# Chapter 835: Demon Bodhi
"Boom, rumble!" Terrifying shocking sounds rolled and moved, heaven and earth seemed to be churning. The entire vast Death Valley boiled at this moment. Countless beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, and those flying creatures in the void dared not fly through the air, becoming utterly silent.
Cracking sounds continued without end. Frightening fissures appeared in the earth, like a destructive earthquake about to demolish the entire valley.
Most terrifying of all was that demonic cloud, shooting straight into the sky, blotting out the sun and covering the sky, spreading in all directions. In an instant, the entire valley was shrouded by this terrifying darkness. Heaven and earth changed color, and the dreadful demonic cloud continued to expand outward.
At this moment, outside Death Valley, several figures stood guard. They were people from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Although they believed Lin Feng would surely die if he entered Death Valley, they worried he might only be at the valley's periphery without venturing deep inside and thus survive by luck. So they had waited here for several days.
Suddenly, the sky darkened. They looked up and saw the demonic cloud blotting out the sun and covering the sky. Boundless terrifying aura made their bodies tremble slightly.
What's happening? What is this?
This aura came from within Death Valley.
These people looked at each other, the shock in their eyes impossible to conceal. Their hearts pounded violently.
Enter Death Valley, and all becomes emptiness. Legend has it that Death Valley contains an immeasurably vast Demon Sealing Stele, which forms a terrifying Demon Sealing Mountain Range, suppressing a world-shaking demon lord.
Legends were ultimately just legends. No one knew what was actually inside, only that this was a forbidden land—enter and you die. But now, truth seemed to be aligning with legend. This surging demonic qi seemed about to crush the very heavens, making each of them breathe rapidly, too shocked to speak.
Could the legend be true? Was the world-shaking demon lord suppressed within Death Valley about to break free from his seal?
"Boom!" A terrifying explosive sound shook heaven and earth. Mountains quaked, the entire valley trembled and shuddered. Even those outside Death Valley could clearly feel the earth rolling and shaking without end.
"Hahaha! You sealed me for a thousand years, but I have still emerged. Once I, Three Lives Demon Emperor, recover my injuries, I will take back everything that belongs to me!" A wild, arrogant roar rolled through the air. The terrifying demonic cloud completely buried heaven and earth, spreading in all directions like flowing light, transmitting hundreds of miles away.
Countless people's bodies trembled, as if the sky were about to collapse and press down upon them. Even without hearing the Three Lives Demon Emperor's voice, just sensing that world-destroying demonic qi, people could vaguely guess that a supreme demon lord had emerged into the world.
Demon Emperor! Three Lives Demon Emperor!
People within a hundred miles of Death Valley heard the shocking rolling sounds and were shaken to the ground. Demon Emperor—from the direction of Death Valley, a world-shaking demon lord had broken through the seal.
Their gazes all turned toward Death Valley. There, a pitch-black figure stood proudly in the void, looking down upon the world, turning his hand to command clouds. The demonic cloud around him transformed into a tsunami, howling toward the heavens, like a terrifying hurricane storm, rolling endlessly skyward.
The demonic figure took a step, directly striding into the hurricane in the sky above, entering that terrifying demonic whirlwind. Then the whirlwind vortex spun wildly and gradually closed. The demonic figure seemed to transcend time and space in an instant, completely disappearing.
The churning demonic cloud quieted considerably, gradually thinning, yet still drifting in that stretch of void, lingering there as if it would never disappear.
At this moment, within Death Valley, a figure who had been frantically running finally stopped, completely drenched through. This frantic figure was naturally Lin Feng.
Stopping, Lin Feng turned his body and looked toward the void. Gone. That demon lord had simply left like that. He had used Lin Feng's power to strike that devastating palm against the seal character, then used his incomparably terrifying strength to shatter the Demon Sealing Stele, breaking the seal and suppression. From then on, unrestrained and unbound, he had torn through the void and departed.
Before the demon lord left, Lin Feng had clearly sensed a gaze—a gaze that could kill a person, making his whole body stiffen and become completely drenched. Three Lives Demon Emperor, a world-shaking demon lord—he was simply not someone Lin Feng could resist. If he had wanted to kill Lin Feng, Lin Feng would probably have died countless times by now.
Perhaps the Three Lives Demon Emperor simply saw him as an ant, too lazy to kill him. Killing an ant would be beneath his status. Or perhaps, since the Three Lives Demon Emperor had used Lin Feng's hand to escape, he spared his life. Exactly why the Three Lives Demon Emperor didn't kill him, Lin Feng didn't know. All he knew was that he was still alive, very much alive.
Moreover, being alive, he had obtained a set of Divine Mind techniques, a set of Carefree Step techniques, and a Three Lives Demon Scripture. The harvest could not be considered meager.
Staring at the shattered Demon Sealing mountain wall, Lin Feng stepped forward, quickly flashing toward the broken wall.
Moments later, he arrived at the place where the Three Lives Demon Emperor had been suppressed. The enormous Demon Sealing mountain wall had now been blasted apart. The mountain-sized Demon Sealing Stele had also shattered into pieces, scattered throughout Death Valley by the terrifying explosive force from earlier. But Lin Feng had to admire the Demon Sealing Stele's toughness. Withstanding the Demon Emperor's blast, the earth had cracked open, but although the Demon Sealing Stele had shattered, it hadn't turned to powder. Instead, the enormous stele had broken into individual stone tablets, just like the Demon Sealing Stele suppressed within his own body.
His form flickering, Lin Feng waved his hand, grabbing a piece of the Demon Sealing Stele from the ground. This piece of the Demon Sealing Stele was broken, but its edges were extremely smooth, showing no signs of having been shattered. It seemed to be repairing itself. Even more shocking to Lin Feng was that on this Demon Sealing Stele, a character had spontaneously formed: Seal, outlined by terrifying patterns, containing the power of sealing and suppression.
The Demon Sealing Stele truly was a spiritual stele of heaven and earth. Even damaged, it could repair itself, automatically forming the Seal character and giving birth to an incomparably powerful sealing force.
Putting away the Demon Sealing Stele, Lin Feng's gaze settled on the place where the Demon Emperor had been. There was an enormous pit there, and within the pit, a demonic tree slowly grew, instantly maturing.
On the tree hung Bodhi fruits, but they were not crystal clear and translucent. Instead, they were pitch black, filled with the aura of the demonic path.
When Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators go into seclusion to cultivate, their will is strong, and they can produce Will Crystals. When Venerable Realm cultivators cultivate and comprehend Essence, if the time is long enough, they can produce Essence Crystals.
Now, the Three Lives Demon Emperor had been suppressed and sealed here for a thousand years, which also meant he had cultivated here for a thousand years. A thousand years of demonic nature—how intense was that? Of course, a Demon Emperor cultivating wouldn't produce Will Crystals or Essence Crystals. What he produced was a demonic path supreme treasure: Demon Bodhi.
Legend has it that when the ancient divine Buddha achieved great enlightenment, Bodhi trees spontaneously grew beside him. Demons, naturally, could also nurture Demon Bodhi.
"This Demon Bodhi tree is a supreme treasure for demonic path cultivators." Brilliant light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He stepped forward and directly collected the Demon Bodhi tree into his storage ring. The Demon Bodhi fruits on the tree naturally all belonged to him as well.
"Whoosh!" Waves of terrifying aura came, filled with the demonic qi of death. Lin Feng collected a few more pieces of the Demon Stele, varying in size. He looked around, and his pupils contracted. A group of various-colored beasts was surrounding him. The Demon Emperor had torn through the void and left, giving birth to the Demon Bodhi. These beasts had sensed the aura and come rushing over, only to find nothing. Of course, this human had taken it.
"Damn it." Lin Feng cursed inwardly. These beasts had bodies as hard as iron and stone, impossible to destroy, and they also carried the aura of death. Although their levels weren't too high, when an endless horde of beasts charged, the death qi could kill a person. Lin Feng had deeply experienced their terror. If not for possessing the Emperor's palace, which could resist that terrible death qi and blast the beasts' bodies away, he would never have been able to reach the depths of Death Valley.
If it had been anyone else, even if their cultivation was much higher than his, they still wouldn't have been able to enter. They would inevitably have been corroded by that death qi and died.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" A wild, tyrannical hurricane whipped against his body. Lin Feng felt as if he were suffocating. The destructive death qi came from the void, making Lin Feng's brow furrow tightly as he looked toward that incomparably massive beast shadow.
"What a terrifying crow beast!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. This beast should be the Crow King. When he had entered earlier, it hadn't appeared. Perhaps it simply hadn't deemed him worthy, thinking that an ant like him, a Mysterious Martial Realm human, could be killed with ease.
