Chapter 111

The world was a sheet of silver-white.

Qin Shuo did not know whether he was dead, for he could feel nothing around him.

Streets, houses, his body, the Demon King...

He could perceive nothing.

Yet he could think, he still had consciousness.

He was like a ghost drifting in the silver-white world, without body, without breath, only thought.

He wandered everywhere, as if on an endless snowy plain, seeking an exit, a way back to his body.

But he found nothing.

After an unknown time, he suddenly heard voices, and some fragmented scenes flashed before his eyes.

It was a night of flashing lightning and thunderous rain, a silver wolf giving birth to three pups.

It seemed wounded, its body covered in blood, and of the three wolf pups, only one survived.

In the heavy rain, the ash-colored wolf pup wailed, mournful and piercing.

The image flashed, the scene changed.

This was a dense primeval forest, a silver wolf standing on a mountain peak, its feet trampling a human, holding a bow and arrow, likely a hunter.

The silver wolf devoured the hunter, and wisdom gleamed in its eyes.

It seemed to have awakened something, beginning to sit beneath the bright moon in the sky, practicing breath control.

The image flashed again, the silver wolf had grown into adulthood and undergone a tremendous transformation.

Its entire body shone with silver light, and a crescent mark appeared on its forehead.

This was the sign of the bloodline awakening of the Xiaoyue Tianlang clan; its strength soared, and even fierce tigers and raging black bears were no match for it, becoming its prey.

The scene shifted again, the silver wolf, having awakened the Tianlang bloodline, had become the overlord of the entire mountain range, ruling as king.

But soon, its dream of being wolf king shattered.

It encountered a youth in white clothes and white hair, even his eyebrows white, of striking beauty.

He called himself Bai Ze, saying its bloodline was not ordinary, with hope of becoming a true Demon King, even a Heavenly Demon King, asking if it had interest in seeing a broader world.

It nodded.

The image shifted again, this time to a vast expanse of mountains.

This mountain range, its peaks towering tens of thousands of zhang, jagged summits standing in rows, countless fierce birds and beasts lurking within.

Even the silver wolf, having awakened the Tianlang bloodline, dared not act recklessly here, must proceed with utmost caution.

The silver wolf climbed step by step, arriving before the gate of a magnificent palace.

There were no guards, but on the stone pillars before the mountain gate, two black giant serpents with horns were coiled.

Upon seeing its arrival, one of the giant serpents spat out a crimson serpentine tongue, speaking in human words: "Xiaoyue, the Master has awaited you for a long time!"

The silver wolf entered the palace.

A handsome man in white clothes, white hair, and white brows sat upon the throne, holding a volume of human books in his hands, like a scion of a noble family reading, possessing an ineffable aristocratic aura and scholarly elegance.

"Master!"

The silver wolf lowered its head, filled with trepidation.

After being brought to this demonic mountain range where the strong are as numerous as clouds, the silver wolf had not seen the man before him for nearly a hundred years.

As it lived longer in this mountain range, its reverence for the white-clothed man grew deeper.

To the point that upon meeting again, it dared not call the white-clothed man by name, only able to address him as the other great demons did, as Master.

And the white-clothed man seemed not to find this address improper.

In its view, Bai Ze or Master, merely a title, not worth wasting words over, not worth spending time on.

"Xiaoyue, a hundred years ago I once told you I would take you to see a broader world. Now the time has come, are you still willing to follow me?"

The white-clothed youth spoke, his voice unhurried, warm and gentle, making one feel inexplicably close.

"Master, Xiaoyue is willing!"

The silver wolf's tone was resonant, without the slightest hesitation.

Although it did not understand what the white-clothed youth meant by a broader world.

But it knew, that must be a world worth longing for.

After all, even the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons Bai Ze longs for that world, it must have something unique.

"Very good, I indeed did not misjudge you back then."

The white-clothed youth nodded satisfactorily, continuing: "In the Great Li Yunzhou, a World-Suppressing Divine Weapon shall be born, I command you to leave the mountains and bring it back."

"Yes!"

The silver wolf still had no hesitation, respectfully accepting the order.

Afterwards it hesitated a moment, yet still opened its mouth to ask: "Dare I ask Master, what form and appearance does this Divine Weapon have?"

"Unknown."

"What abilities does it possess?"

"Unknown."

Silver wolf: "..."

"The Divine Weapon possesses spirit, can conceal heavenly secrets, even I cannot calculate its precise information, only know it is hidden in Yunzhou, the exact location still needs you to investigate yourself."

The white-clothed man turned his palm, conjuring as if by magic, producing a piece of black beautiful jade from nowhere.

"This is the Spirit-Linking Profound Jade, sharing the same origin as the World-Suppressing Divine Weapon, wear it, and when you approach the Divine Weapon within a certain range, it will give you hints."

Afterwards, seeing no movement from the white-clothed man, the Spirit-Linking Profound Jade instantly appeared in the silver wolf's hand.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

The silver wolf's head lowered even further, almost touching the ground.

"The World-Suppressing Divine Weapon is not something ordinary people can see; if the range is confirmed, it can be revealed through a blood sacrifice of living beings, corrupting its divinity and making it manifest. After the Divine Weapon manifests..."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the originally refined and elegant white-clad youth's clear eyes flashed with a terrifying light that sent shivers down one's spine, as if it could pierce through time and space, illuminating the entire silver-white world through fragmented memories.

"Who dares to spy on this seat?!"

Crack!

The silver-light world shattered like glass, piece by piece.

On the long street, Qin Shuo snapped his eyes open, feeling as if his head would split open, as though pierced by a sharp sword through his mind.

"The Demon Saint Bai Ze..."

Qin Shuo broke out in a cold sweat, his spirit violently agitated, and only after a long while did he recover.

How terrifying!

Is this the might of a Demon Saint?

It's merely a lingering shadow in someone else's consciousness, yet it is this terrifying.

"He wouldn't have noticed me, would he?" Qin Shuo felt a prickle on his scalp.

After experiencing the power of the Martial Saint Divine Ability, he felt nothing but awe for beings of the Martial Saint level.

Know this: if not for the Martial Saint Divine Ability, with the strength of the Xiaoyue Yaowang, a single slap could kill him.

And he, having only mastered the minor completion stage of the divine ability, already possesses such terrifying combat power.

Then, as the creator of the divine ability, how terrifying must the Martial Saint's strength be?

Qin Shuo's scalp felt slightly numb.

To truly draw the attention of such an invincible and terrifying existence as the Martial Saint would bring great trouble.

"It must just be a coincidence; it couldn't possibly follow someone else's memories to attack me, could it? That would be too terrifying!"

Qin Shuo comforted himself, sinking his spirit into his sea of consciousness.

Upon just entering his sea of consciousness, he was startled by the sight before him.

Originally, his sea of consciousness, rendered golden and radiant by the Dragon Elephant Divine Ability, had now completely changed, turning into half gold and half silver, clearly divided.

A pitch-black great cauldron, like an eye in the sea, suppressed the surface.

Gold and silver swirled around the cauldron, and a shattered demon pill floated above its mouth.

【Ingredients: Wolf King Demon Pill】

【Refining Effect: Tianlang Power】

【Tianlang Power, formed by the Xiaoyue Tianlang swallowing and exhaling moonlight, merging with its own essence of qi and blood, possesses the ability to restore vitality and control moonlight】

【Refining Progress: Refined!】

"Restore vitality, control moonlight?" Qin Shuo felt a surge of joy.

This is the innate ability of the Xiaoyue Yaowang!

I never expected that, after failing to possess me and being refined by the Taotie Cauldron, the opponent would instead leave all his abilities to me.

"Not bad, not bad; this way, I can also use moonlight to fly!"

Qin Shuo beamed with delight, casting aside all his earlier displeasure.

Boom!

At that moment, the sound of a massive object collapsing drew his attention.

His consciousness returned to reality.

Before his eyes lay a pile of withered, wax-yellow wolf demon corpses, like desiccated remains dead for thousands of years, rotted and weathered.

It turned out to be the corpse of the Xiaoyue Yaowang, which, after rushing into Qin Shuo's body with all its strength, collapsed like rotten wood, unable to bear the weight, and fell with a crash, kicking up dust everywhere.

"Spirit-Linking Profound Jade..."

Qin Shuo suddenly recalled the jade pendant the Demon Saint Bai Ze had given to the Xiaoyue Yaowang in the memory fragments, and immediately began rummaging on the ground.

"Not on the main body; could it be on that human host?"

Thinking this, Qin Shuo said nothing more, transforming into a streak of light and rushing toward the city wall where he had previously battled the wolf king.

This matter concerns the World-Suppressing Divine Weapon and must not be lost.

After all, it is something even the Demon Saint Bai Ze desires, and certainly not an ordinary item.

Perhaps...

It might even be more precious than the Martial Saint Divine Ability.
