A master of comedy!

Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace.

In a secret chamber, as the nation's destiny was refined, the golden light on the old eunuch's body became increasingly dazzling, and his black robe seemed to have turned into golden armor. A flame-shaped eye even faintly appeared between his eyebrows.

Meanwhile, natural disasters frequently occurred throughout the Great Xuan territory, causing widespread suffering and lamentation among the people.

The voice was filled with grief, and it seemed to have stirred something in the fate of the nation. The remaining fortune that had not yet been refined suddenly transformed into dragons and snakes and rushed out of the old eunuch's body, as if trying to escape.

The nation's destiny is imbued with a spirit, sensing the turmoil in the land and the suffering of the people, thus igniting their final fighting spirit.

But the old eunuch just gave a cold smile.

The next moment, the flame-shaped eye between his eyebrows opened, and then a domineering, high-pitched, and fierce bird cry suddenly rang out in the secret room.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-winged roc phantom flew out from its body, its wings spread out, moving as fast as lightning, and snatched the fleeing dragon-snake in its mouth, swallowing it whole.

Then the Golden-Winged Roc flew back into the old eunuch's body.

That was his primordial spirit, and also his greatest secret, unknown even to the other four demons who were sworn brothers.

The Golden-Winged Roc is dead.

Or rather, the physical body is already dead.

During the great calamity at the end of the Tang Dynasty, his opponents were stronger and he was more seriously injured. The one responsible for guarding and converting him was Mahakala.

As the wrathful form of Vairocana Buddha, this one was not in a good mood. As a result, Garuda suffered a lot of torment. In addition, since his demonic thoughts were the strongest, the punishment was also the most severe. His injuries not only did not heal, but became more serious.

After escaping from Mount Ling, he was just putting on a brave face. Otherwise, given his domineering personality, how could he have agreed to become sworn brothers? He would have forced the other four demons under his command, and if they didn't agree, he would have swallowed them whole.

In order to prevent the other four demons from discovering his true intentions, he suggested that they go their separate ways, but in reality, he was already on the verge of collapse.

After they separated, his injuries were so severe that he had to disintegrate, and even his primordial spirit was in grave danger. Fortunately, he encountered a corpse that had just died.

The other party was an old and ugly eunuch, but he had no choice at the time, so he could only possess the body of another and be reborn.

Later, he concealed his abilities as an old eunuch, sneaked into the palace, and while enjoying the rare treasures and elixirs in the national treasury, he pondered how to eat dragons.

The roc feeds on dragons, but since there are no more true dragons in the world, it has turned its attention to the fate of the nation.

On Lion Camel Ridge, he swallowed not only the people, but also the fortune of the entire Lion Camel Kingdom. The taste was wonderful and extremely beneficial to his cultivation.

And so he went into complete hiding, secretly stirring up trouble and devouring the dynasty's fortune, hoping one day to overcome the nine tribulations and return to his peak!
"This body is too weak."

After an unknown amount of time, the old eunuch slowly opened his eyes. His white hair had turned a little blacker, and the national fortune within his body had been fully refined, causing his magical power to surge. However, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

The mortal body is far too fragile. If it were the original demon body, it could devour and refine the entire fortune of the Great Xuan in one bite.

Where else do we need to digest things slowly like we do now?
The old eunuch shook his head. If his primordial spirit hadn't already integrated perfectly with this physical body, he would have wanted to change bodies long ago.

As he pushed open the door, preparing to devour the Great Xuan Kingdom's fortune, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

A vague sense of foreboding arose within me.

With his third eye opening between his brows, he looked eastward towards the distant Luoyang, where a new kind of destiny was undergoing a transformation.

Like a snake transforming into a dragon, it exudes an alluring yet dangerous scent.

Is Zhou Sheng about to break through?
The old eunuch frowned. He believed that his intuition was not unfounded. Zhou Sheng seemed to be blessed with great fortune and often unleashed tremendous potential at crucial moments.

Although the other party had only recently broken through to the next realm and was unlikely to break through again in the short term, he still decided to do something just in case.

The old eunuch changed direction and, instead of devouring the nation's fortune, went to an underground dungeon.

This place is hidden hundreds of feet underground, surrounded by sealing formations. Even the guards are elders of the Xuanqiong Division, and there are three human immortals guarding it, representing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

It was as if some unparalleled villain was imprisoned there. When the old eunuch entered the prison, apart from the three immortals, none of the other guards noticed him at all.

The three immortals bowed and paid their respects to the old eunuch before closing their eyes again.

Inside the prison, there was a seven or eight-year-old boy being held.

Yes, such an astonishing display of force, yet all that was imprisoned was a chubby-cheeked little boy.

He was dressed in plain clothes, with big, bright eyes that still held a touch of childishness, and he was intently playing with an iron ox.

The old eunuch watched quietly for a long time, then smiled and said, "You acted very well, but you can't fool me."

The little boy remained silent and continued playing.

"If you kill one person for me within three days, I will lift the spell and give you your freedom."

The little boy finally stopped, and he looked up at the old eunuch with innocent eyes.

"Grandpa, Xiaohu doesn't understand what you're saying?"

The old eunuch smiled faintly, his voice filled with boundless confidence, while a powerful aura emanated from him, his body radiating golden light like the sun, causing the little boy's expression to change slightly.

“I am about to overcome my final tribulation. When we became sworn brothers, we made a promise that whoever overcomes nine tribulations first will become the new ruler of the Three Realms.”

"Third brother, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Upon hearing this and sensing the old eunuch's incredibly powerful aura, the little boy's face finally showed a noticeable change for the first time.

The innocence in his eyes vanished, replaced by a haughty and indifferent demeanor, along with a hint of hidden apprehension.

"Congratulations... big brother."

He emphasized the last two words heavily, with a hint of sarcasm.

Yes, this little boy who looks only seven or eight years old is Yama, who has been reincarnated as a human after falling into the cycle of reincarnation, and is also the third of the Five Demons.

Although his reincarnation was later than Yaotai Feng's, he had already awakened his memories of his past life. However, he was secretly found by the old eunuch and imprisoned in this dark and sunless dungeon.

"You think this is a cage? On the contrary, this place was specially built by your elder brother to protect you."

"In order to completely sever ties with the secrets of heaven, I paid a huge price. Otherwise, why do you think that murderous bastard Zhou Sheng wouldn't have come to you to eliminate him completely?"

King Yama remained silent, but he knew that what his elder brother said was true.

Ever since he deciphered the mystery of his unborn child, he had been gripped by fear. Everyone knew that Zhou Sheng was a fortune teller and might come looking for him at any moment.

To this end, he killed his parents in this life and slaughtered the entire mountain village, just to silence them.

Then I started running, running non-stop, not daring to stop at all.

Because he has not yet fully recovered his cultivation, if he were to encounter Zhou Sheng, he might not even have the chance to be reincarnated.

Until he was imprisoned here by his elder brother and a curse that forbids divine intervention was placed upon him.

"Who to kill?"

After a long silence, he finally spoke up and asked.

“Your old acquaintance, Mr. Zhou.”
