"These are the demons?"
Dozens of miles from where the Soul Palace fortress descended, Xiao Mu and his group appeared before a demon.
The demon god had already retreated, but before he left, he still arranged for many demon soldiers to continue monitoring the place where the Soul Palace fortress descended. This place, which Xiao Mu and his group discovered, was one of them.
This demon was not an ordinary low-ranking soldier, but a demon equivalent to a sixth-tier powerhouse on the Divine Seal King's throne.
This demon was already quite strong, but under Electrolux's attack, it didn't even have time to react before it completely lost its ability to resist.
A green light flashed in Electrolux's eyes, and a similar green light appeared in the eyes of the demon he was holding.
"The demons are nothing special; they can't resist my necromancy either."
Electrolux's necromancy is similar to Xiao Mu's soul-searching technique; both are abilities to read the other person's memories.
This demon was considered a mid-to-upper-level leader among all demons, possessing considerable intelligence. He had at least given the long-dead Electrolux a basic understanding of the Holy Demon Continent.
"Palace Master, the Holy Demon Continent nowadays..."
Electrolux already knew that Xiao Mu and his group had only recently arrived on the Holy Demon Continent, and were essentially extraterrestrial visitors like the demons. After reading the demon's memories, Electrolux wanted to explain the current situation on the Holy Demon Continent to Xiao Mu.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Xiao Mu waved his hand, refusing Electrolux's introduction, and chose to do it himself, searching the soul of the demon that Electrolux had already read with necromancy once.
Not only did Xiao Mu search for the demon's memories himself, but he also directly transmitted valuable information to Zhan Kaishan and the others.
Electrolux's usually impassive face finally showed a hint of surprise.
After being summoned, although he submitted to Xiao Mu, he was only very curious about Xiao Mu's ability to revive him, and did not know anything about Xiao Mu's own strength.
After Xiao Mu demonstrated his skills, Electrolux sensed Xiao Mu's powerful soul force from his soul-searching technique.
Electrolux himself possessed immense soul power; without a powerful soul, he could not have become the Undead Scourge or the Necromancer God.
When Xiao Mu used his soul power, he only saw the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough for him to guess that Xiao Mu's soul power was no less than his own.
Even in terms of quality, strength, and various magical abilities, it surpasses the soul of this necromancer god.
"The Palace Master's soul power is unparalleled; your subordinate admires it."
This was the first time Electrolux had spoken on his own initiative, and the first thing he said was words of admiration for Xiao Mu.
He had a general idea of Xiao Mu's soul-searching method, but he could not replicate it after only a glance. He only knew that it was very different from the magic of the Holy Demon Continent, and was very exquisite and unique.
"The Soul Hall is skilled in cultivating the soul. Once you return to the main Soul Hall, you can learn the Soul Hall's soul cultivation techniques."
Electrolux's soul power is already very strong, but the upper limit of soul power is far beyond this. With the Soul Palace's soul cultivation techniques, his soul power will be greatly improved, and he may even become a god through another path.
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you."
From this demon's memories, Xiao Mu and the others learned that the demon race had descended more than four thousand years ago.
Electrolux knew that countless humans had died at the hands of demons over the past four thousand years, and his mood was somewhat melancholy.
Electrolux was never a villain in the true sense; as a child of light, he possessed noble character and a pure spirit.
However, due to betrayal and deception, he eventually became isolated and had no choice but to become an enemy of the Glorious Church, the strongest force on the Holy Demon Continent at the time.
Finally, the undead calamity he unleashed swept across the Holy Demon Continent, changing the entire continent's landscape and causing the demise of countless powerful beings.
Electrolux knew that if the catastrophe he had unleashed had not depleted so much of the Holy Demon Continent's strength, the human resistance after the demons descended would not have been so difficult.
They might even be able to eliminate or seal the demons before they arrive and establish a firm foothold, thus avoiding the loss of most of the Holy Demon Continent.
Of course, Electrolux only sighed, but did not regret it.
He felt that he had done nothing wrong from beginning to end, and that the Holy See's targeting of him and his subsequent retaliation were entirely his own fault.
As for the issue of excessive killing, as a necromancer saint, his understanding of death was already different from that of ordinary people.
However, as a human from the Holy Demon Continent, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard that humans were being slaughtered by the demon race.
This anger is directed not only at the demons, but also at the once glorious papacy.
After all, if the Glorious Church hadn't targeted and plotted against him, he wouldn't have gone from a revered Son of Light to a necromancer feared and hated by everyone.
"Lord of the Palace, this demon is no longer of any use, is he?"
"Do as you please."
This demon has been completely exploited, and Xiao Mu waved his hand, letting Electrolux do as he pleased.
With a light wave of his staff, the demon, already weakened by the necromancy that had searched his memories and Xiao Mu's soul search, instantly shriveled up, turning into a dried-up corpse.
His form also changed drastically, transforming from a snake-like demon into a real, dried-up giant python.
Zhan Kaishan couldn't help but shudder.
Electrolux calmly cast necromancy, but the chilling and evil aura emanating from it sent a shiver down Zhan Kaishan's spine.
Are all the people in this world trained and fought in such a sinister way?
Even the ghosts and demons frequently glanced at him. Although he was called Ghost Douluo and his fighting style was incredibly ghostly, it shouldn't be this bizarre.
"Old Zhan, do you still want to fight Electrolux?" Qiu Tian asked Zhan Kaishan at this moment.
After spending a lot of time with Zhan Kaishan, Qiu Tian, who was originally rather taciturn, also learned to tease.
Zhan Kaishan immediately frowned: "It's just that the methods are a bit strange, I don't think it's anything special."
That's what they said, but Zhan Kaishan's voice was noticeably softer than before.
Electrolux heard Zhan Kaishan's words but simply smiled.
Turning demons into his puppet corpses was nothing special; the reason he spent time doing this was more to study the differences between demons and the native creatures of the Holy Demon Continent.
During the transformation of the snake demon, Electrolux gained a general understanding of the physical and spiritual structure of demons.
As long as life exists, his necromancy will be effective.
"Let's go, our goal is the seventy-two Demon God Pillars."
Besides the Demon God Pillar, Xiao Mu is also interested in the cultivation system of the Divine Seal King's Seat, and perhaps he can combine the cultivation system of the Divine Seal King's Seat with that of Douluo Continent.
"Palace Master, the Divine Throne in this demon's memory seems to be quite extraordinary. The humans of the Holy Demon Continent were actually able to withstand powerful demons with the Divine Throne," Zhan Kaishan said.
"That's quite interesting."
Although the Soul Palace does not require the Divine Throne for upgrades, Xiao Mu himself is quite interested in the Divine Throne. If all else fails, he could even build himself a throne.
