Chapter 253 Events from Twenty Thousand Years Ago
"Come with me, I hope what you're saying is true!"
Immediately, two fiery red figures flew one after the other straight towards the highest peak of the [Burning Heaven Flame Mountain].
……
Soon, the two birds arrived at the crater at the top of the mountain.
In the center of that crater lies a sea of lava radiating pure fire element.
This kind of place is also the favorite dwelling place of fire-attribute monsters.
Fire Feather respectfully landed a hundred meters away from the lava pool.
It lowered its head, and with a reverent gaze, transmitted its voice to the tranquil pool of lava:
"Lord Demon Lord."
"Firebird Clan, Fire Thirteen, there is an urgent matter concerning the survival of our clan that needs to be reported!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the previously calm sea of lava suddenly began to boil wildly.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
The magma began to churn violently, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure descended at that moment.
"Thump!"
Huo Shisan's already weakened soul was unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance under this oppressive force, which was like the might of heaven.
He was immediately pinned to the scorching ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Even Huo Yu, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh rank, buried his head even deeper at this moment, not daring to even breathe.
This is the terrifying pressure of an eighth-order demon lord.
"boom--!!"
The lava suddenly exploded, and a fiery red figure resembling a phoenix rose from it.
It did not reveal its enormous, sky-covering form, but instead shrunk its size to a dozen meters tall.
Even so, it could not conceal the other party's majesty and imposing presence.
At this moment, its eyes, which seemed to be made up of two suns, were coldly staring at Huo Shisan, who was lying on the ground, terrified and about to lose his soul.
"Tell me, what is it?"
A vast divine thought exploded in Huo Shisan's mind.
Lying prostrate on the ground, Huo Shisan exerted all his strength to mobilize his divine sense, trying to report the horrifying news.
However, his already weak divine sense was unable to be mobilized under the invisible power emanating from the eighth-level demon lord.
Nowadays, it can't even transmit sound.
Realizing this, Huo Shisan's heart was instantly filled with endless despair.
It is not afraid of death, but it is afraid that its own incompetence will cause it to miss this critical warning that concerns the survival of its people.
Seeing that the other party was not responding, the Firebird Demon Lord obviously realized something.
It was my oversight that the opponent's cultivation was only at the first level of the seventh rank, and he was also seriously injured, so naturally he could not withstand my pressure.
Immediately, the Firebird Demon Lord completely concealed its eighth-tier aura, and the oppressive force dissipated.
Huo Shisan breathed a sigh of relief. His demonic body, which had been suppressed to the limit, suddenly relaxed. The bird seemed to collapse on the scorching rock, panting heavily.
The feeling was like being pulled out of the deepest part of the ocean when someone was about to drown.
"Thank you... thank you... Demon Lord..."
"Speak."
"What could possibly have caused you to panic like this?"
That majestic voice entered Huo Shisan's mind once again.
Huo Shisan dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly transmitted what he had seen and heard to the Fiery Bird Demon Lord in a way that was almost like pouring out his thoughts.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the matter is as follows: at that time..."
After hearing the other party's story, even the Firebird Demon Lord, who had lived for ten thousand years, couldn't help but feel angry.
The previously calm sea of lava below began to boil again at this moment.
"A human, possibly at the peak of the seventh rank?"
"A large-scale capture of demonic beasts?"
"Are they trying to openly violate that agreement from 20,000 years ago?"
The Fiery Bird Demon Lord was filled with boundless rage.
Those treacherous and cunning humans!
It has never had any goodwill towards human cultivators from outside the realm.
It could even be said that it was filled with deep-seated resentment.
The reason is that its mother perished in the great war 20,000 years ago, killed by those damned human cultivators.
……
Around 20,000 years ago.
A group of human cultivators calling themselves the "Taiyan Holy Land" tore through the barriers of this world and descended upon it.
Like locusts swarming across the land, they frantically hunted, captured, and even enslaved the demon race in this world that should have belonged to them.
This brutal invasion also thoroughly alarmed the eight great demon lords of this world at that time.
They were all furious at the actions of the humans and attacked together, wanting to kill these humans from the Taiyan Holy Land.
However, the other side also had an eighth-level cultivator, and a great battle suddenly broke out.
In the end, the demon race won a pyrrhic victory.
Three of the eight demon lords perished, including its mother.
Meanwhile, at the Taiyan Holy Land, nine out of ten eighth-level cultivators were killed by them, including the Taiyan Holy Land's Grand Elder who also perished there.
Only one person possessed exceptional survival skills and managed to escape back to the Heavenly Profound Realm in a sorry state.
They originally thought that after suffering such heavy losses, the Taiyan Holy Land would definitely give up its invasion and never dare to set foot in this realm again.
Who would have thought that just a hundred years later, the Taiyan Holy Land would descend once again.
This time, it was not the vast invading army that descended, but just one person.
A terrifyingly powerful figure dressed in white robes, holding a precious mirror that seemed to reflect all the heavens and myriad worlds.
The opponent's cultivation level was at the eighth level of the eighth rank, and there was also a mirror in his hand that appeared to be a ninth-rank treasure.
Such terrifying combat power was something even the strongest demon among them at the time, the Tyrant Tiger Demon Lord, was quite wary of.
Fortunately, the other party seemed to be wary of something and did not choose to take direct action, but instead chose to negotiate with them.
After the other side revealed its terrifying strength, the agreement was almost entirely biased towards the Taiyan Holy Land.
The final result was that the demon race had to compensate the human race with a massive amount of Void Seeds and a series of other precious natural treasures.
Furthermore, these demonic beasts cannot attack the people of the Taiyan Holy Land on their own initiative.
In the years that followed, they were also required to provide high-quality Void Seeds to the Taiyan Sacred Land every thousand years.
In exchange, the Taiyan Holy Land promised that it would never again carry out large-scale "capture" and "slaughter" of the monsters in this world.
……
Faced with this completely unfair condition, the five great demon lords at the time had no choice but to agree and sign a contract with the other party.
After all, the opposing human, at the eighth level of the eighth rank, wields a "ninth-rank supreme treasure," so they are willing to fight at all costs.
Their already weakened demon race was no match for them.
Moreover, they could barely accept the conditions proposed by the other party.
The so-called "Void Seed" is of almost no use to the demon race.
Their cultivation path as demons is completely different from the complicated path of humans, which requires "opening up the inner world."
They cultivate their "bloodline" and "origin".
As long as their bloodlines are continuously purified and reverted to their ancestral form, their power will increase inexhaustibly and wildly.
The so-called "seventh-order cave world" will naturally emerge in their bodies when their bloodline advances to the "king" level.
There is no need for external seeds to serve as one's own foundation.
For this reason, for them, exchanging these useless Void Seeds for this hard-won peace is not a huge loss.
For the next 20,000 years, they provided a continuous supply of Void Seeds for the human race.
