Chapter 241: The Demon of the Heart

Now the top of his golden platform looks very unorthodox, and most of the place is occupied by large and small bluestones, and the ground between the stones is scattered with some cakes, buns, meat, and the like.

Li Bochen walked to the edge of the golden platform, straightened the helmet on his head, squinted his eyes and looked down.

Wearing this helmet outside, he could see the direction of the earth's qi, and he secretly thought that there should be wonderful changes in this world. Sure enough, now that I saw this, I immediately gasped.

In the light radiating from the golden platform, he saw a dense crowd of figures.

This platform has ten layers, and there is a throne on this layer where he is full of miscellaneous things, and each layer below is surrounded by a circle of platforms, when I used to look at it, I felt that the platform was not wide, only allowing two or three people to walk in parallel, but at this time, there was a strange change in the line of sight. Each layer seems to have become a separate piece. For example, he knew that the ninth floor was below his tenth layer, but he could "see" through the past and see the appearance of one of the entire platforms. In the past, these ten layers were narrowed, but at this time, the remaining nine layers look like they are all of average size.

The platforms were not empty, and there was a throne on each floor. On the throne, there is a humanoid illusion, and there are two rows of figures on both sides of the throne, just like the second class of civil and military affairs.

Li Bochen's heart jumped - nine layers!

It is said that under the throne of the Beichen Emperor, there are nine other Yuan monarchs. They are: Yangming greedy wolf Yuanjun, **Jumen Yuanjun, Zhenren Lucun Yuanjun, Tongxuanwen Qu Yuanjun, Dan Yuan Zhenlian Yuanjun, Arctic Wuqu Yuanjun, Tianguan Pojun Yuanjun, Dongming Zuofu Yuanjun, Hidden Yuan Right Bi Yuanjun.

He had heard that these nine Yuan Monarchs were high in the Nine Heavens, and he originally thought that they were independent of this realm. You can see the scene in front of you...... Could it be that the so-called Nine Heavens only refers to the remaining nine layers of this golden platform?

Those phantoms beside every Yuan Jun should be the true monarch and spirit official under the Yuan Jun's seat. Li Bochen counted them slightly, and only felt that there were nearly two hundred people.

These visions ...... Is it like the god general who guards the ghost gate in Jiusan, they are just gods?

Although Li Bochen had guessed that the ghost spirit gods of Beichen's lineage were gone, but now when he saw this scene, he felt that his hair stood on end—so many Yuan Jun, True Monarch, and Spirit Official, if they were placed in the mortal world, they were all ruthless characters who could subvert heaven and earth with a single move...... What kind of crisis did you encounter to be wiped out!?

He looked at these visions now, only to feel as if he was looking at a ghost, and it took a long time for him to slowly recover and look down again.

His eyes fell on the Nai He Bridge, and he saw that there were also two humanoid visions on the bridge. These two are familiar to him - last night Wei Zongshan used the technique of "life and death", and when he came to this realm, what he saw was that the gods of these two people had reacted. It's just that it wasn't clear then, but now it's clear. I saw one person in black armor and one person in white armor, the face of the black armor had an angry look, and the white armor was smiling. This should be the legendary black and white Yan Jun.

These two Yan Jun were also surrounded by dozens of figures, and they were also spiritual officials under their command.

Li Bochen looked around so closely and realized that there should have been hundreds of spirit gods in this realm. When he didn't have this helmet, he felt that he was the only one here, but now he realized that there were so many gods in the first place—they used to hold authority and perform luck, but now there are only some phantoms left.

His heart moved again, and he looked outside the ghost gate - since the divine position already existed, why did he only become an echo worm when he sealed the ninety-three that day?

In the past, Jiusan, the gatekeeper, was just a golden man. But now that I can see the divine position, I realize that his appearance has changed—outside his body, there is also a circle of phantom outlines. And he, the golden man, filled in this outline, his figure shimmering, like a lamp about to go out.

Li Bochen frowned and thought about it, and said secretly, looking at him like this, it was very similar to a cultivator who noticed the loss of spiritual power in his body when he looked inside. Could it be that if you want to succeed to this divine position, you must cultivate to a certain level?

Thinking of this, he tried to shout: "Ninety-three listen to the order!"

Jiusan was originally standing stupidly in front of the door, but when he listened to his words, his expression immediately became vivid, and he also shouted: "Jiusan listens to orders!"

He's still a sound bug. But Li Bochen tried to say again: "A quarter of an hour later, thunder will fall!"

Jiusan repeated his words again.

Li Bochen stood on the golden platform and waited. The spirits under the Beichen seat are all acting for the luck of the Beichen. Is it because of his lack of cultivation that he was robbed of his sanity by the divine position? If you look at it this way, he is a puppet of his own. But after all, he is a puppet who also has responsibilities, and now that the ghost door has been opened, none of the yin spirits outside have wandered in, so it can be seen that he can do things when he is away.

Then perhaps, he will be able to carry out his orders.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiusan really shouted: "Thunder!"

An electric snake suddenly poked down from the zenith thunderclouds and was bombarding the wasteland outside the gate. Li Bochen was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "Listen, if you want to break into the monster in this realm later, you will protect the law for this monarch!"

Jiusan drank his words again, and Li Bochen sat down cross-legged on top of the golden platform and ran his true qi.

His body was already full of spiritual power, as if the embankment was full of river water. What is needed now is to channel the water slowly and into the dry river downstream. The current should not be too small, nor too large, but it should be able to widen the meridians just right, but not be overly violent and cause damage to itself.

And this stream of water is not just one, but many. Practitioners usually meditate and temper their spirits in order to be able to separate many minds at this juncture and guide each strand through the twists and turns of the deep place. When Li Bochen was in Infinite City, he categorically didn't dare to think that he would be able to do this one day, but with the experience of the previous Jin Realm, now he felt that it was a matter of course - the divine mind did not need to use his subjective consciousness too much, and the divine consciousness would naturally lead the way.

He thought that this should be because the Beichen One Vein Technique was originally passed down by the emperor. Now that he has become an emperor, that is, "cultivating his own magic", he is naturally more handy than anyone in this world.

As soon as the spiritual power was run, he began to rush through the level according to the record in the Beichen Heart Cassia Essentials. At this time, he had settled down, and the spiritual platform was empty. I can perceive the appearance of my surroundings and hear the sounds around me, but I can't afford to have a single distraction in my heart.

The aura runs like this, and the gradual awakening of the whole body is comfortable, which is wonderful. After a while, I slowly smelled a slight fragrance around me, as if I was in a green grass shrouded in sunlight. As soon as the thought moved, I could still listen to the faint birdsong.

Li Bochen felt the warmth on his body, and the feeling of bliss radiated from the inside out. One meridian after another in his body was washed away, and the spiritual power hidden in the meridians before also began to nourish his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Bochen slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He saw that all around him were full of flowers and plants, and the trees above him were lush and green. In the distance, a large lake shimmered in the bright sun, steaming in clouds of mist. He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and secretly said, hey, am I a dragon and tiger now!?

I was worried that there would be a demon king clone coming, but when I look at it this way, it is a thrilling one!

He couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the lake, only to see a woman sitting there. The woman's back was somewhat familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember who it was. He stopped and frowned, and said in his heart I have a good memory, and I haven't seen many women, why did I forget it at this time?

As soon as he thought of this, the woman stood up. Take a few quick steps and plunge into the lake. She moved very fast, Li Bochen didn't have time to stop her, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that the lake had calmed down again.

He was still happy in his heart before, but now when he suddenly saw such a change, his heart sank suddenly.

He stared at the surface of the lake, and suddenly couldn't help but think, in fact, this woman is dead. But everyone who wants to end their lives feels that the pain brought by living is unbearable. Since he left Boundless City, he has encountered many twists and turns along the way. What I went through was really just to survive.

But if you think about it now, what is the purpose of life?

If you want to live, you have a lot of worries every day, just to solve a bunch of troubles every day so that you can continue to "live", then it is still the same question - what is life for?

Is it just to suffer, to suffer those troubles?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt discouraged. Besides, what if I am already in the Dragon and Tiger Realm, how many gods in this realm will it take to be able to seal them all? Where can I find someone I can trust? Right now, even Fang Yu ...... Can I trust it? If one day someone buys him with his wealth and even threatens him with his mother's life, won't Fang Tan betray me?

At the end of the day, he's a living person, not my attachment. He did his best for me today, perhaps to repay the favor. But this kindness will always fade, and at that time, what I want is the future, right, what if I can't give it?

He felt like a knife for a while, and couldn't help but beat his chest with his hand, only to feel a bang. After beating it a few times, I felt a little more relaxed in my heart, so I went to beat it again. But when he raised his hand three more times, he suddenly felt a slight numbness on his body, as if someone had carried a bucket of ice water and his head fell down.

Li Bochen was stunned, and several thoughts popped up in his heart at the same time: What kind of bastard thing did I just think about? People naturally live to live, and even when animals are slaughtered, they have to struggle to survive. Others don't talk about it, but only about myself - I, a dignified man born between heaven and earth, don't want to live because I feel that I have to suffer a lot of trouble and suffering to live, so what's the difference between that and a lazy person who is afraid of being too tired to do things?

My life, even if I really want to take it myself, should be for justice, righteousness, and others, and I definitely don't want to be idle in this world!

In an instant, the grass, forests, and lakes in front of me all receded like a tide. Li Bochen opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw that his breastplate had been hammered by himself, and the broken pieces of armor were piercing into the flesh. One of the right hands was even more bloody, and several cuts were also cut. I also felt that the meridians on my body seemed to be filled with a moving knife, and I was scrambling to drill out. He felt a pang in his heart, realizing that he had not advanced to the Dragon and Tiger Realm, but was about to go mad!

Was it just the Demon King's clone here!?

At this time, there was another warning in his heart, and he only felt that something was wrong behind him, so he immediately stood up and turned his face to look back. At this glance, he saw a face—almost face-to-face with him, with red eyes like brass bells, a high protruding nose, a large mouth full of fangs, and a face full of coarse green hair, no different from a ghost.

Rao is Li Bochen prides himself on being bold, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he raised his leg and kicked it. But this thing also lifted its legs at the same time, and the two of them pressed against each other's feet, and took two steps back at the same time.

At this time, Li Bochen saw the appearance of this thing - he was wearing black armor, and there was a black shawl dancing around his body, which was not like an ordinary material, but more like a swirling black gas. And his posture is exactly the same as his own - Li Bochen clenched his injured right fist to protect his heart at this time, and poked his left hand out slightly, this thing did the same, as if he was imitating him.

Li Bochen wanted to draw the knife, but as soon as he had this thought, he felt that his body was in great pain, and his spiritual power was surging for a while. He knew that he was at the juncture of the Gong rush just now, but he was interrupted by this thing, and his spiritual power could no longer be restrained. At the moment, not only is it so painful that I almost want to grab the ground with my head, but I also feel that the joints on my body are slowly rusting, and I feel extremely difficult to move.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you!?"

The ghost on the other side immediately opened his mouth like him, but what came out of his mouth were other words: "I am the Black Heaven Demon King's Prison Chou Lang Department!" Li Bochen, now that you have gone mad, you are going to destroy your foundation, it is better to go to the Pure Heaven with this Demon King, not only to preserve your cultivation, but also to be a demon god!"

When Li Bochen heard this, a nameless fire suddenly flashed in his heart, and without thinking about it, he blurted out his words and shouted: "I am the Emperor Beichen! If you want me to be a demon god, you little demon king is not qualified enough, I'm afraid you have to ask your demon lord to come! You open your eyes and see, what kind of place is this!?"

When he said this, he shouted again, "Where is Jiusan!?"

He drank it, but there was no response. Looking at the Jintai again, the Ghost Gate Pass, the Nai He Bridge, and the Agni River were all gone, and there was only endless black gas in the eyes. There were also countless yin spirits churning and howling in the black air, and the yin wind gusted. He looked into the sky again, and saw that the rolling thunderclouds were gone—and the sky was also dark, and his eyes seemed to be sucked in!

Seeing this scene, Li Bochen said in his heart, could it be that I was brought to the Demon Realm!?

But the thought turned again, and suddenly remembered the scene when he met the Yellow Sky Demon King Hengtian before-this time I first saw an illusion unconsciously, and at that time, I also unknowingly saw the beautiful woman incarnated by the Demon King. The illusion was broken, and the Hengtian Blade at that time turned into Tao Chunxi's appearance again, and he beheaded Tao Chunxi before he finally survived.

Could it be that the black-armored demon king in front of him is the same as it was at that time, but it is a second illusion?

But this experience seems to be even more difficult than it was then—I already know that I am in an illusion, but I can't get out!

Seeing that a trace of fear flashed across his face, the Black Sky Demon King's Prison Chou Langbu immediately laughed and said, "What Beichen, what emperor?

After he said this, he no longer imitated Li Bochen's appearance, and suddenly stretched out his hands and went straight to his heart.

This demon king also wears armor on his hands, and his ten fingers stick out a long sharp blade, if he is really caught, he is afraid that he will poke his heart cold. Li Bochen didn't know at this moment what step he had reached outside the illusion, and whether he had really gone mad. But just looking at himself in the illusion, he knew that there was no longer the possibility of holding back those surging spiritual powers, so he simply turned his heart sideways and let go of the constraints on the meridians in an instant.

The aura in his body disappeared suddenly, and his body was full of chaos. This sharp pain must be tasted in reality, but I am afraid that no matter how the iron man beats, he will be hurt to death. But he is still in the illusion now, although the pain is extreme, he can't pass out, but he is full of bravery, he draws out the magic knife, and slashes his head at the prison ugly Lang.

He didn't dodge, and the demon king's claws poked into his chest. But compared to the pain that is about to be dissipated, this pain is like a cool antidote. Li Bochen didn't care whether his heart was ripped out by him or not, and he still cut it down with a knife, and he was splitting the head of the demon king's incarnation in half.

But this thing can still live at this time, both sides of the head and eyeballs have been cut out, but the two and a half mouths are still talking, and said: "What a warrior! Even this heart is like iron, but your iron heart is entangled in the world's miscellaneous things, won't it be rusty, you take a good look yourself, what has become of it!?"

With this, the demon king jumped back violently, and the two heads closed again. Li Bochen felt a chill in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that it was already a hole the size of a sea bowl. Look at the demon king's hand, there is indeed an iron heart, which should be shiny, but the surface is crawling with rust, and in some places it looks like it has corroded out of holes.

He clearly knew that this was an illusion, but his body still felt suddenly weak, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground.

When I looked to the side again, I saw myself sitting cross-legged on the ground, his hands still with seals, but his face was blue and panting like a cow, and he seemed to be unlucky, and it was really a critical moment. Seeing this scene, Li Bochen's heart lit up again - this is indeed an illusion, but it is also an illusion in his own consciousness. If this body is defeated here, won't the divine consciousness also be destroyed!?

I now see beyond this vision, which is the imminent death of man...... Is it because of the return to the light!?

At this moment, his heart finally became at a loss—could I really not have crossed this hurdle this time, and I would die here?

He had such a thought in his life, and he felt like he was falling apart, and he used the magic knife to support it, but he didn't hold it up, and he fell to the ground. Seeing this, the demon king laughed and said, "Fool, just let me go!"

Li Bochen sighed in his heart, but he still glared angrily, wanting to scold. However, before the words could be spoken, I suddenly heard a person shouting: "Demon demon, dare you to spread wilderness here!?"

Then a golden human figure appeared in mid-air, and immediately dispersed all the rolling black clouds under the stage and in the sky. Li Bochen didn't know where this person came from, he was shocked and surprised in his heart, and he looked at it fixedly, but he felt that the person's appearance was very familiar-

It was a tall and great man, with a handsome face and three points of majesty. Wearing a golden armor, wearing a gold-maned ancient helmet, holding a large lance, a magic knife hanging from his waist, the golden light around his body, and stepping on seven-colored auspicious clouds.

As soon as he appeared at this time, the light almost burned people's eyes, and even the incarnation of the Black Heaven Demon King's Prison Chou Lang Department screamed, as if he was very afraid of the golden light on his body, and retreated one after another.

Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth, and almost shouted out loud-

Isn't that what I look like!?

The demon king took a few steps back, and the silk around him suddenly turned into a dark cloud to wrap him before he could stand, glaring at a pair of copper bells and big eyes and saying angrily: "Who dares to come and harm my good deeds!?"

I only heard the golden man in mid-air shouting: "I am afraid of the true monarch!"
