Vol 7 Chapter 35: The One-Eyed King

The One-Eyed King, Mo Yuan.

Ranked ninth among the Nine Heavenly Demon Children, he was the last descendant of the Demon Lord to obtain the title of Demon Child.

His cultivation had reached the fourth heaven of the Immortal King realm.

As the opening time of the Creation Immortal King's ruins approached, Mo Yuan's descent here directly caused the surrounding cultivators to pale with shock, unable to comprehend why Mo Yuan had come.

Although the Creation Immortal King's ruins sounded extraordinary, in reality, they only counted as an opportunity for those below the Immortal King level.

Those capable of breaking through to Immortal King had all perfected their own paths.

Even if they obtained the legacy of other Immortal Kings, they would generally look down upon it.

It was even more impossible for them to abandon their own paths to cultivate someone else's path.

Only those Immortal Lords whose own paths were not yet fully formed would choose to attempt becoming an Immortal King's successor, thus taking the shortcut to the Immortal King path.

Therefore, the arrival of the One-Eyed King Mo Yuan seemed completely unreasonable in everyone's eyes.

Had he come to plunder the personal fortune of other prodigies?

This also seemed unlikely.

Throughout the entire Immortal Realm, among the various Heavenly Emperor lineages, there were indeed prodigies at the Immortal King realm with heaven-defying personal fortune. If the Demon Lord could have nine outstanding descendants at the Immortal King realm, other Heavenly Emperors naturally also had outstanding disciples and descendants at the Immortal King level.

Even if the One-Eyed King lowered his status to come bully these Immortal Lords and True Immortals from ordinary forces...

To put it bluntly, the personal fortune energy they possessed compared to someone like Mo Yuan at the Immortal Lord level was like the difference between fireflies and the bright moon. Under normal circumstances, it couldn't possibly catch his eye.

So what exactly... had he come here for?

"Don't be afraid."

Within the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range, seeing this demon king arrive, Wu Lingxi instinctively felt fear, her entire body trembling slightly as she was frightened by the other party's pressure. At this moment, a hand rested on her shoulder, and its owner transmitted a comforting voice.

"Master..."

Seeing her master appear, Wu Lingxi managed to calm down somewhat, but like most people, her attention remained completely focused on the One-Eyed King, nervously watching his next move.

"The ninth of the Nine Heavenly Demon Children, Mo Yuan."

The Sword Immortal King from Sword Spirit Valley and the Immortal King from another force, Evergreen Immortal Sect, directly manifested themselves, their gazes uniformly locking onto Mo Yuan.

However, this Mo Yuan seemed to completely disregard these two Immortal Kings, merely quietly gazing toward the direction of the Creation Immortal King's ruins.

After a moment, he casually produced a talisman, and immediately, the ruins that should have taken several more months to open actually revealed a passage!

Ignoring the stunned gazes around him, he slowly entered the ruins, simultaneously speaking: "If you don't want to die, then get lost."

After speaking, he disappeared before everyone's eyes. This scene completely shocked the two path-protecting Immortal Kings, who exclaimed that it was impossible.

"He, he entered the Creation Immortal King's ruins?!"

"Impossible! The Creation Immortal King's legacy ruins are stipulated to open once every ten years. How could he enter early? Moreover, they've always only allowed cultivators below the Immortal King realm to enter... How did he get in!"

"It might be possible. The Demonic Race possesses a Heavenly Emperor. Although the Creation Immortal King was infinitely close to the Heavenly Emperor level, he ultimately wasn't one. The Heavenly Emperor might be able to crack the ruins he created. Besides, it's said the Demon Lord possesses the Heavenly Dao's Supreme Treasure, which can even affect the lower realms, let alone an Immortal King's ruins."

"However, I still can't understand. If this Mo Yuan were an Immortal Lord, it would make sense for him to come seize this legacy. But he's already an Immortal Lord—could he possibly covet the Creation Immortal King's legacy? With the Demonic Race's methods, they don't need to go to such trouble. They could simply find someone with the Creation Immortal Physique and perform soul usurpation..."

"This cultivation world isn't without Heavenly Emperor ruins either. The Immortal Lord prodigies from other Heavenly Emperor lineages all go try their luck at Heavenly Emperor ruins. Yet he comes here instead—it's incomprehensable."

The external cultivators discussed animatedly, but felt fortunate in their hearts that Mo Yuan hadn't come for them. Otherwise, even with two Immortal Lords stationed here, these Immortal Kings would definitely prioritize protecting their disciples and descendants' safety, absolutely not caring about their lives.

"Quick, send messages! Quickly send messages to the various Heavenly Emperor lineages!" After reacting, individual cultivators hurriedly said.

Wu Lingxi's gaze also turned to Lin Jing, asking: "Master, what should we do now? Do we still enter the Creation Immortal King's ruins?"

Lin Jing also fell into deep thought, unable to understand the intentions of the ninth Heavenly Demon Child Mo Yuan...

"We're not going." Lin Jing slowly spoke: "It's too dangerous. There are plenty of Immortal Lord ruins around—no need to stubbornly cling to this one. We still have a backup."

"Backup?"

"Alternative option."

"Exactly. Moreover, these Creation Immortal King ruins have existed for so many years. Countless generations of prodigies have entered, yet no one has been able to complete them. From the beginning, we were just coming to try our luck. Now that the risks have increased dramatically, it's better not to try."

After speaking, he prepared to leave with Wu Lingxi, distancing themselves from this troubled place.

Most people made the same choice as Lin Jing.

With an unpredictable demon lord inside the ruins, entering now would mean not knowing how they died.

"Contact the Extreme Path Sect..." Although this place wasn't within a Heavenly Emperor lineage's territory, it was closest to the Extreme Path Sect. Contacting them should allow them to quickly dispatch a Supreme Immortal King to investigate what conspiracy this Mo Yuan had.

People scattered in all directions. Seeing that his fellow countrymen, the Ten Thousand Spirits Taoist Nun and the Meteor Spirit Beast, were also leaving, Lin Jing couldn't help but walk faster and faster.

However, not long after Lin Jing left with Wu Lingxi, a mechanized turtle appeared atop a certain mountain rock, staring intently at the ruins.

"Mechanized Turtle, go in and take a look at what that guy is doing. You shouldn't be discovered, right?"

Lin Jing remotely gave orders to the Mechanized Turtle.

"That guy actually managed to break in too." The Mechanized Turtle muttered to itself, then said: "Master, rest assured. If this were before, I wouldn't have much confidence, but now I have complete certainty."

Although the Mechanized Turtle was only at the Ninth Heaven Immortal Lord level, because of the divine consciousness enhancement from the Heavenly Emperor's Seven Dominions, its divine consciousness power could overwhelm the vast majority of Immortal Kings, allowing it to block the other party's divine consciousness and conceal itself.

If that were all, it still wouldn't count as complete certainty. But now, besides extreme divine consciousness, it had also modified itself with technological means, possessing dual safeguards. The Mechanized Turtle had great confidence in its current technological body. If this were before, wanting to enter these Immortal King ruins without following the rules would have been extremely difficult. But now, relying on immortal consciousness combined with technological analysis, it quickly found a method to enter early.

Of course, the main reason was that the Mechanized Turtle possessed the confidence to escape even if exposed, because its exceptionally powerful divine consciousness allowed it to directly enter the most dangerous and chaotic routes through spatial turbulence to flee. On one hand, it could rely on its powerful divine consciousness to avoid dangers;

on the other hand, it could use its divine consciousness to interfere with the other party's targeting. Even enemies faster than it couldn't necessarily catch it. Besides, throughout its wandering turtle life, its spatial path had never been inferior to anyone's.

"Leave it to me." It directly secretly broke into the ruins.
