Chapter 454: The Resources of the Myriad Demon Valley Now Belongs to Lu Xuan
All of the terrifying breaths from the monsters were the effects of the monstrous aether raging within them, which could be conjured into terrifying attacks. Nevertheless, the monsters were still unable to shake the barrier even when using their breaths.
It was because of that barrier that Lu Xuan could survive being in such a dire state.
The monsters wanted nothing more than to see Lu Xuan ripped to pieces. Even though they found the barrier a long time ago, however, they were unable to do anything to him as long as they were incapable of breaking it.
The monsters would gather at times to try to break that barrier but to no avail.
Nevertheless, very powerful monsters had been guarding the barrier the whole time; they were afraid of Lu Xuan escaping.
It was apparent that news from outside traveled. The Myriad Demon Valley was not only filled with monsters; some demons had developed intellectual capacities.
After all, the most notable difference between demons and monsters was their intellectual capacity.
There were also powerful beings among the monsters, almost all of them managed to absorb spirit qi through sheer instinct but possessed some kind of special heritage in their bloodlines. If they were descendants of some kind of divine or demonic beasts, they may have even awakened some powers from their ancestors.
Even if they managed to develop any kind of intellectual capacity, however, the fact that they were still just monsters would never change.
Many among them even continued to let their powerful primal instincts dictate their actions.
On the other hand, the demons were different. For a long time, they stopped relying on primal instincts in favor of intelligence.
Powerful demons were capable of commanding several monsters, just like how Ao Chen had been able to back then.
However, all those monsters would still be monsters in the end. Only demons would truly pose a threat to humans, which was why Ao Chen personally came to Earth.
Lu Xuan eventually learned that aside from killing Ao Chen to prevent any future threats, the most important thing was to secure the Divine Tree of Enlightenment. That was what allowed monsters to become demons.
As long as the tree remained in the hands of the demons, they would be able to grow at frightening rates. However, taking the tree away from them would ensure that their growth would never reach that of humans.
It was the same with other species like the vampires and the werewolves. In the end, their only choice was to be integrated into human society; they could never be independent of humans.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Those powerful monsters continued to ram on that barrier from the outside hoping to break it but to no avail.
Lu Xuan then said to himself, “Then it looks like it’s time to contact home.”
That was a better place than Earth; it was obvious that the place was more suitable for cultivation.
It was especially so for reincarnated beings like Lu Xuan. If there were no shackles in place, then he would have had access to plenty of resources. There was no doubt that such a place would have been considered a paradise for him.
It was especially so when he knew that it would not take long before the shackles on the planet were finally gone for good.
He did not have much time left. By the time the ones from the sects and clans returned, there would have most likely been an epic battle waiting for him.
He had to be prepared for such situations.
He had also long exhausted his supply of cultivation resources. All that he stockpiled in the Coiling Dragon Ring had long been used up.
All of those cultivation resources had been what Ao Chen ama.s.sed over the years.
It was worth noting how many monsters that the dragon commanded in secret, which meant that it could ama.s.s untold amounts of cultivation resources.
Some of the monsters even came from places that humans were unable to explore themselves, like some peaks of snowy mountains or somewhere in deep seas. All those places had many of these treasures growing out of them.
Humans were only able to tread through such places because of the growing number of formidable cultivators around. However, such places had always been a paradise for the monsters.
n.o.body knew how many monsters were living in such places. That was exactly why that ma.s.sive cultivation resources were stockpiled en ma.s.se in the Myriad Demon Valley. All sorts of natural treasures, mystical herbs of high age, and mystical items were found.
It could even be said that the demons became a terrifying ent.i.ty capable of standing against human beings because they acc.u.mulated such wealth in the later years of Lu Xuan’s previous life.
Currently, all of the resources he found there were available for him to take.
A smile flashed on Lu Xuan’s face.
Even to its last breath, Ao Chen probably did not expect Lu Xuan to get his hands on the wealth that was acc.u.mulated for establishing the nation of demons.
The first step to do so was to have the Myriad Demon Valley completely fall into his hands.
Lu Xuan did not dare to linger any longer and walked up to that barrier. As he opened his eyes, he revealed within them golden fluctuating lights, along with many secrets of the barrier itself.
Because of his Delusion-breaker Eyes, hardly anything could be kept a secret from him.
When coupled with the knowledge he had acc.u.mulated from being a Celestial Lord, that ability enabled him to easily comprehend all the secrets within.
It did not take long for him to find out all of that barrier’s secrets for himself.
As Lu Xuan flashed a smile, he extended his hand towards that barrier that had separated that area from the rest of the Myriad Demon Valley. This itself was the very cage where Ao Chen spent a lifetime in imprisonment before finally being able to break out of it.
n.o.body knew how, but he had unexpectedly managed to create an opening with ease.
That was not done through violence; it was because Lu Xuan had completely understood all of the barrier’s secrets. Using the rules at which the barrier ran, he successfully broke through it.
He knew just as much about the barrier as the one who established it in the first place.
All the monsters were left dumbfounded at the sight of him opening the barrier so easily and walking out. They were so stunned that none of them managed to react in time.
Just then, countless monsters began to roar and howl as they immediately pounced onto Lu Xuan.
That ma.s.sive wolf was the first of the monsters present to charge towards Lu Xuan.
It moved like a bolt of lightning, appearing right before Lu Xuan in the blink of an eye.
However, Lu Xuan nonchalantly grasped at the air before him. A terrifying huge hand was conjured in the air right away.
Boom!
That ma.s.sive wolf had opened its big mouth. It was only inches away from biting down on Lu Xuan before it was clapped and instantly pinned to the ground.
Simply put, that ma.s.sive hand had securely nailed that ma.s.sive wolf to the ground.
It struggled on the ground as it tried to rise to its feet, but its head was pinned tightly on the ground. Despite how strong it was, he was unable to shake his head free from the hand’s grasp.
That monster could only continue to howl away as it attempted to shake itself free from that huge hand.
Lu Xuan did not stop there. He then conjured one ma.s.sive hand after another, which were then all sent lashing out at the other monsters around.
