Chapter 329 Demon King Xuanwu
Jiang Changle and He Jing brought Chu Weifeng to the palace at the bottom of the sea. Well, it was a very simple palace.
In the center of the hall, a giant sea turtle was lying there quietly, its body tightly bound by black chains, its eyes closed, and it seemed to be in a deep sleep.
"That's... Xuanwu!" Chu Weifeng widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Jiang Changle took a deep breath and whispered, "It seems we have found the right place. However, Xuanwu has been completely corroded by the evil spirit. We must find a way to wake it up."
He Jing nodded, "These chains are the embodiment of demonic energy. We must cut them off first."
The three of them exchanged a glance, then each unleashed their spiritual power to attack the chains. However, just as their attacks were about to hit the chains, Xuanwu's eyes suddenly opened.
Those were a pair of scarlet eyes, full of violence and madness.
Xuanwu let out a low roar and struggled violently, causing the chains to make a harsh friction sound.
"Oh no! It's controlled by evil spirit!" Jiang Changle shouted and retreated quickly.
He Jing clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is no other way. We can only subdue it first and then find a way to purify the evil spirit!"
Chu Weifeng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Let's fight!"
The three of them quickly deployed their formation and launched an attack on Xuanwu who was controlled by evil spirit.
However, Xuanwu's power was far beyond their imagination. Every attack was easily blocked by it, which put them in danger.
Just when the three of them were about to collapse, Jiang Changle suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Use the Fire Qilin's spiritual power! Fire overcomes demons, maybe we can suppress it!"
Before setting off, the Fire Kirin and the Dragon gave them some magic weapons, as well as physical evidence of their recognition with other mythical beasts.
Upon hearing this, He Jing quickly took out a fiery red crystal from his arms. It was the crystal of spiritual power they had obtained from the Fire Kirin before.
He crushed the crystal without hesitation, and a blazing flame instantly erupted, sweeping straight towards Xuanwu.
The flames collided with the demonic energy, making a sharp hissing sound.
Xuanwu's body trembled violently, and his scarlet eyes gradually regained clarity. The chains began to break under the burning flames, and eventually dissipated completely.
Xuanwu let out a low sigh, slowly raised his head, looked at the three people, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Thank you...young people." Xuanwu's voice was low and gentle, as if it came from ancient times.
Jiang Changle breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Senior Xuanwu, you've finally woken up. We've found the source of the demonic energy. What should we do next?"
Xuanwu slowly stood up, his body emitting a faint light. "The source of the evil energy is deep in this space. I will lead you there. However, the road ahead will be even more dangerous. Are you ready?"
The three of them looked at each other and answered in unison: "Ready!"
But I didn’t expect that after Xuanwu regained consciousness, he actually possessed spiritual power directly. Isn’t he different from Huo Qilin and Shenlong?
Xuanwu nodded, then turned and walked towards the depths of the space. The three followed closely behind him, their hearts full of determination.
They know that the real challenge has just begun.
The three followed Xuanwu and stepped into the depths of the space. The surrounding scene gradually became dim, and the air was filled with thick demonic energy, as if even breathing became heavy.
The ground beneath their feet began to become bumpy and uneven, and occasionally they could hear low growls coming from afar, as if something was secretly watching them.
"The demonic energy here is more intense than before." Chu Weifeng whispered, gripping the weapon in his hand tighter.
Jiang Changle nodded and glanced around vigilantly, "Be careful. The thicker the demonic energy, the closer we are to the source, and the greater the danger."
He Jing didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with a solemn expression. He could sense that there was a powerful presence hidden within the demonic energy ahead, and that oppressive feeling made him quicken his pace.
Xuanwu's steps remained steady, as if he didn't care about the evil spirit around him.
Its body emitted a faint light, forming a thin light shield that enveloped the three people and isolated them from the erosion of external demonic energy.
"Follow me closely and don't leave the range of the light shield." Xuanwu's voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.
The three of them nodded. Except for Jiang Changle, the other two seemed to have insufficient spiritual power, so they could only follow Xuanwu closely.
As they went deeper, the demonic energy around them gradually condensed into substance, transforming into black mists that swirled and coiled in the air as if they had life.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the darkness ahead, and then a huge monster rushed out from the fog and rushed towards the three people!
"Be careful!" He Jing shouted and quickly swung his sword to meet the attack.
Chu Weifeng and Jiang Changle also reacted immediately, each using their spiritual power to engage in a fierce battle with the monster.
Xuanwu did not take action, but stood quietly aside, gazing deeply into the darkness ahead, as if waiting for something.
The monster was extremely powerful, and although the three's attacks were fierce, they could not completely defeat it immediately. Just when the battle reached a stalemate, Xuanwu finally moved.
It slowly raised its front paw and swung it gently. A dazzling light burst out instantly, hitting the core of the monster.
The monster let out a shrill scream, and its body quickly disintegrated in the light, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
"This is just the beginning." Xuanwu whispered, "The source of the demonic energy is just ahead. There are even more powerful beings there."
The three of them panted heavily and looked at each other, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes. They knew that the next battle would be even more difficult, but they had no way out.
"Let's go." Jiang Changle took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the weapon.
Xuanwu nodded and continued to lead them forward. As they went deeper, the demonic energy around them grew thicker and thicker, as if it was about to devour them completely.
However, Xuanwu's light shield always protected them steadily, keeping them from being eroded by evil spirits.
Finally, they reached the end of the space. There, a massive black altar stood in the center, a pitch-black crystal suspended above it, emitting a terrifying demonic aura.
"That is the source of the evil spirit." Xuanwu's voice was solemn. "As long as we destroy it, the evil spirit will dissipate."
The three nodded and were about to move forward when suddenly, the black fog surrounding the altar condensed into several huge monsters, blocking their way.
"It seems that we have to get rid of these guys first." Chu Weifeng sneered and tightened the weapon in his hand.
"Let's go together!" He Jing shouted softly and rushed forward first.
The battle broke out again, and the three of them engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.
Xuanwu stood quietly by, his eyes fixed on the black crystal. He knew that the real challenge was still ahead.
Just as the three were fighting fiercely with the monster, the black crystal on the altar suddenly burst out with a powerful demonic energy, rushing straight into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the crystal. It was a figure shrouded in darkness, emitting a suffocating pressure.
"It's finally here..." Xuanwu murmured in a low voice, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The shadow slowly opened its eyes, its gaze cold and cruel. It looked towards Xuanwu, a sneer curling up at the corner of its mouth.
"Xuanwu, I didn't expect you to wake up." The black shadow's voice was hoarse and low, with a chilling pressure.
"Demon King, your conspiracy ends here." Xuanwu's voice was still calm, but it contained endless majesty.
"Hahaha..." The Demon Lord laughed wildly, "You guys really think you can stop me?"
Xuanwu did not answer, but slowly raised his front paws, and a dazzling light burst out again, hitting the Demon Lord directly.
The Demon Lord snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a black barrier appeared in front of him, easily dissolving Xuanwu's attack.
"Your struggle is in vain." The Demon Lord said coldly, then raised his hand and waved it. A powerful demonic energy swept over in an instant, heading straight for the three people.
"Be careful!" Jiang Changle shouted, and the three of them retreated quickly, but they were still shocked by the aftermath of the demonic energy and their blood was boiling.
Upon seeing this, Xuanwu's body suddenly expanded and turned into a huge curtain of light, protecting the three people behind it. It looked at the Demon Lord, and a hint of determination flashed in its eyes.
"Young men, next, I will do my best to restrain the Demon Lord. You must seize the opportunity to destroy the black crystal." Xuanwu's voice sounded in the minds of the three.
The three of them looked at each other and answered in unison: "Understood!"
Xuanwu nodded, then suddenly rushed towards the Demon Lord. The two powerful forces collided violently in the air, bursting into dazzling light.
The three took the opportunity to bypass the battlefield and quickly rushed towards the altar.
However, just as they were about to approach the black crystal, the Demon Lord suddenly realized their intention, roared, and waved his hand, and a black energy wave hit the three of them.
"Get out of the way!" He Jing shouted, and the three of them quickly dispersed, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"There's no time left, the crystal must be destroyed as soon as possible!" Jiang Changle said gritting his teeth, and then rushed towards the altar desperately.
Chu Weifeng and He Jing followed closely behind. The three of them tried their best and finally rushed to the black crystal.
"Attack together!" He Jing shouted, and the three of them launched their strongest attacks at the same time, directly hitting the black crystal.
Under the powerful attack, cracks began to appear on the surface of the black crystal, and then it made a crisp shattering sound and completely disintegrated.
As the crystal shattered, the surrounding demonic energy began to dissipate rapidly, and the Demon Lord's power also weakened. Xuanwu seized the opportunity and struck hard, repelling the Demon Lord.
"No! This is impossible!" The Demon Lord let out an unwilling roar, his body gradually disintegrated in the light, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
The demonic energy around him completely dissipated, and the space returned to calm. Xuanwu slowly landed on the ground, and the light of his body gradually dimmed.
"We... succeeded?" Chu Weifeng looked around in disbelief.
They actually fought with the devil. This was the first time they experienced such pressure. It was really thrilling and exciting. Until now, Chu Weifeng still couldn't believe what the three of them had done.
Jiang Changle let out a long sigh and nodded, "That should be it? Senior Xuanwu, isn't the Demon King sealed in the depths of the desert? Why is he also in the deep sea?"
How many demon kings are there? It's endless, right? For a moment, Jiang Changle felt only darkness before his eyes.
Xuanwu was a very young and handsome man. He slowly raised his head, a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but he still had a gentle smile on his face.
"It seems you found Shenlong, but she asked you to come? Is Shenlong okay?"
Xuanwu hadn't expected that the Beast World would produce such an outstanding talent as Jiang Changle. The girl was less than twenty years old, right? But her strength was comparable to that of an immortal.
Otherwise, the three of them would never have been able to overcome numerous difficulties and reach the bottom of the sea and find him.
Jiang Changle nodded and found a place to sit down. She was tired.
“You can say that, but I found the Fire Qilin first. He told me the secret of the Beast World Dimension and told me to go to the north to find the Dragon God first.
Actually, this time, an earthquake struck the coastal area, so we rushed here to provide disaster relief. Later, we heard that a mutation had occurred in the East China Sea, so we came here to investigate.”
Jiang Changle didn't expect that she would find Xuanwu so quickly. It could be said that this was an unexpected surprise, if Xuanwu's condition was as good as he seemed.
"I see. It seems those two won't die for now. In fact, the earthquakes along the coast are all related to the Demon King.
You have seen the demon king just now. It is very easy to defeat him because that was not his real body but a clone.
Some powerful beings can reshape their clones to facilitate their actions. For example, this clone of the Demon King absorbs the magic power of the Red Moon, making him more powerful and eventually benefiting the original body.
When I discovered it, the Demon King had already become very powerful. I was supporting the formation in the Beast World Space while distracting myself from fighting the Demon King.
But the spiritual power in the space is too scarce, and the Demon King can absorb the power of the red moon, so he is naturally stronger than me.
I gradually fell into a weak position, allowing the Demon King to take advantage of the situation and spread the demonic energy, causing unrest in the East China Sea.
If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. My three friends, please accept Xuanwu's bow."
After Xuanwu finished explaining, he bowed and thanked Jiang Changle and the other two.
Jiang Changle quickly dodged, "Master Divine Beast, there's no need to do this. We are all trying to survive in the Beast World. This is all for our own benefit."
If she hadn't had to, Jiang Changle would really just want to use the spiritual spring in the space to farm some land, have children, a husband and a warm bed, and live a perfectly happy life.
Xuanwu knew that Jiang Changle was just being modest. There were tens of thousands of orcs in the Beast World, so why was she the only one who could find a few of their divine beasts?
Firstly, it is fate and destiny, and secondly, it is strength.
"Since we are talking about interests, I must repay you." Xuanwu saw that Jiang Changle had used the fire crystal to deal with him when he was possessed by the devil. It was obviously the treasure of the Fire Qilin.
The other divine beasts had already given him benefits, so he couldn't be stingy, right? So he took out three space rings and handed one to each of them, "It's a small token of my appreciation. I'm giving it to you."
Chu Weifeng and He Jing both looked at Jiang Changle instead of reaching out to take it.
"Thank you." Jiang Changle was much more straightforward. They had experienced life and death as a couple, so what was wrong with getting paid?
Besides, the things given by the divine beast, hehe, can they be bad?
"Master Divine Beast, the source of the devil has been eliminated, but how can we purify the polluted sea and creatures and restore them to their original state?"
