Chapter 2432 - 1416
The Great Demon King dispatched more minions, sending out tens of thousands of poisonous creatures, over 100 subordinates, to eradicate the humans entering his territory.
At the main camp, he initially felt it wasn’t necessary to take action himself.
As long as his minions were capable enough, they could eliminate these more than 100 cultivators.
Actually, he had already discovered earlier that the humans entering now are different; they are not afraid of toxins and even have skills that counteract them.
The Great Demon King refused to admit his abilities were inferior to those human cultivators.
Initially, he was trapped and brought into this Hell Palace by Jiang Tang.
One could only say they were inferior to Jiang Tang but wouldn’t admit they were inferior to other cultivators.
Yuan Xiao’s group faced no substantial obstacles; the more poisonous creatures they killed, the more the toxic mists began to retreat.
They knew there were more hurdles ahead to overcome, sensing a murderous aura closing in from the front.
Previously, they could feel a strong murderous aura, mostly from the poisonous creatures, from organisms emitting lethal energy that came from the toxic Demonic Beasts.
But now, the aura they felt was more from the Demons.
Moreover, the number of demons was similar to their team’s.
And they held many poisonous creatures at their disposal.
These poisonous creatures might just be the Demons’ lethal weapons.
Just like they possess Spiritual Pets, all are pawns in their hands.
Yuan Xiao’s team is not afraid during this battle; the longer they fight, the more the places of light increase, slowly causing the poison to dissipate where the sun shines.
They already felt an even stronger murderous and evil aura looming ahead.
The enemy is actively attacking, waiting for them is an even stronger battle.
Yuan Xiao and his team continued their battles as before, knowing their mana is actually the nemesis of these poisonous Demons.
Although constantly using one ability against them, effectiveness is enough, and they’re not afraid of the enemy discovering their skills; this is their most powerful ability unleashed.
Yuan Xiao’s team uses counter-skills against the poison and Demons here; every spell, every move, every stance makes the enemy feel threatened.
The poisonous insect might spray venom, but it can’t overcome the human cultivators; instead, it’s illuminated by the intense golden light, weakening its power, its body stopped in its tracks, killed by the intense light.
This golden light is a powerful deleter!
Yuan Xiao’s team has more confidence; they’re not at all afraid of the formidable enemy ahead.
The Demons, too, felt their magical powers controlled under the strong combat of human cultivators, unable to move forcefully.
Under the power of the Buddha Light, basking in its radiance, they felt the energy within their bodies dissipating.
Most terrifying to them, their spells can’t harm the humans in front of them.
Unlike previous battles, they can’t exert the efficacy of their mana.
Their abilities are weakened, it’s inherently unfriendly to them.
Under such unequal battles, it’s impossible not to lose.
What they fear most is their mana gradually diminishing, cultivation declining.
From previous reports from their subordinates, they knew this group of human cultivators wasn’t simple.
Sustaining past achievements, they hadn’t considered the possibility of defeat, but with the Great Demon King’s orders, their courageous hunting mindset led them to think their opponent was so strong it’s precisely the type that can seize bodies.
In this territory, whether it’s the Great Demon King or them, they all aspire to leave this Hell Palace.
But they have no way; naturally, they hope to seize bodies quietly, acquire unique bodies, perhaps deceiving the Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace, then leave this Magical Treasure.
According to past experiences of human cultivators entering and exiting, these human cultivators are merely here for divine tribulation.
Initially here for divine tribulation, they only engage in battles without harming them, and the Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace wouldn’t punish them.
But are they content?
Being here, they can dominate one side.
Yet unlike previous methods of seizing human Destiny for cultivation.
Having been here for so long, their abilities haven’t improved much.
The daytime Red Sun might be their method of acquiring energy, but being Demon Cultivators, the energy they cultivate isn’t this type, the Red Sun’s energy doesn’t have much function for them.
Within Hell Palace, there is Spirit Grass, but only the red flowers of night can nurture souls; the Vitality Flower has no effect on them, instead suppressing them.
Yuan Xiao’s team witnessed using such spells causing demon cultivators and poisonous bugs to retreat step by step, and even poison bugs perished.
Seeing the demons’ abilities weakening, they believed if the demon cultivators weren’t exterminated, they couldn’t entirely remove future troubles.
They don’t want this period of divine tribulation to be a continual pursuit of revenge, being hated by demon cultivators isn’t enjoyable either.
Eradicating threats at the root is normal for human cultivators.
Pity others not as much as pity oneself.
Though in Hell Palace, perhaps watched by the Saint Master, the Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace is also monitoring.
Yuan Xiao’s team didn’t think their abilities could defeat the opponent, extinguish them; such actions can gain merits but require preserving their lives.
Preserving their lives, continuing to cause harm?
Seeing their abilities, it’s certain they’ve harmed quite a few, puzzled as to why the Saint Master didn’t kill them, instead collecting them into Hell Palace, is it perhaps for divine tribulation?
