Chapter 529 The Horrible Truth (1/2)
Xu Hei shook his head and threw away such distracting thoughts. Don't think too much about things that shouldn't be thought about.
At the same time.
On the peak in the center of the cemetery, the skinny old man stared at Xu Hei with a gleam in his eyes.
"This boy is not affected by the inner demon, I'm afraid he has seen something."
"However, as long as the memory of this place is not leaked, everything is harmless, and this person has gained a lot, and can attract more people to enter the virtual world."
"One day, all the inner demons here will be cleared, including those commanders."
…………
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.
Unknowingly, more than five years have passed since Xu Hei came to the battlefield outside the domain.
During this period, Xu Hei killed more than 100,000 inner demons, and even encountered the "commander" in the mouth of the old man, that is, a huge tombstone, whose strength is far beyond the ordinary inner demon.
However, to be on the safe side, Xu Hei did not go to fight the commander, but chose to bypass.
With such steady progress, Xu Hei's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Not only has his means and experience become richer, but his cultivation has also been raised to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which is only one step away from the late stage.
However, he also encountered a serious problem-
In order to raise insects, most of his spirit stones have been consumed, and he will run out of them in one year at most.
In the past three years, the number of Xu Hei's insect swarms has doubled, and the number of soul-eating ants has exceeded 10,000. The number of ghost-faced stone spiders has also reached 1,000.
There are only 20 golden armor king insects, which require semi-top-grade spirit stones to produce, and Xu Hei is reluctant to give them up.
In addition, Xu Hei also found that the golden armor king insect likes to eat metal substances. When he feeds the star fragments to the golden armor king insect, the king insect will evolve, grow black and gold armor on its body, and grow a pair of sharp swords, like a mantis.
But the mortality rate is very high. Xu Hei tested five, four died, and only one king insect successfully evolved, which made Xu Hei stop the experiment.
The evolved king insect is not very powerful when taken out alone, but it has a strong killing power against metal and can be used to restrain magic weapons.
"Raising insects consumes too much energy. If it doesn't work, we can only let the insect swarm sleep first." Xu Hei said.
Due to the lack of spiritual stones, the insects will not starve to death, but the number cannot grow. After a long time, they will return to the stone eggs and enter a dormant state.
Xu Hei was thinking about whether to kill people to rob treasures. The disciples of those big sects are richer than each other. Killing one of them can feed an army.
"Forget it, there are many gains here. There is no need to take risks again." Xu Hei shook his head.
Xu Hei believed that his growth rate far exceeded that of others. As long as he was given enough time, he would crush everyone sooner or later.
Including the commander he met, Xu Hei was not in a hurry to deal with it. He would practice for ten or a hundred years first.
…………
Deep in the cemetery, a remote and uninhabited place.
Here, there is a huge tombstone, and there is a hill behind it, which is very similar to the place where Xu Hei obtained the inheritance of the law.
This is the commander mentioned by the tomb master.
A woman in white stood in front of the tombstone, holding the demon-killing flag in her hand, staring at the tombstone with excitement in her eyes.
"After three years, I finally found it."
The woman in white exhaled, took out the demon-killing flag, and inserted it into the ground, and the formation took shape in an instant.
In an instant, an illusory shadow floated out from the tombstone.
This is a vicissitudes of life old woman, holding a crooked neck cane in her hand, and there is a lotus between her eyebrows. Unlike other demons, her shape is clearer.
"Qing'er, after 500,000 years, you are here again." The old woman looked at the woman in white and sighed.
"I came to liberate you." Xu Bai looked serious and whispered, "Master."
This old woman is one of the commanders mentioned by the tomb master, and also the master of Qingdi in those days, Lianhua Zhenjun.
The cultivators buried here are strong and weak. The commander is one of the strongest cultivators, and Lianhua Zhenjun's strength is also the top among the commanders.
In the past 60 million years in the virtual world, countless demon slayers have been defeated by Lianhua Zhenjun.
"It seems that your defeat at my hands did not teach you a lesson." The old woman smiled.
Xu Bai said: "I have forgotten what happened back then."
"Then I will help you recall it." The old woman just waved her hand.
Suddenly, a picture appeared in the void.
There were two figures in the picture, a graceful woman stepping on a green lotus, and the old woman in front of him.
Qingdi, and Lianhua Zhenjun.
The picture moved quickly, and the two immediately started a battle.
"This is the situation of your fight with me back then. At that time, you only lasted three moves. How many moves do you think you can last now?"
While the old woman was speaking.
In the picture, Lianhua Zhenjun held an illusory cane in his hand, pointed in the air, and a green beam of light rushed out, and Qingdi's green lotus vehicle directly shattered and turned into powder.
Then, the second blow came. Lianhua Zhenjun uttered thunderous sounds, and countless petals surrounded the Green Emperor, forming a gorgeous sea of flowers. The green light on her body quickly disappeared, and her body was like a withered plant, instantly decaying.
In the last blow, Lianhua Zhenjun took the crutch and just tapped it lightly, and the Green Emperor flew backwards, his body shattered into countless petals, his body was broken, and his life or death was unknown.
The scene stopped abruptly.
"You were so unbearable back then, and now you have a new body, what can you do?" The old woman looked at her and sent a sarcastic voice.
Xu Bai did not speak.
She had long forgotten the memory of the virtual world 500,000 years ago. Back then, she came here to defeat Lianhua Zhenjun, and this time, she did the same.
At the center of Xu Bai's eyebrows, an illusory blue lotus gradually solidified, left the body, and appeared at his feet. The blue light bloomed, the space vibrated, and in a moment, all the flowers bloomed.
She expressed her meaning with actions.
"Haha, very good, if you can really let me be free, it will be worth my teaching you." Lianhua Zhenjun smiled.
She held the cane in her hand and gently waved it towards the sea of flowers. In an instant, the sea of flowers summoned by Xu Bai withered directly, and the blue lotus under her feet also collapsed, just like that year.
"Heavenly thorns and earthly thorns!"
Xu Bai clapped his palms, and countless thorny flowers grew in a radius of 100 miles in an instant. They were everywhere in the sky and on the ground, penetrating the space, and Lianhua Zhenjun's body was also torn apart.
However, Lianhua Zhenjun was not affected at all, but just sneered.
"After so many years, there is really no progress!"
"Binding soul!"
Lotus True Lord uttered thunderous sounds, green light rippled, Xu Bai's body shook violently, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, he flew backwards, and his eyes fell into confusion.
"It's over!"
Lotus True Lord passed through the thorn bushes, and even if the illusory figure was torn, it did not affect her movements at all. She was seen holding a cane and knocking towards Xu Bai's eyebrows to end this battle.
But at this moment.
Xu Bai's body suddenly changed and turned into a giant python. She opened her mouth and sprayed a large amount of gray gas. This was the soul-fixing powder she had refined with all her efforts, just for this moment.
Lotus True Lord's shadow suddenly stagnated.
Afterwards, Xu Bai kept moving, and the small teleportation talisman was activated at the same time, moving to the place of the big tombstone.
Lotus True Lord was surprised and said: "My binding soul is useless? You have two souls?"
At this moment, the consciousness of the Green Emperor was bound, and Xu Bai controlled the body instead.
Xu Bai came to the tombstone. She did not take the opportunity to attack Lianhua Zhenjun, but changed her target to the tombstone!
"Pah!"
A pill bottle was thrown out and hit the tombstone. The liquid in the pill bottle splashed and merged into the tombstone.
Gradually, the sound of "chi chi" corrosion came from the tombstone, accompanied by a shrill scream.
A body as black as ink, half of it stuck out from the tombstone. This dark figure looked exactly like Lianhua Zhenjun, but she was a real person and Lianhua Zhenjun was a phantom.
"Ah!!"
The dark figure made a miserable cry, and her body was melting. The juice in the pill bottle was extremely harmful to her.
The moment Lianhua Zhenjun saw the entity, his mind stagnated and said, "What is this...?"
"Why are there two of me?"
If Xu Hei was here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance.
This dark entity is the replica of Lianhua Zhenjun by the extraterritorial demon!
…………
At this moment, in the center of the cemetery, on the top of the mountain.
The old man who was sitting quietly like a pine tree suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the direction where Xu Bai was, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.
"How is it possible? How could she find such a secret?"
The old man's eyes were full of disbelief, but soon, he reacted and sent a message to everyone who was exorcising demons.
"This demon has been possessed by the devil, everyone go and kill it immediately!"
After the message came out, the old man sighed and began to talk to himself again facing the ground.
"Although the Green Emperor has exorcised many demons and made great contributions, since he has discovered such a secret, he can't stay! It's not safe to erase the memory, it's better to kill it."
"What do you think?"
…………
"This demon has been possessed by the devil, everyone go and kill it immediately!"
At this moment, everyone in the cemetery received such news. At the same time, Xu Bai's appearance was also revealed in front of everyone.
It was a big white snake and a woman in white clothes with carved green lotus. At the same time, Xu Bai's current location was also marked.
Xu He also received the message and was stunned.
"Xu Bai is possessed by a demon, let's go and kill him?"
"What does this mean?"
Xu Hei frowned, but still rushed in that direction.
Others might believe it, but Xu Hei would never believe that Xu Bai was possessed by a demon.
Besides, according to what Tomb Old Man said, even if he was possessed by a demon, he could teleport him out of the virtual world and erase his memory, so why kill him directly?
"Did Xu Bai discover some secret? Even Tomb Old Man couldn't wait to get rid of him, what's going on?" Xu Hei's eyes flashed.
There is no doubt that Tomb Old Man is powerful, but this person seems to have never left that position from beginning to end, and even the killing was done by outsiders.
Everyone that Xu Hei has eliminated along the way does not seem to be a demon in his heart.
They may be crazy or hysterical, but no matter what, everyone has one common feature, they are resisting something!
Xu Hei had discovered these doubts a long time ago, but he just didn't want to delve into it. Being a fool and getting benefits is enough, why bother to suffer?
But now, Xu Hei found that things were not simple.
Xu Hei stepped on the Star Moon Sword, and his speed increased to the extreme. He performed a magical power called Star Moon Escape, which was suitable for flying swords. It only took an incense stick of time to reach the scene.
He was the third to arrive, and the first two were Gu Yunxi and Ye Li.
These two women had some connection with the Green Emperor and were the closest.
"It's you!"
Ye Li discovered Xu Hei and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Yunxi, signaling her not to say anything.
Xu Hei's eyes were staring straight ahead.
I saw a large tombstone on the flat ground ahead, which was the tomb of a commander.
On the tombstone, half of the human body extended out. It was a dark figure, full of evil energy, with a ferocious face, and screamed.
Xu Hei recognized at a glance that this was an extraterrestrial demon, not an inner demon!
And the so-called "inner demon", the illusive old woman, is standing aside blankly, at a loss what to do.
"What's going on?"
Xu Hei's mind exploded with a bang.
Countless thoughts and ideas intertwined into a mess in an instant.
Extraterrestrial demon? Inner demon?
An ancient war with unknown causes buried hundreds of millions of people, and the strange tomb master...
Because Xu Bai discovered the extraterrestrial demon and wanted to get rid of it...
Combining everything together, Xu Hei came to a terrible truth.
Xu Hei was unwilling to delve deeper before, but it didn't mean that he was stupid or that he had poor analytical skills. Now, with his full thinking, he immediately thought of a reasonable explanation.
"The inner demons I got rid of before were not inner demons, but everyone's obsessions."
"Why would someone erect hundreds of millions of tombstones to bury all the dead? Would anyone be so boring?"
"No! That's not a burial, but a seal!"
"It's not sealing the dead, but sealing the demons outside the territory!"
Xu Hei stared at the writhing and screaming extraterrestrial demon in the tombstone and came to a terrifying conclusion.
Tomb Boss was lying to him, from beginning to end!
All the obsessions he got rid of existed to seal the demons outside the territory. Every time he got rid of one, he was opening a seal.
Now, the only doubt is whether there are extraterrestrial demons in every tombstone, or only the commander's tombstone.
If it's the latter, there won't be too many tombstones for the commander, so that's still acceptable.
But if it's the former... hundreds of millions of tombstones, hundreds of millions of extraterrestrial demons?
Xu Hei felt his scalp was exploding.
"Who is Mr. Tomb? Why does he do this?"
Xu Hei's mind exploded and he kept thinking.
If we say that everyone has a copy of the extraterrestrial devil, let this be the premise. Then Mr. Tomb, perhaps, is no longer Mr. Tomb.
Just as Xu Hei's thoughts were swirling.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis came from behind him, and he saw a beautiful red shadow approaching him quickly. There were countless fire phoenixes lingering in the palm of his hand, and the temperature suddenly climbed to the top.
"Phoenix fire starts a prairie fire!"
There was a scream from behind, and Xu Hei's surrounding area instantly turned into a sea of fire, the space was distorted, and countless fire phoenixes were flying, surrounding him. Above his head, the fire phoenix seal fell from the sky, and a prison cage took shape in an instant.
It was Jiang Jiufeng who took action!
Jiang Jiufeng also heard the order and rushed to meet Qing Emperor, but when she saw Xu Hei, her heart suddenly became angry. She didn't care at all and took action directly, killing Xu Hei first.
Although Xu Hei has changed his appearance, Xu Hei's spiritual aura has long been locked by the Fire Phoenix Seal, so there is nothing wrong with it!
