Chapter 1332: Chapter 1331: Advancement to Heaven Venerable, the Inherited Power of the Demon Lord
âIn fact, the Demon Lord rebirths every billion years, and we are all resurrection vessels of the Demon Lordâs rebirth.
You are Xu Zimei, and also the Demon Lord.
But strictly speaking, Xu Zimei is you, and the Demon Lord is not necessarily you.â
Only Chu Tianâang spoke seriously.
But Xu Zimei was somewhat confused upon hearing this and shook his head, replying, âI donât quite understand.â
âSimply put, the Demon Lord can be many people, can be you, can be me, can be the Demon Lord of the previous generation.
Itâs an existence that cannot be permanently destroyed.
You must understand, even if we die, the Demon Lord will just reincarnate for some years and eventually resurrect.
But if you and I die, we are dead forever,â Chu Tianâang explained.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Zimei finally understood.
Xu Zimei is him, but the Demon Lord is not necessarily him.
Even if he dies, a new Demon Lord will be born.
âI understand,â Xu Zimei nodded.
âSo in the future, you must tread carefully. Being an enemy of the Heavenly Dao, one misstep could mean eternal doom.
Many people fail to understand this principle, always thinking they are immortal, even if killed, they can resurrect through reincarnation.
But what they donât understand is, after reincarnation, the new Demon Lord has nothing to do with them anymore,â Chu Tianâang sighed.
Thinking back, this was his attitude back in the day, therefore serving as a warning for the next Demon Lord.
âThank you,â Xu Zimei nodded.
Actually, he knew well inside, his real trump card was the Divine Continent, the world he created himself.
Not the identity of the Demon Lord.
Even if he is not the Demon Lord, he will fight to create his own realm.
And being the Demon Lord is only an aid along his path.
It could embellish, but not provide in dire need.
âWhat exactly did you experience during the Heaven Challenge?â Xu Zimei asked curiously.
âAs far as I know, during the Demonâs Advent, you were already invincible in the world.
Why were you utterly defeated after the Heaven Challenge, with some dying, some exiled?â
âAlas,â Chu Tianâang sighed deeply.
Not knowing what he recalled, his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.
âUnspeakable, unspeakable,â Chu Tianâang shook his head and replied, âWe walked different paths, every generation of Demon Lord walks a different path.
In the end, itâs still the Demon Race itself that suffers.â
âAccept the legacy, no matter where you eventually reach, itâs your opportunity.
I just warn you, without absolute certainty, do not easily challenge Heaven.â
The two sat cross-legged, surrounded by two swirling torrents of Demonic Qi.
Demonic Qi shot to the sky, then twined and converged in the void.
This massive Demonic Qi dyed the void black, at the convergence center, winds rose and clouds spun, forming a bottomless vortex.
Chu Tianâang formed seals with his hands, powerful energy gathered from within his body.
It seemed all forces were about to be gathered, while his figure became increasingly thin.
âThe Dharma of Heaven Demon, the main seal in dust.â
In Chu Tianâangâs palm, a pentagram-shaped mark completely formed.
The moment this mark appeared, even without deliberately releasing a powerful aura, its inherent strength already made the surrounding void boil.
Then the void collapsed, the entire continent began to shake.
âThis land cannot withstand this force, it may sink and rise,â Chu Tianâang said.
âBefore the continent collapses, you must complete the legacy, or it will be detected by the Heavenly Dao.â
The pentagram mark floated, then slowly embedded in Xu Zimeiâs brow.
At that moment, Demonic Qi surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming the sky.
Xu Zimei felt as if the world before him disappeared, the only thing existing was endless Demonic Qi.
The sea of Demonic Qi seemed about to drown him.
From the outside, one would see a shield of Demonic Qi forming around Xu Zimei.
The shield was jet-black, and nothing inside could be seen clearly.
Chu Tianâang slowly stood up, merely crossing his hands behind his back, calmly watching Xu Zimei transform.
At this moment, the continent they were on continued collapsing, with countless pieces falling off.
âŠâŠâŠ
Xu Zimeiâs current realm is the fourth realm of the Great Emperorâs Five Realms: the Realm of Life and Death.
There is still a way to go before reaching Heaven Venerable.
Originally, Xu Zimei intended to slowly comprehend, but now with so much powerful force pouring in.
It was as if something had been penetrated, powerful forces ran through his organs, and even nurtured his Divine Soul.
The understanding of the Heaven Venerable realm also deepened more and more.
What is Heaven Venerable? It exceeds life and death, being unparalleled above heaven and earth, becoming a dominator in these Nine Domains is not impossible.
A powerful flow of Demonic Qi circulated within him, Xu Zimei seemed to enter a state of clarity.
Thoughtless, except for the boundless Taoist Charm swirling around.
In various vein gates within his body, spiritual seas surged like waves.
This state lasted for half a day, Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes.
Only the might of Heaven Venerable encircled him.
He sensed his tenth vein gate was about to breakthrough, once opened he would be the Great Saint.
However, the Spiritual Energy still lacked a bit.
Even if just a bit, he still couldnât break through to the Great Saint.
Only Xu Zimei could feel, the next step would be to condense the Life and Death Soul, once it emerges, he would be the Great Saint.
The black shield on his body started to shatter, powerful momentum swept in like a tornado.
Inside, Xu Zimei saw a flashing pentagram mark.
This pentagram attached to his body, unleashed unimaginably powerful force.
âHow do you feel?â Chu Tianâang smiled looking at Xu Zimei, and asked.
âA lot stronger,â Xu Zimei said.
âYouâve broken through to Heaven Venerable now, but thatâs not the main point.
The truly impressive thing is the pentagram mark within you, thatâs the core of the legacy,â Chu Tianâang explained.
âCore,â Xu Zimei slightly frowned.
Actually, he wanted to test the power of this pentagram, but he felt that this power was too strong.
He feared his body couldnât bear it, so he hadnât used it.
âWithin this pentagram, it gathers the power stored by previous Demon Lords,â Chu Tianâang said.
âOnce used, itâs reduced.
So you must remember, unless in lifeâs danger or crucial moments, donât use it lightly.â
Xu Zimei slightly nodded.
As they talked, the continent beneath them had completely collapsed.
After passing the pentagramâs power to Xu Zimei, Chu Tianâangâs figure had become increasingly thin.
âI must leave now,â Chu Tianâang said.
âFrom now on, you are the sole Demon Lord, I wish you clear the path ahead, and ultimately become the true Demon Lord.â
As Chu Tianâangâs words concluded, his figure completely dissipated.
