Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Arms made of white bone emerged from the underworld, and strong skeletons rose from it.

Anubis raised his scepter, and beams of golden light shot out from it, landing on the skull below.

Golden lines wrapped around the skull, eventually coalescing into suits of golden armor, as well as weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.

Anubis swung his staff again, and a few more glints of light appeared in the skulls' eyes. They took steps and nimbly charged toward the Demon of Desire.

The old demon of desire was filled with panic. Suddenly, he unleashed a powerful force and shook off the bone claws that were gripping his ankle.

But suddenly, two iron chains shot out from the left and right sides, accurately locking the arms of the old demon of desire and pulling her away from her escape.

The Demon of Desire turned his head and saw two skeletons, clad in golden armor and fully armed, tightly gripping the iron chains.

Countless skeleton warriors seized the opportunity to swarm forward. The Demon of Desire fought back fiercely, but she was helpless against this tireless, painless, and regenerating army of death that could be shattered. She used all her skills, but in the end, she was exhausted and captured.

Chu Ci slowly landed in front of the Demon of Desire, holding a golden longsword with the tip pointing downwards. She stabbed the Demon of Desire in the left chest, pinning her firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"I told you, don't mess with me! Don't mess with me! Why don't you listen?" Chu Ci grabbed the hair of the Desire Demon and pulled her head up.

Chu Ci stared intently into the eyes of the old demon of desire and said coldly, "What? Do you really think I'm like those students you bullied, tormented at your whim?"

"funny!"

Chapter 289 The Other Shore Flower Blooms, the Nightmare Demon Makes His Move

"Don't you like torturing people? Today I'll let you enjoy the feeling of being tortured," Chu Ci said coldly.

The next second, countless strikingly beautiful red flowers suddenly bloomed in the Yellow Springs.

The red flowers sway gracefully, very beautiful, but they give one a very unsettling feeling.

"Do you know what this flower is called?" Chu Ci asked with a smile.

"B-an-hua!"

As Chu Ci's words fell, the other shore flowers bloomed with scarlet light, and a phantom seemed to burst out of the body of the Demon of Desire.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The Demon of Desire roared madly, struggling desperately. When the crimson light fell on her, she felt as if her soul was being torn apart.

"How do you feel? And because your lives are connected to the life energy on Devil's Island, no matter how much I torture you, your vitality can be restored in time. So we still have a long time ahead of us. Flowers bloom slowly, water flows slowly, let's take it slow."

The whispers of Chu Ci stirred fear in the heart of the Old Demon of Desire for the first time in over a thousand years.

Suddenly, Anubis struck the water's surface with his scepter, and several thick water arrows shot out from the underworld in a certain direction.

Chu Ci looked back and saw a surge of black energy that blocked the Yellow Spring Water Arrow.

"As expected of the Nightmare Demon, he actually managed to break into the Underworld that I set up in the Mirror Space."

The Nightmare Demon arrived with a grim expression and said coldly, "Release the Desire Demon!"

Chu Ci reached out and pulled the golden sword out of the body of the Desire Demon, causing the Desire Demon to scream in pain.

"I won't let you go, so what? Want to spar with me?" Chu Ci pointed his sword at the Nightmare Demon, his killing intent palpable.

Nightmare Demon's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his hands clenched tightly behind his back.

If it were any other student, Nightmare Demon would have been there long ago, but facing Chu Ci, whose strength was completely unfathomable, he dared not rush forward.

He had a premonition that if he stepped forward to stop Chu Ci, he might become the one lying on the ground.

A chilling wind howled through the underworld, the red spider lilies swayed in the breeze, and the Yellow Springs flowed slowly, carrying the souls of the dead to an unknown destination.

Nightmare Demon looked around at his surroundings with apprehension. This place was too restrictive for the soul. Even with his strength, he kept having thoughts of sinking into the Yellow Springs.

After a long silence, Nightmare Demon sighed and said helplessly, "Release Desire Demon, and I assure you, the seven of us will not cause you any more trouble."

"I've heard that kind of guarantee before, but it's like talking nonsense!" Chu Ci said indifferently.

After a long silence, Chu Ci added, "Of course, I'm a kind-hearted person, a saint, and I can give you another chance."

“If you swear an oath that if you break your promise, the life energy on Devil Island will no longer protect you and you will be punished by heaven and earth, then I will release the old demon of desire.”

"You!" Nightmare Demon looked at Desire Demon, who was being tortured on the ground and howling in pain, and his eyelids twitched wildly.

Kindness and saintly qualities have absolutely nothing to do with you, Chu Ci.

Chu Ci lightly flicked his golden longsword and said casually, "How have you considered it?"

The Nightmare Demon remained silent, his black energy swirling in his hands as his aura slowly gathered and steadily increased.

"Want to fight?" Chu Ci's lips curled up, still refusing to believe in the power of the phone! Behind her, the Heavenly Candle appeared, roaring towards the sky. The Yellow Springs beneath the feet of the Old Demon of Desire formed a vortex, dragging her into it, her whereabouts unknown.

The Nightmare Demon was like a ghost; his figure vanished suddenly, only to reappear beside Chu Ci in the blink of an eye.

The black energy gathered into a claw, which, accompanied by a gust of evil wind, reached out to grab Chu Ci. In the blink of an eye, the black claw was about to seize Chu Ci, and the Nightmare Demon revealed a smile of certainty.

But the next moment, as Tianzhu's strange eyes lit up slightly, Nightmare Demon's smile froze on his face.

He discovered that the flow of time around Chu Ci had become extremely slow, to the point that even his swift black claws moved as slowly as a snail.

"The Law of Time? How is that possible? You're only a Soul Saint, how could you possibly comprehend the Law of Time?" Nightmare Demon exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock.

"Nothing is impossible before the Flower of Creation." Chu Ci said calmly, and the Flower of Creation martial spirit bloomed behind him. His first spirit ring lit up, and the fluctuating sword light on his golden longsword suddenly transformed into a fierce sword light that was a thousand meters long.

The slowing of the flow of time around him did not affect Chu Ci. Chu Ci raised his hand and suddenly swung his sword. Accompanied by the sword intent of "I am the only one", a fan-shaped golden light flashed across the underworld, scarlet petals scattered, and black river water splashed.

"Ah!" Nightmare Demon took the full force of the thousand-meter-long golden sword right in his face, screamed, and flew backward, crashing into the Yellow Springs, splashing a large amount of water.

Chu Ci treads through the Yellow Springs towards the Nightmare Demon, carrying a golden longsword, his face cold as if he were a ruthless Grim Reaper reaping the souls of the dead.

Nightmare Demon looked at Chu Ci as he slowly approached, his eyes filled with fear. He tried desperately to get up from the ground, but after several struggles, he could only stand up halfway before collapsing to the ground again.

Chu Ci's time law perfectly caught Nightmare Demon off guard, causing Nightmare Demon to take a direct hit from Chu Ci's slash, which was greatly enhanced by the power of creation, without any defense.

Even Yun Ming wouldn't dare say he could survive such a blow without any defense, let alone Nightmare Demon. If it weren't for the life energy of Devil Island protecting him, that sword strike would have rendered him unable to move a finger.

"Sigh, you guys are like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, one by one you're being sent to your deaths. It seems that a thousand years of reckless behavior has ruined your brains." Chu Ci shook his head as he stood in front of the Nightmare Demon, raising his golden longsword to stab him.

Suddenly, Anubis growled uneasily. Chu Ci keenly sensed that the mirror space and the underworld were being brutally torn apart and corroded by a terrifying force.

Chu Ci looked back and saw a surge of purplish-black energy breaking through the spatial barrier and pouring into the underworld.

Destructive energy? Why is it here? Chu Ci frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

But the next moment, Chu Ci's question was answered, because five figures crawled in from the gap created by the destructive energy.

One of the most familiar figures crawled into the underworld through the cave entrance. When it landed on the Yellow Springs, it bounced around as if it had stepped on a hot floor, while exclaiming in surprise from the other side.

"Holy crap, where is this place? It's so creepy!"

The figure turned around and saw Nightmare Demon lying on the ground. He shouted happily, "Nightmare Demon, we've come to save you!"

Chapter 290 Reconciliation with the Seven Old Demons, Continued Research

"Yo, Old Demon of Destruction, you've arrived!" Chu Ci said with a smile, his long sword still aimed at the Nightmare Demon lying on the ground, unable to move.

"Hey, hey, young brother, let's talk this out. Put your sword down first." The Old Demon of Destruction pressed his hands down, repeatedly comforting Chu Ci.

"You've already put down your swords, and you're already being naughty!" Chu Ci said calmly.

Chu Ci was still wary of the Seven Old Demons. He was not afraid of fighting them one-on-one, but he was not sure if he could withstand six or five of them.

The five old demons, including the Destruction Demon, remained motionless, their bodies tense, clearly ready to attack at any moment. However, considering the Nightmare Demon under Chu Ci's sword, they had no choice but to hold back.

Chu Ci also saw through the Five Old Demons' intentions. He concentrated his soul power and sword intent at the tip of his sword. The destructive energy from the small piece of destruction fragment in his storage bracer was drawn out by a golden thread and gathered at the tip of his sword.

If the five old demons in front of him make any unusual moves, Chu Ci can guarantee that with one sword strike, Nightmare Demon will be crippled or killed.

After a long standoff, Nightmare Demon said in a hoarse voice, "Alright, there's no need to be so tense, child. We agree to your conditions. As for the oath, we can do it now."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really?"

“Really,” Nightmare Demon immediately replied, swearing as Chu Ci had requested.

Only when the oath was made did Chu Ci remove the sword tip, pick up the sword, and walk to the side.

The other five old demons quickly ran over and helped Nightmare Demon up from the ground.

"Release the Demon of Desire!" the Demon of Nightmare said, catching his breath.

Chu Ci snapped his fingers, and a vortex appeared in the Yellow Springs. Two undead warriors clad in golden armor escorted the listless and terrified Demon of Desire as he rose from the vortex.

As soon as the Undying Warrior was released, the Desire Demon scrambled back to the Six Old Demons' side.

"Go!" Nightmare Demon uttered a single word, then turned and exited through the gap opened by the Five Demons, with the Six Demons following closely behind.

"Phew..." Chu Ci let out a long sigh of relief. Anubis's soul returned to his body, and he put away the Underworld Domain and the Mirror Space.

As the seasons turned, the desolate scenery of Devil's Valley once again came into Chu Ci's view.

Chu Ci looked at the sky, which was already turning a pale white, and sighed.

"Go and get some rest."

As soon as the Seven Demons returned to the cave, the Demon of Hatred couldn't help but ask, "Nightmare, are we really not going to make a move against that brat Chu Ci?"

"Don't move anymore. From now on, whatever Chu Ci wants to do, just cooperate with him," Nightmare Demon waved his hand and said.

"I've been feeling really stifled lately, and I'd like to let off some steam," the Abomination Old Demon said with dissatisfaction.

Nightmare Demon couldn't hold back any longer and punched Abomination Demon hard.

"Still venting your anger? Are you looking for a beating? Who do you think you are?!"

Nightmare Demon pointed towards Devil's Valley and shouted, "You want to vent? Fine! Go grab Chu Ci now and hang him up to whip him!"

The Demon of Hatred immediately lost his temper. He was not sure of Chu Ci's strength at first, but when he saw the Demon of Nightmare pinned to the ground by Chu Ci, he knew that even though it might not be the Demon of Nightmare's true strength, going to find Chu Ci would be almost like courting death.

Nightmare Demon looked around and said calmly, "Don't forget, our purpose is to give Shrek Academy students a brutal trial on Devil Island so that they can grow profoundly."

"But judging from the current situation, Chu Ci is very cunning and doesn't need this kind of training at all. So we don't really need to cause him any trouble. Let him do whatever he wants."

The Demon of Destruction immediately said aggrievedly, "Then do I also have to cooperate with Chu Ci's research? I feel that with this kid's ruthlessness, he could dissect me."

Nightmare Demon glanced at Destruction Demon and said calmly, "Don't worry, you are protected by the life energy of Devil Island. Even if you are dissected, you won't die."

The Devouring Demon patted the Annihilation Demon and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"

The other old demons patted the mournful-faced Demon of Destruction, then turned and went into the depths of the cave, leaving the old man alone at the cave entrance, sadly blowing in the cold wind.

"Damn it, I never want to be the first devil to bring in students for military training again."
