9 Astral Demon
The massacre in the darkness went of for a while. Those who came to kill Chu Yunfan all died at his hands. Until their deaths, they didn’t know that the person who killed them was their target, Chu Yunfan.
They all died at Chu Yunfan’s hands. To them, this was a dangerous place, but to Chu Yunfan was like a fish in a water here.
After killing all of them, Chu Yunfan reappeared in the air. His face was expressionless as he placed the corpses of these people into the Mountain River Diagram. If these corpses weren’t dealt with, given the density of the demonic energy here, it wouldn’t take long for them to turn into undead. To be used to water Chu Yunfan’s Brahma Tree was considered a good last use.
“Wang Yifan, huh? One day, I will cut off your head.” Chu Yunfan’s expression was cold.
To others, Wang Yifan was a high and mighty true disciple, an existence that ordinary people could not even imagine. But to Chu Yunfan, he was just a small stumbling block on his endless martial path. If he couldn’t even deal with Wang Yifan, how could he reach enlightenment?
Chu Yunfan glanced around. Although that incident had only been a short moment, he had lost track of Huang Feng and the others. This forced him to give up on tracking Fan Shixin for the time being.
Fan Shixin had tricked him into coming here to be cannon fodder. If he was slightly weaker, he would have really become cannon fodder.
Chu Yunfan wasn’t in a hurry. Like a fish in water, he absorbed the demonic energy and turning it into his own power. At the same time, he charged toward the intermediate Abstract Stage. Although he had just stepped into the Abstract Stage, his foundation was extremely firm. It was firmer than anyone elses’. He did not have to worry about his foundation being unstable, so he could continue to break through.
Along the way, he scouted the area and occasionally encountered some undead. These were the experts who had died here. They were not very powerful and were no match for Chu Yunfan. He easily killed them one after another.
The closer he got to the center of the Sierra Holy Demon, the more Chu Yunfan felt an extreme danger. He could hear fainte roars coming from the center of the Sierra Holy Demon. It seemed to be the roar of some terrifying beast.
Sometimes, Chu Yunfan could even feel the ground trembling. It was caused by large creatures passing by. Thinking of this, he sucked in a breath of cold air. The records of the Sierra Holy Demon in “The World” were vague, and much of it was only brief mentions. This itself was strange. Although “The World” only gave a rough introduction to this place, the situation was still very strange. And these experts who died here inexplicably, could they really not have resisted the corrosion of the demonic energy and died?
It was probably not that simple.
‘Is there really a legendary demonic creature in the center of the mountain range?’ Chu Yunfan thought of the many legends about the Sierra Holy Demon. Someone had once seen an extremely terrifying figure here. Although it was only a glimpse, it had completely frightened them.
Chu Yunfan decided to be more careful. But even so, these undead couldn’t do anything to him. Soon, he realized something strange. These undead seemed to be moving in the same direction as if summoned by something.
‘If these undead were not born only because of the demonic energy, but also because they have a certain level of intelligence or if someone is controlling them from behind, then everything makes sense.’ Chu Yunfan felt that this would explain everything. All the unreasonable things he had seen before could be explained. ‘But if that’s the case, why are all these undead scattered all over the Sierra Holy Demon heading toward one place?’
He could clearly sense demonic shadows flying in a certain direction. ‘Unless there’s something ahead that requires them to rush over to fight or protect. If someone is controlling these undead from behind, then they might be going to that person.’
Chu Yunfan’s eyes lit up as if he had suddenly thought of something. He felt like he had come to understand something. Like his feet had a mind of its own, they sprinted in the direction of the undead and followed them closely.
Soon, a huge basin appeared ahead. To be precise, it was not a basin, but a pool. It was filled with a black liquid—condensed demonic energy. The demonic energy in the Sierra Holy Demon was already very dense, but the demonic energy in this pool was clearly more than ten times denser. It had even turned into a viscous liquid.
The liquid demonic energy filled the pool and surged like boiling water.
There was a gigantic demon sitting in the center of the pool. It had a green face and sharp fangs. It also had wings and was covered in pitch-black scales. Its eyes were red, and it looked to be more than 30 meters tall. It was extremely huge.
“It’s an astral demon!”
These beings once invaded the human world, but they were defeated and forced to withdraw from the human world. It was rare to see such demons in this world in this day and age.
