Fang Ming mentally assessed the strength of this Lu Ya Daojun, estimating it to be just beyond ordinary Immortal Kings, reaching the level of peak Immortal Kings—the weakest of the Ancient Sages.
He could stay and test his might.
After all, Fang Ming lowered his gaze.
According to the "Soul Heart Core," it was estimated that one would need to be at least an Immortal King to even affect these Ancient Sages.
Staying was fine. By then, the system would likely reveal itself, and he could then calculate whether to flee or fight based on its strength.
Right, and what benefits would there be in confronting an Ancient Sage? Everything ultimately depended on whether there were benefits.
If there were benefits, Fang Ming would naturally dare to fight! Even if he died, he would have no regrets!
But if there were no benefits—he would definitely flee! Why would he contend with an endless stream of Ancient Sages? Was he bored? Or looking for trouble?
Fang Ming was very pragmatic! He only cared about benefits!
In this world—ultimately, only benefits were eternal.
...
In a mountain cave.
A handsome little boy with a flame divine pattern on his brow.
The Golden Crow Crown Prince, Lu Ya, a cultivator at the Golden Immortal realm!
He finally spat out an ancient scripture with a "pa!" sound!
The Dao Scripture!
The Fragmentary Dao Scripture!
Lu Ya did not possess the strength of a Quasi-Saint like Bai Ze Demon Sage.
He was merely a peak Golden Immortal cultivator.
To snatch this fragmentary Dao Scripture was incredibly difficult!
Lu Ya managed to obtain this fragmentary Dao Scripture by exploiting the sympathy of a human.
Lu Ya, in the human ancestral land filled with powerful beings, in the human cities...
Could never find an opportunity to enter!
In desperation, he had to risk his life.
He revealed his true identity and used his looks to gain the sympathy of a human.
Lu Ya pleaded bitterly, saying how miserable he was! As the Crown Prince of the Demon Court, he was still just a child, not only cruelly hunted by humans but also having his parents killed by humans, and all nine of his brothers dead.
He had fallen directly from heaven into hell. Now, he just wanted to survive, hoping this human could spare him, take him in, and not report him to the many human powerhouses in the human ancestral land.
That Xuan Immortal human looked at Lu Ya, at Lu Ya's appearance, which indeed resembled a human boy.
The flame divine pattern on his brow, his incredibly handsome face, seemed to tell of Lu Ya's innocence and cuteness.
Racial conflict aside, one couldn't harm a child! Lu Ya was innocent.
That was what the Xuan Immortal human thought.
Then, he truly did not report Lu Ya to the human ancestral land, disguised Lu Ya's identity, and passed him off as a human boy.
Hoping to resolve hatred with kindness.
The Xuan Immortal human did not notice the look in Lu Ya's eyes as he watched him from behind, despite his seemingly innocent and cute demeanor.
It was the look of seeing sustenance, of seeing food.
"Heaven-Shielding Method... Dao Scripture..."
Lu Ya, through various means, finally obtained the fragmentary scripture from the Dao Scripture through the channels of this Xuan Immortal human—it only reached the second heaven of the Immortal Stage.
That Xuan Immortal human eventually noticed something amiss with Lu Ya. He frowned and slowly reasoned with Lu Ya, still hoping to convert him.
After all, his looks...
Once Lu Ya achieved his goal, he revealed his true colors. The seemingly innocent and cute him, bit back and completed his first active hunt of human sustenance.
"If only humans had so much sympathy..."
"But I strongly suspect that Human Emperor Fang Ming has definitely used various brainwashing methods on humans, reinforcing their lack of any sympathy towards demons..."
"Qingqiu fox maidens can also be refined into soul rings. These people are truly heartless!"
"My looks probably won't have any bewitching effect! I was fortunate to encounter a kind person to obtain this Heaven-Shielding Method..."
Lu Ya, a boy over a million years old, holding the Dao Scripture, studied it carefully.
"This scripture... marvelous! It seems it can be cultivated by demons?"
"No... it seems to have been altered... made unsuitable for demon cultivation, and that is also the Human Emperor Fang Ming's doing..."
Lu Ya watched this scene.
He closed his eyes.
The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit deduced everything, breaking through the mist.
Finally, he deduced the Dao Scripture that had not been altered by Fang Ming.
"So that's how it is..."
"The Dao Scripture, demons can cultivate it!"
Lu Ya acted, using his status as the Crown Prince of the Demon Court, his treasury, countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, high-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
There were even many stored human sustenance, and he began to absorb their blood essence to cultivate.
Soon, Lu Ya cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Then...
The Saint-level lightning tribulation descended again!
"Demon Court Crown Prince? Lu Ya?"
"You dare to actively hunt humans..."
Fang Ming discovered the trace and was truly enraged!
In the human ancestral land, Fang Ming repeatedly emphasized not to have any sympathy for demons, and he had taken various actions for this purpose. But he never imagined that there would still be humans with such sympathy, who would directly impart the Heaven-Shielding Method to demons!
This was betraying humanity!
Did these people not understand this act of aiding the enemy?
Or was it that humans and demons have true affection?
Xu Xian and the White Snake? How long would it take to encounter such a pair!
Ninety-nine point nine percent of those who had sympathy for demons ended up like the Xuan Immortal human Lu Ya hunted.
Humans and demons are irreconcilable!
When Fang Ming saw the Legend of Xu Xian in his previous life, he felt that this person was too lucky!
One in a million demons and humans have true affection.
The remaining, the vast majority, approaching one, had no true affection for humans.
Ignoring the probability and singing praises of the great love between humans and demons, was this meant to mislead everyone?
Fang Ming's only thought was to kill them all!
After all, with the way humans were acting, even if there was a White Snake who felt favorably towards humans, she would be completely driven to rebellion!
After all her relatives were killed, one could not expect her to still feel favorably towards humans.
Therefore, only by completely annihilating the ten thousand races of the Demon Court, causing the world of the Great Desolation to have no ten thousand races of the Demon Court, only the human race, was Fang Ming's true intention.
"No!"
"Humans still need resources like demon cores, demon bones, etc. Some demons must be kept! Establish farms!"
"If the demons are exterminated, it would also be detrimental to humans!"
Fang Ming instantly decided Lu Ya's fate!
He would not kill Lu Ya!
But he wanted Lu Ya to atone for humanity.
"Daluo-level lightning tribulation..."
Fang Ming lowered the power of the lightning tribulation.
The Daluo-level fire-element lightning tribulation instantly turned Lu Ya's Golden Immortal Dao Fruit into powder!
His cultivation was ruined!
Leaving him a cripple!
Fang Ming specifically left a trace of his Golden Immortal immortal law, lest he die directly of old age!
"Golden Immortal immortal law is indeed powerful. He should still be able to live for tens of millions of years..."
Fang Ming was impressed by the Great Desolation's longevity method. This Great Desolation's level was clearly not high, but in terms of longevity, it was truly top-notch.
