About the Demon!

About the Demon Mountain!

When Princess Zi Xuan narrated this legend, she seemed indifferent, but Ye Tianchen knew this was an astonishing story, a story that could shake heaven and earth!

It goes without saying that from ancient times in this Martial Arts World, anything that bears the mark of an ”Emperor” is extraordinarily powerful. It is an unbeatable symbol. Even the strongest lineages and most formidable figures dare not joke or easily provoke anything or anyone marked with the ”Emperor” title!

However, the demon in this Demon Mountain maintains the same attitude, arrogance, and dominance. Even facing a strong person at the Half-step Emperor Realm, it demands ”passing money.” What kind of audacity is this?

In a single clash, the demon in the Demon Mountain seems defeated. Ultimately, it could not match up to the peerless character in the Half-step Emperor Realm. Yet, it didn’t express a word of fear or a hint of submission. Perhaps this is its attitude, its principle. More importantly, the strong figure in the Half-step Emperor Realm didn’t continue to fight but instead conversed with it in a persuasive tone, finally addressing it as ”demon” before departing calmly!

This shows the extraordinariness of this ”demon.” Not even a long-lasting, millennia-spanning powerful lineage dares to act like this towards a strong figure in the Half-step Emperor Realm, which would be disastrous for their entire clan!

Most importantly, a single strike from a strong figure in the Half-step Emperor Realm is enough to easily destroy a planet. However, this ”demon” hidden deep in the mountains, though defeated, still survived. This clearly shows its formidable aspect!

”I say, beautiful lady, are you playing with me? You said there’s another demon in this Demon Mountain. Could it be the one from your story that fought against the Half-step Emperor Realm strong figure? Even after all these millennia, it’s still alive?” Ye Tianchen said somewhat gloomily.

”No, that’s not it. However, since the first demon born in this Martial Arts World appeared here, whether it left or died, it might have left something behind. I’m just telling you to be cautious. Don’t get scared and mess up my plan! If I can’t return to the Northern State smoothly, I will definitely kill you!” Princess Zi Xuan angrily glared at Ye Tianchen as she spoke.

”Now’s not the time to argue with you. You’ll find out soon enough. Lead the way!” Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and said.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The two figures, Princess Zi Xuan and Ye Tianchen, moved towards the center of the Demon Mountain, one after the other. When they reached the sky above the Demon Mountain, they found the surrounding scenery filled with black flames. It was as if this space was enveloped separately. Black flames were constantly dancing, descending from the nine heavens, swirling everywhere, filling this world. Nothing from the outside could enter, and nothing inside could leave. It truly felt eerie and terrifying, more frightening than entering the Eighteen Layers of Hell. This might be the truly terrifying aspect of the Demon Mountain!

”It’s quite strange that this Transmission Array is located here!” Ye Tianchen asked puzzledly.

Anyone could imagine that this Demon Mountain is an extremely dangerous place where people don’t want to go. So, why is the Transmission Array located here? Doesn’t this sever the connection between the Northern State and the other three states? If you want to find the Transmission Array and use it to travel to the Northern State, wouldn’t it mean risking danger each time?

”The Transmission Array is something that originates in the Martial Arts World. Let me put it this way: the Transmission Array isn’t something you or I can construct. Whether it’s a Transmission Array that traverses galaxies or star domains or one that only allows for short-distance travel, they are all left behind by figures in the Emperor Realm. Because constructing a Transmission Array isn’t just about having Great Divine Power; most importantly, it requires a deep understanding of the Magic Law of the entire Martial Arts World. Without reaching the Emperor Realm, how could one claim to understand the most profound Magic Law?” Princess Zi Xuan explained seriously.

”I see. So, if the Transmission Array is broken and there’s no special instrument, it’s nearly impossible to traverse the void!” Ye Tianchen nodded, understanding.

”That’s why, after the Ancient Transmission Array on Earth was broken, no one could leave Earth, nor could anyone enter!” Princess Zi Xuan nodded in agreement.

”Then why is the Northern State’s Transmission Array located in this Demon Mountain?” Ye Tianchen continued to ask.

”I don’t know about that. I’ve only heard that fifty thousand years ago, the Transmission Array originally in the city of East State suddenly flew into the Demon Mountain. Since then, anyone wanting to utilize the Transmission Array to travel to the other three states had to venture into the Demon Mountain, and those coming from other places to the Northern State through the Transmission Array also had to come out of the Demon Mountain. If scared or experiencing something bizarre, it would be dangerous...” Princess Zi Xuan shook her head, saying.

”No way, you should have used this Transmission Array to travel to East State several times, right? Haven’t you encountered any danger?” Ye Tianchen looked at Princess Zi Xuan, feeling that this woman hadn’t been entirely truthful with him!

”This... I don’t really want to tell you, anyway, if you have the courage, come with me. If we lose our lives, don’t blame me. I can at most take care of myself!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a playful smile.

”If you can protect yourself, can’t I? I have that bit of confidence. Let’s go!” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said with a smile.

Princess Zi Xuan glanced at Ye Tianchen with some disdain, then flew forward. Ye Tianchen followed closely behind. In less than an hour, they arrived at a place where the black flames were most intense, and these black flames were like demons and ghosts, constantly leaping, terrifying enough to scare someone to death!

”That looks like a sacrificial altar!” Ye Tianchen said after a glance at the place not far away.

”That’s right, it’s a sacrificial altar. Do you see that small round plate? It’s the Transmission Array. If we want to pass through the Transmission Array to the Northern State, we must get close to it and activate it with our intentions, only then can it fulfill its role. However, during this process, there may be life-threatening dangers!” Princess Zi Xuan said with a smile.

”What kind of life-threatening danger?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”You’ll find out by then. Let me make it clear; it was you who insisted on stubbornly following me. I certainly won’t help you. If you die, don’t blame me!” Princess Zi Xuan looked at Ye Tianchen with a rather helpless expression.

”Do you think I would? I, Tongtian Taoist, dared to take on this name; do you think it’s for nothing? Let’s go, don’t waste any more time. Look, it’s getting dark, don’t you want to return to the Northern State? I, as a gentleman, don’t want to spend the night alone here with a lady. It would cause gossip, not good at all!” Ye Tianchen also looked rather eager as he said.

Princess Zi Xuan glared hard at Ye Tianchen and was the first to turn into a beam of light rushing toward the sacrificial altar. Little did she expect, just when she was less than ten meters away from the altar, she suddenly fell to the ground, standing still, as if she was frozen!

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen furrowed his eyebrows, feeling something unusual but still rushed forward, as he had to experience it himself to know what was happening. Otherwise, not to mention passing through the Transmission Array to the Northern State, it would be impossible even to touch it!

Buzz!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about ten meters from the sacrificial altar, he suddenly stopped, landing on the ground, standing there blankly because all his Martial Arts True Qi was sealed, or rather completely vanished. He couldn’t feel the slightest existence of Martial Arts True Qi in his Dantian, which made him incredibly shocked. You must know that if a Martial Artist loses their Martial Arts True Qi, no matter how mighty their divine skills are, they can’t be performed. Of course, for Ye Tianchen, he is a bit better off than these Martial Artists because his physical body power is extremely strong. Even without Martial Arts True Qi, unable to use Martial Arts Divine Skill, he still has divine skills of his physical body available!

”Why is this happening? Why did all the Martial Arts True Qi suddenly disappear? Could it be the special laws of the domain?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think in his heart.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

While Ye Tianchen was baffled, he heard a sound coming from all directions. Suddenly, many black figures appeared over the open space of the sacrificial altar; to be precise, demon shadows. These demon shadows appeared around the open space and were approaching him step by step, intuitively making Ye Tianchen retreat because being trapped in the middle was incredibly dangerous.

”Is it an illusion? It should be!” Ye Tianchen thought in his mind.

Bang Dong!

A black demon shadow suddenly attacked Ye Tianchen, causing him to retreat instinctively. When he saw the ground explode into a large pit, he was startled and wondered, feeling it was clearly an illusion, why it seemed so real?

While Ye Tianchen was still trying to fully understand what was happening, several demon shadows surrounded him. At this time, he saw the most astonishing scene he’d ever witnessed in his life—he saw his body grabbed by a demon shadow, incredibly bizarre, almost unbelievably strange... (to be continued.
