Chapter 1954: Chapter 1952: The Demon Clan’s Shocking Demon Skill
A massive pit, spanning several kilometers, filled not only with blood but also with tens of thousands of demon beast corpses strewn about haphazardly. None of the corpses were intact. A wave of resentment emanated from these incomplete bodies, heavy and lingering!
The Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit!
This was the name Ye Tianchen gave to such a scene. Why such a thing occurred was unexplainable, yet at this moment, the four young demon clan members who seemed to follow Ye Tianchen all thought of something, their expressions grave, and they were immersed in a kind of resentment!
"Shocking demon skills, can they really be successfully cultivated this way? Can such heavy resentment really be harnessed?" The burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan asked himself, frowning.
"It seems that you all understand why this place looks like this!" Ye Tianchen said, looking at the four guys.
"Yes, it relates to a legend passed down from ancient times within our demon clan; it should be true!" The youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan nodded as he spoke.
"However, this legend has always been just a legend, never practiced by anyone because it’s too cruel; it is much more brutal than fighting and killing!" The young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan also nodded as she spoke.
The Flying Little Leopard glanced at Ye Tianchen, then spoke: "It is said that in ancient times, when our demon clan was just born, the Ancient Alien Race was incredibly powerful, wanting at times to take our demon beast clan as blood food. However, our demon clan was also favored by the heavens, born with some divine skills. Yet compared to the Ancient Alien Race, these skills were indeed somewhat weaker. In such circumstances, it is not known which ancestor of the demon clan saw a kind of shocking demon skill on an ancient stele..."
"Shocking demon skills?" Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.
"Yes, it’s rumored that once these shocking demon skills are successfully cultivated, they become incredibly strong, unimaginably so. And the foundation for cultivating these demon skills is resentment. A demon clan ancestor wandered to various places in search of resentment, but repeatedly failed. Finally, he went mad, slaughtering nearly one hundred thousand demon beasts overnight, piling their bodies together, bathing them in their own blood, making the resentment more intense. Every day, this demon clan ancestor cultivated in the area where the resentment was heaviest, and eventually, he succeeded..." the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan continued.
"The Ancient Alien Race was born in this martial arts world, followed by the demon clan. Even though the fate of the demon clan was not as tragic as that of the Human Clan, life was certainly not good when they were newly born into this world. At that time, for the survival of the species, there was no choice but to act accordingly!" Ye Tianchen said.
"Haha, if it were just like this, then this legend wouldn’t just be a legend, and this shocking demon skills would have been passed down. But that’s far from the truth..." The burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan shook his head and said.
"Could anything have happened afterward?" Ye Tianchen pondered and asked.
"This demon clan ancestor who practiced the shocking demon skills, after his success, he wasn’t himself anymore. Overnight, he devoured his own species and went on a killing spree among the demon clan, swallowing any living creature he saw, losing himself. However, his strength was such that at the time, few could rival him; no one could stop him, until one day he suddenly came to his senses. The first thing he did was cut off his own head, warning everyone in the demon clan that these shocking demon skills must not be cultivated, for once cultivated, one would lose oneself. No matter how powerful a person without self is, it is all in vain. With that, he sat and passed away!" The young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan thought for a moment and said.
Ye Tianchen nodded. He understood now: the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit exists for the cultivation of such shocking demon skills that have not been passed down from ancient times among the demon clan. However, such vicious shocking demon skills are shunned even by the naturally ferocious demon beast clan. How was it passed down? Who obtained this inheritance and is continuing the cultivation in the Barbaric Forbidden Land?
It must be known that within the Barbaric Forbidden Land, besides the world of demon beasts, powerful ancient alien species also lurk. If a powerful demon beast cultivated such shocking demon skills, capturing tens of thousands of ordinary demon beasts and killing them all in one place, such waves of resentment rising to the sky, wouldn’t other powerful beings notice? Would they just let it be cultivated? Unless the being cultivating these shocking demon skills is already very powerful, they wouldn’t be afraid of others trying to stop them!
So, for a being already very powerful to cultivate such vicious shocking demon skills, just what kind of existence is it?
"Let’s go and check the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land. It seems there has already been some significant change inside!" Ye Tianchen thought and said.
"Yes, we must take a look!" The Flying Little Leopard agreed, nodding.
"This could perhaps truly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!" the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan also agreed, saying.
"Our five great demon clans have been enslaved for many years, living worse than death, losing our freedom. We must succeed in breaking free from our fate this time!" The burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan clenched his fist tightly and said.
"Whether life or death, success or failure, we cannot let future generations suffer the same as us!" The young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan said, her eyes firm.
The look of the Barbaric Forbidden Land undoubtedly signaled that something had changed; otherwise, as soon as Ye Tianchen and others entered, they were likely to suffer a violent attack. Especially the scene of the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit, which left them all shocked and frowning; indeed, this Barbaric Forbidden Land is not a place easily ventured into.
Swish! Swish! Swish...
Ye Tianchen and the others flew away, leaving the area of the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit. They wanted to find a living being to understand the situation of the Barbaric Forbidden Land, but they found none. The Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit was filled only with dead demon beasts, so how could they obtain any information?
"Rustle!"
What Ye Tianchen and the others absolutely didn’t expect was that just as they left the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit, a black bat emerged from a demon beast’s corpse. Especially with its eerily glowing golden eyes, the most unexpected thing was that this black bat could even talk, harshly saying:
"Looks like I need to notify the king quickly; a few more good blood meals have come to the door!"
Ye Tianchen, the Flying Little Leopard, the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, the burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, and the young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan set off again. However, they had no understanding of the situation in the Barbaric Forbidden Land, nor did they know in which direction to head, making it the most bewildering situation because wandering aimlessly not only prevents reaching the desired place but also encounters many unnecessary troubles, wasting time!
Speaking of time, Ye Tianchen now can’t afford to waste it. If it weren’t for Tian Boguang’s situation, Ye Tianchen would have liked to wander here for a bit to see if there were any gains. But Tian Boguang only has a few days of life left, and if within these days Ye Tianchen doesn’t find the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass and the Reviving Immortal Elixir to bring back, Tian Boguang will surely die. Therefore, he has no time or leisure to dawdle here, nor can he afford to waste any time recklessly!
"No, going on like this isn’t going to work; we don’t even know the directions!" Ye Tianchen stopped, frowning and talking to himself.
"It doesn’t make sense; on this journey, we haven’t seen any living beings, how could this be? It can’t be that all living creatures are waiting for some treasure to appear, waiting for their fates?" The Flying Little Leopard also glanced around and asked.
"No, I think the Barbaric Forbidden Land is much larger than we imagined; perhaps we are still at the outer edges of it!" The burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan thought for a moment and said.
"That’s right, it’s the most likely scenario. Maybe the outer edges guarded by our five great demon clans are still the outermost edges, and we are still at the outer edges; we need to fly further inside!" The young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan nodded and said.
Ye Tianchen considered this and found it very likely; otherwise, how could it be so illogical? With the Ten Thousand Demon Burial Pit in mind, it further reinforced this possibility because the being cultivating the shocking demon skills must be extremely powerful. However, no matter how powerful it is, it might not be the strongest being within the Barbaric Forbidden Land. If it was already inside the Barbaric Forbidden Land or even deep within it, there would surely be other powerful beings intervening to stop it; they wouldn’t watch it succeed in getting stronger. Only under the conditions of the outer edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land could it possibly evade detection and cultivate the shocking demon skills without being discovered!
"Yes, then we need to accelerate our speed and fly forward another ten thousand miles; I won’t believe we can’t reach the center of the Barbaric Forbidden Land!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then said.
The Flying Little Leopard, the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, the burly man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, and the young girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan all nodded, following Ye Tianchen, turning into light beams, rushing towards the depths of the Barbaric Forbidden Land. All the while, they never noticed that not far behind them, a black bat was secretly following them... (To be continued.
