Exorcism

Tuo Kaicheng is the son of the fourth generation King Tuo Shishen, and he is also the only demon slave who has ever escaped from Zhibu Kingdom. If what the half-demon said is true, then he is already five or six thousand years old, and has lived longer than Lord Yishi. , live longer than the Taoist priest who takes Yuemang.

"This is impossible." After listening to Mu Xingqiu's brief introduction, Mr. Yishi immediately shook his head, "If your story is true, this development must be false."

The long-haired half-demon hundreds of steps away was surprised, "Who are you? You actually know about me. This should be a secret, passed down from generation to generation by King Saishen, and you are just a human."

"Haha, 'just a human being.'" Mr. Yishi repeated this sentence in a sarcastic tone, turned around and flew around, making a half circle, and stopped a few hundred steps away from the left hand of the half-demon, forming a tripod with Mu Xingqiu. trend.

Mu Xingqiu did not hide anything, and gave an overview of the crises that had occurred both at home and abroad.

The half-demon listened attentively, his long hair swaying slightly, and an unspeakable look occasionally flashed across his skinny face. Mu Xingqiu did not miss every change of the other party, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

"So that's it. I thought the demon clan would appear in the world five hundred years or more later." Taku Kaicheng sighed softly.

Mu Xingqiu and Mr. Yishi in the distance looked at each other, and both felt that this half-demon was not simple. After hearing so much news, what he cared about most was not being trapped in Zhibu Bang.

"Tell your story, prince." Mr. Yishi said strangely, still not believing that any demon clan could survive longer than himself. "You escaped from Zipou State, why did you come back?"

"My story? Escape from Stop State?" Tuo Kaicheng didn't seem to understand these two sentences. Slowly, he smiled, like a person who had slept too deeply and woke up unexpectedly and still felt like he was in a dream. It will take a while to fully return to reality, "My story is very long, you have to be patient. In fact, I have never escaped from the stop state."

The old king of Sheshen Kingdom did not lie. What he told was a secret passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors. There was indeed a "Tuo Kaicheng" who returned to the capital and told his father about his miraculous experience, leaving behind strange exercises and Niwan Palace. There is a little person in it, but he is not the prince himself.

It was a phantom.

The real prince Tuo Kaicheng was invaded by the demon species due to an accident, and entered the Stop State in a daze. Here, like all demon slaves, he had to suppress the demon species and remove his memory. After doing both, he could plant trees.

Tuo Kaicheng did it and turned from a prince into a demon slave without knowing it. He just felt that he was clumsy and not suitable for the work of planting trees, so he was punished a lot. When Zhibu Bang asked for another batch of black wood, he was the first to be selected as the logger.

Harvesting black wood is a very dangerous job. If you take one step too late, you will be burned to death. He fainted before he could chop down the black wood. What happened next was the greatest adventure in his life. .

It opened up and was wrapped in something, leaving only a small gap in front of his eyes, and then sank into the ground, moving slowly on the island. He was frightened at first, because the state at that time was like being buried alive. Soon Later, he discovered that the wrapping on his body was injecting nutrients into his body. He would not die, but he could not move.

In this way, the prince became a strange creature moving underground, with only a faint flicker of light in front of his eyes. He gradually recognized that the body was wrapped in a thick layer of roots, and the faint light was also emitted by them.

Tuo Kaicheng endured loneliness and fear that even a Taoist priest could not imagine. He did not go crazy or lose consciousness. Instead, he recovered his previous memories and felt that the roots not only provide the body with necessary nutrients, but also contain abundant energy. strength.

At first, in order to give himself something to do, he used the sorcery techniques he had learned to absorb the power from the roots. Gradually, he fell in love with this feeling and was immersed in it. There seemed to be a voice in the dark guiding him and correcting him. His training method even teaches techniques for using this power.

After learning enough techniques, Taokai was able to break away from the roots and return to the ground, but he couldn't let go. The power in the roots was vast, but he could only absorb a very small part. He had a feeling that he could be wrapped by the roots. , it takes a huge opportunity. Once you get out of it, you may never be able to enter this state again.

After a while, Tuo Kaicheng missed his father and brother who died in junior high school, and he also wanted to try his newly learned magic. He noticed that there were real and fake creatures on the ground. The fake creatures were controlled by some kind of magic, and he could take them away.

As a result, a local official on the island got too close to the black wood forest and was burned to death out of curiosity. He didn't even leave his body behind. In fact, he turned into a stone, and the Five Elements Water illusion in his body was completely removed. cast a similar spell.

The stone grew four legs and jumped into the sea at night. It took almost a year to find the way out. Outside, the stone transformed into a shape and went all the way to the capital city of Saishen, bringing his father an amazing surprise. information.

Prince Stone refused to let the royal family come to Zhibu State to save people, because there was no one to save. Tu Kaicheng voluntarily stayed underground, hoping to wait until the power was strong enough before coming out. As for those roots, he never said clear words, let alone made any demands. rescue.

Tuo Kaicheng knew that the spell he had learned was too unique and would likely attract the attention of the orthodox once it spread, so he only taught a few simple tricks to reshape the Niwan Palace of some Tuo descendants, especially King Sheshen, and Leave a little figure inside so that you can directly contact the Tuo clan when needed.

The magic in Prince Stone's body gradually disappeared, and he died in the palace not long after. No demon clan discovered his true identity until he was buried.

As time goes by, the underground life remains unchanged, and the country of Saishen is like a pool of stagnant water. The ambitions of the previous generation have long since dissipated, and the fear of orthodoxy has gradually faded away. The family affection that has developed into the heart has finally been diluted in the river of time, and has become more and more... The more obsessed you are with absorbing the abundant power from your roots.

But contrary to expectations, not only was Tuo Kaicheng unable to possess the power, but the power that had been absorbed into the body was also slowly lost, part of it melting into the soil, and part of it returning to the roots.

Tuo Kaicheng patiently tried various methods and ignored external affairs. After a few years, he entered a state of half-asleep and half-awake, almost becoming a part of the roots. Only in this way can he occupy more power. As long as he wakes up , the power will be lost quickly.

At the same time, Tuo Kaicheng's perception gradually expanded, and he was finally able to detect all the subtle changes in the entire island, but he rarely thought about it and simply accepted it. He discovered that there was more than one human or demon clan wrapped in roots and wandering underground like him. Those demon slaves who were burned to death when cutting down black wood would be wrapped in roots by chance, and usually they would be successful. None.

Ke Tuo Kaicheng's consciousness is also getting weaker and weaker, which is the price he must pay in order to obtain more power.

He even forgot the time and just moved around underground, never leaving the remote peninsula. At some point, his consciousness returned to Tuo Kaicheng's mind, and he first noticed that there were a large number of false creatures on the ground. , and then found that he was not within the scope of the island, and the power in the roots was weakening.

Out of an instinctive reaction, Tuo Kaicheng activated most of the spells in the small illusion, and the wood and stones turned into human forms again and possessed mana.

Takusei waited underground for a long time before slowly regaining control of his body. He could no longer absorb power from the roots, but was in danger of being absorbed. So he cast a spell to get rid of the roots, returned to the ground, and discovered everything It's all different from what I remember.

"The sacred tree is dying..." Tuo Kaicheng looked at the burning island. Various ideas came to him, some of them contradictory, but he had not yet decided which ones to keep and which ones to expel.

Mu Xingqiu listened carefully, and Lord Yishi rarely interrupted at will. In fact, his impression of the Prince of Sacrifice completely changed. At this time, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked slowly: "The mud of the contemporary Prince of Sacrifice" Are there any human figures in Marumiya?"

"Yes." Mu Xingqiu said.

A smile appeared on Mr. Yishi's face, "Prince Kaicheng, can you still contact the little people in Niwan Palace?"

Tuo Kaicheng fell into talking to himself, "The sacred tree gave me power and regarded me as part of it. Killing the god means killing me. Both the Taoist lineage and the demons are my... enemies."

"Don't be in a hurry to make enemies." Mr. Yishi advised, only fifty steps away from Tuo Kaicheng, "The Taoists are hiding, and it will take several years for the demon species to break out of the void. They are all outside the Stop State, no matter what Anyway, the only serious thing is to leave here first.”

"Leave?" Tuo Kaicheng looked at Mr. Yishi, his mind gradually stabilized, "No, I won't leave. The sacred tree is the source of power. What I gain is only a drop in the ocean. Too much power enters my body and flows out. They all belong to Me, I want to get it back."

"The sacred tree is about to be burned down, brother." Mr. Yishi admitted that Tuo Kaicheng was qualified to call him a brother, "Zhibu State will also be destroyed. You have slept for thousands of years and just woke up. Don't you want to die like this?" "

"The sacred tree will die, but the power will not." Tuo Kaicheng finally remembered all the past events and knew what his character should be. "Death is the transfer of power. I once killed my brother with my own hands in order to inherit As for the throne, I am now the only successor to the sacred tree. The sacred tree has no consciousness and will not resist, so let me act on its behalf. I will be the first conscious god in the world!"

The more Yishi heard, the more surprised he became, "Since you want to be a god, then break the restrictions of the orthodoxy first."

Takusei turned to look at Mr. Ishi, his eyes burning brighter than the burning Dao fire, "I have to inherit all the power of the sacred tree first, and I don't want to share it with any humans or monsters."

"it's up to you……"

Mr. Ishi is still showing weakness, but the successor of "God" has already taken action. Heat waves surge from his body, almost melting steel.

Mu Xingqiu controlled the lightning in the sky to fight, and the entire country was shaking.
