in Yuan Zaitian, his trump cards, except for the Killing Domain, had all been exposed to the Demon Lord Luo Luo.
Although he has now comprehended the Triple Law Domain and his strength has increased again compared to before, he should not be complacent.
Qin Sang scrutinized the female cultivator Ji Zheng, calmly questioning her about her background and the circumstances of her ordeal.
Ji Zheng was extremely anxious, but she had no choice but to answer Qin Sang's question.
After some questioning, Qin Sang learned an unbelievable truth, and for a moment her face showed a strange expression, not knowing how to respond.
According to Ji Zheng, this wasn't Qu Feng Hai at all. On the contrary, they were currently in the northwest of the Demon Realm, west of the Ten Directions Demon Kingdom. Luo Luo Demon Lord had been traveling east, thinking he could bypass the Ten Directions Demon Kingdom, but he had actually gone the wrong way and was essentially walking into a trap!
The reason for mistaking the direction is not that there is a problem with Luo Luo Demon Lord's amethyst eye array, but that the Heavenly Demon interfered with Qianqiu Peak, and all the cultivators in the Northern Demon Realm were misled!
Is this true?
Qin Sang questioned.
For many years, demon cultivators who have fallen into the Northern Demon Realm have always used Thousand Autumn Peak to determine their direction. Why did something go wrong this time?
"This junior would never dare to deceive you in the slightest, senior! More than a hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, the Demon Realm was thrown into chaos, the situation on the front lines suddenly became tense, a great war broke out, and it continues to this day, escalating ever since. Since then, Thousand Autumn Peak has been disturbed, it is said that the terrifying Free Heavenly Demon has made his move," Ji Zheng said with a fearful expression.
Qin Sangmo calculated the time, and it seemed that it had been not long since they fell into the Northern Demon Realm when they encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime event. Demon Lord Luo Luo's luck was simply too bad.
The facts are obvious: Demon Lord Luo Luo misjudged the direction and plunged headlong into the Ten Directions Demon Kingdom, where he was targeted by the Heavenly Demons. Judging from his Tai Mu Divine Ship, it was clear that he had encountered countless dangers over the past hundred years, and in the end, he had no choice but to return to Xuan Su Cave Heaven, only to be ambushed and killed by the Heavenly Demons on the way.
Ji Zheng was originally a member of the demon army. She was separated from the army during a battle and unexpectedly met Luo Luo, the demon lord, and became his follower.
She originally had two companions, but both of them were breached by the Heavenly Demon and subsequently corrupted by it.
Now, Demon Lord Luo Luo is nearing his end, only capable of holding his ground. He left behind to block the Heavenly Demon and ordered Ji Zheng to come to him for help aboard the Tai Mu Divine Ship...
Even now, Qin Sang was still skeptical, but the two had been through thick and thin together, and if it really was the Demon Lord Luo Luo, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
Of course, even if Qin Sang were to go to the rescue, she would have to proceed with caution.
'Shuh! '
The Demon-Illuminating Mirror hovered in the air, shining its light on Ji Zheng, but it did not reveal any demonic image.
Qin Sang then ordered Ji Zheng to relax her mind, and Ji Zheng, eager to save lives, complied without hesitation. Qin Sang then used several of the Earthly Demon Palace's demon-detecting techniques, but found nothing unusual.
While the worst-case scenario cannot be completely ruled out, it can dispel most of the doubts.
The next moment, a beam of light shot out into the sky.
Qin Sang wrapped Ji Zheng in her true essence and ordered her to guide the way, then sped off towards the battlefield.
During the journey, Qin Sang continued to press for details and learned that the one who ambushed and killed Luo Luo Demon Lord was a powerful demon with the Six Desires Demon Palace, not a pseudo-demon palace like that of Shenlian Demon Lord, and truly had a demon lord-level subordinate in charge!
No wonder Demon Lord Luo Luo was in such a miserable state; Qin Sang must treat such a formidable enemy with caution.
Qin Sang flew at full speed, far exceeding the speed of the Tai Mu Divine Ship controlled by Ji Zheng. He didn't stop for a moment and flew for a long time before finally seeing the rolling demonic energy on the horizon.
A terrifying fluctuation emanated from the demonic energy, suggesting that Demon Lord Luo Luo was likely trapped within it.
"It really is the Six Desires Demon Palace!"
Qin Sang's expression hardened slightly.
The Six Desires Demon Palace before us is significantly different from the Six Desires Demon Palace of the Divine Funeral Demon Lord. To the naked eye, the entire demon palace appears completely enclosed, seamless, and unpredictable, with its appearance and reality constantly shifting.
The interior of the Demon Palace is even more terrifying, as it has also incorporated the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Realm is constantly changing and fraught with danger. One can imagine how perilous Luo Luo Demon Lord's current situation is!
Through the Demon Palace, Qin Sang sensed a familiar aura. It seemed that Demon Lord Luo Luo still had the power to resist, but judging from the comparison between the two, that was probably all.
Without help, Lord Luo Luo will only grow weaker and weaker until his defenses are breached, making him a prey of the Heavenly Demons and a member of the Six Desires Demon Palace!
"Fortunately, there should only be one Demon Lord-level Heavenly Demon's retinue in the Demon Palace, but this Heavenly Demon is a bit strange..."
Seeing that Demon Lord Luo Luo was still holding on, Qin Sang did not make any rash moves and observed intently from a distance.
Outside the Six Desires Demon Palace, the information that could be 'seen' was limited, and Qin Sang could only deduce things from the changing illusions within the Six Desires Demon Palace.
The Six Desires Demon Lord who ambushed and killed the Demon Lord Luo Luo seemed to have some concerns. He had been using his Heavenly Demon Retinue to control the Demon Palace and launch the main attack, while the Six Desires Demon Lord's aura was faint and intermittent, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Because the opponent's aura was too subtle, it was impossible to judge the strength of this Six Desires Demon Lord for a while. Sometimes he seemed very strong, and sometimes he seemed very weak, which was quite strange.
In addition, Qin Sang also needed to observe her surroundings to avoid any hidden traps.
"Do you recognize this demon?" Qin Sang asked, waking up the Divine Burial Demon Lord within the Demon Sealing Crystal, only to receive a negative answer.
At the same time, Tian Li secretly activated her Heavenly Eye Divine Power, taking in the scene near the battlefield, but did not discover any trace of the other Six Desires Demon Lords.
"It doesn't look like a trap," Qin Sang thought to herself.
Even so, Qin Sang still secretly released the Thunder Beast Guards and made arrangements on the spot before preparing to make her move.
Wherever the mind goes, the Dharma realm is instantly created!
The sky above the demonic energy was filled with dazzling stars, and the sea of stars covered the Six Desires Demon Palace. The sword intent was earth-shattering!
