Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 724: The Jade Box

```

"Your clan's grand plan?"

Qinchuan laughed, "The Demon Race has long been extinct, you, including all your clanspeople, have already vanished in the river of time. The grand plan you speak of, I'm afraid, has also long turned into nothing but a bubble shadow."

"What did you say?"

The breath of the enchantress suddenly changed, a powerful Qi burst forth from her body, and black lightning shot from her eyes, crackling explosively in the void around Qinchuan.

She looked at Qinchuan with a grim expression, word by word, "Say that again?"

"I said, the Demon Race has already perished. You no longer need to stand guard in this place. While this remnant soul of yours can still move, leave this place and take a last look at this world."

Qinchuan remained calm and fearless, repeating his words.

"Impossible! The generals of my race were valiant and unrivaled, even Di Tian, that old man, was no match for our leader. How could we possibly be extinct!"

The enchantress's expression changed drastically, and she became hysterical, her face twisted with rage as she roared at Qinchuan.

"You're spouting nonsense, trying to disturb my spirit!"

"How pitiful, oh, how pitiable. A billion-year-old extinct race, yet completely unaware of its own state."

Qinchuan shook his head as he continued speaking.

"Back then, the four races waged war, provoking the Heavenly Dao, which created the Underworld and the Divine Realm, setting a deadline for the Demon, Ghost, and Demon Races to leave the Divine Wilderness Continent.

In the end, the Demon and Demon Races vanished in the struggle for the right to reside in the Upper Realm, while the Ghost Race was driven into the Underworld.

These events have passed hundreds of millions of years ago. As soon as you leave this place, you can easily inquire about them. Why would I need to deceive you?"

"Provoke the Heavenly Dao... the four races waged war again?!" The enchantress was stunned, her memory stuck at the time of the great battle amongst the four races that shattered the Divine Wilderness Continent, when the Heavenly Dao laid down its laws.

Afterward, she was unaware of the struggle between the four races for the right of residency in the Upper Realm.

Now, hearing Qinchuan speak of things such as provoking the Heavenly Dao, it was clear he was not spouting nonsense.

Seeing the enchantress's spirit agitated and her Qi affected, Qinchuan struck while the iron was hot and continued.

"What I just said is entirely true. I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If there is a half-truth in my words, let my soul be utterly annihilated!"

Qinchuan spoke with certainty and took an oath to the Heavenly Dao. At this point, the enchantress had to believe him.

She was thoroughly stunned, her rosy lips and white teeth murmuring repeatedly, "How is it possible... How is it possible... My race's warriors were brave and unmatched..."

The enchantress had been waiting in this place for hundreds of millions of years, merely to fulfill the grand mission of her clan. Yet, what she didn't expect in the end was to receive news of her race's extinction.

The pain of her clan's annihilation was too great a blow for her. After a long while, she gestured to Qinchuan with a wave.

"Go! Just go!"

As she spoke, her body began to slowly mist up, transforming into streams of pink mist, dissipating into the void.

Simultaneously, like a dream shattering, the Abyss of Phantom in which they stood began to gradually collapse and fragment.

Meanwhile, outside, the people noticed that the red glow that had been shooting up into the sky was also gradually disappearing.

"This red mist is vanishing!"

The cultivators outside, noticing the anomaly, could no longer sit still and began to make their way into the mountain range.

Lights dazzled all around, and after a dizzying whirl of heaven and earth, Qinchuan felt a chilly breath emanating around him.

Waves splashed against his face, and he confirmed that he was no longer within the enchantress's illusion and had returned to reality.

"She died, just like that?!"

Qinchuan hadn't expected to break free so easily.

In truth, the mission of this enchantress was to abide by her clan's wishes and stand guard here.

This remnant soul of hers was also born because of this mission. Now that the Demon Race no longer existed, her mission could no longer be fulfilled. Her obsession turned into empty words, and in the end, she dissipated.

Just then, Qinchuan suddenly felt waves of coolness emanating from the location of his Dantian.

```

"The control of the Dao Lotus space has returned!"

Qinchuan was delighted.

Just a moment ago, due to the prohibition of martial rules, he was unable to mobilize his spiritual power and soul, and even his connection with the Dao Lotus space had been severed.

He immediately tried to operate his mana to test it.

The next moment Qinchuan murmured to himself.

"Only a part has been restored, it has not fully recovered yet!"

As he spoke, he introspected the Dao Lotus.

Inside the Dantian, a black Dao Lotus was spinning rapidly, and at the same time, a refreshing spiritual energy was overflowing from its base.

"It turns out it was you who saved me at a critical moment!"

Qinchuan recalled that he had fallen into the Abyss of Phantom, created by the succubus; although he had already seen through the succubus's enchanting illusion technique, the fire in his heart was impossible to suppress.

If he had mated with the succubus in the illusion, he would have been completely lost, but if he did not follow the succubus, his body would explode from the rampantly flowing spiritual energy within him and he would die.

At the critical moment, it was a cool breeze emanating from the Dantian that completely suppressed the succubus's enticement.

Qinchuan looked around.

He could sense that he was still under the water, surrounded by silence.

"As expected, Wu Xin Fairy has already left."

At that time, Qinchuan unexpectedly thought of Wu Xin Fairy.

However, he quickly had another thought: "That bad woman has always been coveting the supreme treasure on me. If she followed me here, she might have stripped me completely and run off!"

Qinchuan pushed these messy thoughts to the back of his mind and began to take in his surroundings. The area was dim and heavy, with only bursts of dazzling light coming from beneath his feet.

Qinchuan focused his gaze and saw that the glowing objects were actually piles of grim white bones.

The bones shimmered with light, and the bone inscriptions glowed, indicating the extraordinary nature of their owners.

"These are the remains of the strong from ancient exotic races!"

Qinchuan continued to search, and saw not far ahead, a voluptuous woman sitting cross-legged in the center of a Demon Lotus.

"This is that succubus!" Qinchuan realized in his heart.

She had long died, her body bore no signs of life, but her physique remained uncorrupted, her eyes bright and teeth white, her red lips vivid. She was dressed modestly, her outfit conservatively covering her body, presenting a peculiar kind of allure.

Beside her, there lay an exquisite jade box, its entirety chaotic and unclear what it contained inside.

"Hm?"

Qinchuan picked up the jade box and scrutinized it closely, only to discover two extremely familiar symbols.

"It's that script again!"

Qinchuan stood there stunned, finding two characters on the bottom of the jade box that he could not understand.

He had seen this script many times before.

On the mysterious steles that had shifted entire mountains, on the bronze gate at the entrance of the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.

These mysterious characters seemingly all pointed to a group of people wearing silver masks.

And now, these characters appeared once again on an artifact of the Demon Race from a billion years ago.

"Could it be... that these silver-masked people were plotting something a billion years ago?"

A sudden realization struck Qinchuan's heart.

But he immediately shook his head, "No, a billion years, no one can live that long; it must be the script of some mysterious force!"

Qinchuan did not delve further into these characters, instead, he focused his attention on the jade box in his hand.

Apart from this box, there was nothing else around the succubus. It seemed that what she had been guarding was this very item.
