Capítulo 2252: Chapter 260: The Demon Lord Falls! The Mystery of Ruolan’s Origins (Part 3)

After speaking, he abruptly closed his eyes, summoning the last of his Divine Soul Power.

The fragments of his God Sense immediately shattered.

“Boom!”

Along with the intense energy fluctuations, the Demon Lord’s physical body and Divine Soul turned into dust, completely dissipating into the sky.

The storage ring, True Demon Sutra, and various treasures burst forth.

Wang Shouzhe slightly raised an eyebrow, scanning the surroundings with his God Sense: “Wife, your spiritual senses are even better than mine. Do you think the Demon Lord’s self-destruction this time is truly his end, or is it a deception? Is there any spirit remnant left to trouble future generations?”

“Husband, you’re really too cautious. If I had been half as careful back then, how could I have been fooled by that old dog, the Saint Emperor?” Liu Ruolan glanced at him. “Rest assured, from my observations, Chao Qiancuo is truly gone, his ashes scattered.”

“Saint… Ruolan is right.” Wu Dao and Emperor Xiu also expressed that they hadn’t detected any trace of the Demon Lord’s spirit remnant, confirming he was as dead as could be, without any chance of resurrection.

“If that’s the case, I’m relieved.” With a casual gesture, Wang Shouzhe gathered up the spoils from the Demon Lord’s explosion.

Among them, the most crucial item was the [Ming Sha True Demon Scripture].

Because of Liu Ruolan, Wang Shouzhe had even experienced the Sacred Image, yet it was his first time seeing either a True Demon Sutra or an Immortal Scripture.

Its form was slightly similar to a codex, resembling a book, only it appeared more substantial. The black cover’s patterns were more mysterious, and its aura richer and deeper, carrying an extreme aura of the Netherworld that seemed to resonate subtly with the world’s laws, profound and inscrutable.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was about to examine it closely, a huffy female voice suddenly emanated from within the Ming Sha True Demon Scripture: “Let me go! I hate your aura!”

As the words were spoken, a female artifact spirit clad in a black robe emerged from within the Ming Sha True Demon Scripture.

She was a young woman, appearing only in her twenties, with a voluptuous figure and an exquisite appearance, exuding a thick aura of the Netherworld.

She glared at Wang Shouzhe with an angry expression, her voice full of disdain and disgust: “Quickly take away your filthy hands, such a detestable life law…”

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Shouzhe had already grabbed her and tossed her into his storage ring.

This True Demon Sutra was entirely unsuitable for him, but was very suitable for Old Ancestor Longyan, so he couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.

Artifacts with such spirits often had proud and stubborn personalities; rather than spending effort communicating now, it would be better to directly hand her over to Old Ancestor Longyan, whose bloodline talents were highly compatible, for communication.

With this Ming Sha True Demon Scripture, Old Ancestor Longyan wouldn’t have to painstakingly tread out a True Demon Path bit by bit.

After all, that path was truly difficult to navigate.

He had specifically discussed it with Green Fern before, only to find out that the challenges along that path were unimaginably difficult, with countless insurmountable barriers, each a formidable obstacle.

Even she had only succeeded in traversing the Path of True Immortality thanks to the Azure Emperor Holy Diagram’s assistance and relying on an advanced codex.

Having a ready-made path to refer to naturally made things much simpler.

Apart from her, those who relied on a half-step Immortal Sutra to achieve True Immortal or True Demon status either had special opportunities or took shortcuts. For example, Blood Venerate forcedly broke through the barriers by burning his Life Gu, advancing to the True Immortal Realm.

Although Old Ancestor was qualified as a celestial woman, with unequaled talents and excellent comprehension, truly deserving the phrase “gifted by heaven,” no one could guarantee she could cultivate to the True Demon Realm without the True Demon Sutra.

Since the establishment of the Immortal-Demon Dynasties, it wasn’t as if no one had ever challenged it.

And those who dared to challenge the True Immortal and True Demon Realm with an advanced codex or half-step Immortal Sutra, which weren’t they talents bestowed by heaven? If qualifications at the celestial sons and daughters of heaven level could traverse this path, why hadn’t anyone passed through in these tens of thousands of years?

Even if we take a step back, if Old Ancestor could truly blaze a new path to the True Demon, the time and energy spent would be several times that of normal cultivation; if she hadn’t achieved True Demon before her longevity ran out, wouldn’t that mean all her efforts were in vain?

Apart from the True Demon Sutra, Wang Shouzhe also obtained two True Demon Weapons this time.

From this point of view, the Demon Lord was still quite wealthy; after all, the Wang family had managed to possess just one Immortal Artifact up to now.

These two True Demon Weapons, one was the [Netherworld True Demon Banner], capable of both attack and defense, could also be used for concealment, had strong overall capabilities, and balanced performance in all aspects, making it a very practical True Demon Artifact.

Logically, it seemed quite suitable for Old Ancestor Longyan.

However, this time the elimination of the Demon Lord wasn’t solely Wang Shouzhe’s achievement. He already took the True Demon Sutra, so naturally, these two True Demon Weapons should be distributed.

He couldn’t help but look at Wu Dao, Emperor Xiu, and Elder Tian Ji: “Which elder needs the Netherworld True Demon Banner?”

Wu Dao and Emperor Xiu shook their heads in unison: “Master Shouzhe, we were able to glimpse the true meaning of Level Thirteen and ascend to Immortal Plant thanks to your help. We merely contributed a little to this battle and haven’t even repaid you properly; how could we take any of the spoils?”

Elder Tian Ji hesitated for a moment but ultimately said, “This Netherworld True Demon Banner seems quite suitable for your family’s Old Ancestor Longyan, so I won’t vie with her for it.”
