Chapter 1265: The First Demon Lord
Could it be that this river channel is related to the underworld in ancient times?
Wu Hao thought so in his heart, and continued to ask Li Ming curiously.
In fact, Li Ming can't tell the details of this ancient river, only that you have always been like this here.
He's just heard some legends that can't be verified.
He mentioned that the newly appeared flowers on the other side of the Red Dust Abyss often appeared on both sides of the ancient river, and then were transplanted by the Youdu or Tianluo forces.
Of course, there are also flowers on the other side of the river that will appear in the river, but the environment of the ancient river is harsh, and fierce beasts are rampant, so it is very difficult to collect flowers on the other side of the river.
There are even some fierce beasts that devour the flowers of the other side, which will produce unknown mutations similar to awakening, becoming even more terrifying existences.
It is said that near the upper reaches of the ancient river, there is an ancient demon dragon entrenched. There is also a three-headed demon dog downstream that leads the murders.
They have become a climate in the Red Dust Abyss, and even the two holy cities can't help it.
Even the airship routes to and from various cities did not dare to approach the realm of these two fierce leaders.
In addition, there are also many powerful fierce beasts and even awakened beasts entrenched in the wild of the Red Dust Abyss, which greatly limits the distribution area of cities in this world.
Most of the cities in the entire Hongchen Abyss are distributed in the Youdu City Agglomeration, the Tianluo City Agglomeration, and the three safe routes that connect them.
One of the so-called three safe routes is the one that Wu Hao and the others are taking now, running through Baishi City, Heishui City, and Fang'an City all the way to the Youdu City Agglomeration.
This route passes through the middle of the realm of the two fierce ones, so it is called the middle road.
In addition to this, there are two other routes.
One is from the secluded capital to the southwest, until it turns at the source of the ancient river in the far west, and then to the southeast until the Tianluo urban agglomeration. This road is called the West Road because it is taken upstream of the river, and it is also called the upper road.
The other is from the southeast, to the east, the most downstream of the ancient river turn, and then to the southwest, which is also directly leading to the Tianluo urban agglomeration. Corresponding to the West Road, this route is called the East Road, which is also called the Lower Road.
So far, only these three routes have been explored, and they are safe routes that can perfectly bypass the two fierce leaders of the Upper Ancient River. Therefore, the thirteen main cities of the south, seven, and north are also distributed on several safe routes.
The six main cities of the Youdu forces are exactly two on average on each route, and the main city of Tianluo is roughly in this pattern, but there is an extra one distributed in the Tianluo urban agglomeration.
This regular distribution is said to be to balance the netherworld energy. Because the netherworld energy of an area can only support a limited number of Manju Sawah. If the two main cities are too close to each other, they will not be able to support the corresponding flowers because of the competition for netherworld energy, and in the end, only one main city will survive.
Over time, this has led to the current pattern.
The two main cities on the middle road of the Youdu forces are Blackwater City and Fang'an City, and Baiyang City is in the south of the Upper Ancient River and belongs to the rule of Baishi City.
The ancient river is said to be a river, but it is actually very wide and vast. Wu Hao and the others were condescending on the airship, and they couldn't see the other side at a glance.
After entering the Ancient River Channel region, Wu Hao felt his heart tighten.
A faint coercion permeated the river range, connecting the heavens and the earth, and it was huge.
At the same time, Wu Hao felt a murderous aura rushing into the sky, and there seemed to be invisible energy around him constantly interfering with his mind, making him even more tyrannical and murderous.
Wu Hao's heart moved, and the illusion realm flashed, and those murderous qi could no longer affect him.
But it was like a breeze blowing on his face, which made him look quite strange.
At this time, Li Ming reminded him to guard his mind and not to be affected by the murderous aura of the ancient river.
It is said that the murderous aura here has existed for countless years, and it is precisely because of these murderous remnants that the ancient river channel is not growing, and it is almost impossible to grow any plants except for the flowers on the other side.
The source of these murderous qi has long been unverifiable, but there are some legends about the origin of the ancient river in the demon world.
One of the most popular legends is about the First Demon Lord.
First, second, third...... Until the sixth, these surnames have a special meaning in the Demon Realm.
It is a surname that can only be given when you become a demon lord, and it is only circulated in the family of the demon lord.
For example, the current Sixth Demon Lord, he is the sixth Demon Lord in the history of the Demon Realm.
The legend of the ancient river channel involves the first demon lord of the demon world.
This demon lord rose after the ancient lich tribulation, and was a fierce man who preached the Tao of "killing".
At that time, the Heavenly Realm was still connected to the Demon Realm, and there was a conflict between the Nine Heavens and the Nine Abysses. It was in this context that the First Demon Lord was born and began the path of perverse practice and slaughtering all souls.
He pursued the principle of "slaughtering all living beings to become true demons", believing that all living beings in this world except him were obstacles on the path of cultivation.
In his eyes, the entire Tai Void, and even the chaotic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi are limited, and if others take more breaths, he will have to take one less breath. Only by letting all living beings disappear and leaving him alone can he realize his Tao and become the strongest demon in the past!
Not only does he have this kind of extreme solipsistic mind, but he also has the strength to match his mind, so he has set off a catastrophe between the heavens and all the worlds.
In the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, he slaughtered the Seven Heavens, and the remaining immortals could only hide in the last Great Luo Heaven and Wuji Heaven to survive.
The Nine Abysses of the Demon Realm was completely slaughtered by him, and he was the only demon left in the entire Demon Realm.
At that time, no one regarded him as the demon lord, and he was also a well-deserved demon lord.
After slaughtering the Heavenly and Demon Realms, he stepped into the heavens and left a terrifying legend in countless worlds.
Later, he was dissatisfied with the fact that after the death of the living soul, the true spirit returned to the underworld, and killed in the underworld.
However, at this time, the actions of the First Demon Lord not only made him stand on the opposite side of the Heavenly Cultivators, but even the two Lich Clans who did not share the same Heaven in the Tribulation were united because of him.
In the underworld, he encountered the ambush of many powerful forces, fought hard, killed and injured countless people, and finally was outnumbered and fell to the underworld.
It is said that when he fell, what he remembered the most was his hometown in the Demon Realm, Hongchen Yuan.
He glanced affectionately at one last time, and a pair of eyeballs burst out, passing through the netherworld and straight into the demon realm.
As far as the eye can see, there is a murderous atmosphere, and there is no grass!
The trajectory of his gaze is what is now the Ancient River Channel.
It is said that the last gaze of the First Demon Lord penetrated through the two worlds of the underworld and the demon world, causing the netherworld energy to pour into the red dust abyss and enter the river left by the gaze track, so that the flowers on the other side of the red dust abyss opened.
It is said that the remnant soul of the first demon lord also entered the demon world with that gaze, and is hiding in a corner of the demon world to accumulate strength in a vain attempt to resurrect.
It is said that the underworld banned and suppressed the demon body of the first demon lord, but did not dare to let the demon creatures reincarnate into the underworld, just to prevent the soul of the first demon lord from becoming unified and causing disaster to the world again. Therefore, now that the creatures of the Demon Realm die, the true spirits will enter purgatory.
It is said that the two eyeballs of the first demon lord have turned into two strange beasts, a demon dragon and a three-headed dog, which are the two fierce river leaders in the ancient river now.
It is said that the remnant soul of the first demon lord is hiding in the red dust abyss.
Maybe one day, when you help the grandmother get on the airship, you will inadvertently see the boundless killing intent flashing in the grandmother's eyes......
