Chapter 2433 - 1416:
Punishing them is a means used by these Human Cultivators for their divine tribulation exercises.
Yuan Xiao’s companions also believe that perhaps the Saint Master will test them, as cultivators originally focus on self-cultivation and Heart Cultivation.
In the Cultivation World, they have also tried killing and seizing treasures.
However, generally people don’t attack those who don’t pose a threat.
Like them, they disdain attacking those who are weaker.
They possess powerful resources, proving that they can obtain resources through proper means.
The Cultivation World is not without envy towards those with powerful resources, wanting to use dark methods to obtain them.
There are laws here, there are enforcers, and anyone found doing wrong will be punished.
As for these Demon Cultivators, they generally face extermination in the Cultivation World.
They do not allow dark demons to appear in the Cultivation World, as they pose a threat.
This group of Yuan Xiao has always used techniques for demon extermination.
The Demons do resist, from initially attacking to being steadily defeated, being pushed relentlessly by Human Cultivators, many demons have been weakened and exterminated.
From over a hundred demons before, now only a dozen remain.
As for the venomous bugs they sent out, they’ve long been eradicated!
As they retreated deeper into the palace, they discovered the power supply, and the Great Demon King angrily sent out more Demon Cultivators.
...
The demons sent out by the Great Demon King fought fewer and fewer, batch after batch sent out, and he even thought of not fighting himself.
This is their stronghold, he wouldn’t leave unless there’s a chance to escape.
Knowing this time they’ve hit a brick wall, they’ve encountered Human Cultivators even stronger than before.
With spells specifically restraining their abilities, especially a certain Formation that rebounded their spells.
Seeing his subordinates being wiped out, the Great Demon King felt heartache.
Many were companions sharing life and death situations.
But as angry as the Great Demon King was, he continued to send out his subordinates.
Those hearing of another batch being wiped out, some high-ranking followers of the Great Demon King, were having second thoughts.
Should they leave here?
If they leave immediately, there’s a chance to survive.
Continuing to stay would mean being surrounded, wasting their efforts.
What a pity, a place lived in for over a year is about to be occupied.
The Great Demon King and a group of trusted followers eventually took their most important belongings and quietly left through hidden passages.
Leaving this empty shell of a palace, they set traps for Human Cultivators upon entry.
There are many mechanisms, many poisonous creatures.
These might have an effect on other humans, but against opposing cultivators, spell abilities may be ineffective.
Perhaps when designing this palace, they had the idea, and there are some formations inside, unique from others.
Without deep abilities, without potent Formation-breaking abilities, getting in and out may be time-consuming.
The Great Demon King and the others fled quietly, somewhat embarrassingly.
Leaving here, they can go elsewhere, searching silently for opportunities, looking for chances to fight again.
Fully aware that not all these Human Cultivators entering are so formidable.
It’s just their bad luck encountering the Human Cultivators whose abilities counter theirs.
These Human Cultivators are strong, but there are still some weaker ones.
Thinking these Human Cultivators breaking the Formation would take time, they didn’t expect that Yuan Xiao’s group, although weak in Formation-breaking ability, had Spiritual Pets skilled at breaking formations.
Yuan Xiao’s Spiritual Pets, besides having Formation setting and breaking skills, also possess attack skills. When they arrived at a palace.
They discovered a peculiar formation, these individuals couldn’t discern how to break it.
Only sent their Spiritual Pets to do so.
Each cultivator’s Spiritual Pet studied the formation, starting by dispersing the black mist around the palace.
Next, eliminate the surrounding venomous bugs.
After dealing with the bugs, it was time to break the formation.
The bugs around the palace were stronger and more poisonous than those their team faced before.
Considered a type of Demonic Beast insect, these included flying and crawling creatures.
Swarms of them flew, swarms crawled on the ground.
The Spiritual Pets naturally emitted a golden light, with unique pest extermination skills akin to their masters.
Empowered by their master’s capabilities, they first controlled and eliminated the venomous bugs!
Then demonstrated the function of breaking the Formation.
As they broke the formation, the Spiritual Pets and humans rested, noticing the palace doors were closed.
Without the Formation’s support, they could use Spiritual Power to open the doors.
With a wave of Yuan Xiao’s hand, a massive power entered the closed door, and it automatically opened.
They then saw, as they broke the Formation, inside was still a dark palace.
With the dispersal of mist, sunlight shone.
Except the palace remained shrouded in darkness, as they dispersed the mist, a fishy odor wafted in.
Knowing the mist contained poison, this place’s mist and poison were stronger than any they’ve encountered.
It’s said the Demon living here might be the strongest.
Yuan Xiao and their companions cautiously proceeded, knowing they needed to diffuse from the open door slowly.
Unaware of how many traps awaited inside.
There may be even more formidable demons, more potent venomous bugs.
Human capability, perhaps against the most formidable demon, only capable of one battle.
For stronger venomous bugs, they could only rely on Buddha Light Power to handle them.
At this moment, they were doubly protecting their bodies.
They didn’t think themselves worry-free after taking the antidote.
A long-term immunity to poisons may be challenged by stronger venomous bugs.
Their young bodies need protection.
Yuan Xiao knew the heavy responsibility he bore, leading these over 100 companions, the strongest elite of their clan, the strongest younger generation.
Not only companions but also siblings, he must ensure their safety.
Nobody defied Yuan Xiao’s orders, nor would anyone fight alone.
Now understanding unity as strength, individual abilities may have combat power, but the reason they defeated those demons and venomous bugs is because of their unity.
Unity provides a greater advantage here.
Little by little, they dispersed the palace’s poison and mist.
Unfazed by the traps awaited ahead.
They still allowed the Spiritual Pets to enter first.
When the Spiritual Pets entered, they found hidden weapons, but with Formation control skills.
And skills protecting their bodies, the weapons didn’t harm the Spiritual Pets.
The Spiritual Pets flew into the palace, eliminating the hidden venomous bugs.
The air’s fishy stench faded, the mist dissipated.
They saw the palace’s scene more clearly, resembling a human house, with furniture, and signs of demon occupancy.
The places demons occupied had differences from human construction and equipment.
They saw some skulls and Wooden Tokens.
Perhaps these were artifacts the demons used in Magic Skills, or perhaps they were once possessed, bound to the wood.
Skulls might serve as their emblem.
Once the Spiritual Pets eradicated the palace’s venomous bugs, the place was deemed safe.
Only then did the owners enter.
Yuan Xiao and the companions now realized, in this place, their Spiritual Pets had just eliminated many toxic creatures.
Uncertain if the demon had already fled since the Spiritual Pets encountered no demon.
The ground littered with weapons, part of the mechanism, already resolved.
The palace now devoid of demons, devoid of toxic items.
