Chapter 2250: Chapter 260: The Fall of the Demon Lord! The Mystery of Ruolan’s Origins

…

If it were in his prime, the Demon Lord could have resisted a wave with a hard push. With the cards and strength he accumulated over the years, Liu Ruolan wouldn’t have been able to defeat him.

But unfortunately.

The current Demon Lord was already at the end of his strength. Under the siege of three True Immortals, all his hidden cards were almost exhausted.

“Boom!”

An attack carrying the mighty power of the Seas of Without Desires ruthlessly struck the Demon Lord.

A terrifying explosion of energy erupted, and the space seemed to explode into a mushroom shape, with residual power spreading outward in waves, stirring up the sea surface as if it had encountered an unprecedented massive storm.

After a long time, the aftermath gradually dissipated.

In the sky, the Demon Lord still stood in mid-air, seemingly trying to persist with an unyielding posture until the end. But with a slight sweep of God Sense, one would discover that his aura was already as faint as a thread, his internal organs had turned to dust, and his Divine Soul was shattered like scraps, appearing as if he might turn to ash at any moment.

The dignified Demon Lord was directly struck into a near-death state by this attack.

All those around were silenced with fear, especially Wang Zongkun, whose fish eyes were wide with fright, and his tail was curled up, clearly startled by Liu Ruolan’s sudden outburst.

Thanks to the fact that the Demon Lord was a powerful True Devil Realm cultivator, with an exceptionally strong body and Divine Soul, he could barely hold on and maintain a last thread of life.

If it were any other Transcendent Void Realm cultivator, under this strike, there wouldn’t even be a trace left.

“Cough, cough~ I remembered.”

The Demon Lord, with a breath faint as a thread, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of foul blood, yet his deathly pale face turned ruddy instead, a clear sign of a resurgence before death.

But he didn’t seem to care at all, instead looking at Liu Ruolan with fear and reverence: “It’s you! It turns out it’s you! Have you not died, or have you been reincarnated and reborn?”

“?”

Liu Ruolan blinked into existence in front of him, slightly frowning: “What, you recognize me?”

The Demon Lord slowly shook his head, somewhat excitedly said: “I’m only seven to eight thousand years old, how could I possibly recognize you? But among our Ming Sha True Demon lineage, our ancestors recorded your deeds. I never expected… I would die at your hands. This battle, I don’t lose unjustly. But it seems you haven’t remembered past events yet.”

“Could it be…” Elder Tian Ji, hearing this, suddenly recalled something, his face changed dramatically, “Demon Lord, is she that one…”

“Who else could it be but that one?!” The Demon Lord’s face flushed, his whole being revealing an abnormal excitement, like embers in the flame, “The first generation Demon Lord of the Real Demon Palace recorded a lot about that one. I was shocked beyond measure when I read the records back then. The Sacred Image of Origin Water, the Sacred Sword of Origin Water, not just anyone has the qualification to inherit those.”

“Listening to you, it does seem a bit like it.” Elder Tian Ji sneaked a look at Liu Ruolan, with an evident awe in his eyes, “But because I studied the combination of Divine Soul and Puppet without permission, I was deemed as heretical and sealed by the Saint Emperor, so I only have some fragmented memories about that one.”

Sealed?

“…” Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan looked at Elder Tian Ji with astonishment, “You can’t be one of the [Top Ten Most Wanted] too, can you?”

“Uh, haha. To be exact, I am one of the already captured Top Ten Most Wanted.” Elder Tian Ji’s expression was slightly embarrassed, “And because I’ve been sealed for too long, and with the Saint Emperor cleansing my Divine Soul memory, the things and techniques I can remember are limited.”

“Uh, admirable, admirable.” Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands, “Elder Tianji surviving to this day is truly no small feat, quite remarkable.”

“It’s nothing remarkable.” Elder Tian Ji smiled at Liu Ruolan, his tone unconsciously containing a hint of respect, “Compared to that one, we’re just small fry. That one used to chase the Saint Emperor all over…”

“Hmph, what is the Saint Emperor worth!” the Demon Lord snorted angrily, his tone dissatisfied, “Stubborn and old-fashioned in thought, preaching benevolence and righteousness, yet he went to the Sacred Domain’s [Primordial Taoist Palace] to steal things himself, didn’t he? After being discovered and chased, he even blew up the spatial passage, causing that one to not be able to return and had to remain in our small world. The Saint Emperor is just a despicable and shameless old dog!”

Steal things?

Wang Shouzhe was a bit speechless too.

It seems history books didn’t record it this way…

“Cough, cough! Demon Lord, don’t slander the Saint Emperor when you’re at the brink of death.” Wu Dao True Monarch — no, Wu Dao Immortal Supreme glared at the Demon Lord, rebuking, “Back then, the Saint Emperor went to the [Primordial Taoist Palace] to seek aid, asking them to help us resist the invasion of the Demonic World, to repel the attacking Demonic Clan. Unexpectedly, the Sacred Heart was indifferent, so he found a way to take the [Chaotic World Destruction Pearl], using it to perish together with the Demon Lord, dozens of True Demons, and the Demonic Clan army. This was the only way to preserve a spark of life for our Divine Martial World.”

“Hehe~” The Demon Lord sneered mockingly, “Then leaving the Xuanling Saintess stranded in the Divine Martial World was because he was forced into a corner, huh? I think he was clearly trying to force the Xuanling Saintess to join forces with him against the Demonic Clan. Besides, at the last moment, if it weren’t for the Xuanling Saintess bringing some so-called rebels to snipe another Demon Lord of the Demonic World, the old Saint Emperor’s plan couldn’t have succeeded.”

Snipe another Demon Lord?

Wang Shouzhe gave his wife Liu Ruolan a deep look.

Was wife so fierce in her past life? Did she even take down the second Demon Lord of the Demonic World?
