Chapter 461: Demon Lord's Legacy: The Demon Heart Wheel

Boom—

Heiyao and Longling's battle grew fiercer, the whole space filled with violent energy fluctuations.

Qing Yun, as a spectator in the Myriad Soul Banner, saw his gaze gradually deepen.

He noticed that Heiyao's fighting style was completely different from the common spells of the cultivation world.

Those eerie methods and black power made him involuntarily form a bold guess.

"This Heiyao's power seems to inherit the lineage of the legendary Demon Lord."

"Could Heiyao be a successor of the Demon Lord?"

Qing Yun secretly thought, locking his eyes on every move of Heiyao, trying to find more clues.

"Hmph…"

Just then, Heiyao seemed to sense Qing Yun's gaze, his eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to calm.

The corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, not taking Qing Yun's guess seriously.

"Longling, it seems you've already done your best!"

Heiyao's voice rang out again; his body suddenly turned into a black light, shooting straight into the black vortex.

Seeing this, Longling's heart tightened, knowing Heiyao was going all‑out, she exerted her full strength to fight.

She dared not be careless; the azure light in the eyes of the White Bone Dharma Appearance grew brighter.

The golden light orb on the bone staff and the bright moon divine radiance behind the White Bone became even more brilliant.

"The battle spirit never dies, only death ends it!"

"Heaven overturned, earth turned, what is there to fear?"

Longling's voice was filled with resolve.

Heiyao's figure in the black vortex grew blurry, but a more terrifying aura emanated from within.

The vortex spun faster and faster, eventually forming a huge black hole, as if it would devour everything.

"Furious Demon Power, manifest!"

Heiyao's voice came from the black hole, carrying a power that made one's heart tremble.

After hearing those words, Qing Yun finally confirmed his guess.

Heiyao is indeed related to the ancient Demon Lord; what he displays is exactly the Demon Lord's unique inheritance power.

A feeling of shock surged in Qing Yun's heart.

The ancient Demon Lord is an existence in the cultivation world that makes one's face change at the mere mention.

He seeks a power utterly different from the Dao, unacceptable to the world, incompatible with the Dao.

That terror lies not only in its great power, but also in its ruthless, merciless manner of acting—using any means, heartless and cruel.

In the Universe Cultivation World, there are stray sayings left by immortals: after ascension, the righteous become immortals, the heretical become demon immortals.

And the ancient Demon Lord is the founder of the Demon Path, a demon through the ages, taking defiance of heaven as his creed; his existence stands opposed to cultivators.

Thus the Universe Cultivation World has always been terrified of demons.

If Heiyao truly is the Demon Lord's heir, he will surely affect the whole cultivation world's landscape, making every cultivator feel a latent threat.

Moreover, demon path cultivators are extreme; their craving for power far exceeds ordinary people's, they can sacrifice everything, even their foundations and souls.

In the hearts of these extreme demon cultivators, only power is real; everything else is illusory.

Therefore, in the history of the cultivation world, there is no shortage of demon cultivators who, for their own selfish desires, have stirred up bloody storms, even causing the destruction of entire sects or a realm of heaven and earth.

After practicing demon arts, their dispositions change greatly, their minds become confused, and they may even turn into blood‑thirsty monsters.

Yet even so, they still relentlessly pursue the ultimate in power.

Those sinister methods keep emerging; yin‑toxious spells and forbidden contracts leave cultivators exhausted just trying to cope.

Especially those able to summon terrifying demons, control the undead, or rely on evil rituals to draw others' life force for themselves, exchanging it for violent power through forbidden arts—these are utterly contrary to heavenly principle.

In the hands of demon cultivators, life is as worthless as grass, morality as nothing.

Thus, once demon path cultivators appear, they will be besieged by righteous path cultivators.

Even so, demon path cultivators are like centipedes that, though dead, do not stiffen; they remain hidden like ghosts in the night in some corners of the cultivation world.

"Boss, Heiyao is a demon cultivator; he must not be allowed to escape, otherwise great harm will come."

Qing Yun sent a mental transmission to Longling, his tone excited; Longling, upon hearing, was also quite surprised.

Who would have thought that Heiyao actually had such an identity.

Boom—

In the black hole, Heiyao's figure reappeared, surrounded by countless strands of black demonic qi, each strand containing destructive power.

Heiyao waved his hands; those demonic qi turned into strands of black sword qi, slashing toward Longling.

Longling's White Bone Dharma Appearance waved the bone staff; the golden light orb collided with the black sword qi, producing a earth‑shaking roar.

However, Heiyao's sword qi seemed endless, wave after wave, continually striking Longling's defenses.

By this point, Longling felt an unprecedented pressure.

He knew that if this continued, he would eventually fall to Heiyao; he must find a way to break the stalemate.

Just then, a flash of resolve appeared in Longling's eyes.

The White Bone Dharma Appearance's bone staff suddenly stopped moving; all the golden light orbs began to gather into Longling's body.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Heifeng's heart jumped; he sensed the change in Longling's body, as if she were preparing some powerful secret art.

Heiyao also noticed Longling's abnormality.

A flicker of wariness passed through his cold eyes, but soon returned to confidence.

In his view, no matter what method Longling employs, it cannot change the final outcome.

Longling took a deep breath, his body began to radiate dazzling golden light, and he seemed to merge with the White Bone Dharma Aspect.

「Boom—」

A tremendous aura unlike anything before burst from her body, shaking the entire space.

On the bone staff of the White Bone Dharma Aspect, golden runes began to flicker, exuding an ancient and mighty power.

"White Bone Dharma Aspect, Bone Tide Rends Heaven!"

Longling shouted loudly, and the bone staff of the White Bone Dharma Aspect pointed fiercely at Heiyao.

Golden beams shot from the bone staff, each beam containing all of Longling's power and will.

These beams wove together in the air into a huge golden light net, enveloping Heiyao.

"You……?"

Heiyao's eyes finally showed a hint of shock.

I never expected Longling to still have such a powerful trump card.

He quickly mobilized all his strength, trying to block this sudden attack.

However, the power of Longling's ultimate secret technique was too great; even Heiyao felt an unprecedented pressure.

The golden light net collided with the black sword qi, bursting forth with unprecedented light, making the entire space tremble.

"Thud—"

In the earth-shaking roar, the golden light net and the black sword qi vanished simultaneously.

And the silhouettes of Heiyao and Longling also disappeared in that tremendous energy surge.

Qing Yun stood before the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his heart churning with tumultuous waves.

However, at that very moment, a mysterious black radiance shot out from the self-destructing storm.

"The Ancient Demon Lord's Legacy Treasure, the Demon Heart Wheel!"

Qing Yun saw the huge black wheel floating in the sky, its surface covered with evil patterns, exuding boundless ferocious killing power, and he exclaimed in shock.

According to the forbidden annals of the Universe Cultivation World, the Demon Heart Wheel, as the Demon Lord's legacy item, is filled with mysterious power and ancient secrets.

Know that in the Cultivation World, the Demon Lord's legacy has always been an awe-inspiring yet tempting existence.

This is the power countless demonic cultivators dream of obtaining, eager to raise their cultivation level, reach the legendary Demon Immortal Realm, and thus break free from the shackles of life.

The appearance of the Demon Heart Wheel will undoubtedly stir up a new turmoil in the Cultivation World.

Qing Yun and Heifeng stood together before the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, watching the battle, and with wisdom and insight they sensed the calamity of the Demon Heart Wheel.

Then Heiyao's entry into the Ancient God Sect must surely aim for something great.

"The Demon Heart Wheel is actually such a forbidden item—no wonder Heiyao dares not show his true face, but walks the Universe Cultivation World in an avatar!"

Heifeng, upon hearing Qing Yun's words, also exclaimed in shock.

The emergence of the Demon Heart Wheel will surely attract many cultivators of the Demonic Path to vie for it.

Henceforth, in the Universe Cultivation World, one must carefully monitor the shifting situation of training grounds and stay away from places of conflict as much as possible.

Demonic practitioners differ from evil-path cultivators; those people have long lost their humanity, retaining only life sacrifice and slaughter.

Moreover, according to the Black Clan's forbidden canons, the Demon Heart Wheel is a mysterious dharma treasure forged from the flesh of the Unparalleled Demon Lord.

Upon it lies the terrifying supreme law of the Demonic Path, its power so immense that it could shake the entire Cultivation World.

It is not only a symbol of the Demon Lord's legacy, but also the supreme source of power for the Demonic Path.

The power of the Demon Heart Wheel is mysterious and terrifyingly boundless; anyone who touches it may have their mind devoured by its profound demonic energy.

For the Demon Heart Wheel's power originates from the primordial force of the Unparalleled Demon Lord.

It can manipulate the laws of the Demonic Path and unleash secret arts that turn the heavens and earth pale.

Such power is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, and even throughout the history of the Cultivation World, few can rival it.

When the Demon Heart Wheel appears in the Cultivation World, it will surely upend the world's order; countless hidden demonic practitioners will likely go mad, emerging at any cost to sacrifice their lives and seize this power.

However.

According to the Black Clan's forbidden canons, the power of the Demon Heart Wheel is not easy to master; the profound and complex demonic laws it contains will, if mishandled, backlash, plunging one into the Demonic Path, never to be reborn.

Even a powerful cultivator, when facing the Demon Heart Wheel, must proceed with utmost caution, lest his being be eroded by its demonic energy.

"I never imagined that Heiyao would have such an opportunity.

I don't know whether this is his blessing or his misfortune."

Again, a cultivator exclaimed in shock.

In the Cultivation World, legends about the Demon Heart Wheel are widespread.

It is not only a symbol of power, but also a supreme honor.

Many Demonic Path cultivators dream of gaining the Demon Heart Wheel's acknowledgment to prove their strength and status.

But inheriting the Demon Heart Wheel is no easy feat; it requires the heir to possess extraordinary talent and steadfast will to truly wield its power and unleash its supreme might.

The appearance of the Demon Heart Wheel will undoubtedly spark a bloody struggle.

Ultimately, only one who can truly awaken the Demon Heart Wheel will become the new Demon Lord, the supreme powerhouse who ascends to the Demon Immortal Realm.

"Rumble—"

The entire space stirred with wind and clouds; the Demon Heart Wheel's demonic might raged, countless strong ones felt fear, while also arousing deep greed and desire within them.

The power of the Demon Heart Wheel, like a black hole devouring all, makes any nearby being feel a demonic energy almost capable of tearing apart heaven and earth.

Longling watched from afar, a hint of solemnity flickering in his eyes.

Although Heiyao was defeated, his failure did not quell the Demon Heart Wheel's demonic might; instead, it was like lighting a fuse, making the Wheel's power even more violent.

"Crackle—"

At the place where Heiyao hovered, streams of black demonic qi shot up into the sky, forming a tremendous demonic qi storm that sucked in everything around and ground it to nothing.

The Demon Heart Wheel slowly rotated in the air, each turn accompanied by spatial distortion and vibration.

It emitted black light like the scythe of a grim reaper, harvesting any life that dared to approach.

Around the Demonic Heart Wheel a forbidden zone formed where none dared to approach; any entity entering would be mercilessly devoured.

Just then, a golden light pillar descended from the heavens and struck the Demonic Heart Wheel.

That was the power sealed in Longling's frontal bone, namely heavenly thunder; this destructive power turned into a golden light pillar that collided with the Demonic Heart Wheel's black light.

"Boom—"

Blinding light burst forth, illuminating the entire sky as the two forces clashed.

The clash of the two forces caused violent spatial fluctuations, making the whole space tremble.

Longling's golden thunder light pillar was immensely powerful, facing the Demonic Heart Wheel's supreme demonic might.

"Boom—"

The Demonic Heart Wheel suddenly let out a heaven-shaking demonic howl, and its surface began to appear with evil markings.

From the evil markings seeped deeper darkness, as if seeking to swallow the whole world.

Before this power, Longling's golden thunder light pillar began to be gradually suppressed, its light growing dimmer.

"Damn it…!"

A flash of resolve crossed Longling's eyes as he shouted a curse.

At his call, the White Bone Dharma Aspect appeared again, its bones shimmering with ancient runic light, merging with Longling's power.

Golden runes also appeared on Longling's body, resonating with the White Bone Dharma Aspect's runes to form a great golden formation.

"Heavenly Thunder Myriad Seals!"

Longling let out his final roar, pouring all his power into the golden formation.

The formation began to descend slowly, pressing down on the Demonic Heart Wheel.

The Demonic Heart Wheel seemed to sense the threat, its spin speeding up and its black light growing stronger.

Yet, under the combined effort of Longling and the White Bone Dharma Aspect, the golden formation finally landed atop the Demonic Heart Wheel.

The light in the sky gradually faded, and the Demonic Heart Wheel's demonic might was temporarily suppressed.

Longling's figure slowly descended from the air, his face showing a trace of fatigue.

Although the Demonic Heart Wheel was temporarily sealed, this power was too great for the seal to last.

"Kill…"

Longling made a swift decision, lunging straight at Heiyao, for Heiyao was the master of the Demonic Heart Wheel.

If he were to strike down Heiyao while he was heavily wounded and struggling, the Demonic Heart Wheel would become ownerless and would no longer function.

"Boom—"

However, just as Longling was about to deliver the killing blow, a phantom appeared on the Demonic Heart Wheel.

This phantom bore the Peerless Demon Lord's supreme demonic power, so strong it could warp space and tear open the void.

As soon as the phantom appeared, it swiftly enveloped Heiyao; before Longling's eyes, the void split open, swallowing Heiyao, then vanished.

This change caught Longling off guard.

He could feel the terrifying demonic power emanating from the phantom; even someone as strong as he felt a pang of palpitation.

This manifestation of the Demonic Heart Wheel undoubtedly proved it was not merely a magical treasure but a vessel of the Demon Lord's legacy, possessing unfathomable mysteries.

From now on we must be cautious; Heiyao is indeed a formidable foe.

Having escaped defeat this time, he will surely seek an opportunity to fully master the Demonic Heart Wheel's power.

A chill flickered in Longling's eyes.

He needed to gain a deeper understanding of the Demonic Heart Wheel and the Demon Lord's legacy hidden behind it.

Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles.

"Hum—"

With the Demonic Heart Wheel's disappearance, Heiyao was rescued by a phantom, and those originally under his control, such as the Southern Yue, returned to normal.

When they realized Heiyao was a descendant of the Ancient Demon Lord, their shock was beyond words.

As a mighty figure in the history of the cultivation world, the Demon Lord's legacy and treasures have long been the goal of countless cultivators, and the Demonic Heart Wheel is a crucial part of that legacy.

The Demonic Heart Wheel's power is not only mighty but also profound; it was forged from the Peerless Demon Lord's fleshly sacrifice and contains the supreme principles of the demonic Dao.

Such principles are mysterious and terrifying, filling all who know of their existence with awe.
