Chapter 1261: The Demon Swamp (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The demon clan’s sacred place was within the remote Demon Swamp. Legend had it that the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed could absorb the tainted energy of the world and transform it into demon aura. It was held as sacred grounds by the powerful demon kings. Every new demon king would come here to absorb the demon aura and cultivate to obtain more power.
A long time ago, The demon G.o.d protected the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed. The demon G.o.d was worshiped by all the demons, and even the powerful demon king was as subservient as an ant before it. Only after an elaborate kowtowing process would the demon king get the chance to cultivate in the Demon Swamp.
Following the destruction of the demon G.o.d, the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was no longer protected. All wanting a piece of that sacred territory, the demon kings fought each other and that place had become fragmented by all that internal rivalry.
To ensure the right to use the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, every demon king stationed a troop of high-level demons at the Demon Swamp.
And now, all the demons in the world had gathered at the Demon Swamp.
News of the humans attacking the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed had spread across all the demon clans. Regardless of how much they hated each other, all the demons had come together for the sake of the race.
To reach the Demon Swamp from the Kingdom of Sa Er, one must travel around mountain ranges and go through harsh wilderness. At least three months’ time was needed for the journey.
And within three months, the armies of the various nations had all moved out and were marching across the lands in endless waves.
Xing Hun sat inside a luxurious horse carriage while holding the map of the Demon Swamp. It was marked with dangers abound. A place where no one dared to enter even half a step.
“Lord Xing Hun, have you been to the Demon Swamp before?” Long Yue was sitting in the same carriage as Xing Hun. This was the first time he was looking at the map of the Demon Swamp.
Legends had it that only the most powerful Terminators could enter it. It was entirely impossible for a normal human being to do so.
Xing Hun kept the map.
“This is a map left behind by Qin Yu previously.”
Long Yue was shocked by what he heard.
The Qin Yu mentioned by Xing Hun was the most powerful Terminator in the world then. He was also the very one who managed to cut down the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed and completely overcome the Demon Swamp.
In the legends, Qin Yu had never tasted defeat in his life. All demons were as helpless as ants before him.
Even people like Long Yue feared Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was different from the other Terminators. The blood of the demon G.o.d flowed in his body, and normal demons were not his match.
However, even the most powerful Terminators could not escape the fate of turning into demons.
Long Yue remembered hearing from some Divine Temple people that when Qin Yu turned into a demon, the Divine Temple dispatched thousands of their elite fighters and attacked for three days and nights before finally killing him. Heaven knew just how formidable the elite of the Divine Temple were, but more than half of them perished just to take down Qin Yu.
If such a terrifying Terminator was still alive, there was no way the Kingdom of Sa Er could hold on to their number one position as the most powerful nation.
“I heard that Qin Yu’s bloodline still exists in the Sacred Dragon Emperor troops. Do we want that?” Long Yue recalled the rumors surrounding Qin Yu. He couldn’t help thinking that after Qin Yu’s death, his heir had remained in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, and was not summoned back by the Divine Temple. He felt rather puzzled at this.
