Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Besides the sealed abyss itself, there are also the methods of many prehistoric demon emperors and Dao Lords. Even if the top experts of the present era, such as the Grand Master of the Great Cause and Ye You of the Sword Sect, were to come in person, they would not be able to open it.

Moreover, the root of the plague has been ravaged for countless years, and the forbidden creatures behind the door are growing weaker and weaker, and could die at any moment.

Legend has it that in the world of Stone Gate, there is also an ancient sea of ​​fire that descended from the heavens to suppress the resurgence of the root disease.

Without external assistance, the root cause of the epidemic will never be able to emerge; it will truly be imprisoned until the end of time.

This is why, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, when the Root Plague encountered such a peerless powerhouse as the Sunset Demon Emperor, it completely lost control and could not suppress the urge to escape.

It had waited too long, so long that it was almost at the end of its life.

When the Sunset Demon Emperor inquired about the status of the three companion spirit treasures, the Root Plague responded immediately:

"All have been restored..."

"Enough for you to sweep across this starry sky..."

Immediately, it sighed, its chilling smile seeming to fade, and said in a barbed tone:

"However, even if you refine them, don't think you can completely control them. If you want to use them and then discard them, let me tell you, whether I can get out or not, I can destroy them."

"So what are your conditions?" Sunset Demon Emperor frowned slightly.

"Choose one of the three spiritual treasures. I will teach you the method of refining them and grant you some temporary access so that you can unleash at least 60-70% of their power."

"After that, you will help me break the seal outside the door."

The root cause of the epidemic sets forth its specific requirements.

To this, the Sunset Demon Emperor slowly shook his head and said:

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to help you. You know that the method used to seal you back then was not an ordinary magic or supernatural power. It will weaken and fade away with time.”

"These seals, accumulated over countless years, are already indestructible. Without a corresponding method to break them, I am powerless to do anything about them."

"You have planned for hundreds and thousands of years to get those evil spirits to break one-ninth of the seal. Even I may not be able to help you escape in my lifetime."

"Besides, you don't need to have too high hopes for me. I don't even know if I'll be able to survive the war with the human race in a few years."

"........"

The stone gate fell silent. The source of the epidemic sensed something was wrong and coldly questioned, "What do you mean?"

"The demon race and the human race are about to go to war."

"This world is now divided into three parts: the Great Ye Dynasty, the Void Sword Sect, and the Sunset Royal Court of my clan. The first two are both territories of the human race. One is a nation established by martial arts, and the other is a sect established by cultivating immortality. Their strength should not be underestimated."

Subsequently, the Sunset Demon Emperor gave a general description of the strength of the Imperial Dynasty and the Sword Sect, as well as their various powerful foundations, to the source of the plague.

"They also allegedly sacrificed more than ten ancient life-bearing stars to cultivate a hybrid meteorite from the other shore, in order to hunt me."

"If a real war were to break out, the ancient immortals of the two major human powers would probably crawl out of their coffins. In short, this is a life-or-death racial war. Unfortunately, my demon race has no more innate magical artifacts left in the world, which is why I have fallen into this predicament."

The Sunset Demon Emperor slowly said, his main strategy being to use information asymmetry to lure people into a trap.

"Ah."

"It's just a mere Void Shadow Sword and an unheard-of Faith Body, yet you, a mere Nine Palaces Ruler, are so afraid of it?"

The source of the plague was particularly dissatisfied with this cowardly descendant of the demon race and was about to reprimand it when it heard it defend itself again.

"You're joking... senior."

"If it were truly with the assistance of these two magical artifacts, I might still be able to turn the tide and make the demon race invincible, but the current situation is..."

"The human race within the Heavenly Abyss is about to emerge, and one of the human powerhouses there, known as 'Mysterious Venerable,' possesses a full four innate magic artifacts and is at the Supreme Dao Lord realm. How terrifying is that?"

“If the boundary barrier hadn’t still existed, preventing him from leaving, I would have already taken the vast royal court away from the mortal world and gone into exile in the heavens.”

"what?"

"Four innate magical artifacts?"

Even the source of the plague was horrified upon hearing this, unable to comprehend how such a freak could have emerged from the human race.

If this is the case, and he were to enter the mortal world in the future, he would surely join forces with the Great Ye Dynasty and the Void Sword Sect to destroy the Sunset Royal Court.

At that time, as the source of the prehistoric calamity of the human race, it will have no chance of escaping.

"Yes, my clan planted a pawn in the imperial dynasty, who was placed on the throne, and thus learned of this secret. Later, I risked my life to sneak into the Heavenly Abyss to seize the Xuanzun's magic weapon, but he saw through my origins. Then we arranged to fight in a more distant outer space, but without the innate magic weapon in hand, that clone of the Nine Palaces and Six Stars was killed in the starry sky."

The words of the Sunset Demon Emperor were a mixture of truth and falsehood, which immediately made the forbidden creatures inside the stone gate feel a sense of crisis.

"Is Tianyuan about to be born?"

"Unbelievable...unbelievable...If it's that place, it certainly has such a foundation, and it can indeed nurture such an ultimate powerhouse."

"Oh? Senior, do you know the origins of Tianyuan?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, seizing this clue, and continued to press for answers.

"Yes, that is also a mythical place, a forbidden zone for life. When I was born, it had existed for countless years."

"Legend has it that Tianyuan was once the core area where all races thrived. Later, a change occurred, a war broke out, and a divine power that could penetrate heaven and earth pierced through it and sealed it away, isolating it for tens of thousands of years? Or hundreds of thousands of years?"

"I can't remember exactly, but Tianyuan is very ancient..."

The Sunset Demon Emperor pondered for a moment, then steered the conversation back on track, requesting without hesitation:

"Senior, the demon race is on the verge of collapse, and the human race is about to attack. I wish to borrow three spiritual treasures to turn the tide of the war and determine the fate of the world."

"Once the chaos is quelled, I will spare no effort to help you escape this predicament, even at the cost of everything I have."

"If we cannot borrow the weapon, I have no confidence to fight to the end in this battle. In order to avoid heavy casualties among my people, I will have no choice but to abandon the territory where we have lived for generations and retreat to the starry sky."

The Sunset Demon Emperor first used diplomacy before resorting to force, making his decision extremely clear: if the Sunset Demon Emperor returned empty-handed today, he would lead the Sunset Royal Court and flee without a fight.

As a forbidden area for the demon race, the Evil Soul Sea will inevitably fall into the hands of the human race in the future, and the root disease will never be able to escape.

The threat was made crystal clear in their words.

"......"

"You junior are cunning and ruthless, truly remarkable, truly remarkable."

The source of the disease let out a sinister laugh, and said rather readily:

"Since you want weapons, I will lend them to you. However, the Undying Blood Armor is the body where I will be reborn in the future, and it cannot be lent out. If you are not careful, it will devour you. But I can lend you the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner and the Illusion-Breaking Emperor's Eye."

"The two are the strongest spear and the strongest shield. With their assistance, you cannot be defeated."

Regarding the explanation that the disease originated from the source of the plague, the Sunset Demon Emperor feigned hesitation and argued:

"But senior, the human race already has five innate magic artifacts, while I only have two. Can we really withstand that?"

"joke!"

"Do their low-end goods even deserve to be compared with my companion spirit treasure?"

"Before I was sealed, I was besieged by nine innate magical artifacts, five of which were from the demon race and four from the human race. In the end, I even shattered three of them. Although innate magical artifacts do not have a clear hierarchy, they do have absolute strengths and weaknesses."

"My Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner and the Illusion-Breaking Emperor Eye are top-tier among top-tier, the best of the best, far beyond the reach of ordinary innate magic weapons."

"At that time, you will use my refining method, and I will grant you additional access to allow you to unleash 80% of their power. Unless those human experts are all at the peak of the Heavenly Heart Realm, they will not be able to withstand the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner."

"I'm just asking you, have they arrived yet!"

"The root of the disease," the source of the disease asked unhappily, his voice cold and stern.

It was disgusted by the greed of the Sunset Demon King and wanted to seize all three of its magical treasures in one go.

"Not yet..."

The Sunset Demon King lowered its head and whispered, sensing the danger, it hurriedly explained:

"That Grand Preceptor of the Great Ye Dynasty is a half-step Martial God, or perhaps he has already reached the Martial God realm. If he is combined with the fortune of the imperial dynasty, he may be able to enter the late stage of Martial God."

"The sect leader of the Void Sword Sect is roughly at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Heart realm, but he wields the Void Shadow-Bearing Sword."

"As for Tianyuan Xuanzun, he has been unable to escape so far, and his strength is unknown. He is suspected to be in the late stage of Tianxin. Even though he possesses the four innate magic weapons, he cannot directly intervene in the battlefield."

"But I possess the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner and the Illusion-Breaking Emperor's Eye, which my predecessors possessed; I am certain to return in triumph!"

"Don't forget your promise. After we wipe out these two major human forces, we can further hunt the stars, devour all spirits, and enhance the power of the two spiritual treasures. In this way, your help to get out of trouble will be twice as effective."

The root of the plague never forgets its conditions, reminding the Sunset Demon King once again.

"Yes... I will definitely keep my promise."

"I also have a weapon-forging technique. If you can seize the Void Shadow Sword, I can teach you to wash away the mark of the human race. In the future, with three powerful weapons in your hands, even if the Xuanzun of Tianyuan were to appear, he would be unable to do anything to you."

The root cause of the epidemic continues to pose new temptations.

It's like an old computer that, after being revived and powered on, has been constantly iterating and updating its hardware and software. In just a short time, it has regained about 50-60% of its original charm.

The Sunset Demon King was plotting against it, but it was also plotting against the Sunset Demon King. Both sides had their own ulterior motives and were secretly scheming against each other.

"Is that so? That's wonderful, thank you very much, senior." The Sunset Demon Emperor smiled politely.

"Those two spiritual treasures have my mark imprinted on them. When the time comes, you only need to activate them to activate the mark with a thought, and then use the mark to freely use the many supernatural powers of the two spiritual treasures."

"it is good......"

The Sunset Demon Emperor kept this in mind, a fleeting hint of suspicion flashing in its eyes. It would never dare to use its true form to refine it; it would rely on its clone.

"Also, there's something else I need you to handle for me, as a condition for borrowing those two magical treasures."

"Senior, please speak."

The Sunset Demon Emperor cupped his hands and said, "As long as it is within my capabilities, I will never refuse."

"Hmph, I'm letting you do it for your own good. Otherwise, if you use my two spiritual treasures in the future, it will instantly attract the attention of those remnants. At that time, they will join forces with the Great Ye Dynasty and the Void Sword Sect to besiege you, and you will be in trouble."

"Therefore, you must eliminate them in advance."

The voice of the source of the plague was hoarse and chilling, like a whisper from a vengeful ghost in the deepest hell.

"Please enlighten me, senior. Could you perhaps be a descendant of those six demon emperors and three human Dao Lords from back then?"

The Sunset Demon Emperor dared to speculate.

"right......."

"My Ten Thousand Poison Banner contains the blood of those people or demons from back then. I also used their blood to evolve a plague specifically targeting them. Once infected, death is certain, and even if their ancient ancestors were to be resurrected, they would be powerless to help."

The root of the epidemic smiled faintly and recounted the past:

“Ever since I was thrown into this abyss, every few thousand or ten thousand years, there are envoys from the demon race or the human race who come to inspect whether I am alright.”

“Even if their cultivation is not as good as yours, I dare not make a move easily, for fear of alerting them. Until this time, for a full six thousand years, no human or demon envoys have come here to inquire about my situation. I suppose they themselves may have encountered problems, or they may be declining with each generation.”

"Primordial Phoenix, Three Fiends Crows, Twelve-Tailed Purple Flame Fox, Fighting Saint Ape, Devouring Void Worm, Ancient Tree of Immortality, True Cultivation Pavilion, Undying Ruins, Human King Clan."

The source of the plague, as if reciting a familiar list, named the enemy races and forces that had once brought it to its demise. The Sunset Demon Emperor listened silently, refraining from making a statement for the time being.

Most of these races have almost disappeared into the long river of time; at least, they have never been seen since the beginning of its existence.

Meanwhile, the True Cultivation Pavilion, the Undying Ruins, and the Human King Clan were all within the human race's sphere of influence, and there was no news of them.

Just as the Sunset Demon King was pondering just how troublesome these potential enemies would be, the Root Plague gave it a decree.

"They may be lying low, but that's alright. Once you refine my spiritual treasure, they will lead you to the location of those descendants. You must defeat them one by one and wipe them out completely."

“Alright... As long as the power left behind by their ancestors is not enough to threaten me, I can help you.”

The Sunset Demon Emperor readily agreed to the request of the root plague. Subsequently, two remote star coordinates echoed clearly in its ears from within the stone gate, along with the associated sacrificial method.

"Thank you for bestowing this magical treasure upon me, senior."

"Then I'll go first."

"Go."

After a brief conversation, the forbidden creature behind the door fell asleep again.

Without further hesitation, the Sunset Demon Emperor tore open a golden spatial rift in an instant, revealing a deep and cold cosmic starry sky.

Its afterimage vanished abruptly, sweeping across the boundless sea of ​​stars and heading straight for the coordinates of the Eye of the Broken Illusion.

Chapter 575 A Gap That Can Be Called Desperate

The vast starry sky is brilliant and profound, with one magnificent galaxy after another coming into view.

The moment the Sunset Demon Emperor burst into the sky, it unhesitatingly used its racial divine power—the Three Thousand Worlds Raid—and its body was enveloped in a layer of blurry, flickering golden flames.

Skipping the prelude to casting a spell, the entire universe suddenly appears incredibly narrow at some speed exceeding the limits.
