Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Luo Sandao shook his head. "Actually, I've just realized those guys probably didn't even know the Demonic Sword existed."

"By a terrible coincidence, I was buried in the very same space as the Demonic Sword!"

"Although the Demonic Sword saved my life, it also restricted me. For five years, I was trapped here by the Demonic Sword, unable to move a single step!"

"Only recently, after I broke through to the Primordial Mansion Realm, did I battle the Demonic Sword and finally manage to break free!"

At his words, everyone present exchanged glances.

"So that terrifying Demonic Qi leaking from the dungeon was the aftershock of your battle with the Demonic Sword?"

Everyone was stunned.

"That's right!"

Luo Sandao nodded. "I thought I was no match for the Demonic Sword, but I managed to escape in the end."

"The Demonic Qi that surged from the dungeon back then was immense. By all accounts, you should have been on the losing end!"

Wushan Old Ghost chose his words carefully and said slowly, "But you escaped right after the Sect Leader went in. Perhaps the Demonic Sword sensed the Sect Leader's arrival and decided to let you go?"

"That's not out of the question." Luo Sandao glanced at Ye Chen.

"Then do you know why the Demonic Sword would confine you underground?" Ye Chen frowned, feeling that something was off.

"I don't know." Luo Sandao looked bewildered. "However, while I was underground, this bone I carry was constantly burning hot."

With that, he took a bone fragment from his robes.

The bone fragment was pitch-black, as if it had been charred.

But when Ye Chen saw this bone fragment, his whole body trembled, and a terrifying aura erupted from within him!

"WHOOSH!"

Everyone present was given a huge fright.

They couldn't understand the reason for Ye Chen's sudden outburst.

"Ye Chen, what's wrong?"

Luo Sandao was alarmed and uncertain. Just as he was about to speak again...

...the bone fragment in his hand suddenly transformed into a streak of black light and burrowed into Ye Chen's body.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, momentarily speechless.

"What on earth happened?"

"Did you just eat that bone?"

After a long while, seeing that the aura around Ye Chen seemed to have calmed down, Luo Sandao asked cautiously.

All eyes turned to Ye Chen.

"It's nothing. That bone fragment and the Demonic Sword share the same origin. It's only natural that I absorbed it."

Ye Chen gave a faint smile, but inwardly, he was ecstatic!

'The bone fragment Luo Sandao took out is actually one of the Ancient Demon God's remains!'

'It has the exact same aura as the three bone fragments that were once placed on the altar as an offering to the Demon God's Astonishing Record!!!'

After absorbing the pitch-black bone fragment, Ye Chen looked within himself.

He discovered that another small ball of light had appeared around the Demon God's Astonishing Record!

Now, a total of four small balls of light were revolving around the Demon God's Astonishing Record.

'The first ball of light gave me the legacy of the Demon God Creation Skill.'

'The second gave me the legacy of Sword Dao enlightenment.'

'So what about the third one? What will it be?'

'And this new fourth ball of light—when will its seal be broken?'

Ye Chen took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the excitement in his heart.

But he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

'Once I absorb all four of these legacies… perhaps then I'll have truly grown to a level comparable to the Ancient Demon God!'

Looking at Luo Sandao, Ye Chen's gaze grew increasingly fervent.

'This guy really is a walking treasure trove!'

'In just two short days, he's given me so many surprises!!!'

"Uh…"

Ye Chen's gaze made Luo Sandao a little uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat lightly and slowly averted his gaze.

"In that case, Senior Luo is truly fortunate."

"It's precisely because of this black bone that Senior Luo was lucky enough to survive being buried in the dungeon."

"I suppose no one could have known that such a strange Demonic Sword was there."

Luo Sandao's experience left everyone sighing in amazement.

Hearing this, Luo Sandao couldn't help but smile wryly. "Yes. I originally thought that after getting out, I'd be able to get my revenge."

"I never expected Ye Chen to beat me to it, robbing me of the chance for revenge."

After learning that Ye Chen was the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, he no longer dared to address him as the Saint Heir of the Luoyun Sect.

"Well? Want to join us?"

Ye Chen smiled and extended a hand to Luo Sandao.

No one was too surprised to see this, as they had already anticipated it.

Although Luo Sandao was once a Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect and a figure of the Righteous Dao, he, like the Demon Cultivators in the dungeon, was actually a victim imprisoned by the Luoyun Sect.

They were all in the same boat.

Luo Sandao was taken aback.

He recalled the many shocks Ye Chen had given him over the past two days.

He quickly made up his mind.

"I am deeply honored by your invitation, Sect Leader Ye!"

"I've decided to join the Demon Sect!"

Hearing Luo Sandao's reply, everyone smiled, including Ye Chen, even though they had all seen it coming.

With Luo Sandao joining, their Demon Sect now had a true Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator.

From now on, in addition to the Second-Layer grand formation, the Demon Sect finally had another safeguard in Luo Sandao!

After all, even in all of Lei Province, there were very few Cultivators who had reached the Primordial Mansion Realm.

With Luo Sandao, at least in terms of overt strength, their Demon Sect could definitely be considered a top-tier power in Lei Province!

As for the Li family, they were merely a vassal force of the Demon Sect, not true members.

Everyone was happy about Luo Sandao joining.

Luo Sandao himself was also very excited.

He felt extremely fortunate at the thought of being able to follow Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen was a terrifying prodigy who had comprehended Sword Intent in just two days!

A monster like that was simply unprecedented, eclipsing all others throughout history!

With such a prodigy by his side, he believed he could definitely gain a lot of inspiration from Ye Chen.

And in turn, make great strides in his own Blade Intent!

"From now on, you will continue to serve as a Supreme Elder in the Elder Pavilion."

"As for specific matters, just leave them to Wushan Old Ghost and the others."

"You only need to act when the Demon Sect needs you. That will be enough."

Ye Chen instructed calmly.

Luo Sandao bowed to Ye Chen. "As you command, Sect Leader!"

As for Wushan Old Ghost and the other Elders, they naturally had no objections.

The Cultivation Realm had always respected strength above all else.

Luo Sandao was a genuine Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator who had also mastered an astonishing blade art; it was perfectly normal for his status to be higher than theirs.

The crisis in the dungeon was resolved, and the sect had gained another powerful warrior.
