Ch. 1719 - Today I, Zhen Wu, Establish My Lineage; Lin Comes To Pay Homage

At this moment, above the Shattered Demon Sea, only two figures remained.

Xu Zimo and the demon corpse.

Xu Zimo appeared small, while the demon corpse was incomparably massive, forming a stark contrast.

Xu Zimo let out a sigh.

He knew the identity of this demon corpse.

Perhaps no one was more familiar with it than he was.

Among the demon race, aside from the Infernal Archons, there were actually four Infernal Guardians.

One of those four Guardians was Lin.

The status of a Guardian was even higher than that of an Infernal Archon.

This was because the weakest among the Infernal Guardians already began at the Infinite Dao realm.

Among them were even existences at the Three Blossoms realm.

“Why did you end up like this?” Xu Zimo sighed.

Within the Shattered Demon Sea, that black seawater was not something else.

It was Ancient Demon blood.

That’s right. Lin’s black blood had dyed this entire sea, and even after countless ages, it still had not dissipated.

“I was sleeping, waiting for the day when the demons would descend again,” Lin said seriously.

As he opened his mouth, in an instant, the Shattered Demon Sea began to churn.

Countless waves rolled violently, thunderous sounds echoing without end.

To everyone’s horror, they discovered that all of this seawater was being swallowed by Lin.

With roaring splashes, an immeasurable sea spanning tens of billions of miles, boundless and endless, was swallowed just like that, as if into a bottomless pit.

Of course, this required some time.

But the demon corpse seemed never to feel full. The black demon sea was continuously absorbed.

The seawater stirred up the winds and clouds across the sky.

Whether it was prehistoric creatures or floating islands, all of them were dragged down and submerged.

“Run!” On the side of Treasure Buddha Demon Court, many people began struggling in panic.

Unfortunately, no matter who they were, they were all swallowed by the surging seawater.

Once touched by the demon sea, one would be melted away, leaving not even bones or flesh behind.

All the power within the body would be completely devoured.

Treasure Buddha Demon Court had been established on the Shattered Demon Sea for a very long time.

They thought they could absorb the demon sea’s power to cultivate.

In the end, they had merely been making wedding clothes for another.

Their bones ceased to exist. Along with their lives, everything was returned to the demon corpse.

As everyone struggled and the Shattered Demon Sea visibly shrank before their eyes, all could clearly feel it.

The aura on Lin’s body was growing stronger and stronger.

It even felt as if he were coming back to life.

Because prior to this, he had merely been a corpse, truly nothing more than a dead body.

“What kind of divine ability is this?” San Dao said in shock.

“To allow a corpse that has been dead for countless ages to revive again?”

“Stealing heaven and replacing the sun,” the True Martial Progenitor said with interest from atop True Martial Mountain.

Of course, this was merely curiosity on his part.

He was not truly interested.

Although this method could indeed grant longevity, by entrusting one’s blood to heaven and earth, emptying the flesh, and putting the soul into slumber, it could greatly reduce the consumption of life force.

But the True Martial Progenitor did not need such things.

Because he intended to slay the heavens.

Those who defy the heavens either succeed or die.

There is no third path.

Thus, the True Martial Progenitor merely watched the demon corpse with curiosity.

…

At this moment, the bottomless Shattered Demon Sea was being completely absorbed by Lin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This left everyone utterly astonished.

Around Lin’s body, endless demonic energy surged and roared.

He dropped to one knee.

Looking at Xu Zimo, he said solemnly, “Master, Lin will obey your commands.”

His eyes were filled with devotion.

Like the gaze of one paying homage.

“Why did you fall here?” Xu Zimo asked.

“In that great battle, we ultimately lost,” Lin sighed.

“When the Primordial Demon Cave was sealed and exiled, I was fortunate. I was hidden outside at the time and was not exiled. But back then, they launched a demon-cleansing campaign. They sought to exterminate all Ancient Demons across the Nine Heavens. I was ambushed and eventually besieged. So I chose this method of feigned death.”

Lin’s expression carried both anger and resignation.

“The great cause of defying the heavens was not yet complete. How could I fall?”

“It seems many things happened back then,” Xu Zimo sighed.

He waved his hand.

The entrance to the God World appeared in the void.

“Go in. Some old friends are still waiting to catch up with you.”

The old friends Xu Zimo referred to were naturally Paimon and the other Infernal Archons.

…

After subduing Lin, Xu Zimo looked at the now-empty Shattered Demon Sea.

Treasure Buddha Demon Court had also been dealt with.

He believed that at this moment, countless eyes were focused on this place.

Countless gazes were fixed on True Martial Sacred Ground.

Many forces had already begun investigating their origins.

This was the first time True Martial Sacred Ground had established its authority since arriving in the Upper Heavens.

And this display of might could be considered a success.

It had intimidated many people, and petty forces no longer dared to act rashly.

Next, True Martial Sacred Ground needed to lie low for a period of time.

Moreover, the True Martial Progenitor and the others also had to begin preparing for the Heaven-Defying War.

After all, defying the heavens was not just empty words.

Nor was it something a few people could accomplish by charging in blindly.

They had to combine timing, terrain, and people, and use the most secure method to challenge the heavens.

…

Xu Zimo returned to True Martial Mountain.

The True Martial Progenitor said, “First, we need to find a place where the sect can be established. Choose a location to build the sect.”

“When we were annihilating sects earlier, didn’t we pass by an ancient forest?” San Dao said.

“The spirit energy there is rich, and the climate is pleasant. In my view, with just some simple adjustments, it would be suitable for habitation.”

“I agree as well, but the forces in the Upper Heavens are complex. We should first understand the situation of the region we’re currently in,” the Radiant Progenitor added.

Everyone knew that the near-infinite Upper Heavens were composed of four heavens.

After some investigation, Xu Zimo came to understand the situation.

This region was called Grand Desolate Heaven.

It lay in the northern part of the Upper Heavens and was a world inhabited by the Primal God Race.

Simply put, this place was ruled by the Primal God Race.

Do not be fooled by the former prominence of Vast Ocean Dao Domain or Treasure Buddha Demon Court.

Despite their fame and power, they were nothing more than ants beneath the Primal God Race’s palm.

No matter how wildly they struggled, they could not escape the rule of the Primal God Race.

In Grand Desolate Heaven, the Primal God Race held supreme power.

The Primal God Race resided here, forming the Divine Court. Almost all powerful members of the Primal God Race held positions within it.

As for the weaker members of the Primal God Race, they established forces within Grand Desolate Heaven to seek their own development.

The forest chosen for the establishment of True Martial Sacred Ground was called the Myriad Beasts Forest.

This place was a paradise for demonic beasts. Long ago, it had already been occupied by them.

It was very difficult for humans to enter.

…

On this day, the Myriad Beasts Forest, which had been calm for countless years, was finally disturbed.

A towering mountain peak descended from the void and came to rest within the forest.

“I, Zhen Wu, from today onward, establish our sect here. We will begin recruiting disciples. All demonic beasts must make way and leave a path for my disciples to pass.”
