Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"New skin?"

Wang Mu was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, Zhong Wanling also woke up. Seeing the change in Wang Mu, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Mu felt somewhat helpless, lamenting that he was no longer the incredibly masculine and handsome man he once was.

"Does it look much more effeminate?"

As she spoke, she held her head and pulled out a handful of her hair.

Zhong Wanling covered her mouth, wanting to laugh, but she held it back and comforted her.

"No, no, he's more like the legendary emperor."

Wang Mu couldn't help but nod.

After all, this appearance greatly increases its recognizability.

When Wang Mu turned around and placed the mirror next to the pillow, he saw several portraits of himself on the pillow, as well as a small wooden statue, all of which looked exactly like him—no, like his original self.

With a quick thought, she nudged the portrait and looked at Zhong Wanling, "Uh, did you make this for me?"

Zhong Wanling waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, it was made and sent over by the disciples to pray for your well-being."

Wang Mu realized with alarm that he hadn't thought of this method before.

I have clearly visited various temples, prayed and offered incense, and then had to go back to fulfill my vows.

This whole process is clearly just a way to get magical powers out of nothing.

But having just woken up, he didn't want to fall unconscious again immediately, so he didn't level up right away.

Zhong Wanling, standing to the side, blushed slightly. Realizing that his behavior had gone too far, Wang Mu quickly restrained himself.

"You brat, I could hear you laughing and crying from outside. Why didn't you come to see your master?"

Yin Wangmu then went into the house.

Wang Mu looked at Yin Wangmu and chuckled.

"I am very confident in my skills."

After all, Wang Mu only lost his strength and fainted after hearing Yin Wangmu's heartbeat become strong and powerful.

Upon seeing Yin Wangmu arrive, Zhong Wanling got up and led the remaining few out.

Let's leave this space for the master and his apprentice.

Yin Wangmu sat by Wangmu's bedside, looking at Wangmu's current appearance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You brat, you really are starting to resemble the emperor described in legends more and more."

Wang Mu joked, "I think the halo around the back of my head now is big enough for me to sit in a temple."

Yin Wangmu reached out and gave Wangmu a sharp rap on the head.

"Is that called an aperture? That's called a circular aperture!"

"And you don't know that there's also a halo behind you when you use your abilities."

This was the first time Wang Mu had realized that there was a halo behind him; oh, that's called a circular halo.

"By the way, Master, are there any patterns inside my halo?"

Wang Mu knew this; the halo contained lotus flowers, scrolling grass, and many other plants.

Yin Wangmu took a teacup, poured some tea onto the table, and began to draw.

The main body is a concentric circle, with a smaller outer circle and intricate patterns, resembling the branches and leaves of a plant, and is symmetrical from left to right.

The symbols for the inner circle are more complicated, and Yin Wangmu can only roughly draw their shape.

"The specifics are quite complex, but that's the general idea."

Wang Mu's smile faltered. He recognized the symbol; in his dream, it was embroidered on his white brocade robe with gold patterns.

This made Wang Mu even more certain that the dream was very likely his past life.

"Master, do you believe in reincarnation?"

Yin Wangmu took a sip of tea and nodded.

"nature."

"What? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Oh, it's me..."

Before Wang Mu could finish speaking, a disciple outside the door called out.

"Something happened. Something serious happened."

The two immediately went outside and inquired.

"What happened?"

The disciple, panting, handed the letter to Yin Wangmu.

"The Demon God was assassinated, and the entire Demon Realm was overthrown."

Wang Mu sighed, it was a pity that the guy didn't die by his hand.

"What is the current situation in the Demon Realm?"

"Your Majesty, the person who killed the Demon God was an unknown fellow, but he immediately claimed to be the Demon Lord."

Wang Mu was taken aback, and asked with a dark expression.

"Don't tell me that this Demon Lord is called Chonglou."

The disciple shook his head.

"No, this demon lord is named Qiongqi."

Before Wang Mu could react, Baihu and Xuanwu stepped forward.

"Qiongqi..."

"Kid, your real opponent has appeared."

Wang Mu almost collapsed to the ground.

"Brother, you call Qiongqi 'nameless'?"

Indeed, few people know about the ancient ferocious beasts; most consider them just legends and myths, or at most, stories made up by adults to scare their children.

Not only the two ancient mythical beasts, but Wang Mu also gasped in surprise.

Previously, we encountered the ferocious beast Ji Lai. Although it is one of the five ancient ferocious beasts, it is only ranked fifth and it insisted on adding itself to the list.

Among ferocious beasts, it is at best a junior.

The four truly ancient ferocious beasts are Taotie, Taowu, Hundun, and Qiongqi.

Qiongqi ranks third among them.

According to legend, Qiongqi is as big as an ox, resembles a tiger, has hair like sharp thorns, ox horns, eagle claws, and bird wings.

Yin Wangmu, standing to the side, reassured Wangmu.

"It's alright, brat. At least you have the White Tiger and Black Tortoise to help you."

Xiao Cheng volunteered to push, and Yin Wangmu then added Xiao Cheng to the team.

"Yes, and Xiao Cheng too."

"I'm going to cultivate."

Wang Mu turned and left in a hurry; he had to make sure he was on the safe side.

The four ancient ferocious beasts are no joke. Not only do they possess absolute combat power, but having lived for so long, they also have ample combat experience, which explains why they were able to quickly quell the demon gods after killing them.

In the face of absolute power, everything else is inferior.

Baihu, Xuanwu, and Xiaocheng all silently returned to Wang Mu's sea of ​​consciousness.

After returning to his room, Wang Mu sat cross-legged.

This time was different from the previous upgrade; he could clearly feel the changes in his body and even his soul.

Wang Mu felt that this was like peeling a pomelo. It was always difficult at first and took a long time, but once you got a cut, it became much easier.

But an even greater danger awaits Wang Mu.

Wang Mu closed his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy continuously gathering into his body.

This time, Wang Mu spent even less time, with the entire process taking less than half an hour.

After Wang Mu came out, he saw Cen Yimu pacing back and forth at the door with a child.

"Cen Yimu, what's wrong?" Wang Mu asked.

Upon seeing Wang Mu emerge, Cen Yimu hurried forward.

"This is Bai Xuanyue. We found her on the road. The demons have already mobilized."

"So fast!"

The whole process was incredibly fast. Less than two hours after the news of the change of power in the Demon Realm arrived, Qiongqi led the Demon Realm into action.

This demonstrates Qiongqi's absolute power and leadership ability; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to mobilize so quickly.

It seems that Qiongqi had anticipated that once the news of his becoming the Demon Lord came out, all the major sects and even the entire human race might unite to fight against him, the strongest opponent, and thus mobilized so quickly.
