Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 345 Demon Lord
Fifteen years later, in the world of Liaozhai.

At this time, there were only twenty-five years left before the world was upgraded. The changes in the world were intensifying. Fortunately, the Jade Capital suppressed the two realms, so there had been no turmoil.

At the same time, there are not many demons left in the world, and most of them are fairies who have never done evil.

Those who commit evil and manage to escape punishment will also face pursuit and killing by cultivators in the world if they are discovered.

At this time, in Jinhua City.

An unremarkable man in black, carrying a wooden box and with a cold expression, was walking down the street, his gaze sweeping over the passersby as if searching for something.

Half a day had passed, and it was already evening, but the man still hadn't stopped. He walked from the south of the city to the north, exploring every nook and cranny of the bustling city of Jinhua.

Clearly, he didn't find what he was looking for, but his unusual behavior attracted the attention of some people.
"Hey kid, I've been watching you sneak around for a while now. If you're looking for something good, why not tell me?"

The man in black slowly turned around in the deserted alley and looked at the two men with sinister smiles and daggers in their hands who had been following him all the way.

Clearly, these two men were no pushovers, but the person opposite them was no better.
A crimson glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes as he murmured:
"Face skin delivered to your door?"

Soon, two screams echoed from the alleyway amidst flashes of crimson light, only to abruptly cease.

A moment later, the man with a scar on his face, one of the two men who had surrounded the man in black, slowly walked out of the alley carrying a black wooden box. The other two men in the alley had also disappeared, as if they had never been there.
At night, the scarred man traveled westward, exiting from the west gate of Jinhua and heading straight into the mountains and forests.

"Upon reaching Lanruo Temple and crossing the mountain ridge, one will arrive at Baiyujing."

The man's eyes flashed with a scarlet light as he muttered to himself. He walked to a dilapidated temple, looked up at the plaque above it.

Lanruo Temple

As the crimson light in the man's eyes grew stronger, his demeanor also changed rapidly, becoming arrogant and haughty.

Soon, the man suddenly raised his head, and a divine sense swept rapidly across the surrounding mountains and forests. In just a moment, it covered an area of ​​a thousand miles, allowing him to see everything in the mountains and forests.

"Hmph! That scoundrel has already left!"

A cold voice came from the man's mouth, his tone filled with undisguised killing intent, clearly indicating that he was up to no good.

"The main body of the demonic sword has vanished without a trace, and the four scattered fragments are completely undetectable; they have likely all been suppressed."

"Damn bastard! Everything I've done has actually benefited this villain!"

The man spoke through gritted teeth, his demonic energy erupting and spreading outwards in all directions.

Ever since his true spirit entered this world and possessed a painted skin, he has been investigating why this world has suddenly changed so much in just a few decades.

However, from the moment he possessed the body, he was relentlessly and relentlessly hunted down. In order to conceal his whereabouts under the Heavenly Dao of this realm, he could only secretly endure using the power of the painted skin itself.

Only now has he been able to thoroughly investigate the many things that have happened in this world, and he has even found out the location of Baiyujing's residence back then.

"Guo Yang, the Daoist Master of Bai Yujing, Guangyi Daoist!"

The more this man spoke, the more murderous aura emanated from him!

He placed the demonic sword into this world, intending to weaken it until it was destroyed, so that he could easily seize the world's origin.

This is also to prevent the trouble that would result from forcibly taking away the origin of this world, or even causing the world to self-destruct.

But now, this world is about to be upgraded, and Bai Yujing has gained immeasurable merit by eliminating the many demons born from this demonic energy and has been favored by the Heavenly Dao!

Otherwise, how can we explain the explosive growth of the powerful figures in Baiyujing, who comprehend the Great Dao as easily as reading and writing?
Only by accumulating merits and virtues can one gain the favor of Heaven and achieve great things on the Great Dao in just a few decades.

Therefore, the demonic energy he poured into this world actually created Bai Yujing and the Dao Lord! "Judging from your actions, it seems you have no intention of hiding any longer."

Upon hearing the clear voice behind him, the man turned around abruptly, his scarlet eyes fixed on the figure in the platinum robe that had suddenly appeared behind him.

The man's pupils contracted upon seeing this person; he could sense the feeling of directly confronting the Heavenly Dao of this world.

really
The dark demonic energy around the man rose even higher, and a terrifying killing intent erupted!
Niu Yi watched this scene with a smile, letting the other party display their power with bared teeth and claws, without revealing even a trace of magic power around him.

Despite the fact that the other party had cultivated for fifteen years using this painted skin and possessed top-tier skills in the current Jade Capital, they still couldn't cause any trouble in front of him.

Unless the other party's true form appears, it's just a matter of a thought.

Niu Yi smiled and said:
"It seems that the sword was thrown into this world by you. May I ask your name?"

The man stared intently at Niu Yi, his body radiating murderous intent!
"Hmph, although I don't know if you are a chosen one born when this world was on the verge of destruction or something else, you, a dying man, have no right to know my name!"

"I advise you to return my demonic sword as soon as possible! Otherwise, I will extract your soul and turn it into a celestial lantern to burn day and night for ten thousand years to vent my hatred!!"

"You seem to have confidence."

Niu Yi nodded slightly with a sigh, but his expression remained unchanged.

He was well aware of the other party's intentions. They were simply waiting for the world to begin its ascension, then forcibly descending upon it. At that time, the world of Liaozhai, which was undergoing its ascension, should be able to barely support a Great Luo Immortal. Then, this person would have to test his abilities against him.

Furthermore, this time is most likely during the world's upgrade process. If the world completes the upgrade, the Heavenly Dao will also become stronger, which will be very disadvantageous to the other party. Therefore, the other party will inevitably forcefully descend at this time.

Unfortunately, Niu Yi was also waiting for that same time.

"Hmph! You scoundrel, I..."

Seeing that the man refused to reveal any more information and only resorted to threats, Niu Yi lost interest in asking any further questions.

Niu Yi looked up at the sky, and a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, transforming into a thunder dragon that instantly struck in front of Lanruo Temple, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

"boom!!!!"

When the lightning dissipated, the dark figure was long gone from in front of Niu Yi, leaving only a bottomless, charred crater.

"I'll let you enjoy your freedom for a while, but after twenty-five years, you will be the third Great Luo who has defeated me."

"But before that, perhaps we should also take a look at what Shennong left behind. I never expected that the thing would end up in Zhuang Sheng's hands."

With a flick of his sleeve, Niu Yi quickly filled the huge crater in front of him, but the aura of heavenly lightning contained within it still lingered there.

Niu Yi took one last look at the three characters "Lanruo Temple" on the plaque, then quickly disappeared in front of the temple gate.

world outside.

The bald man in black robes, who was sitting cross-legged in the chaos, suddenly groaned, and the scarlet mark on his forehead flashed with scarlet light again.

"Hmph! I've investigated this matter thoroughly with a wisp of true spirit. I'll settle accounts with you sooner or later!"

"Daoist Guangyi, the Dao Master of Baiyujing? Let me, the Demon Lord, see just what abilities you, a little thief, have to dare call yourself a Dao Master!"

The bald man in black robes slowly stood up, looking at the world before him. Behind him, dark demonic energy rose continuously, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall Buddha-demon sitting cross-legged on a scarlet lotus, quietly watching the world before him, waiting for the right moment.
