After Favorability Is Maxed

214 The Shock in Central Plains

Swish, swish…

The silver blade turned into a shadow again and returned to Liu Yuan’s heart.

However, at this moment, the demonic Qi had already entered his heart meridian. According to the cultivation rules of Shangyang, the place above the heart meridian was the important part of the soul’s Sea of Consciousness. The Swirling Forms were barely able to block the demonic Qi outside the Sea of Consciousness. They were actually evenly matched, and even in a precarious situation.

He Qingmeng had been hiding her strength all this time. Judging from her last attack, her cultivation base was at least equal to that of Pihuan Luo. Considering that the Holy Maiden was far away and she had used the Great Art of Heavenly Demon Disintegration, Pihuan Luo was still stronger.

However, she did not care when she saw the Three-headed Heavenly Demon charging toward her to die. She allowed her subordinate, a capable demon, to be decapitated.

It should be known that the current Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s strength had greatly decreased due to the short period of fusion. If it was a late-stage Three-headed Heavenly Demon, no one here would be able to defeat it.

No wonder it was said that those who were not of her race were bound to have a different heart. Humans simply could not understand this kind of self-folding behavior… People would think that she was unable to save him because her strength was insufficient.

Liu Yuan vomited another mouthful of blood, but his mind was much clearer now.

The injuries on his body did not matter as they could still be suppressed for the time being. The scattered demonic Qi could be dealt with by the Jade Mirage Sect. The key was that if he was not careful now, he would really be transformed into a demon. When that happened, his camp would change. How could he play then?

Oh, it’s okay to play, but change he had to play as a villain. It’s just that the style might be a little awkward.

What the hell!

Most of the characters he conquered were on the side of the Righteous and neutral, but the good and evil were internal matters of the race. Whether it was human or demon beast, they were all enemies of the demon race.

At that time, he would be in the camp with his heart on the other side. If they had a love-hate relationship, that would be too f*cking painful!

Humans could turn in to demons, but he had never heard of a way to transform back.

Liu Yuan was flustered and exasperated. This guy has strayed from the topic from the start. He did not even ask what he should have asked. The demon race… Damn the demons! How could I have forgotten about the demonic dragon under the Dragon Lock Dagger at the beginning? That group of things is best at seducing and cheating. During the war between humans and demons, there were so many human traitors!”

When he thought of the demon dragon, he was suddenly startled and muttered, “Damn it… that demon dragon said that I would definitely return. Could it be coming true here? No, no, no, these demons don’t have the ability to predict the future. It’s all a psychological suggestion. I’d be stupid to believe it.”

He was in a dilemma, but he found that the Whirling Forms sealed in his heart were slowly absorbing the demonic Qi while preventing it from invading his Sea of Consciousness.

“Pihuan Luo? She’s taking the initiative to help me bear the demonic Qi mist through the Swirling Forms.”

Liu Yuan’s expression was complicated. Back then, he had not fully adapted to the fear of encountering a big boss in the novice village in this world. When defining Pihuan Luo’s status, he chose the most intense one. In fact, now that he thought about it, there was no need to be so extreme.

Compared to He Qingmeng, he realized how good Pihuan Luo was to him because his favorability was maxed out. They were both unpredictable and cruel characters.

And there was still Zhiying.

Liu Yuan turned his head, and the young girl’s exquisite side profile was right in front of him. Zhiying noticed his line of sight and turned his head to look at him, saying, “Mother won’t let anything happen to you, and I won’t… Just stay away from the demons in the future. They’re all bad things.”

Although his tone was still light, when Zhiying said it, he sounded exceptionally certain, as if she was coaxing a child.

It was probably because Pihuan Luo used the tone of a child to coax her when he said such words to her.

Liu Yuan imagined the cruel and ruthless Pihuan Luo, the Holy maiden of the demonic Holy Church, coaxing his daughter in a soft voice while nursing her. Immortal cultivators should not have to raise their children like this.

Liu Yuan was not sure. After all, true knowledge could only be found through practice.

They had temporarily returned to the island.

They landed on the white jade stone tablet that they could not find any clues about at the beginning. Liu Yuan leaned against the stone tablet and meditated to regulate his breathing.

Chuichui turned into an orange cat and jumped into his arms. She stood on her tiptoes and tried to pat Liu Yuan’s head with her own paws. She shook her ears and said seriously, “Meow meow meow, if you become a demon, then, that Chuichui is a super fierce evil dragon anyway, so I can continue to follow you.”

Liu Yuan opened his eyes slightly and sighed, “You’re a mount, so you have to follow even if you don’t want to. You’ve forgotten the soul contract you signed with me. You can’t run away.”

Chuichui, who wanted to take the opportunity to express her loyalty and move Liu Yuan, was stunned. “Meow…”

On the other hand, Hong Luan obediently sat at the side and said, “Lord Martial Emperor seems to be in a temporary deep sleep.”

She pointed at the six miniature bronze cauldrons around her and said, “He gave me six of the Nine Cauldrons.”

Liu Yuan was stunned and subconsciously looked to the other side.

“W-what’s going on? What’s happening?”

Tang Yuanhua’s bewildered voice came from the side. His expression suddenly turned blank. He raised his head and looked at Liu Yuan and the others. He said, “What happened to me?”

He hissed and felt that something was wrong with his body. “Why do I feel like I’m seriously injured? I remember that I got Marrow-Cleansing Classic Scripture outside the library, and then… and then…”

“Then, you were possessed by the Martial Emperor’s remnant soul,” Liu Yuan said.

Tang Yuanhua looked at him in confusion. “Ah?”

But then, his expression suddenly turned into shock. He pointed behind Liu Yuan and said, “The stone tablet!”

Liu Yuan was stunned and turned to look at the stone tablet.

On the white jade-like stone body, words appeared one after another-

‘Ultimate Taiyi Dao, Last Act’

…

Just as Liu Yuan and the others were in shock…

They still did not know that once the Martial Emperor had broken the Nine Cauldrons Array formation in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb, there had been a huge commotion in the outside world.

The whirlpool in the Secret Realm was like a pivot of the barrier, while the barrier created by the Nine Cauldrons Array formation was like a bowl with an upper and lower portion.

One side of the island was isolated from the secret realm, while the other side was isolated from the spiritual Qi in the Martial Emperor cave’s tomb.

The spirit tide vortex was formed because spirit Qi had entered the mystic realm, and the Martial Emperor cave was also absorbing spirit Qi from the outside world. The two of them formed a force field in the shape of a funnel, and the thinnest part in the middle was where the nine Cauldrons had originally been.

The people in the Secret Realm did not feel anything. However, the spiritual tide in the Martial Emperor’s Toomb on the other side was surging. The movement caused by the absorption of the surrounding spiritual Qi was like the birth of a treasure in the Immortal cultivators’ perception.

The factions near the Northwest of the Central Plains had almost all been alarmed. When the first group of people arrived, an ancient tomb rumbled up from the river bank and appeared in front of the world.

The news of a large-scale Secret Realm appearing spread like wildfire. Not long after, the Green Centipede took the initiative to admit that this was the tomb of the Martial Emperor.

In an instant, the Central Plains was in an uproar.
