At the Immortal-Demon border, a large number of Demon Kings and Grand Demon Kings had gathered. Under the leadership of more than ten Demon Emperors, they were preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Clan. There were tens of thousands of troops. This caused the Immortal Clan to be on high alert. The Immortal Clan had also gathered a similar number of Dao Primus and World Respects. Ten Immortal Primuses were in command. Seeing that there were only twelve Demon Emperors on the other side, these Immortal Primuses were puzzled. They wondered what the other eight Demon Emperors were doing.

Chapter 355: Demon Clan Forces

After being rescued by Wu Yu, they were all thrown into the Nine Star Sky Round space.

At the Immortal-Demon border, a large number of Demon Kings and Grand Demon Kings had gathered. Under the leadership of more than ten Demon Emperors, they were preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Immortal Clan. There were tens of thousands of troops. This caused the Immortal Clan to be on high alert. The Immortal Clan had also gathered a similar number of Dao Primus and World Respects. Ten Immortal Primuses were in command. Seeing that there were only twelve Demon Emperors on the other side, these Immortal Primuses were puzzled. They wondered what the other eight Demon Emperors were doing. Were they lying in ambush on both sides, preparing to surround them?

However, scouts from both sides reported that there were no signs of an ambush at all. On the Demon Emperor’s side, an old man held a crystal ball in his hand and silently chanted an incantation, as if he was sensing something. Not long after, this Demon Emperor revealed a look of surprise. He looked around and said, They seem to have encountered some misfortune. Their soul flames are flickering.

How is that possible? The azure-haired old man asked in surprise. Big Brother! What should we do?

The azure-haired old man looked at a man with five-colored hair on his side and asked. This man looked to be only forty or fifty years old. He was the Five-colored old man, the leader of the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends.

I think you should go and take a look! The old man on the side looked at the Immortal Clan on the opposite side and said, With our current strength, even if we attack them, we won’t gain much advantage. Even if we can’t release the Eight Qi now, we should at least gather everyone. Rescue them, and then we can make a long-term plan!

Alright! The Five-colored old man nodded and looked at the old man holding the crystal ball. It’s best if you send some of your brothers to help me. After all, the cultivation of the Ten Domains Demon Kings is higher than ours!

Water Domain, Monster Domain, Thunder Domain, the three of you go with the Five Fiends. Remember, you must rescue the Black old man and the others!

Yes, Big Brother!

... In front of Wu Yu were six weak soul flames. These soul flames were flickering like candle flames, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Wu Yu’s spiritual sense enveloped these soul flames as he pondered his strategy. These soul flames could not be extinguished for the time being. Otherwise, it would attract more Demon Emperors. By maintaining this state, the other side would only think that the Black old man and his group had encountered trouble, but were not yet dead. As long as one or two more Demon Emperors were killed, the Shadow Devil’s conspiracy this time would be foiled. It seemed that his staying in this Thousand Devil Forest was destined.

The Demon Clan originally called themselves the Hundred Emperor Hundred Heavenly Devils. In recent years, a batch of new forces have also emerged! This Ten-colored Demonic Fiend and the newly arrived Ten Domains Demon Kings are all newly emerged Demon Emperors! Wu Yu thought to himself. In his previous life, he knew that the Demon Clan had the saying of the Hundred Emperor Hundred Heavenly Devils. However, during that era, who knew how many Demon Emperors had been killed. The Hundred Heavenly Devils were, to put it bluntly, just over forty Heavenly Devil level experts. Moreover, at that time, more than thirty Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Devils had died at his hands alone.

In fact, the so-called Nine Layer Heaven was only guarded by sixteen Heavenly Devils. The rest were not without Heavenly Devils, just like the True Emperor back then. Originally, the Nine Layer Heaven had sixteen Celestial Primuses. In the past, Linghu Bai had also ascended to the Nine Heavens. His cultivation was actually enough to rival a Celestial Primus, or even surpass it. However, most of the time, these Heavenly Devils and Celestial Primus level experts were in charge of the Eighth Layer Heaven and Seventh Layer Heaven, or even the Sixth Layer Heaven. Judging from the development over the years. The strength of the Demon Clan had indeed surpassed that of the Immortal Clan. Moreover, the reason why these Ten-colored Demonic Fiends were so loyal to the Shadow Devil was actually because their cultivation had been forcibly raised by the Shadow Devil. To put it bluntly, it was similar to Wu Yu’s clone raising its strength with the help of pills.

The Ten-colored Demonic Fiends and the Ten Domains Demon Kings were all loyal servants of the Shadow Devil. Moreover, they were all from the Fourth Layer Heaven. When he captured the Blue old man and the others, Wu Yu also did some research. Originally, there were only twenty Demon Emperors on the Fourth Layer Heaven. Previously, the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends had been sent down to stabilize the Demon Clan on the Third Layer Heaven, but after being disrupted by Wu Yu, they were forced to withdraw. During the time they were gone, twenty Demon Emperors had gradually been sent down from the Fifth Layer Heaven. Therefore, all the Demon Emperors from their original Fourth Layer Heaven were sent down, firstly to stabilize the Demon Clan on the Third Layer Heaven, and secondly to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Second Layer Heaven after releasing the Eight Qi. The Second Layer Heaven had a special restriction placed by the God Primus. It had always been guarded by the God Primus. Therefore, the Demon Clan had always wanted to occupy the Second Layer Heaven, but they had never succeeded. This time, it seemed that the Shadow Devil wanted to continue with the previous plan.

In addition to the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends and the Ten Domains Demon Kings, the previous Demon Clan structure was still in place. Even if some Demon Emperors or Heavenly Devils had died in battle over the years. However, there would always be new forces to replenish them in time. For example, the Ten Heavenly Devils and the Ten Demon Generals were all Heavenly Devil experts. They had always been active on the Eighth Layer Heaven and Seventh Layer Heaven. Ten Demon Emperors, Ten Deputy Generals, Ten Perfect Demon Guards, Ten Night Demon Paths, Ten Days Demon Ancestors, Ten Generations Demon Sons, Kasaya Ten Devil Witches, Ten Demon Extreme Guards, Nine Demon Paths, Nine Demon Two Paths.

These were the ten demon forces of the Demon Clan in the past. Each demon had ten people, all of whom were experts above the Demon Emperor realm. After some Demon Emperors died in battle, new Demon Emperors would quickly be added to fill their places. However, the new Demon Emperors would no longer have their previous names, but would instead inherit the titles of the Demon Emperors who had died in battle. Therefore, the names of these ten demon forces had almost never changed. For example, the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends, although they were a new force. They were all experts above the first level of the Demon Emperor realm. Their titles were: Gold old man, White old man, Black old man, Red old man, Yellow old man, Green old man, Blue old man, Azure old man, Purple old man, Five-colored old man. The Five-colored old man was the leader of these people. Their cultivation was generally between the third and fifth levels of the Demon Emperor realm. Even if these people died in battle, there would be people to replenish them, becoming the new Ten-colored Demonic Fiends. After all, they were a new force, and were considered the weakest group among the entire ten demon forces.

Next came another group of Demon Emperors, the Ten Domains Demon Kings. This was also a new force. However, they were established earlier than the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends. Their titles were: Ghost Domain, Heaven Domain, Human Domain, God Domain, Dao Domain, Wind Domain, Fire Domain, Thunder Domain, Monster Domain, Water Domain. Among them, Ghost Domain was the leader. The overall cultivation of these people was higher than that of the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends.

Then came the Ten Demon Emperors. This was the third most powerful Demon Emperor team in the Demon Clan. In his previous life, Wu Yu had come into contact with them before, and had even killed one of them. Therefore, Wu Yu knew their titles: East, South, North, West, Upper, Lower, Heaven, Earth, God, Demon. Among them, Demon was the leader.

The Ten Deputy Generals were usually above the Sixth Layer Heaven, following the Ten Demon Generals. Their titles were: Nether Replenisher, Spirit Replenisher, Heaven Replenisher, Earth Replenisher, God Replenisher, Demon Replenisher, Human Replenisher, Ghost Replenisher, Void Replenisher, Dao Replenisher. Among them, Dao Replenisher was the leader.

Chapter 356: The Power of the Demon Clan

Ten Perfect Demon Guards, a group of Demon Guards with special abilities. In his previous life, Wu Yu had never encountered this group. He had only heard that their titles were: Nether Perfection, Spirit Perfection, Heaven Perfection, Earth Perfection, God Perfection, Demon Perfection, Human Perfection, Ghost Perfection, Dao Perfection, and Ten Perfection. Among them, Ten Perfection was the leader.

Ten Night Demon Paths, with the titles: Silent Night, Snowy Night, Bloody Night, Seventh Night, Dark Night, Sealing Night, Striped Forest, Slay Moon, Black Demon, and Tenth Night. Tenth Night was the leader.

Ten Heaven Demon Ancestors, with the titles: Dao Ancestor Nether Demon, Dao Ancestor God Demon, Dao Ancestor Ghost Demon, Dao Ancestor Human Demon, Dao Ancestor Monster Demon, Demon Clan Nether Spirit, Demon Ancestor God Spirit, Demon Ancestor Ghost Spirit, Demon Ancestor Human Emperor, and Demon Ancestor Tenth Heaven.

Ten Generations Demon Sons, with the titles: First Generation Human, Second Generation Emperor, Third Generation Immortal, Fourth Generation Venerable, Fifth Generation Saint, Sixth Generation Demon, Seventh Generation Grudge, Eighth Generation Heaven Ghost, Ninth Generation God Demon, and Tenth Generation Demon King. This was a group of special Demon Sons. It was said that they were all young and new forces, and they were all new people with heaven-defying cultivation. Therefore, they were also called Demon Sons.

Kasaya Ten Devil Witches, all of them were women. However, their cultivation was also above the Demon Emperor realm, and they were all ruthless characters. Among them, Kasaya Delan and Kasaya Lotus had been killed by Wu Yu in his previous life. It was estimated that there were also new members joining. Their titles were: Kasaya Nether Lotus, Kasaya Tang Flower, Kasaya Lin Fang, Kasaya Yi Cai, Kasaya Rakshasa, Kasaya Yaksha, Kasaya Black Widow, Kasaya Delan, Kasaya Lotus, and Kasaya Holy Maiden.

Ten Demon Extreme Guards, with the titles: Heaven Demon Extreme One Guard, Heaven Demon Extreme Two Guard, Heaven Demon Extreme Three Guard, Heaven Demon Extreme Four Guard, Heaven Demon Extreme Five Guard, God Demon Extreme One Guard, God Demon Extreme Two Guard, God Demon Extreme Three Guard, God Demon Extreme Four Guard, and God Demon Extreme Five Guard. These were all the guards of the Ten Heavenly Devils, and they were also formed by the disciples of the Ten Heavenly Devils.

Nine Demon Paths, with the titles: Earth Demon Azure, Earth Demon Tiger, Earth Demon Spirit, Earth Demon Wound, Earth Demon Brave, Earth Demon White, Earth Demon Blue, Earth Demon Dragon, Earth Demon Leopard, and Earth Demon Celestial Primus.

Nine Demon Second Path, with the titles: Heaven Demon Azure, Heaven Demon Tiger, Heaven Demon Spirit, Heaven Demon Wound, Heaven Demon Brave, Heaven Demon White, Heaven Demon Blue, Heaven Demon Dragon, Heaven Demon Leopard, and Heaven Demon Celestial Primus.

Both Nine Demon First Path and Nine Demon Second Path are presided over by a Heaven Demon, generally active around the Ten Heavenly Devils and the Ten Demon Generals. Wu Yu had eliminated the most members of both Nine Demon First Path and Nine Demon Second Path in the past, suggesting that new forces must have joined them since then. Regardless, after so many years of battle, the Demon Clan has not only maintained its vitality but has also grown stronger, indeed surpassing the Immortal Clan by a significant margin. This time, along with the domains of Thunder, Monster, and Water, the Azure old man and the Five-colored old man came in search of the Black old man and his group, exercising utmost caution. The Black old man’s group hadn’t sent back any useful information, leading them to speculate that Eight Qi might have interfered. Eight Qi, a bloodthirsty monster, doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe, attacking anything it can consume. However, Eight Qi’s preferred prey is the Immortal Clan, harboring deep hatred towards them because it was the God Primus who had sealed it originally.

They hoped to rely on Eight Qi to defeat the Immortal Clan, doubting their current strength was sufficient to breach the Immortal Clan in the Third Layer Heaven. Since the Black old man’s group had already ventured into the Thousand Demon Forest, there was no turning back. They had to persuade Eight Qi to assist them. The Inscription and Talisman were still in the hands of the Gold old man. They now needed to find not only the Inscription and Talisman but also the Gold old man’s corpse. They believed that perhaps the method used by the Gold old man’s group was wrong, possibly provoking Eight Qi. Therefore, along the way, the domain of Thunder constantly criticized the Five-colored old man. The Five-colored old man frowned deeply, quite displeased. However, since the domains of Thunder, Monster, and Water held higher status than the Ten-colored Demonic Fiends, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

At this time, Wu Yu sat atop the once writhing Rock Mountain, where Eight Qi beneath had already been mobile. It was later sealed again by the Demon Primus and the God Primus. Still, he could sense the bloody aura below with his eyes closed. Wu Yu tried to communicate with his divine sense. However, Eight Qi seemed to be in a deep slumber, showing no response. Meanwhile, at the outskirts of the forest, news came that five Demon Emperors had arrived. These individuals were extremely cautious, even concealing the aura of the Demon Emperors. Every few steps, the domain of Thunder would stop and draw a Talisman behind him. This was his special skill, Inscription and Talisman, primarily based on lightning attributes. Although its lethality was limited, it could defend against some attacks from behind, giving them enough time to respond to special circumstances. Just as Wu Yu was about to take action, he suddenly received a response from Eight Qi in his mind.

What do you seek from me? The divine sense from Eight Qi came weakly, seemingly very frail. Wu Yu knew that this was just an act. Despite being a beast, Eight Qi had likely lived for tens of thousands of years. Such a being was nearly as eternal as the heavens. Its display of weakness was merely an attempt to elicit sympathy.

I didn’t expect you to still be alive! Wu Yu communicated.

Nonsense! The only thing in the world that could destroy me is the source of chaos. These seals can only restrain me temporarily, not forever! What exactly do you want from me? Eight Qi asked.

Heh, since you’re so formidable, I’ll visit another day then! Wu Yu said, preparing to leave. Eight Qi quickly responded: Wait, Sovereign! Ah... No! I am indeed very weak now, hardly able to hold on. I hope you, young hero, can release me!

Heh, freeing you would take a considerable amount of time, and currently, I don’t have the luxury to spare you the time. As you’ve seen, many powerful individuals have arrived outside; I must deal with them first! Wu Yu said.

Then make it quick and come back! Eight Qi responded.

That’s not certain! I possess a Talisman for unsealing given to me by the Demon Primus, but activating it will take some time. The people who have arrived are here to prevent me from releasing you, and I’m not entirely confident I can defeat them! Perhaps, I might even die by their hands today! Wu Yu spoke, his heart filled with irony...

Are you serious? Eight Qi asked.

Alas! Wu Yu sighed: Look, this is the Talisman for unsealing! Saying so, he lifted a Talisman that radiated golden light. Eight Qi fell silent for a moment before speaking: You can confidently activate the Talisman, no matter how long it takes, I will help you stop them!

How can you stop them while you are sealed? Wu Yu asked.

Hmph! Eight Qi retorted: If need be, I’ll sacrifice my white lifespan, using my power of reincarnation, I’ll trade one of their lives for one of mine!

Indeed, Eight Qi possessed such capability. His mastery over the Dao of Reincarnation was at its pinnacle, which is how he had accumulated so many lifespans. In past battles, whenever faced with danger, Eight Qi would activate his power of reincarnation, trading one of his lives for an enemy’s life. In more extreme cases, spending hundreds of lives was considered normal. After all, his life was his greatest reliance and his proudest means of attack!

Chapter 357: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it to you. I’m going to activate the unsealing Talisman now. However, Lord Eight Qi, you must not kill them. I intend to interrogate them about how many more are yet to come, so we can be fully prepared! Wu Yu communicated.

Agreed! Eight Qi said and then fell silent, though he began to take action. The seal could suppress Eight Qi’s true form and a portion of his Dao power, but the remaining Dao power was still sufficient for Eight Qi’s use. Despite the significant reinforcement of the seals by the God Primus and the Demon Primus, Eight Qi still had the ability to make a certain area within the Thousand Demon Forest revert to the state it was under his control. However, this was limited only to a small segment of the forest, and frequent use was purely a waste of strength. So, it could be said that the restoration of the Thousand Demon Forest to normality was less the work of the God and Demon Primuses and more of Eight Qi voluntarily refraining from exerting his limited power. Eight Qi’s life, to put it plainly, is the power of Dao, akin to the Nether Ghosts produced by Inscriptions. Eight Qi, deriving from the power of reincarnation, is the master of this power. Wu Yu is exploiting Eight Qi, and it’s impossible for him to release Eight Qi. However, he can use Eight Qi to eliminate the group led by the Azure old man.

Having been confined for a long time, Eight Qi’s greatest desire is to break the seal and leave this place. Naturally, he wouldn’t give up on someone willing to release him. Thus, Eight Qi took on the task of dealing with the group led by the Azure old man. Unbeknownst to them, they, who had genuinely come to release Eight Qi, had become Eight Qi’s targets. Their cultivation was not low; being above the Second Layer Heaven among the Demon Emperors, they were considered significant figures in the Nine Heavens. Yet today, they were utterly powerless against Eight Qi’s assault. Eight Qi’s Dao power spread out, covering a hundred miles. All the trees and rocks in this area showed signs of revival. This is Eight Qi’s capability; when used correctly, his power can bless all under heaven. However, being a mythical beast and a rebel of the reincarnation power, it prefers turning the inanimate into animate and vice versa. This terrifying ability is also his greatest reliance. He wasn’t afraid of Wu Yu deceiving him because, if Wu Yu did, he could easily kill him.

This, Wu Yu had naturally considered...

Daring to manipulate Eight Qi, he was not afraid of Eight Qi retaliating against him. A golden Talisman hovered in the air, and Wu Yu pretended to activate the Talisman, sending a golden light soaring into the sky. The group led by the Five-colored old man noticed the situation here immediately and excitedly said: Could it be that the Black old man and his team have succeeded?

Ha ha ha... The Five-colored old man said excitedly: Let’s move faster!

They were very excited, completely unaware of their surroundings. It wasn’t until they had traveled nearly ten kilometers that the Azure old man realized something was wrong when he felt an itch on his skin. Taking a closer look, his face showed shock as he said, What’s happening to my skin? How come... The Azure old man felt weakened even speaking: I feel very sleepy?

The others looked towards the Azure old man, only to discover that he was rapidly aging. The same was happening to the others. The Five-colored old man was shocked and said: Quick, let’s get out of the Thousand Demon Forest!

However, his warning came too late. In the next moment, the forest around them was densely enveloped by trees. And dozens of magma giants stood upright, not giving them any chance to think before launching their attack.

Roar... Several demon emperors attacked with great force, counterattacking. The Five-colored old man sent a voice transmission to Wu Yu’s side: I’m the Five-colored old man! Quickly order Eight Qi to stop!

Wu Yu smiled, ignoring the Five-colored old man and his group. The five pitiful demon emperors were not able to hold on for long before being tied up by tree vines. Next, Demon Five appeared and administered Disperse Spirit Pills to these demon emperors and tossed them into the Nine Star Sky Round.

Wu Yu continued to pretend to activate the Talisman. Eight Qi’s voice transmitted over: I have already dealt with the problem for you. You can rest assured!

Thank you, Lord Eight Qi. Wu Yu replied. However, there are still many of them outside. Lord Eight Qi will still need to put in extra effort!

How many are there in the end? Eight Qi said a little impatiently. I’ve already used up a lot of my strength killing these few. Forcibly making them reincarnate consumes a lot of energy. After I go out, I’ll need to consume the blood essence of at least a million people to recover. Didn’t your Demon Monarchs bring me any food when they came?

Wu Yu smiled wickedly and said, The Demon Monarchs are trying to revive another mythical beast. They have no time to spare for this place. Otherwise, they would not have sent me here!

Another mythical beast? Eight Qi’s voice was no longer harsh; it seemed to be curious. Which one?

The Seven-Headed Jiao Dragon of the Seven Immortal Mountains, the Six-Tailed Blood Ape of the Fourth Layer Heaven Demon Clan’s territory, the Five-clawed Green Dragon of the Immortal Clan’s territory, the Four-Headed Qilin of the Fifth Layer Heaven Demon Clan’s territory, the Three-eyed Golden Phoenix of the Fifth Layer Heaven Immortal Clan’s territory, the Ni Mi Swallow Heavenly Beast of the Sixth Layer Heaven Demon Clan’s territory, and the Doomsday Mojitian of the Sixth Layer Heaven Immortal Clan’s territory. Wu Yu replied.

When did such beings appear? How come I don’t know? Eight Qi seemed to be inquiring. Not knowing the strength of these mythical beasts, it did not dare to make any ruthless remarks.

They appeared millions of years after you. You have been sealed here for tens of millions of years. They were all sealed later! Wu Yu said.

Was it all done by the God Primus? When Eight Qi mentioned this title, its voice carried deep hatred.

Not entirely. Several generations of Demon Monarchs also played a significant role in sealing half of the mythical beasts. Wu Yu replied.

Are they very powerful? Eight Qi asked.

Not very powerful. They’re far inferior to you, Lord Eight Qi! Wu Yu flattered.

Really? Eight Qi seemed very pleased. Then catch one for me to eat, and this Venerable One will be able to recover to my peak state! Or, catch a God Primus for me to eat...

Wu Yu felt embarrassed and said, Lord Eight Qi, I’m still very weak. I don’t have the ability to catch them at all!

That’s right! Only now did Eight Qi realize this. Then quickly release me. I’m going to have a good meal. All these years, I’ve only been eating those smelly and tough creatures. I miss those immortal babies the God Primus kept for me!

I’m working on it. It will still take some time... Wu Yu said...

Gui Yu looked at the crystal ball in shock. The soul lights of Shui Yu and his companions had been very bright before, but they were all extinguished in the blink of an eye. Gui Yu said anxiously to Luo Yun: You watch over this place first. Don’t act rashly if we don’t return!

Chapter 358 Zhantai Yunfeng’s History

Luo Yun nodded, watched as several demon emperors left in a hurry, and curled his lips. What demon emperors? They’re nothing but trash. They can’t even accomplish a trivial task in such a long time!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Mo San secretly observed and sent a message to Wu Yu’s side after a long time.

Another seven have come... Wu Yu nodded and thought, It seems like they’re all here. Once they die, there shouldn’t be any trouble for a short period of time!

After that, Wu Yu tried to summon Eight Qi again. Eight Qi said very irritably, This Venerable One has already used up a lot of energy and is recovering. Why won’t you let this Venerable One rest? From Eight Qi’s voice, it seemed to be somewhat tired. This was exactly the result Wu Yu wanted...

... Seeing this, Wu Yu put on an aggrieved expression and said, It’s not like I’m making things difficult for Lord Eight Qi. How about this? Why don’t you rest first? I’ll go and take care of them for you and then release you!

No! Eight Qi hurriedly stopped him. Although I have used up a lot of energy, I can still take care of them. You continue. Escaping from this ghost of a place was its greatest wish. Now that it knew it was about to be released, time seemed to pass extremely slowly. How could it possibly let the person who was releasing it stop activating the Talisman now? Although it was a little tired, compared to being released, nothing else mattered...

... Wu Yu felt like laughing. He took out the Nine Star Sky Round from his arms and placed it on the top of the mountain. Then, he continued to pretend. The power of the Nine Star Sky Round spread out instantly. Wu Yu guided this power to gradually envelop the entire mountain. In this dim forest, such power appeared, but Eight Qi did not notice it. Although it was a mythical beast, it did not know what this thing was. Furthermore, its attention was not focused here. In its opinion, no one would be bold enough to come and try to control it. Eight Qi’s heart had already begun to imagine its wonderful life after it was released!

Although these Rock Mountains looked like rocks, Wu Yu noticed in the next moment that all the black mist that had spread out was actually being absorbed into the cracks of the rocks. Wu Yu was very excited. He had guessed, but he did not know if the power of the Nine Star Sky Round was truly effective.

At Gui Yu’s side, he brought the remaining seven Ten-Region Demon Monarchs to the edge of the forest. He did not go any deeper but instead drew special Inscriptions and activated his crystal ball. The crystal ball released a layer of transparent rings that enveloped all seven of them. Only then did they carefully walk inside. After passing a certain area, Gui Yu stopped, squatted down, and studied it for a long time. Then, he said to the others, There are Inscriptions drawn by Lei Yu here. These Inscriptions are still intact. It seems that the attack on Lei Yu did not come from behind.

Big Brother, look, there’s a golden light over there! At this moment, Shen Yu pointed at the glowing mountain in the distance.

... The others looked over in confusion.

Could it be that Old Black and the others are activating the Talisman?

Mm, it’s possible. Their soul lights are still burning now. Although they are weak, they still exist, Gui Yu said.

But if that’s the case, who did Lei Yu and the others die at the hands of?

Could it be... Eight Qi’s doing? Tian Yu analyzed. It’s possible that the ‘food’ we brought was not enough, and Eight Qi needed more power!

Then... should we continue to go in?

We have to try. At least we have to prove that Old Black and the others are resurrecting Eight Qi. The rest will be easy. We just have to stall for time. Once Eight Qi is resurrected, everything will be half successful! Gui Yu said. Let’s go. Everyone, be careful of your surroundings. We don’t have any useful information about Eight Qi. Be careful of its sudden attack!

... Wu Yu found this very funny. These guys are just decorations. They don’t have any experience at all. They can’t even sense danger. They still want to come here. They’re right in the trap.

After Gui Yu and his group got closer, they also stepped into Eight Qi’s trap step by step. Eight Qi did not need to move much to kill. It only needed to activate the Reincarnation Path Power to absorb the other party’s blood energy into the Reincarnation. If they had high cultivation and rich combat experience, they might be able to discover the strangeness quickly. However, Gui Yu and his group did not have much combat experience. After being attracted by the golden light on the mountaintop, they only realized something was wrong later on. In the end, they were also captured alive and became Wu Yu’s prey. In this way, Wu Yu relied on Eight Qi’s power to easily kill the Ten-Region Demon Monarchs.

On the Demon Clan’s side, after the Ten-Region Demon Monarchs left, the highest cultivation level was only some Great Perfection Grand Demon Monarchs. Looking at the dozens of Immortal Emperors guarding the Immortal Clan, the Demon Clan was a little terrified. However, the Immortal Clan did not make a move for a long time. They really did not know what the Demon Clan was up to. Why had all the Demon Monarchs left? Had they gone somewhere to prepare for a deadly blow? Therefore, the Immortal Clan was also very nervous. The tense state continued for two days. Finally, the Demon Clan actually retreated again. This made the Immortal Clan members look at each other in astonishment. Some of them started to jump and curse, F*ck! Did you come out here to play?

That’s right. You made me nervous for days!

I even wrote my will!

Damn it! What’s wrong with the Demon Clan?

... The Immortal Clan’s upper echelons were also very puzzled. They had been waiting for news from their spies on the Demon Clan’s side.

On Dan Forest’s side, the Sixth Clone was seriously refining pills. This was already the tenth day. Zhantai Yunfeng had come several times. They only knew that Wu Yu was refining a heaven-defying pill, and it was for Zhantai Yunfeng. Zhantai Yunfeng was very proud. He had been putting on a lot of airs in the family these days. He was a strange person of this generation. Of course, it was not because of his extraordinary talent but because of his own problems. Zhantai Yunfeng was a year younger than Zhantai Xian’er. It was said that when he was born, his cultivation level was already at the ninth level of the Leap Immortal Realm. He was hailed as the family’s unparalleled genius. At that time, Zhantai Yunfeng had always been the pride of the Zhantai Family and was even given the title of Peerless Emperor.

However, as time passed, Zhantai Yunfeng’s cultivation progress was extremely slow. More than 30 years had passed. To Immortals, this period of time could only be considered as childhood. Even so, Zhantai Yunfeng had only advanced three levels. This situation was indeed very special. The family no longer regarded Zhantai Yunfeng as the most promising one. Instead, they placed Zhantai Yunfeng in the ranks of the useless. In the end, he took over his father’s auction house and entered the Zhantai Family’s business path.

After encountering setbacks on the path of cultivation, he actually displayed an astonishing talent in business...

Chapter 359: Deserved

Under Zhantai Yunfeng’s management, the Zhantai Family’s auction house became an auction house that was as famous as the Demon Clan’s Han Clan auction house. The Immortal Clan was not like the Demon Clan. In the Demon Realm, business was almost completely unified. For leading industries such as auction houses, there could only be one, and it could only be managed by one family. However, the Immortal Clan had competition between different forces. Back then, there were more than 10 auction houses in the Immortal Clan. Over the years, those auction houses had been acquired by the Zhantai Family one by one, becoming the Zhantai Family’s businesses.

This was Zhantai Yunfeng. A son of heaven had actually taken the path of business. It was a cruel twist of fate! Although he had some achievements in business, cultivation had always been Zhantai Yunfeng’s greatest regret. Zhantai Yunfeng felt like he had been cursed. No matter how hard he worked, his cultivation level never improved. Now, he had finally met an Alchemist like Wu Yu, who was willing to refine this kind of pill that could increase his cultivation. Although he had heard of such pills, he had never seen them before. This kind of pill that was useful to him was usually very expensive, and no Alchemist in the Third Layer Heaven or the Fourth Layer Heaven could refine it. It was said that only Alchemists with a cultivation level of Grade 7 and above could refine pills that could increase the strength of a Dao Primus. Grade 6 Alchemists could only refine pills like the Dao Robbery Pill. The cost was also very expensive, and the effect on him was minimal.

In fact, She Li had given him two pills that could help his cultivation before. However, those pills had been taken away by the family. The Pseudo Nine Stripes Divine Pill that Zhantai Yunfeng had bought was bought with the family’s money. He was only asked to keep it for them. Therefore, those two pills had also become the family’s property. The family had argued about these two pills several times. Zhantai Mu and Zhantai Feng both hoped that Zhantai Yunfeng could use one of them, but the other old antiques in the family refused, afraid that Zhantai Yunfeng would waste the pills. It also showed that Zhantai Yunfeng’s status in the family. At most, he was a business talent, and his cultivation was still titled as a waste.

Early this morning, a beam of light shot up into the sky, and the pill flew into the air. Wu Yu had finally successfully refined the Stairway Pill. He had heard that this was the third time such a strange phenomenon had appeared today. Zhantai Yunfeng was very excited. As soon as Wu Yu opened his eyes, he came over to Wu Yu.

With this, he might even surpass She Li!

How should I take these pills? Zhantai Yunfeng excitedly asked.

First, take the Meridians Divine Pill. It will expand your meridians anew, which might be very painful, so prepare yourself mentally. After the effects of the Meridians Divine Pill wear off, take the Bone and Muscle Regeneration Pill. This will temper your flesh to ensure it’s not destroyed by the subsequent Dao Robbery Pill. This won’t be pleasant either. It’s best to do this in a place rich with immortal energy. As for the final Stairway Pill, return here, and I will assist you in absorbing all the pills’ energies! Wu Yu said.
