My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

99: Released from confinement, Wan Chongling surrendersThe Shuantian Chain truly lives up to its name as a supreme killing treasure; I never imagined it could possess such terrifying power.

Lu Fengming closed his eyes, and with the system’s help, he carefully sensed the power that had sealed the Black-Robed Old Man.

A scene immediately appeared in his mind.

It was a chain, shimmering with golden light.

Aside from its golden glow, its appearance was quite ordinary.

It looked just like a common dog leash.

Yet, despite its ordinary appearance as a dog leash, the Shuantian Chain’s miraculous and terrifying nature inspired awe.

Each link of the chain contained numerous dense symbols and various Heaven and Earth Dao Runes.

All the Heaven and Earth Dao Runes, when manifested, emitted a powerful golden light.

This light possessed a mysterious power that could automatically seal the cultivation of the bound cultivator.

”I never thought these things could be so miraculous.”

Seeing these Heaven and Earth Dao Runes, a cold sneer involuntarily appeared on Lu Fengming’s lips.

As a supreme killing treasure, the Shuantian Chain originally had no offensive power; it relied on these incredibly divine Heaven and Earth Dao Runes, using their sealing power to bind cultivators.

It could not only restrict their movements but also their cultivation.

Even a cultivator in the Combination Realm could not exert any power under the Shuantian Chain’s restraint.

Just like the Black-Robed Old Man now.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fengming’s mind stirred, and he quickly activated the spatial black hole before him.

An extremely vast power rapidly surged forth.

Before the powerful devouring force of that spatial black hole, the Shuantian Chain, which was binding the Black-Robed Old Man, rushed towards the spatial black hole like a bursting floodgate.

In just an instant, the Shuantian Chain, originally hidden around the Black-Robed Old Man, revealed itself.

It was ultimately devoured completely by the spatial black hole, thus falling into Lu Fengming’s hands.

”What powerful force is this? What kind of power is this? Not only can it help me resolve the trouble of the Shuantian Chain, but even the Shuantian Chain, this supreme killing treasure, can be easily attracted by it.”

Perceiving the terrifying power possessed by that spatial black hole, and seeing that even the Shuantian Chain ultimately fell into Lu Fengming’s hands, the Black-Robed Old Man couldn’t help but be greatly alarmed.

That was the Shuantian Chain. It was a supreme killing treasure.

Now, it had been so easily obtained by Lu Fengming.

After a brief shock, what remained was unprecedented ecstasy.

Because the Black-Robed Old Man had keenly discovered that without the suppression of the Shuantian Chain, the powerful sealing force had also completely vanished.

The current Shuantian Chain was like Sun Wukong, who had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, suddenly having that suppressive force removed by Tang Sanzang, allowing him to see the light of day again.

The excitement in Sun Wukong’s heart when he escaped from under the Five Elements Mountain was imaginable.

In fact, the current state of the Black-Robed Old Man was even more intense than Sun Wukong’s.

The thing that had suppressed him for 5,000 years had vanished into thin air, completely disappearing before him.

This gave the Black-Robed Old Man a feeling of being free from all burdens, as light as a swallow.

”The Shuantian Chain has been completely removed by me, and the power that suppressed you has also completely vanished. With the passage of time, your power will slowly recover.”

After the spatial black hole devoured the Shuantian Chain, the power of the spatial black hole also completely dissipated.

Lu Fengming slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm tone.

Although helping the Black-Robed Old Man resolve the trouble of the Shuantian Chain also allowed Lu Fengming to obtain the Shuantian Chain, this supreme killing treasure.

Yet, Lu Fengming’s face still showed a calm expression, without any arrogance or the ecstasy of obtaining the Shuantian Chain.

It was as if everything that had just happened was already within Lu Fengming’s expectations.

He was able to remain unperturbed by honor or disgrace, calm and composed.

Hearing Lu Fengming say these words, the Black-Robed Old Man’s old face immediately became extremely agitated.

In his extreme excitement, he even felt like crying tears of joy.

The tears in his eyes came instantly, flowing out in torrents.

”Thank you, Your Excellency Demon Lord, for saving me. Your Excellency Demon Lord’s great kindness and virtue, this old man is eternally grateful.”

”From this day forward, this old man is willing to serve Your Excellency Demon Lord. No matter the mission, I will not hesitate even to die.”

After a brief moment of excitement, the Black-Robed Old Man plopped down and knelt directly before Lu Fengming.

His voice was choked, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

5,000 years!

That was 5,000 years of time.

Since 5,000 years ago, the Black-Robed Old Man had been sealed here by the monarch of the Tianyu Empire using the Shuantian Chain.

Throughout these five millennia, the Black-Robed Old Man could only move within a few thousand miles, and due to the restraint of the Shuantian Chain, he suffered daily torment.

Not only was he unable to cultivate, but he could only watch helplessly as his strength and realm gradually declined.

The bitterness in his heart was unimaginable.

The Black-Robed Old Man’s heart was filled with frustration and unwillingness.

For these 5,000 years, the only motivation that kept him alive was revenge.

He had only one thought in his mind.

One day, he would surely escape the bonds of the Shuantian Chain.

At that time, he would seek revenge on the Tianyu Empire.

He would return the torment he had suffered over these 5,000 years a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, to the imperial family of the Tianyu Empire, and even to every cultivator in the Tianyu Empire.

Although the Black-Robed Old Man had grand dreams, he was utterly defeated by reality.

Facing the restraint of the Shuantian Chain, he was completely powerless.

Although he constantly wished to break through the Shuantian Chain’s restraint.

However, the Shuantian Chain, this supreme killing treasure, was truly terrifying.

Furthermore, he had been severely injured back then and was unable to fully recover.

The previous monarch of the Tianyu Empire, in order to deal with the Black-Robed Old Man, had also arranged a large amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy and various other forces around the Shuantian Chain, continuously oppressing the Black-Robed Old Man.

Although by today, those spiritual energies and oppressions had completely vanished.

Yet, with the passage of time, the power of the Shuantian Chain was also continuously dissipating.

The current him had no ability whatsoever to break through the Shuantian Chain’s restraint.

He could only be imprisoned here, living a dark and confined life.

Until today, until the arrival of Lord Lu Fengming, the Demon Lord, the Black-Robed Old Man finally saw hope for his life.

”No need to be so polite, get up.”

Lu Fengming glanced at the Black-Robed Old Man kneeling on the ground and said calmly.

”Thank you again for the help of Lord Demon Lord, this old man is endlessly grateful.”

Hearing Lu Fengming say these words, the Black-Robed Old Man stumbled to his feet.

At this moment, this old monster, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, had bloodshot eyes.

Tears still streamed down his cheeks.

At such an old age, he was crying like a child, his old face already tear-streaked.

This appearance seemed somewhat comical.

Even Tian Sha, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

Tian Sha was well aware of his ancestor’s situation.

In fact, back when the Tianyu Empire and many other cultivators attacked the Tian Sha Sect, Tian Sha had also experienced such a situation.

Five thousand years ago, Tian Sha was just an inconspicuous protector of the Tian Sha Sect, and he participated in resisting the combined attack of the Tianyu Empire, Yan Yang Empire, and many other forces.

Tian Sha had a deep understanding of the tragic nature of that great battle.

After that battle, almost all the high-ranking members of the Tian Sha Sect were killed in action.

Even the ancestor of the Tian Sha Sect, the Black-Robed Old Man before them, suffered unprecedented severe injuries and was bound by the Shuantian Chain, only to be imprisoned here.

It was precisely because of that great battle that the Tian Sha Sect suffered severe casualties, with heavy losses to its high-level combat power.

The remaining remnants of the Tian Sha Sect all remembered the hatred of that year, vowing to annihilate the Tianyu Empire imperial family at all costs and exact their revenge.

It was with a heart full of hatred that Tian Sha and the other remnants of the Tian Sha Sect diligently cultivated, thinking day and night about the day they could take revenge. Tian Sha also relied on his own abilities to rise step by step to become the Sect Master of the Tian Sha Sect.

And when he saw the terrifying power of Lu Fengming, when he saw Lu Fengming, without a word, directly destroy a city of the Tianyu Empire, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of cultivators and other innocent people within Yunduan City, Tian Sha saw hope.

For the future of the Tian Sha Sect and for them to exact their revenge.

Tian Sha unhesitatingly chose to lead the Tian Sha Sect to pledge allegiance to Lu Fengming.
