As the scourge of the undead spread throughout the Bone Wasteland...
The Fearsome Demon King once again lost control of his soul and had to interrupt the secret technique of the bloodline.
At that moment, the enslaving effect of the Scourge Mark weakened, causing Lu Yuan to suddenly stop, no longer corroding his soul.
"Savage..."
With a hoarse voice, the Fearsome Demon King spoke with a hint of obvious exhaustion.
Even though the secret technique of the bloodline had been interrupted, the abrupt activation had already damaged his soul origin. This left him powerless against the corrosion of the Scourge Mark and forced him to lose more control over his soul.
Even if he continued to activate the Bloodline Secret Technique, it would be self-destructive at best and pose no threat to Lu Yuan.
But deep down, Lu Yuan was not at peace.
The reason why he stopped abruptly was not only to prevent the Fearsome Demon King from dying in vain.
The most important reason was...
As he was eroding the Fearsome Demon King's soul, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the fragmented memories!
In the image, a cold and dark hell plane filled with terrible magic unfolded.
"Wuwu~"
Amidst the sound of the horn...
Countless powerful demon clan members seemed to have been summoned, and they rushed in from all directions.
These demon clan members were formidable, each of them possessing an earth-shattering aura.
But at this moment, they were all staring nervously at the middle-aged man in front of them, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The middle-aged man looked mad, dishevelled, almost indistinguishable from a roadside lunatic.
The only difference was...
Half of his body was stuck in the void, unable to move, caught in a dilemma.
But soon after...
To the disbelief of all the demon clan members...
The madman in front suddenly reached out with both hands, as if grasping at the void.
Then, with a violent tear...
"Crack!"
The incredibly strong World Barrier was torn as if it were paper.
The scene ended abruptly.
But Lu Yuan recognised the origin of the madman.
He was none other than Ginger Jun's father from the previous simulation.
The King of Magic, Jiang Heng!
Lu Yuan had never expected...
Jiang Heng to be so ferocious, to actually cross over from another world to the Hell plane!
And from the memories of the Fearsome Demon King, it was clear...
That the Hell plane was vast, well-regulated, and filled with numerous powerful demon clan members.
Almost every demon clan member possessed a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Clearly, this was a world of higher dimensions, far more powerful than the magical world.
This also indicated that the origin of the Fearsome Demon King was far from simple!
"You have one last chance, tell me everything you know."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down and asked again.
"What do you want to know?"
The Fearsome Demon King fell silent for a moment, finally realising the situation and no longer displaying his previous arrogance and madness.
"Do you know this person?"
Lu Yuan controlled Norton and transmitted a mental image of a figure into the Fearsome Demon King's mind.
Upon seeing this figure, the Fearsome Demon King became extremely agitated and almost lost control, as if he had met a ghost.
"Damn it! How do you know this madman?"
"I knew this madman was not easy. As it turns out, he is from the same world as all of you!"
The Fearsome Demon King's eyes turned red as he roared in excitement and frustration.
"No! How did you know I'd met him? You damned ant, you actually looked into my memories!"
"I'll give you one more chance to organise your thoughts."
Lu Yuan said calmly.
Faced with Lu Yuan's questioning, the fearsome demon king hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the whole truth.
Years ago, for unknown reasons, the madman suddenly appeared in the hell plane and clashed with a group of powerful demon clan members.
Although the madman seemed insane, his strength was terrifyingly disproportionate.
Alone, he was able to crush thousands of Demon Clan members!
It wasn't until the Demon Clan members joined forces and summoned a true demon form that they were able to withstand the madman's attacks!
The battle caused chaos, and almost the entire Hell plane collapsed.
A newborn at the time, the fearsome Demon King was inadvertently affected by the battle. Falling through a space rift, he ended up stranded on this Abyssal Plane.
The Abyssal Plane was fraught with danger, as other demons battled it daily.
Because of his heritage as a true demon of Hell, and his immensely powerful bloodline, he eventually rose above the millions of evil demons to become the ruler of the Abyss.
The world feared his immense power, and so the Fearsome Demon King was given his title!
After listening to the Fearsome Demon King's account, Lu Yuan could tell that it was definitely a lie, with many loopholes in his words!
Considering the information at hand.
After all, Lucy, like the Fearsome Demon King, possessed the bloodline of a true demon from hell!
However, the Fearsome Demon King claimed to have come to this world alone.
Of course, there was a small chance that both Lucy and the Fearsome Demon King had been swept here in battle, but this raised a critical question.
Shortly after the Fearsome Demon King's birth, he would not have been able to survive long in the void alone after falling through a space rift, let alone penetrate the world barrier of the Abyssal Plane!
Furthermore.
The gap between the Hell plane and the magic world was enormous, spanning countless dimensions.
The distance between these two worlds was difficult to fathom even for experts at the highest level.
Undoubtedly, there was another reason why the Fearsome Demon King was able to dodge the void storms and reach the abyss plane unharmed.
Confronted with Lu Yuan's questioning, the Fearsome Demon King, ashamed and enraged, refused to speak despite repeated pressure.
Only when Lu Yuan threatened to activate the Scourge Mark did he reluctantly reveal that it was about the survival of the Abyssal Plane and had many connections to the Hell Plane.
Even if Lu Yuan killed it, it would never reveal a single word.
Seeing the Fearsome Demon King's emotional turmoil, Lu Yuan didn't push too hard.
Changing the subject, he asked again.
"I'm not interested in your background, but you mentioned earlier that Aemon can't be killed; what's the story behind that?"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was not pursuing the matter further, the fearsome demon king heaved a sigh of relief and became more cooperative.
"Aemon, this madman, is not only known as the Immortal because he has lived for almost two thousand years."
"But more importantly, he cannot be killed."
"At least in this world, no one can kill him, not even me!"
Shaking his head, the Fearsome Demon King advised Lu Yuan not to waste his efforts.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yuan was confused.
Given the Fearsome Demon King's arrogant and conceited nature, it was strange for him to admit defeat, suggesting that Aemon's power was overwhelming.
Could Aemon really be that formidable?
Seeing Lu Yuan's disbelief, a cold smile crept onto the Fearsome Demon King's lips.
"You can understand it like this... Aemon has kidnapped the will of the magical world and is holding the entire magical world hostage!"
"If you were to kill him, this world would be destroyed with him!"
