In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Deep in the dark mountains that stretched for countless thousands of miles, in an area surrounded by dozens of tall peaks, Lu Yuan's hands and feet were suspended in mid-air without moving.

A hundred feet in front of him, Lu Luo was filled with demonic energy, driving a black nine-hole jade flute to continuously spray out large streams of demonic fire.

On the other side, the fire dragon boy's eyes were red, and blood-colored sword threads were shooting out in all directions.

In addition, there are several human Yuanying monks who are full of demonic energy, and more than a thousand demons to cooperate with the two.

What they faced was overwhelming, countless dark monsters roaring towards them from the mountains and forests in all directions.

These monsters may have scales on their backs, or a single horn on their heads, or they may look like snakes and scorpions, but have a pair of wings growing from their waists.

Fortunately, the realm of these monsters is low, most of them are equivalent to the level of human Qi training and foundation building, so they have no resistance at all when facing the magical powers of Lu Luo and others.

Under the raging force of various magical powers, those monsters were either chopped into two pieces or burned to ashes. There were more monsters, bitten by those Nascent Soul-level demons, turning into bloody rain of broken limbs all over the sky.

But these monster beasts seemed not to be afraid of life and death at all. No matter how miserable the death of the same kind in front was, the ones in the back were still roaring crazily, and swarmed up again with black shadows.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at a dark crack about several feet long in the void not far behind him.

At this time, a dark liquid like ink was seeping out from the crack into the mountains outside. At the same time, wisps of dark primitive demonic energy also dispersed around.

"Could it be that he was attracted by the original demonic energy?" After looking at it for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

Then the whole body's cultivation level exploded, and under the churning demon energy, a holy demon body with three heads and six arms, more than ten feet tall, appeared.

He raised his head slightly and roared, and the power of the high-level ancient demon in the late stage of divine transformation instantly spread for dozens of miles.

After feeling the terrifying power, those monster beasts that rushed towards them showed panic for a moment and began to slowly retreat to the periphery.

"You have to be the Great Elder, otherwise Brother Lan and I will be eaten to death by these monsters sooner or later."

Lu Luo breathed heavily and smiled bitterly. As early as Lu Yuan successfully advanced to become a god, Lu Luo and others called Lu Yuan this name.

"Yes, by the way, we have arrived at the territory of the demon clan in the spirit world. How come there are so many demonic beasts appearing?"

The Fire Dragon Boy nodded gloomily, and the others also had doubts on their faces.

"Why, now, do you still think you have arrived in the spirit world?" A trace of solemnity appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

"According to what the Great Elder said, our ascension failed and we are still in the human world now?" Lu Luo looked shocked.

"It's impossible. Looking at the human world, where can there be so many monsters? Could it be that we are in the Valley of Ten Thousand Monsters?" The Fire Dragon Boy asked in surprise.

"Don't you feel that the demonic energy here is too dense?" Lu Yuan finally spoke after being silent for a while.

"Listening to what the great elder said, something is really wrong. The demonic energy here is stronger than the secret places of the demonic sects in the human world. I originally thought it was because the original demon sea was leaked here, but after feeling it carefully, it is indeed It's not the same as the original demonic energy. Brother Lan, what do you think?" Lu Luo closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, looking at the fire dragon boy in surprise.

"Brother Lu, we have all been infused with demonic energy by the Great Elder. Now we are half-demon and half-human beings. How could we not be able to sense it? If we stay here to practice, we may have great hope of breaking through the current Nascent Soul." The bottleneck in the mid-term is entering the late Nascent Soul stage.”

The fire dragon boy's eyes flashed and he said with the same complex expression.

"Great Elder, you seem to already know where this is, right?" asked a gray-haired old man among the other people.

"Of course, those before were not monsters, but monsters! This should probably be the ancient demon world!" Lu Yuan said solemnly.

"Ah!" Everyone was dumbfounded almost at the same time.

"Isn't the ascension passage we entered leading to the spiritual world? How could we end up in the ancient demon world!" Lu Luo said, still a little unconvinced.

"The so-called ascension channel is the gap between the interfaces. Back then, the ancient demon world accidentally discovered the weakness of the ascension channel, and used this to open up the connection with the ascension channel, thus leading the original demonic energy to the human world.

Although the ancient demon world was later defeated, and the connection between the ascension channel and the spirit world was cut off by people from the spirit world, the weakness between the two cannot be repaired..." Lu Yuan said slowly, while also recalling The scene of joining forces with everyone to enter the ascension passage that day.

Lu Yuan controlled thousands of demon clans and mobilized the primitive demon sea to contain most of the power of the formation in front of the ascension passage.

Xiang Zhili, Dayan Shenjun, and Lu Qing, three god-transformation stage monks, joined forces with nearly a hundred Nascent Soul late-stage human-demon monks to form a formation. With the combined efforts, the power has already surpassed the late stage of divine transformation and successfully entered the ascension channel.

And when Lu Yuan attacked with all his strength from the original demon sea, he broke through the blocking formation and entered the ascension channel. But I didn't expect that the people in the spirit world back then had a back-up plan. After the formation was broken, it actually disintegrated on its own, causing the ascension channel to collapse.

As a result, not only were all the thousands of demons in the original demonic sea wiped out, but even half of the human-monster monks who had previously entered the ascension passage were killed in the space storm caused by the collapse of the ascension passage.

Although Lu Yuan is protected by the primitive sea of ​​demons, he is also in great danger. Fortunately, when the ascension channel collapsed halfway, the original demonic sea suddenly broke away from Lu Yuan's control and began to flow freely.

And Lu Yuan, who was almost integrated with the original demon sea, naturally could only drift with the tide, and finally arrived here.

As for why Lu Luo, Fire Dragon Boy and others are here, it is because more than a hundred years ago, among the Luoyun Sect and other major forces of Lu Yuan's lineage, many like Lu Luo, Fire Dragon Boy and others were trapped in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. , the Nascent Soul cultivator who is unable to go any further and whose life is approaching.

At that time, Lu Yuan thought that they had made a lot of contributions over the years, so with their consent, he selected some of his confidants to imbue their bodies with demonic energy.

Moreover, Lu Yuan wanted them to survive so that they would not lose their mind due to the influence of the demonic energy. During the infusion, the amount of demonic energy was reduced as much as possible, so that these people did not advance successfully after the infusion was successful, but fortunately the crisis of longevity was solved.

However, when the ascension passage collapsed, Lu Yuan tried his best to protect only a few people such as Lu Luo and the Fire Dragon Boy, but the others were all shattered into pieces like most of the thousands of demons.
