Chapter 128: Backstabbing the Demon God Emperor
. Stare!
Lin Ze, stared at intently by Cai'er, couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
He was so wrapped up, Cai'er probably didn't recognize him...
Lin Ze couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
They'd fought side by side the last time they met, but this time, they were facing off.
But just then, Lin Ze suddenly felt himself being locked in a terrifying aura.
He turned to see the old man, who had been fishing in the boat, staring intently at him.
"Senior, what do you mean?"
Lin Ze's voice rang out from beneath his black robe.
For a moment, everyone present focused on Lin Ze and the old man.
Seeing this, Xidi, watching from the shore, prepared to strike at any moment.
Even Ling Xiao, standing nearby, was surprised. From all the previous Palace Masters' interactions with this old man, he had never heard him act this way.
In response to Lin Ze's inquiry, the Guardian of Dream Paradise stroked his white beard and said slowly, "Little one, I'm a little surprised. I actually sense a dangerous aura coming from you. But I must remind you: don't do anything you shouldn't do!"
"Senior, you're joking. I'm only a peak-level sixth-rank cultivator. How can I pose a threat to you? I came here simply to find a suitable spiritual furnace."
"That's best."
As the Guardian of Dream Paradise, he had long been at the side of the Goddess of Nature, the ruler of the laws of life, and was extremely sensitive to life energy.
But for some reason, the moment he laid eyes on Lin Ze, he was like a black hole, constantly devouring the surrounding life energy.
It seemed endless.
Such a terrifying life aura was something he had never witnessed before.
Even this simple exchange frightened Ling Xiao.
Even he was in awe of the old man's strength. How could the leader of the demon clan be so terrifying that even the Guardian of Dream Paradise was worried?
Ling Xiao couldn't help but worry about Cai'er and the others.
It seemed the demons had come prepared this time, and he wouldn't believe their one-sided claims.
The old man turned his attention away from Lin Ze. Natural Paradise allowed anyone below Rank Seven to enter, even if they were demons. After all,
in the eyes of the Goddess of Nature, regardless of race, all living beings on the Continent of Life had the right to enter the Dream Paradise and seek opportunities.
"Since everything is ready, I'll begin."
Seeing that all twenty platforms were already filled, the old man spoke again. As he spoke, he mobilized the terrifying spiritual power within him.
His body hovered in the air.
Circles of emerald green light emanated from him.
"The Dream Paradise was left by the Goddess of Nature. It is the source of the Holy Demon Continent's prosperity. Spring brings growth, summer brings growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings storage. All four seasons exist, and day and night coexist..."
"All things are born and die, all in obedience to the laws of the Goddess of Nature."
"Now that the hundred-year recuperation period has arrived, I am commanded to wait for you..."
"Open the Dream Paradise!"
Boom!
With the old man's final words,
a massive portal emitting dazzling starlight appeared before everyone's eyes.
Even the surrounding sky was instantly replaced by stars, like a dreamlike bubble.
The lake also fell still in an instant.
An independent space had formed, isolated from the outside world.
Lin Ze couldn't help but be amazed at this miraculous phenomenon. It was actually possible to forcibly separate this lake from the Holy Demon Continent.
But just as everyone was stunned,
the old man's deep voice echoed again, a reminder.
"For three days, you can move freely within the Dream Paradise. Whether you can harvest the Spirit Furnace depends on your luck. Now, focus your minds!"
"Manifest all things freely!"
"Activate!"
As the old man finished speaking, a pulling force suddenly appeared upon everyone.
Before the twenty people on the platform could react, their vision went dark, and they were pulled into the teleportation portal.
They swiftly shuttled through the colorful spatial tunnel.
They were alone.
Lin Ze, observing this strange scene, was also surprised. This Dream Paradise was even more magical than he had imagined.
This passageway contained an immense amount of spiritual energy, far beyond what the Holy Demon Continent could even compare to.
But just as Lin Ze was wondering where he would be teleported to.
A thread radiating rainbow light caught up with him at terrifying speed, entangling him.
At that moment, the mysterious old man's voice echoed in Lin Ze's ears once again.
"This is the Thread of Rules. It automatically detects whether those entering are below the seventh level. If you pass the test, you will be randomly sent to any location in the Fantasy Paradise. However, if you fail, those above the seventh level will be expelled from the Fantasy Paradise!"
"You will never enter again!"
Even as the old man spoke, some people passed the Thread of Rules test and
were transported to various corners of the Fantasy Paradise.
But just as the Thread of Rules was about to reach Lin Ze, a soul-shattering roar erupted. Behind Lin Ze, a brilliant gray-white Taotie remnant suddenly appeared and pounced directly at the Thread of Rules the old man had mentioned.
Its sharp claws ripped the Thread in two, then devoured it completely. The Taotie phantom then burped and returned to Lin Ze's body, a look of satisfaction on its face.
Lin Ze was also surprised to see this scene; it was the first time he had seen a Taotie afterimage. At this moment, the Taotie phantom, which had been transparent in Lin Ze's soul sea, suddenly solidified. The Taotie phantom said with a look of enjoyment, "Lin Ze, this is a good opportunity. I didn't expect this place to still retain the power of the Goddess of Nature's laws. In my opinion, you don't need to give the Goddess of Nature's divinity to the Demon King.
You can absorb it yourself. As long as you absorb this divinity, even if the Demon King falls out with you, you will be able to protect yourself." "Are you serious?" Lin Ze asked, his brows raised slightly. In response to Lin Ze's question, the Taotie phantom in the Soul Sea slowly said, "The Demon God Emperor is arguably the strongest known being in the world. Even the elven dragon just now might not be his match. Based on my observations of the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, his true strength may have reached a level comparable to that of the gods of this world.
However, a mere god is nothing more than an ant in front of your fully awakened bloodline."
"As long as you devour the godhead of the Goddess of Nature and have sufficient law power in your body as nourishment, I can temporarily activate your entire bloodline. You should have no problem protecting yourself."
