126: Chapter 126 The Awakening of the Primordial Demon Emperor

The extreme south of the Central Continent, at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"Either put on your saddles and roll out yourselves to line up and acknowledge me as your master... or I will personally go in and skin you all to make leather coats!"

Lin Que's wild voice, infused with the World Power of his inner heaven and earth, was like rolling heavenly thunder, echoing again and again in the depths of the million-mile-long Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

However, after the voice fell.

The expected scene of ten thousand demons roaring and a surging beast tide did not appear.

The entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains suddenly fell into an extremely eerie, death-like silence.

The wind stopped.

The originally rolling black poisonous miasma froze in mid-air.

The usually violent and bloodthirsty great demons in the forest were like ducks with their necks squeezed, unable to make a sound; even the rustling of leaves vanished without a trace.

"Ma... Master..."

The Nine Nether Demonic Python under Lin Que's feet was now shaking its massive body as if it were being electrocuted.

Its remaining eight heads were pressed tightly against the ground, its crimson vertical pupils filled with unprecedented despair and fear.

"You... you've caused a huge disaster... My Emperor... My Emperor has truly awakened..."

The Nine Nether Demonic Python's voice carried a sob.

It wasn't afraid of death, but it feared that absolute Dominator who had slept for five thousand years and ruled these mountains for countless days and nights!

"Awakened? Perfect, saves me the trouble of knocking on the door."

Lin Que sat cross-legged on the snake's head, playing with a folding fan in his left hand and resting his right hand casually on his knee, his deep eyes quietly gazing into the deepest part of the mountain range.

Thump—

Suddenly, an extremely dull heartbeat that seemed to strike the depths of everyone's Soul came from the extreme depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Immediately following.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The heartbeat grew faster and louder!

In the end, the sound was as if someone were using a warhammer to frantically strike the leylines of the Central Continent!

On the three hundred warships below, the hundred thousand Golden Core army and the three thousand Nascent Souls all turned pale at the same time.

They discovered in horror that their own hearts were involuntarily beating along with that eerie heartbeat!

"Not good!! This is the Origin Domain of the Yao Race—Ten Thousand Demon Blood Calamity!!"

The Chen Family Old Ancestor, being well-informed, reacted instantly and was scared out of his wits:

"Quickly seal your six senses! Cut off the circulation of Qi and blood! That Ancient Demon Emperor is using his Soul Transformation Origin to forcibly resonate with our Bloodlines! He wants to detonate all one hundred thousand of us from a distance!!"

"What?!"

Su Qingyu immediately began to frantically circulate her Innate Dao Body, attempting to isolate this resonance.

But it was too late.

That was the Ancient Demon Emperor who had slept for five thousand years, whose cultivation had reached the Peak of the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation, and even had half a foot into the Late Stage! in this territory he had managed for countless ages, he was the local Heavenly Dao!

Pfft!

A Golden Core soldier with slightly weaker cultivation felt the blood in his body instantly boil to its Peak. He spat out a mouthful of scalding blood mixed with organ fragments, his skin turning red like a branding iron, and his body actually began to swell out of control!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Throughout the fleet, countless soldiers fell to the ground wailing in pain. Their blood vessels bulged high, as if they would explode into a mist of blood like balloons in the next second!

"Little human, relying on a newly attained Soul Transformation cultivation, you dare to run wild in my territory?"

An old, majestic voice, filled with endless vicissitudes and brutality, seemed to ring out from the Void Realm in all directions simultaneously.

"Five thousand years... humans really forget the pain once the wound heals. Since you've delivered yourselves to my door, I will gladly accept the blood and Qi of these hundred thousand Cultivators as my first snack after awakening!"

As the Demon Emperor's voice fell, the suction of that Bloodline resonance instantly surged tenfold!

"We're going to be sucked dry... Master, save us!!"

The thirty-six Old Ancestors also showed despair. They found that their proud Peak Nascent Soul cultivation was as powerless as an infant's in the face of this Bloodline deprivation!

This was the absolute dominance of an established local Soul Transformation expert! Without even showing his face, he could wipe out an army of a hundred thousand with a single thought!

However.

At the critical moment when the hundred thousand-strong army was about to collectively self-detonate.

"A snack? With those old teeth of yours, aren't you afraid of cracking them all?"

In mid-air, Lin Que slowly stood up from the head of the Nine Nether Demonic Python.

Not only did he not seal his own blood and Qi, but he also spread his arms wide in an expansive gesture, his eyes bursting with unprecedented fanaticism and excitement!

What did he Cultivate?

It was the Blood Scripture, the ancestor of all blood and Qi in the world! What kind of Physique had he forged? It was the Major Achievement Demon God Body that was impervious to all Spells!

This Ancient Demon Emperor wanted to play Bloodline resonance with him?

This was simply showing off a broadsword in front of Guan Yu—and it was a precious saber encrusted with diamonds at that!

"System! Someone is treating us to a buffet! Bring the plates to me!"

Lin Que issued the command in his mind with a lazy yet domineering tone.

[Warning! Detected high-dimensional Bloodline deprivation Law (Ten Thousand Demon Blood Calamity Domain)!]

[Analysis: The enemy is attempting to detonate and absorb the blood and Qi Origin of the host and the hundred thousand-strong army.]

[Logical restructuring initiated—'Fully Automatic Cupping and Bloodline Purification Bath' mode!]

[Operation 1: Intercept the low-level detonation command! Forcibly tamper 'Blood and Qi Boiling Self-Detonation' into 'High-Pressure Blood and Qi Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging'!]

[Operation 2: Reverse the siphon channel! Using the host's Blood Scripture as the formation eye, initiate 'Reverse Suction Feedback'!]

[Operation 3: Filter toxins from the 'Ancient Demonic Qi Origin' released by the Demon Emperor, transform it into 'Top-grade Blood and Qi Tonic Soup', and directly irrigate the host's inner heaven and earth and the hundred thousand-strong army!]

"Come, come, don't be polite. This Demon Emperor bro is really bleeding out for us!"

Buzz—!!!

The System's utterly unreasonable rules instantly descended!

Inside Lin Que's body, that thousands-of-miles-wide inner heaven and earth rumbled into motion, and the emerald-green World Tree leaves representing 'vitality' erupted with a dazzling light of life!

An eerie scene occurred.

The soldiers who had fallen on the deck, their bodies red and on the verge of exploding, suddenly felt the rampaging blood and Qi in their bodies being suppressed as if by ice water!

Not only did they not explode.

On the contrary!

Following the invisible Law channel that the Demon Emperor had originally used to 'drain blood', an extremely pure and domineering Ancient Demonic Qi Origin actually flowed back in reverse!

"This... what's going on?! Not only has my blood calmed down, but my physical strength is skyrocketing?!"

A Golden Core soldier looked in astonishment at his originally thin arm, which was now bulging with muscles like granite, filled with endless strength!

"Reverse suction?! Master is actually using the Demon Emperor's Law to reverse-drain the Demon Emperor's Origin to cleanse our marrow?!!"

The Chen Family Old Ancestor's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Feeling the influx of top-grade demon blood essence into his body, he shook with excitement.

This was equivalent to the Ancient Demon Emperor consuming his own life essence to give the hundred thousand of them a full-body SPA!

"Refreshing!!"

It wasn't just the hundred thousand-strong army.

As the absolute core of the reversal formation, the amount of Demon Emperor Origin Lin Que absorbed was ten thousand times that of an ordinary soldier!

Pure golden ancient demon blood flowed continuously into Lin Que's body.

The Blood Scripture operated frantically! His Major Achievement Demon God Body emitted a joyful cry like a dragon's roar.

Fifteen million catties... sixteen million catties... eighteen million catties!!

Under the infusion of this masterless great tonic, his pure physical strength began another terrifying climb!

In Lin Que's inner heaven and earth, the world tree sapling frantically absorbed this blood and Qi fertilizer, its roots growing deeper, and the spatial barriers of the inner heaven and earth became increasingly indestructible.

His cultivation, at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, was being completely filled and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, even faintly advancing toward the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation!

"Gurgle..."

At the edge of the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, a sound like a hundred thousand people collectively "slurping noodles" actually rang out.

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"What's going on?!! Why is my Origin draining?!!"

That old, majestic voice could finally no longer maintain its aloofness, letting out an extremely shocked and angry roar!

He discovered that the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Calamity Domain he had released had not only failed to blow up those hundred thousand ants but had instead become like a giant water pump, reverse-connected to his own main artery!

In just over a dozen breaths, several hundred years of his hard-earned cultivation foundation had been drained away!

"Break for me!!!"

Boom!

Accompanied by the Demon Emperor's exasperated roar, he forcibly cut off his innate talent Domain.

Due to the backlash, an extremely suppressed muffled groan even came from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Click.

On the side of the hundred thousand-strong army, everyone felt that refreshing "blood and Qi backflow" suddenly stop, and each one actually showed a regretful expression as if they hadn't had enough.

"Tsk, why did it stop? This Ancient Demon Emperor's kidneys aren't doing so well; his stamina is so short."

Lin Que stood on the head of the Nine Nether Demonic Python, curling his lips in extreme disdain.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying force approaching twenty million catties within his body, his eyes flashing with a Battle Intent that was eager to be tested.

"Since you're not treating anymore, then it's my turn to pick up the tab."

Lin Que's right hand slowly reached behind his back, grasping the quasi-immortal artifact - star fall, which had just been fused with the "Void Evasion Law" and "time crystal sand".

Clang—!!

The long saber was unsheathed, and the Four-Colored Exotic Fire instantly dyed half the sky into a brilliant sea of flames.

"Human!! You have completely enraged me!!!"

Rumble—!!

The sky deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains suddenly twisted and collapsed violently!

An ultimate Demonic Qi, more than a hundred times stronger than the Nine Nether Demonic Python, transformed into a golden pillar of light that pierced the sky and earth, directly tearing through ten thousand miles of the Void Realm!

Within that shattered Void Realm black hole.

A burly old man with dark golden twin horns, a head full of crimson long hair, and wearing an Ancient Dragon Armor forged from countless true Dragon scales, stepped out with world-destroying anger!

He didn't use any Spells; just by standing there, the surrounding space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass!

Ancient Demon Emperor—Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing!

At the absolute Peak of the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation!

The absolute Dominator of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!

"A mere human who has just entered Soul Transformation, relying on an evil art to suck a bit of my Origin, and you really think you're invincible in the world?"

Demon Emperor Ancient Demon Emperor Di Qing's vertical pupils, burning with golden flames, locked onto Lin Que, his voice so cold it seemed capable of freezing time:

"Today, I will let you witness what a true power gap looks like!!"

"So much nonsense."

Facing this ancient overlord who was enough to make the entire Central Continent tremble.

Lin Que showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he casually twirled the starfall mo dao in mid-air.

He kicked the Nine Nether Demonic Python still playing dead beneath his feet with his toe, looked at the furious Demon Emperor in the sky, and curled his lips into an extremely arrogant arc:

"Are you the manager here?"

"Cut the crap and hurry up and change back to your original form. I see your build is quite spacious; it should be just right for pulling my flagship."
