Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 721 - Origin of Evil Realm
Su Yie, taking advantage of the effect of Emperor Su's Divine Outfit, began to survey the surrounding situation.
Xia Tianyi rested and tended to his injuries. After a while, he got up and left.
Thunder and Lightning intertwined between heaven and earth, like dragons and snakes rampaging, with destructive power extremely strong. According to Su Yie's estimation, even a typical Heavenly Dao Saint could easily be struck and severely wounded.
He wanted to tear apart the space here with the Space Rule, but he was unable to do so.
After wandering for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Su Yie discovered that this world was boundless; even with the Cultivation of a Supreme Great Emperor of Infinity like him, it was difficult to fly to its end.
Su Yie teleported back to Xia Tianyi's side and said, "Shall we leave?"
If they stayed any longer, he feared that Xia Tianyi might encounter something unpredictable.
Xia Tianyi stared at the thunderous sky and said, "I always feel like something is watching us."
Su Yie looked up. His Myriad Life Prescient Eye activated, trying to penetrate the thunder clouds and see everything above them.
The next second, his expression slightly changed.
He saw that above the thunder clouds hung countless mummified corpses of all kinds – humans, demons, fiends, barbaric beasts, and more – innumerable, all with shriveled skin like kindling.
Su Yie frowned. Could these mummies, like them, have been drawn into this place by The Gate of the Great Dao?
He immediately explained the situation to Xia Tianyi.
At the same time, he was secretly surprised.
His cultivation was higher than Xia Tianyi's, yet Xia Tianyi was able to notice the anomaly above the thunder clouds first; it seemed this guy had some special talent.
"I'm afraid these mummies are not simple."
Xia Tianyi pondered. He had spent tens of thousands of years in the Origin Plane, his experiences far surpassing his past.
While Su Yie engaged in the holy genius chess game, time in the Origin Plane was rapidly passing, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but always faster than in Hongmeng.
He raised his right index finger and said, "Prepare to teleport."
Xia Tian, startled, his face instantly changed.
He immediately understood what Su Yie intended to do.
"Wait..."
Whoosh—
The Nine Heavens Fate-Breaking Finger shot out, a single strike shattered the thunder clouds, turning dozens of mummies above into ashes.
As the thunder cloud broke, the mummies seemed to lose their support and all fell down, crashing through the clouds like a torrential downpour.
Su Yie and Xia Tianyi quickly dodged.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
One after another, the mummies crashed into the ground, creating a spectacular scene.
Su Yie and Xia Tianyi remained alert, ready to fight at any moment.
Soon, countless mummies had all fallen to the ground, but nothing hair-raising happened.
Su Yie looked up again, his expression changing slightly.
Above the thunder clouds, in the darkness, was a face, pale with lifeless eyes, no pupils, utterly hollow, looking down at Su Yie and Xia Tianyi.
"Be careful!"
Su Yie said solemnly, feeling a tingling on his scalp.
Because he had seen this face before!
In the perils experienced by Emperor Su in his previous life, this face was the most terrifying presence.
Known as Shi Er!
As powerful as Emperor Su was in his previous life, he was powerless before it.
He had not expected to encounter Shi Er at The Gate of the Great Dao.
Xia Tianyi, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?"
He looked in the direction of Su Yie's gaze but saw nothing of Shi Er.
Su Yie frowned and asked, "You can't see that face?"
Xia Tianyi shook his head and said, "You haven't been hexed, have you? Or is it that my cultivation is not enough?"
Reason told him that the latter was probably the cause.
Su Yie had no great fear of Shi Er; after all, he had attempted to fight against Shi Er several times, although he had been defeated each time.
Besides, he was still in the state of wearing Emperor Su's Divine Armor, what was there to fear?
If things got really bad, he could teleport away!
Of course, the biggest reason was that he felt something was off about Shi Er.
Why did it seem like an afterimage?
Motionless.
"Do you wish to grow stronger?"
Just at that moment, a chilling, sinister voice descended from the heavens.
Xia Tianyi instantly felt goosebumps, having never experienced such a horrifying feeling before.
Merely facing this voice, he felt an unstoppable force.
Su Yie was taken aback, then recalled.
Shi Er did not recognize him, only the Su Emperor from a past life.
But after all, since Shi Er had fought with Emperor Su, could he recognize him?
He remained alert and did not answer Shi Er.
Xia Tianyi did the same, he hadn't even seen what Shi Er looked like and naturally dared not to answer rashly.
"Do you wish to rise above all else?"
"Become a soldier under me, and I can make you immensely powerful."
Shi Er stared at Su Yie, continuing to speak.
Those eyes remained devoid of any emotion throughout.
Su Yie spoke, asking, "Who are you? And where is this place?"
"I am known as Shi Er, the aggregation of all evil thoughts. This is the Origin of Evil Realm, it is your honor to be able to enter here. I see potential in your talents."
"Do you see those corpses? They're the ones without talent, who died here."
Shi Er's words swept through the area like a cold wind, making Xia Tianyi even more tense.
The aggregation of all evil thoughts?
Xia Tianyi immediately thought of many things, and thus telepathically said to Su Yie, "Shall we teleport?"
Dealing with such a cryptic and unfathomable existence, the risk definitely outweighs the opportunity.
"You go first, let me meet with him."
Su Yie replied telepathically. He still remembered his goal, to collect the thirty-six gates of the Great Dao and cleanse his space-time causality.
Now that he had finally encountered a gate of the Great Dao, he didn't want to miss it.
Especially after having a son, he became even more eager to resolve his space-time causality.
If the gate of the Great Dao was connected to the Origin of Evil Realm, he would sooner or later meet with Shi Er; there was no escaping it.
Xia Tianyi frowned. If Su Yie wasn't leaving, he naturally could not leave on his own.
Just at that moment, Shi Er appeared before them, allowing Xia Tianyi to see him as well.
Clothed in black robes, adorned with various strange blood patterns that seemed lifelike, oozing an aura that penetrated deep into the soul.
Xia Tianyi was frightened and instinctively took a step back.
But it was just a step.
Su Yie asked, "If we refuse, will we end up like them?"
While speaking, he pointed towards the dry corpses around them.
Shi Er replied, "Correct."
"To become evil soldiers, what do we need to give up?"
Su Yie continued to inquire, always feeling that there was something off about the Shi Er before him.
In the crises of Emperor Su, Shi Er appeared utterly mad and uncontrollable.
But this Shi Er seemed quite mild? Even though he coerced them, he still gave Su Yie and Xia Tianyi a choice.
As Su Yie pondered in confusion, Shi Er answered, "You only need to obey my orders; without my command, you cannot leave the Origin of Evil Realm."
That simple?
Su Yie instinctively looked at the chat within Emperor Su's Sect, noticing that the chat speed had become exceedingly slow.
Which means the time in the Origin of Evil Realm passes much slower than in Emperor Su's Sect.
Moreover.
After Shi Er appeared, the unease in Su Yie's heart had disappeared.
Could it be that Shi Er harbored no ill will towards them?
"What are your names?" Shi Er continued to inquire.
"My name is Xia Tian, and he is Su Long. We come from the Imperial Court of the Origin Plane," Xia Tianyi preempted, speaking before Su Yie.
Su Yie's face was expressionless, but inside, he marveled at how much Xia Tianyi had changed.
