CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 255 MY MASTER IS THE DEMON EMPEROR

After Chen Pingping and Hei fell into the Spirit Realm, Earth Chicken had opened the Array, letting Guang Xiaoyu in before it entered the Spirit Realm itself.

Guang Xiaoyu looked around the cave, involuntarily taking a sharp intake of breath.

Wow!

She had thought Chen Pingping was merely having some nervous twitch, which was why he’d been digging here.

But she had never imagined that the Wuji Sect concealed such terrifying secrets: an ancient altar, a fearsome golden creature, and an Ancient Ferocious Beast—Qiongqi.

Was her Senior Brother playing for such high stakes?

She swallowed hard and turned to Chen Shixian. "Where is my Senior Brother?"

"He fell into the Spirit Realm, along with Hei," Chen Shixian replied anxiously.

Hearing these words, Guang Xiaoyu’s mouth fell open slightly, her large eyes round and staring intently at the altar...

Has the passage been opened?

Apparently not, right?

How did Senior Brother go to the Spirit Realm?

Something’s off!

She instinctively sensed something eerie.

Chen Shixian, seeing no other option, pointed at the altar. "Hei went in there, then your Senior Brother followed. After that, this fellow slapped..."

Understood!

Guang Xiaoyu kept her eyes fixed on the golden creature.

The latter had its eyes closed in contemplation and seemed indifferent to the two women.

"Purple Gold Divine Clan?" Guang Xiaoyu asked, stepping forward a few paces.

"Huh?" The golden creature slowly opened its eyes, its gaze still icy, but now with a hint of surprise. To think someone in this trash world actually knew about the Purple Gold Divine Clan.

It sneered contemptuously.

Guang Xiaoyu continued, "Merely a pseudo-Divine Clan whose bloodline began to decline one hundred thousand years ago. Later, Jin Wushuang created Secret Techniques. By hunting Ancient Ferocious Beasts and Spiritual Beasts to supplement their bloodline, they managed to continue their existence. Otherwise... the Purple Gold Divine Clan would have probably become a laughingstock long ago."

Jin Lun: "???"

His expression towards Guang Xiaoyu changed significantly.

She actually knew about Jin Wushuang? And that the Purple Gold Divine Clan hunted Spiritual Beasts to supplement their bloodline!

This girl...

Such secrets, even in the Spirit Realm, nobody knew!

"Wheel Sea, Xue Gong, horsetail whisk, Shock Dragon, Yi Shen..." Guang Xiaoyu then said, her voice very light.

Yet, when these five words were spoken, they weighed upon Jin Lun’s heart like Mount Tai. He was shocked, his pupils tightening as he stared at the girl before him.

These were the Secret Techniques created by Jin Wushuang—the treasures that had sustained the Purple Gold Divine Clan for one hundred thousand years!

Nobody in the Spirit Realm knew about them!

How did she know?

Who was she?

Jin Lun gradually felt a sense of oppression.

Guang Xiaoyu laughed lightly, continuing, "I also know about your Purple Gold Divine Clan’s Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, the Purple Dragon Divine Spear, but it was shattered into three pieces by a slap many years ago."

Jin Lun grew apprehensive.

Guang Xiaoyu continued, "The ancestral ground of the Purple Gold Divine Clan was a Primitive Swamp, where many Ancient Ferocious Beasts were raised... From them, you extracted bloodlines. Oh, right, then someone struck, releasing a multitude of Ancient Ferocious Beasts."

"You originally had three Spiritual Beasts..."

At this point, Chen Shixian, who was standing behind them, couldn’t help but interject, "Were they also slapped to death?"

Guang Xiaoyu turned around. "No, that person released two of them, leaving only one. At that time, it wasn’t within the Purple Gold Divine Clan’s territory, so it couldn’t be helped!"

"How do you know all this?" Chen Shixian asked in astonishment.

"I heard it from my elders!" Guang Xiaoyu then turned to look at Jin Lun. "The Secret Technique created by Jin Wushuang is inhumane and violates the Heavenly Dao. Over one hundred thousand years, the Purple Gold Divine Clan must have suffered its fair share of calamities, right?"

"You! Who exactly are you?!" Jin Lun exclaimed, terrified.

She could recount every single calamity the Purple Gold Divine Clan had faced over the past one hundred thousand years.

"You want to know?" Guang Xiaoyu said with a radiant smile.

Jin Lun stared intently at her, holding his breath.

"That... Divine Body, could you step outside for a moment?" Guang Xiaoyu asked, looking back again at Chen Shixian.

Chen Shixian was startled. Although puzzled, she still walked out.

"The woman who shattered your Purple Gold Divine Clan’s Heaven Tao Divine Weapon with a single slap and breached your Primitive Swamp is my Master!" Guang Xiaoyu chuckled mischievously.

Master or not, it was actually her.

But she couldn’t say that.

A Demon Emperor of the Divine King Realm wasn’t very persuasive.

On the contrary, a mysterious Demon Emperor might intimidate the Purple Gold Divine Clan.

Sure enough...

After these words were spoken, Jin Lun began to tremble. He remembered some of the past—no, to be precise, the shameful history of the Purple Gold Divine Clan.

The one who had shattered the Purple Dragon Divine Spear and breached the Primitive Swamp was indeed a woman.

Could it be that she hadn’t perished?

Was she in seclusion on the Heaven Martial Continent?

"Impossible!" Jin Lun suddenly raised his head. "You’re lying to me!"

After all, he was a powerful expert of the Purple Gold Divine Clan, with a firm Dao Heart and strong beliefs. He would not be so easily fooled by a mere girl with just a few words.

Hehe? Guang Xiaoyu clearly knew that a few words wouldn’t convince him of anything.

The next moment, she slightly activated the Nine Revolutions Demon God Skill. Within the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, the Primitive Demon God suddenly opened its eyes. A profundity and cold fierceness emanated from them, reflected for him to see.

Jin Lun’s pupils contracted sharply. For an instant, he saw that Demon God—like a god of slaughter from the depths of hell. That gaze was terrifying.

He found himself struggling to breathe.

A Demon cultivator!

The woman back then was also a Demon cultivator.

Guang Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on the altar. There was a depth in her eyes, as if she could see through the Spatial Barrier into another world.

The aura of the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

She silently chided herself. Senior Brother was right, these people do plan to invade the Heaven Martial Continent. It’s fortunate I discovered it early!

Once the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon awakens, the Spatial Barrier will inevitably shatter, and the passage between the two realms will reopen.

Then, countless powerful experts from the Spirit Realm will pour into this place.

Given the current combat strength of the Heaven Martial Continent, it simply cannot withstand them.

The three great imperial dynasties... very good! Guang Xiaoyu smiled, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in her heart. They even brought the Phoenix Cauldron... Hmm... It seems the Spatial Barrier is about to break. I must go and notify my Master!

With that thought, she turned and left without a backward glance.

Stepping out of the cave, Guang Xiaoyu slowed her pace, grabbed the confused Chen Shixian, and whispered, "Don’t go inside."

She couldn’t stop the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

The entire Heaven Martial Continent couldn’t stop it.

The only one who might be able to stop it was the ’Demon Emperor’ she had fabricated—which was, in fact, herself.

But it still depended on Jin Lun.

If he believes me, he will persuade the three great imperial dynasties to call off their invasion.

If he doesn’t believe me, this calamity will be a disaster for the entire Heaven Martial Continent.

Guang Xiaoyu sent a mental message to Lao Huang: "Open up the energy field. Don’t confine this area. Allow him to communicate with the Spirit Realm."

「On the altar!」

Jin Lun was struggling internally. Truthfully, he didn’t believe Guang Xiaoyu’s incredible words. Yet, she could recount with absolute precision everything about the Purple Gold Divine Clan, including the Demon Cultivation Skills she had revealed.

For one hundred thousand years, the Purple Gold Divine Clan has suppressed these calamities and related information, preventing the outside world from knowing anything—except for that woman.

What he struggled with was whether to believe her or not.

If I don’t believe her, and the Phoenix Cauldron breaks the Spatial Barrier, the invasion from the Spirit Realm will result in two outcomes. First, if there is no Demon Emperor, they will sweep through the Heaven Martial Continent. Second, if the Demon Emperor revives, she will slaughter the experts from the Spirit Realm with a flick of her finger.

If things escalate, she might charge directly into the Spirit Realm, embark on a killing spree, and reenact the catastrophe that befell our Purple Gold Divine Clan all those years ago.

If I believe her, I will have to thwart the revival of the Phoenix Cauldron, warn the Spirit Realm, and stop this invasion. But by doing so, I will remain trapped in this small cave.

Damn it!

Jin Lun’s expression turned pale as he clenched his fists tightly.
