When the Dragon Ruins perish, that is when the immortal treasures emerge?
The three demons reacted with varied expressions. The sentence was concise, and its surface meaning was easy to grasp.
But its deeper implications were worth pondering.
“Later, after much deliberation by the great predecessors, the answer was finally obtained.”
Seeing the puzzled looks on the three demons’ faces, Bai Shuang stopped teasing and said directly, “The so-called ‘when the Dragon Ruins perish’ refers to the Dragon Ruins disappearing over time.
But in the period before the Dragon Ruins vanish, the laws within will inevitably fall into chaos. The exact nature of this chaos is unclear, but it should relate to cultivation suppression.
Ultimately, the leaders of the major forces arrived at a relatively accurate conclusion: when the laws of the Dragon Ruins become chaotic, either a portion of the cultivation restrictions will be lifted, or the dragon-blood creatures will be suppressed to some degree.
Because, fundamentally, the dragon-blood creatures depend on the Dragon Ruins for existence. If the Dragon Ruins are truly about to perish, the dragon-blood creatures within will surely be greatly affected.
No matter which outcome, it points to one thing: the moment just before the Dragon Ruins perish is the best time to act!”
“That’s why so many experts have entered the Dragon Ruins this time!”
“And based on what we’ve encountered, the restrictions on our cultivation seem unaffected, so there’s only one possibility: the strength of the dragon-blood creatures has been impacted!”
At Bai Shuang’s words, Mo Fan immediately recalled the scene of the Black Dragon King forcibly charging into the True Dragon Lair earlier.
With that fellow’s immense power, he had not even entered this valley before being gravely wounded by the dragon-blood creatures and fleeing in embarrassment.
If so, it seemed the dragon-blood creatures this time were indeed much weaker than before!
With this thought, Mo Fan finally understood completely.
“Let’s go. I’ve sensed the old ancestor’s aura. It’s time to settle accounts with him properly!”
Bai Shuang looked up, her gaze fixed on the massive fissure in the distant cliff wall, killing intent surging in her heart!
Mo Fan nodded. The Soul Devouring Banner swept out, vast ghostly mist billowing forth, transforming into a streak of black light that flew towards the great fissure.
Almost the instant Mo Fan entered the fissure, a purple-haired youth sitting cross-legged with closed eyes in the massive cavern within abruptly opened them!
Soon, his gaze turned to the fissure passage. A large group of cultivators swarmed in, each radiating terrifying might.
However, the purple-haired youth paid them no mind, pausing only briefly on two figures in the crowd before shifting away, finally locking onto a banner shrouded in eerie ghostly qi.
“Lei Yu Zi Dian, some accounts between us need settling properly!”
A cold, stern voice emerged from the Soul Devouring Banner. It was not loud, but under the power of demonic energy, it echoed throughout the entire cavern valley!
“The Toad Demon Comes for Treasure?”
Killing intent flashed in Lei Yu Zi Dian’s eyes. His body instantly rose from the ground, surrounded by crackling lightning.
“None other than your grandpa!”
The Soul Devouring Banner unfurled, and two figures appeared amid the dense ghostly mist: Mo Fan and Bai Shuang!
Lei Yu Zi Dian’s gaze turned icy, but it soon shifted from Mo Fan to Bai Shuang. His voice was cold. “So, you intend to betray this ancestor?”
“Old ancestor, Shuang’er is here today to send you on your way!”
“Please understand!”
Bai Shuang’s face was expressionless, but killing intent surged in her eyes.
She stepped forward, and a wheel of interwoven wind and lightning appeared behind her, instantly radiating powerful aura.
“To think you still call me old ancestor. This ancestor raised you with such care, sparing no resources to help you become one of the twin prodigies of Phoenix Cry Mountain Demon Domain, yet now you collude with this mangy toad to betray me!”
“Shuang’er, you’ve disappointed this ancestor greatly!”
“Old ancestor, how you’ve treated me, Shuang’er has never forgotten for a moment!”
Bai Shuang’s face suddenly darkened. She clenched her teeth, letting out an angry roar. Her body began to tremble, as if suppressing inner pain and fury.
Then, she gave a bitter laugh and said in a low, grave voice, “The death of my mother all those years ago was your doing, wasn’t it?”
Did you really think I didn’t know?
You were wrong. Not only do I know, but I also understand that you’ve always treated me as your cauldron!
Every time you roughly handled me, you planted thunder seeds in my body, claiming it was for my good, but I knew full well you were preparing for your own future breakthrough to a higher realm!”
“Not only that, but my entire Bai clan, under your tyranny, became a vassal of your Lei Yu family!
The male demons of the Bai clan were reduced to swords for your Lei Yu family’s power struggles, while the female demons became sacrifices for continuing your lineage!
That’s why I hate!
I hate not only you, but the entire Lei Yu family!
From a young age, I swore to destroy your whole Lei Yu family, including you, Lei Yu Zi Dian!”
The exchange between the two demons immediately drew the attention of all surrounding cultivators. Though surprising, none intended to intervene, all watching quietly with expressions of enjoying the show.
Faced with Bai Shuang’s accusations, Lei Yu Zi Dian fell silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling lightly. He looked at her playfully and said, “You’re right!”
“I killed your mother. By the way, let me tell you, your mother didn’t die because her lifespan was nearing its end. She simply couldn’t withstand the thunder seeds I planted.
Oh, and like you, she was this ancestor’s thunder cauldron, though your mother tasted far better than you. She wasn’t so stiff, having been well developed by your father!
However, though talented, she wasn’t of the first generation and couldn’t bear this ancestor’s thunder seeds, so I decided to switch to a new thunder cauldron!
And you, a first-generation thorn demon, were an excellent choice!”
Lei Yu Zi Dian’s words enraged Bai Shuang until her whole body shook. Finally, she let out a heart-rending roar.
“Lei Yu Zi Dian!”
“I will kill you!!”
Bai Shuang roared, saying no more. Demonic qi swirled around her. With a raise of her hand, wind-thunder light wheels emerged one after another.
Ultimately, nine wind-thunder light wheels appeared behind her, like nine heavenly moons shining in the sky. She pointed, unleashing brilliant light as endless wind-thunder spikes howled forth.
These wind-thunder spikes poured down like a storm, covering the sky and earth, forming a sea of lightning that engulfed Lei Yu Zi Dian!
“Shuang’er, this wind-thunder light wheel is a divine ability this ancestor once awakened. To think you’d use this ancestor’s own ability against me is simply wishful thinking!”
Lei Yu Zi Dian’s voice rang out from within the thunder sea.
Then, he stepped forward, and the entire sea of lightning parted automatically, as if welcoming its noble thunder king.
“Did you see?”
“Your divine ability can’t harm this ancestor in the slightest, so… what do you have to fight me with?”
Lei Yu Zi Dian chuckled lightly, vanishing with a step and turning into a bolt of lightning that appeared before Bai Shuang in an instant, reaching out to grab her.
“Shuang’er, wouldn’t it be better to obediently be this ancestor’s thunder cauldron?”
“At least this ancestor can make you happy, can’t I?”
Just as Lei Yu Zi Dian’s hand was about to touch Bai Shuang’s body, a fist suddenly smashed into his face.
Boom!
A massive explosion rang out, and Lei Yu Zi Dian’s entire body was sent flying.
“Go to your mother’s happiness!”
“You old pervert, saying such righteous words about an old cow eating young grass. Truly worthy of being a demon ancestor, you play it fancy!”
Mo Fan had acted. He could no longer stand it. From the dialogue between the two demons, it was clear how perverted Lei Yu Zi Dian was.
For such a monster, even if an Ancestral Realm great demon, if not eliminated early, he would remain a great evil demon wreaking havoc in the demon domain!
So this old pervert had to die!
