Chapter 333: Demon Realm
Sun Zhe's consciousness drifted in the darkness, and he did not know how long it had been. Finally, it slowly came to a stop, suspended in a void where everything was blurry and indistinct. He could only sense a faint flame burning in the darkness, warming his soul and gradually restoring a bit of his awareness.
"What has happened to him?"
An anxious voice came from the darkness, seeming both distant and near, carrying a sense of blood connection that felt extremely familiar to Sun Zhe.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, this esteemed one's injuries are unprecedented in severity. If it were an ordinary person, their soul would have already scattered by now. However, this esteemed one's soul seems to harbor some kind of obsession, which is why it has not dissipated. With the Demon Lord's assistance using True Fire and based on hundreds of years of experience, this esteemed one should be able to awaken. It’s just..." another aged voice respectfully replied.
"It’s just what?"
The previous voice sounded again, and the familiar feeling deep within Sun Zhe's soul became even more vivid. A strong impulse filled his chest; he wanted to break free from this void, to open his eyes and see.
"It’s just that this esteemed one's body is on the brink of collapse. If he had not practiced an unparalleled body refinement technique, his body would have long since ceased to exist. But even so, given his current injuries, unless he obtains the extremely rare Celestial Spirit Elixir, it will be very difficult for him to recover in this lifetime. His cultivation is similarly affected."
"Are you saying that even if he wakes up, he will only be a useless person?" A bitter laugh echoed, revealing deep helplessness.
"Forget it; you may leave for now." After a moment of silence, that person waved their hand helplessly.
Footsteps echoed in the darkness, gradually fading away until they disappeared completely. Yet the intense flame continued to burn fiercely, constantly warming Sun Zhe's soul and making his consciousness grow stronger. Slowly, the barrier around him seemed less impenetrable; the power to break free from the void grew stronger as well. With a mighty effort, he tore through the black emptiness, revealing a bright world before his eyes.
"Brother Sun Zhe, you finally woke up!"
The voice was filled with indescribable joy as a figure suddenly lunged towards Sun Zhe, tightly embracing him. Two hot tears fell onto Sun Zhe's neck. Dressed in a dazzling red robe with a youthful face, it was none other than Jingjing, who shared his bloodline connection.
"How old are you to still be crying..."
Looking at Jingjing, who was overwhelmed with joy and tears, Sun Zhe slightly moved his pale lips, forcing a smile at the corners of his mouth. He wanted to reach out and wipe away the tears at Jingjing's eyes, but sadly realized that he could not lift his right hand. When he looked at his body, Sun Zhe's face turned pale in an instant.
Is this still my body? Is this still my so-called unparalleled Supreme Battle Body? Withered and frail, powerless, almost like an elderly person on the verge of death. Moreover, he could clearly feel that there was not a trace of spiritual power left in his body, and even the three Law symbols on his forehead had vanished without a trace.
He had become a useless person! At that moment, Sun Zhe understood the conversation between Jingjing and the old man earlier; it was clearly about himself. Even if he woke up, he would be a useless person, one without any cultivation, and whose body was on the brink of collapse.
"Brother Sun Zhe, don't worry. Jingjing will definitely find a way to heal your injuries. Just now, Fuyuan already said that as long as we find the Celestial Spirit Elixir, there is hope for your recovery. Sister Tang Yuexi and the others are still waiting for you to save them, and the Nine Continents Mainland is waiting for you to protect it. You must hold on..."
Seeing the change in Sun Zhe's expression, Jingjing became anxious and immediately spoke up.
"First tell me what this place is and why we ended up here..." After a moment of silence, Sun Zhe finally suppressed his complicated emotions and asked Jingjing seriously.
"This is the Demon Realm!" Jingjing answered Sun Zhe without hesitation.
"The Demon Realm?" Sun Zhe was taken aback, his face showing shock as he did not understand where this Demon Realm was; at least he had never heard of such a name before.
"In fact, you have known about the existence of the Demon Realm for a long time; many people in the Nine Continents Mainland also know about it. It's just that you never paid attention," Jingjing explained with a hint of pride upon seeing Sun Zhe's astonished expression.
"The Demon Realm is actually the summoning space that demon beasts enter after signing contracts. Essentially, this summoning space is indeed the Demon Realm..."
It took a full three hours for Jingjing to finally explain the general situation of the Demon Realm, and Sun Zhe slowly began to form a rough impression of this so-called "Demon Realm."
In reality, the Demon Realm is another dimensional space, similar to the Demon Realm and Shura Continent; it is also a higher-level position within the Outer Starry Sky. However, this position has some mysterious connection with the Nine Continents Mainland, allowing contracted demon beasts to enter the Demon Realm through the power of their contracts.
In the Demon Realm, only a very small portion truly belongs to the Contract Beast, while the vast majority are indigenous inhabitants of the realm itself. Moreover, any beasts that enter the Demon Realm are bound by its laws and cannot disclose information about it. Conversely, people from the Nine Continents cannot enter this world at all. It is precisely for this reason that, although there has always been a connection between the Demon Realm and the Nine Continents Mainland, there are almost no individuals in the Nine Continents who truly know of its existence.
"Then why are we here? Or why am I able to enter the Demon Realm?"
Jingjing is originally a Contract Beast and has entered the Demon Realm more than once. Although escaping that attack to enter the realm was somewhat strange, it can still be considered acceptable. However, why can a human like Sun Zhe enter the Demon Realm? Could it be because he signed an equal contract with Jingjing? That is simply impossible. Throughout history, many have signed equal contracts with beasts; how could he be the only one to enter here? This is also what Sun Zhe finds most puzzling.
"Don't ask me; I don't know either."
Seeing Sun Zhe looking for answers from him, Jingjing immediately took a step back, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands helplessly. He still hasn't figured out his own situation, let alone understand Sun Zhe's question.
"By the way, I heard someone call you Demon Lord just now. What’s that about?" Sun Zhe suddenly recalled how an old man referred to Jingjing while he was unconscious and asked him again.
"I just told you, right? The Demon Realm is full of conflicts. I'm at least an Ancient Exotic Beast. Although my cultivation is only at Holy Rank now, being called a Demon Lord shouldn't be too difficult..."
At this point, Jingjing's expression revealed a hint of pride. It should be noted that his title as Demon Lord is not just any ordinary title; at least none of the nearby Demon Lords dare to provoke him since his strength is already considered king among those of the same rank.
The reproduction rate of demon beasts far exceeds that of humans. Therefore, although the Demon Realm is vast, it cannot meet the needs of so many inhabitants. When resources are unevenly distributed, wars naturally arise. As a result, there are constant wars throughout the entire realm, with almost every part of the continent filled with conflict.
It is also for this reason that numerous different lords have emerged across this vast land of the Demon Realm. Depending on their strength, these lords occupy varying territories. The term Demon Lord refers to lords below the Divine Realm; when a lord's strength reaches the Divine Realm, they can then call themselves a Demon Emperor. They have countless Demon Lords under their command, and it is rare for a single Demon Lord to stand against them.
Upon hearing Jingjing's explanation, Sun Zhe immediately understood. Clearly, Jingjing is a lord of this Demon Realm Continent. It makes sense; given Jingjing's proud Vermilion Bird Clan heritage, he would hardly be willing to submit to others. With his strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rule over a territory.
Thinking of this, Sun Zhe suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up with excitement as he fixed his gaze on Jingjing and said joyfully, "I found a way to restore my strength!"
"Report!" At that moment, a long shout echoed from outside the hall as a guard in armor appeared at the entrance.
"Come in!"
At Sun Zhe's gesture, Jingjing's expression turned serious as she coldly called out to a guard waiting outside the hall. At that moment, she displayed the imposing presence expected of a Demon Lord. The Demon Realm was different from the Nine Continents World; they did not need to reach Holy Rank to take on human form. This guard, with only fourth-tier strength, could already solidify into human shape.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the Extreme Demon Emperor has sent someone to deliver a message..." At this point, the guard hesitated, knowing that his Demon Lord was not one to take kindly to bad news. He could easily be killed with a single slap; such incidents had happened before.
"!"
Upon hearing the name Extreme Demon Emperor, Jingjing's eyes immediately revealed intense anger, and her voice turned cold.
"He wants you to prepare quickly; otherwise, his army will trample through Vermilion Bird City." Trembling, the guard finally finished his message.
"You go back and tell that messenger that I will lead my army to Extreme City in one month!" After receiving Sun Zhe's transmission, Jingjing hesitated for a moment but ultimately spoke up. Hearing this, the guard let out a heavy sigh of relief and exited the hall without hesitation.
