Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Where is my Demon Lord's Sword?" the Heavenly Demon continued.

"In my hands," Chu Qin said.

"Good, just right. Zhu Yan was released by you, so you shall bear this responsibility," the Heavenly Demon said, "I will teach you the Six Heavenly Demon Styles, and you will be able to wield the Demon Lord's Sword."

"Wait, aren't you afraid that I won't deal with Zhu Yan?" Chu Qin asked.

"You carry seventy percent of the Qinglong Bloodline, which is no longer merely an Azure Dragon descendent, but the next head of the Sacred Beast Secret Realm," the Heavenly Demon continued, "Since Lord Qinglong trusts you, I too shall trust you! When the Demon Lord's Sword is drawn, my soul will ascend to the Nine Heavens, deeming that a successor has been found."

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Demon's skeleton emitted a terrifying black gas, which immediately surged into Chu Qin's body.

Instantly, Chu Qin felt an endless power of the Heavenly Demon pouring into his body.

Chu Qin immediately sat down cross-legged to refine this Heavenly Demon qi.

"Eh, young man, have you cultivated the Demonic Arts of my Heavenly Demon clan?" the Heavenly Demon asked with a faint surprise.

"Demonic Arts, Immortal Demon Body, does that count?" Chu Qin asked.

"What, you know the Immortal Demon Body?" the Heavenly Demon was even more startled.

"Mhm," Chu Qin nodded.

"This is really quite a coincidence!" the Heavenly Demon replied, "The Immortal Demon Body complements my Six Heavenly Demon Styles perfectly. Show me using your Immortal Demon Body."

Chu Qin nodded and immediately summoned the Immortal Demon Body.

In an instant, Chu Qin's body was covered in demonic patterns.

"Good, indeed it's the Immortal Demon Body!" the Heavenly Demon exclaimed with excitement, "With this, I need not fear the power of the Heavenly Demon overwhelming your foundation, young man, endure it!"

As the words of the Heavenly Demon fell, more potent Heavenly Demon qi squeezed into Chu Qin's body, unleashing an excruciating pain throughout his entire being!

"How has Chu Qin turned out like this!" Xiaowu exclaimed in surprise, "He won't be in trouble, right?"

"No, he won't," Xi E said, "The Heavenly Demon is bestowing upon him an extraordinary Secret Technique!"

At that moment, Chu Qin's pupils suddenly contracted.

It seemed something significant was happening!

"Young man, the Heavenly Demon legacy must not stop! Cast aside all distractions, or you'll deviate into madness!" feeling Chu Qin's distractions, the Heavenly Demon immediately admonished.

Chu Qin furrowed his brow and wholeheartedly refined the power of the Heavenly Demon.

Meanwhile, a golden light descended beside the ladies.

That golden light held none other than Chu Qin within it.

At this moment, Chu Qin was covered in wounds and scars!

"Chu Qin! No, you are Chu Qin's clone!" the women immediately realized.

"How did you become so injured?" asked Xiaowu, her heart aching. Even though it wasn't Chu Qin and Chu Qin wouldn't be in any danger, the sight of his perfect body and handsome appearance marred by wounds pained her.

"Zhu Yan has defeated Guangyan and Rén Tú; now the City Lord of Fuxi City and Emperor Youlong are rushing here!" said the weakened clone of Chu Qin. With those words, Chu Qin's clone completely dissipated.

"What!" all the ladies exclaimed in shock.

"Master, did you just say that Ghost Dragon and Calabash Great Emperor, along with Fuxi City and the Nether Beast Race, are coming here?" Xiao Qiu asked anxiously.

"Mhm!" Xi E also looked worried, glancing at Chu Qin, "Chu Qin is currently receiving the Heavenly Demon legacy; he cannot take action. We must rely on ourselves now!"

"No, even if it costs me my life, I will not let them get close to Master!" the Dragon Blood Qilin declared determinedly.

"Chu Qin has always protected us; it's time for us to protect him for once!" Ning Rongrong also added.

"But, can we really repel them?" Zhu Zhuqing said, feeling somewhat panicky.

"No matter what, we have to fight!" Bi Bidong said. "As long as we buy enough time for Chu Qin, we win!"

"Dong'er, you take command!" Xi E said. "We'll listen to you."

"Good! Groups of eight, form the Eight Trigrams Dragon God Formation!" Bi Bidong commanded. "Xiao Qi, Sister Xi E, you two hold the center. Xiao Qiu, stay by Chu Qin's side, no matter what, we must persist!"

The Eight Trigrams Dragon God Formation, derived from Chu Qin's secret technique of Bagua combined with the Azure Dragon Array, would naturally not become outdated.

"Yes!" All the women nodded in unison.

"What about me?" Huo Ninger asked.

She didn't know anything about the Eight Trigrams Dragon God Formation.

"Huo Ninger, you're not our sister; there's no need for you to risk your life with us," Bi Bidong said to Huo Ninger.

"No! Chu Qin saved me twice; he's my benefactor. I also want to contribute my strength for him, even if it means death!" Huo Ninger said with a determined gaze.

"Then you stay with Xiao Qiu, guard the last line of defense," Bi Bidong decided on the spot.

"Okay!" Huo Ninger nodded, then moved beside Chu Qin.

Following that, Bi Bidong and the others formed the Eight Trigrams Dragon God Formation around Chu Qin, bracing for the confrontation.

All this Chu Qin heard, but he tried to focus, keeping his mind free of distractions.

"Young man, it seems you have a group of good women!" the Heavenly Demon said.

"Senior, they are the most important people to me," Chu Qin said. "Could you, protect them for me?"

"Old man, my heart is willing but my strength is insufficient!" the Heavenly Demon said. "Now, just like you, I cannot move. However, they mentioned that the Nether Beast Race is coming; I'll try to hold them off for you."

"Good, thank you, senior."

The hearts of all the women were filled with trepidation. They were facing the greatest calamity in history.

They could only hope for a miracle.

But no miracle appeared; instead, a massive black shadow had already descended above the skeleton.

This being, a Nether Beast with the head of a dragon— if not Emperor Youlong, then who?

"The Ancestral Emperor's Body, it truly is the Ancestral Emperor's Body!" Emperor Youlong recognized the skeleton of the Rakshasa Demon Lord Emperor at a glance.

"Ancestral heritage, the Demon Emperor Sword of our Rakshasa ancestors, is embedded in him; it should be in the chest area!" Emperor Youlong said, looking towards the Heavenly Demon's chest.

Soon, he saw the surging black power, his face alight with joy and surprise.

"Power of Tian Mo, this is the Power of Tian Mo, a ceaseless flow of Tian Mo's power!" Emperor Youlong excitedly watched the power surging around the Heavenly Demon, a look of contentment and comfort on his face.

"If I can absorb this Power of Tian Mo, no one in the universe will be my match!"

However, a closer look revealed that all this power of Tian Mo was flowing toward Chu Qin!

Emperor Youlong was instantly incensed!

"Damn it, someone dares to steal the holy power of my ancestor!" Emperor Youlong landed on the Chest Bone Continent and finally noticed the presence of Bi Bidong and the others.

As Emperor Youlong approached, a terrible oppressive force hit them in an instant.

Even Xi E and the Dragon Blood Qilin were taken aback.

Emperor Youlong seemed to have grown even stronger!

And, more powerful than even Chu Qin beneath the Immortal Demon Body!

Indeed, Emperor Youlong had just devoured Ren Tu Great Emperor and ascended to an even higher realm.

"Who are you people, daring to steal the ancestral power of my forebears!" Emperor Youlong said, gazing angrily at Chu Qin and the women.
