Chapter 758: Chapter 753: Demon Bone Dao
"It’s actually a request from ’above.’"
"Why would ’above’ place such importance on a Tier One Awakened suit?"
There was a lot of discussion, showing a lack of discipline.
The Star-Picking Tower was inherently a rather loose Evil Alliance, and most of the Awakened who joined were evil Awakened criminals from Earth, naturally unable to enforce the strict orders of an army.
As Huaxia advanced cultural unification, Earth gradually came under Bai Pu’s banner. These Awakened criminals from Huaxia, with space to hide abroad becoming increasingly narrow, naturally were filled with resentment towards Bai Pu. Thus, although discipline was poor, their loyalty to Star-Picking Tower was not an issue.
"The Immortal King suit is a crucial key, this is an oracle from ’above.’" The Dragon King spoke, intending to suppress the voices of doubt.
"Killing Gangxin isn’t easy; this guy’s strength is unfathomable. Last time, in the war between the Yazd people and Earth, this guy slew the Yazd Corps Commander alone, becoming noticeably more terrifying."
"Lord Dragon King is a Peak Title Powerhouse, and can’t defeat Gangxin?"
"Hmph, isn’t Gangxin also a Peak Title Powerhouse? If it weren’t for Earth’s transition to the Silver Heart Great World, causing the Peak Title battles to cease, there’s a chance the Dragon King’s title would have changed hands."
The discussions did not cease.
The Beifeng Elder glared angrily at the Awakened who was speaking pessimistically and said solemnly, "Enough, just because Gangxin’s strength has improved, doesn’t mean Lord Dragon King’s hasn’t? To be honest with you all, Lord Dragon King also possesses the combat power to slay a Yazd Corps Commander!"
A group of evil Awakened were skeptical.
Another elder, "Mount Tai," began delegating tasks: "We have matched with the expedition team under the Black Tortoise Oath, which is a rare opportunity. Everyone should act separately on the Turtle Ship, carrying out tasks, gathering intelligence..."
The Dragon King spoke solemnly, "The current priority is to gather information on Dongbo Cheng, especially the coordinates of the Dongbo Clan expedition team. This is the request of those Red Race powerhouses, and we must accomplish it immediately."
After the crowd dispersed, Mount Tai looked at the Dragon King curiously:
"Has Lord Dragon King’s strength really advanced so much that it’s comparable to Gangxin?"
The muscles twitched on the Dragon King’s thin cheeks, and he slowly said, "After entering the Silver Heart Great World, I encountered a more complete Mystical Arts cultivation system, and my strength indeed improved significantly... Slaying a Yazd Corps Commander is not a difficult task..."
The Dragon King was originally the top genius on Earth, limited only by Earth’s major environment. After arriving in the Silver Heart Great World, his potential was unleashed, and his strength further improved, which was expected.
Before Mount Tai could be pleased, the Dragon King’s next words were like a bucket of cold water.
"...However, Gangxin is truly a monster-level existence. I have seen videos of him slaughtering three Yazd Corps Commanders as easily as breathing; I can’t achieve that."
Facing the two elders of the Star-Picking Tower, the Dragon King was candid.
The Beifeng Elder saw the atmosphere turn heavy and quickly said, "It’s alright, it’s alright. Gangxin doesn’t necessarily require us to personally kill; as long as we participate, blending in to get the kill contribution will do.
"That group of Red Race are not easy opponents; Brion, the leader, claims to be the ’first genius of Burning Ash.’ Even the Eight Great Purple Dragon Guards of the Platinum Court, and the three Princes of the Sea God Hall find it difficult to triumph. Dealing with a Gangxin should be a cinch, right?"
At this moment, Bai Pu, who was being dissed crazily by the Beifeng Elder, hesitated in front of an earthly cave door.
The door to this cave resembled a monster’s mouth, slowly opening and closing.
When it was smallest, it was tightly shut, and after about half an hour, it expanded to its maximum, creating a giant mouth with a diameter of dozens of meters! Then it gradually shrank and closed over half an hour.
This reminded Bai Pu of a monster snoring, its mouth opening and closing.
Around the entrance was pale bone membrane and bone spurs.
"Master, this is the Demon Bone Dao, the main road of the Underworld. To travel quickly in the vast Underworld, the Demon Bone Dao is the only choice."
From within the Heart Image Space came the voice of Illusion: "Legend has it that the land of the Heart Demon World is formed from the corpse of an unimaginably giant Demon Beast. The Demon Bone Dao is the skeleton of this Demon Beast. Don’t be fooled by the small entrance, the inside of the bone path is much larger."
Bai Pu looked at the bone path entrance with a diameter of several dozen meters, thinking the entrance wasn’t small at all.
"Entering the Demon Bone Dao requires caution against being targeted by demons."
Illusion promptly provided context, "The Demon Bone Dao is the highway of the Underworld, closely monitored by various Demon Emperors and Demon Generals. However, with the Red Emperor asleep, the Demon Bone Dao in the Red Annihilation River area has little risk; Master just needs to avoid triggering the ’Crimson Earth Vein’ and causing a Crimson Calamity."
"Crimson Earth Vein? Is it a dangerous area within the Demon Bone Dao?"
Illusion: "Crimson Earth Veins exist in many places in the Underworld, and the Crimson Earth Veins accompanying the Demon Bone Dao are the thickest. If accidentally disturbed, causing a Crimson Calamity... all individuals in the disaster zone, whether human or demon, will be plunged into unending slaughter until completely annihilated."
Bai Pu frowned, as the calamities contained within such natural danger zones were beyond human resistance.
Thinking about this, Bai Pu also checked whether he could return to reality by virtue of his identity as Master of the Earth Battleship, bypassing the main storyline task.
The result was that he could not return, the reason being unclear.
The surging strength of the Spiritual Essence, the abnormal condition of being unable to return... all these situations gave Bai Pu a sense of peril.
"Could it be that the smoke screen I released didn’t work? Have the Yazd people still locked onto my matched Spirit Realm Plane and used a device to seal it, making it impossible for me to return?"
"Very likely! The Tower Master of the Tower of Babel, Master Bo Xuan, has demonstrated extraordinary divination art. If the Burning Ash Organization also has such divination experts... it’s not impossible for them to pinpoint my location."
With this hypothesis, Bai Pu’s spine instantly straightened.
What was supposed to be just an ordinary Mystical Arts cultivation trip to the Heart Demon World.
Now it seemed Bai Pu would have to muster the high concentration he used when leading the Huaxia Battle Group in the Demon Fighting World, for he might be facing the best Awakened geniuses of the Yazd people...
Possibly including that Awakened Major General—Quentin!
Though highly focused, Bai Pu was not afraid.
"The Spirit Realm is my home ground. No matter how strong Burning Ash is, they can’t send Evolvers to stop me! As long as my opponent remains a Tier One Awakened, I will not lose."
Bai Pu took a deep breath and stepped into the Demon Bone Dao, which seemed like a monster’s mouth.
