They had already made their move, and stopping now was easier said than done, so they had to continue reluctantly.
However, a moment later, by this time, the players had exhausted most of their strength, yet they still hadnât caused any harm to the middle-aged man.
Even the ordinary players were becoming aware of the problem.
The five exchanged glances without any hesitation and retreated together.
âRetreat!â
At a low shout, the players who were still attacking were startled, but they quickly realized what was happening and retreated explosively.
âYou think you can come and go as you please? Youâre really underestimating me,â the middle-aged man said with a gap-toothed smile, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, he made his move.
Demonic Qi transformed into a sweeping sword, and where it passed, many players had no power to resist and were killed on the spot.

âNo good! Everyone run, this demon beast is not Xuan-level, itâs King Level!â
The leading five Xuan-level players paled, sensing the aura of the middle-aged man, and their hearts sank instantly.
âWhat? King Level?â
The others caught on, instantly panicked. The previously well-trained team crumbled in an instant, becoming a mess, and the players watching from a distance fled in a sorry state.
Many players who had completed a Daily Task made a split-second decision and immediately quit the game.
But for those who hadnât completed their tasks, they had no choice but to run for their lives.
Su Nan stood still, quietly watching the middle-aged man, which was extremely conspicuous amid the chaos of the valley at that time.
âLittle guy, are you scared silly? Hahaha, donât worry, I wonât kill you outright. Iâll make you my puppet, just like them,â the middle-aged demonic beast said with a smile to Su Nan.
He, too, noticed Su Nan and smiled at him, baring his teeth.
With a wave of his hand, the Demonic Qi shrouding the town in the valley dissipated, revealing figures standing in front of the town.
Those were the original residents of the town, but now they were all expressionless.
Undoubtedly, these people had been eroded by Demonic Qi, turned into puppets by the middle-aged man.
Su Nan also smiled faintly, his expression unchanged.
âArenât you afraid?â Seeing Su Nan like this, the middle-aged manâs brow furrowed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Su Nan said, âWhy should I be afraid? Shouldnât you be the one whoâs afraid?â
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged manâs heart sank. He looked at the players who were fleeing in all directions and then back at Su Nan, instantly considering a possibility: âIt seems youâre the real person sent by Shenxue Gate.â
Su Nan said, âYouâre thinking too much. Iâm not a person from Shenxue Gate.â
âOh? Youâre not from Shenxue Gate? Then are you from the Divine Heart Palace? Or from Zihuang Valley?â
Su Nan didnât answer, just shook his head slightly.
âNone of them?â
âI hate it when people beat around the bush with me!â The middle-aged man became angry, no longer wasting words, and suddenly charged at Su Nan.
To deal with a King Class, Su Nan didnât need any superfluous actionsâhis hand swept out, Power of Heaven and Earth converged, turning into a massive hand that formed a cage, gripping the middle-aged man tightly.
âYouâre Emperor-level!â Overcome by a sense of imminent danger, the middle-aged manâs face changed drastically. Without a second thought, he burst out with all his strength, breaking the hand that Su Nan had formed and turning to flee.
But Su Nan had no intention of letting him get away.
Under Su Nanâs control, the middle-aged demonic beast was easily suppressed, as if he were a child.
Afterward, Su Nan grabbed the middle-aged man and turned to leave directly.
The farce came to an end, to everyoneâs surprise.
Only after Su Nan had departed did the remaining players come to their senses, all of them dumbfounded; nobody had expected that among all the ordinary players, a hidden expert lurked.
More than ten minutes later.
Su Nan had brought the middle-aged demonic beast dozens of miles away.
âWho exactly are you!â The middle-aged demonic beast asked in a mix of anger and fear, attempting to resist.
âHow many demon beasts like you, who transitioned from martial artists after birth, are there in Tianjue Province?â Su Nan inquired.
Originally, he had sought out this demonic beast to find Emperor-level demonic beasts to cultivate the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.
â`
But from his previous foreknowledge, he had already learned where the Emperor-level demonic beasts could be found, so there was no need to press the middle-aged man further. What he wanted to know now was where there were even more demonic beasts.
âYou want to find our Demon God Palace? I advise you to abandon this thought. Anyone who dares to covet our Demon God Palace is dead!â The middle-aged man, as if recalling something, said coldly.
âDemon God Palace!â Su Nanâs eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
He had originally thought that the influence of the Demon God Palace was only in East Chen, but unexpectedly, Tianjue Province also had their presence.
From this, it seemed that not only Dongchen State and Tianjue Province, but the entire Twelve States might have the existence of the Demon God Palace.
âSince you are a member of the Demon God Palace, thatâs even better.â Su Nan gave a faint smile. He did not continue to question the middle-aged man but directly invaded his Divine Soul with a powerful force.
He was forcibly extracting the memories of the middle-aged demonic beast.
âAh! You should die!â Realizing what Su Nan was doing, the middle-aged manâs face twisted in fury, trying to struggle.
A moment later, Su Nan obtained a lot of information related to the Demon God Palace.
âInteresting, the Demon God Palace is actually helping martial artists become demonic beasts.â
Surprise flashed again in Su Nanâs eyes.
The middle-aged man was named Tan Wu, a former disciple of Shenxue Gate. However, during the bloodline fusion process, his bloodline had clashed, and he nearly lost control.
Afterwards, by a stroke of luck, he encountered the Demon God Palace and with their help, he became a demonic beast.
In his memory, the Demon God Palace not only tried to release suppressed demonic beasts but was also constantly creating demonic beasts; in fact, all demonic beasts transformed from martial artists after the fact were members of the Demon God Palace.
In Tianjue Province alone, the members of the Demon God Palace had reached over a hundred.
âBone Mountain.â
âThe headquarters of the Demon God Palace in Tianjue Province is at Bone Mountain.â Su Nanâs eyes shimmered slightly, and he had an idea.
Looking back at Tan Wu, worthy of being a demonic beast, he had a strong Divine Soul. Even after forcibly extracting memories, he was only slightly uncomfortable.
Recovering, Tan Wu glared at Su Nan with grinding teeth: âYouâre as good as dead. Offending our Demon God Palace, no matter who you are, youâre as good as dead.â
âWhether I will die or not, I do not know, but what I do know is that you definitely will die.â
Today there was no Daily Task refreshed for hunting demonic beasts, but that did not affect his decision to take action.
Knowing the location of the Demon God Palace, capturing a few demonic beasts would be all too easy.
The God and Demon Sky Devour technique was activated, and rolling Demonic Qi burrowed into Tan Wuâs body.
âDemon Race! How is that possible? How are you also of the Demon Race!â Tan Wuâs eyes were wide open, staring dead at Su Nan, filled with disbelief.
Until his death, he couldnât understand why Su Nan, a demonic beast like himself, would turn against him.
[Congratulations, you have devoured a King-class Demonic Beast using the God and Demon Sky Devour and gained 200 points of Demon Race Luck.]
Like the Qi Luck contributed by the previously devoured Demonic Emperor, it was only 200 points, but this demonic beast was only King-class.
This undoubtedly proved his previous conjecture: the efficiency of converting Qi Luck by devouring members of the Demon Race was indeed higher than that of devouring members of the demon clan.
And that wasnât even the most important thing. The most critical point was that after devouring the middle-aged beast, he once again felt a surge of Strength within him that could be used to advance the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra!
Su Nan could clearly feel the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra growing rapidly.
âIf devouring demonic beasts can directly enhance the Demon Scripture, doesnât this mean that I can break through without devouring Emperor-level demonic beasts, and still advance the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra?â
Breaking through to the fifth level of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra required the devouring of three Emperor-level demonic beasts. This was a limitation of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra, not something he could compensate for by devouring King-level beasts.
Originally, no matter how many King-level beasts he devoured, unless he devoured Emperor-level beasts, there was no way the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra could improve.
But now, the devouring of a single King-level beast had resulted in the advancement of his Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra.
He even felt that without devouring Emperor-level beasts, as long as he could get a few more King-level beasts, he could still make the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra break through!
What did this mean?
It meant that relying on the God and Demon Sky Devour, his Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra could ascend without limit!
âTo break through to the sixth layer of the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra, one must devour three Saint-level demonic beasts.â
âOnce I break through to the fifth layer, for a long time to come, I wonât be able to advance the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra further, because there are no Saint-level beasts for me to devour.â
âBut now, even without Saint-level beasts, I still seem to have a chance to elevate the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra to the sixth level!â
Thoughts flashing rapidly, Su Nanâs breathing grew somewhat hurried.
Perhaps one day, relying on the God and Demon Sky Devour, and the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra, he truly could become a Saint-level existence!
