Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

An endless amount of demonic qi poured out once the copper door opened.

Yuan Wudao smirked in triumph as he channeled his demonic qi to stop the bleeding. Then, he swallowed a pill to recover his energy.

“Come, let’s go.”

He led the party through the copper door.

The moment they entered the room, what filled their sight was a wide room that was filled with the mounting corpses of demonic creatures. Some of the corpses were dismembered and surrounded by containers that stored the organs of various demonic creatures…

It was a horrifying sight for most of them.

“Oh dear, is the Demonic Hoarder Forefather out of his mind? All of these corpses are just lying around in his home, with some of them disemboweled… Ugh, this is disgusting.”

“Rumor has it that the Demonic Hoarder Forefather is one of the first people to master the cultivation of demonic qi. Could this be the method for how he attained his skills?”

“Look, there’s something there.”

The Chakra King pointed towards a location in shock.

There was a table before them, and on top of it was a pile of scrolls and various forms of jars and bottles.

Yuan Wudao picked up a jade scroll and channeled his spiritual thoughts, absorbing the messages that laid within. “These are researches that the Demonic Hoarder Forefather did. It looks like he did gain his insights by cutting these creatures open. I must say, he’s a mad genius.”

Yuan Wuhan was impressed by the forefather’s ingenuity. Even if Yuan Wuhan was granted ten more brains, he would probably not have thought of such a way to study the cultivation of demonic qi. Such a method was otherworldly.

“I heard that some doctors gained their medical knowledge by cutting a human open. I guess the Demonic Hoarder Forefather used that as an inspiration to study his cultivation,” King Chujiang said.

Hidden in the void, Chu Kuangren was also looking around the room. He, too, was awestruck. “I didn’t expect the Demonic Hoarder Forefather to be some sort of a mad scientist. This is incredible.”

“The Demonic Hoarder Forefather was an unprecedented figure. If it was not for the Sage War, he would still be alive and gained so much more insights,” said Yuan Wuhan.

Sage War?

That name certainly piqued some interest.

Upon hearing the mention of the Sage War, Chu Kuangren immediately thought of the Sage Ruler Holy King, the Eternal Sage Ruler, and many who had participated in that battle!

It was because of the Sage War that the Ancient Battleground existed today.

Those who came from the unknown lands possessed an enormous breadth of historical knowledge, hence it was no surprise that they knew about the Sage War. In fact, some of them may have even participated in it.

Yuan Wudao retrieved a jade bottle from the table and noticed that it contained some strange pills within. They radiated a rather peculiar scent.

“These are the demonic pills that were once refined by the Demonic Hoarder Forefather. Apparently, it has a remarkable effect on demonic qi cultivators.”

Yuan Wudao then proceeded to store the pills into his Yin and Yang Ring.

After that, the party proceeded to search through the entire area.

They soon arrived at an underground basement.

To their surprise, a fireball was hovering just below the basement’s ceilings. It was radiating with a chilling demonic qi.

“Such an eccentric aura. This must be a form of uncommon flame.”

“Ah, it’s said that the Underworld Demonic Realm is the coldest place in the world, and it’s almost impossible to produce a flame there. However, there is a type of flame that can burn even in the Underworld Demonic Realm. It’s called the Hellfire!”

“So this is the Hellfire? Amazing.”

“Careful not to touch it.”

The group carefully avoided bumping their heads into the flame. Thanks to the lights emitted by the Hellfire, the party was able to observe the contents of the underground basement.

There was a pool in the basement!

The pool was filled with a dark, viscous goo that wriggled about as if it had a life of its own. There was a grim presence that came from the pool too.

Yuan Wudao was elated. “Finally, I’ve found it! This is the demonic pus that was invented by the Demonic Hoarder Forefather. It’s one of the purest forms of demonic qi essence!”

Yuan Wudao looked into the pool with excitement. “Once I absorb this demonic pus, my cultivation will definitely breakthrough into the Sage Realm. By then, defeating Chu Kuangren will no longer be a difficult feat!”

“Oh, is that so?”

A voice familiar to Yuan Wuhan suddenly echoed throughout the basement. It was enough to turn his face pale.

He hastily turned around and noticed the presence of a young man and a lady.

They were no other than Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu.

The demonic cultivators were so frightened that their faces were drained of color. It was as if they had just bumped into the most terrifying monster that they had ever seen.

“What’s going on now? Why’re you here?”

The Chakra King and King Wuguan said.

“Oh, am I not supposed to be here? Where else should I be? Coming up with an antidote at the Black Heaven Sect?” Chu Kuangren said mischievously.

Only then did the demonic cultivators realize that Chu Kuangren had long seen through their plans!

Chu Kuangren had been toying with them all along!

They all grimaced in terror.

“Have you been following us all along?”

Yuan Wudao snarked.

“That’s right,” Chu Kuangren said playfully.

Many felt chills down their spine. Chu Kuangren had been following them all along, yet none of them had sensed that something was off throughout their journey!

If Chu Kuangren were to make any move…

The demonic cultivators did not dare to imagine.

They only felt one thing as they stood in front of Chu Kuangren, and that was they were no longer in control of their lives…

“What do you want?”

Yuan Wudao could not help but shudder.

At that point, all that was left to do was to negotiate with Chu Kuangren.

“What do I want?”

“Heh, there are so many decent items lying around this place. I want that pool of demonic pus behind you,” said Chu Kuangren.

“Impossible!”

Yuan Wudao yelled.

It had taken him a lot of effort to flip through the archives and finally discover this pool. No matter what, he would not give it up.

“Let’s be clear, I’m not asking for your permission. I don’t care whether or not you agree with my demands,” said Chu Kuangren calmly.

“Chu Kuangren, this is a pool of demonic pus. You have nothing to gain from it. Take everything else away from this place, but not this demonic pus!”

“Nope.”

“Chu Kuangren, you’re being unreasonable. We were the ones who found this place, and the door was opened by my demonic blood. I’m the one who has worked the hardest to discover this place. This demonic pus doesn’t benefit you at all. Why’re you making our lives so difficult?!”

Yuan Wudao was fuming with anger.

The more he vented his frustration, the more helpless he felt.

Why?!

Why would such an unreasonable person exist in this world?!

Yuan Wudao had poured his blood, sweat, and tears into this, only to have it all taken away by Chu Kuangren. It was ridiculous!

Would Chu Kuangren be satisfied only when Yuan Wudao had starved to death?!

“Since when did you, demonic cultivators, talk reason?”

Chu Kuangren laughed, but he was glaring coldly at his enemies.

The Chakra King and King Wuguan exchanged looks before they abruptly charged at Chu Kuangren, attacking him from both sides!

To the kings, they would rather give their all in this battle instead of awaiting their inevitable deaths. Perhaps, there was a slim chance that they could survive!
