This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 405 The Ruthlessness of the Royal Family

Li Lan began to sit cross-legged, absorbing the primordial matter.

The surrounding demons were all utterly shocked by what they saw.

"How can a human absorb demonic matter like this? Has he gone mad?"

"Let alone humans, even the 'Supreme Demons' among the primordial races, who can absorb primordial matter, shouldn't act with such impunity..."

"This person is truly terrifying!"

The demons all spoke up!

Primordial matter contains unparalleled creative power, but a single misstep can plunge one into an ominous abyss.

In the primordial world, only "Supreme Demons" can directly absorb it, and even they are subject to limitations; it's impossible for them to do it as easily as Li Lan.

Others, who wish to smelt primordial matter, require special secret techniques to assist them.

For example, the nine Eternal Kings of the Eternal True Realm are extremely powerful, but when they explore the path of demons, they have to use the faith and incense of the entire Eternal True Realm to suppress themselves in order to keep the world from collapsing.

In fact, the reason why the seven original races were so famous and powerful was because they all possessed special secret techniques.

But Li Lan's appearance... truly shattered this barrier completely.

"The successor of the Heavenly Emperor is truly extraordinary."

"This child will be terrifying in the future!"

"Perhaps we are witnessing history today."

Many people looked solemn.

The Five Elements Goddess looked at Li Lan and couldn't help but nod.

Li Lan has indeed broken through the boundary between existence and non-existence, and has achieved a transcendence of cause and effect.

She had once fought against the Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear. Back then, the Heavenly Emperor, as a human, could withstand the power of the primordial forces, but his successor had achieved this even earlier...

"Perhaps investing in this person is another option?"

A thought suddenly struck her, and she glanced at Xingluoyuan again.

It might not be a bad thing that Xingluoyuan can stay by Li Lan's side!

"Your Majesty, what about the deal between the Dongya royal family and us?"

At this moment, an old demon stepped forward and asked the Five Elements Goddess, "That Chiling Hengtian has been kneeling outside for a long time."

Previously, the Dongya royal family and the beings in the demon realm had reached a cooperation agreement.

They will offer a cultivator who has mastered the Furnace Transformation Technique for the Five Elements Goddess to use in her revival. However, in return, the Five Elements Goddess will need to hand over the "Summoning Demon Technique" of the Primordial World to the Eastern Cliff Royal Family.

“He’s just an old, senile wretch, let’s ignore him.”

The Five Elements Goddess spoke calmly, "Red Ridge Eternal Heaven?"

So blind they actually mistook the Heavenly Emperor's successor for a furnace...

What qualifications do I have to make a deal with her?

……

As the primordial matter entered his body, Li Lan witnessed the birth, death, rise and fall, existence and non-existence of the Great Dao...

Under his guidance, the primordial matter transformed into countless mysterious energies, which began to melt the chains of destiny that bound him!

His cultivation level and vital energy are slowly recovering...

……

And this moment.

outside world.

"Five days have passed, why is there still no movement?"

"Now that the furnace has been presented, the Five Elements Goddess should also hand over the cultivation technique to us!"

"Fellow Daoist Chiling, what exactly happened?"

Dongya Changlie, Dongya Fanyue, and other powerful figures in the Dongya clan were all getting impatient.

At this moment, the demonic aura emanating from the underground palace has gradually subsided, and they can all see the scene within.

Chi Ling Hengtian had been kneeling before the Yin-Yang Stone Gate for five days and five nights!

They waited for five days and five nights!

Originally, Chiling Hengtian had acted recklessly, offering the furnace cauldron as a sacrifice without informing his family, which was already a capital offense.

However, considering that the sacrifice had already been completed, in order to ensure that they obtained the Demon Summoning Technique, the entire Dongya clan, from top to bottom, chose to remain silent and wait for the time being.

But now, this sacrifice... seems to have some problems?

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chiling sacrificed Fellow Daoist Fanyue's successor, a peerless genius with the potential to become an ignorant being. If you can't retrieve the Demon Summoning Technique, then it would be going too far..."

Jiang Wanli sneered.

"Indeed, if the deal with the Demon Realm fails, how will Fellow Daoist Chiling face his family?"

Nagano Tao also said leisurely.

The two had always been dissatisfied with Chiling Hengtian, and now, naturally, they wanted to seize every opportunity to relentlessly pursue him.

"No, Grandpa can do it! He can do it!"

Beside him, Chi Lingyi also looked anxious, wishing he could rush in immediately to urge his grandfather.

But there's nothing we can do now.

"This... seems to be a problem..."

Dongya Changlie narrowed his eyes, seemingly hesitant as well.

If the transactions were going smoothly, how could there have been no activity for five consecutive days?

"We can only keep waiting."

Dongya Fanyue then spoke up, her brows furrowing slightly, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. Once the Ancestral Demon has made a contract, as long as we don't break it, she wouldn't dare to easily go back on her word, otherwise she would suffer a backlash..."

She was also puzzled by the current situation!

"Wu Heng is no ordinary person."

Beside her, Dongya Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and said, "That old guy... he's definitely going to die!"

She was extremely dissatisfied with Chiling Hengtian.

……

Two more days have passed.

"What exactly happened at Chiling Hengtian?"

"Stop kneeling there! We demand an explanation!"

"Are you saying that if you kneel here for a day, we have to wait and wait for you to finish?"

Many high-ranking officials spoke up directly, urging him loudly, their words filled with impatience.

Inside the underground palace, before the Yin-Yang Stone Gate, Chi Ling Heng Tian's face was also extremely grim.

In fact, he was more panicked than anyone else!

During those seven days, he repeatedly called out, trying to establish contact with the beings in the demon realm, but all his efforts were in vain, with no response whatsoever.

Did something go wrong with the sacrificial ceremony?

Impossible, he already knows the art of sacrifice by heart!

Or is the furnace or cauldron substandard?

No way. He personally witnessed Li Lan cultivating the Furnace Transformation Technique. What problem could there be?

Or are these demons planning to break their promise?

He gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping onto the ground without him even realizing it. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth again and said, "I'll fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and his own essence blood faintly began to burn. He looked into the Yin-Yang Stone Gate and shouted:

"The sacrifice has been completed, the furnace has arrived, how dare the Ancestral Demon break his promise?!"

"The sacrifice has been completed, the furnace has arrived, how dare the Ancestral Demon break his promise?!"

He used his own life essence as a conduit to transmit this question directly through the stone gate—

Within the Demon Realm.

"The sacrifice has been completed, the furnace has arrived, how dare the Ancestral Demon break his promise?!"

The sound spread.

For a moment, all the demons turned their heads in disbelief.

"How dare you question the Ancestral Demon?"

"Does he really think he's someone important?"

"court death!"

All the demons were enraged.

"Noisy."

The Five Elements Goddess coldly uttered a single sentence and then glanced towards the Yin-Yang Stone Gate.

I only glanced at it—

Outside the Yin-Yang Stone Gate.

"what--"

Chi Ling Hengtian, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly let out a shrill scream. At this moment, the blood energy in his body suddenly burst into flames!

He was terrified and hurriedly used his immortal power to suppress it, but it was no use at all. His aura seemed to be ignited by the demonic flames and burned away.

Suddenly, his hair turned completely white, his body became hunched, and he looked as if he had aged thousands of years. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face covered in wrinkles, and even his eyes became cloudy!

"what?"

"what happened?"

Outside, everyone in the Dongya royal family was shocked.

"The ancestral demon from the demon realm has made a move, crippling his cultivation and causing him to lose all his vital energy. Therefore, he has become a cripple!"

Dongya Fanyue immediately spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

Is this the Ancestral Demon?

Chiling Hengtian is an Immortal-level Purification Master, yet he had absolutely no power to resist the opponent.

They didn't even see clearly how the Ancestral Demon made its move.

This is truly... too amazing.

"grandfather……"

Upon seeing this scene, Chiling Yishi collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

How could this be...?

How could this be?

He was utterly desperate!

Dongya Fanyue's expression was extremely solemn as she said:

"Impossible. Once the sacrifice is complete, the power of the contract should automatically take effect. The Ancestral Demon would not dare to break the oath, much less attack Chiling Hengtian like this... Unless, Chiling Hengtian has not met the requirements of the contract!"

"Has Wu Heng really run into trouble?!"

Her brows were furrowed.

This is the only possibility.

But who is Chiling Hengtian? He is an Immortal-level Purification Master, a figure of great stature in the world, and few can compare to him.

Moreover, he has studied the sacrificial ritual and the furnace-making technique for so long, how could he make such a mistake?

"Chiling Hengtian has ruined my clan's plans; he deserves to be executed!"

"I knew the sacrificial ceremony must have failed at all, otherwise why would we have been waiting here for so long?"

"What a scoundrel Chiling Hengtian! Acting recklessly without authorization, he deserves to die, he deserves to die!"

In an instant, all the kings and nobles present were completely enraged.

After so many days, their patience had long been exhausted. Now that Chiling Hengtian had completely lost its usefulness, how could they still tolerate it?

"Clan leader, please kill Chiling Hengtian!"

"Indeed, this thief has ruined our clan's great cause and should be executed!"

"He should be executed!"

Many people spoke to Dongya Changlie.

Jiang Wanli and Changye Tao were extremely excited. After so many years, they finally had a chance to bring down Chiling Hengtian.

Dongya Changlie... also had his brows furrowed at this moment.

The Demon Summoning Technique is extremely important to the Dongya royal family now...

Just as he hesitated, the Yin-Yang stone door suddenly stirred and slowly opened on its own—

"what?"

Everyone was an accident.

A calm voice then rang out: "The deal is done. The Demon Summoning Technique shall remain with the Eastern Cliff Royal Family—"

It was the voice of the Five Elements Goddess.

These words shocked everyone present.

"What? It's done?"

"Didn't it fail?"

"how so……"

Everyone was surprised.

Jiang Wanli, Nagano Tao, and the others were all stunned.

Chi Lingyi, who had been filled with fear and tension just moments before, was now extremely excited. He was almost in tears, shouting, "It's a success! Grandpa, you've succeeded! You've obtained the Demon Summoning Technique!"
