CapĂtulo 2036: Chapter 2035: The Dark Overlord Awakens
Xu Zimei felt the abundant power within himself.
This strong power surged wave after wave, making him feel comfortable in body and mind, as if the world was vast and he could go anywhere.
At this moment, Xu Zimei felt that he had long since escaped the realm of humanity, and immortality seemed like a trivial matter.
Human desires are endless.
When you have only a hundred years of life, you wonder if you can achieve immortality.
But once you achieve immortality, you wonder if you can achieve eternal life.
Xu Zimeiâs figure returned to the Divine Continent; he wanted to see the changes in the Divine Continent.
The azure blue planetâs True Fate was hidden within his body.
After entering the Divine Continent, Xu Zimei felt that the world had become even wider.
Southeast, northwest, so many places have extended for countless thousands of kilometers.
In addition, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth has become even more intense.
Previously, when Xu Zimei was in the Three-Flower Realm, the upper limit of the Divine Continent was a Dao Fruit Powerhouse.
But now he has entered the Three Corpses Realm, and the worldâs upper limit has been raised to the Three-Flower Realm.
This is the most direct benefit.
And as the area becomes more expansive, the number of beings it can support will also increase.
The saying goes, one area nurtures one areaâs people, and itâs actually not wrong.
When the number of creatures on a planet is too high, the planet cannot bear it and heads towards destruction.
Creatures develop to a key point.
But the quantity of creatures is equally important.
Just like Xu Zimei at this moment, although he does not interfere in the affairs of the Divine Continent, he still hopes for the continent to progress in a healthy way.
Xu Zimei met Gongsun Muya.
Gongsun Muya had been almost overwhelmed during this period.
He had to conduct experiments for Xu Zimei and also find ways to promote his own technology in the Divine Continent.
He scarcely had any time to rest.
When Xu Zimei arrived, Gongsun Muyaâs experiment had just yielded results.
Itâs often said that timing is everything, and this was the perfect moment to arrive.
Gongsun Muya was looking at the experiment results, sometimes frowning and at other times looking perplexed.
âHow is it?â Xu Zimei asked.
Now he wanted to know whether the curse power on this Immortal Token was indeed the Life Curse.
Otherwise, Xu Zimei would also venture into the Death Swamp.
âItâs out, take a look,â Gongsun Muya said as he handed over the experiment results.
âIâve also studied the curse you collected from Mu Yang, and the results suggest that the curse on this Immortal Token is indeed the Life Curse.â
âBut I still donât know how to extract the Life Curse from it.â
Xu Zimei needed the Life Curse for body cultivation, so he had to completely extract the Life Curse.
âTry using the Death Curse to draw out the Life Curse,â Xu Zimei suggested.
âTwo different curses, life and death, are surely mortal enemies.
If the Death Curse encroaches, the Life Curse wonât stay idle.â
âRight, why didnât I think of that,â Gongsun Muya nodded quickly.
âLet me try. Wait a moment, we should have results soon.â
Xu Zimei smiled and replied, âNo hurry.â
He walked out of the laboratory. This visit to the Divine Continent was not only about the curse but also another thing.
And that was the Dark Overlord.
Earlier, the Dark Overlordâs Divine Soul and body were gathered, taken from the hands of the Chaos Master by Xu Zimei.
He hadnât gotten around to reviving the Dark Overlord.
Mainly because Xu Zimei had been always busy, and this matter wasnât urgent.
Though the Dark Overlord was of the Demon Race, who knew what his disposition would be after so many years.
Xu Zimei, for safetyâs sake.
Having now broken through to the Three Corpses Realm, he was even more confident.
Even if the Dark Overlord were unwilling to obey his orders, he who could revive him could also kill him.
The most complex thing in this world is the human heart.
Thus, Xu Zimei would never overestimate himself.
Using the status of a Demon Lord, he could make all the Demon Race submit to him.
The authority of the Demon Lord was brought by the previous generation, unrelated to him.
At this moment, he took out the Dark Overlordâs Divine Soul and body.
That body was towering and majestic.
Just like a mountain peak, it soared into the clouds, making one stop in awe.
And the Dark Overlordâs Divine Soul was in a dormant state.
Generally speaking, without a strong Demonic Qi to awaken it, even if you combine the Divine Soul and body, it would be futile.
Average Demonic Qi wouldnât suffice.
It requires Demonic Qi like Xu Zimeiâs, that of a true Demon King.
At this moment, Demonic Qi surged around Xu Zimei.
The powerful Demonic Qi was quite something, shaking heaven and earth, soaring into the sky.
That continuous Demonic Qi, perhaps could be called a sea of demons now.
Enveloped the Divine Soul of the Dark Overlord.
The Demonic Qi was awakening it.
That Divine Soul initially showed no reaction, and Xu Zimei was not in a hurry.
At this moment, a few Demon Generals, led by Bai Meng, stepped through the air, as if sensing something.
âLord, this isâŠâ
Staring at the massive black silhouette in front of them, the group was astonished.
âIs this the Dark Protector?â
As one of the four chief protectors of the Demon Race, the Dark Overlordâs status and power far exceeded that of Bai Meng and the other Demon Generals.
âI found it by chance, letâs see if we can revive him,â Xu Zimei nodded, smiling.
âHeaven above favors the Demon Race,â Bai Meng muttered to himself.
Then he shook his head.
âItâs not about Heaven, itâs our lordâs fortune!â
Bai Meng and the others watched from the side.
At this moment, the Divine Soul of the Dark Overlord seemed about to awaken.
It slowly began to move.
Although the speed was slow, the sign of awakening was a positive step forward.
The Demonic Qi in Xu Zimeiâs hand became more intense.
At this point, the Divine Soul of the Dark Overlord began to move faster, flying towards its body.
The moment the Divine Soul entered the body.
A streak of dark Demonic Qi tore through the firmament, as if gathering countless years of power, breaking through the void in an instant.
Straight up into the depths of the clouds.
What incredible might lay upon this body.
In life, the Dark Overlord must have been a powerful Three Corpses existence.
This isnât an exaggeration; after all, the four great protectors of the Demon Race are its face.
Typically, if there are issues unsolvable within the Demon Race, the protectors typically handle them.
The protectors not only guard the safety of the Demon Race but also help deal with many formidable enemies.
At this moment, the Demonic Qi on the Dark Overlord grew increasingly vast.
The entire firmament and earth were dyed pitch black.
The Dark Overlord let out a roar.
Fully awakened from millennia of slumber.
His long hair streamed, revealing an old but vigorous elder.
Adorned in black clothes entwined with black Demonic Qi, his eyes were imposing and commanding without anger.
As he opened his eyes, it seemed as if the entire world had been pierced through.
He first glanced around in all directions.
Finally, his gaze landed heavily on Xu Zimei.
His brows held some confusion, along with a hint of surprise.
âAre you the new Demon Lord?â
The Dark Overlord spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
It was because he hadnât spoken for so long, rendering the world an unfamiliar place to him.
