Chapter 385: The Legacy
The Blood River Patriarch, the Sun and Moon Demonic Empress, and the Ten Thousand Malice Demonic Sect Master came to the edge of the dark pool, their demonic energy rolling in waves, and took their positions.
Sensing the extraordinarily dense true qi of heaven and earth above the pool, the Ten Thousand Malice Demonic Sect Master's eyes moved beneath his hood, then shifted toward the Sun and Moon Demonic Empress, "The true qi of heaven and earth here is indeed remarkably unusual. Finding this place was no small feat."
At those words, the Sun and Moon Demonic Empress's expression remained even. Demonic energy churned at her back, and the faint silhouettes of a demonic sun and demonic moon rose and fell on either side of her, "This old one heard of it through information that reached her. According to Great Xuan's Divine Constable, the bottom of this pool holds a martial divine treasure, though no one has been able to dive in and approach it. Those who try inevitably fall unconscious, or even die."
"The Divine Constable once dove into the pool himself to investigate, and even with his deep martial cultivation, he could not escape falling unconscious. He nearly drowned in the water."
At those words, a crimson gleam flickered in the Blood River Patriarch's eyes. He exchanged a look with the Ten Thousand Malice Demonic Sect Master and narrowed his eyes, "No matter. Once we open the Demonic Cores and absorb the lifetime cultivation the Demonic Patriarch poured into all nine of them, we can explore whatever is at the bottom of this pool at our leisure."
"If a martial divine treasure truly lies within, then it is a sign of the demonic path's rising fortune, and it shall naturally become ours."
The Ten Thousand Malice Demonic Sect Master gave a slight nod, ghostly shadows drifting around him. He reached into his robes and produced two Demonic Cores, "Time is short. Better to open the Demonic Cores without delay, before anything can go wrong."
At those words, the Blood River Patriarch also nodded, then a flash of crimson light crossed his palm and three Demonic Cores appeared in his hand.
Then the Sun and Moon Demonic Empress opened the dragon-head compartment of her walking staff, and three more Demonic Cores flew out.
