"Demon Lotus Emperor," Wei Chen asked through a transmission, "what do you think are the drawbacks of cultivating both Demonic Energy and spiritual power? You've only mentioned the benefits; what about the flaws?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor fell silent for a moment before replying, "To be honest, I don't know. But I can assure you that with the protection of the Demon Lotus, you won't run into trouble. The Demon Lotus can harmonize everything, including Demonic Energy and spiritual power."
Wei Chen pouted, losing interest. It was completely unreliable.
However, deep down, he had quietly noted the Demon Lotus Emperor's words. He had to try cultivating both spiritual power and Demonic Energy! As for what it would bring him, no one could predict.
The first person to eat crab reaped the benefits, while the first to eat spider faced a tragic end. Whether cultivating spiritual power and Demonic Energy was like eating crab or spider would have to wait until he returned to the Magic Stone Space to experiment.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, is it true that in the Demon Realm, one year equals one day in Soul World?"
"Pretty much."
"That's good."
Wei Chen felt completely at ease. After spending a few years cultivating in the Demon Realm, only a few days had passed in Soul World; nothing major should have happened during that time.
Muen and the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan gathered in the square.
Muen bowed respectfully to the Dark Mage and said, "Demon Emperor, we are ready."
"Good, let's begin," the Dark Mage nodded and then turned to Wei Chen with a smile. "Child, watch closely; the power of the Demon Realm is beyond your imagination."
Wei Chen nodded. With the help of the formation and control from the Demon Lotus Emperor, he had barely managed to move Nine Suns out of harm's way, almost succumbing to the immense pressure. There was no way he could do it again.
Muen and the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan sat cross-legged in solemnity at the center of the square, each positioned around shiny black stones.
"Child, those are Magic Stones from within the Demon Realm. Each one is worth its weight in gold. The Dragon Clan and Dark Demon Clan are unwilling to part with their Magic Stones, so we have no choice but to provide our own. In the Demon Realm, Magic Stones are classified into thirty-six levels; these stones are all of the highest thirty-sixth level. To resolve the Solar Crisis requires an enormous amount of Demonic Energy; ordinary-level Magic Stones simply won't suffice."
Muen and several high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan formed a few circles, silently gathering magical power. A strong surge of magic enveloped them, making it difficult for the naked eye to discern their forms.
The swirling black magic surged violently, creating a howling whirlwind that echoed fiercely between the circles.
Each high-ranking member of the Black Magic Clan wore a solemn expression, their eyes slightly closed as they gestured with their hands, unleashing powerful magic that converged at the center.
A massive Five-Star Light Array suddenly appeared, radiating an eerie black glow, hovering above the heads of the Black Magic Clan experts. Soon, more Five-Star Light Arrays emerged, each forming around the circles created by the Black Magic Clan members.
The torrent of magical energy flowed between the Five-Star Light Arrays, moving from the outermost circle toward the center, almost resembling a liquid as it gathered.
Streams of liquid magic converged at the center, coalescing into a Seven Star Array.
"Child, watch closely; it's about to begin!" The Dark Mage's expression was calm; he had witnessed such formations many times before and felt little about it. An old man who had lived for eight thousand years—how many experiences must he have gone through in his lifetime?
It was hard to imagine what mindset those old Fellows in the Nine Immortal Realm, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, possessed—how indifferent they must be to fame and disgrace.
Wei Chen squinted as he observed the Seven Star Array formed by the convergence of the Five-Star Light Array. He sensed that this Seven Star Array was actually a powerful formation created from another formation. Such formations would be impossible to see in the backward Soul World. Even though Wei Chen had considerable skill in formations, he could only create Chain Formations and could not gather formations from other formations.
If it were him facing the Seven Star Array before his eyes, his first step would be to establish a formation base and create both the Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array to construct a Chain Formation.
However, the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan had managed to create both the Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array without any formation base or focal point; they relied solely on their formidable strength. First came the Five-Star Light Array, followed by the Seven Star Array—exceedingly intricate. This kind of design was something Wei Chen couldn't even dare to imagine.
Just by observing the Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array produced by the Black Magic Clan experts, Wei Chen deeply felt how backward the Soul World truly was.
His starting point was indeed too low. But it was precisely because of this that he encountered the Demon Lotus Emperor—a benefit that could hardly be compared to those born in the Demon Realm.
Every advantage comes with its disadvantages; Wei Chen viewed this with an open mind.
"Child, your Formation Assignment is strong. What you need now is to learn. I know you promised to duel with Dragon Clan Young Master Ginger Guest; don't expect me to help you. To deal with Ginger Guest, you can only rely on formations. From now on, focus solely on studying formations with all your heart and effort. I believe in your talent; in due time, you will achieve something."
At that moment, the Demon Lotus Emperor suddenly transmitted a message to Wei Chen.
Wei Chen nodded slightly and replied, "I'll pay attention to that. Let's see how they deal with the Nine Suns; I feel like I'm gaining some insights."
Watching the overwhelming magical power, witnessing the astonishing Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array, Wei Chen sensed that the Earth Soul Realm's Three Trials that had been troubling him were showing signs of loosening.
"My Three Trials are starting to loosen? What's going on? I haven't gained any insights at all!"
Wei Chen felt a surge of excitement. Transitioning from Earth Soul Realm Level Four to Level Five typically required a significant amount of time for most people. He had been stuck at Level Four, unable to progress, which had caused him much frustration.
However, seeing the high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan working together to condense their magical power into the Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array, the mysterious Three Trials finally began to loosen.
Insights?
What had Wei Chen gained insights into?
Unfortunately, he hadn’t gained any insights at all.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, I feel like my Three Trials are about to loosen. What does this mean?" Wei Chen inquired through transmission.
The Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed, "In the Demon Realm, there is no such thing as the Three Trials. The Three Trials and Great Three Trials were specifically created to challenge practitioners from Low-Level Spatial Dimensions. The Demon Realm is a top-tier cultivation domain; many practitioners skip the Three Souls and Seven Spirits realm entirely. The concepts of the Three Trials and Great Three Trials simply do not exist here."
"Wei Chen, cherish this opportunity. Elevate your strength to Soul Realm Peak as soon as possible and start cultivating magical power. When you return to Soul World, you'll need an advantage to withstand crises. Otherwise, Soul World is fraught with danger, especially threats from Donghua. What will you do then? It's hard to guarantee when he might strike to seize the Demon Lotus Heart in your Dantian. I can't assure you that my strength will be enough to stop him at that time. Ultimately, whatever you do, you must rely on yourself rather than others. Do you understand?"
The Demon Lotus Emperor seized the moment to advise Wei Chen, who understood very well that the Emperor was absolutely correct.
"I will; just rest assured," Wei Chen nodded in agreement with the Demon Lotus Emperor. He deeply realized that being in the Demon Realm meant he no longer had to worry about the Three Trials and Great Three Trials. Moreover, spending a few years in the Demon Realm was merely equivalent to a few moments in Soul World—a very worthwhile exchange rate.
What a wonderful opportunity this is; who wouldn't cherish it?
The Demon Lotus Emperor transmitted his voice, saying, "Child, I must advise you on one thing: there are many powerful beings in the Demon Realm. Anyone who comes out can easily kill you. Don't offend anyone lightly; otherwise, even your identity won't be able to protect you."
"I understand that; there's no need for you to worry too much," he replied.
"As for dealing with the Dragon Clan Young Master, try to rely on the formation. If it really doesn't work, I will step in. I can't just watch you get crippled."
Hearing this, Wei Chen's face lit up with joy. "I knew you would help. By myself, I can't defeat that Ginger Guest in such a short time."
"Heh, who can you defeat in the Demon Arena?" The Demon Lotus Emperor mocked Wei Chen and fell silent.
At this moment, an enormous amount of demonic energy gathered within the Seven Star Array, and seven black pillars of energy appeared in the square.
The Dark Mage pointed at the seven pillars and said calmly, "Child, this is our solution to the Solar Crisis. The terrifying demonic energy contained within these seven pillars can shatter a sun when unleashed together."
Wei Chen nodded; the intricacies of demonic energy were beyond his current understanding.
Soon, the seven pillars reached their peak state, and a terrifying pressure swept through the square like a hurricane.
Feeling it was time, the Dark Mage commanded loudly, "All troops, heed my order: destroy the red sun!"
"Yes!"
The high-ranking members of the Black Magic Clan responded in unison. Suddenly, their gestures changed as they formed various Palm Strikes that struck the Seven Star Array. The array exploded instantly, and the seven black pillars shot out with a roaring sound that shook the space as they surged toward a red sun.
Wei Chen squinted as he observed everything unfold. He saw that just a few breaths later, the seven pillars collided with the red sun simultaneously.
The red sun could not withstand the impact of the black light pillar; it shattered into pieces and vanished in an instant.
Witnessing this scene, Wei Chen felt an overwhelming shock. He, along with Old Man Han Mang and the Demon Lotus Emperor, had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones and Divine Beast Blood to barely complete their formation. Yet, in the hands of the Black Magic Clan, it seemed as easy as eating cabbage!
"Child, did you see that? This is the power of our Black Magic Clan! The red sun is nothing. There was once a black sun that was shattered by the entire Demon Realm united. During that time, hundreds of powerful beings from the Demon Realm were deployed, with thousands of light pillars converging; now that was truly spectacular."
The Dark Mage spoke as the second round of the Five-Star Light Array gathered strength, and the Seven Star Array began to converge.
"Grandfather, won't they be too exhausted?" Wei Chen asked with concern as he noticed beads of sweat forming on the foreheads of the Black Magic Clan's warriors.
The Dark Mage chuckled, "This is nothing; they can handle it. Although it's tiring, participating in the battle against the sun's extinction is beneficial for them. No one would refuse such an opportunity; it is both a responsibility and a benefit."
"Benefit? Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"
"Think about it: being in the Five-Star Light Array and Seven Star Array subjects them to immense pressure! If they endure it, their strength may not increase significantly, but their bodies will undergo refinement—it's all gain and no harm."
"What if they can't endure it?" Wei Chen asked again.
"If they can't endure it... well, aside from death, what good can come from it?"
