Central Empire.
The saint of Dali fought alone against the two saints of demons and monsters, but he did not fall behind at all, which shocked the entire continent. Now the battle between the Dali Sage and the Demon Sage is over and they have returned to the Central Empire. He did not return to Dali because the Central Empire had other important matters.
The emperor personally welcomed him and wished the saint a triumphant return.
After all the simple ceremonies required by the Dali sage, the emperor dismissed the others and talked with the Dali sage.
"I wonder why the saint didn't tell Emperor Li about Xu Kai earlier?"
The saint said calmly: "I forgot."
The emperor was helpless. He knew that "forgetting" was probably just an excuse, and in fact there was probably some hidden secret.
Speaking of this, the saint asked: "I wonder if the emperor knows how the two demon clans locked Xu Kai?"
Dali's traitor may have betrayed Xu Kai's name and place of origin, but later used some means to erase all traces of him. In this case, even if the two demon clans learned Xu Kai's information, they would not be able to target him. specific location.
However, Xu Kai was still found.
The Emperor was silent, hesitating whether he should speak out.
The saint was speechless, because he knew that the position of emperor must be held by someone who wholeheartedly serves the human race. As long as the matter is harmful to the human race, the emperor will eventually speak out.
After a long while, the emperor finally sighed and said: "Does the sage know "Qinyuanchun" written by Xu Kai?"
"This is a good poem, magnificent, and can be called the best in ancient and modern times."
"Which one of them does the saint think is the best?"
The saint pondered for a while and said: "In my opinion, 'Asking the vast earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs' should be the most majestic and majestic, and the lofty aspirations are fully revealed."
The emperor smiled bitterly: "Indeed, we all think this sentence is the best."
The sage keenly captured the key: "You said 'I'll wait'?"
The emperor nodded: "Yes, I and the Holy Emperor of the Ten Directions Empire think so."
The saint's expression changed: "Are you saying..."
"The saint is not a saint emperor, nor an emperor, so he does not feel Qinyuanchun as strongly as we do. When Qinyuanchun was created, we all felt the trembling and fear of the Holy See. I think maybe the demon The reason why the emperor took action was because he felt what we felt."
"In the past, many people wrote poems that made the Holy See tremble. Didn't Wei Taizu also write such poems?"
Wei Taizu was referring to Cao Cao in Tianyan Continent, not the current Wei Dynasty in the Ten Directions Empire.
The emperor shook his head: "That's not the case. The two cannot be compared. The poems written by Wei Taizu are just about the change of throne at most, but this Qinyuanchun has the meaning of burying all emperors. Although it is not obvious, it is still It makes some Holy Emperors feel threatened."
"I'm afraid some people think that allowing the author of "Qinyuanchun" to grow up may threaten not only the position of the Holy Emperor, but even the institution of the Holy Emperor may no longer exist..."
"Nonsense!" The saint was furious and smashed the table into pieces. The sky suddenly thundered and lightning flashed, and dark clouds covered almost the entire Central Empire.
When the saint is angry, the color of heaven and earth changes.
"Even if what they say is true, Xu Kai has a great talent. If he can become a saint, our human race will be able to pacify the entire Tianyan Continent. By then, what will happen if the Holy Emperor system does not exist?!"
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
The emperor shook his head: "Can't be sure."
The Sage did not doubt the Emperor. Because if you want to become the emperor of the Central Empire, you must have a heart that is dedicated to the human race. Otherwise, you will be crushed by the power of the national destiny of the human race.
The saint thought to himself. Dali Holy Emperor? Not too possible. The Dali Dynasty was personally sealed under the "Zi Buyu" order by himself, and even a semi-saint could not break through his blockade.
Daqi who has a bad relationship? The bordering Daliang and Dajin?
The saint thought about several possibilities in succession, but there was no accurate evidence for any of them.
The emperor asked: "Saint, why do you value that Xu Kai so much? He is just rated as a semi-saint. If Xu Kai can become a semi-saint in the future, it will be a great help to our human race, but now our human race If you just lose a future semi-saint, it won't hurt your muscles and bones. Why do you think he can become a saint?"
The strength of the human race is not what it used to be. The human race has more half-saints than the two demon clans combined. If it were not for the worry of evil things raging and the disaster that would break out at some unknown time, the human race would have started a war of genocide.
"I saw in him a new possibility."
"possibility?"
"Just like the sage master pioneered the way of culture, and just like the first emperor created the way of national destiny, I see new possibilities for my human race from him."
…
…
Xu Kai climbs a mountain.
After advancing about a hundred meters, he was teleported to a ring as Mo Yan said.
There was a demon man standing on the ring.
He opened his eyes and said with some surprise: "Are you the human genius who was sent in?"
Xu Kai deliberately wanted to get more information: "Exactly. I wonder if you know why my human race entered this place and died without any life?"
The demon man shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe only my demon clan, Half Saint or above, can know about this matter."
After that, he put on a posture: "Please enlighten me. Let me see the world of the human race..."
Xu Kai rushed over at a speed that the opponent couldn't even see, and punched his upper body into pieces.
His physique is already comparable to that of a scholar, and after being strengthened by the Blood-Grancing Bone Grass, it is no less than a demon in the Spirit Refining Realm. How can these demons, who generally only have a clear mind, be able to block his punch?
Xu Kai swept through all the demons. After a simple exchange, he found that the opponent did not have the information he wanted, and then smashed the opponent to pieces with one punch, thus connecting to the fifth and sixth floors.
Until the seventh floor, Xu Kai finally stopped.
The other party is full of demonic aura and has strange tattoos on his body. You can tell that he is something extraordinary at a glance. He was sitting on the ring, closing his eyes and concentrating, but he seemed to have arrived earlier than Xu Kai.
You must know that this ring does not start with the next level after each level is finished, but immediately goes to the next level after finishing fighting, until another person has finished fighting and enters the ring. Although this method has many loopholes, it is extremely fast. I heard from Mo Yan that this second trial is based on the speed of climbing to the top.
Xu Kai frowned, and the demon also felt Xu Kai's excitement. He opened his eyes, stood up, and asked: "Are you the human genius?"
"Exactly down there."
"Very good. I am not qualified to ask my clan to open a secret realm of demon refining for me, but I am able to enter this time thanks to your blessing. Let me see where the difference between you and me is."
After all, he actually attacked first!
Xu Kai ducked sideways, and at the same time swept out a whip kick, hitting the opponent, but it just kicked him away.
Xu Kai frowned, this demon was indeed different from the previous demons. If other demons were hit by his own leg, their upper body would probably have been shattered, while the opponent would just be kicked away.
The demon sank down and crossed his hands on his chest, his arms bloody and bloody. He let out a sigh of relief. He had defeated a fellow member of the Spirit Refining Realm, but he suffered a huge loss in the first fight in front of a mere child. This made him a little irritated.
"Your tattoos are a bit strange. Are you the legitimate son of a half-saint?" Xu Kai narrowed his eyes slightly.
The demon didn't answer, but the tattoos all over his body began to glow, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered in large quantities.
Xu Kai's eyes flashed, but he didn't know if this was the demon's natural secret technique or a divinely gifted technique?
"Human race, take this from me—poof!"
A hand knife pierced through the heart.
Xu Kai took out the hand that had penetrated into the demon's heart and frowned even deeper.
"I don't understand why you have to use such a long skill in front of me."
The demon's eyes were straight, his body was filled with demonic aura, and he was about to self-destruct!
Seeing this, Xu Kai once again chopped off the opponent's head with a hand knife, and carried the head into the circle of light. This is the aperture that will appear after defeating the opponent in the ring. Entering it can advance to the next level.
Light flashed and Xu Kai went up to another level.
…
…
Xu Kai, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, quietly waited for the arrival of the rest of those who passed the trial.
Suddenly a magic light flashed, and the person who came turned out to be an unexpected person from Xu Kai.
"Moyan?"
This was extremely surprising to him.
Mo Yan behaved so humbly on the road that Xu Kai almost ignored her. Now that I think about it, this journey was indeed extremely strange.
Mo Yan was stunned when he saw Xu Kai, and then he cried and prostrated: "Sir, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Xu Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether to kill all the demons that were about to appear next.
As if aware of Xu Kai's thoughts, Mo Yan began to kowtow again: "No, sir, if you want to conduct the final trial of this secret realm, sixteen summit climbers need to gather together to start the final trial. !”
"I'm a human race and I can't get out. Why don't I kill you all here, which can be regarded as a contribution to my human race."
Mo Yan trembled all over and kowtowed louder, but his heart was filled with turmoil, because the head held in Xu Kai's hand was said to be the legitimate son of a semi-saint!
The demons with such powerful bloodline died miserably at his hands, and I'm afraid he can't be any stronger.
"I don't know how we provoked Your Excellency, so that Your Excellency actually wanted to kill us all."
But they saw red light flashing on the top of the mountain, and in addition to Xu Kai and Mo Yan, thirteen demons appeared together.
When the thirteen demons heard Xu Kai's words, they were not annoyed at all, but spoke politely.
Xu Kai narrowed his eyes slightly. There should be sixteen people on the summit. Now, including him and Mo Yan, there were fifteen people on site. Where was the other person?
"It doesn't matter, you will all die here anyway."
The thirteen demon clan's expressions darkened upon hearing this, and one of the leaders said: "We treat you politely, but you disrespect us so much. Then I have to ask you how powerful the current geniuses of the human race are."
"Go together!"
…
…
"I have always felt that being reckless is not a good thing. But you demons don't seem to have learned your lesson."
Xu Kai grabbed the last demon by the neck and lifted him up.
Scattered all over the place were various body parts and blood of other demons. The whole place is blue, but there is no trace of bright red.
"Gu... Gu... Wu..." The demon was choked and speechless. Only the protruding veins on his forehead and his eyes revealed his anger and a hint of fear.
Xu Kai twisted off the head of the last demon, and then threw the body aside, mixed with the demon corpses scattered around. He placed the last head on Mo Yan's head, which already had thirteen heads on Mo Yan's head.
Mo Yan knelt on the ground, shivering, but tried his best to control his body, not daring to let the head stacked on his head fall down, and instead worked hard to maintain balance.
"To be honest, I don't have any real feelings about taking the lives of demons... Maybe this is related to the fact that you demons are cold-blooded animals."
Xu Kai's whole body was soaked by the blue blood, but he did not feel the temperature of the demon's blood, only an almost bone-chilling chill. When killing these beings that looked similar to human beings, Xu Kai did not feel the actual feeling of deprivation of life, but it was closer to the feeling of killing chickens.
Xu Kai squatted down, but still in a condescending manner, and asked Mo Yan: "Tell me, what else are you hiding from me."
Mo Yan kowtowed again, no longer caring about the demon's heads scattered on the ground, and the banging sound echoed on the top of the mountain, but this time she didn't say a word.
At this time, the red light flashed again, and Xu Kai turned around to see Huang Tu, who was covered in dragon skin and covered in bruises.
As soon as Huang Tu reached the top of the mountain, he lay directly on the ground. The first one or two levels were okay, but after that he faced real demon elites. If it weren't for the dragon skin protecting his body, he would have died long ago.
Even so, in the last level, he also relied on the power of the dragon skin to trade injuries with the opponent until the opponent was exhausted before launching a decisive attack.
Just when Huangtu reached the top, the sky flashed with red light, sixteen beams of light fell from the sky, and sixteen great herbs fell accurately into the hands of sixteen people.
Including the hands of the demons that were chopped off by Xu Kai.
Xu Kai picked up the unclaimed medicines and asked Huang Tu what medicine they were. Huang Tu shook his head, not recognizing him. It can only be seen from its surging breath that these are rare medicines, much more precious than the blood-producing bone-grinding grass obtained previously.
"Why are you so slow? I killed all the other demons who passed the trial before you came up."
Huang Tu rolled his eyes: "Okay, now I believe you said you are a semi-saint... Let me rest for a while."
Xu Kai pointed at Mo Yan, who was still kowtowing: "How do you think we should deal with her?"
Huang Tu struggled to hold up his upper body: "Tell me, what is the final test?"
"Every final trial is different...and you have killed other people who passed the trial, so this final trial can no longer be opened." Mo Yan stopped kowtowing, raised his head and replied with a trembling voice.
"Can we go out now that the final trial is over?"
"No... after the final trial, everyone will be teleported to the area of the first trial, but then the barriers between the areas will disappear, become interconnected, and there will be many rare opportunities. Although not as good as the first trial The rewards from the second trial and the final trial are also rare opportunities. So I will go back only after the final competition time in the first area is over."
"What would you do in this situation?"
"I don't know. There has never been a situation where all the people who passed the second trial were killed."
Xu Kai suddenly grabbed Mo Yan and said coldly: "How long are you going to deceive us?"
"Ah? I don't dare to deceive you two! I don't dare, I don't dare!"
"The first time you lied was when you said that the two of us had control of your life." Xu Kai said calmly, "Both of us are just children, and you are a demon with a clear mind. In this state, even if you One against two, it's not difficult for you to escape, so why is your first reaction to kneel down and worship on the ground?"
"That, that's right! Indeed, Mr. Huang Tu over there is just an ordinary boy, but how can you compare with him! You killed the half-saint's legitimate son and slaughtered thirteen demon clan elites. Even compared to the demons in the Spiritual Refining Realm, you are If I don’t fall behind, I will naturally worry that I will be killed!”
Huang Tu suddenly felt a little unhappy.
"I remember the first time I showed my strength was when you planned to take me to run, right? I caught up with you faster than you, and you didn't know my strength until I caught up with you."
Mo Yan was speechless, but Xu Kai's hand clenched tighter, making Mo Yan find it difficult to breathe, and a suffocating blush appeared on his deep purple face. She kept tapping Xu Kai's wrist, trying to make him relax a little, but Xu Kai had no response.
"The second time you lied was when you mentioned the Realm Heavenly Lock." Xu Kai's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "You said that the Realm Heavenly Lock in the Demon Refining Secret Realm will be set according to the first person to enter. If someone enters from the Pingtian Realm, It is limited to the Pingtian realm, but in the history of our human race, millions of troops fell into the secret realm of demon refining. Could it be that those millions of people were all in the same realm?!"
Mo Yan suddenly shook her head, and then looked calmly at Xu Kai, her face returning to its original color from flushing, as if her shortness of breath no longer affected her.
"Human history books are really troublesome things."
