Chapter 486: Demon Monarch Dao Lineage

Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Demon Monarch Dao Lineage

"Immortal Master, what has happened?"

From another direction in the void, a graceful figure swiftly approached; the Jade Pool Divine Lady had arrived.

Her brows were also furrowed, appearing somewhat grave.

Evidently, the Jade Pool Divine Lady was likewise proficient in the Way of Cause and Effect and could deduce all things in the world.

However, earlier, when she used the Way of Cause and Effect to infer, she couldn’t deduce anything at all and almost suffered backlash from the Great Dao.

This incident marked the first time since she mastered the Way of Cause and Effect.

From this, it is evident that what is about to happen now is far more serious than imagined.

"The Demon Monarch Dao Lineage... is about to emerge!"

After a moment of contemplation, the Jade Pool Immortal Master’s bland voice echoed from above the void.

The voice, though not loud, clearly reached the ears of all present.

"Demon Monarch Dao Lineage!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

Including those Immortal Venerable level experts from various Noble Families and Ancient Immortal Sects, their eyes were filled with immense dread.

Demon Monarch!

In this vast Immortal Domain, throughout history, there is only one with this title.

That is the ’Wangtian Demon Monarch’ of two million years ago!

It is said that, at the start of his path to enlightenment, the Wangtian Demon Monarch showcased an invincible talent, overwhelming all contemporaries, thereby creating his own road of invincibility.

He was incredibly astonishing, a rare prodigy defying the heavens in the Immortal Domain throughout ancient times.

Furthermore, he was also a madman; it is said that, just when he attained sainthood, Wangtian Demon Monarch independently created several Holy Techniques, even later creating his own Ancient Scriptures upon becoming an emperor and immortal.

People believed that he might lead an era into a golden age.

But soon, everyone realized the situation was more complex than imagined.

On the day of proving the Dao and becoming immortal, for unknown reasons, Wangtian Immortal Monarch fell to madness, resulting in significant changes to his personality and temperament.

He became fond of slaughter and brutality.

From that day onward, countless living beings perished at his hand.

Since then, Wangtian Immortal Monarch has been deemed by the world as the Demon Monarch.

Acting at will, wherever he went, countless cultivators died miserably at his hand, whether a city was massacred or a sect annihilated.

It was a dark era that made everyone tremble with fear.

Various Noble Families and Ancient Immortal Sects were broken through by the Demon Monarch one by one.

In desperation, ultimately, these top forces joined together to collectively kill the Demon Monarch.

Under the starry sky, more than ten Immortal Masters of the time came forth, all wielding Ancestral Artifacts. Unfortunately, though battle raged fiercely, nearly ten perished, and more than half of the Ancestral Artifacts were destroyed.

Despite paying a tremendous price, fortunately, they caused the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage to be ultimately extinguished on that day.

Since then, the Immortal Domain has returned to its previous calm.

The Demon Monarch no longer poses any threat to the world.

In this manner, two million years have passed.

The world has nearly forgotten those dark years, but on this day, the Jade Pool Immortal Master deduced that the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage is about to be resurrected!

At this moment, anyone in the Jade Pool who heard this news couldn’t help but turn pale.

No one could maintain their composure.

Even though they hadn’t lived through the era with the Demon Monarch, simply learning some relevant information from ancient records was enough to make them feel the despair that people of that era experienced.

"Boom..."

Right at that moment, the amplitude of the tremors intensified significantly.

The entire Jade Pool Mountain Gate was shaking uncontrollably.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, in the distant earth, a streak of purple light rose from the sky, causing the whole world to lose its color.

Everyone could feel that within the purple light was an incredibly shocking aura of massacre, seemingly capable of destroying the world, causing people’s hearts to tremble involuntarily.

"Demon Monarch Dao Lineage!"

"This is impossible! Two million years ago, the Noble Families and Ancient Immortal Sects barely managed to jointly kill the Demon Monarch under the void; his lineage and legacy should surely have been extinguished, but why, after two million years..."

Countless people’s expressions changed, their gazes directed far toward the origin of the purple light.

"That location... seems to be in the direction of the ’Purple Spirit Mountain Range’?" Someone furrowed their brow and uttered this statement.

It is one of the few Forbidden Lands in the Immortal Domain, highly dangerous, known as the forbidden zone for all living things.

Throughout history, anyone who stepped into that region has faced certain death, with no one ever coming back alive.

"It is said that during the battle back then, nearly ten Immortal Masters perished, and more than half of the Ancestral Artifacts were destroyed. While they managed to suppress the Demon Monarch, causing him a fatal blow, they never actually managed to truly keep him, and ultimately, he escaped. Moreover, the direction in which he fled seems to be the Purple Spirit Mountain Range!" An elder spoke.

"Is it really the Demon Monarch’s legacy about to emerge in the Purple Spirit Mountain Range?"

Such speculation undoubtedly sent all present into a state of shock.

"Swish!"

Above the high sky, brilliance flickered, and the figure of a middle-aged man emerged. He was an Immortal Master from one of the Ancient Immortal Races, looking toward the direction of the Purple Spirit Mountain Range with a solemn expression, "Given the matter concerning the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage, everyone, please ensure the investigation is thorough. If the Demon Monarch’s legacy is truly about to surface, we must spare no effort to eradicate it; it must not be allowed to reappear in the world!"

After speaking, he took the lead, transforming into a Tunneling Light, heading toward the Purple Spirit Mountain Range.

Following this Immortal Master, more top experts appeared one after another, all transforming into rainbow lights, flying toward the distant sky.

"The gathering concludes here, and the Jade Pool Mountain Gate is about to close. I intend to head to the Purple Spirit Mountain Range to investigate this matter; everyone, please depart on your own."

The Jade Pool Immortal Master spoke, and after saying a few words to the Jade Pool Divine Lady, she transformed into a rainbow light, disappearing into the distant void.

"If the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage indeed surfaces, it might become a dreadful catastrophe for the world!"

Amidst discussions, people gradually left the Jade Pool, intending to spread this news everywhere.

Moreover, some top forces planned to directly seal their mountain gates, safely escorting their successors back, unwilling to let them go out recently to prevent any accidents.

At dusk, the sun sank into the sea of clouds.

After Ji Chen bid farewell to Li Huainan and others, he arrived at a spot on the Yaochi Back Mountain, standing alongside the Jade Pool Divine Lady outside an Ancient Cave.

"Your younger sister will be in seclusion for a while and won’t emerge, and if the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage truly appears, although it’s a major calamity for the world, our Jade Pool has the capability to protect itself. My lord doesn’t need to worry about your sister’s safety."

Ji Chen nodded, knowing the extraordinary nature of the Jade Pool; although the Demon Monarch Dao Lineage is terrifying, it does not mean the Demon Monarch is reborn in this world.

Even if such a lineage truly emerges, it will take years or even centuries to truly grow.
