Chapter 52: Outside the Demon Realm

  The gate opened, and what entered one's line of sight was a vast expanse of dark emptiness, bottomless and boundless, with an oppressive and heavy breath rushing forward.

  This feeling reminded Su Che of the entrance exam in 'Cheng Xian Hall', where he was randomly teleported to a certain place after entering, and he had subdued an extraterritorial Tianmo there, which later became one-third of Lao Hei's bloodline.

  "Come on in."

  Yu Qing led the way forward, Su Che and Ling Long closely followed behind him.

  As soon as he entered the gate, Su Che felt a dizzy feeling, similar to the dark door hole in 'Cheng Xian Hall', but this time, the dizzy feeling was several times stronger, and it was unclear whether the transmission power here was more powerful or the transmission distance was farther.

  Fortunately, the self-control ability of a cultivator far surpasses that of ordinary people. The true energy flows quietly, and even if there is some discomfort, it can maintain sufficient clarity. Soon, vision returned to normal, and feet also stepped on solid ground.

  Su Che looked around and saw that this was a desolate, dark space. The gray-black earth was barren and lifeless, with only some strange-shaped dark boulders scattered across the empty plain. The sky was also low-hanging and oppressive, as if it might fall at any moment and crush everything beneath it. When he looked up, he felt even more suffocated.

  "Is this what the end of the world looks like, where everything is destroyed?" Su Che's heart sank again as he thought about the destruction of his hometown and the downfall of Yan An Kingdom: "No matter what, after some time has passed, I'll have to go back to my old hometown to take a look. It's possible that even though it's still part of the human world, it might be even more desolate than this Sealed Demon Realm..."

  "Master, rest assured that one day Lao Hei will help you avenge your hatred and chop the creator of that whatever Dogshit Da Tianqing into pieces..."

  Lao Hei first comforted Su Che a few words, and then very cleverly shifted the topic: "Master, I think this Demon Sealing Domain is not that mysterious, it should be just inside the belly of 'Demonic Peak'."

  Su's heart moved: "You're saying that the 'Devil-Subduing Peak' outside is itself a high-level spatial treasure, it's just that its outer form has been transformed into a mountain peak?"

  "It should be like that." Old Black replied: "Just now when I hadn't entered yet, I vaguely sensed it. That Demon-Suppressing Peak should be a treasure."

  "Hmm, then it won't be wrong." Su Che thought that Lao Hei was the instrument spirit of Xianjin Black Tower itself, and his perception ability towards other magical artifacts should be extremely accurate.

  The spiritual exchange between the master and servant was as swift as lightning, they had been talking in their hearts for so long, but to the outside world it was just a blink of an eye. Only now did he hear Yu Qing's low warning: "Outside the domain, the heavenly demon is ever-changing and omnipresent, once we arrive here, we must be extremely cautious."

  Su Che and Ling Teng nodded in unison, each taking out their defensive artifacts.

  Su Che took out the Five Elements Ring, and after infusing it with true energy, the five elements spirit stones embedded on the ring were triggered simultaneously, forming a Five Elements Cycle power that automatically floated two feet above his head, allowing him to create different attribute shields at any time.

  The Linglong's protective artifact was a colored ribbon, casually draped over her shoulder and hanging in front of her body. The ribbon faintly emitted a seven-colored glow, like a beautiful ornament that made the lively girl even more stunning.

  Yu Qing was an artist with great skill and boldness, temporarily not needing to use defensive treasures, the flying sword still quietly floated beside him.

  "Look at that starlight."

  "That's not a real starlight, but the seal of the Demon God. The closer you get to it, the more powerful Tianmo you'll encounter. So, we can't get too close to it and can only practice in the outer area."

  "I understand." Su Che and Ling Teng nodded together.

  That starlight was extremely dazzling, and it was also the only source of light in the Demon Sealing Realm. Before coming here, Su Che had already learned through reading books that the Demon Sealing Realm could be divided into four regions: The outermost layer (Fourth Zone) encountered low-level heavenly demons, among which the strongest ones were equivalent to human cultivators in the later stages of Qi Refining.

  In the inner layer (third district), you can encounter Mo Tou, equivalent to a human monk who has achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

  Further in (the second district), you will encounter powerful demon generals equivalent to human cultivators at the foundation establishment stage.

  The innermost central area is said to have at least three extremely powerful demon kings, equivalent to human Golden Core cultivators. Fortunately, the demon kings here were created by the sealed great demon god and are also in a state of semi-seal, unable to leave the seal far away, and can only wander back and forth in the central area. Otherwise, even if it's Yu Qing, an inner disciple, once encountered a Demon King-level Tianmo, it would be a foregone conclusion that they would be devoured without any suspense.

  Yu Qing said: "This time's trial, I originally planned to challenge the second district's magic general, but with you all here, at most we can only penetrate into the third district."

  Su Che could hear that his tone had a hint of regret, as if bringing Ling Long to the Demon Sealing Realm was also something he did against his will...

  Linglong spoke directly and asked: "Since you have this idea, why must you bring us in? Isn't that contradictory, brother?"

  Yu Qing shook her head slightly, still unwilling to explain the reason.

  Linglong could be said to be clever and astute, based on his current expression, he immediately guessed: "Could it be that this isn't your own idea, but rather something my old man told you to do?"

  "You little devil!" Yu Qing glared at her: "This is your own guess, it has nothing to do with me."

  It goes without saying.

  "What is the old man doing?" Linglong whispered to herself, looking at Yaqing and then glancing at Suche, but still couldn't guess the answer after a long time.

  Su Che also had doubts in his heart, but on the surface he was still calm and peaceful; In the Xian prison, Lao Hei was shouting: "This place is great, I like the taste here! Hurry up and find those Tianmo devils, just by smelling them I can confirm that they will become my tonic!"

  Lao Hei's intention was clear, he planned to devour those low-level Tianmo to enhance his strength. This point, Su Che didn't find it strange at all, after all, before coming here, he had already devoured a demon soul, and later on, he might even eat humans! It's worth noting that this guy could be a composite of the three tribes of human, demon, and devil, possibly without any dietary restrictions, eating everything in sight.

  Yu Qing walked ahead, and the three of them slowly entered the fourth district on the outermost periphery of the Demon Sealing Realm. They had only gone about a hundred feet when they discovered something was amiss up front.

  Hula hula!

  A large cluster of fog suddenly surged up not far away, as if a sandstorm had swept across the ground. In the blink of an eye, this cluster of fog split open and transformed into dozens of semi-transparent gray gases that rapidly rushed towards this side.

  No need for anyone to explain, Su Che also recognized that this was a group of low-level Tianmo who had caught the scent of humans and came knocking on their own.

  "Haha, someone's here!"

  "A fresh soul and a perfect body, this time, it's going to be fun."

  "There's also a female disciple, perfect, just what I need. I love tormenting women the most! Hahaha... I'll take over her body and torment her soul, while you all torment her flesh..."

  Dozens of heavenly demons howled and bellowed, creating a chaotic and ear-piercing noise.

  "Looking for death!"

  Linglong was after all a girl, and she couldn't bear to hear their obscene language. Before those demons could get close, her small hand rose, and a dazzling silver light burst forth.

  Whoosh!

  Silver light sparkled, it was beautiful but also very dangerous. The few Tianmo at the forefront couldn't dodge in time and each got splashed with a few points of silver light. They immediately let out wails of despair, their semi-transparent illusory bodies suddenly bursting into white flames, as if oil had been poured onto fire sparks, igniting instantly.

  "Wow, hide quickly!"

  "The little girl is so fierce."

  The demons behind hastily stopped their movements and dodged the silver light spots floating in mid-air.

  "A tiny monster, all it can do is chirp." Linglong snorted coldly.

  Several Tianmo that were burned to death by her turned into several faint glows, and instantly floated into the Xuanji Jade Plate hanging on Linglong's waist, turning into a few data records of killing Tianmo. This is the subtle connection between the Demon Sealing Domain and the Tianxuan Sect disciples. Every time a Tianmo is killed, it will be recorded by the identity waist plate or the trial certificate. After going out, you can go to the 'Internal Affairs Hall' to exchange for the corresponding sect contribution value.

  Su Che had long understood that the so-called "school contribution value" was a score given by the school's management to its disciples, and the higher the score, the stronger the disciple's overall ability and loyalty to the school. Such outstanding disciples were the ones who should be nurtured as the successors of the school.

  At this moment, Lao Hei shouted loudly in the immortal prison: "What a pity! What a pity! It was destroyed by her like this. This is all my food, it's too wasteful!"

  Su Che said in his heart, "Don't be impatient, since this is the Demon Sealing Domain, what's least lacking here are heavenly demons. No matter how big your appetite is, it's still impossible to devour them all. Now, in front of Yu Qing and Ling Long, we can't make any rash moves. Let's follow them for now, get familiar with the environment, probe the depth, and when the time is right, find an opportunity to separate from those two. Only then can you satisfy your gluttony."

  "Alright, alright." Old Black nodded repeatedly: "Master, we only need to be cautious and not take risks by going deep in. If we just capture low-level heavenly demons in the fourth district, then this demon-sealing domain is simply my own private dining hall! Hahahaha..."

  Su Che smiled faintly in response to Lao Hei's ecstatic expression, but his own thoughts were far from being that optimistic.

  Is it a private dining hall? I'm afraid so, but it's unclear who will be the guest and who will end up as the fish on the chopping board.

  PS: I don't want to ask for votes, but I have to. Coffee doesn't want to keep nagging about this either, but at the new book stage, recommendation votes are too important. Especially in the past few days, the number of recommendation votes has almost stopped growing, and the click-through rate is getting more and more miserable. It's really urgent in my heart! Book friends, help me out, pull me up, Coffee bows down to thank you!
