"Sha Xin, you've always been the one who refuses to come to your senses!
Let me ask you a question. Why have we waited for so many years? "Eke Du raised his hand and asked back.
Sha Xin did not speak. She stared at Eggy with a solemn expression on her face.
"You and I have been trapped in the Jilin Spatial Realm for so many years, and the Puppet City you govern has also been entangled with my Xuan City for so many years. Now that you've come to find me and say that you want to enter the Great Ruins together, isn't your goal the same as mine?
There's no need to bring up the past and deceive yourself! "Eggy sneered and said.
"Don't compare me to you!" Sha Xin said word by word.
"Sha Xin, for the sake of the past, let me give you another piece of advice.
Now that the corpse of the Devil Lord is right in front of us, if we split it evenly, we'll both have our own paths to the Great Dao.
When that time comes, won't it be easy for us to leave the cage of the Jilin Spatial Realm?
When we reach the Devil Realm or the Immortal Realm, we'll be as free as a bird, "Eco laughed heartily.
"Devil Lord …"
When Han Li heard this, he couldn't help but look at the crystal coffin floating in the center of the crimson lake.
At this moment, he was almost certain that the corpse in the crystal coffin was the "sacred corpse" they spoke of. However, why did Eco refer to it as the "Devil Lord"?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Daoist Xie. He seemed to have quite an inexplicable relationship with the Jilin Spatial Realm.
In other words, could this "Devil Lord" be Daoist Xie's master back then?
"Fellow Daoist Xie, are you here?" Han Li tried to contact him with his divine sense, but there was no response at all.
Right at this moment, Sha Xin's voice sounded.
"Do you think I've come to find you for the same goal as you?
You're very wrong. To tell you the truth, I've already found a way to resurrect master, "Sha Xin scoffed.
"Hehe, resurrection?
Looks like you still haven't woken up from your dream … Back then, the Devil Lord had failed his Dao Unification and died long ago, leaving behind only this corpse. It's impossible for him to be revived. Otherwise, why would the Great Ruins remain silent for so many years?
I actually hope that the Demon Monarch isn't dead. That way, I wouldn't have to be trapped here for so many years!
I advise you not to be so stubborn and do such a pointless thing. "A mocking expression flashed across Eggy's face.
"You heartless and unscrupulous thing. If it wasn't for your betrayal and the Demon Lord's interference during the critical moment of Master's Dao Fusion, Master would have definitely succeeded in Dao Fusion and advanced to the Dao Ancestor Realm." Sha Xin cursed angrily.
"Hmph … You don't know anything. Even if the Demon Lord didn't intervene back then, he wouldn't have succeeded." Eko harrumphed coldly.
"Master is brilliant, how could you possibly know of his methods and abilities?
If it weren't for Master's nurturing back then, you would've long turned into dung in some filthy land. Now, you actually dare to call me Devil Monarch and not call me Master respectfully … "Sha Xin rebuked angrily.
"Enough. Back then, he only taught me the cultivation method because he fancied my aptitude and wanted to nurture a fighter for himself.
I'm not like you. You're willing to be someone's chess piece and be manipulated by others.
However, back then, I chose Mystic Cultivation while you chose Puppet Dao. It was already predestined. You're destined to be the Demon Monarch's puppet for the rest of your life. Even after so many years of his death, you still can't get rid of it. "Eko shouted angrily and interrupted Sha Xin's rebuke.
"No matter what you say, don't even think about obtaining Master's corpse to satisfy your selfish desire this time.
After I resurrect him, I'll let him settle the score with you personally. "Sha Xin suppressed his anger and said calmly.
Eko glanced at Shi Chuankong who was lying by his feet and smiled.
"You don't have the royal bloodline of the Demon Clan. I'm afraid you can't even open that crystal coffin, right?
I have a real prince in my hands. If you're willing to cooperate with me, we can both benefit from it.
Otherwise, we can only look at this treasure mountain in front of us. No one can enter it. "
"City Lord Eko, you're wrong. Although the bloodline of our Divine Clan is rare, it's not only Thirteenth Brother who has it.
On the other hand, mine is purer. "
Before Sha Xin could reply, a tall figure wearing a hood suddenly appeared behind him and said with a smile.
As he spoke, the person took off the hood on his head and revealed a head of long white hair. Although his appearance was ordinary, he had a different temperament and a pair of rare deep purple eyes were shining.
Han Li glanced at him and could not help but frown. He realized that this person was the First Prince, Shi Zhan Feng.
Eko's expression finally changed when he saw this. A ferocious look appeared on his face and he gritted his teeth.
"I've tried my best to persuade you, and I've already done my best. If you still don't give up, then we can only fight to the death."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his feet on the ground. The entire underground space shook violently and there were huge ripples on the surface of the Blood Lake.
Eko's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. In the next instant, he suddenly appeared behind Shi Zhan Feng and stretched out his palm. His fingers were like hooks as he grabbed at Shi Zhan Feng's head.
Shi Zhan Feng's eyes flashed. He had already realized that something was wrong. However, his body's reaction was a step too slow. It was too late for him to dodge.
Just as his fingers were about to pierce into Shi Zhan Feng's skull, a white bone lance suddenly appeared from the side and hit Eko's wrist.
Shi Zhan Feng saw from the corner of his eye that Kun Yu's eyes were wide open. She was holding a white bone lance that shone with starlight and was stabbing at him from the side.
The long pole of the Bone Centipede was curved like a crescent moon, but it only pushed E Ge's palm away by an inch, narrowly avoiding Shi Zhan Feng's head. However, the wind it brought with it whistled past, leaving a few eye-catching bloody marks on Shi Zhan Feng's face.
Shi Zhan Feng made use of this opportunity and lowered his body. He kicked the ground with the tip of his foot and charged forward. He pulled out a white three-edged bone sword and the star acupoints on it shone brightly. He stabbed it towards Eko's lower abdomen.
Eko retracted his wrist and as he pushed the bone lance away, he raised his knee and used it to block the three-edged bone sword.
The profound acupoints on his legs lit up, and a layer of hazy white light shielded him like an armor, blocking the tip of the bone sword. No matter how the stellar acupoints on his upper body flashed wildly, it couldn't pierce through the bone sword.
"You're courting death!" Eko snorted coldly and kicked.
A ball of condensed white light exploded from the tip of his foot and headed straight for Shi Zhan Feng's face.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Shi Zhan Feng did not retreat. Instead, he stabbed forward with the sword in his hand and used the rebound force to push him back, creating a distance of almost a hundred feet.
However, although he retreated quickly, he was not as fast as Eko. Before he could stabilize himself, Shi Zhan Feng had already caught up to him.
Eko was obviously in a hurry to get rid of Shi Zhan Feng. The moment he got close to Shi Zhan Feng, he suddenly turned his waist, causing his spine to shake like a dragon coming out of the sea, giving off a thunderous sound.
The muscles on his right arm swelled and layers of white starlight burst out. An explosive force surged out from his fist.
Before the fist arrived, Shi Zhan Feng's expression changed. He felt that it was hard for him to breathe and the space around him seemed to be distorted. Even moving his body became abnormally difficult.
Han Li was shocked when he saw this. Eko had clearly suffered such serious injuries. How could he have recovered to such an extent in such a short time?
Even with his current strength, he was not confident that he could withstand the might of this attack.
Just at this moment, something strange happened!
Following a series of explosions, the twelve metal balls around Eko's body shone with a blinding light.
Following this, twelve bone armoured puppets appeared from within the balls. Each of them held a white bone chain with a curved blade at the end and threw it out at the same time.
The twelve white bone chains turned into streaks of white light that crossed the sky and covered Shi Zhan Feng like a spider web.
Seeing this, Edgar changed the direction of his fist that was heading towards Shi Zhan Feng and punched upwards.
White starlight exploded on his fist. It was as if a brilliant star had appeared on his fist. Dazzling streams of light soared into the sky and collided with the large net woven by the white bone chains.
At this moment, all the star acupoints on the bone chain net suddenly flashed and stopped spewing out the power of the stars. Instead, they turned into small vortexes that emitted a powerful devouring power.
The starlight that Eko's fist had shot out was sucked dry like flowing water, losing all of its power.
"This is …" Before Shi Zhan Feng could recover from his shock, the bone chain net had already enveloped him.
"Formation!"
A delicate voice was heard and the twelve bone armoured puppets made hand signs with one hand. Their footsteps changed and their movements were uniform. In an instant, the formation was completed.
A silver electric light flashed on the bone chain net and turned into a silver lightning ball, trapping Eko within it.
Han Li frowned and looked over. He saw that the black-veiled lady, whom Sha Xin called "Xiao Zi", was sitting cross-legged on the ground. There was a black stone plate array in front of her and there were twelve white chess pieces on it.
It was not an easy task to control twelve puppets at the same time and make them cast a formation neatly. However, the person who did this was not Sha Xin but her!
Kun Yu, who was holding the bone lance, was standing not far away from her, guarding her.
Just as Han Li was surprised, Eko sneered and said, "You want to trap me with this crude formation?"
With that, the Xuan acupoints on his body shone brightly and he raised his fist and punched the bone chain and electric net that enveloped him.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound!
As soon as the starlight on his fist blossomed, the devouring power on the bone chain appeared again and absorbed most of the power released by his fist.
At the same time, a silver electric light surged out of the electric net and struck Eko's body, causing a lot of sparks.
The bone chain formation was still intact wherever the electric light passed. However, tiny cracks that were hard to be seen by the naked eye appeared on the bodies of the twelve puppets.
As for "Xiao Zi" who was controlling the formation, her body trembled violently. It was obvious that she was under a lot of pressure.
"This formation naturally can't trap you forever, but it's enough to trap you for a while." Sha Xin glanced at Xiao Zi and said expressionlessly.
With that, she gave Shi Zhan Feng a look and the two of them jumped from the shore. After a few leaps, they arrived at the center of the blood lake.
