C1831 self-deception
As Empyrean Blackrain watched Ouyang Palin's back as he entered the demonic swamp and established the defensive array that Empyrean Blackrain had set up in order to cultivate in seclusion, his eyes became extremely serene and profound.
Sky Sovereign Blackrain suddenly opened his palm. A pitch-black bead had appeared out of nowhere within his palm.
Strands of black smoke began to seep out from the surface of the bead. It was as if the bead had turned into tentacles, propping it up from the palm of Empyrean Blackrain.
The continuously waving black smoke tentacles seemed to have a mind of their own, but no matter how one looked at them, they gave off an evil feeling, making one's scalp tingle.
"Hehe, how does Senior Martial Brother feel?"
Empyrean Blackrain suddenly laughed like an owl. At the same time, he asked a question. Surprisingly, the object of inquiry was the pitch-black pearl that was already floating in the air with strands of black smoke tentacles jutting out like claws and fangs.
Suddenly, a vigorous and cold snort came from within the pearl. "Are you referring to that wisp of fusion source from this old man's Nightmare Pearl, or that little Devil Dao cultivator from the Zhou Heavenly Star Realm?"
"This Zhou Tian cultivator has quite a solid foundation in the demonic path. He had once served under Martial Nephew Liu, but never thought that he would live until now and even have the chance to enter this place. Hehe, to be honest, this is not simple at all!"
As he spoke to here, Empyrean Black Rain gave a "heh" and said, "What do you think, Senior Apprentice Brother?"
The vigorous voice once again came from the pitch-black pearl, the Nightmare Pearl, "When you make a cauldron, it can barely contain this old man's wisp of fusion essence, but I don't know how to display this old man's abilities."
When Empyrean Blackrain heard this, he scoffed, "Senior Brother must be joking. No matter how bad it is, it is still much better than Senior Brother hiding in this Nightmare Pearl."
As Empyrean Blackrain spoke, there was no response from the Nightmare Pearl. For a time, the two fell into a strange silence.
After a long time, the vigorous voice from the Nightmare Pearl spoke again, "Your goal is actually this Nightmare Pearl!"
Sky Sovereign Hei Yu was speaking with great interest, but his face didn't show the slightest bit of embarrassment. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, please grant me your wish!"
"Black Rain!"
The voice was clearly not too loud, but the nearby Empyrean Blackrain's face instantly flushed red, followed by a surge of demonic energy. His face turned as black as ink, and then as a large amount of source demonic energy flooded out, it became a bottomless abyss.
"Black Rain, my junior!"
However, the warning intent in his words had become even more severe because of the previous low shout, "Don't think that by advancing to the Acupoint Charging Realm, cutting off the avatar of three corpses, and having the dimensional barrier blocking you from doing as you please! You, are still far from it! "
It was unknown when the abyss of devil energy that had gushed out from the Black Rain Devil Lord's face had disappeared. The smile on his face had returned to the Black Rain Devil Lord's face, as if the brief confrontation and probing had not affected his mood in the slightest.
He smiled and said, "Senior Brother is right, I have received my teachings!"
Demon Sovereign Hei Yu's display of weakness seemed to quickly gain the understanding of the Nightmare Pearl, and the vigorous voice continued, "Just now, that little cultivator mentioned Yang Junshan, you have to be careful, this person is not weak at all, he has caused Gong Wei to suffer setbacks several times, and like you, he has most likely crossed the threshold of the Accomplishing Dao!"
The Black Rain Demon Sovereign did not seem to care much, saying, "Don't worry, senior, it was just the little cultivator's guess. Besides, so what if Yang Junshan came here? I, too, am an Empyrean God of the Dao-Path, but I'm not necessarily worse than this person! As for that White Tiger, as long as it is not in the right path, how is it a threat? "
"What if that Yang Junshan obtains the Primordial Purple Qi and becomes the world's sector lord?"
His voice also came from the Nightmare Pearl, but his originally vigorous voice now sounded somewhat ethereal.
"Sector lord?"
Sky Sovereign Hei Yu's expression finally became much more serious. He said solemnly, "So what? Wasn't there still senior brother helping out from the side? Moreover, the dimensional rift has already been opened, so we can borrow the power of our demon race from outside the region. It's enough to contend against the strength of a sector lord! "Moreover, the Feng Tian world has sent out nine beams of light and purple energy. If Yang Junshan is able to unleash the power of nine sector lords competing for the heaven and earth origin laws, it's hard to say how much power he will have."
"It seems like junior has truly made quite a bit of preparations for this journey!"
Nightmare Pearl's voice became vigorous and powerful once again, and he continued, "But this time, the 36 domains of the Fengtian realm are coveted by all the forces of the starry sky, our demon race's primary task is to gain a foothold in the domain, and then slowly plot. As a result, before our clan's experts can invade this world, we must guard this region and not blindly expand, lest we become the target of everyone!"
Demon Marshall Blackrain's face carried an expression of disapproval, but he still said, "Senior Brother, don't worry!"
However, it was unknown whether the expression on Demon Sovereign Blackrain's face had been investigated, or whether the existence inside the Nightmare Pearl was too knowledgeable about Demon Lord Blackrain's personality. It was clear what he was thinking, but the vigorous voice suddenly turned stern, and said, "Blackrain, this plan of yours concerns this old man's success in stepping into the Primal Chaos Realm and becoming an Immortal Path Sovereign. If this old man finds out who was in the middle of this, you should understand the consequences!"
It was as if his senior brother's warning had caused him to recall some memories that were not too good. His originally somewhat playful face had turned pale, and even his body seemed to have lowered itself a little as he said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. The Black Rain absolutely does not dare to make the slightest mistake!"2
There was no response from the Nightmare Pearl, only the tentacles moving around the bead as if probing whether Demon Marshall Black Rain's earlier statement was real or fake.
The silence brought about a heavy pressure to Demon Sovereign Blackrain. In front of that small Nightmare Pearl, Demon Sovereign Blackrain's shoulders seemed to be pressed down by a massive mountain. His body was constantly bending, and even his nose was starting to sweat.
"En!"
A light snort came from the Nightmare Pearl, but it caused the pressure on Demon Sovereign Hei Yu's body to disappear. He looked much more relaxed, but in front of this Nightmare Pearl, he no longer had the spirit he had before, when he advanced to the Dao-Path level.
"Alright, let's look at that little cultivator first. When he reaches the Great Net State, this old man's wisp will go and possess him. As for this Nightmare Pearl, I'll leave it for you!"
"W-what?"
Empyrean Blackrain's face was filled with astonishment when he heard this.
