Chapter 1481 Heading to the Eternal Demon Court
"My lord, what are the plans for the next step?"
Feng Mo was clearly determined to follow Qin Fan.
Qin Fan thought for a moment and then said.
"We can almost cut off our way out of the Western Demon Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at the sky with a sense of unease. Even though he had reached a relevant agreement with the Heavenly Dao in advance, the Heavenly Dao was still somewhat reluctant to let this day come.
All He can do now is flash a few bolts of lightning to express His aggrieved state.
"That's strange, why is it thundering on such a sunny day?"
Feng Mo looked up at the sky in confusion. The lightning came and went quickly, and the explosions just now made Feng Mo wonder if there was something wrong with his hearing.
Just as he was preparing to observe further, Qin Fan had already taken a step towards the far western demon realm.
As the spatial fluctuations appeared, Feng Mo quickly followed, putting all his previous doubts to the back of his mind.
When the two arrived at the Western Demon Realm, both Feng Mo and Qin Fan were somewhat shocked.
Because within the giant city that was originally used as Yun Hongce's office, there stands an even more expansive and magnificent palace.
The entire palace floats above the Blood Pool of the Demon Realm. It was shaped by the Chaos Soil collected by the Heavenly Demon Clan and solidified by the chanting of ancient dragon incantations by the elders of the Dragon Clan.
Its base is inlaid with fragments of stars that Qin Fan lost during his battle outside the boundary. When the demonic energy surges, these fragments will project a faint phantom image of the residual power it unleashed.
The Nine Revolutions Soul Devouring Stairs in front of the main gate has a total of nine thousand levels, and each level is sealed with special evil spirits that the Yaksha warriors captured from all over the Demon Realm.
"It's only been a few days."
Feng Mo clicked his tongue in amazement, while Qin Fan noticed that the entire area still bore traces of the use of the time rules.
The inner demon that split off from it, after inheriting the power of Chi You's remnant soul and becoming the Demon Lord, is far inferior to himself in terms of the comprehensiveness of the Dharma rules. However, because of his own glory, it has reached the level of mastery of the ten supreme rules.
Therefore, if he were willing to pay some price, he could accelerate the time in a region and use it for civil engineering construction.
However, this approach is somewhat too extravagant.
Upon noticing the sudden spatial fluctuations, powerful figures from the Eternal Calamity Demon Court arrived immediately. However, after seeing Qin Fan and Feng Mo, Huang Tiangui ultimately stayed behind after receiving permission.
"The owner of the village!"
Huang Tiangui was clearly excited. After transforming into a Heavenly Demon and ascending to the position of Heavenly Demon King, he made another small breakthrough in the Heavenly Evolution Realm.
Its original aptitude could only be described as excellent, and its circumstances were far inferior to those of the Eight Royal Bloodlines, who could be considered to be in the first tier among the demon race.
Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Qin Fan for giving him this opportunity.
"Where is Chi You?"
Qin Fan asked directly.
"The master should be cultivating. I just received a message from him asking me to receive the manor lord."
Huang Tiangui explained earnestly.
Qin Fan nodded and said nothing more. He and Chi You had formed a special relationship of true self and avatar, but their bond was not like that between him and the differentiated divine Yin Tianzi.
In order for Chi You to devour the historical foundation of all the realms that were suspected to contain the original owner of Chi You, the other party, in a sense, can also be considered an alternative individual.
The differentiation in his destiny allowed him to advance from a clone to an independent individual. This can be considered a trivial ability that Qin Fan, who has mastered the power of destiny, can use.
In any case, Huang Tiangui, who felt very familiar when facing Qin Fan, now finds it difficult to regard the two as the same person when facing Chi You.
"Let's go."
Qin Fan gestured towards the palace gate, which actually led to a cluster of buildings behind it.
Huang Tiangui then took it upon himself to lead the way and introduced:
"Its main body consists of eight special buildings derived from the distinctive culture of the eight royal clans. The first one is the Heavenly Demon Palace, named after my Heavenly Demon clan."
Although it hasn't been long since he became a member of the Heavenly Demon Clan, Huang Tiangui's cultivation speed may have increased significantly due to the impetus of his bloodline, or it may be one of the effects of the blood oath that the Demon Lord had made when he bound all the demons of the Demon Realm.
Huang Tiangui has developed a high degree of identification with this identity.
She was far less hesitant than when she first learned that Qin Fan intended to completely transform her into a demon queen.
The current Huang Tiangui is more like a demon than any demon could possibly be.
His former image as a little old man was nowhere to be seen. Just like the first time Qin Fan saw him return to his fighting state, his burly, muscular body, stimulated by the Heavenly Demon bloodline, had reached a height of nearly three meters. His eyes, no longer cloudy, forever radiated a high-spirited will to fight! Dominate! Enjoy!
Anyway, they look like the kind of people who are extremely difficult to mess with.
Huang Tiangui was the first to enter the hall.
He pointed to the dome and said.
“Other races all have their own sacred artifacts. However, the Heavenly Demon Clan was created by the Lord of the Manor and has only been established for a short time, which has made our clan's foundation somewhat shallow. Fortunately, the Demon Lord attaches great importance to it and personally crafted a Myriad Demon Eye. This giant eyeball can penetrate various barrier formations, which has enriched our clan's foundation.”
Qin Fan nodded and scanned his surroundings, discovering that the walls were made of battle soul blood jade presented by the Asura Clan. This material had the property of preserving the fighting will of some powerful individuals, and according to the rank assessment given by the access panel, it was also at the Cosmic Rank.
Now, the walls inside this palace are almost entirely made of it, and their surfaces constantly display battle scenes of various powerful demons fighting each other.
"What a spendthrift!"
This extravagant behavior left Qin Fan speechless.
His gaze then fell upon the throne in the center of the hall, which emanated a familiar aura to Qin Fan.
"This is."
"It's Paris polyphylla."
Feng Mo, who was more familiar with Chonglou, said that with his excellent eyesight, he had already discovered that on the special stone slab that had been shaped into a throne, there was a fist intent left by Chonglou, which made it exude a pressure that even a Tianyan expert could feel suffocated.
It even has some impact on those who have just broken through to the Immortal Realm.
However, it seemed that the fist's intent had already sensed Qin Fan and Feng Mo's aura, and its original pressure suddenly subsided by more than half.
It retains only a lingering aura that inspires awe upon entering the hall.
"He left this for you before he left?" Qin Fan really didn't know that Chonglou was so thoughtful.
But thinking about it carefully, for someone with the title of Demon Lord, to finally manage to clench a fist imprint with all his might is quite pathetic. After all, if he really had some wealth, leaving behind a sacred object similar to the Eighth Royal Family's wealth would be much more dignified.
Only the poor would directly slap their fists.
Huang Tiangui then led the two to the second location.
A special building named Longzhong Pavilion.
The entire building is formed by eight cold marrow demonic dragons coiled around it, and the dragon eyes are thunder tribulation pearls presented as tribute by the Garuda clan.
The pavilion houses the Reverse Scale Jade Slip, which records the secret histories of eight clans (well, the Heavenly Demon Clan has no real foundation or historical records, they just rely on it). Those who touch it will hear the sighs of the demonic dragons, the lingering thoughts of dragons who died due to various factors.
The dragon's might emanating from it is also a more powerful means of strictly guarding this jade slip.
Of course, there are also martial arts techniques and moves contributed by the eight clans here.
Qin Fan casually flipped through the books and found that the first one he got was the Heavenly Demon Fist, which he had adapted from the original Heavenly Demon Divine Skill.
There are also Heavenly Demon Claw, Heavenly Demon Blade, Heavenly Demon Finger, etc., which directly include all eighteen kinds of weapons, as well as various extended techniques that the body can use.
Despite the simple and unadorned names of these moves, Qin Fan's deductions show that they can consume Heavenly Demon Qi with a very low probability to enhance the power and effect of the moves. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Demon Five Absolutes and Heavenly Demon Four Erosions, which shone brightly in the original work, are placed on a higher level.
As Qin Fan and Feng Mo left the Dragon Pavilion, the former looked deeper into the complex of buildings with a sense of unease.
He sensed a trace of Chi You's aura leaking out.
“How bold”
Feng Mo, who was a beat slow to react, also frowned.
"The energy here is somewhat chaotic."
"It's not just messy; a slight mishap could ruin this beautiful place."
Huang Tiangui, who was standing to the side, was shocked. When he looked in the direction Qin Fan and Feng Mo were looking, he sighed helplessly.
Because that is the Demon Lord's secluded retreat location.
"I have a pretty good idea of what he's researching."
"What is it?"
This aura was already enough for Feng Mo to sense some danger, which was enough to show that the martial art created by Chi You had reached at least the Universe level.
"The Heavenly Net Demon Net is a unique skill that a certain last human emperor mastered by borrowing the energy of demons and monsters, the power of the Ziwei star, and the imperial energy of the royal tomb. It just so happens that he now meets some of the requirements. If there were no demons, he would have achieved a Demon Lord-level bloodline that is even higher than the Heavenly Demon."
The activation of stellar power was even easier for him.
As for the Imperial Aura, the establishment of the Eternal Demon Court should have allowed it to discover some things.
After saying this, Qin Fan looked at Feng Mo meaningfully.
This left Feng Mo scratching his head in confusion.
Qin Fan didn't say anything more, but simply gestured for Huang Tiangui to continue leading the way.
After walking a dozen steps, Feng Mo roughly understood the meaning in Qin Fan's eyes just now.
The reason why Demon Lord Chi You is so determined to improve himself is because when the first meeting of the Mountain and Sea Realm Alliance was held, Feng Mo and Yue Piaoling joined forces to give him a severe warning.
Chi You was quite clear about Feng Mo and Yue Piaoling's background, which is why he understood that even though it seemed like the two of them were ganging up on a demon, Chi You might not have the upper hand against either of them in a one-on-one fight.
As the manifestation of Qin Fan's inner demon, it successfully inherited an even more stubborn desire to win than the original Qin Fan.
That's why, just a few days after the Eternal Demon Court was established, they began to secretly open the book.
They'll just have to wait for their next appearance to get their revenge.
At this moment, the two humans and one demon had arrived at the third location introduced by Huang Tiangui: the Yaksha Blood Corridor.
The corridor floor is covered with Netherworld Blood Amber, a specialty of the tribe, and the pillars are carved with a scene of a hundred demons roaming at night, crafted by demon artisans. When the Kinnara musicians play the konghou, these eerie demon reliefs break free from the stone walls and dance.
"Master, would you like to take a look?"
"never mind."
Who the hell would watch these bizarrely shaped monsters dance?
Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.
Passing through this Yaksha Blood Corridor leads to the Gandharva Incense Palace.
The air is always filled with the intoxicating fragrance of the race's concoction, a scent that allows one to see the most desired images in their heart. This fragrance is also an auxiliary product used to train the will of powerful demons.
Of course, at appropriate times, it can also serve as a special health care facility for the demon race.
However, only the Demon Lord, Yun Hongce, the Eighth King, and a few powerful demons who have made great contributions are qualified to enter this hall and enjoy the highest level of service.
Qin Fan stepped forward and took out an unused incense burner. After careful observation, he discovered that it was made from the skull of an Asura warrior. If this incense burner were to release its fragrance, it would likely create a magical realm filled with slaughter.
"Tsk, I underestimated the demon race's resources."
Or rather, when only the Yaksha tribe sided with Qin Fan, he didn't truly realize that the Western Demon Realm, because of the existence of an unsealed flame wave, was a place in the Nine Springs specifically used for forging weapons.
Even when sealed, it still has an immeasurable impact on the surrounding environment.
This is one of the foundations accumulated by the top world in the Yanhuang Heavenly Universe before falling to the Saint level.
Now is the true era of the Eternal Demon Court. All the demons are united around the Demon Lord, and the eight royal families have submitted wholeheartedly, bringing out all their most treasured possessions.
This reveals the true state of wealth in the Demon Realm.
Next stop: Shura Armory.
Upon entering, Qin Fan and Feng Mo were immediately drawn to the same type of weapon: the Thousand Demon Blades, crafted in imitation of the Demon-Suppressing Sword, were displayed on the weapon rack. The materials used were all extraordinary, and as weapons, they all possessed a spiritual quality that allowed them to advance further.
The ground was forged from the armor worn by countless demon soldiers and generals who died on the battlefield. Stepping onto it was like entering a battlefield.
The further you go, the stronger the impact of the battlefield's killing intent becomes.
At the same time, the grade of the weapons displayed on this weapon rack is higher the deeper you go.
Reaching the deepest part, Qin Fan even saw a replica of the Flame Wave Blood Blade, which was Chonglou's personal weapon. Judging from its grade, it was probably only one major realm lower than Chonglou's original blade.
"You guys dealt with Yan Bo?"
Huang Tiangui nodded.
"It was the Lord himself who took action. He also reached some agreements with Li Huo Jinwu, the guard of Yanbo. And this Yanbo Blood Blade was forged by Yan Di with the cooperation of Yanbo Quan."
"Yan Di, that drunkard."
The other party was a friend of Yun Hongce, who also held the title of the number one brewer in the Demon Realm. Through him, Qin Fan was able to go to Yan Bo's location, which also confirmed the importance of Jiu Quan.
but
"He also knows forging?"
Qin Fan knew that there was a race in the Demon Realm that was specifically responsible for forging: the Jiaojiao Demon Clan.
Currently, most of the top-tier demon soldiers in the Demon Realm are produced by the Jiaojiao Demon Clan.
Even the most distinctive feature of this race is not forging, but "busyness". They cannot tolerate being idle. They are practically born with the bodies of cattle and horses!
It is because the Jiaojiao tribe possesses such unique and important innate skills that, despite their relatively weak combat strength, they have continued to prosper and thrive under the tacit understanding of the powerful demons, and have never been swallowed up by the brutal demon wars.
And the establishment of the Eternal Demon Court is undoubtedly 99% due to his contribution. (End of Chapter)
