Chapter 92: I Should Have Learned How to Fight Earlier
This world never has anything new. A thousand years ago, Demon Lord Bai Mushuang luckily escaped with a sliver of his Primordial Spirit from Lady Yun Xiao of Three Immortals Island. This place prohibits Primordial Qi, and if nothing unusual happened, this strand of Primordial Spirit wouldn’t have lasted too long.
Yet in this palace, besides him, there was another living person.
That person, who ran out from Refusing Demon City, had traveled thousands of miles, naively wanting to follow and serve him, a junior named Lan Yue.
Looking back on the life of Demon Lord Bai Mushuang, it was quite splendid. Perhaps even he himself did not expect that in these final moments, he would resort to deceit and trickery to treat a junior who worshipped and respected him so greatly, annihilating his Primordial Spirit and seizing his body.
Originally, all he needed to do was to open the small world he had created, borrow the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within to nourish his Primordial Spirit, reconstruct his body, and secretly wait for his realm to gradually recover and rise again.
But it seemed like karma, the body of the Flame Demon clan descendant which he had possessed, although having cultivated to the Golden Immortal Realm, did not have high innate physical talents, and the Qi Sea inside his body was pitifully small.
The gate to the small world that he could usually open with a wave of his hand now wouldn’t budge, even if he drained all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from this body.
What followed was a long wait.
With the gradual decrease of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within his body, he had to endure hunger and thirst. In the extreme quiet, he could even hear the sound of his shriveled stomach churning and contracting, making the pain even more excruciating.
Sometimes, he would sit cross-legged within the grand hall and reflect. Reflect on why he had failed, pondering over the Dao Traces he had mastered between heaven and earth, thinking about the essence of the world.
