He only knew that it would be soon.
Soon, but even the Bone Demon didnât know how long it would take.
Therefore, in his invisible and ethereal state, Su Jingxing avoided the Half-Demons in the Demon Cloud Forest and chose to hide in the crown of a dense ancient tree. He waited patiently.
To prevent the demonic creatures from passing through the dark door and entering the Demonâs Den again, the Essence Soul in the Yu Nationâs Void World descended and traversed through space to pick up the Blood Doppelganger that was rushing back and bring it to Dongting Mountain.
The Essence Soul returned to the Void World to guard it, while the Blood Doppelganger went to the bottom of the Demonâs Den to guard the Door of Darkness.
After all, Su Jingxing had killed a team of demon slaves, a dozen Half-Demons, and a Half-Demon Overlord.
After the Bone Demon Beasts discovered that, in their rage, there was a 90% chance that they would pass through the Door of Darkness.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, things developed beyond Su Jingxingâs expectations.
Nothing happened.
The Blood Doppelganger guarded the Door of Darkness for several days, and no Half-Demons or demon slaves had passed through it.
It seemed that no one⦠no, none of the demons cared about the whereabouts of the Half-Demons and demon slaves that Su Jingxing had killed.
This surprised Su Jingxing and amused him.
Indeed, according to Baletuodorâs memories, demon slaves would fight and devour each other. Although Half-Demons were slightly better, their relationship was only average. As long as they did not affect other demons, no demon would care about them.
Unless the Half-Demon Overlord above forcefully gave an order.
This saved Su Jingxing a lot of trouble.
In the crown of the ancient tree, less than 200 meters away, he locked onto a Demon Soul Fruit Tree and waited for its fruits to fully ripen.
â¦
Furious Dragon River.
The longest river in the Eastern Continent ran through three countries.
Among them was a section of the border between Zheng Nation and Wei Nation.
The north of the river was the Wei Nation, and the south of the river was the Zheng Nation.
At this moment, downstream of the waters of the Furious Dragon River in the Zheng Nation and Wei Nation, in the depths of a mountain peak that was hundreds of meters deep and close to the river.
âHmph, I knew that Kong fellow was up to no good!â
Luo Ao looked at the extremely quiet Demonâs Den and sneered. âWhere is there any sign of a commotion?â
âDonât be careless.â
On the side, the Wei Nationâs Martial Sage shook his head and said softly, âAlthough the Demonâs Den here hasnât erupted, the aura at the bottom is indeed stronger than before.â
âThatâs the movement of demonic energy. Itâs been thousands of years, when hasnât it been like this?â Luo Ao disagreed.
As the Martial Sage of the Zheng Nation, it was his duty. After receiving Su Jingxingâs reminder, Luo Ao immediately rushed to the Demonâs Den that was located at the border between the Zheng Nation and the Wei Nation to check on the situation.
In the end, nothing happened. The Demonâs Den was very stable.
Luo Ao quickly left and returned to Zheng Nation.
This time, Wei Nationâs Martial Sage was alarmed and invited him over again to check on the situation. Just in case, he made another trip.
The martial arts cultivated by the Martial Sage of the Wei Nation were somewhat special. He could forebode some important matters.
It was precisely because he sensed danger coming from the Demonâs Den that the two of them came to investigate.
âItâs different.â
The Wei Nationâs Martial Sage pondered. âItâs different this time. Something is very wrong.â
âMaybe youâre thinking too much, or maybe you were frightened by that Kong fellow.â
Luo Ao sneered. âWhen the Demonâs Den on his side rioted, he suspected that ours would do the same. Thatâs complete nonsense! The Demonâs Dens are not connected, so how could it be possible for a commotion in one place to lead to that in the other places as well?
âIn my opinion, everyone has been fooled by that Kong fellow! Itâs understandable that there are demonic creatures in the Devilâs Den, but all that talk about the Door of Darkness is pure nonsenseâ¦â
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the entire mountain shook.
In the calm passageway of the Demonâs Den, surging demonic energy surged out like smoke signals, sweeping through the underground space.
âImpossible!â
Luo Aoâs eyes widened in shock. âThat Kong fellow is telling the truth. The Demonâs Den is really in chaos!â
âIf itâs just the demonic energy surging, it wonât affect us much, but ifâ¦â
The Wei Nationâs Martial Sage did not finish his sentence.
But Luo Ao could tell what he meant.
When demonic energy raged, it would at most contaminate the entire mountain.
However, if the demonic creatures were to riot and crawl out of the Demonâs Den, things would be troublesome.
âDemonic creatures, are there really demonic creatures?â
murmured Luo Ao, his gaze fixed on the Demonâs Den.
From above, they avoided the impact of the demonic energy and looked down at the movements in the passageway.
Hu hu hu!
Masses of demonic energy spewed out non-stop.
Luo Ao and the Wei Nationâs Martial Sage glowed to resist the invasion of the demonic energy.
The two of them guarded the entrance of the Demonâs Den and kept their eyes on the passageway.
Finallyââ
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A strange sound like a snake spitting out its tongue came from the passageway of the Demonâs Den. It was getting closer and closer.
Boom!
Accompanied by a foul smell, a huge figure darted out from the cave and attacked Luo Ao.
Swoosh!
Without moving, Luo Ao released a ray of sword energy from his body and struck the figure that was charging towards him.
Bang!
The air exploded and light burst out.
The huge figure was sent flying by the immense force and crashed into the cave wall, creating a pit.
When it slid down the cave wall, its entire appearance was revealed.
The lower half of the snakeâs body and the upper limbs of a human. It had arms, but above them was the head of a snake, the neck of a cobra, and the back of the head was arched.
Its huge body was mainly more than 20 meters long and bloated. At this moment, it was coiled up and sticking out its long snake tongue. Its cold gaze was fixed on Luo Ao and his companion.
Roar!
With a long roar, from the passageway, another oneâ¦
No, two, three figures.
As soon as these three figures appeared, they pounced at Luo Ao and company.
Together with the Snake Demon Beast guarding at the side, there were a total of four demonic creatures. They surrounded the duo and launched an attack.
âKill them!â
Luo Ao shouted angrily. Sword beams bloomed around him as sword energy shot out.
The Wei Nationâs Martial Sage was about the same. His figure flashed as he charged left and right with two crescent blades in hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Sword beam, saber beam, sword energy, and saber energy filled the underground space.
Although the four demonic creatures had astonishing defense, they were still no match for Luo Ao and company. They were slashed into pieces one after another, becoming deader than dead.
The overflowing demonic energy lingered in the air for a long time.
âD*mned demonic creatures.â
Retracting his sword energy, Luo Ao lowered his head and looked down at the Demonâs Den. He focused his vision and pointed at the bottom of the den.
Soon, his expression turned grim. âThere are many more of these snake demons below. We canât let them come up!â
With that, he jumped into the den.
Buzz!
The air rattled as sword beams bloomed.
Materialized sword energy surrounded Luo Aoâs body and wrapped around him. As he fell, he crashed into the Snake Demon Beasts climbing up.
In an instantââ
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The blade-like sword energy spun rapidly and killed many beasts.
Luo Ao endured the pressure and sliced his way to the bottom of the den.
Everywhere it passed, the Snake Demon Beasts were dismembered inch by inch, and blood splattered on the walls.
The demonic energy that seeped out filled the entire corridor.
It wasnât until he passed through the passageway and stepped onto the bottom of the Demonâs Den, standing on the piles of Snake Demon Beast corpses and looking into the distance that Luo Aoâs pupils constricted.
Swoosh!
The saber beam passed through the passageway of the Demonâs Den.
The Martial Sage of Wei came chasing after him.
âBrother Luo, are you alright?â
The Wei Nationâs Martial Sage looked around and said, âWe donât know where these snake demons came from. If we donât figure it outâ¦â
His words trailed off.
His eyes widened as he followed Luo Aoâs gaze and looked towards a tall black door in the distance of underground space where they were. He became stunned.
âRe⦠really?â
The Martial Sage of the Wei Nation gritted his teeth and came back to his senses. He said in shock, âThe new Martial Sage of the Yu Nation, Kong Xuan, was telling the truth. There is really a Door of Darkness under every Demonâs Den!â
â¦
The Void World.
Yu Nationâs region.
Su Jingxingâs Essence Soul thought about what martial art to create.
A sudden thought came to him.?Why should I lean towards a certain attribute or ability?
Why canât this martial art contain everything?
Thatâs right. After much thought, Su Jingxingâs Essence Soul abandoned all the concepts it had come up with during this period of time.
Instead, it put all its ideas together.
Like the sea, it contained everything.
All rivers flow into the sea!
In any case, itâs just a theory. Why not give it a try?
At the thought of this, Su Jingxingâs Essence Soul held back its excitement and following the final idea that had been confirmed, it extended and supplemented logically.
Half an hour later, the theory was completed!
