Chapter 158: Ghost Festival, Ghost Gate Opens! Demon Ascension Rules!
Looking around the entire lava area, the Demon Race expert did not dare to show himself.
‘Alien Races are not completely invincible.’
‘Find your nest and beat the hell out of it! What can you do then?’
Bai Yu quickly retracted his shield and Bai Ling, transformed into Thunder Movement, and quickly caught up with the team.
Cave entrance.
Everyone else rushed out.
Li Yunbin and the other two group leaders were still clearing out potential Inferior Demons at the first fork in the cave.
Everyone was still a bit worried.
After a while, three figures rushed out, and a bolt of lightning also followed.
As soon as they came out, Bai Yu excitedly said, “Let’s go, let’s go! Quick retreat! That stupid snake followed us out.”
As he spoke, there was movement from behind, and with a few leaps, they reached the top of the cliff.
Looking back again, blazing flames spewed out from the cave entrance, and the Hell Snake’s head also appeared.
Dark red patterns, better looking than a black mamba, good-looking and non-venomous, a good snake!
Its body was about one meter in diameter, and its eyes were as large as basketballs!
It stared intently at Bai Yu and the others, as if hesitating whether to chase them out.
The Thunder Domain around Bai Yu quickly transformed into three Gungnirs, which were shot out directly.
“Boom boom boom~”
The power was not particularly strong, but it was enough to enrage the snake monster.
“Hiss~!”
The Hell Snake was clearly extremely angry and directly spewed blazing flames at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu coldly snorted in his heart: Hmph! As expected of a stupid beast!
He didn’t show too much strength, but instead chose to provoke the Hell Snake, making it charge out.
The others couldn’t quickly understand his intention.
However, their attacks were not too strong, and they only served to enrage the snake.
Seeing that the stupid snake had some sense, Bai Yu used Thunder Movement and appeared about seven meters in front of the snake’s head.
His right fist began to gather power, and terrifying energy converged.
The Hell Snake saw that this human, Bai Yu, dared to confront it directly and was instantly furious, opening its abyssal maw.
Exaggeratingly, this maw was about five meters in diameter from top to bottom, and its throat was like an abyss.
It was about to swallow.
But golden light shot out from between Bai Yu’s eyebrows, transforming into a giant golden cauldron.
“Suppress!”
The giant cauldron smashed directly onto the cave entrance.
The giant snake’s head, which had extended five meters out of the cave, found it impossible to retreat immediately.
Moreover, the terrifying force of the giant cauldron pinned it down, unable to move.
Li Yunbin and Bai Yu had excellent chemistry; Sword Light had already been building up behind them and quickly took shape at this moment.
“Slash!”
Jiang Liyue was not to be outdone. A phantom of a spirit cat appeared behind her, and with a swipe of its claw, it attacked the monster’s mouth.
Yu Rundong, being a strong expert of the Ancient Martial Arts system, did not join the fray.
While everyone was fighting, a stream of golden light shot over from a distance.
Its target was directly at this snake!
A Sword Cultivator of the Spirit Yuan Realm!
In the next moment, four figures appeared, all of them peak Spirit Yuan Realm experts.
Two of them, one in a black robe and one in a white robe, Bai Yu remembered.
Li Family strong experts from the Cloud Lake Battle!
With four peak Spirit Yuan Realm experts entering the fray, they naturally unleashed their respective techniques.
One of them, a muscular strong man with coiled dragon-like muscles, was incredibly brave. He rushed to the snake’s head and made a forceful, empty grip.
He grabbed the snake’s head with his right hand and then pulled outwards with force.
This giant snake, along with Bai Yu’s Overlord Cauldron, was directly pulled out.
The giant snake thrashed about, and broken stones rolled down the mountain walls.
The white-robed Sword Cultivator snorted coldly.
“Hmph!”
Eight golden sword lights appeared behind him.
The sword lights merged, attack!
“Pfft~!”
The golden sword light directly severed the head, creating an opening in the Hell Snake’s head.
The strength-type Spirit Yuan Realm expert exerted even more force.
“Get out of here!”
“Rumble~”
The Hell Snake’s internal body was clearly curved, increasing friction with the cave walls.
However, even under these circumstances, it was quickly pulled out.
The giant snake was directly grabbed in mid-air, then ‘snap’, it was thrown into the river channel, creating waves over ten meters high.
Roughly estimated, it was twenty-two meters long.
A simple calculation, at least twenty tons?
And with four Spirit Yuan Realm experts attacking, it was naturally quickly slain.
In this battle, Bai Yu could tell that the white-robed Sword Cultivator, known as Old Man Yang, was definitely an expert capable of fighting beyond his realm!
That strength-type expert was also at the level of fighting beyond his realm.
In this regard, the Human Race’s realms might not be as strong as Alien Races, but their foundations in cultivation are very deep!
It’s not the case where only one can fight beyond their realm, and everyone else can only be strictly categorized by their cultivation level.
Speaking of which, the Federation’s level classification is extremely effective! This is the key to determining combat power.
Realms are merely the stages reached in cultivation.
After the battle, the Body Cultivator directly asked, “What exactly happened? How could such a high-level Hell creature appear here?”
The other three Spirit Yuan Realm experts were also quite curious. They knew a little about this Hell Snake, but it was not common!
Li Yunbin quickly explained, “While we were searching the mountains for Vampire Clan Modified Beings and other monsters, we accidentally discovered this cave. We sensed a Hellish Aura and decided to investigate.”
The Body Cultivator was clearly very bold and said, “Haha~ Good luck! And good courage!”
The other team members who knew the inside story couldn’t say that Bai Yu had specifically led them here at this time.
Li Yunbin then said sternly, “We discovered a Hell fissure inside this cave.”
The Body Cultivator immediately became excited.
“Oh? Really!?”
“Absolutely true! We went about four to five hundred meters deep and saw it with our own eyes at the underground lava. However, it was only a small fissure, emitting a Hellish Aura, not yet at a level capable of teleportation.”
Hearing this, the Body Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly said, “Hahaha~! You did an excellent job! This is a great merit.”
Next, they naturally had to deal with the scene.
The items on the Hell Snake were also treasures! Worth four to five million, equivalent to the harvest from a resource point.
If it were a Spiritual Beast whose entire body was a treasure, at this size, it could sell for hundreds of millions!
This merit naturally went mostly to the three teams.
After a brief explanation of the situation, people would naturally handle the aftermath here.
The three teams then took a car back, awaiting the night’s operation.
Judging by the sudden appearance of four peak Spirit Yuan Realm experts, the night’s operation would not be simple!
Somewhere unknown.
An underground space filled with Hellish Aura.
The Demon Sorcerer, injured by the Gungnir, knew he couldn’t hold on and fled directly.
He looked at the lord before him, the Demon Lord of the Spirit Sea Realm who had appeared at the wharf battle, and quickly reported the intelligence.
“Those dozen or so people are all geniuses who can fight beyond their realms. This subordinate knew he was no match and immediately returned to report.”
“Hmph!”
The Demon Lord snorted, and the pressure around him was instantly released, causing the Demon Sorcerer to tremble.
Then, the Demon Lord asked, “A dozen or so geniuses who fight beyond their realms? When did the Human Race produce such a team? Tell me, who are they!”
“This subordinate… this subordinate…”
He really wanted to say that he was part of a gang, not society, so how could he recognize these people?
He really didn’t know them!
After thinking about it, he still described, “The one leading them is covered in lightning, has many tricks, a huge shield, and oh, there’s a dragon!”
“Hmm?”
The Demon Lord pointed with one hand, and Bai Yu’s phantom appeared.
The Demon Sorcerer looked and said, “Yes! It’s this person!”
After confirmation, the Demon Lord tapped his chair, lost in thought.
‘No wonder those guys from the Shadow Realm put out a warrant for him over a mere two subordinates.’
After considering for a moment, he said, “I’ll give you one month to kill these people for me!”
The Demon Sorcerer screamed internally.
Damn it! If I could beat them, why would I need to run away?
If you’re so capable, you go!
But he didn’t dare to say that, so he tentatively asked, “My Lord, my strength is weak, can you send some men…”
“Need people? In this vast mountain range, with Vampires, Shadow Realm, Black Demons, Sea Monsters, so many people, you ask me for people!? Or have you lost your basic abilities as a demon? If so, it seems useless to keep you!”
As he spoke, the Demon Sorcerer felt a suffocating sensation.
However, this was just pressure.
The Demon Sorcerer cursed internally but dared not show it, and finally could only accept the mission.
Seeing this person leave, the Demon Lord narrowed his eyes.
‘The Human Race in this area has been rising in luck quite rapidly recently. Now they dare to come to my doorstep.’
He liked to play with balance, watching all sides deplete each other.
In this mountain range, the Human Race was in decline, and he originally didn’t want them to collapse here.
Now he had to carefully consider his plan.
But as he stood up, he seemed to sense something and knelt on one knee.
“Lord Meto!”
And the space he was in also condensed into a massive demon phantom.
This phantom was clearly more orthodox.
“The humans seem to have discovered my plan. Be ready to act at any moment tonight, and you must protect it at all costs.”
“Understood!”
On the other side, after leaving the cave, the Demon Sorcerer cursed, “Damn it! Isn’t it just that he got the power of a stronger lord than me and reached the Spirit Sea Realm early!?”
But he also knew that if he failed, that guy might really kill him.
“These human geniuses must have someone protecting them. How can I deal with them! And if I really kill them, I definitely won’t survive.”
He wasn’t stupid.
How to climb up was what he needed to consider.
Go to death, be the vanguard?
Dream on!
The Hell Realm is only preliminarily involved in the Ninth Administrative District, causing some destruction, inducing conflicts between factions, and controlling the balance.
It’s not considered a mission.
Their internal competition is merely about planning major events.
‘Should I sell this coordinate to the Investigation Bureau?’
‘No! If the Demon Lord behind me finds out, I won’t be able to escape either.’
‘If I want to climb higher, I need to make some big moves! Even if I sell him out, I can’t do it too obviously.’
Inside the Investigation Bureau.
Everyone returned around four o’clock.
After returning, they naturally quickly circulated their Cycle to recover their spiritual power.
In the Cultivation Room.
Bai Yu circulated his Cycle while starting to think.
‘If my senses and Bai Ling’s were not mistaken when we returned, He Tian Village is now shrouded in a Netherworld Barrier.’
‘Yin Messenger!!!’
‘It seems the officials have made their arrangements. If they wait until night to cast their net, the commotion might be smaller? And the Yin Messengers’ abilities will be stronger.’
‘Besides the arrangements at He Tian Village, there must be plenty of manpower elsewhere!’
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu was still a bit uneasy without specific intelligence for tonight’s operation.
But intelligence is only an aid.
He also had to get used to doing things without intelligence.
“As for the remaining four resource points, I wonder if they will also have problems.”
This time, digging up a Demon Race nest was definitely a huge profit for him!
He could use this to obtain more intelligence.
The Demon Race could arrange an inconspicuous intellectually disabled person in He Tian Village.
Clearly, there would be more arrangements.
It was enough to make one wary!
But Bai Yu suddenly thought of a problem, a piece of information he had almost overlooked.
Yin Messenger! Netherworld Barrier!
The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, August 18th.
Ghost Festival, the Ghost Gate opens!
“No, today is August 13th, this is five days from now.”
“Wait!”
