Chapter 1212
The True Face
"I am already about to die, but I do not want my inheritance to end here. You have already practiced my Grand Demonic Battle Art, and you possess Grand Demonic Battle Qi. My inheritance is perfect for you," the Grand Demonic Lord coughed a few times and said in an extremely weak voice.
Zhuowen's eyes flickered when he heard that, especially when he saw the hopeful look in the Grand Demonic Lord's eyes. Zhuowen nodded and bowed. "I do not dare forget senior's kindness."
The Grand Demon Lord nodded in a gratified manner. He smiled, "Come before me and sit down. I'll pass on all my cultivation experiences to you first. These experiences will be much more precious to your future path of demonic cultivation. Without a doubt, it will make your path much smoother."
Zhuowen nodded and arrived before the Grand Demonic Lord. He sat down and stared at the Grand Demonic Lord, who had become much older. He sighed inside. The Grand Demonic Lord was definitely a legendary existence in the Panicked Great World, yet he had been reduced to such a state. It really made one sigh.
The Grand Demonic Lord also saw the sigh on Zhuowen's face. He shook his head and smiled in a carefree manner. "Everyone will die one day. Just who in this world can live forever and obtain eternity?"
Zhuowen nodded. The Grand Demonic Lord was right. Just who in this world could live forever?
Even warriors of the Imperial Power Realm and even the Pilgrimage Realm would die of old age. They just had a longer lifespan than ordinary warriors and were more powerful. However, it was still impossible to achieve eternity.
"Open your mind. I will pass on all my experiences to you," the Grand Demonic Lord said in a deep voice.
Zhuowen's eyes flickered when he heard that. He hesitated for a moment. Although the Grand Demonic Lord did not seem to have any ill intentions, Zhuowen still felt that it was inappropriate for him to open his mind in front of another cultivator.
However, there was nothing wrong with what the Grand Demonic Lord had said. If the Grand Demonic Lord wanted to pass on his experiences and information, he needed to open his mind and allow his power to enter his sea of consciousness.
"Zhuowen!
I do not have much time left … "The Grand Demonic Lord coughed a few more times. His voice became even weaker and stuttered.
Zhuowen nodded. In the end, he chose to believe the Grand Demonic Lord. He closed his eyes and opened his mind. A gleam of light erupted from the Grand Demonic Lord's eyes. Subsequently, he extended two fingers of his right hand and landed on Zhuowen's forehead. Energy surged into Zhuowen's forehead.
Zhuo Wen felt a chill between his eyebrows. Then, a huge amount of information surged into his sea of consciousness. This information was basically the Grand Demon Lord's experiences over the years of demonic cultivation.
Only when he read through the information did Zhuo Wen truly relax. Clearly, the Grand Demon Lord had not lied to him. He truly did plan on passing on all his years of experience as a demonic cultivator to him.
The Grand Demonic Lord had passed on an extremely large amount of information. Zhuowen estimated that he would need half an incense stick of time to pass on everything. Therefore, he was in no hurry. He quietly waited and digested the information in his sea of consciousness.
After half an incense stick of time, Zhuowen had basically completely opened his mind. At the same time, he continued to comprehend the information and experiences the Grand Demonic Lord had passed on to him. However, he did not realise that a sharp, cold light had erupted from the Grand Demonic Lord's eyes at some unknown point in time. He formed a seal with his empty left hand, and the black Qi on his face gathered at the fingertips of his left hand.
Boom!
Afterward, the Grand Demonic Lord's left hand shot out as if he had teleported. He pressed it against Zhuowen's chest, and the dense black Qi instantly burrowed into Zhuowen's body like a black python.
"Hmm?"
Zhuo Wen felt his chest tighten. His eyes snapped open, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at the Grand Demon Lord in front of him. Only then did he discover that the Grand Demon Lord's empty left hand had pressed against his chest at some unknown time. Wave after wave of pitch-black energy surged into his body like a rainbow.
"What are you doing?"
Zhuowen had already discovered that something was amiss. He roared out furiously, and the energy within him erupted in an overwhelming manner in an attempt to blast the Grand Demonic Lord away.
However, the moment Zhuowen's energy surged out, it was forcefully suppressed by the black energy that had invaded his body. He was unable to use it at all.
"It's useless. The poisonous gas of the Demonfall Powder is extremely tolerant. It can even disperse energy," the Grand Demonic Lord sneered. His voice was as ear-piercing as an owl's.
Zhuowen's eyes turned cold. He finally realised that the black Qi the Grand Demonic Lord had injected into his body was the poisonous gas of the Demonfall Powder.
"Why are you doing this?" Zhuowen's eyes became colder and colder.
However, the Grand Demonic Lord smiled. He said indifferently, "Zhuowen, you're still so naive. I've cultivated for several hundred years. How can I be willing to die like this?
I want to break through to an even higher level of cultivation and reach the legendary upper world. Dying like this would be far too much of a pity. "
"So you've set your sights on me?" Zhuowen growled.
With that, Zhuowen roared out furiously. Immediately, the Buddhist and Demonic Zhuowen behind him shot out towards the Grand Demonic Lord at the same time. Due to the Demonfall Powder, he was unable to use any strength at all. He could only rely on his Buddhist and Demonic clones.
"Have you forgotten that I have two clones?"
Zhuowen said coldly. He actually did not fear the Grand Demonic Lord because he possessed two clones. After all, the Grand Demonic Lord was already on the verge of death.
However, the Grand Demonic Lord revealed a strange smile. He said, "How could I forget?"
As he spoke, the Grand Fiend Lord raised his head slightly. He stared at the two clones calmly. When the two clones were about to approach the Grand Fiend Lord, the demonic clone suddenly froze. Afterwards, he suddenly threw a demonic punch. However, he did not throw it at the Grand Fiend Lord. Instead, he threw it at the Buddhist clone beside him.
Boom!
Caught off guard, the Buddhist clone was directly struck by the Demonic Lord's clone. He was sent flying and heavily smashed into the stone wall to the side. The powerful impact caused the entire hall to shake violently.
"Hmm?
What's going on? "
Zhuo Wen's pupils constricted when he saw this scene. Just now, his demonic avatar had actually broken free from his control and suddenly attacked his Buddhist avatar.
"Haha!
Do you still not understand?
When I helped your Demonic Lord break through in the pool of blood, I was already preparing for this, "said the Grand Demonic Lord.
The Grand Demonic Lord enjoyed seeing the shock on Zhuowen's face. He could not help but chuckle aloud.
Zhuowen's face was extremely ugly. As it turned out, the Grand Demonic Lord had already been scheming against him at the bottom of the pool of blood. It was laughable that he had believed the Grand Demonic Lord was sincerely helping him. However, what surprised him was how the Grand Demonic Lord had managed to control his Demonic Lord's clone.
"Your Demonic Lord's body is very perfect. It's basically made for me. If I use the Demonic Lord's clone, I believe I can create even more glorious strength," the Grand Demonic Lord glanced at the expressionless Demonic Lord beside him and smiled faintly.
"Everything you said to me before was a lie?" Zhuowen said coldly.
The Grand Demonic Lord teased, "If I didn't say that, would you have fallen for it?
Would you have wholeheartedly helped me deal with the Capricorn? "
Zhuowen's face had become terrifyingly sunken. The Grand Demonic Lord was truly a great schemer. He had failed to discover anything earlier, which had led to him taking a huge tumble.
"Now, your original body will be the vessel for the Demonfall Powder in my body."
The Grand Demonic Lord's lips curled into a cruel arc. Soon after, the black aura in his left hand became even denser. It basically surged into Zhuowen's body like a spiral, causing Zhuowen to vomit blood again. A sliver of black aura slowly appeared on his face, and his facial features became slightly blurry under the black aura.
The black aura on the Grand Demonic Lord's face gradually dimmed, and his facial features became clearer. Clearly, the Demonfall Powder was not an incurable poison. At the very least, the Grand Demonic Lord could transfer it to someone else to break free from the Demonfall Powder.
"Bastard!"
Zhuowen's eyes burned with fury, but there was nothing he could do. Basically all his energy had been suppressed by the Grand Demonic Lord through a strange method, using the Demonfall Powder that had surged into his body. As a result, he was unable to use any of his strength at all.
Swoosh!
The Buddhist avatar rushed out from the stone wall and pounced forward once more. Unfortunately, it was intercepted by the Demonic avatar. The great battle between the Buddhist and Demonic avatars erupted with intense energy. However, Zhuo Wen's Demonic avatar had already advanced to the Demon Emperor realm, while the Buddhist avatar was only at the peak of the Empyrean realm. Thus, the Buddhist avatar was suppressed by the Demonic avatar as soon as it came into contact with the Demonic avatar.
However, the buddhist clone's body had yet to reach the level of indestructibility, so it really was rather difficult for the demonic clone to kill the buddhist clone.
"Kid!
Calm down. In your current situation, there might be other ways to deal with it. "
Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang out, causing Zhuowen to gradually calm down. He frowned and said, "Xiao Hei, my original body has been sealed, and the demonic clone has been controlled by the Grand Demonic Lord. Is there another way?"
"Of course there is a way. Wait until this old guy finishes transferring the poison from the Devilfall Powder. He should be planning to seize your demonic doppelganger. At that time, it will be your only chance to counterattack. But now, you need to wait patiently," Blackie said lightly.
Zhuowen frowned when he heard that. In the end, he believed Xiao Hei's suggestion. The fury in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by indifference.
"Hmm?"
The Grand Demonic Lord also noticed the change in Zhuowen's expression. Although he was slightly surprised, he did not pay too much attention to it. He believed that Zhuowen had accepted his fate, which was why the fury in his eyes had vanished.
When the last strand of Demonfall Powder entered Zhuowen's body, the black mist on Zhuowen's face had become so dense that his facial features were no longer visible. The Grand Demonic Lord slowly stood up and shook his sleeve. Black demonic energy surged out, turning into a black rope that bound Zhuowen.
