The door opened.
It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.
The three great demons released three energy orbs and threw them into the door.
Gurgle.
The orbs rolled on the ground, illuminating the situation inside.
Ming Kun also focused his gaze, concentrating.
Lin Yu's consciousness attached to Ming Kun's body and followed his gaze.
Inside the door, it was a vast emptiness, with only a long corridor. Along the sides of the corridor stood rows of extinguished oil lamps.
The corridor was very long, leading to an unknown destination.
"Enter!" Ming Kun commanded inwardly.
Upon receiving Ming Kun's order, the three great demons did not dare to hesitate and stepped inside.
After entering, they immediately lit the surrounding oil lamps, instantly brightening the area.
The three great demons exchanged glances, smiled wryly, and proceeded further in.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!
In the quiet corridor, only the footsteps of the three great demons echoed.
They moved at a steady pace, and soon reached the end of the corridor.
Looking up, they saw a towering statue standing before them.
This was a statue thousands of meters high, resembling an alligator. A faint green light emanated from its back.
As if sensing the arrival of visitors, the statue's eyes shifted slightly.
This movement was extremely subtle, yet Ming Kun noticed it.
He said, "Shatter the statue!"
He wanted to see what this statue truly was.
Whatever could be hidden at the end of this corridor was likely not ordinary.
The three great demons, upon receiving the order, felt a pang of bitterness.
You are safe behind us, fearless, while we could perish with a single mistake!
However, they could not resist and could only grit their teeth and attack the statue.
Boom!
The full might of the three great demons' attack caused the very space to tremble.
Rumble!
The attack struck the statue, emitting a deafening roar.
Dust billowed, obscuring vision.
After a while, as the dust settled, they looked up and were shocked, silently retreating a few steps.
"It's completely unharmed! This is impossible!" one great demon exclaimed in disbelief.
The other two great demons also wore expressions of utter disbelief.
They had unleashed their full power, yet the impact on the statue was as if it were untouched. This filled them with unease.
An entity capable of completely withstanding their attacks was beyond the Golden Immortal realm.
Could it be... 138 Reading Network
They arrived at a terrifying conjecture.
If this conjecture held true, then escape would be impossible.
"Master, the statue is strange, possibly a Da Luo!"
Ming Kun nodded, his expression solemn. He secretly sensed his Da Luo-level jade pendant and the power of the Underworld Lord. He gritted his teeth.
Fortune favors the bold. If this statue could be slain, the rewards would be immense.
"Continue attacking! Do not stop!"
The command was given, and the three great demons dared not disobey, resuming their full-powered assaults.
Rumble!
Streams of power and light collided with the statue.
The statue trembled with each impact.
Suddenly, as if awakened, a hoarse voice echoed.
"Presumptuous!"
The voice descended like thunder from the heavens, causing the very space to vibrate.
The three great demons, their attacks unwavering, looked over.
They were immediately struck with terror as they saw the statue move.
Its alligator-like head turned, its eyes glowed green, and a pair of wings unfurled from its back.
"Puff!"
The wings stirred up a gale, whipping up a storm of dust.
"Roar!"
With a great roar, the statue began to transform, its stone form giving way to flesh and blood.
"You disturb my slumber, and I shall grant you death!"
The voice was majestic, instilling fear in all who heard it.
However, the three great demons were not minor figures; they had once been overlords in their own right, and their expressions remained unchanged.
They glanced back, awaiting Ming Kun's command.
Ming Kun was also slightly surprised.
"Who are you?" he asked, speaking through the body of one of the great demons.
Upon hearing this, the statue cast a cold gaze, snorted, and replied, "I am Gui Fangdi!"
"Hiss!"
As soon as the words fell, the great demons collectively inhaled sharply.
Ming Kun, having been born too late, understood little of these ancient events and was somewhat bewildered.
One great demon explained, "Master, Gui Fangdi was the Emperor of the Gui Fang Kingdom in ancient times. He was a Gui Di of the Da Luo realm!"
"However, it is rumored that this being died long ago under the siege of many lords. We do not know why he has revived here."
Another great demon added, "Master, he was killed before. This statue is likely not his complete form, perhaps merely a manifestation of his residual soul."
"Master, please tell us, what shall we do?"
They were all astute individuals, understanding that Ming Kun had the backing of the Underworld Lord. No matter what, Ming Kun would not perish.
In their minds, this battle was one Ming Kun was destined to win.
Ming Kun pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Attack!"
"Yes!"
Rumble!
The battle commenced.
Gui Fangdi's expression was frosty.
"Bold! I have not yet attacked you, and you dare to strike first? Very well, very well! I have not made a move in countless years, and you have become so audacious?"
He was furious.
He had once been an emperor of unparalleled authority, and now he was being offended by a group of juniors. How could he tolerate this?
He subtly moved the wings on his back.
Instantly, green light transformed into fan-shaped energy waves, surging towards them.
"World-Ending Wind!"
Boom!
This wind was incredibly potent, annihilating everything in its path.
As it blew closer, the three great demons' expressions drastically changed.
"Do not be touched by this wind, or we shall all perish!"
This wind could corrode everything, turning anything it swept over into nothingness.
The three demons, unwilling to yield, unleashed their powers to counter the World-Ending Wind.
Rumble!
As the two forces clashed, four distinct colors of energy collided, creating immense explosions.
However, the three demons soon found themselves unable to hold on. Their power was dispersed in a single blow.
Boom!
The World-Ending Wind swept past, lightly brushing against the three demons. Instantly, a portion of their bodies vanished.
"My goodness, this wind is too powerful!"
"Quick, retreat! Fortunately, only our physical bodies are damaged, our souls are unharmed!"
"Our bodies have mostly dissipated, but it's not a fatal blow. However, with this wind being so powerful, how shall we cope?"
The three demons were filled with despair.
They did not know what to do.
Thus, they cast the problem back to Ming Kun.
Ming Kun pondered for a moment, then said, "Lure him out!"
The three demons were stunned, not understanding the reasoning behind this command.
Was Ming Kun not afraid?
However, their master had given the order, and they dared not disobey.
So, the three demons began the task of luring their foe.
Perhaps the monster had slept for too long, becoming somewhat impatient, and was easily provoked by the three demons.
"Old monster, this is no longer your era. You have awakened only to be a mere bystander!"
"Old monster, this place is too confined. If we were outside, I would surely kill you!"
"Hmph, a mere ancient relic, what can you achieve even if you awaken?"
The three demons' taunts infuriated Gui Fangdi.
"You speak recklessly and court death!"
