“Don’t show off! If I’m not mistaken, your Taotie bloodline has not yet fully awakened. It must be because you have been sealed for too long and have some congenital deficiencies. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be unable to defeat the Burning Sky Demon Emperor!”
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
"The Burning Sky Demon Emperor? What the hell is he? If this emperor wasn't in such bad shape, I would have knocked him down long ago!"
The old goat seemed to have his tail stepped on, and said angrily.
“Hmph, when I have refined this pool of blood essence and fully awakened my Taotie bloodline, I will go out and find that Burning Sky Demon Emperor and beat him so badly that his mother won’t even recognize him!”
The old goat said indignantly.
"Alright, alright, go and accept the inheritance! I'll protect you!"
Ling Xiao glared at him.
The old goat was optimistic by nature, so Ling Xiao changed the subject. After this round of jokes, the old goat's depressed mood slowly recovered, and Ling Xiao felt slightly relieved.
whoosh!
The old goat suddenly flashed with light and turned into the shape of a goat. It flew directly into the pool of blood and began to accept the inheritance.
Boom!
The blood pool was ancient and mysterious. When the old goat entered the blood pool, a surge of blood energy suddenly spread out and submerged the old goat in an instant.
Runes intertwined, wisps of divine light lingered, and the blood pool was surging with huge waves, as if it was burning and began to boil.
A fierce and overwhelming aura spread out, and the heaven and earth shook on all sides, as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened, emitting a tremendous evil spirit.
Buzz!
Above the blood pool, a blood-colored Taotie slowly emerged, as if it was transformed by the power of laws, containing an unparalleled divine power that could swallow the sky and devour the earth.
The old goat seemed to have fallen into a state of enlightenment. As the vast blood force poured into his body, he began to comprehend the inherited magical powers of Taotie.
"Is this... the aura of the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Technique?"
Ling Xiao's eyes were shocked. He saw the blood-colored Taotie in the blood pool. Runes were lingering around it. It seemed as if there was a vast world around it, devouring the essence of heaven and earth from all directions.
That mysterious aura was exactly the fluctuations emitted by the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art.
Ling Xiao's Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art has been cultivated to the third level, and he has condensed the Heaven-Swallowing King Cauldron, but he needs to explore the next path on his own.
The fourth level of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Sea, Ling Xiao had a vague premonition that if he could condense the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Sea in the Supreme Realm, it might be of great benefit to his breakthrough to the Divine Realm.
However, it is very difficult to condense the Sky-Swallowing Divine Sea. In his previous life, Ling Xiao became the number one supreme being in the world, but he was not able to condense the Sky-Swallowing Divine Sea.
And the blood-colored Taotie in front of him seemed to display the secret of the Heaven-Swallowing Art to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stared at the bloody Taotie and felt that his comprehension of the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art began to advance by leaps and bounds.
At the same time, he was also consolidating his cultivation, breaking through from the King Realm all the way to the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm. Although he had absorbed the essence of the thunder tribulation, Ling Xiao still needed to consolidate and strengthen his martial arts foundation.
Just as Old Goat and Ling Xiao were accepting the inheritance in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, a storm was brewing outside the Holy Ruins.
The Burning Sky Demon Emperor was defeated by Ling Xiao, and the news that the Demon Saint's inheritance was obtained by an old goat that had never been heard of spread throughout the entire Savage Demon Territory in an instant.
At the entrance of the Holy Ruins, a group of powerful men with terrifying auras, cold faces and burning murderous intent had set up a net to trap Ling Xiao and the Old Goat.
There are powerful monsters here, but there are more powerful ones from the holy lands of martial arts!
The strong ones of the demon clan were unwilling to see the inheritance of the Demon Saint fall into the hands of an old goat, so they wanted to catch the old goat before it grew up and take away the inheritance of the Demon Saint!
The strong men from those holy places of martial arts, including the Star Palace, the Southern Sky Family, the Emperor's Tomb Mountain, the Treasure Pavilion, etc., all had peerless geniuses who fell in the Holy Ruins and were killed by Ling Xiao.
This was a matter that shocked the entire God of War Continent. Gou Chen Xingzi, Nan Tianwang, the Second and Sixth Saint Sons of Emperor Mu Mountain, Zhang Xuhao, Yan Luo, etc., were all top-notch warriors who were famous throughout the God of War Continent, and yet they were killed by Ling Xiao just like that.
It would be fine if Ling Xiao had the support of a martial arts holy land, but Ling Xiao was just a casual cultivator, yet he dared to be so rampant, making those martial arts holy lands unable to swallow this!
Not to mention, there are even rumors that Ling Xiao has inherited the legacy of the Red Dragon God of War, which is why he has such incredible combat power!
Outside the Holy Ruins, there are countless powerful people, some wanting to seek revenge on Ling Xiao, some trying to fish in troubled waters, and all of them are murderous.
But a month passed, two months passed, half a year passed, and Ling Xiao and the old goat still did not come out.
Boom!
At the entrance to the Holy Ruins, the magic circle formed by 108 huge stars was closed.
Ling Xiao and the old goat are still in the Holy Ruins.
Some people have left disappointed, but many others are unwilling to give up.
They believed that even if the magic circle was closed, as long as the old goat obtained the Demon Saint's inheritance, he would definitely be able to open the magic circle from the inside, so they still stayed outside the Holy Ruins.
In the Holy Ruins, half a year later.
The blood pool was still filled with blood and golden clouds, but the blood-colored Taotie had dimmed a little, and the aura of the old goat became more terrifying.
The black scepter above the void was also slowly refined by the old goat. The old goat told Ling Xiao that this scepter was called the Demon Saint Scepter. It was an unparalleled divine weapon and also the magical weapon left by his father, the Demon Saint.
The Demon Saint's Scepter was damaged in the battle a million years ago. Although it has undergone a million years of natural repair, it has not yet fully recovered and needs the old goat's own essence and blood to nourish it.
This demon saint scepter is also a sacred object of the entire demon clan. It contains the essence and blood of all demons and has an extremely powerful suppressive effect on the demon clan.
Having the Demon Saint's Scepter means becoming the leader of the demon clan!
During the past six months, Ling Xiao had a deeper understanding of the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art by comprehending the runes on the blood-colored Taotie, and his cultivation of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm was also consolidated.
"Ling Xiao, please leave the Holy Ruins first! I need to refine the blood essence in these blood pools, open the power of my bloodline, and refine this small world. It will take a long time! You don't have to stay here with me!"
The old goat in the blood pool transmitted a message to Ling Xiao.
"Oh well!"
Ling Xiao nodded. It was very safe in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons and no one would disturb the old goat's practice.
And he should indeed leave and go to the East China Sea to meet his cheap uncle.
Buzz!
Ling Xiao's figure flashed and he left the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
Outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, as if sensing Ling Xiao's presence, a green rune instantly shot towards him like a stream of light.
"Hmm? Is this the message left by the unscrupulous Taoist?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he instantly took the green rune.
