Lin Jiufeng wanted to know more about the origins of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
But the more he knew about it, the more confused he became.
He asked Demon King Pingtian.
“Say, why did so many powerhouses end up dying in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy after that battle?”
Demon King Pingtian thought for a while and replied, “I don’t know.”
Lin Jiufeng looked at him placidly.
“I really don’t know. If I knew, I would be able to solve the doubts in the hearts of every major sect and top factions.” Demon King Pingtian cried out.
He really didn’t know.
He wasn’t playing with Lin Jiufeng.
“No one knows why they started fighting back then. It was a secret. Even the major sects didn’t have the exact answers to it. In the early years, they had never given up searching for the true answer…”
“No matter what the reason was, something must’ve urged them to fight.”
“And in the middle of that fight, something must’ve gone wrong…”
“Otherwise, how could so many powerhouses engage in a life and death struggle in one place? In the end, some died, some were rendered senile due to their injuries while the rest directly fell into a deep sleep.” Demon King Pingtian explained.
Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, “Other than that, do you have anything else to add?”
Demon King Pingtian thought for a while and replied, “No, this is all I know about the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.”
“So many powerhouses died in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. How did you guys from that demon’s den end up occupying the Land of Extreme Negative Energy then?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“Because we’ve outnumbered them,” Demon King Pingtian replied in a matter-of-factly manner.
There were more than three thousand of them, and they were all demons and monsters.
In addition, each one of them was very powerful.
At their peak, they had half the strength of the entire members of the demonic path.
With so many people, how could they not occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?
Lin Jiufeng was rendered speechless. He took a step forward, and a lotus flower appeared beneath his feet. It carried his body as he disappeared into the void.
Demon King Pingtian didn’t know about the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, so Lin Jiufeng had no reason to stay here anymore.
“Let’s call it even.” With that, Lin Jiufeng left.
Under the gazes of everyone in the world, he disappeared just like that.
Many people hurriedly looked around, but they couldn’t find Lin Jiufeng.
Perhaps only Emperor De and Princess Yulin knew that Lin Jiufeng had already returned to the Cold Palace.
Seeing this scene, Sect Leader Luo Yu of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect gritted his teeth and said, “Everyone, bear with it for now. When we’ve dug out the powerhouses of our Zenith Heaven Path, it will be our time to sweep through the world.”
The current Lin Jiufeng was too powerful.
He had to be careful and wait for the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to recover its peak strength.
Then, the opportune moment to strike would naturally arrive as well.
Lin Jiufeng managed to suppress Demon King Jiao who was at the pinnacle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm with a wave of his hand.
If it were them, they would probably die from just one slap by Lin Jiufeng.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect decided to continue to endure while hiding their malicious intentions. It wasn’t a problem for them to do this, after all, they had already been enduring for so many years.
They were patient and could afford to wait.
…
On the riverbanks of the Wei River, Demon King Pingtian looked at the dragon’s tomb. He then transformed into his human form and was dressed in linen clothes. He looked rather refined as he walked to the edge of the dragon’s tomb.
“Are you okay, brother?”
Demon King Pingtian leaned against the dragon’s tomb and asked loudly.
“I’m listening. I’m not dead, but I’m not much different from being dead now,” Demon King Jiao replied angrily.
He was suppressed in the dragon’s tomb, but his mouth could still speak.
He could also absorb spiritual energy and improve his strength.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t make things difficult for him.
His face was just beaten swollen and then he was sealed in this place—that was it.
The 36 swords suppressed his entire body. There was even a sword on his neck. Fortunately, he was a flood dragon and was very huge, so the wounds on his body weren’t very large in comparison. But the 36 swords were distributed widely and they rendered him unable to move.
“It’s good that you’re okay. I told you not to provoke that person earlier, but you just didn’t believe me. See the result now? You’ve truly provoked a catastrophe,” Demon King Pingtian said with a smile.
“…” Demon King Jiao was speechless.
“Just what is his background?”
Demon King Jiao suppressed his emotions and asked once more.
Demon King Jiao had thought that he was already strong enough to be at the peak of this brand new era. He believed that with his powerful strength, he could sweep through the world and elicit the golden era of the monster race.
But who would have thought that he had already failed before he even started?
In his first battle in this brand new era, he encountered Lin Jiufeng.
Then, he was defeated and suppressed in a single move.
Demon King Jiao couldn’t accept this.
He still hadn’t come to his senses.
Demon King Pingtian said, “He is a monster of this era.”
“He’s not an old monster from the last era?” Demon King Jiao asked in disbelief.
“No…” Demon King Pingtian shook his head. He was very certain of this.
“How is that possible?” Demon King Jiao’s worldview was shattered.
The spiritual energy in this era had just started its recovery, and the most powerful beings from this era were only at the peak of the Human God Realm.
There wasn’t a single native who had made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm yet.
But then he heard that Lin Jiufeng—a powerhouse who had surpassed the Grotto-Heaven Realm—was actually from this era?
Demon King Jiao was simply unable to accept it.
“When did you wake up?” Demon King Pingtian asked.
“A few months ago, I found a spiritual energy vein at the bottom of the sea and I swallowed it. That’s how I managed to recover so much of my previous strength,” said Demon King Jiao.
“As for me, actually… I woke up ten years ago,” Demon King Pingtian said bitterly.
“Then, your cultivation base—” Demon King Jiao exclaimed in surprise.
“I wasn’t the only one who woke up 10 years ago. The entire demon’s den woke up 10 years ago. Then, he single-handedly suppressed us for 10 years and defeated every demon in our demon’s den.” Demon King Pingtian explained.
Demon King Jiao was shocked speechless.
“In the past ten years, we personally witnessed him progressing from the Grotto-Heaven Realm and then exceeding it.”
“And this time, he released me on his own accord. He asked me to persuade you not to be rash, saying that he didn’t want to make a move.”
“But I couldn’t persuade you.”
Demon King Pingtian let out a long sigh.
Demon King Jiao didn’t say anything.
After a long while, Demon King Jiao talked once more. “My character needs to be changed. If it weren’t for your pleading this time, I would’ve been dead for sure.”
“We’ve been brothers for thousands of years. How could I watch you die?” Demon King Pingtian said.
Demon King Jiao was moved.
He shouted, “Old Bull, I’ve really become arrogant…”
“All right, let’s not talk about this anymore…”
“I will accompany and stand guard for you in the Wei River. When you’ve accumulated enough strength, you will be able to break this seal…”
“Anyway, he didn’t stop you from absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.”
“Sadly, this world isn’t like the previous world where we could roam freely anymore.” Demon King Pingtian transformed into his true form. His huge body swayed his tail and sank into the Wei River. He also began to absorb the huge amounts of spiritual energy in the world.
“I think you should go and advise Demon King Dapeng. He also said that he wants to go to the Imperial Capital. I hope he won’t encounter that human powerhouse.” Demon King Jiao reminded.
“Don’t worry. Demon King Dapeng is smarter and more open to advice than you. Moreover, with your previous example, he will come here instead of going to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty…”
“Among the seven of us, you are the one with the worst temper after all.”
The voice of the Demon King Pingtian resounded from the bottom of the river.
Demon King Jiao instantly became ashamed.
He was rendered speechless and could only sigh in the end.
…
After solving this matter, Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace and continued his quiet life.
He closed the doors of the Cold Palace tightly, refusing to receive anyone.
Including Emperor De and Princess Yulin.
It was because Lin Jiufeng was in the middle of stabilizing himself in the realm that he had just arrived into.
