Boom!

Before falling, Demon Eye Heavenly King struggled to turn his gaze towards the huge head that had rolled down into the mountains.

His single eye reflected the face of the Demon God, who happened to be looking at him as well. Their gazes met before their deaths.

Suddenly, the Demon God's left eye dissolved into a stream of blood, flowing like a small stream towards Demon Eye Heavenly King's empty left eye socket, condensing into a blood-red eyeball.

Demon Eye Heavenly King's extinguished consciousness was revived.

At the same time, he heard the Spirit Realm notification in his ear.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the single-player Spirit Realm mission - Battle of Zhuolu, difficulty level S. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Reward calculation in progress... Obtained item/object: Blood-Drinking Blade, Will of the Demon God]

[Reward experience points: 18%]

[Calculation complete, exiting Spirit Realm immediately.]

At the headquarters of the Northwest Military Religion, in a dusty tiled house, Demon Eye Heavenly King's charred body appeared out of nowhere, falling heavily to the ground. He remained motionless for a long time, like a lifeless corpse.

After about half an hour, a charred finger twitched. Demon Eye Heavenly King regained some consciousness, his right eyelid trembled and opened, staring blankly at the crisscrossing beams of the tiled roof.

Pain, so much pain, pain all over!

To accurately describe the current state of his body, it was as if someone had used a hammer to smash his bones into pieces, then hung him up for three days and three nights without sleep.

His body and spirit were both on the verge of death.

The residual power of lightning was still raging in his body. If it weren't for the character card injecting experience points (spiritual power) when he left the Spirit Realm, he would probably have died from the burning of his stem cells.

Of course, the healing item in his mouth also saved his life.

Demon Eye Heavenly King looked at the tiled roof, listening to the slightest sound outside. The whole world was quiet, with no voices, no footsteps, no breathing.

It was as quiet as if the headquarters of the Military Religion had turned into a dead city.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to rejoice or worry. He rejoiced because the Heavenly Kings and Divine Generals of the Military Religion all wanted to kill him. If they found the dignified Demon Eye Heavenly King in a weak state with no power to resist, they would probably be kind enough to send him back to the Spirit Realm.

He worried because his current state was terrible, and no one was coming to rescue him.

Before long, as he gradually woke up again in his worry, it was already dark.

Deep sleep had allowed Demon Eye Heavenly King to recover some strength. He opened his inventory and took out a teleportation jade talisman, pinching it tremblingly several times before finally managing to crush it.

Fu Jiawan. Zhang Yuanqing sat on the terrace of the master bedroom, bathed in the cold spring breeze. The Beginning of Spring had just ended, and in another week it would be the Spring Festival.

Three days had passed since he hunted down the Grand Guardian.

In these three days, relying on deduction and the Eye of the Sky, he had successfully found the hidden "Surgeon" and "Shaman Witch".

He locked the two of them in the Jade Purification Bottle.

For a level 8 dual-class Daoist Venerable, a level 7 Night Wanderer could only be considered an elite monster.

What's more, there was an elite monster (Zhai Cai) wearing the Mythic Armor assisting him. The most tragic price they paid was that ojo's woman went blind, Xiao Yuan went blind, Yin Yao went blind, Dog Elder went blind, Chen Shu's bodyguard Sophia went blind, and Zhai Cai's vampire servant also went blind.

Three pills are not enough for me to reach level nine. I'll wait for Xiahou Aotian for two more days. If he hasn't left the instance, I'll ask Lian Sanyue to refine the Three Talents Pill.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at his girlfriend in her silk nightgown across from him and said, "I may have to enter an S-level instance again."

As he spoke, the phone on the glass round table "dinged", indicating that a message had arrived.

Zhang Yuanqing picked up his phone and checked the message, then his face darkened and he frowned.

Seeing the change in his expression, Guan Ya put down her hot pour-over coffee and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yuanqing exhaled a breath of foul air in the cold wind. "Vice President Pan Xi said that the Sun instance cannot be entered."

Hearing this, Guan Ya's face also sank.

After the President of the Void Society entered the instance, Vice President Pan Xi was one of the highest-ranking Void professionals.

If even he, a supreme dominator, couldn't enter the Sun instance, how would Yuanshi enter?

If he couldn't enter the instance, even if he advanced to level nine and obtained the position of Sun Lord, it would be useless.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Ya tentatively said, "Did Vice President Pan Xi say anything? Or did that President leave behind any secret plans?"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.

In these three days, he had acted according to his uncle's instructions, as planned. Naturally, he had to plan to enter the Sun instance, so he sent a message to Vice President Pan Xi, hoping that this supreme dominator would act as a courier and send him in.

The result he got was that the instance level was too high to enter. The peak competition had already started, and he was still leveling up. Now he was being told that he didn't have the qualifications to participate.

"What do we do then?" Guan Ya frowned.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Zhang Yuanqing said helplessly.

Guan Ya pursed her red lips and said nothing. In fact, she was relieved. Competing for the Sun Lord meant fighting demigods. Even if she had confidence in her boyfriend, she didn't think her man could beat Ling Tu and the Master of the Taiyi Sect.

What's more, there were so many demigods. The current situation was actually the best choice.

If the sky fell, there were tall people to hold it up. If they couldn't hold it, they would die together without complaint.

What she feared most was that the sky would be held up and her boyfriend would become Nuwa.

At this moment, the bedroom door knocked, and Queen's voice came from outside: "Are you two having sex? If you're not, open the door, I have something to say."

Zhang Yuanqing spat out Yin energy towards the door. The little rascal climbed towards the door and jumped up to twist the doorknob.

Queen pushed the door open, first glanced at the tidy bed, then looked at the two people on the terrace, and said: "The bunny girl next door said that a charred person suddenly appeared in the yard, looking like he was giving his last words, saying he wanted to see you."

"See me? A charred person?" Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the frustration he had felt earlier and nodded, "I understand."

Sitting lazily in a single sofa, his body dissipated into dreamlike starlight.

Fu Qingyang, large villa, front yard.

The starlight rose, and Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the brilliant glow. He glanced around and looked at the charred humanoid figure lying by the fountain.

Zhang Yuanqing looked for several seconds before tentatively saying, "Daoist Venerable of Morality?"

"I'm Demon Eye..." the charred humanoid figure protested weakly, "Stop, stop talking nonsense, save, save me first."

A quarter of an hour later, with the help of two tubes of Life Source Liquid and the Azure Emperor Jade Belt, Demon Eye Heavenly King shed his carbonized shell and pulled his remaining half foot back from the gate of hell.

But his body was still weak. The Life Source Liquid and the Azure Emperor Longevity Technique healed his injuries and restored his blood and stamina, but the residual lightning power in his body was still slowly eroding his life. It would take a few days to dissipate.

Demon Eye Heavenly King sat on the sofa in Qian Gongzi's study, drinking expensive wine and eating oily ham slices, telling Yuanshi Tianzun across from him about his experiences in the instance.

Zhang Yuanqing listened very carefully and, based on Demon Eye Heavenly King's information, began to think and associate.

The struggle between ancient emperors actually stemmed from the competition for the power of the Five Elements? Tsk, both absurd and reasonable. The evil camp led by Chi You took advantage of the conflict between Yan and Huang, when both sides were exhausted, and launched a general offensive against the orderly camp.

The mutated alien beasts that Demon Eye saw should be from the Breaking Bad profession. The Western dragon had the ability to control lightning and wind blades, and was likely the God King in Greek mythology.

This matches the information I obtained on Paphos Island. The God of Light is no longer patient and killed the Goddess of Beauty because the God King went to the distant East.

"Could the rare and exotic beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas be mutated animals? Regardless, it is very reasonable from both a temporal and logical perspective."

In ancient times, practitioners from the three major districts had contact with each other. They even faced the evil camp together. If this is the case, why did the third major district perish? Could it be that the demigods of the first and second major districts did not provide support for some reason?

After speaking about the situation in the instance, Demon Eye Heavenly King raised his hand, touched his left eye, which was covered by a sports headband, and curled his lips, "I have received the blessing of a supreme being, would you like it?"

Zhang Yuanqing paused.

He became interested and moved closer to Demon Eye Heavenly King, his fingers burrowing under the sports headband and caressing the left eye socket of the Demon Eye.

A few seconds later, item information appeared: [Name: Will of the Demon God]

[Type: Item]

[Function: Obtain a Blessing]

[Introduction: Only the purest bewitching demon can be appreciated by the supreme being and receive a blessing while fighting alongside it.]

[Note 1: It can be used in Spirit Realm instances.]

[Note 2: Once the Will of the Demon God descends, it is eternal...]

The second note doesn't give me a good feeling. Zhang Yuanqing frowned, "You should use it cautiously, or not at all."

Demon Eye Heavenly King scoffed, filled with a sense of belief, "With it, I can help you become the Sun Lord. We are not without a chance of winning. By the way, shouldn't the opportunity for you to refine the Three Talents Pill have arrived?"

"I have already captured three protectors of Dark Night Rose. I'm just waiting for Xiahou Aotian to return so I can start refining the pills, but..." Zhang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "We may not be facing the question of whether we have a chance of winning, but whether we have the qualification to compete for the Sun Lord."

He sighed and told Demon Eye the reality, frankly telling him the helpless reality that the Sun instance had already opened, but he could not enter it.

Demon Eye Heavenly King touched his left eye, the soaring fighting spirit on his face slowly disappearing.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Then what is the point of me risking my life to level up?"

He fell silent and did not speak again for a long time.

Jiangnan Leather City.

In a spacious, luxuriously decorated bedroom, a handsome young man suddenly appeared.

Looking around and confirming that he was back in his familiar home, wearing a black iron ring, he threw himself heavily on the soft bed.

"Finally back, back alive, I'm never entering an S-level instance again."
