Chapter 663: Neither Human, Demon, nor Devil, Thus, the Heavenforge Demonic Lord

Within the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, countless strange beasts roamed and dwelled.

A squirrel with a body of emerald green leaped onto a jade tree, chattering as it nibbled on the tree's freshest branches.

Suddenly, it paused in its chewing, looking around in confusion.

A gentle breeze seemed to brush past.

Huff...

When it looked again, it couldn't see anything, and the green squirrel scratched its mouth in puzzlement.

A faint light glided along the ground and turned to glance at the little squirrel.

"This strange beast has keen senses, but it's still no match for that Red-Robed Daoist. It actually sensed me and almost discovered my true form..."

Yu Ya slowed down, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.

The red robe, the domain, the flying sword, the azure palm, the domineering fire-attributed spiritual power, and especially those eyes containing the stars and moon! When did such a figure appear in the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm?

He could instantly kill three cultivators of the same level with just the sixth layer of the Golden Core realm, and even slay a powerful cultivator at the ninth layer of the Golden Core realm!

If this were to be told, no one would believe it.

"I was planning to divert the trouble elsewhere and kill with a borrowed knife, and then seize the Supreme Nine Sun Yin Gold afterward. But I almost got caught."

"Those eyes..."

Yu Ya swallowed her saliva, her slender body trembling slightly.

The Crimson Corpse Ascetic was by no means weak! Even in a direct confrontation, her odds of victory against him were only slightly better than 60%. Especially with his control over two refined corpses comparable to the Late Golden Core stage, if they formed a siege, it would be difficult to predict the outcome, let alone a 60% chance.

But such an existence was defeated by the Red-Robed Daoist in just three rounds, and his life ended.

"A peculiar range spell that affects spiritual power manipulation, somewhat similar to the domain of a Nascent Soul True Man."

"An instant burst of extreme speed, like a thunderclap in the sky."

"In silence, a spell that unfolds upon eye contact, and an extremely acute sense of perception."

"This person is my perfect counter! If I don't encounter him again, it's fine, but if I do, I must not confront him."

In a short moment, Yu Ya analyzed the Red-Robed Daoist's various methods based on her previous observations and reached a conclusion.

Suddenly, she stopped at an abandoned cave.

Yu Ya's face showed a mix of emotions.

"With the opening of this secret realm, countless powerful cultivators have been drawn to explore it. Even a Golden Core cultivator I've never heard of is so formidable, let alone those with renowned reputations."

"I thought that with my advanced Shadow Concealment Technique, I could navigate this secret realm like a fish in water. But now it seems like a pipe dream."

"No, my current methods are insufficient. I need to improve further!"

"Fortunately, I have a treasure that can elevate my concealment technique."

The woman lifted her hood, revealing a delicate yet dark face. She waved her hand, and the blue derivative lead appeared.

With this object, not only could her concealment technique become more powerful, but she could also artificially create shadows, breaking free from the innate constraints of the Shadow Concealment Technique.

If she truly cultivated to that level, not only would the Red-Robed Daoist be unable to detect her, but even a Nascent Soul True Man might struggle to sense her true form.

After making her decision, Yu Ya no longer hesitated and stepped into the abandoned cave.

...

The very center of the Demon Annihilation Land.

A towering dragon vortex soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds without rest.

Several figures shot towards it.

Looking up at the massive spiritual energy vortex, their eyes held a hint of reverence.

Leading them was a handsome man dressed in blood-red robes.

Gazing at the distant vortex for a moment, he said, "I never expected that a powerful demon cultivator would take the lead and enter the inheritance site ahead of us."

Behind him, a cold and aloof young woman spoke, "If it weren't for your insistence on gathering resources, the Sea Corner Heavenly Granny wouldn't have gotten there first."

The handsome man smiled, "Fie Leng, don't worry. If this inheritance were truly that valuable, my Demonic Origin Sect would have obtained it a thousand years ago. It's not our turn yet."

This cold-faced woman was none other than the renowned Fie Leng Fairy from the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm.

She frowned, "Blood Nightmare, I don't care about the inheritance. I'm only looking for something that was lost there years ago."

"What is it that you can't forget?" Blood Nightmare Demon was filled with curiosity.

"Just a painting!"

Fie Leng Fairy replied briefly, showing no intention of elaborating further.

Blood Nightmare Demon smiled, "Never mind. Since I promised you, I will keep my word. Besides, I also want to find the place where our sect's ancestor entered seclusion. Let's go, we'll use the teleportation array first. That inheritance site is in another world, and without the array, we can't enter."

With a wave of his hand, he took the lead and walked forward.

Fie Leng Fairy followed closely, but after a few steps, she furrowed her brows and turned back.

"Elder Third?"

Behind them was an elder with a dignified air of a Daoist immortal.

His name was Ji Yuan, from the Penglai Immortal Sect.

He looked back at the scenery with a hint of reluctance, "What a pity to leave behind countless heavenly treasures and earthly treasures in the Demon Annihilation Land.

Fie Leng Fairy frowned slightly, well aware that once they entered the land of inheritance, there would be no turning back.

This secret realm contained countless treasures rarely seen in the outside world, and even for Nascent Soul True Men like them, they were extremely precious.

It was understandable that Elder Ji Yuan was a little reluctant on his first visit.

Blood Nightmare Demon spoke without turning his head, "These trivial matters can be left to the younger generation to collect for us. The most important thing for us now is to enter the land of inheritance and seek the opportunity for Nascent Soul Transformation.

As soon as the four characters of "Nascent Soul Transformation" were spoken, Elder Ji Yuan finally dispelled his greed.

It wasn't that he dispelled it, but rather, he became even greedier.

"Blood Nightmare, you're right. I was shortsighted, let's go!"

Elder Ji Yuan smiled and followed the footsteps of the three, arriving at the tail end of the Spiritual Energy Dragon Vortex.

Within a deep and dark abyss.

As soon as they landed, Elder Ji Yuan anxiously examined their surroundings.

The abyss was silent and still, devoid of any signs of life.

Only mushrooms grew in the crevices of the mountain walls.

"Strange?"

Elder Ji Yuan plucked a mushroom, filled with confusion.

"This place is where the Spiritual Energy flows in reverse, yet these mushrooms show no signs of it. Why is that?"

Blood Nightmare Demon was also puzzled. His understanding of the Demon Annihilation Land came mostly from the sect's records, and this was his first time entering.

If one were to talk about familiarity with this place, it would be Fairy Fie Leng, who had been here once before.

As their gazes met, Fie Leng Fairy let out a soft snort.

"Don't look at me. This place is strange, and I don't know much about it. Moreover, when I came here before, I was only at the Late Golden Core stage, and I was treated as..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her face already showed a troubled expression.

Blood Nightmare Demon waved his hand, "Never mind, let's not talk about this for now. Let's prepare to go in!"

"How do we get in?" Elder Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Blood Nightmare Demon took a deep breath and pointed to the bottomless abyss.

"This abyss has no end. Usually, when one enters, they will get lost within. Only when the ruins open and the Spiritual Energy flows in reverse, forming a vortex, will a teleportation array appear."

"We just need to jump into the vortex and swim against the flow, and we'll find the teleportation array."

"I'm right, aren't I, Fairy Fie Leng?"

The woman nodded, "Indeed, that's how it is. But I want to point out that when you go in, don't resist. Treat yourself as a part of the Spiritual Energy. Otherwise, you'll be rejected by the array."

Upon hearing this, Elder Ji Yuan's face changed slightly.

"Such violent Spiritual Energy, if we don't resist, we might not die, but we'll definitely be severely injured!"

Blood Nightmare Demon looked at him calmly, his eyes showing a silent understanding.

Fairy Fie Leng spoke softly, "It's simple. Just unfold your Nascent Soul Domain and briefly merge with the Spiritual Energy."

So that's how it is!

Elder Ji Yuan suddenly understood.

Although merging with the Spiritual Energy was risky for a Nascent Soul, if it was only for a short time, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Let's go!"

Blood Nightmare Demon waved his wide sleeves and leaped into the violent vortex, with the other two closely following.

As the three of them entered, a rumbling sound echoed from the depths of the abyss.

In the midst of the rumbling sound, a crack in the cliff revealed something like a ball of flesh, its body trembling.

As its body trembled, some dust was scattered.

Most of it fell into the abyss.

A small portion clung to the cliff wall, forming either green moss or tiny mushrooms.

Only a very small number were swept out of the abyss by the violent wind created by the Spiritual Energy vortex.

As these things were shaken out, the ball of flesh's aura weakened slightly.

It resentfully glanced at the bottomless abyss and then turned its gaze from the dark, sunless crack to the outside world.

"They're coming, they're coming."

...

"The Demon Annihilation Land has three heavens: Forgetful Heaven, Five Elements World, and another called Bright Heaven, also known as Bright Heaven."

"Forgetful Heaven, you've seen it. It's filled with countless illusions, a five-colored confusion that can easily trap the unwary. Especially those with unsteady Dao hearts and incomplete souls, they can easily be trapped within. Ding Yi, that's how he died. In his early years, his soul was injured by my residual resentment, preventing him from passing through Forgetful Heaven."

"That place is also a natural barrier separating this place from the outside world. It's said that Forgetful Heaven wasn't set up to guard against cultivators but was established for the legendary Heaven Demon. Inside, you didn't even trigger the greatest power of Forgetful Heaven; what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg."

"I haven't been to Bright Heaven. But that's where the human cultivators call the land of inheritance. Over the past thousand years, I've seen many powerful Demon Sect experts enter, and there have even been Nascent Soul Transformation Great Beings!"

Three fleeing lights carefully flew through the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range.

They tried to avoid the towering peaks and also stayed away from areas where powerful beasts resided.

The Great Year occupying Ding Yi's physical body satisfied Luo Chen's curiosity, explaining the layout of this secret realm.

Luo Chen listened attentively, interrupting whenever he encountered something unclear to ask for more details.

When he learned that they had not triggered Forgetful Heaven's greatest power, a sense of relief filled his heart.

The Great Year was somewhat surprised, "You said you encountered Mindcloud Illusion?"

Luo Chen was puzzled, "Is there something inappropriate about that?"

The Great Year hesitated, "Mindcloud Illusion, as I recall, is a barrier set up by the Heaven Demon. You..."

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave's eyes widened in fear, "Demon Lord, you're not a Heaven Demon, are you?!"

Luo Chen's expression turned stern, and he hummed, "Have you ever seen a Heaven Demon at the Core Formation stage?"

That was true!

According to rumors, Heaven Demons were formless and incorporeal, capable of traversing the power of interfaces.

They rarely appeared and only emerged during tribulations when the heavens and the cultivator's divine soul merged.

Luo Chen was only at the Core Formation stage; how could he be a Heaven Demon?

The Great Year realized, "I guess your killing intent was too heavy, and your mind was clouded, which accidentally triggered Mindcloud Illusion!"

Luo Chen pouted, "Tell me about the so-called Five Elements World during these three days!"

His face showed indifference, but his heart was filled with shadows.

The Great Year cleared his throat and began to explain what the Five Elements World was.

"The master of this place has an incredibly high cultivation base and is unfathomable. Using the power of the Five Elements rules, he divided the realm into five domains: Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, Wood Heaven Plain, Yue Canglan, Blazing Hell, and Sandy Sea. In each of these domains, a large amount of Five Elements essence is condensed. Moreover, with his great abilities, he transforms the Five Elements essence into spirits, causing the five domains to circulate endlessly."

"When these five domains are combined, they form the Five Elements World!"

These few words were like thunder, shocking everyone.

Especially Luo Chen and Han Zhan, who was residing within him, their faces showed disbelief.

They paused mid-air.

"How is this possible? Even if he's a True Monarch of Essence Refinement, it's impossible to master the power of five element rules, let alone transform spirits!"

The Great Year also stopped, his eyes filled with wonder, and he said, "He's a True Monarch of Essence Refinement, but not an ordinary one. He's the most extraordinary True Monarch of Essence Refinement throughout history."

What kind of gaze was that? It was filled with reverence, admiration, and longing, mixed with resentment and fear.

Various emotions were present.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave shook his head, "If that's the case, mastering five element rules is indeed terrifying."

"Not just five elements!"

As Luo Chen and the others were shocked, the Great Year whispered, "The True Monarch is a once-in-a-million-year genius. Cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking for him. At the very least, I've seen him display no less than ten types of rule power."

Luo Chen's mouth twitched, "Friend Great Year, are you still talking about a human?"

He felt that the Great Year was intentionally exaggerating the realm's master to scare them.

However, the Great Year nodded matter-of-factly.

"He's not human, but a demon, half-human, and half-demon! He even has the bloodline of a Heaven Demon! Of course, you can also say he's neither human nor demon nor spirit."

This time, Luo Chen fell silent.

After a long while, he asked softly, "What's his name?"

"The True Monarch's name is beyond my knowledge. But I once heard a supreme expert who broke into this realm call him Heavenforge Demonic Lord!"

Heavenforge Demonic Lord!

As Luo Chen silently repeated the title, he continued his journey.

No wonder this place was called the Demon Annihilation Land.

The master of this realm was a powerful demon.

He wanted to ask for more information, but the Great Year was unwilling to say more.

Or perhaps, he didn't know much more.

According to the Great Year's explanation, most of the beings in this realm were spirits transformed by the Heavenforge Demonic Lord's great abilities, and a few, like the Great Year, had gradually developed spiritual intelligence after living here for a long time.

For example, the Five Elements Lotus Platform could be considered the Great Year's junior.

However, after finally developing some spiritual intelligence, they hadn't even reached the fifth stage when they were targeted by Luo Chen and his group.

Since the Great Year had been in this realm since gaining consciousness, his knowledge of the Heavenforge Demonic Lord's life was limited.

What he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Five days later.

Three figures descended upon a low hill.

Behind them stood the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, like a forest of sharp swords.

"Within the Five Elements World, the Thousand Ridges Mountain Range is the most dangerous and perilous. Over the years, even powerful experts from the Demonic Origin Sect who entered to explore dared not be too reckless. Inside, there are numerous powerful fourth-stage exotic beasts, and even a slumbering fifth-stage Iron Devouring Exotic Beast."

"The route we're heading towards is Blazing Hell. Your Five Elements Lotus Platform is currently within the hellish realm."

The Great Year took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Luo Chen looked into the distance but saw only the Sandy Sea, not the hellish realm.

"Let's cross this Sandy Sea first!"
