Chapter 1940: Chapter 1805: Discovering the Cause
No one knew that the core area of the vast Demon Beast Forest turned out to be a desert.
This was too bizarre.
You have to know, the entire Demon Beast Forest has a warm and humid climate with a lot of rainfall.
Even if there are four seasons, there should absolutely not be a desert.
Unless...
This desert is a remnant from ancient times, created by a strong people during the world-ending battle.
Besides this, Ye Fan couldn’t think of any reason to explain this phenomenon.
"Roar..."
Just as Ye Fan was amazed, a tremendous roar echoed through the heavens and the earth, making him dizzy and the other nine people at the desert’s edge shocked beyond comparison, all soaring into the sky to see what was happening.
"Rumble..."
The earth shook, massive cracks extended far away, and an extremely frightening aura spread!
"Roar..."
All the Demon Beasts let out terrified roars, many rushed to escape, forming a terrifying torrent in the Demon Beast Forest.
Under the fear of death, these beasts became frenzied, destroying anything blocking their way.
Some weaker Demon Beasts died miserably under the fangs and claws of their fellows.
Ye Fan felt immense pressure, even greater than when facing a Quasi-Emperor.
"Could an Emperor Level Demon Beast be emerging in the desert center?"
Ye Fan was beyond shocked.
He had never met a real Emperor, nor did he know how strong the aura emitted by a true Emperor was.
But, he hadn’t felt such terrifying pressure from the old bastard and others.
Faced with this gigantic creature, Ye Fan felt insignificant for the first time.
If even he felt so, the nine strongest heirs of the demon world’s ten great families fared worse, swaying in the air, almost falling down headfirst.
The fierce aura was vast between heaven and earth, reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworld!
Ye Fan saw, deep in the desert, a gigantic humanoid slowly crawling out from underground, shrouded in black corpse energy.
"This is..."
Ye Fan was shocked. The monster before him, apart from its humanoid features identical to humans, or rather to the Demon Clan, could not be considered human.
Because...
Its body was too large, standing a thousand zhang tall, like a giant mountain, emitting an overwhelming aura.
"Roar..."
The figure that stood up roared at the sky, its voice resonating through the Nine Heavens, eyes shooting two blood-colored divine radiance, opening its mouth to inhale endless Death Energy, which turned into a hurricane entering its mouth.
"A conservative estimate would be late-stage Venerable Realm, possibly a peak strong people!"
With its actions, Ye Fan gradually deduced that this giant’s true strength was likely comparable to a Supreme Holy Master.
But the aura it emitted was too powerful, especially when it just emerged, the fierce evil aura seemed to have condensed by slaughtering billions of beings!
"This should be a true human strong people, but the corpse underwent some kind of corpse mutation, no longer the original self!"
Ye Fan made this judgment.
He felt a distinctly human aura from its body, but the aura was too faint and would likely soon vanish.
Yet Ye Fan was certain it wasn’t a humanoid creature, as the body differed greatly in essence from humanoid creatures!
In an instant, the terrifying corpse energy spread over a hundred thousand miles, shadowing the sky.
Yet the body seemed just awakened, its mind not yet restored, its movements somewhat clumsy.
Whizz!
Ye Fan didn’t linger, fully unleashing the Chasing Star Step, turning into a Flowing Light, retreating along the original path.
Since the cause of the Demon Beast riot was clear, there was no need to stay and take risks; he didn’t believe this giant would spare him for being human.
Along the way, Ye Fan saw countless Demon Beasts trampling each other, fleeing in panic.
The bloody scent filled the entire Demon Beast Forest, and mutilated Demon Beast corpses could be seen everywhere.
These Demon Beasts saw Ye Fan but didn’t attack him, for everyone was escaping for their lives!
"Roar..."
The thousand-zhang tall colossus, after a brief daze, caught up, moving with lightning speed, turning vast forests to dust beneath its feet.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Every step the giant took felt like an earthquake, shaking the entire ground.
Soon, a group of powerful Demon Beasts were caught up to.
It didn’t catch them but opened its mouth to inhale, turning its massive mouth into a black hole, creating a horrific suction, swallowing hundreds of powerful beasts along with some dirt and sand.
"Oh my..."
This scene horrified the nine strongest heirs of the demon world’s ten great families, their faces turning pale, using all their strength, lamenting their families lacked faster step techniques and secret techniques.
If caught, there would be nearly no suspense, certainly devoured in one bite.
Not just them, even their Family Heads, or the Supreme Elders would struggle to handle this terrifying giant.
On the ground, other participating demon clan young elites faced misfortune, immediately devoured if they were ahead of the Demon Beasts.
Everyone fled desperately towards the Demon Beast Forest’s edge.
At this point, no one held back, and the level of strength quickly became evident.
Although some wise demon clan elites never ventured into the core area of the Demon Beast Forest, instead hovering on the outskirts, they too were affected.
Even the sky was unsafe, with numerous flying Demon Beasts crashing about like headless flies, immediately tearing apart any demon clan cultivators they encountered.
"Help...!"
A scream came from the strongest heir of a weak family from a remote area, and in an instant, he was overwhelmed by the raging beast tide.
After the beast tide passed, only bloodstains remained on the ground, and not even a corpse could be found.
The demon beasts, although fleeing for their lives, still took bites when encountering food within reach.
Moreover, most of the demon beasts were so large that they could swallow a Demon Clan cultivator in one bite.
Nine strongest heirs from the Ten Great Families of the Demon World took the lead, flying rapidly through the air, each followed by a large group of young elites from other clans.
Among everyone, Ye Fan was the safest. His speed was so fast it seemed like teleportation; a single flash covered a thousand meters, and no demon beast could catch up to him.
Two days later, he had left everyone far behind.
Three days later, Ye Fan finally flew out from the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, reaching its outskirts.
Only then did he exhale a long breath, hunted a demon beast, and started a fire by a small river to roast the beast and satisfy his hunger.
"Are you stupid?"
As Ye Fan feasted, he heard Bai Yan wolf’s mocking voice in his mind.
Ye Fan was taken aback and replied to Bai Yan wolf with divine consciousness, "What do you mean?"
"Why aren’t you using the transmission array platform? Are you practicing your Chasing Star Step?" Bai Yan wolf said mockingly.
"Plop!"
The roast meat in Ye Fan’s hand slipped, and his expression turned quite colorful.
"...You dead wolf, why didn’t you remind me earlier?"
Ye Fan was extremely frustrated. He had transmission array platforms with him, and more than one, but hadn’t thought to use them to traverse the void.
No doubt, others must have used their transmission platforms to return after avoiding the initial danger.
Only he was foolishly racing with the demon beasts using his Chasing Star Step.
"Did you think of it long ago and are you deliberately making fun of me?" Ye Fan questioned Bai Yan wolf fiercely with divine consciousness.
"Yes!"
Bai Yan wolf responded quite crisply, leaving him speechless.
He realized there was nothing he could do about this guy now, couldn’t let it out, nor could he go into the Virtual Space to teach it a lesson.
Moreover, the time flow in Virtual Space is not synchronized with reality. He had been in this world for almost half a year now, and who knew how much this guy had grown in the Virtual Space?
He might go in only to fail to teach it a lesson and instead get taught by it; that would be counterproductive.
"Fine, you win. Just wait, you’ll never get that demon can!"
Ye Fan declared fiercely.
After defeating Mo Yangwang, Bai Yan wolf had persistently wanted Ye Fan to send that Earth Pot into the Virtual Space for it to study, but he had never agreed.
Because he realized that this Earth Pot was quite extraordinary!
What kind of clay could make such an Earth Pot that even the Killing Light of a Killing Array couldn’t break?
Ye Fan strongly suspected that this Earth Pot was made from the flesh and blood of some supreme strong person because he could feel a sky-high evil aura emanating from it.
...
After a brief stay, Ye Fan immediately returned to Ancient Demon City and walked straight to the City Lord Mansion, passing unobstructed along the way.
In the living room of the City Lord Mansion, Ye Fan met the silver-haired City Lord Ancient Demon King!
"City Lord, this is the reason for the demon beast riot."
Ye Fan didn’t waste words and directly implanted his memories from encountering the Sand Python until he left into the Ancient Demon King’s sea of consciousness.
What he had experienced, he had experienced, and memories do not lie. He believed the Ancient Demon King could discern the genuineness of this memory.
"Very good, you’re the Zi Yefan reported by the Purple Demon Family, right? I remember you!" The white-haired City Lord said with a smile.
"Yes, City Lord!"
Ye Fan appeared neither overbearing nor servile, facing calmly, but his heart was in his throat, deeply afraid of being discovered by the powerful Ancient Demon King for the vitality within him.
"Not bad, you’re a good seedling. I never thought the Purple Demon Family could cultivate such an outstanding heir. You may go now; from now on, you’re a seed candidate."
The Ancient Demon King’s eyes shone with strange light, and he waved Ye Fan away.
"Yes, City Lord!"
Ye Fan secretly exhaled and then turned to leave.
Watching Ye Fan’s departing back, the Ancient Demon King fell into deep thought. He had been paying attention to Ye Fan for a long time, aware of the scolding of Xingtian and the killing of Mo Yangsheng.
This time, the elimination round in the Demon Beast Forest was actually his way of testing Ye Fan.
The Demon World has its own laws; growing up through bloody slaughter requires strength, wisdom, and luck, without exception.
If Ye Fan couldn’t survive this brutal elimination and ranked among the top one hundred, he would be worthless.
Yet now, not only did Ye Fan survive, but he also became one of the ten who discovered the reason for the demon beast riot, which was quite unexpected for him.
What amazed him most was that when facing the giant python a hundred feet long, Ye Fan did not timidly retreat but courageously fought back!
Even the strongest heirs of the nine major families couldn’t do that!
...
While the Ancient Demon King was astonished by Ye Fan’s strength and courage, Ye Fan was also taking a long breath.
"Unless encountering strong people at the Quasi-Emperor Realm or above, my identity shouldn’t be exposed!"
As he left the City Lord Mansion, Ye Fan thought to himself, "This way, as long as I smoothly make it into the top ten, I can leave this awful place!"
...
