Ancient Ancestral Emperor

What followed was a powerful ancient aura surging out from the crack! When this ancient aura appeared, even with Qin Shaojie's experience, he still felt a little apprehensive! This was because he could clearly feel that this ancient aura was not the slightest bit weaker than the Qilin small world.    

He never thought that there would be such a rich ancient aura in this world!    

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!    

Under a series of buzzing sounds, a shadow slowly appeared amidst the glaring light. The ancient aura that was so dense that it was hard to dispel was clearly diffused from the shadows.    

This kind of light did not last long. In a few breaths, it had disappeared. What appeared in front of Qin Shaojie and the others afterwards was nothing else but the so-called treasure left behind by the Demon King and the others.    

After the light dissipated, Qin Shaojie was finally able to see it clearly.    

It was a stone the size of a fist and irregular in shape, resembling a heart. The reason why it was irregular was because it did not have any edges and it was as smooth as if it had been polished. Unfortunately, this thing could not tell what it was.    

This was what the great demon king had left behind back then. However, in the past tens of thousands of years, no one had truly opened it up.    

The eyes of the Infernal King and the others flickered with light when they saw the treasure that had appeared in front of them. They did not know how much time they spent trying to figure out what power this thing contained, but in the end they came up empty-handed.    

They even suspected that this thing was solid, and that it couldn't contain any other so-called secret information.    

Of course, no matter how they guessed, they had no progress on this treasure. If it wasn't for their insistence on the Great Devil King, many people in the demon race would have given up on having any other thoughts regarding this treasure.    

This was the thing that the great demon king had personally buried here. He had once muttered to himself that everything was up to fate. Seeing Qin Shaojie looking at his, the Junior Second Elder felt helpless. Back then, he had personally witnessed the Great Infernal King lay a barrier and bury the monster deep under the earth. However, he had no idea what was hidden inside. He did not even know what the treasure was and what the Great Demon King's intentions were.    

As demoness, they only had one thought, and that was to unconditionally carry out the Great Demon King's orders. As for what the Great Demon King's purpose was, that was not something that the demoness cared about or considered. Even though so much time had passed and these demoness had followed the Great Demon King to wander the world, none of them dared to say that they truly knew the Great Demon King.    

However, it was certain that the great demon king valued this item very highly. After saying this, Junior Second Elder's eyes also became serious.    

It was rare for him to see the Great Demon King personally lay a barrier on something, and it did not seem to be a simple barrier at all. This was also the main reason why only a second grade or higher Demon Saint would be able to come into contact with such a thing.    

This was also the reason why the Infernal King and the others thought that this was the key to the future of the entire demon race.    

Even though the Great Demon King was disappointed with the whole Demon race, it was undeniable that his body was still dripping with the blood of the Demon race. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not give up on the Demon race, and he would not abandon them. It was obvious that the Great Infernal King had seen through some things hundreds of thousands of years ago!    

Young master, this treasure will only appear for less than an hour each time, so …    

At this moment, the Infernal King and the others had traces of anxiety on their faces.    

Although they were able to summon this treasure, their time was quite limited. Based on the hundred thousand years of experience of the demon race. This treasure could only be summoned once every three months and would only appear once every half an hour.    

Therefore, everyone was extremely nervous when the treasure appeared for a short period of time. If they were unable to open it and obtain the so-called secret within it, it meant that it would take at least three months before they could summon it again.    

There should be something else here. Infernal King, stay here for a few minutes and keep an eye on this treasure. Remember to remember what you see clearly.    

However, Qin Shaojie waved his hand at them at this moment and, ignoring the doubt in the Demon King's eyes, led the Junior Second Elder and the other core elders of the Demon race to a place several hundred meters away. They had even found a mountain range and hid them within it!    

What is the Young Lord trying to do?    

One of the elders could not help but ask in a low voice, while the others all looked at Qin Shaojie. Although they had distanced themselves from the Demon Lord, they looked displeased. From the looks of it, Qin Shaojie was afraid that the treasure was dangerous, so he let the Demon King try it out on his own.    

One must know that the demons looked down on these cowards the most.    

If I remember correctly, you all have told me that every guardian will communicate with this treasure alone once they enter the Demon Mountain. No one else was present. Qin Shaojie did not hide this from him.    

Qin Shaojie was also surprised by the appearance of the guardians in the cave. The guardians were doing fine in the outside world, but there was a change when they entered Demon Mountain. Furthermore, in Qin Shaojie's opinion, the only thing that could cause the same movement and change to the guardians who had entered Demon Mountain at so many different times was this treasure.    

With no one around, this treasure might have some unforeseen events. Although this change of events was not a mystery that could be unraveled, it was most likely the reason why the guardians from before were in such a state!    

Qin Shaojie's words caused the faces of the elders to change, it was clear that they did not think of this possibility. But under Qin Shaojie's analysis, it seemed to be the case.    

After all, these guardians were all powerful Demon Saints that were at the very top of the Second Order Saint. Under these circumstances, it was impossible to be easily bewitched.    

Young master's meaning was, the reason for the guardian's situation, was it related to this treasure?    

Astonishment flashed in the eyes of one of the elders. It was obvious that they had never connected the two parties before. But now it seemed that this might be the greatest possibility.    

If not, it would not be an easy matter to gather so many guardians.    

I guessed it, but just look at the Infernal King and you'll know what will happen.    

It was all Qin Shaojie's guesses. Just as he said, before there was no evidence, it was all hard to determine.    

At this moment, the Infernal King was standing right in front of the treasure. He stared at it for a few minutes, but nothing happened.    

Although his expression was calm, his heart was filled with worry. He had seen it many times, but he had never found anything out of the ordinary. But now that Qin Shaojie had made such a decision, he was not sure if he had some sort of plan or was just preparing for it.    

But what was certain was that Qin Shaojie must have discovered something.    

However, the whole treasure would only appear for less than an hour. If it was wasted, it would take at least three months before it could be reborn. But right now, there was not much time left for the entire demon race.    

Since he had brought Qin Shaojie back to the Demon Area, the attacks of the three sects had become even more violent. The battle in the Western Region seemed to be extremely weak, as if it would collapse at any time.    

Now that the protector had fallen into a state of false death, the Infernal domain was in an unprecedented crisis. In such a situation, adding on to the fact that the bloodline of the devil race was about to disappear, this was undoubtedly an even greater disaster for the entire Infernal race!    

Hm?    

Just as he was getting anxious, he heard a slight buzzing sound. This voice was different from the one before. It did not sound like a treasure, but rather the space in front of him.    

Then, under the Infernal King's shocked eyes, the fluctuating space actually seemed to have magic characters written on it!    

Complicated runes slowly appeared, but it was accompanied by a sudden change in the Infernal King's expression!    

Although they were hundreds of kilometers away, Qin Shaojie and the rest had their pupils constrict for a moment. It was clear that they had noticed the change in the Demon King, as the Demon Qi on the Demon King's body was flowing out nonstop. Soon after, it formed into something strange right in front of the Demon King.    

They were hundreds of kilometers away and could only see the back of the Infernal King. They could not clearly see what the Infernal King's demonic energy was gathering in front of him. But one thing was certain, all these changes were not caused by the Infernal King. The greatest possibility was the change in the treasure in front of the Infernal King.    

At this moment, these demon elders looked at each other, each of them seeing an indescribable shock in the other's eyes.    

If they had doubted Qin Shaojie's words at the start, then they were quite certain of it now. All of this had something to do with the treasure!    

However, just as they were about to take action, Qin Shaojie stopped them. It was clear that he did not want them to disturb the Demon King right now.    

With the Infernal King's methods and strength, there was no way something could easily go wrong. Besides, it seemed like the treasure hadn't changed. If he interrupted it now, it would be difficult for him to do something like this again!    

Hearing Qin Shaojie's words, all the elders looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement!    

With so many of them here, it was likely that they would be able to react in the shortest amount of time even if there were to be any other changes.    

This state did not last long. The demonic aura on the Infernal King's body also slowly disappeared.    

The only thing left behind was the somewhat desolate figure of the Infernal King!    

What was the Infernal King doing?    

Suddenly, one of the elders felt that something was wrong. At this moment, the Infernal King's body was staggering forward, as if he had lost control of his soul. As he slowly stepped forward, his hand gently extended outwards. The direction in which his palm reached was exactly where that treasure was suspended.    

This treasure could not be easily touched because in the past, they had personally seen an untactful person touch this treasure. An enormous amount of demonic energy shot out and their entire body turned into countless dust. They were dead beyond dead.    

Even an existence as powerful as the Infernal King had never truly reached out to touch it!    

After all, this thing was too strange, and the energy it contained was beyond imagination. It was normal for someone to die if they were careless.    

Infernal King, stop!    

Finally, an elder couldn't help but shout.    

Under this stern roar, the crowd was unable to restrain the excitement in their hearts as they transformed into an afterimage and rushed out!    

Seeing that, Qin Shaojie did not panic!    

It did not seem like a dangerous operation to him.
