<h4>Chapter 640 – Ancient Demon g</h4>
Ancient Demon Corpse?
When Long Chen was at the Nine Spirit Purgatory, Long Shan had talked about something called the Ancient Demon Corpse from the Ancient Demon Domain. At the time, he had briefly discussed it with Little Cat, and they spected that it was the reason why the Ancient Demon Domain region was barren, and that it could be in the seventhyer of the Seven Layered Demon World.
“The Ancient Demon Corpse can now wake up and move around since it has absorbed sufficient earthly spiritual Qi. The Ancient Demon Corpse once belonged to a master; after being treated and forged through a secret technique, it became a powerful puppet. Its body is especially tough. Jiang Wuxie should have a way to control it,” Little Cat said in the Primordial Realm.
Long Chen licked his lips and squinted.
By now, Jiang Wuxie had left everyone in the dust, heading towards the Ancient Demon Domain with a look of excitement on his face. He was a master at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, so he could travel fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Long Chen’s field of vision. Long Chen could not give chase even if he wanted to.
He suddenly had a feeling that he had let the tiger go back to its mountain.
“Seventh Brother!” Long Yue and the others all came to Long Chen’s side anxiously. They had forgotten about the injured Zhao Danchen, who wasying on the ground.
The other people of the Martial Alliance looked at each other, not daring to move recklessly. This group of people was just too strong, and Zhao Danchen was no match for them. They had no choice but to back away obediently like cowards. Zhao Dancheny on the ground without anyone caring for him. The people of the Martial Alliance were all frightened, and no one dared to drag him back.
Zhao Danchen, who was on the verge of death, was forgotten by everyone. At this moment, his eyes were closed, but no one noticed that his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was an effect of the strong healing ability of his Golden Combat Body and because he had secretly taken some spiritual medicine.
Long Chen’s attention was fully grabbed by themotion at the Ancient Demon Domain.
“I can’t believe the legendary Ancient Demon is waking up now! This Ancient Demon has consumed copious amounts of life force from thisnd, and its body is very tough; it can match at least a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator in battle, though it may be even stronger!” Long Shan exined in shock, being the person most qualified to speak at this moment.
“Fourth Earthly Martial Stage?” Long Chen was a little speechless. The Divine Martial Empire was truly changing. First, the appearance of Long Shan, who was strong enough topete with the Martial Overlord. And now the Ancient Demon Domain was about to possessbat abilities of a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator?
With everyone listening, Jiang Wuya said, “When I was young, I heard my father say that there is an Ancient Demon Corpse in the seventhyer of the Seven Layered Demon World. When the Ancient Demon Corpse wakes up, the Ancient Demon Domain will not need to bow down to the Martial Alliance! They will need to kneel at our feet instead! I’m guessing that Jiang Wuxie has been holding a grudge ever since he joined the Martial Alliance! Now that the Ancient Demon Corpse has finally woken up, I think the Martial Alliance will have a huge problem on their hands. Jiang Wuxie has had to submit to them for so many years; he must be very resentful!”
When they heard his exnation, they were all shocked.
“The Martial Alliance is not the only one with a problem. It’s an evenrger problem for us. Now that the Ancient Demon Corpse has woken up, there are three major factions in the Divine Martial Empire—the Martial Alliance, the Ancient Demon Domain, and the bunch of us grouped together. The Ancient Demon Domain has worked with the Martial Alliance for many years, so I’m afraid they’ll both target us first. Everyone, don’t forget that I killed Jiang Wuxie’s son. Would he let me go like that?” Long Chen said solemnly after a moment of deep thought.
When Jiang Wuya heard him, he said sourly, “Seventh Brother, I’m so sorry. I didn’t think that the Ancient Demon Corpse would wake up today. Had I known, I would not have asked you to spare Jiang Wuxie.”
Of course, Long Chen did not me him. Jiang Wuya was only taking their brotherhood into consideration. If it were Long Chen, despite any conflict between them, he would not want his biological brother to die. Therefore, Long Chen said hurriedly, “Second Brother, don’t misunderstand me. I don’t think that at all. He was lucky that he managed to escape. However, we must think of a solution now. The Ancient Demon Corpse will emerge immediately. Should we back away for the moment, or prepare to snatch the Ancient Demon Corpse from Jiang Wuxie? Second Brother, do you know how to control the Ancient Demon Corpse?”
Snatch the Ancient Demon Corpse from Jiang Wuxie?
Everyone thought about it and felt like it was a good idea.
Although Long Chen was young, he was the strongest person here other than Long Shan. That was why he still had a major right to speak. In fact, his right to speak even surpassed Long Shan since Long Shan had only juste out and could notmand Jiang Wuya and Jian Chen, who were unrted to him. Jiang Wuya, Jian Chen, and the others basically saw Long Chen as the leader now; even Long Yue was used to listening to him.
This was all formed out of habit.
When everyone looked at Jiang Wuya, he thought for a moment and said, “I remember now. I think Father once passed down a ck g to my brother. It’s called the Ancient Demon g. He told my brother that he must protect it carefully and not to let anyone other than us brothers know about it. The Ancient Demon g must be the key to controlling the Ancient Demon Corpse!”
“So, we only need to snatch the Ancient Demon g?” asked Long Chen.
“I think so. But we must first see what Jiang Wuxie intends to do. If he is bent on being our enemy, then we must snatch the Ancient Demon g. If he is willing to join forces with us to destroy the Martial Alliance, I think we can coborate. Both of us have been bullied by the Martial Alliance after all!” Long Yue said, using her big sister card.
Long Chen had noment.
They were all siblings who fought alongside each other, and they often discussed amongst each other toe to agreements.
After Long Yue finished, she sought everyone''s agreement, and when they all agreed, she nodded and said, “Then it is decided.”
Even more violent shaking came from the Ancient Demon Domain. The strongest cultivators present all headed towards the epicenter.
Long Chen looked over and saw the Ancient Demon Domain’s grand doors. Beyond the grand entrance was another set of pitch-ck doors that looked like gaping jaws opening to an endless ck abyss. Long Chen remembered that the ce was called the ck Prison. When he entered the Ancient Demon Domain, his physical strength was tested in the ck Prison’s strong gravity.
Long Chen did not know how deep the ck Prison was, only that he had only covered a tiny distance.
Jiang Wuxie was standing in front of the ck Prison, so emotional that he was trembling. Such a powerful weapon was now going to be in his control, and he was unimaginably excited.
“Power, power. I can’t believe that I, Jiang Wuxie, will get to experience this too. How long has it been? How long? How long have I been suppressed by the Martial Alliance? By that bastard Zhao Wuji? From today onwards, I will have the Ancient Demon Corpse. Zhao Wuji will be nothing to me!”
Jiang Wuxie could no longer hold in his excitement andughed like a madman.
As the mountains shook, the five remaining Demon Kings, two Demon Saints, Jiang Wushang, the Grand Elders, the twenty-eight Demon Generals, and other people arrived and stood behind Jiang Wuxie. They had a rough idea of what was happening and were all excited. They fell to their knees behind Jiang Wuxie and cried in unison, “Congrattions, Demon Emperor! With the Ancient Demon Corpse on our side, the Divine Martial Empire shall belong to the Demon Emperor from today onwards!”
Every single person had a look of ecstasy on their face!
Jiang Wuxieughed loudly and waved. “Don’t just congratte me! Every single one of you will also benefit from this. From today onwards, the Ancient Demon Domain will no longer be the Martial Alliance’s puppet. We are now equal to them. In fact, we possessbat abilities exceeding those of Martial Emperor Zhao Wuji!”
“Congrattions, Demon Emperor, for bing the number one master of the Divine Martial Empire! Sooner orter, we will unite the whole Divine Martial Empire and rule over it!” cried a Demon King excitedly.
Jiang Wuxie was smug and said with a grin, “Alright, that’s enough sucking up. Everyone, back off. The Ancient Demon Corpse ising up. I’ll be controlling it. Be careful, or it’ll identally hurt you!”
Everyone nodded and backed away, leaving Jiang Wuxie standing in front of the ck Prison’s doors. He pulled a ck g out of his Universe Pouch. The g was only the size of his face and had golden embroidered edges. It had a blood-red, half-meter-long gpole, which he held. A blurry demon silhouette drawn using blood surrounded by blood-red runes decorated the g. The runes twisted in a bizarre manner, as if they were alive. This was the Ancient Demon g.
This was the object that allowed Jiang Wuxie to control the Ancient Demon Corpse.
“The ck Prison leads directly to the seventhyer of the demon world?” Long Chen watched with surprise after he stopped far away.
No one would have expected the ck Prison to lead to the seventhyer.
Themotion grew more vigorous, and Long Chen watched with bated breath. Suddenly, thick, ck mist poured from the ck Prison and enveloped Jiang Wuxie instantly. As the ck mist grew, it also shrouded the Ancient Demon Domain.
Long Chen sensed a dangerous aura within the ck Prison, as if a powerful beast was lying within. However,pared to a demonic beast, the thing inside had an extrayer of violence and massacre in its aura, even madness. This feeling was simr to the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon.
