Chapter 1458 Who is the Demon Lord?
【really?】
The world-destroying millstone, which had been silent for so long, finally began to give feedback.
Chen Mobai's eyes lit up immediately. He told Bai Guang to take the Extinction Axe and walk a little further away, indicating that he wanted to study it some more. Then he continued to activate the Cantong Qi and began to receive this rare response.
[It's absolutely true, I can write it down.]
However, after these words were sent, the World-Destroying Millstone remained silent, making Chen Mobai almost think that he had imagined it.
After a long pause, the World-Destroying Millstone said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know how to leave this place either. Since I became conscious, everyone who enters this place either leaves quickly or dies of old age..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai's vision went black.
It turns out that this world-destroying millstone is also incomplete, probably because the spirit of the artifact has been reincarnated as the Demon Lord, and now only the most basic spirituality remains.
Chen Mobai: [How did those who got out get out?]
Chen Mobai could only communicate with the World-Destroying Millstone step by step, hoping it could find a way from its past successful experiences.
I don't know either. It seems like there's some kind of mechanism on me that automatically sends me away when I receive the power of the Great Dao at a certain level.
The words of the World-Destroying Millstone corroborated what the Heavenly Axe of Annihilation had said earlier: as long as one possesses seventh-order power, one can leave this place.
The problem is that neither he nor Bai Guang can generate this power in a short period of time.
If only I had known, I wouldn't have wasted the power of the Celestial Measuring Ruler.
Chen Mobai felt extremely regretful. Although the power of the Taixu Measuring Ruler was not much after he entered the Primordial Heaven, it was still at least at the seventh level. If he hadn't overestimated himself and fought against the Extinction Axe, he would probably have already returned home with the white light.
"How about I send you the videos of those people who left before? Can you look for the pattern?" At this moment, the spirit of the World-Destroying Mill spoke again.
Chen Mobai was somewhat surprised: "You still keep these?"
The Great Millstone of Destruction: [I've been here for hundreds of millions of years without moving. Out of sheer boredom, all I can do is recall the beings I've encountered in the past.]
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai sensed that something was amiss.
It has remained motionless for hundreds of millions of years!
Doesn't that mean that the Great Millstone of Annihilation has been here since the creation of the Purple Heaven Universe?
But wasn't it said that the spirit of the artifact has been reincarnated as the Demon Lord?
If the current spirituality is a reincarnation of the Demon Lord, it shouldn't have such distant memories.
【Then send it over, I'll take a look first.】
With doubts lingering in his mind, Chen Mobai could only hope to find the answer in the ancient video preserved by the World-Destroying Mill.
Soon, the first video was transmitted to Chen Mobai's sea of consciousness through the Cantongqi.
Since it gained consciousness, the Great Millstone of Annihilation has been here, constantly turning and absorbing the primordial energy from all around. At the very center of the millstone, however, a dark red lotus flower has taken root.
However, the bud of this red lotus was closed, seemingly unable to bloom due to a lack of nutrients.
The first person to find this place was a Taoist priest in purple robes.
The Taoist priest stepped onto the Golden Bridge of Creation, cleaved through the primordial chaos, and arrived before the inconspicuous gray-white stone mill and the red lotus. After a glance, his face showed surprise. He then calculated with his fingers, first realizing the truth, then frowning, and finally sighing. He took the red lotus and left the place.
After reading it, Chen Mobai immediately bowed respectfully in the air.
Because this purple-robed Taoist is none other than the Purple Cloud Taoist Venerable.
"Do you know this person?" The World-Destroying Millstone asked curiously when it saw Chen Mobai's actions.
"This is my master," Chen Mobai said solemnly.
"No wonder you were able to find this place." Chen Mobai was very surprised by the words of the World-Destroying Mill, but he quickly understood what it meant.
Because the second video has already been sent.
The second person to find the World-Destroying Millstone was the eldest disciple of Zixiao Palace, Daoist Yixing.
At this time, the Primordial Heaven, where the Great Millstone of Annihilation was located, had already appeared, probably because the Purple Cloud Daoist had already opened up the Primordial Chaos and the universe had taken shape.
Chen Mobai guessed that the One-Star Daoist had obtained the information from the Purple Cloud Daoist and thus found this place.
After the One-Star Daoist entered, he sat down in front of the World-Destroying Millstone and carefully studied its three thousand faces. Chen Mobai clearly saw the Great Dao Dharma Image above its head begin to evolve continuously, from the original brilliant starry river to an endless black hole, and finally to a deep abyss that devoured everything.
The Demon Lord is a one-star senior brother!?
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai was greatly alarmed.
Because the properties of this black hole are almost identical to those of the black hole he entered from the outside before.
The video ended after the One-Star Daoist transformed the Great Dao into the Abyss.
"Is there more?" Chen Mobai pressed.
The Great Millstone of Annihilation: [That's all. The next video is also about that Taoist's disciple.]
Hearing this, Chen Mobai could only put aside his shock and continue watching the third video.
This time, it was the Second Senior Brother, Compassion, who came before the Great Millstone of Annihilation.
Like the One-Star Daoist, he comprehended the three thousand faces of the World-Destroying Millstone and ultimately grasped the Dharma of the Great Free Emperor.
The video ends here as well.
Chen Mobai then looked at the fourth one and found it was the First Emperor.
Next is the fifth one, Tianhai riding a turtle.
Then came the sixth and final video.
Just as Chen Mobai was guessing whether it was reincarnation or the Heavenly Phoenix, he discovered that it was a red-haired youth.
He naturally recognized him as the red-haired senior brother who sat in the second row of Zixiao Palace.
Unexpectedly, Shanks not only obtained the Gate of Primordial Beginning, but also found the Great Millstone of Annihilation.
Or perhaps the existence of this world-destroying millstone was mentioned by Daoist Zixiao during his lectures, which is why so many disciples of Zixiao Palace were able to find it.
So the question is coming?
Who exactly is the Demon Lord?
Previously, Chen Mobai thought it was the reincarnation of the spirit of the World-Destroying Millstone, but after watching these videos, Chen Mobai felt that it might be a senior brother or sister from Zixiao Palace who had fallen into demonic possession.
Also, what was that red lotus that was taken away by Daoist Zixiao but had not yet bloomed?
At this moment, the last video also came to an end. The red-haired man summoned the Gate of Primordial Beginning, wanting to use the power of this innate treasure to merge with the Great Dao of the End of Fortune and attain the Pure Yang Realm.
The video did not show the red-haired result.
It's possible that the righteous path will fail, or it's possible that the fusion with the final destiny will succeed, and one will ascend to become the Demon Lord.
Chen Mobai recalled all the scenes in his mind and found that the ones who best met the Demon Lord's requirements were the One-Star Daoist and the Red-Haired Man.
No wonder the True King of Taixu avoided discussing the Demon Lord's matter last time.
It turns out to be a family scandal.
However, Chen Mobai still felt that this matter should not be kept from him, after all, he was now also a disciple of Daoist Zixiao.
"So, have you found a way out?"
At this moment, Bai Guang, who had recovered, walked to Chen Mobai's side, pointed at the World-Destroying Millstone, and asked.
"I have a clue. I'll talk to it properly."
Chen Mobai gave a signal with his eyes, and Bai Guang nodded, waving the Annihilation Axe in his hand.
The Great Millstone of Annihilation trembled slightly.
Both being innate treasures, even a treasure destined for ruin couldn't withstand the axe that wielded destruction.
[Senior, is there any other way to get out?]
Chen Mobai continued to communicate using the Cantongqi and the World-Destroying Millstone. Although he didn't know if the videos he had just seen were real or fake, the most urgent and crucial thing was to leave this place.
If the information obtained from the Primordial Heaven can be transmitted to me, I will certainly have a way to verify it.
Moreover, Chen Mobai realized that this might be the deepest secret hidden by the various pure Yang powerhouses in this universe after the Purple Cloud Dao Venerable transcended and left.
There really aren't any more. Only these few were able to leave before.
The World-Destroying Millstone was somewhat helpless. Ever since Bai Guang was brought in, she would vent her frustration by hacking at it with the Annihilation Axe, causing it excruciating pain. Now that it had finally managed to send her away, it dared not hide anything from her.
"In that case, I'm afraid we can only wait until my wife merges with the Dao and is destroyed. At that time, I estimate she can directly use the Heavenly Axe of Annihilation to completely cleave you in two."
Chen Mobai also looked helpless and conveyed this message using the Cantongqi.
The Great Millstone of Annihilation trembled again upon imagining this scene.
A moment later, it made a suggestion that made Chen Mobai's eyes widen: "Why don't you try refining me?"
This Primordial Heaven is a special secret realm formed by the combination of the Great Millstone of Annihilation and the Primordial Chaos Qi that created the universe.
Although there are many entrances, many demonic cultivators who have reached the seventh level of cultivation only stop at the Kaleidoscope of the Great Dao and are unable to comprehend the Primordial Truth and enter here.
Previously, whether it was One Star or Compassion, they had clearly comprehended the true meaning of the ninth level of the demonic path from the Great Millstone of Annihilation. Coupled with their own profound realm, they were able to leave easily.
Given that Chen Mobai and Bai Guang did not meet the requirements, the World-Destroying Millstone, in order to avoid being chopped up by Bai Guang after he merged with the Dao in the future, thought that if Chen Mobai refined him, he could control the entire Primordial Heaven and perhaps be able to come and go freely.
Is this... feasible?
Chen Mobai was both surprised and delighted. After all, he already had the Zixiao Palace. If he were to refine the World-Destroying Millstone and attain the two innate Great Daos of Pure Yang and End-of-Day Fortune, it would be entirely within his control.
The only obstacle is the mysterious Demon Lord.
After all, the Great Dao of the End of the Universe has been occupied.
[Try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll see if I can quickly get you, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Demon, to the seventh rank in the shortest amount of time.]
After the Great Millstone of Annihilation replied with these words, it suddenly began to spin on its own. The face representing the Yin-Yang Heavenly Demon among its three thousand faces lit up, transforming into Yin and Yang energies that enveloped Chen Mobai's entire body.
"what?"
Bai Guang, who was standing nearby, was shocked when he saw this scene. He thought that Chen Mobai was going to be harmed by the millstone, so he picked up the Extinction Axe and was about to swing it.
"Madam, please stop. I am trying to refine this world-destroying millstone to see if I can control the Primordial Heaven."
Fortunately, the refining process was initiated by the World-Destroying Millstone, and Chen Mobai still had the mind to pay attention to his surroundings. Upon seeing the white light's movements, he immediately called for a halt.
Before Bai Guang had even refined the Heavenly Axe of Annihilation, he exerted all his strength to slightly deflect the axe's direction, striking the edge of the Great Millstone of Annihilation and carving a bottomless crevice into the earth's mountain range.
Seeing this scene of the world-destroying millstone made Chen Mobai refine himself even faster.
Furthermore, Chen Mobai had already used the Cantong Qi at this time, and with the combined efforts of the two, he quickly imprinted his mark on this innate treasure.
Compared to Zixiao Palace, this world-destroying trial was not so smooth.
After all, the path to doom represented by this treasure has already been seized by the Demon Lord.
As long as the Demon Lord doesn't appear, one can use this World-Destroying Millstone to wield the power of the Great Dao of the End Times, becoming equivalent to a Primordial Dao Lord. However, if the Demon Lord does appear, he can simply snap his fingers and the World-Destroying Millstone will fly back into his hand, rendering Chen Mobai's refinement useless.
A complete innate treasure is a whole Great Dao. For example, the Gate of the Void or the Purple Cloud Palace. But if one wants to advance further, one must shed the original form in order to advance to the Pure Yang Realm, or even the Ninth Order of Creation.
The reason why the Demon Lord was thought to be the reincarnation of the spirit of the Great Millstone of Annihilation was because the Demon Lord merged with the Great Dao of the End of Fortune and broke through the shackles of the Innate Treasure, thus possessing the eighth-order realm.
After Chen Mobai refined the World-Destroying Millstone, he discovered that this innate treasure had lost some of its memories for a period of time.
Perhaps the truth about the Demon Lord lies within this.
Don't you remember this missing period of time?
Chen Mobai asked the World-Destroying Millstone with his mind, but the latter was used to it.
[I am merely a Primordial Treasure, and although I am at the eighth rank, I am still helpless against a Pure Yang Grandmaster. I suspect that after your senior brothers and sisters comprehended the Primordial Truth from me, they didn't want others to know how profound their attainments in the demonic path were, so they deliberately erased it.]
After hearing what the World-Destroying Millstone said, Chen Mobai felt that it made a lot of sense.
At the end of the demonic path, the secrets of the ninth-order primordial state are recorded on the Great Millstone of Annihilation, which is why it attracted a powerful being of the first-star level from the Purple Cloud Palace to come and comprehend it.
I just don't understand why, when Daoist Zixiao had already found the World-Destroying Millstone, he didn't seal it.
After all, the Primordial Way is completely different from the Xuanmen Creation, and it requires the destruction of the world.
If people like Yixing see no hope for their future, they might fall into the demonic path to seek the Primordial Beginning.
[Our teacher's skill is unparalleled. Since he left behind the World-Destroying Millstone and allowed Senior Brother Yixing and the others to find it, there must be a reason.]
After thinking it over, Chen Mobai decided that given his own level of cultivation, it was best not to speculate about the already transcendent Zixiao Daozun.
If you have any questions, you can ask them when you see the True King of the Void after you leave.
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai opened his eyes.
As he slowly rose, a beam of light suddenly shone from the center of the world-destroying millstone before him, reaching the heavens and the earth.
"what happened?"
Bai Guang, standing to the side, looked surprised at the commotion.
At the same time, the spirit of the Annihilation Axe, the White Wolf, flew out again. Seeing Chen Mobai reach into the beam of light, as if lifting a curtain and opening a door, the wolf's eyes widened in surprise.
"Madam, I'll take you home."
After Chen Mobai activated the World-Destroying Millstone and opened the portal to leave the Primordial Heaven, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards the white light.
Bai Guang gave him a bright smile and took his hand.
