Chapter 671 - 672: 355: Turning the Tables_2
With that, he jumped straight down from the arena and left.
Now, as if to confirm his guess, the burly Wolf Demon said proudly, “I told you, he must have used some underhanded means that can’t be seen.”
…
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Defeat a Skywolf Clan Demon King”, 45 Demon Power Points have been granted.]
[Current Usable Demon Power: 265 Points]
Returning to the cave and looking at the prompt in front of him, Su Nan’s mouth curved into a smile.
An hour ago, after the great perfection of the four bloodlines, he still had 160 Demon Power Points left.
Now, an hour has passed, and his Demon Power has increased by one hundred points, which is naturally contributed by Avatar Wang Nan.
An hour passed, and Wang Nan had already arrived at the so-called Netherworld River.
During this time, although he hadn’t encountered any King-level Demonic Beasts, he had encountered quite a few Xuan-level Demonic Beasts and casually killed two Xuan-level Demons, completing both Wang Nan’s and Zhang Yang’s daily tasks.
With only a 55-point difference from the 320 Demon Power Points required for the breakthrough to the King-level, if he could encounter a Demon King, he could attempt to break through the King-level today.
“The Netherworld River has existed for countless years since ancient times, rumored to be related to an unparalleled powerhouse. After the ancient times, the world was divided into twelve sections, as was the river, breaking into twelve segments.”
“This river is very strange, as one would be affected mentally once approaching, and involuntarily enter the river. Once in the water, the Divine Soul will be eroded by the water, eventually becoming a walking dead body, staying in the water forever.”
Standing beside Wang Nan, Luo Yu looked into the distance, faintly seeing that thousands of meters away, the continuous mountains originally covered by dense vegetation were suddenly split by a yellow line, extremely eye-catching.
The river was long, winding and twisting, with no end in sight.
“Start the foreknowledge.”
Foreknowledge began.
Unexpectedly, this time it consumed thirty foreknowledge opportunities, enough for him to foresee the events a day and a half later.
[You come to the vicinity of the Netherworld River, intending to approach the Netherworld River to search for suppressed Demon Beasts and Soul Attraction Grass.]
[The water of the Netherworld River has the power to influence the mind, but fortunately, your Divine Soul is strong and is not affected by the water’s power. When you arrive at the riverside, you see that the riverbed on both sides of the river is covered with sand and gravel, and there is not a single blade of grass within ten meters of the river.]
[Under the water are countless skeletons and soulless demons floating in the water. You try to enter the water but find that your Divine Soul is gradually being dissolved in the water the moment you contact it.]
[You realize that even you cannot enter the water.]
“Dissolving the Divine Soul, this is gonna be difficult.”
At the Skywolf Clan, Su Nan was constantly paying attention to the changes of his avatar, watching the information on the panel, and couldn’t help but sigh.
If the Second Divine Soul had not merged with the avatar before, he could have controlled the avatar remotely through the connection of the Techniques and let the avatar enter the water.
Now that the Second Divine Soul has merged with the avatar, it is no longer easy to separate the Second Divine Soul from the avatar. Once the avatar enters the water, his Second Divine Soul will be lost as well.
[You and Luo Yu walk upstream along the Netherworld River, trying to find the escaped Demonic Qi.]
[An hour later, you both walk dozens of miles along the riverbed without finding anything. Along the way, several soulless Demons jump out from the water and attack you, only to be killed by you.]
[Five hours later, after passing a bend, your Qi Luck plays a role, and you suddenly discover that under an inconspicuous stone by the riverbed, a different color is faintly visible.]
[You dig out the stone, and a grey-stemmed and leafy little grass catches your eye. Congratulations, you have found a Soul Attraction Grass.]
“Soul Attraction Grass!”
Su Nan’s eyes brightened, he didn’t find the sealed Demon Beast, but he found the Soul Attraction Grass first, not a wasted trip after all.
[Eight hours later, you arrive at the end of Netherworld River. Under the influence of Qi Luck, you find another Soul Attraction Grass, but still can’t detect any demonic presence.]
[Unable to find a trace of demonic energy, you decide to try another location, Mountain Deity Slope, a hundred miles away.]
[After twenty-four hours, you arrive at Mountain Deity Slope, an abandoned hill with a stone temple on it.]
[As soon as you approach Mountain Deity Slope, a demon at the peak King-level attacks you. It has heavy Demonic Qi surrounding it.]
[You realize that the demon has been corrupted by Demonic Qi, and it’s highly likely that a demon beast subdued by it resides in Mountain Deity Slope.]
[The demon isn’t a match for you and your allies, and after defeating it, you notice that the closer you get to the Stone Temple, the stronger the Demonic Qi. This convinces you that a demon is restrained beneath the temple.]
[Entering the Stone Temple, you discover a peculiar-looking divine statue. The moment you lay eyes on it, the statue comes to life and transforms into a three-eyed, two-mouthed beast.]
[You recognize it as an Offering God Demon, but this one is very unusual as it is wrapped in heavy Demonic Qi.]
“An Offering God Demon! I can’t believe I found one here!”
“Is it possible that the Offering God Demon has also been corrupted by Demonic Qi?”
Su Nan is surprised, as he didn’t expect Mountain Deity Slope to be related to the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path.
It’s not his fault, as he might have related it to the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path in places other than Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, where it’s demon territory, and the existence of a legacy of the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path was beyond his wildest imagination.
However, what comes next in the foreknowledge information shocks him even more.
[Joining forces with Luo Yu, you try to kill the Offering God Demon, but during the battle, you find that this demon is incredibly strange. Although it emits a King-level aura, it can exert Emperor-level strength.]
[The Demonic Qi around it makes you suspect that it has been possessed by a demon beast.]
[Despite possessing the Demon Sword, you and your allies are no match for the Offering God Demon. In a critical moment, you cast Universe in the Sleeve, trapping the whole Mountain Deity Slope along with the Stone Temple and Offering God Demon inside the sleeve space before returning to the Skywolf Clan.]
“Could it be that the Offering God Demon was possessed by a demonic beast?”
Su Nan frowns, as this was truly unexpected.
Offering God Demons, strange by nature, are formed by Spirit of Divine Dao masses of Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path martial artists. Essentially, they are a peculiar existence separated from martial artists and influenced by negative emotions.
From the side of wickedness, the Offering God Demon, corroded by countless negative emotions, may even surpass demon beasts.
He never thought that such a being could be possessed by a demon.
[One day later, after returning to the Skywolf Clan, you know that with your current strength, you still can’t kill the Offering God Demon, so you adjust your condition to the peak and prepare to raise Lang Thirteen’s realm to King-level.]
[After a day and a half, you begin attempting a breakthrough. Under your control, the four bloodlines within Lang Thirteen start to clash.]
[Because the Black Scale Bloodline greatly surpasses the other three bloodlines, the other three have no choice but to join forces against it. However, the Black Scale Bloodline is too powerful for them to withstand.]
[One minute later, the Black Scale Bloodline gains the upper hand, constantly draining the strength of the other three bloodlines.]
[Two minutes later, the other three bloodlines have depleted over half of their strength and can no longer resist the Black Scale Bloodline, allowing it to devour them one by one.]
[Three minutes later, after the Black Scale Bloodline devours the last bloodline, the four Xuan-level bloodlines completely merge into one, greatly increasing the Black Scale Bloodline’s power and making it a King Level Bloodline.]
[However, once the Black Scale Bloodline becomes a King Level Bloodline, you suddenly realize that it’s not under your control at all. You try to circulate the Demon Sutra but are amazed to discover that a consciousness is born within the Black Scale Bloodline.]
[Before you can react, the Black Scale Bloodline suddenly turns against you.]
[You can’t react quickly enough, and you die.]
“Turn against me?!”
“Why did the bloodline develop a consciousness?”
