"Of course, our immortality is true immortality.
It is the immortality that is accepted and permitted by the Heavenly Dao."
The Undying Saint King said directly, without thinking.
He had this confidence.
He believed that besides Heavenly Dao, no one could truly kill him.
Because the nirvana of the Phoenix clan fell within the rules of Heavenly Dao.
To put it simply, that which cannot kill will only make stronger.
He ca to hunt down Xu Zii not just to repay the kindness of the Holy Ancestor.
He also hoped to rely on the power of the Demon Race to continually resurrect.
Perhaps there was still a slight chance to reshape his Dao foundation.
Otherwise, his life would truly co to a standstill.
"Though you are a lingering Phoenix from ancient tis,
it seems your clan's ancestor didn't tell you much," Xu Zii shook his head in response.
"What do you an?" The Undying Saint King frowned.
He felt an ominous premonition, but didn't know what it was about.
"Long ago, during the Demon Overlord Era, when I traveled, Heaven and Earth had to retreat.
All demons followed.
The Holy Court was rely lurking in the shadows, struggling to survive like ants."
Xu Zii said, "If your Phoenix clan was truly immortal, why did you hide from the world back then?"
"Heroes don't dwell on past glories.
You, a dignified Demon Lord, can only return to the past's splendor?" The Undying Saint King sneered.
"You are wrong, I am not reminiscing about the past.
I just want to tell you, during the demon era, your Sixteen Monster Race was nothing more than ants beneath my feet.
I once used great magical power to connect your Monster Race's fate.
I compelled your Sixteen Monster Race to contract with the Monster Mirror.
From that point on, anyone holding the Monster Mirror could control the life and death of your Monster Race," Xu Zii said calmly.
"How is this possible, you are lying," the Undying Phoenix's body trembled.
He coldly exclaid, "Our Monster Race is so proud.
Even if we retreat, it is absolutely impossible to submit."
"You are wrong, if you hadn't retreated back then, I might have already destroyed your Monster Race."
Xu Zii shook his head and said, "So-called submission is rely another way of living."
The Monster Race was a race not inferior to the human race.
If others talked about exterminating the race, it would most likely cause ridicule.
But Xu Zii wasn't joking.
Back then, he challenged Heaven, even prepared to annihilate the world.
Destroying one Monster Race was of no consequence.
But back then, the previous Demon Lord created the Monster Mirror, controlled the fate of the Monster Race, and thus didn't annihilate them.
In that distant era, he ordered, and the myriad monsters dared not disobey.
But later, the Demon Lord died after attempting to destroy the world.
The Monster Mirror was lost to nowhere.
When Xu Zii returned, soone spent countless ti to find the Monster Mirror and gave it to him.
From these Nine Domains, all along the way.
The Monster Mirror contained the Arrogant Beast and the Ancestral Dragon.
It seems today, there will be one more Undying Phoenix.
When all Sixteen Monster Race are collected, it will usher in an era where the myriad monsters reign supre.
......
"Past matters, I don't want to ntion again.
Who can clearly speak of the dust of the past," replied the Undying Saint King.
"Today I have co only to kill you, and also to reshape my Dao foundation."
Xu Zii said no more and looked at Bai ng and the others, instructing, "Suppress him, do not kill."
"Yes," the others obeyed.
Powerful demonic qi resonated all around.
The void constantly rippled.
This demonic qi enclosed but did not kill, forming a square cage.
"What do you want to do?" asked the Undying Saint King.
Xu Zii did not speak, but the energy around him surged.
He reached out, and the Monster Mirror fluctuated between his hands.
Supre demonic qi emitted from it.
"This... What is this?" The Undying Saint King felt a repulsive aura emanating from the Monster Mirror.
He began to panic.
He tried to burst through the cage ford by the concentrated demonic qi.
He was indeed strong enough.
Even the cage jointly ford by Bai ng and the others swayed under his assault.
It seed it might collapse at any ti.
"Master, we can't hold him for long," Bai ng said.
"If he breaks out and desires to flee, it will be troubleso."
"I know," Xu Zii nodded.
He solemnly opened the Monster Mirror.
He turned to the third page.
The empty third page suddenly emitted a golden light that shot to the sky.
Within this golden light, a mysterious power seed to erge.
Chains spread out from within it.
"Don't co closer, what is this ghostly thing," the Undying Phoenix struggled desperately.
Yet when the chain coiled around its body, all struggles beca futile.
The nirvana fire on its body burned fiercer as if trying to burn the chains.
"Master, it was my mistake.
I failed to recognize Mount Tai.
Spare a glance; I will no longer oppose you in the future," the Undying Saint King began to plead.
His massive body was being swallowed inch by inch by the Monster Mirror.
He had an intuition that once inside, he'd have no chance for rebirth.
He might even beco the eternal sinner of the Undying Phoenix clan.
"It's too late, I was precisely looking for your Sixteen Monster Race," Xu Zii laughed.
"Heaven has a path you do not tread, but Hell has no door and yet you choose to enter."
Amidst the Undying Saint King's howls, the Monster Mirror gradually devoured him.
Then, on the third page of the Monster Mirror.
An image of the Undying Phoenix appeared within it.
Xu Zii put the Monster Mirror away, and Bai ng and the others returned to the Divine Continent.
He looked up at the firmant, squinting slightly.
"Is it a probe."
......
"Young Master Xu, you..." Sage Zixia beside him didn't know what to say.
They also knew Xu Zii should be a part of the Demon Race.
But who could have thought he would directly be the covert Demon King of the Demon Race.
Moreover, he had four Saint Kings to guard him.
"If there's anything to say, just say it," Xu Zii replied.
"Nothing, it's just the change in identity is too great, a bit hard to adapt," Sage Zixia replied.
"I am still , no different from before," Xu Zii shook his head.
"Do you know where this is?"
Both shook their heads.
Such desert places were rare, and they were desolate.
Not knowing was quite normal.
"The teleportation array was destroyed, so let's ask around.
See if this place is far from the Lotus Pond Secluded Path," Xu Zii said.
"Also, what happened today, you saw nothing.
Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to you."
"Young Master Xu, rest assured," Sage Zixia nodded quickly.
The three took to the air, seeking a way out.
Yet what they saw was a vast expanse of yellow sand.
There wasn't even a trace of human presence.
They had no choice but to fly in a random direction.
In this way, they flew across the desert for three days.
Eventually, they saw a wisp of smoke.
"There's an inn ahead," Sage Zixia said.
"Let's go and inquire," Xu Zii nodded.
