The peak of King Wu
Yang Qi was slightly startled, but he was not too surprised. After all, the Dark Demon King was able to leave such a ban. He was a cultivator who mastered the true soul means, so his strength would naturally not be too weak.
Soul methods are strange and terrifying, and hard to guard against. At the same time, they are also an extremely powerful means of preserving life. With strong life-preserving abilities, it is naturally much easier to grow.
The fact that the Dark Demon King was able to master true soul methods at the Martial King level shows his talent in the soul. It is not surprising that he could cultivate to the high-level Martial King level.
“But even so, the name of the Dark Demon King shouldn’t be known to everyone, right?” Yang Qi frowned slightly.
The Tiancang star field has a long history of existence, and there are many practitioners who have reached the peak of Martial King. With so many powerful people, it is impossible for every one of them to reach this well-known level.
“The Dark Demon King not only has reached the peak of Martial King strength, but he is also proficient in the soul. It is said that he has mastered the true soul means. He once fought with a strong man in the Martial Emperor realm and saved his life.” Sun Chong said with emotion.
How could he survive at the hands of a Martial Emperor
Yang Qi was slightly surprised. This was somewhat beyond his expectations. Although it was very rare for a martial king to master the true soul method, any martial emperor could master this method. In addition, with the gap in realm and cultivation, even if it was a martial king at the peak who mastered the true soul method, it would not be easy to save his life in the hands of a martial emperor.
When reaching the Martial King realm, the gap between a small realm is enormous, and the gap between the peak of the Martial King realm and the Martial Emperor realm is a huge chasm!
The Dark Demon King was able to survive at the hands of the Martial Emperor with his peak Martial King strength, which shows how extraordinary the Dark Demon King is.
"It's a pity that the Dark Demon King finally fell." Sun Chong sighed.
Fallen
Yang Qi's face changed slightly. He thought that the Dark Demon King died of old age due to the end of his life and was unable to break through the Martial Emperor realm. However, Sun Chong's words clearly meant that the Dark Demon King was killed by someone.
"The Dark Demon King was killed by someone?" Yang Qi frowned.
Sun Chong nodded, and then said with a self-deprecating look, "The Dark Demon King is a powerful figure in our Tiancang Star Region, and one of the practitioners with the greatest hope of entering the Martial Emperor Realm. Naturally, the four major forces do not want to see such a thing, so in the end the four major forces joined forces to kill the Dark Demon King."
Four major forces!
It was the four major forces that killed the Dark Demon King, which was somewhat beyond Yang Qi's expectations, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising. Just like the small dynasties in the gap between the three major empires of Zichen Continent, their strength was not too strong, which was also the means used by the three major empires to balance.
The small dynasties in Zichen Continent were fine, as they had the support of super powers. Even if a martial king-level cultivator was born, it would not pose any threat to the super powers. However, Tiancang Star Region was different. In the nearby star regions, a martial emperor-level cultivator was a peak warrior. A martial emperor-level cultivator was enough to break the balance. If Tiancang Star Region gave birth to its own martial emperor-level cultivator and established a powerful cultivation force, Tiancang Star Region would lose its role as a buffer zone for the four major forces, which was something the four major forces absolutely did not want to see.
In this case, it is not so difficult to understand why the four major forces took action to kill the Dark Lord.
"Brother Sun..."
Yang Qi looked at Sun Chong and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort Sun Chong.
Sun Chong is a practitioner from the Tiancang Star Region, but under the oppression of the four major forces, the Tiancang Star Region has cut off the hope of giving birth to its own Martial Emperor. It can only become a buffer zone between the four major forces and can only maintain this chaotic situation, otherwise it will be suppressed by the four major forces! As a practitioner from the Tiancang Star Region, the distress in his heart can be imagined.
“Brother Yang, you don’t have to comfort me. We learned about this too late. So there are no more Nine-Star Martial Kings in our Tiancang Star Region. All the practitioners who have entered the Nine-Star Martial King realm have left to seek opportunities in other star regions.” Sun Chong chuckled and continued, “Anyway, with my talent and potential, let alone impacting the Martial Emperor, I don’t even have the hope of becoming a high-level Martial King in this lifetime. It doesn’t matter whether it has an impact or not.”
Although Sun Chong said it lightly, Yang Qi could sense the helplessness in Sun Chong's tone. Tiancang Star Region was facing four major forces, and these four forces had martial emperors in almost every generation. Even if Tiancang Star Region really gave birth to its own martial emperor, it would not be so easy to resist the four major forces, not to mention that the four major forces would not give Tiancang Star Region this opportunity!
Yang Qi was also helpless about this. Although his methods were very powerful among the practitioners in the Martial King realm, he was not able to deal with the four major forces, let alone the Church of Light without a Martial Emperor!
"But the reason why the Dark Demon King's name has become known to everyone is not just because of this. In fact, the Dark Demon King is a lone cultivator. The most important thing is that he acts according to his own preferences. The four major forces and the Tiancang Star Region have all been robbed by him. Over countless years, I don't know how much wealth he has accumulated. Before he died, he hid these riches and left a token, leaving these treasures to the right people." Speaking of this, Sun Chong paused, and then continued, "And he also announced this news, which is why the Dark Demon King's name has become known to everyone in the Tiancang Star Region."
It’s actually like this!
After hearing what Sun Chong said, Yang Qi also understood. To put it bluntly, this Dark Demon King was a cultivator who killed people for treasures, which was probably the origin of the Dark Demon King's name. But this Dark Demon King was too powerful. Killing people for treasures was a way to get rich in a short period of time. After countless years of accumulation, it was conceivable how precious the treasure left by the Dark Demon King was.
And the most important thing is that before his death, the Dark Demon King announced the news of the treasure he left behind. The treasure left behind by a peak martial king who had killed people for countless years would be passed down even if no one had ever seen it.
This matter is like the treasure of King Solomon that is circulating on the earth. Even after countless years, it is still circulating, and countless people know the existence of this treasure.
This is why after Yang Qi asked about the origins of the Dark Demon King, Sun Chong immediately guessed that Yang Qi might have obtained a treasure related to the treasure left behind by the Dark Demon King!
Sun Chong looked at Yang Qi and said solemnly, "Brother Yang, no matter whether you really got the token of the Dark Demon King's treasure or not, you must not let the four major forces get the treasure."
Hearing Sun Chong's words, Yang Qi was stunned, then nodded.
"Don't worry, Brother Sun. I have no intention of giving away the treasure I have obtained." Yang Qi chuckled.
The four major forces did not allow the Tiancang Star Region to rise. As a practitioner in the Tiancang Star Region, Sun Chong naturally did not want to use the resources of the Tiancang Star Region to strengthen the four major forces. Usually, exchanges and transactions were for survival, but it did not mean that Sun Chong agreed with the four major forces to oppress the Tiancang Star Region. (To be continued)
