Chapter 658: 349: Divine Artifacts Finally Assembled
A middle-aged man with a serious expression looked at several people, seeking confirmation.
In front of him were a total of eight people, five men and three women. If any other players were there, they would definitely recognize that all eight were among the top twenty players in Hua Country, and some were even ranked in the top ten.
The group exchanged glances, and none of them showed any intention of withdrawing.
Seeing their determination, the middle-aged man was very satisfied: “Good, as long as you can bring back a drop of Demon Saint Essence Blood this time, you are all qualified to choose an ancient scripture from the Great Yu Dynasty’s Treasure Vault for enlightenment, and you will be allowed to select a treasure.”
“Additionally, the one who ultimately brings back the essence blood will be rewarded with an extra Divine Ability Seed.”
“Even if you fail to obtain the Demon Saint Essence Blood and only manage to secure the Emperor-level Demon Beast Essence Blood, you will still receive a Technique Seed as a reward. Even if you fail and don’t obtain anything, the Great Yu Dynasty will still compensate you.”
Despite already knowing the rewards for the task, they couldn’t help but breathe heavily upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words.
Given their current status, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to obtain an ancient scripture, but those were ordinary ancient scriptures that would suffice for ordinary players but far from enough for these so-called Great God players.
The task at present was an opportunity for them, and the ancient scriptures the Great Yu Dynasty has in store must be extraordinary, even by Ancient Times’ standards.
Also, besides the rewards given by the Great Yu Dynasty, the mission itself offered many benefits.
As long as they successfully reached the destination, they would have the opportunity to obtain Ancient Demon Essence Blood. Even if they couldn’t obtain Saint-level or Emperor-level Ancient Demon Blood Essence, securing King-level or Xuan-level Ancient Demon Blood would make the trip worthwhile.
“You don’t need to worry, our Great Yu Dynasty has spent a fortune on this mission. As long as you act according to the plan, you can enter the Demon Clan Ancestral Land. With the help of several items, your chances of success are very high.”
Upon hearing this, the group felt less worried, having thought of the same thing earlier.
For this action, the Great Yu Dynasty not only used divine artifacts but also brought out many treasures that had been handed down from ancient times, including some that could change their appearance and breath, and others that could teleport thousands of miles instantly.
Some treasures could even withstand an emperor-level powerhouse’s strike or launch an attack on the same level. They had treasures suited for hiding, escape, and battle, covering all possible aspects they might need.
With the cooperation of those treasures, as long as the plan was well-executed, they would even have the confidence to kill an emperor-level powerhouse!
After leaving, the group stealthily entered the continuous mountain range.
Watching the direction they left, a hopeful glint appeared in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
“Demon Saint Essence Blood, I fear that’s the only place in Dongchen State where it can be found. This is our only chance, and I hope these little guys can truly bring it back.”
Breaking into the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and stealing from there was an extremely daring and crazy move.
If this plan had been made before the emergence of players, it would have been impossible to achieve. However, the appearance of players gave the Great Yu Dynasty hope.
Players are immortal, possess Personal Space that isolates everything, and can Quit the Game to avoid danger. These abilities combined create the possibility of a miracle.
Moreover, with various means prepared by the Great Yu Dynasty, as long as they were careful, success was possible.
…
Upon entering the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, Su Nan naturally wouldn’t proceed in human form. He activated the Life Wheel Scripture, used the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations, and transformed himself into a wolfman.
To gain eligibility for the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, the Great Princess had to return to the Skywolf Clan and participate in the clan’s internal selection.
Of course, it was merely a formality called a selection.
According to the information Su Nan had received earlier, races with an Emperor-level Great Demon were entitled to three spots in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, and the Skywolf Clan, possessing an emperor-level powerhouse, naturally had three spots as well.
Moreover, as it happened, there were three talented geniuses in the Skywolf Clan’s current generation, and the spots had been reserved for them.
“Perhaps it’s due to the restoration of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality that many gifted individuals have emerged among our demon clan in recent years. Some are even born with awakened bloodline talents, which makes breaking into the top ten in this Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony difficult.”
“Born with awakened bloodline talents? Doesn’t that mean they possess bloodlines comparable to those of ancient fiends?” Su Nan asked in surprise.
Without Heavenly and Earthly vitality, humans couldn’t cultivate their ancient scriptures, and the demon clan’s bloodline would degenerate. Under such circumstances, the birth of someone with awakened bloodline talents since infancy demonstrated how terrifying their potential was.
“If they are all of this caliber, I might struggle to break into the top twenty!”
A sense of urgency rose in his heart. With his current strength, Su Nan could handle a mid-stage King-level opponent, but he would have difficulties against Late King Rank opponents, let alone Peak King-level ones.
Moreover, during the upcoming battle, many Demon Kings and Demonic Emperors would be watching, and Su Nan wouldn’t be able to use his physique series and law-controlling class powers freely, further limiting his strength.
“It seems I need to reach the King level as soon as possible.”
The Great Princess harnessed the Power of Heaven and Earth, carrying Su Nan through the air.
Mountains passed beneath their feet as they soared, the King-level aura unrestrained.
If a human King-level powerhouse were to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge in such an ostentatious manner, they probably wouldn’t even know how they died. However, as a Skywolf Clan genius, the Great Princess encountered no obstructions from any demons along the way.
