Chapter 147 The Great Demon King of the Nine Netherworlds
"Welcome to the Nine Netherworld Demon Palace."
After a long silence, Keqi Fuxi expressed his welcome.
Di Jue looked at Fuxi with a cold glint in his eyes, but did not speak. However, Fuxi could sense that Di Jue's attitude towards him was very bad.
Ke Bu, on the other hand, smiled and nodded at Fu Xi, and chatted with him for a few words. His attitude was better than Fu Xi had expected.
"Now that Fellow Daoist Yuan Yang has joined my Nine Nether Demon Palace, we have surpassed the Primordial Demon Palace in the number of Taiyi Great Powers. I intend to activate the Holy Land Transcendence, making my Nine Nether Demon Palace the Holy Land among the Seven Heavenly Demon Palaces, and completely suppressing the Primordial Demon Palace!"
Upon hearing Qixu's words, Keqi's expression changed slightly, Dijue looked at Qixu with cold eyes, and Kebu smiled without saying a word.
Fuxi was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what Qixue meant by the transcendence of the holy land. He also couldn't find any information about the transcendence of the holy land in the Great Corridor of the Era.
Qixu seemed to see the doubt in Fuxi's eyes, so he explained to Fuxi what the so-called transcendence of the holy land meant.
The Holy Land Transcendence is a method of selecting leaders for the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, which was decided upon within the palace itself.
Within the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, anyone who can single-handedly defeat six experts from the other six Demon Palaces is qualified to subdue the remaining six Demon Palaces and thus lead the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, transforming it into a unified whole.
However, since the establishment of the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, no one has ever been able to complete the Holy Land Transcendence. Even the original Demon Palace of the past could not defeat the six powerful figures selected from the remaining six Demon Palaces.
"Even if I'm included, only five of us should have guessed correctly. Is there a Taiyi realm expert hidden within our demonic palace?"
Fuxi looked at Qixue and asked.
Since Qixu proposed the transcendence of the Holy Land, he must have the confidence to complete it. In other words, there is still a Taiyi realm expert in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, or someone who is comparable to a Taiyi realm expert.
Qixu smiled at Fuxi and said, "Our Nine Absolutes Suspended Heaven contains endless demonic energy, and only a very small portion of this demonic energy is distributed to the disciples on the nine giant peaks for cultivation."
"Most of the remaining demonic energy in the sea of clouds is accumulating there, sublimating another foundation of my Nine Nether Demon Palace, the Nine Nether Great Heavenly Demon King."
"With the Nine Netherworlds as its root, life and death as its skin, and the demonic nature of the 100,000 disciples of the Demon Palace as its soul, this Great Demon King of the Nine Netherworlds is actually the strongest in my Nine Netherworld Demon Palace."
"With the Great Demon King of the Nine Netherworlds and the other five of us, there is at least a 50-60% chance that my Nine Netherworld Demon Palace will become a holy land."
"A 50-60% chance is too low. I disagree. Last time, the Primordial Demon Palace lost two elders because it was performing a Holy Land Transcendence, and it declined ever since."
"Our Nine Nether Demon Palace is still weaker than the Primal Demon Palace at its peak. If we fail to advance to the Holy Land, our Nine Nether Demon Palace will suffer a great loss of vitality."
Di Jue looked coldly at Qi Xu and rejected Qi Xu's proposal without hesitation.
Di Jue was right; the Primordial Demon Palace was indeed severely weakened after its previous failure to advance to a holy land.
That time, the Primordial Demon Palace lost two elders, which rendered it unable to dominate the Seven Heavens Demon Palace. As a result, the Nine Nether Demon Palace, which was originally at the bottom of the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, rose all the way up to become a top-level demon palace that could rival the Primordial Demon Palace.
Qi Xu glanced at Di Jue without speaking, then looked at the silent Ke Qi, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Ke Bu, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "I agree with the sect leader's opinion. The Primordial Demon Palace's current strength is at its lowest point in tens of millions of years."
"If my Nine Nether Demon Palace still wants to dominate the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, then now is the best opportunity that comes once in a lifetime."
"If we don't take control of the Seven Heavens Demon Palace now, and wait until the Primal Demon Palace recovers its peak strength, then the other side will definitely start the Holy Land advancement immediately. At that time, it will be difficult for us to advance to the Holy Land."
Upon hearing Ke Bu's words, Ke Qi's expression darkened, while Di Jue's expression grew even colder. Ke Bu's words clearly indicated that he was thinking of Qi Xu, and obviously, Ke Bu had already joined Qi Xu at some point.
As Fuxi watched the four people arguing, he gradually realized that the two leaders, Qixu and Keqi, were engaged in a power struggle, each vying for control of the Nine Nether Demon Palace.
Although Keqi, the former sect leader, was severely injured, he still possessed the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor, the most powerful treasure of the Nine Netherworld Demon Palace, and had Di Jue, a powerful expert at the Taiyi realm, by his side.
Qixu, the current leader, has the support of Kebu. In addition, Fuxi has now been pulled into the Nine Nether Demon Palace by Qixu, and he will inevitably be counted as Qixu's person by Keqi and Dijue.
Although they did not obtain the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor, Qixu's side had three powerful beings at the Taiyi realm.
In addition, Keqi was severely injured by Zhenwu's Xuantian Zhenlong Sword and his injuries have not yet recovered. Among the two factions, Qixu's side is clearly stronger, of course, this is the result of counting Fuxi as Qixu's side.
"Let's talk about the Holy Land's ascension later. I'm still recovering from my serious injuries and I don't have the confidence to stop Fu Li. I believe that without the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor, you wouldn't have much confidence to stop the Demonic Pearl in Fu Li's hand either."
Keqi looked at Qixu and said coldly. Qixu looked at Keqi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually turned cold. The terrifying demonic flames on his body burned away all the brilliance and demonic energy in the hall.
"Now that I am the sect leader, shouldn't you return the Nine Netherworld Armor to me? With the Nine Netherworld Armor, I can block Fu Li, or even kill him."
"The Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor was also damaged in the great battle with Zhenwu, and it will take some time to repair."
Keqi coldly refused Qixu. He was seriously injured and his strength was not what it used to be. If it weren't for the Nine Nether Saint Armor, Qixu would have secretly killed him long ago.
The Nine Netherworld Armor is Keqi's protective charm. Before his strength is restored, Keqi will not hand over the Nine Netherworld Armor to Qixu. Once Keqi's strength is restored, it will be Keqi's turn to worry about whether he will be purged by Qixu.
"Intrigue and backstabbing, it's no wonder that such a demonic path, despite its great strength, cannot even completely conquer the Western Regions. But this is even better, so that I have a chance to eliminate such a demonic path."
Fuxi watched the ongoing clash between Keqi and Qixu with an expressionless face. Qixu looked at Keqi with an increasingly cold expression, knowing what Keqi meant.
Looking at Ke Bu and Fu Xi beside him, Qi Xu was planning to make his move at this moment. With three against two, even if Ke Qi had the Nine Netherworld Armor, their chances of winning were not small.
However, upon seeing the pairs of scarlet demonic eyes emerging from the ninefold abyss behind Keqi, Qixu's expression changed drastically. He knew that this was the Great Heavenly Demon King of the Nine Netherworlds in the sea of clouds, and he had not yet fully refined this Heavenly Demon King.
