Chapter 226: Chapter 218: Oblivion (Part 2)

After attaining Enlightenment, one can gather Demon Power and become a Demon Cultivator.

Forest, ocean, desert, hills…

The Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm seems to have no signs of human traces, like a primordial world.

Except for the towering peak at the center—Demon Emperor Mountain.

On Demon Emperor Mountain are cave mansions and buildings with a rather wild and coarse style, and below it, numerous Demon Pill cultivators who have formed half-human bodies but retain demon beast features are busy, establishing several cities.

This is the place that precious Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm cultivators yearn for. Only those who achieve Great Success with their Demon Pill, equivalent to the Human Race’s semi-transformation Foundation Establishment, are qualified to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Cities. Only those who condense a Demon Body equivalent to the Human Race’s Golden Core can enter Demon Emperor Mountain.

Lusi is a small snake demon who has cultivated for 180 years and finally broke through to Great Success in Demon Pill, forming a half-human body and entering the Ten Thousand Demon Cities.

Her human form is one of the most complete among those around, retaining only vertical pupils, a snake tongue, long green hair, and scattered green scales on her cheeks and brow, indicating her bright future and potential to form a Demon Body, becoming a renowned Great Demon King in Demon Emperor Mountain and major demon territories.

Lusi walked into a somewhat shabby but novel-looking tall building among many demon cultivators, with three words carved on it.

“Hundred Treasures Pavilion.”

“These are the Demon Pills and materials I acquired these days, as well as some Demon Spirit Stones I dug up. Let’s see how many can be exchanged for pills and magical artifacts here.”

There weren’t many people inside the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, but those present, like Lusi, were powerful elite Demon Pill cultivators.

Demon Race society remains in the most primitive survival of the fittest stage. Even Lusi and other Demon Pill cultivators hunt each other, using rivals’ Demon Pill and flesh as resources for cultivation growth, slightly better relations exist only among those of the same race.

Lusi watched the hairless monkey ahead take out several Pill Boxes, her gem-like vertical pupils gleaming with a hint of excitement.

Around thirty years ago or so, these Hundred Treasures Pavilion stores started appearing in the Ten Thousand Demon Cities.

Demon cultivators could exchange materials for pills and magical artifacts here.

Like most demon cultivators, Lusi wasn’t interested in those magical artifacts used in battles, but the pills greatly enhanced their cultivation.

This acceleration in cultivation was addictively fascinating, comparable only to directly devouring Demon Pills.

Lusi, like other demon cultivators, freely exchanged large amounts of materials here.

Rumors say these Hundred Treasures Pavilions were established by a race called the Human Race.

Human Race? What kind of race is that? A branch of those filthy monkeys? Furthermore, this Human Race resembles the demon race’s semi-transformed form, sparking curiosity among some demon cultivators.

Yet, there seem to be Demon Kings among the humans, so many demon cultivators dare not provoke them.

“Customer, here are your pills, please keep them well.”

Even though Lusi had visited many times, she still glanced at the humans behind the counter upon hearing these words—such politeness was uncommon among demon cultivators.

Even courtship was straightforward.

“Alright, thank you.”

Lusi also unconsciously responded, a learned habit from a human friend.

However, that guy obviously had feelings for her yet concealed them, which Lusi couldn’t understand.

“Yet, there are more Little Demons appearing since these humans arrived…”

“Not only have I grown stronger, other demons also grew stronger… it was like this when visiting other cities…”

Lusi faintly sensed changes in the Ten Thousand Demon Cities.

In a few hundred years, there would be more powerful figures among demon cultivators, even increasing the number of Demon Kings.

“According to him, what was it called? Cultivation… Hundred Arts? This could increase the efficiency of resource utilization…”

“But whatever, I have only one goal.”

“Become a Demon King.”

Lusi gazed at the sky, her green vertical pupils flashed with determination.

But in the next second, her pupils reflected cracks appearing in the sky.

“Boom——————”

A thunderous roar echoed, and several white lights flashed across the sky.

A massive Demon Bird unfurled its wings in the sky.

Powerful Demon Power shook the space, and even demon cultivators miles below could feel the demon bird’s might in their bloodline.

Demon King!

“Wind Eagle Demon King from Wind Eagle Territory!” Lusi’s mind flashed with the identity of this mighty being in the sky.

Though not as transcendent as the great ones from Demon Emperor Mountain, the Demon Kings of major territories were on par with those on Demon Emperor Mountain.

However, the next second.

That enormous Wind Eagle Demon King was instantly dismembered.

Demon Blood splattered, and the fragmented Demon Body fell to the ground.

The sky changed, darkness descended.

The crack expanded rapidly, densely packed figures emerged from it.

“Hahaha, such high-quality materials aren’t abundant in Sword Mountain River, what a great start!”

A Spiritual Qi hand grabbed the Demon King’s massive Demon Body.

“You take your time here; I’ll go for the top-grade materials…”

Lusi suddenly turned toward Demon Emperor Mountain, where several extremely potent presences awoke.

The presences dissipated the suddenly appearing clouds in the sky, sunlight enveloped the earth once more.

The Thunder Dragon roared, its thousand-meter-long body ascended, flying through the clouds.

The Red Flame Bird soared skyward, flames covered the sky.

The Six-winged Flood Dragon manipulated endless water towards the sky.

………

These were the well-known demon cultivators from Demon Emperor Mountain.

Lusi was witnessing these Demon Kings from Demon Emperor Mountain emerge for the first time.

“Hahaha, good timing!”

“Slash!”

A sharp light blossomed in the sky, Lusi couldn’t articulate this power, but she felt an edge that caused her Demon Soul to tremble.

The Thunder Dragon, the legendary Thousand Thunder Demon King, actually lost a claw.

“That’s mine!”

“Sword come!”

“Beasts, can you withstand my sword!”

“I have one sword…”

Those tiny silhouettes in the sky unleashed an astonishing aura and power.

“Impossible…” Lusi’s mind was a blank in that instant.

“Lusi! We need to go!” A tall man suddenly rushed over from the side, pulling Lusi’s hand to flee, his eyes full of fear.

“Right! It’s you! Those things in the sky look just like you, they’re humans!” Lusi shook his hand off.

“I heard from the Clan Leader that the great ones at Demon Emperor Mountain gave you many good things, why are you harming them! Even the great Wind Eagle Demon King… why do this!”

Lusi’s green eyes were filled with anger.

“We’re nothing like them!”

“They’re maniacs attempting to absorb everything into the Sword Dao!”

“Come with me! I’ll take you out of here, otherwise, after Sword Mountain River slaughters these Demon Kings, they’ll destroy this Secret Realm!”

“Damn it! Who leaked this Secret Realm!”

The tall man’s eyes were bloodshot, sweat trickled down his forehead.

Lusi looked into his eyes, seemingly genuine, her impending aura slowly subsiding.

Nearby demon cultivators saw the humans in the sky were Sword Cultivators and wanted to capture the tall man; Lusi quickly interposed her head, transforming into a snake head, her snake eyes cold and full of killing intent, causing the surrounding demons to disperse.

Lusi was silent amid the booming intensifying war in the sky, with countless small dark shadows distinctly falling toward the Ten Thousand Demon Cities.
