Chapter 337: Chapter 334: Survival
Several years ago,
a disaster struck the Grotto Heaven Ruins buried beneath Wu Family Town, triggering a massive upheaval.
Countless outside Cultivators flooded into the Border Desolate Forest.
Even Demon Cultivators from the Nanyue Kingdom appeared in this land.
The infamous Seven Extremes Old Demon, a master of the Divine Travel Realm,
also made his appearance!
A brutal battle seemed on the verge of erupting.
It was then that
Wu Tianhao’s master, Master Wandering Dragon, arrived.
He fought a great battle against the Seven Extremes Old Demon
and ultimately forced him to retreat.
Later,
Master Wandering Dragon occupied the Grotto Heaven Ruins and, using it as a foundation, established the Dragon Cloud Sect.
Having witnessed that great turmoil from beginning to end, Shen Changchuan
naturally understood the whole affair clearly.
That Seven Extremes Old Demon, whose strength was at the pinnacle and on par with Master Wandering Dragon, had left a deep impression on him.
’Followers of the Seven Extremes Old Demon? Why are they here? Are they seeking revenge for Master’s defeat back then?’
’No... I’m afraid it’s more than just that!’
While cautiously watching the bandaged figure not far away,
Wu Tianhao glanced out of the corner of his eye to the left and deeper into the valley.
In the direction to his left,
three auras of the Soul Emergence Late Stage seemed to be clashing.
One of them was grand and majestic.
’That should be Senior Brother Hong Yang, who was separated from us when we entered the formation. The other two must be enemies.’
’Two facing Senior Brother Hong Yang,’
’plus this Deng Xin in front of me, and the one deeper in the valley who hasn’t made a move for some reason.’
’There are four of them here in total!’
’If the people in the other directions are also disciples of the Seven Extremes Old Demon,’
’that would mean...’
’more than half of the Seven Extremes Old Demon’s forces are gathered here!’
’Even if the Seven Extremes Old Demon doesn’t care about his disciples—’
’rumor has it that even his Direct Disciples are just consumables to him—’
’but those who can occupy the seven Direct Disciple positions’
’can’t possibly be ordinary cannon fodder!’
’To send more than half of his forces here...’
’One wrong move,’
’and it’s possible none of them will make it back!’
’The Seven Extremes Old Demon is cruel,’
’not stupid.’
’He wouldn’t use valuable assets for something worthless!’
’His scheme...’
’It’s definitely not simple!’
’As for what the Seven Extremes Old Demon is planning, perhaps only Master knows.’
’Of course, before any of that, we have to survive this guy first!’
Sweat beaded on Wu Tianhao’s forehead.
He couldn’t help it.
Although they had encountered powerful Demon Beasts at the Soul Emergence Realm Middle Stage in recent days,
and had even managed to escape unharmed several times,
this person before them was different!
Demon Cultivators
live by the naked law of the jungle: the strong devour the weak, and only the fittest survive.
Therefore,
Demon Cultivators pay no heed to morality.
They will do anything that benefits them and increases their strength.
Betrayal, slaughtering mortals to refine treasures, using infants to practice techniques—
all of this is perfectly normal for them!
Because,
in a way, those who commit evil wantonly
are themselves just cultivation resources for even stronger Demon Cultivators!
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat mud...
This is the Demon Dao!
And a Demon Sect
is nothing more than a large-scale Gu Breeding Field!
The Seven Extremes Sect, founded by the Seven Extremes Ancestor, was naturally no different.
Its seven True Disciples
were all survivors who had slaughtered their way out from among the tens of thousands of Outer Sect servants and blood-slaves of the Seven Extremes Sect!
And who knows how many times those positions have changed hands!
A being who clawed their way out of such a cruel environment
would naturally be no weakling!
A Demon Cultivator with such a background
is countless times stronger than a Demon Beast or a Cultivator of the same Realm!
They might be able to escape from a Demon Beast at the Soul Emergence Realm Middle Stage,
but they might not be able to escape from the Demon Cultivator before them!
"Junior Brother, I’m afraid we’ll have to fight to the death this time!"
Wu Tianhao’s Heart Spirit grew incredibly heavy.
"JIE JIE JIE, you have some self-awareness. But it’s a pity. No matter how you struggle, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
The raspy, cold laughter vibrated in the void.
Deng Xin, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, had pupils as black as ink, and his gaze was utterly grim.
But at the same time,
he didn’t make the slightest move.
"Enjoy the last moments of your life. For instance, you could write a letter as your last words. I’ll give you the time."
Deng Xin folded his arms across his chest,
motionless.
He seemed to have no intention of attacking at all.
It was as if he was waiting for something.
But this didn’t lessen the pressure on Wu Tianhao’s heart in the slightest.
Instead, it made his Heart Spirit grow even heavier!
What in the world
was he trying to do?
"Perhaps he’s waiting for the situation with Senior Brother Hong to resolve before he makes a move?"
Shen Changchuan mused, sending a voice transmission to Wu Tianhao.
Wu Tianhao was taken aback for a moment.
He looked at Deng Xin’s figure, who was hovering in mid-air before them.
The man had his arms folded across his chest,
and his eyes weren’t on them.
Instead, he was looking to the left, appearing as if he were enjoying a good show.
"I’m afraid so!"
"I’ve heard that it’s common practice for senior and junior brothers in the Demon Sect to scheme against each other."
"Perhaps his goal is to delay, to let Senior Brother Hong inflict greater casualties on his fellow disciples?"
Although Wu Tianhao’s transmitted words were phrased as a question,
his tone was filled with certainty!
The Demon Sect...
It really was like that!
Thinking this,
Wu Tianhao felt a slight sense of relief.
"In that case, let’s just stay on guard and not make a rash move..."
"We’ll drag this out and wait for Senior Brother Hong to win and come support us!"
Wu Tianhao replied via voice transmission.
Shen Changchuan opened his mouth, feeling some disagreement in his heart, but in the end, he said nothing.
And so,
for a time,
a strange silence fell over the scene.
The bandage-wrapped Deng Xin kept his arms folded, his gaze fixed in the direction of Hong Yang and the others.
On the other side,
Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan remained silent.
The air was deathly still.
But this strange scene did not last long.
After a good while,
BOOM!!!
A surge of blazing sun energy shot into the sky,
its dazzling light illuminating half the sky over the Black Mist Valley.
A powerful wave of energy swept out,
and the ground itself seemed to tremble!
Seeing this,
Deng Xin’s expression changed slightly.
He shifted his gaze back to Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan.
The two of them tensed up at that moment.
"Looks like your senior brother is about to go all out."
"I was planning to drag things out a bit, to let you live a little longer."
"But now, it seems your luck has run out."
The raspy voice sounded as if he were muttering to himself.
Then,
SHING!
His figure vanished in an instant, suddenly reappearing behind Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan.
"Die!"
Pitch-black claws suddenly tore through the air, leaving dark fissures in their wake as they slashed down toward Wu Tianhao and Shen Changchuan’s heads!
