The reason Liu Ziming said this was entirely because his process of merging with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, was like taking a nap. When he woke up, he was like this, so it sounded very natural to him.
However, upon hearing this, the Demon King of the Demon King's City's expression changed. He felt that Liu Ziming had deceived him, so he became very angry. In the void, he directly swung out his palm, smashing it down on Liu Ziming.
"Liu Ziming, run! The power of his palm strike is something you can't withstand!"
When the enormous palm slashed down from the void towards Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming's eyes were fixed on the palm, seemingly frozen in fear, showing no intention of fleeing. Yuebai appeared very anxious. "You little brat, it seems you have truly become disloyal to me. Although you have my blood, I really cannot let you live now?"
The demon king's phantom, with a bloodthirsty expression, looked coldly at Liu Ziming and Yuebai, as if they were already dead, meaningless to him. "Father, Father, please! Liu Ziming truly had no intention of fighting you. He just accidentally wandered into the Demon Beast Forest; he really meant no harm!" To everyone's surprise, Yuebai, gritting her teeth and with tears streaming down her face, suddenly knelt on the ground.
Because he knew how terrifyingly powerful the Demon King of the Demon King's City was, which was also his father, was—a power that Liu Ziming could not possibly contend with.
Chapter 375 Shattering the Demon King's Illusion
"Yuebai, get up quickly. You're better off without a father like this."
Without any hesitation, Liu Ziming saw Yue Bai kneel down and pull him up with one hand, while his other hand directly met the Demon King's hand from the Demon King's City with a chop, attempting to confront him head-on, which startled everyone.
The demon king's phantom in the void, seeing Liu Ziming's suicidal behavior, grinned even more savagely. He felt that although this young man had some strength and was recognized in his eyes, it was not enough to justify his behavior. He thought this young man was really arrogant.
"Spider, stop what you're doing right now. Is it still possible to run away if you do?"
Because the giant ape elder was some distance away from Liu Ziming, he could only shout loudly to make Liu Ziming give up his suicidal idea. However, Liu Ziming's expression was particularly calm, as if he had completely merged with the void.
With a deafening roar, a tremendous earthquake shook the earth, causing everyone to lose their footing. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their blood surged like a raging river, extremely turbulent. "My God, what happened? Could it be that the Demon King's phantom completely shattered Liu Ziming? Otherwise, how could there be such a huge commotion?"
"My goodness, no wonder Yuebai made Liu Ziming run away so quickly. A mere phantom has such terrifying strength. If it were the real person, I really can't imagine it now?"
"Holy crap. The Demon King of the Demon King's City is truly living up to his reputation. A mere phantom's slap has such terrifying power. It seems the matter of the elves being kept in the Demon Beast Forest by him is indeed true?"
Affected by the loud noise just now, everyone's mind was very unstable and they were restless. However, they never expected that Liu Ziming would stand firmly on the ground, with a calm expression on his face and his palm still outstretched, looking particularly arrogant.
"This is impossible, this is impossible! You are so young, yet you could shatter my phantom image. This is too unrealistic!"
The Demon King of the Demon King's City had great confidence in the strength of his illusory image, but he never dreamed that Liu Ziming would actually go head-to-head with him and completely shatter his illusory hand. This was something he hadn't anticipated, so his expression was one of extreme terror.
After all, Yuebai had absorbed a portion of Liu Ziming's blood, making him significantly stronger than the others. Although his mind was slightly affected, he clearly witnessed everything before him.
A sense of unreality surprised him. Liu Ziming had actually shattered the palm of his father's illusory image. This was something he had never considered before, because his father had always felt that his father possessed extraordinary strength since he was a child, and no one dared to confront him head-on. Yet Liu Ziming had actually done it.
"Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming, say something! Are you hurt or not?"
Although his mind was affected and he seemed extremely unstable, Yuebai was very anxious. He carefully looked Liu Ziming up and down, afraid that he would be hurt in the slightest. After all, if he hadn't been there, Liu Ziming might not have had to suffer such pain.
Liu Ziming himself did not expect that his full-force palm strike would actually shatter the phantom of the Demon King of the Demon King's City, so he was extremely unsettled.
"My goodness! My strength has actually reached this level. I can fight against the Demon King's phantom and even have the upper hand. How come I never dared to think of this before?"
In fact, Liu Ziming never dreamed that the power of his palm strike would be so great that it could completely shatter the demon king's phantom. So he looked very surprised and remained in the same position, standing there dumbfounded, his heart churning with emotions.
"You stinky spider, you stinky spider, are you even alright? Say something! Are you stupid?"
A moment later, the slime, as if possessed, rushed directly in front of Liu Ziming, shaking him frantically. If anything happened to him, the slime mirror would probably want to die. "Say something, you bastard! Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
No one expected it, not even Liu Ziming himself, but the cat angel and the seven-colored deer both arrived in front of him. A loud slap rang on his face, and a burning sensation instantly brought him back to his senses.
"Why didn't you hit me? Did I do something wrong just now?"
Liu Ziming stared blankly at the Seven-Colored Deer, because he couldn't imagine that such a delicate girl could be so strong at this moment, slapping him across the face. If she hadn't acted this way, he probably would still be deep in thought.
"Exactly, Seven-Colored Little Deer, why did you slap Liu 203 Zimo across the face? If you don't give a reasonable explanation, I will never forgive you!"
The two, Cat Angel and Slime Mirror, spoke in unison, making Seven-Colored Deer feel an awkwardness slowly grow in his heart. His face was burning, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the time, but he actually stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Ziming hard across the face.
"I...I just wanted this guy to wake up quickly, I didn't mean anything else?"
Looking at the timid expression on the Seven-Colored Deer's face, Liu Ziming felt truly helpless. He had been slapped for no reason, and couldn't even complain, making him feel particularly miserable. "Haha, congratulations, Spider Boss! You actually managed to fight against the Demon King's phantom and even gained a decisive advantage! That's fantastic!"
The giant ape elder didn't take the slap to heart at all. He realized that Liu Ziming was just frightened by him, which was why he acted that way, and he finally felt relieved. "Yes, yes, everyone is just concerned about you. Don't worry about it so much. Your strength is definitely not what it used to be. You can hold your own against the Demon King's phantom. Not everyone can do that."
Chapter 376 In accordance with everyone's wishes
Seeing the smug expression on the Flame Dragon Elder's face, Liu Ziming had many feelings, but he was too embarrassed to say them, so he could only swallow his anger. "Hehe, it's nothing. I think I entered a state of deep thought just now and didn't feel anything. What are you all doing?"
Liu Ziming's surprised expression instantly returned to calm. He deliberately asked this question to ease the awkwardness, as things might have been difficult to resolve if he hadn't said it himself. "What just happened? You really don't remember?"
Because Liu Ziming shattered the Demon King's phantom with a single palm strike, everyone looked terrified. However, seeing that Liu Ziming's behavior seemed somewhat abnormal, Seven-Colored Deer asked somewhat uneasily, "After all, he just slapped me across the face."
"What just happened? All I know is that I exchanged a palm strike with the Demon King's phantom, and then this guy disappeared. Is there something else going on?"
In fact, Liu Ziming knew exactly what had happened. He said that to ease the awkward atmosphere and prevent the little deer from feeling uneasy, since it was just a small creature.
"Alright, since nothing has happened, Spider Boss, what do you think our next move should be? Now that the Demon King's phantom has appeared here, it's likely to follow us like a persistent ghost."
Although Liu Ziming could directly confront the Demon King's phantom, if the real Demon King appeared here, things would be very different. Therefore, the Giant Ape Senior seemed quite uneasy and looked at Liu Ziming directly, asking, "Hehe, Senior Giant Ape, don't worry so much. The fact that the Demon King's phantom can appear here means he has something to do and couldn't possibly be here. Everyone can rest assured." Hearing Liu Ziming say this, everyone's hearts trembled. Did this guy sense something in advance again? After all, he possessed the ability to sense things beforehand. "Liu Ziming, let's hurry and enter the Elf Clan's territory. Perhaps it will be safer there?" Since everything that had just happened was related to her, Yuebai's expression was quite awkward as she looked at Liu Ziming and asked cautiously.
He knew that even if everyone vented their resentment on him, he wouldn't have anything to say, since it was all related to his father, the Demon King, and anything he said would be powerless. "Heh, since you're so eager to enter the elven territory, we don't have any better options now, so this is the only way?"
In fact, Liu Ziming had already made plans. Now that he had discovered the entrance to the Elf Clan's territory, how could he easily let it slip by? It was just that he sensed the Demon King's phantom just now, which was why he said those things.
Hearing that Liu Ziming was actually going along with his wishes, Yue's expression became even more awkward, but he felt even more uneasy inside, because he was afraid that the little guys would become jealous of him. He knew what that meant. "Boss Spider, are we really going to enter through this entrance? Didn't you sense anything beforehand?"
In truth, the Flame Dragon Elder was also filled with curiosity about entering the Elf Clan's territory. He was just asking casually to find out in advance whether Liu Ziming had sensed anything. "Flame Dragon Elder, you are a member of the Dragon Clan and have awakened the bloodline of your ancient ancestral dragon. Have you sensed anything?" Liu Ziming's expression was somewhat strange as he looked at the Flame Dragon Elder and asked with a smile.
The reason he said that was entirely because he knew nothing at the moment. The appearance of this cave entrance was too strange, and he wasn't sure if it was the true entrance to the elven territory. "Hehe, Spider Master, you really overestimate me. Although I am a member of the dragon race, I am merely a fire dragon. Even though I have awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon, I am utterly insignificant before you." No one expected that the old fire dragon, after awakening his ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, would become so humble, composed, and generous. "Alright, everyone, let's not linger here too long. If you intend to enter this cave, what are you hesitating for?"
After all, the demon king's phantom had dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of the giant ape elder and everyone else, so they felt that entering the cave might be a better option.
"Ahem, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand, this cave entrance may not be the real entrance to the elven settlement. It could be something else. Do you still want to go in?"
Hearing Liu Ziming say this at this point, everyone's expression changed. They thought Liu Ziming was really eccentric, always setting up different obstacles for them. Why was that? "What's the big deal? As long as we can escape the Demon King's control and go through fire and water, I'm not afraid of dragons!" "That's right! In the Demon Beast Forest, do we have any way to turn back? You said it yourself!"
“Now that we’ve found an entrance, we should at least go in and see what’s inside. What’s the use of awakening our bloodlines if we don’t even have the courage to go in?” Liu Ziming hadn’t expected the girls from the Slime Mirror to become so audacious, insisting on entering this strange entrance. He didn’t know what had made them like this. “Alright, you all stay behind me. I’ll scout ahead for you. If there’s any danger, you all must be prepared.”
The reason Liu Ziming did this was because he sensed that the cave entrance wasn't the entrance to the elven settlement, but possibly the entrance to an ancient battlefield. That's why he issued a warning. "Hehe, Spider Boss, how could I let you do such a dangerous thing all by yourself? Leave this to me!"
The venerable Flame Dragon brandished its long tail, then without hesitation darted into the eerie cave entrance and vanished instantly, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
Chapter 377 The Ancient Battlefield Where Resentment Resurrects
"Holy crap, what kind of place is this? I disappeared as soon as I went into the cave. What am I going to do?"
But they had no better choice. After all, the Flame Dragon Elder had already darted into the cave entrance, and if they followed immediately, they were genuinely worried that the Flame Dragon Elder would disappear. "Everyone, don't hesitate, let's go in quickly. If we take too long to enter, we might not be able to find those who went in earlier."
Although the giant ape elder was also incredibly surprised, he still reminded everyone to hurry up and enter the cave. If they delayed too long, that old guy, the Flame Dragon, would really disappear, and then there would be no chance to regret it.
Hearing the giant ape elder's words, everyone was filled with immense surprise, but without hesitation, they followed one after another into the room. "Flame Dragon, Flame Dragon, where are you, old man? Don't play such a joke!"
After entering the entrance, everyone realized that the Flame Dragon Elder was not inside at all, and they didn't know where he had gone. So the Giant Ape Elder kept shouting loudly, looking very anxious.
In fact, Liu Ziming had already sensed it. The Flame Dragon Elder was currently transformed into an ethereal dragon, quietly hiding above all 207 people, secretly grinning mischievously! "Don't worry, Elder Giant Ape, the Flame Dragon will have no problems getting ahead. It just seems to have secretly discovered something and is preparing to take it all for himself?"
When the old Flame Dragon heard Liu Ziming say such a thing, his heart tightened, and he fell straight to the ground with a thud, grimacing in pain.
No one expected the old Flame Dragon to be so mischievous, falling straight down from above. Seeing him grimacing in pain after the fall, everyone laughed, and they laughed very happily.
"Don't listen to Spider Boss's nonsense, everyone. I was just hiding above you, trying to give you a surprise. I didn't find any treasure at all. If Spider Boss hadn't said that, I wouldn't have shown up. I can't let my dragon's reputation be tarnished like this!"
The old Flame Dragon got up from the ground, looking particularly aggrieved. He looked at Liu Ziming as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
The reason Liu Ziming said and did this was to make the Flame Dragon Elder appear from above. He didn't want these people to be frightened again, because it wasn't a surprise at all.
"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, this entrance we've entered is no joke. It might be the entrance to an ancient battlefield from ancient times, so everyone should be careful and not play any more pranks." Seeing Liu Ziming's serious expression, everyone felt a chill. The ancient battlefield from ancient times—Liu Ziming had mentioned before that it was a place where resentment was reborn, and it was no laughing matter. "You stinky spider, don't think you can just spout nonsense because you have the ability to foresee the future. How could this possibly be an ancient battlefield from ancient times? What a joke! It's eerily quiet, not a soul in sight!" The Slime Mirror noticed that the surrounding environment was indeed quiet, but didn't he feel that such silence made it even more eerie?
"I was just trying to be helpful and remind everyone. I didn't say that this is really the entrance to an ancient battlefield from ancient times. Why are you being so forceful and unforgiving?"
Liu Ziming knew that if he didn't completely deal with the Slime Mirror, he would probably be in a lot of trouble, so this time he chose to confront it directly.
Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, Slime Mirror's heart trembled. Yes, this guy actually had the ability to foresee the future. Was there any other meaning in telling him these things? "Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing. We've already passed a resolution that from now on, we can only follow Spider Boss's orders. If anyone has any objections, they can choose to leave."
No one expected that the giant ape elder would step forward again, and his words carried significant weight. Anyone who disagreed could simply withdraw, but where was the way back? The people were dumbfounded.
"Hehe, actually I don't want to be the leader of you guys, but do you think you're more capable than me in the Monster Forest? If that's the case, then you can decide everything from now on, and I have no objections."
Hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, everyone felt even more embarrassed, but they didn't show it on their faces, because they knew that this guy was absolutely the only king in the Monster Forest. "Hehe, we were just joking with you before, please don't take it this way. If you're willing to abandon us, then there's nothing we can do?"
The old Flame Dragon ran straight up to Liu Ziming, his expression still smug. Although he had awakened his ancient ancestral dragon bloodline, he knew that in front of Liu Ziming, he was nothing.
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, everyone was deeply moved. After all, the ancient battlefields of the past, where resentment could be reborn, were no joke. Losing your life there would be foolish. "Haha, a bunch of fools have really come! I've been waiting here for thousands of years and finally see something alive! This is wonderful!"
A series of squeaking sounds instantly rang in everyone's ears, sounding particularly eerie. It turned out that what Liu Ziming said was definitely not a lie; they could all clearly feel the resentment. Zheng Meimei smacked her lips, looking particularly excited.
"What's that strange sound coming from now on? It's like it's treating us like its own meal. Could it be the resentment of those ancient battlefields from back in time?"
The seven-colored deer looked particularly frightened. Because he was naturally timid, when that eerie voice came on, he couldn't help but tremble and tightly gripped Liu Ziming's arm, looking extremely scared.
Chapter 378 Strange Events Abound
In fact, when Liu Ziming said those words, he could clearly sense the resentment from the ancient battlefield. They had already caught a whiff of their presence, were eyeing them, and were treating them as a meal. "Heh, you guys have been gone for over a thousand years, yet you're still so active. That's really unacceptable."
Without any hesitation, Liu Ziming spoke loudly, explaining that she was addressing the ancient resentment from the past. She said that if these guys really had any wicked intentions, she wouldn't be able to protect everyone, which was why she did this.
"Haha, the delicious taste really tempts me. I've been waiting for over a thousand years, how could I give up so easily? Don't think you can show off in front of us just because you have some ability. Your little skills are nothing but a fart in our eyes~" Liu Ziming never expected that the resentment from the ancient battlefield would directly confront him. Although it was only verbal, it sounded particularly arrogant.
Hearing the ancient remnant's voice challenging them, everyone became uneasy. Wasn't this a blatant provocation? "Stop playing tricks. Show yourself if you dare. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The Flame Dragon Elder, being a member of the dragon race and having awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestral dragon, appeared extremely arrogant. Pointing at the voice in the void, he roared loudly, completely disregarding the ancient resentment. "What's so great about them? They're all shady characters. If you dare to come out, I'll crush you into dust. Otherwise, come out and try!" The Slime Mirror also completely ignored the ancient resentment, arrogantly shouting.
However, the ancient vengeful sword didn't consider Liu Ziming and his companions as human beings at all, but rather as delicious food in its eyes, constantly clicking its tongue in delight. "This is wonderful! After waiting for thousands of years, I've finally found so much delicious food. Today, I can finally have a feast!"
These ancient resentments continued to speak to themselves, completely ignoring what Liu Ziming and his companions hadn't even considered, and showing no regard for them whatsoever, which seemed quite bizarre.
"Everyone, stop arguing. These resentful spirits are at least several kilometers away from us. They can clearly sense our presence, which is why they are making these noises. Don't be fooled by them!"
After all, everyone has just entered the entrance of discovery. Although the ancient resentment may have already discovered them, it will definitely not be in this vicinity. Therefore, Liu Ziming felt it was necessary to remind everyone not to waste too much of their energy.
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, the man felt much calmer. After all, Liu Ziming had the ability to sense things in advance; if he hadn't discovered something, he definitely wouldn't have said that. "Can't you guys just let me have a moment's peace? You're always bothering me to rest; it's really annoying!"
They continued on their way after listening to Liu Ziming's words, but their nerves remained on edge, fearing that the ancient resentment might appear at any moment and turn them into a delicious meal. They didn't want to just kick the bucket like that.
However, in the main hall of the ancient battlefield, a giant figure sat impatiently in his chair, looking at the resentful spirits around him and making tsk-tsk sounds, appearing very unhappy. With a wave of his hand, several ancient resentful spirits instantly vanished into thin air.
"If you guys don't shut up and disturb my rest, you have no reason to live. Although you have lived for thousands of years and still retain your original information, in front of me, you guys are not even worth a fart."
That imposing figure, exuding a slightly sinister aura, instantly extinguished several ancient resentments. Then, he closed his eyes, completely disregarding them, and leisurely rested in his chair. "Wait, why do I sense a familiar aura? Could it be that I'm still connected to ancient resentments? This is too damn weird!"
Liu Ziming had no idea that the cave entrance he entered might be the entrance to an ancient battlefield from antiquity. However, he could clearly sense a familiar aura slowly swirling around him, seemingly deeply connected to him, which he found particularly strange. (Requesting flowers.)
After all, Liu Ziming was walking in front, so no one could see what his expression was like. If someone did notice, they would definitely ask him loudly.
"Little one, perhaps we are truly destined to meet. How did you get here? Did someone guide you, or did you discover this place by chance?"
Just as Liu Ziming's mind was racing, he never dreamed that the familiar aura he felt could actually reach his ears, causing his mind to tremble.
"Why does this guy claim to know me? Could he really be connected to me? But this place seems to be an ancient battlefield from ancient times, full of resentful spirits and lingering ghosts. How could I be connected to them? I can't understand this strange phenomenon even if you beat me to death."
… 0
The slightly sinister voice seemed strange because Liu Ziming didn't respond at all. He felt that Liu Ziming was like him, but not as strong as him. However, that aura was all too familiar to him.
