960: C960 The Secret of the Celestial Palace

C960 The Secret of the Celestial Palace

"I see!"

Zhou Yan opened his eyes and revealed a look of realization.

At this moment, Zhou Yan finally understood why there were so many Demon Clans in this sealed land.

It turned out that the sealed place was actually a ruin from the ancient era. Furthermore, the cultivation techniques and restrictions practiced by the owner of this ruin were completely different from those of humans in the continent of the Nine Provinces. Thus, the Demon Clan occupied this place.

As for why a Devil Beast would be born here, it had something to do with that sealed land.

In the ancient era, when this ruin was discovered, the power of the seal inside was gradually dissipating.

A demonic dragon was born in this sealed land. That demonic dragon was extremely powerful and could be said to be invincible.

For some reason, the demonic dragon suddenly woke up when it was about to die of old age. Its strength had even surpassed the Demon King Level and reached the half-step Titled Demon King.

At this moment, he felt a dangerous aura. He knew that this was his only hope of escaping. He was not willing to die just like that, so he rushed out with all his might.

In the end, he managed to escape. However, his body was torn into pieces by the Demon Clan that were sealed. Only a trace of his remnant soul was left sealed in Luo Li's Immortal Palace in an attempt to take revenge!

"These Demon Clan are truly despicable and sinister!" Zhou Yan was enraged in his heart.

However, Zhou Yan did not give up.

He raised his head and looked at the last Demon King in the void. He shouted coldly, "All of this is just the beginning."

Whoosh ~

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Demon King.

An enormous power of flames swept out in an instant. It turned into a fireball and smashed toward the Demon King.

Crack! Crack!

The ball of fire exploded, turning into a rain of fire that fell on the Demon King's body, burning it up.

"Damn it!"

The Demon King screamed in pain as his body was set aflame. He struggled in pain, but a thick demonic aura flowed out of his body and instantly extinguished the flames and shattered them.

"The Demon Clan's recovery ability is really strong." Zhou Yan shook his head slightly. The ball of flames just now was the Burning Sky Sacred Flame, and it was extremely powerful. It could only injure the Demon King, but it was unable to kill him. The recovery ability of the Demon Clan was simply too strong.

However, although the Demon King was strong, it was a pity that he had encountered Zhou Yan.

"Third Stance of Demon Slaying!"

Zhou Yan let out a low roar, took a step forward, and smashed his fist into the Demon King's chest.

With a loud bang, the Demon King's chest was penetrated. Immediately after, Zhou Yan stepped lightly on the ground with his foot and kicked the Demon King's abdomen, shattering his dantian.

*Pfft!*

In an instant, the Demon King opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"How could this be? Where is my demonic core?"

"My Demon Core has disappeared without a trace!"

The Demon King was both shocked and furious.

Demonic cores were the most vulnerable part of a cultivator. Once a demonic core was damaged, it was equivalent to completely losing the potential for cultivation.

"No!"

All of a sudden, the Demon King's gaze fell on the drop of the Demon King's bloodline in Zhou Yan's palm.

He felt a familiar fluctuation.

"It's his bloodline!" The Demon King's eyes were ice-cold. "How dare you, human, steal my bloodline?"

"You're courting death!"

Rumble!

The demonic energy on the Demon King's body was like long snakes as it wrapped around him crazily. It turned into a huge axe and slashed down on Zhou Yan.

"Hmph, such an insignificant skill!" Zhou Yan sneered as he quickly retreated.

"Hahaha..."

The Demon King laughed out loud, "Human brat, you don't need to dodge anymore. It's impossible for you to dodge this attack!"

As he spoke, his huge axe swept out fiercely, carrying a destructive force as it slashed down fiercely.

"Hehe, is that so?"

Zhou Yan laughed lightly, reached out his hand and grabbed, and a pitch black pearl immediately floated in the air. Then, Zhou Yan squeezed, and a vast and endless terrifying power suddenly shot out from the pitch black pearl, spreading in all directions.

"This is... the Devil Emperor's Pearl!"

The Demon King was shocked.

The Demon Emperor's Pearl was a supreme treasure of the Demon Clan, and it contained the prestige of the Demon Emperor. Any Demon Clan, even the highest level Demon King, would find it difficult to survive under the Demon Emperor's Pearl, and would undoubtedly die.

As soon as the dark black Demon Emperor's Pearl appeared, a vast and mighty aura instantly filled the area. It was filled with a domineering aura that made people want to kneel down.

This was the pressure that came from the depths of their souls. Even if it was an existence at the King Level, it would be difficult for them to resist.

In an instant, the Demon King was suppressed by the Demon Emperor's Pearl. The endless pressure caused sweat to appear on his forehead as he knelt on the ground and trembled.

Puchi!

The Demon King clenched his teeth and persevered. He resisted this terrifying pressure, but in just a few breaths, he was unable to endure it anymore. He laid on the ground, twitching all over his body. His body was dripping with blood, and he was on the verge of death.

"What is going on?"

Zhou Yan frowned, feeling a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, even if the devil king was severely injured, he would never be suppressed so easily, because Zhou Yan had not unsealed all of his strength.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted, as if he had noticed something abnormal.

Boom!

Immediately after, he turned his head around and looked at the Demon King's body.

At this moment, the dense demonic patterns on the corpse of the Demon King lit up. Following that, the corpse of the Demon King slowly stood up.

"This is a bit strange. The Demon King is already dead, yet he can still stand up?" Zhou Yan was a little surprised.1

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The corpse of the Demon King let out a strange laugh, and the aura on its body became more and more terrifying.

"So he borrowed the power of the Luo Li Immortal Palace to revive!" Zhou Yan immediately understood.

At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air could be heard.

He saw a sharp halberd piercing through the air towards Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan shouted as he swung his right fist to meet the halberd.

With a violent collision sound, a fierce force wreaked havoc, and Zhou Yan's right arm let out a jingling sound.

At the same time, this attack also came to a halt and floated in the air.

Zhou Yan's eyes focused, and he immediately saw clearly that it was a figure wrapped in black. He held a halberd in his hand and stared at Zhou Yan with a cold gaze.

Without saying a word, the figure in black raised the halberd and attacked again.

"Another Demon King Level expert." Zhou Yan did not expect that there would still be so many people from the Demon Clan. He quickly took out the Dark Green Sword from his storage ring and slashed out, forcing the Demon King to retreat. With a leap, he jumped several meters away.

"You juniors of the Human Clan actually dare to snatch my things? You are simply courting death."

The black clothed figure snorted coldly. He held the halberd in his hand and continued to chase after Zhou Yan.
