Chapter 387: Surprise
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the distant core territory of the demon race, several figures slowly condensed in the majestic hall. Each of them looked like a towering beast. The moment they appeared, the s.p.a.ce in the hall almost froze.
The golden light instantly descended. These figures immediately bowed respectfully, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
As the dazzling golden light dissipated, a demonic-looking man glanced around indifferently and said with a dignified voice, “Last time, I sensed the fluctuations of the strange beast that disappeared from the human race. I didn’t expect that not long after, the human race’s ranking on the Myriad Spirit Ranking had risen by a hundred ranks. Although compared to our demon race and the other top races, this ranking is insignificant and can’t even affect the rise and fall of the race, everyone, don’t forget that before the appearance of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the human race was the true powerful race in this world!
“Even though they are ranked at the bottom, there are still many Immortal Dao experts supporting them, causing the human race to still be huge. Now that the Myriad Spirit Ranking has changed, this undoubtedly means that cultivators who can sense the door of strange beast have been born in the human race.”
The demonic man paused for a moment, and his voice gradually became cold. “That’s why our race has to do whatever it takes, whether it’s inside the strange beast gate or outside, we have to find him and kill him. We can’t let the human race have the possibility of rising again!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
In an ethereal and mysterious place, immortal spiritual energy was extremely dense, and there were even rare immortal treasures that did not exist in other cultivation places growing here.
Dozens of men and women exuding gentle auras were gathered in the Grand Cang Hall. They were also discussing the Myriad Spirit Ranking. However, compared to the demons, these dozens of figures looked much more relaxed.
“Although the human race was once a powerful race in this world, everything has its rise and fall. Our race is the most perfect race. As soon as the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared, it completely revealed this. Moreover, in the Strange Beast Gate, the descendants of our race are also the strongest. Only one human was born this time. There’s nothing to worry about!”
“Moreover, the demons and other races have a deep grudge with the human race. Compared to us, they are even more unwilling to see the human race rise again. Therefore, we can just sit and watch the storm.”
The upper echelons of the demon race gathered in a vast area of darkness without light. The ranking of the Myriad Spirit Ranking changed.
The demons were the most nervous. This was because ever since the human race gradually declined because of the Myriad Spirit Ranking, the demons had spared no effort in infiltrating and suppressing the human race. Many cultivation places that the human race had originally reproduced and lived in had been tainted by demonic qi and turned into the territory of the demons. Moreover, many cultivators and experts had been infiltrated by the demons and caused great damage to the human race.
It could be said that the demons had the deepest grudge against the human race.
“Everyone, the advancement of the human race on the Myriad Spirit Ranking this time is definitely not to be underestimated. Although the bloodline of the human race is thin and it’s difficult to give birth to a Beast Pattern Golden Core, and it’s even rarer for Tribulation Transcendence cultivators to sense the power of strange beasts, the potential of the human race is extremely strong. As long as they are given a little chance, they might be able to rise again!
“Therefore, no matter what the price is, we have to kill this human cultivator who entered the door of the strange beast. In addition, continue to send more people to carry out a new round of attacks on the immortal cultivators of the human race!”
The powerful glory of the human race had long entered the bloodline and soul of the myriad races. Even if the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared and changed the situation of the world, the other races did not dare to suppress the human race wantonly like the demons and devils. They could only secretly use some methods. Even in the remote and chaotic Abyss of Supreme Darkness, human cultivators were still active, but the cultivation environment was relatively worse.
It was precisely because of this that the change in the human race’s ranking of only too attracted the attention of all races. After all, no race wanted to see the rise of the human race again.
“Investigate. We must find out the location of this human cultivator who entered the door of the strange beast!”
“Don’t make a move yet. Let’s wait and see!”
“Humans are really tenacious. They actually gave birth to cultivators who can enter the door of strange beasts…”
“All the probing methods in the Strange Beast Gate will be suppressed. It would be fine if this cultivator is in the Tribulation Transcendence realm, but I’m afraid he’s at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realm!”
“All living beings who have just condensed a Beast Pattern Golden Core and entered the door of the strange beast will appear in the underground palace. The environment of the underground palace is extremely complicated. It’s very difficult to find this human cultivator!”
In less than an hour, most of the races informed the geniuses of the various races in the strange beast gate and asked them to find the human cultivator as soon as possible so that they could kill them in the cradle.
In the underground palace inside the Strange Beast Gate, whether it was the top geniuses of the races or the geniuses of the races who were at the bottom like the humans, at this moment, they all knew that a human cultivator had entered the door of the strange beast. However, compared to the upper echelons of the various races, these geniuses did not think much of it.
After all, although the door of the strange beast was related to the secret of longevity, it was extremely difficult to really obtain this opportunity. Most importantly, there were dangers everywhere inside. No one dared to be confident that they could be safe and sound. If they were unlucky, not to mention a Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation cultivator, even a Tribulation Transcendence expert or an even stronger Immortal expert would instantly die.
Therefore, they did not take the orders of their race to heart. If they encountered him, they would naturally kill him. However, if they did not encounter him, they would not specially search, especially in the complicated underground palace. If they were not careful, they would die. No one dared to move casually.
Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes in the dark and damp rock cave. He looked around warily, his eyes filled with curiosity, confusion, and strangeness. Previously, he thought that the door of the strange beast was some kind of inheritance and opportunity related to longevity, just like the stone tablet of the Beast Scripture.
He did not expect to enter the door of the strange beast with his body. It was really magical. It was as if he had entered another world.
“The Door of the Strange Beast…” As he muttered, Shen Ping was not in a hurry to move. He nestled in the narrow cave and first checked the items on his body. The Yin Chen Spirit Ring, the Purple Mystic Jade Spiritual Robe, and various other magic treasures could be used. There were also talismans. After checking, he carefully sensed his surroundings.
He immediately realized that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation here. This made him vigilant. He carefully took out a bottle of medicinal pills to recover his magic power and took out a few Little Thunder Flame Talismans. Then, he stood up and slowly walked out of the cave.
The light outside the cave was very dim. Even with his Golden Core strength, he could not see anything more than three meters away. Moreover, as soon as he left the cave, his divine sense seemed to be greatly suppressed. He could only sense things within five meters.
To cultivators, divine sense was very important. Without the help of his divine sense, cultivators could only rely on experience to fight.
Shen Ping’s heart sank. He tried to sense the door of the strange beast to leave this place, but it was useless. He took a deep breath and could only brace himself and continue walking forward slowly.
Hiss.
He walked about a hundred steps when an intense pain came from the bottom of his feet. He gasped and hurriedly raised his foot to look down. He saw a b.u.mp on the dark ground. It was this b.u.mp that had directly injured his foot.
This shocked Shen Ping. After all, his physical body had been enhanced and transformed by the essence of the strange beast’s blood. Coupled with the nourishment of the strange beast’s power, it far exceeded other Golden Core cultivators. It was even comparable to the early-stage Nascent Soul demon body of some demons. However, an ordinary stone could actually injure him. “What kind of stone is this?!” He squatted down. He examined it carefully, but could not see anything. He hesitated. Shen Ping used his Dharma treasure to cut the stone, but when he activated his Dharma treasure to slash the black stone, not even a mark could be left.
He thought for a moment. He simply urged the wisp of reddish-gold light in his dantian to his fingertip and turned it into a finger knife that slashed fiercely at the protruding spot. The power of strange beasts was an energy that seized the creation of heaven and earth.
If even it could not do anything to the stone, Shen Ping could only give up.
Psst. The moment the reddish-gold light touched the stone, this incomparably hard stone actually floated out of the black ground. At the same time, a strange aura spread out.
Shen Ping’s gaze subconsciously landed on the floating stone. His eyes widened by what he saw..
