"Dead?"
Chen Mo was slightly stunned.
According to the original plot development, the Demon Lord was likely to be the ultimate boss of the upcoming DLC, with strength comparable to the Empress.
Even if unable to match in power, escaping should not have been a problem.
And yet, just died like that?
"Empress, are you certain you’ve killed the Demon Lord?" Chen Mo regained his composure, frowned, and said, "That Demon Lord is extremely skilled in the art of avatars. Could it be they used a technique to feign death and escape?"
Yu Youhan replied calmly, "Whether it’s a clone, I can tell, she has already been rendered into nothingness by Returning Ruins Dao Power, with no possibility of resurrection."
Pausing in her tone, she pondered, "But come to think of it, it is indeed a little strange..."
"The Demon Lord’s strength was much weaker than I imagined. Logically, someone who can refine an entire mountain range and wield the power of heaven and earth should not be so easy to kill."
"Moreover, after her death, the array is still in operation, protecting the Demon Clan."
"So I suspect, aside from that Demon Lord, there might be another Ultimate Venerable in the Desolate Domain... as to why they haven’t acted, I do not know."
Another Ultimate Venerable?
Chen Mo’s heart chilled.
If the Demon Clan truly has two Ultimate Venerable Realm existences, it’s not good news for him.
"Previously, the Daoist Venerable mentioned a name during a confrontation with the Demon Lord’s clone, Zhu Jiuyou; could it be the hidden Ultimate Venerable?"
"Zhu Jiuyou?"
Yu Youhan recalled for a moment and said, "I’ve heard this name, but it’s from a long time ago, seemingly someone from the same era as the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Master... but they have long fallen in that era of great strife, becoming dust in history."
Chen Mo had heard a little about the so-called "era of great strife."
At the time, the land was without a master, dragons and serpents arose, and Heavenly Prides from Buddhism, Taoism, magic, and demons emerged, marking the golden age with the most Ultimate Venerables in history, as well as the most chaotic and turbulent time.
In that light, Zhu Jiuyou should be the strongest of the Demon Clan from a thousand years ago.
Then what is the relationship between him and Zhu Wujiang?
Recalling the previously triggered hidden event—
[Zhu Jiuyou shines in the abyss of night, Eternal Prison boils Yellow Springs.]
Chen Mo’s heart stirred, he asked, "Empress, do you know what kind of Demon Creature Zhu Jiuyou is?"
Yu Youhan touched her chin, and said, "It’s said to be a dragon?"
"A dragon?"
Chen Mo’s brow twitched, "Does such a creature really exist?"
The closest he had seen to a dragon was the Blood Flood Dragon he encountered in Linglan County.
