As soon as these words came out, Ye Wushuang couldn't help but be startled, and his face instantly turned grim.
"Actually, it can't be said that he is dead."
Seeing Ye Wushuang's change of color, Tianhang hurriedly explained: "To be precise, Uncle Master integrated the remaining soul into this void world in order to maintain the immortality of this place."
"Integrating into this realm of nothingness?"
Ye Wushuang frowned slightly, not quite understanding.
"Senior, I just said that there is actually an ancient monster sleeping in the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge here."
Emperor Chu Yu hurriedly explained: "The great demon is immortal and ferocious. Therefore, our ancestors of the human race could only use the divine art of reaching the sky and based on the remains of the first-grade heart Gu to create this void world."
"The void world was born in nothingness and exists in nothingness; and the way to maintain its operation is to absorb the power of the soul. Before, every sixty years, the void world would automatically swallow the soul of the great demon born to replenish the ability of this world.
, and secondly, it is to obliterate the spiritual intelligence of the birth of the demon body.”
"This repeating process is why the great demon has not been able to wake up to this day. It is also why the Sky Sword Continent has been safe and sound for thousands of years, dominated by the human race!"
An immortal monster?
Ye Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly, but a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
In ancient times, the demon clan flourished; although the great demon was at that time, it was known as a terrifying existence second only to the demon emperor.
But in fact, throughout the ages, except for those beings who passed through the Tongtian Road and left the Tianjian Continent, almost no living beings can survive death.
Even the Demon King is no exception!
However, there is one kind of exception among them.
But in Ye Wushuang's memory, that existence had all fallen before the human-monster war, right?
Ye Wushuang was confused, and Emperor Chu Yu continued: "But tens of thousands of years ago, a Western Desert Buddhist monk suddenly broke into this place. In the name of saving all living beings, he massacred the ancient monsters in Ten Thousand Beast Ridge, and sent them to
Soul; his original plan should be to kill all the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge to prevent them from going out and causing trouble for the Heavenly Sword."
"Unexpectedly, I accidentally touched the restriction of the void world, changed the formation to suppress the great demon, and awakened the sleeping great demon..."
"Why for Heavenly Sword? That old bald donkey clearly wants to cleanse Ten Thousand Beast Ridge and then take it for himself!"
Before Emperor Chu Yu could finish his words, Tianhang suddenly interrupted and cursed angrily: "Since the death of our ancestors, the hands of Western Desert Buddhism have begun to reach out to the entire Tianjian Continent; thousands of years ago, many disputes were started by Buddhism.
of."
"I even heard that when hundreds of emperors besieged our ancestors, there were shadows of those bald donkeys behind them!"
"Shadow of Buddhism?"
Ye Wushuang raised his eyebrows at this moment and asked immediately: "Did Xiao Jianyun tell you?"
"It's my disciple who heard it from the public..."
"There are some baseless rumors, why are you getting involved?"
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang's face suddenly darkened and he scolded with a stern expression.
When he was in the Western Desert, he was suddenly ambushed by hundreds of emperors. As the master of the Western Path, Buddhism never showed up during the whole process, which was very strange.
At that time, Ye Wushuang had some suspicions that the incident had nothing to do with Buddhism.
But firstly, there were no clues, and secondly, with the appearance of several traitors, it was enough to explain everything; therefore, Ye Wushuang took out the Buddhist door.
Now, when Tianhang suddenly mentioned it, he thought that there was another hidden reason behind the ambush on him thousands of years ago. However, he didn't expect that this kid only heard some rumors, which immediately made him dumbfounded, angry and angry.
Seeing Ye Wushuang's anger, Tianhang shrank his neck and lowered his head in fear.
Ye Wushuang was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at Emperor Chu Yu, waved his hand and said, "Keep talking!"
"yes!"
Emperor Chu Yu nodded and continued: "Fortunately, the great demon had just given birth to spiritual wisdom, and its strength was only comparable to that of a Nine Phase Realm warrior. Although the serious injury scared away the Buddhist monk, its strength was greatly damaged; but
The scary thing is that Tianmen appeared in advance and appeared on Baiyun Mountain."
"Everyone knows the value and significance of Ten Thousand Beast Ridge. The appearance of any Ten Thousand Beast Ridge in the past and present will cause a sensation in the entire continent; and at that time, Brother Pu and I had just pacified the Eastern Wasteland and built Cangyun. If Ten Thousand Beast Ridge were allowed to
If the news about Ling is leaked, I am afraid that not only Cangyun will be destroyed, but even the newly stabilized Donghuang will be devastated."
Speaking of this, Emperor Chu Yu sighed again and continued: "Based on this, after discussing with Brother Pu, we decided to hide this Ten Thousand Beast Ridge from the world."
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.
When he mentioned the Buddhist monks just now, he wanted to ask why Tianmen appeared now.
After all, according to Emperor Chu Yu, the Tianmen here appeared nearly ten thousand years ago; but for thousands of years, this matter has not been mentioned in the history books of Cangyun Empire or the entire Eastern Wilderness.
.
And this Tianmen only appeared a month ago because of Kitano Yamato's intervention.
Naturally, it cannot match.
But when he heard it later, he understood.
As he had guessed, the reason why this heavenly gate has not appeared for so long is entirely because it was sealed off with great measures nearly ten thousand years ago.
"The Tianmen is made of a special material, is huge in size, and has a strong demonic aura. If you and Pu Ruozhi, two strong men in the Illusion Realm, can perfectly hide and seal it, you may not be able to do it, right?"
Ye Wushuang said at this moment: "Besides you, Xiao Jianyun should also know about this back then, right? And he should be the one who banned this place, right?"
"good!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chu Yu immediately nodded and said with a bitter smile: "Actually, if Brother Xiao was not in the East Wasteland at that time, Brother Pu and I would never have thought of suppressing and hiding this place, and nothing would have happened later.
Something happened."
"What happened next?"
"That big demon has come out."
Emperor Chu Yu sighed for the third time, shook his head and said: "At that time, when we were preparing to seal the Tianmen, the big demon seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly became crazy and forced his way out."
"Although it was seriously injured at that time and only had the strength of one phase, but under the madness and fearlessness of death, even the most powerful Li Mo had to stay away; Brother Pu and I were naturally no match."
"Isn't Xiao Jianyun here too?"
Ye Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Even if he was not at the Emperor level at that time, he should still be at the peak of Li Mo. Dealing with that big demon shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"Yes, although Brother Xiao did not enter the Imperial Realm at that time, he still had the strength of half an Imperial Realm. It was easy to defeat the big demon, but..."
Emperor Chu Yu paused and continued: "But that big demon could not be killed no matter what; even though Brother Xiao tried his best at that time and even cut off the big demon's limbs, it was still crazy, still fierce, and still immortal!
"
"It was then that we learned the identity of this great demon...it was the ancestral demon!"
Indeed it is!
As soon as these words came out, Ye Wushuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and his stern face changed color slightly.
Just now, when he heard Emperor Chu Yu say that the great demon suppressed here is immortal, the name that came to his mind was none other than the ancestral demon!
In the ancient demon court, the demon emperor was the main leader, followed by the ancestors, with a total of twelve, known as the twelve ancestor demons.
Not only do they all belong to super-level existences and have the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth; moreover, it is said that the demon body will last forever and will be immortal throughout the ages. Even if the soul dies, the body will not be destroyed.
Moreover, it is said that even if the soul of the ancestor demon is destroyed, as long as the physical body is still there, a new spirit will be born every sixty seconds, which will directly inherit the ability of the ancestor demon and become a new ancestor demon.
It is precisely for this reason that in ancient times, the twelve ancestral demons were also known as symbols of immortality!
However, just as Ye Wushuang had previously puzzled, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had gradually disappeared due to various changes long before the war between humans and demons; it was even said that they had been annihilated long ago.
It is precisely because of this that in ancient times, the sages of the human race dared to take action against the Demon Court and joined hands to kill the Demon Emperor.
Otherwise, let alone the Demon Emperor, just the presence of the twelve ancestral demons can block the rise of the human race!
Then why did the ancestral demon, which had disappeared for tens of millions of years, appear ten thousand years ago?
Moreover, Ten Thousand Beast Ridge was built by the demon clan to avoid being hunted by humans during the war between humans and demons. It appeared after the ancestral demon disappeared, and the time does not match at all!
"I won't go into details about how terrifying the ancestral demon is. Seniors should also know about it, right?"
Emperor Chu Yu spoke again at this moment and continued: "When we learned the identity of the great demon, we collapsed for a while; this thing is immortal and there is nothing we can do about it."
"And if we let it go, once the mind in its body completely controls the demon body, the entire Tianjian Continent may be devastated. In this case, Brother Xiao had no choice but to suppress it temporarily, and then let Brother Pu and I enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge.
Look for clues.”
"After all, the ability of the ancestral demon to appear after tens of millions of years is inseparable from the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge; and after Brother Pu and I entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, we really discovered the secret of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge."
"The world of nothingness was discovered at that time!"
Speaking of this, Emperor Chu Yu sighed for the fourth time and said with a wry smile: "At that time, the three of us thought that as long as we brought the ancestral demon into this place, we could suppress it again."
"Unexpectedly, the void world at that time had already been broken due to the behavior of that Buddhist monk and was on the verge of collapse. To make up for the void world, you need to sacrifice the power of your soul."
"So, you and Pu Ruozhi split a part of your soul and stayed here to maintain the void world and suppress the ancestral demon?"
Ye Wushuang suddenly spoke at this moment and said directly.
"Yes, at that time, there were only two ways to go before us; one was to escape from this place before the ancestor demon recovered. In that case, although the three of us were safe, Cangyun was about to perish, and Donghuang was about to die.
It will be destroyed, and the entire Tianjian Continent will not be able to live in peace."
Emperor Chu Yu sighed for the fourth time: "The second way is to split our souls, replenish the energy of the void world, and suppress the ancestral demon."
"Brother Xiao needed to seal the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge and hide the Tianmen at the end, so the soul could not be damaged; naturally, only Brother Pu and I could do this."
"But at first, we thought that we only need to separate part of the soul and sacrifice the power of the soul, and there will be no problem; and splitting the soul, for those of us who have cultivated in the illusion, is just equivalent to losing an illusion.
It’s not big, so I didn’t think much about it.”
"But who knows, once any creature sacrifices its soul to the void world, it will cause the void world to ask for the soul endlessly; even if we split the soul, seal this place, suppress the Tianmen, the request from the void world will not
cut off."
"In other words, from the moment Brother Pu and I choose to sacrifice our souls, it means that every sixty years, the void world will swallow part of our souls from the two of us; until our bodies die and the path disappears,
!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was slightly startled, with an inexplicable sadness in his heart. At the same time, he suddenly understood why Pu Ruozhi was left with a broken soul and incomplete memory after being rescued by him.
Before, he had always thought that someone had used drastic measures to erase part of Pu Ruozhi's memory; now it seems that the reason why Pu Ruozhi lost his memory is probably inseparable from the void world!
"Unfortunately, when we realized this, it was already too late, and it was too late to notify me and Brother Xiao outside."
Emperor Chu Yu continued: "But although my generation of warriors has a long lifespan, it will eventually be exhausted; and if the two of us die, the void world will definitely collapse; once the void world collapses, the ancestor demon will
wake...."
"Therefore, Brother Pu discussed with me to sacrifice the souls of two people and change it to one person to hold it. In this way, even if one person dies, the other person can take over at any time to ensure that the ancestor demon does not wake up."
"And I was the founding emperor at that time. With the blessing of national destiny, under the same realm, the power of the soul would be much more powerful than other warriors. Therefore, I decided that I would be the first to sacrifice the soul. After I die, there will be
Brother Pu, pick up."
"But even so, when both of your souls are exhausted, or when the end comes, the result will still be the same?"
Ye Wushuang raised a question and frowned.
If the two sacrifice at the same time, instead of sacrificing one after another, it can indeed delay time; but the final result will not change, and the ancestral demon will still appear; in this case, it will be the same sooner or later, so why waste the soul?
After all, although the fantasy warrior can split his soul, the continuous division will still cause irreversible damage to himself; even, once the soul is seriously lost, the warrior will lose consciousness and become a walking zombie!
"That's the truth."
Emperor Chu Yu grinned at this moment and said: "But seniors don't know something. When the two of us split into these two souls, we had an agreement that one of us would die first, and the other would need to be killed."
The body was buried here as a tribute to his memory."
"Is it to commemorate the memory, or to extend one's life?"
Ye Wushuang suddenly smiled faintly and said slowly: "According to your idea at the time, seal part of the soul here. Firstly, to maintain the stability of the void world and suppress the ancestral demon; secondly, I am afraid that this void world can warm the soul.
Immortal."
"And your so-called agreement should be that if something happens to the body, another person will bring the body here and merge with the soul, right?"
"After all, in that way, both of you can use the corpse to resurrect the soul and regain a new life!"
