He didn’t see the flicker of satisfaction and a smile on the man’s face! He hadn’t told Jin Bao’er that this skill only required holding hands to achieve the same effect! Last time he hugged Jin Bao’er it was out of convenience, this time it was deliberate!
The moment the two stepped into the bamboo house…
The black pupils within the room snapped open, their colorless eyes tilting slightly, gazing upward before vanishing from their original spot…
The bamboo house looked small from the outside, but inside it was a world of its own! As far as the eye could see, it stretched endlessly, the entire house plunged into darkness!
The moment their divine sense was released, it was directly swallowed by the darkness, rendering them unable to see anything!
Jin Bao’er frowned, feeling a surge of annoyance. Since she gained the ability to use divine sense after her ascension, it had been practically useless! Divine sense could only perceive the most superficial things. If the opponent set up any kind of barrier or defensive layer, divine sense would be rendered ineffective!
At that moment, she secretly resolved that once they were out, she would train her divine sense! Even if it couldn’t penetrate everything, it at least shouldn’t be this useless.
After they had taken a few steps forward, the man beside her suddenly stopped, his gaze cold as he stared into the pitch-black expanse ahead…
“Below us!”
Jin Bao’er paused, looking up at Long Lixing. Divine sense transmission? She almost forgot that divine sense had this function! So, she replied.
“Understood!”
Then she shifted her gaze to the ground, making no sound or movement throughout.
Simultaneously, behind them, several long, black objects seeped out from the ground, slowly rising and twisting their bodies to gradually take on human form…
The man and woman in front, as if unaware, remained motionless. The black humanoid figures extended their claws, fumbling in the air as if searching for something in the darkness! They crept forward!
Jin Bao’er: Something’s here!
Long Lixing: Don’t move, I’ll handle it!
The next second, sharp claws, black as iron, suddenly stabbed towards Long Lixing’s back!
In an instant, they missed!
The motionless pair suddenly vanished, while the claws continued to stab at empty air, as if probing ceaselessly!
They hadn’t noticed that the section of floor they had emerged from had been opened and almost instantaneously closed…
Descending the stairs, it was like entering the Demon Realm! The air was filled with demonic energy, devoid of any other aura.
Using the faint, ethereal blue firelight, Jin Bao’er finally got a clear view of her surroundings…
It was a structure resembling an underground palace, supported by four thick stone pillars bearing its weight. The surroundings were vast and empty, but at the far end stood rows of oval-shaped openings, leading to unknown destinations!
Upon seeing this, Jin Bao’er couldn’t help but frown, a flicker of shock in her eyes!
“Such a vast underground palace… just building it must have taken some time, right?”
And the war between the Demon Race and the cultivators had only recently begun. This showed that the Demon Race had likely been planning all of this for a long time! Did the Linlang clan know? To have such a place right under their noses!
As she drew closer, she suddenly noticed something, her gaze fixated on the wall… looking at scene after scene!
In the murals, beneath a structure resembling an altar, countless bizarrely shaped creatures knelt in worship. Their hideous appearances were no different from the demons she had seen before! Further back, a colossal monster leaped into a void and then transformed into a mass of black mist…
Overall, it seemed to depict the birth history of the Demon God, or perhaps scenes of demons fighting amongst themselves!
“It’s the Demon Purgatory! Formed from the mutual slaughter of countless demons, the condensed malice from which enters a single demon’s body, granting them immense demonic power and making them a true Demon God!”
A cold, calm voice echoed in her sea of consciousness. Jin Bao’er didn’t turn around, instead using her gaze to signal, *Then what’s your situation?*
After all, he wasn’t a born demon!
The man remained silent for a moment. Just as Jin Bao’er thought he wouldn’t speak, his deep voice resonated again.
“When I gained consciousness, I was already in the Demon Realm, absorbing demonic energy unconsciously! Then, after experiencing the Demon Purgatory, I became a Demon God…”
These few simple words broadly covered his unknown past spanning countless years!
Jin Bao’er remained silent. She couldn’t imagine what he had endured, so she felt unqualified to offer any words of comfort! Because she couldn’t empathize.
“Tch… why am I telling you this! You should look at these caves! Hanging the history of the Demon Race on the walls indicates this is definitely a demon stronghold! Who knows, perhaps one of these caves is currently housing that Demon God~”
Jin Bao’er nodded!
At this very moment, a mass of black mist enveloped the exit, and all the demonic energy within the underground palace began to condense!
Seeing this, both of them reacted simultaneously, warily observing the increasing number of robed figures around them… their faces looking grim…
“Heh heh… isn’t this the former Demon God? And you’ve brought a Dragon clan member? Are you planning to offer yourselves as sacrifices to…”
“Enough of your nonsense! Do you want to explode again?”
Before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted. Long Lixing’s eyes turned cold, his killing intent palpable, yet his tone was extremely calm! The threat was self-evident!
The robed figure choked! The darkness around him intensified, trembling slightly. Whether it was a recollection of his previous death or something else, he was clearly furious!
That’s right, he was the demon leader who, that day in the secret chamber of the Fanyin clan, had his neck gripped by Long Lixing, almost revealing his plot!
Logically, demons could not be killed; after their bodies were destroyed, they would resurrect elsewhere. He shouldn’t have spoken of secrets that day, but the overwhelming fear of imminent death when Long Lixing’s grip tightened around his neck made him unable to think of anything else, his brain simply couldn’t react in time…
Fortunately, the restriction within his body detonated, preventing him from revealing the secret. However, the fear he felt towards a certain individual in his heart did not simply disappear.
Thinking this, the robed figure snorted, his tone extremely arrogant and cruel!
“Heh heh! Do you think you can escape today? Haha! Last time you were lucky, but this time… you will all die!! Haha!”
His laughter echoed in the underground palace for a long time, piercing and unpleasant! Like a ghastly scream…
Jin Bao’er couldn’t help but frown, her gaze growing colder! Then, she suddenly extended her right hand…
Instantly, a silver-white light blazed in her hand! A soft pink power entwined around her, illuminating the entire underground palace as if it had been lit!
Before the robed figure could react, his laughter abruptly ceased! His ghastly roar abruptly stopped!
Even without seeing his expression, Jin Bao’er could sense his current shock.
In just two seconds, a scene flashed in his mind: a woman in white, sword in hand, her gaze sharp, her aura imposing… This quickly merged with the person before him!
“You… it’s you?!”
The White Dragon who utterly annihilated demons on the Immortal-Demon battlefield?!
