Volume 3: The Sword That Shines on the Demon Clan Chapter 148: The True Body of the Demon Emperor Tongtian
"Congratulations, little brother. Congratulations, little brother. In these thousands of years, you are the only young man who can pass the Five Elements Divine Beast Formation of the Demon Emperor Tongtian." The white-clothed Emperor Nian smiled, as if he was really happy for Wang Chen.
Wang Chen looked at the white-robed Emperor Nian’s smile as if he had seen a snake or scorpion.
He had heard the same words from the formation spirit named Shi Mei from the Qionghua Sect. If she had said it, her face would have been expressionless and her tone would have been neither happy nor sad.
This white-robed Emperor Nian has a sweet smile on his face, but there must be a knife hidden behind him, and it is the kind of knife that can rip even the bones out of him.
Wang Chen cursed in his heart.
"The inheritance formation has been waiting for four thousand years. Today we can finally see the appearance of the inheritor. Your talent has been recognized by the Tongtian Demon Emperor. You are destined to stand at the top of the demon clan. Please invite the inheritor into the formation to accept the inheritance and revitalize our demon clan." The white-clothed emperor lowered his head respectfully, as if welcoming a newly enthroned emperor.
Wang Chen felt even colder in his heart, but he had to admit that these words were powerful.
Among the demon race, there are not many that are known for their scheming. Most of them are straightforward and speak with their fists. Who would have thought that the few wisps of consciousness of the Demon Emperor Tongtian, who is already recognized to have fallen, would be so insidious and vicious?
If these words were heard by the demon tribe who had just come into contact with the Emperor's thoughts for the first time, and who had gone through untold hardships and training, and heard that they could finally get the ultimate reward, they would surely be ecstatic as if they were really going to ascend the throne, and would have no doubts.
In fact, when Wang Chen first came into contact with another Emperor's Thought, he also thought that the Emperor's Thought was a reliable spiritual consciousness that cared for the younger generation. However, as he came into contact with the Emperor's Thought day by day and was used and calculated many times, Wang Chen discovered that these Emperor's Thoughts seemed to be committed to promoting the so-called inheritance. As for what the purpose was and whether they were looking for the so-called inheritor, he did not know.
But there is one thing he is sure of, if he rushes to accept the so-called inheritance, his future will be unpredictable.
"I remember I told you to get away? Why are you still in front of me? Could it be that over the past few thousand years, not only has your brain become less and less useful, but your face has also become thicker and thicker?" Wang Chen sneered.
"My little brother is the future Demon King. Although I am older than you, I am still no match for you. You are right. I should reflect on myself."
“Please step forward a few steps, little brother. Just stand in the center of the formation and you will naturally be able to receive the inheritance. Then my wish will be fulfilled, and even if it disappears on the spot, I will die with my eyes closed.” The emperor in white thought and raised his head. There was a hint of sincerity in his bitter eyes.
"That's not good. His acting skills are improving too fast."
Wang Chen was even more shocked. This Emperor Nian in White was extremely vicious when he first met him, and he even wished he would explode on the spot. But now he could actually endure the humiliation under his crotch, and even took the opportunity to tempt him by saying that he would become the Demon Emperor in the future. The reason behind this is terrifying when one thinks about it carefully.
"I'm not interested in accepting the inheritance. If you let me go, we can just pretend that no one has ever met each other, okay?" Wang Chen asked tentatively.
The White-clothed Emperor looked into Wang Chen's eyes and said seriously, "This is the core of all inheritance spaces. When the Demon Emperor Tongtian used a secret method to refine this inheritance space, he set the rules. After accepting the inheritance, you will naturally be teleported out, but there is no other way to leave. If I can let you leave here, doesn't that mean I can let anyone accept the inheritance? How could the original body give us such great power?"
"That makes a lot of sense." Wang Chen was even more surprised. This meant that the White-Robed Emperor had simulated and concealed his purpose thousands of times during these thousand years. No matter how he tried, he would not be able to find the flaws.
He simply stopped talking nonsense with the White-Robed Emperor, squatted down without any image, and carefully examined the formation pattern under his feet.
Back in the world of cultivation, Wang Chen went through two experiences of learning formation patterns. One time was when he was plotted against by the Black Ice Demon Emperor and the Blood Demon Ancestor, and the other time was in the Qionghua Sect.
Although these studies were not systematic, what he came into contact with were all inheritances from the ancient immortal period, when formations were most advanced. He was also taught by the ancient immortals. With his talent, what he gained from it was beyond the imagination of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Because of these opportunities, Wang Chen's attainments in ancient formations are at least among the best in the world of cultivation.
At this glance, he had already seen the clues.
"This array pattern is actually somewhat similar to the Immortal Refining Array?"
Wang Chen frowned and gently stroked the array pattern that was emitting a dim light.
The cold touch came from between my fingers...
However, at the point where the finger touched the array pattern, a blue light suddenly lit up, and then the blue light became brighter and brighter, like falling into a pool, suddenly causing ripples in the water, and spreading at an extremely fast speed.
Buzz!
The entire stone formation began to shake violently.
"I was careless!"
Wang Chen suddenly woke up from his contemplation of the formation pattern, but the subconscious touch just now had already caused the stone formation to change.
Amid the buzzing vibrations, mysterious runes lit up one after another, and in a short period of time, they covered the entire stone formation like a dazzling array of flowers.
Even under Wang Chen's feet and behind him were covered with blue runes.
A loud laugh suddenly broke out, sounding extremely harsh to Wang Chen's ears.
It was Emperor Nian in white. At this moment, there was no trace of respect or sincerity on his face. Instead, it was filled with resentment.
"You cunning boy, you finally got fooled. I endured your humiliation just for this moment."
"Shut up, idiot. This is just the power of my finger. Don't be surprised by something unusual." Wang Chen's words almost choked the Emperor in white to death.
But Wang Chen's face was solemn, and he stared closely at the changes around him.
"You are too arrogant! This time, the spirit formation is waiting for your physical body to touch it. It will be activated as soon as you touch it. It has nothing to do with the power of your crappy finger." The white-clothed emperor pointed at Wang Chen, his fingers trembling with anger, but when he found that Wang Chen didn't take his words seriously at all, he became even angrier.
Above the main array plate, blue energy flowed continuously towards the center of the array, as if the power of the entire array had converged at one point.
Above the center of the formation, countless strange energies gathered and gradually formed a human figure. The whole body was shrouded in blue light. It was majestic and tall, but like an energy body, the facial features could not be seen clearly.
The moment he completed the construction, a tremendous majesty materialized into a hurricane and gushed out.
Wang Chen's face changed.
This was not the first time he had sensed this aura, but he had never imagined that it would be so overwhelming, terrifying and cold!
In the blue light, a figure emerged. He had an ancient face, gray hair on his temples, and wore a dark green robe. His golden eyes seemed to be able to see through people's souls.
As soon as he met that gaze, Wang Chen suddenly felt as if his whole body was frozen and he could not move at all.
"The Demon Emperor Tongtian, he is not dead after all." Wang Chen felt that his voice was also hoarse.
"Your subordinate greets the Demon Lord!" The white-robed Emperor Nian knelt down on one knee.
The Tongtian Demon Emperor's light was flowing, and he said nothing. He looked around, as if he was recalling something. After a long while, he looked at the White-Robed Emperor and asked, "How long has it been?"
"Three thousand seven hundred and fifty-one years have passed since the Demon Lord fell into a deep sleep."
The White-Robed Emperor said respectfully.
"Has it been that long?"
The powerful voice of the Demon Emperor Tongtian echoed in the stone formation, and then a pair of eyes turned to Wang Chen.
"I strictly followed the orders of the Demon Lord and searched for a spirit boy who could pass the Five Elements Trial... But in the past three thousand years, the inheritance trial was opened twice, and only he succeeded in passing the Five Elements Trial."
"This body is too weak, not even as good as the cubs of some monsters." Tongtian Demon Emperor shook his head.
When Emperor Nian in White heard what Demon Emperor Tongtian said, he was so scared that he lowered his head deeply.
As the Demon Emperor Tongtian raised his hand, Wang Chen's whole body shook, and suddenly there was a crackling sound. All his bones, which were as hard as flying swords, shattered.
Inhuman pain surged over him like a tide, and Wang Chen stared at the Demon Emperor Tongtian with his eyes fixed. The pain of having his entire body of bones shattered was so painful that he almost fainted even with his current level of cultivation.
