Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 937: Chapter 496: Eighth Life: Demon King Treasure Pill, Secret Realm Upheaval! (Part 2)

However, as a Nirvana Great Demon that has lived for over a thousand years, the Ink Flood Dragon is incredibly shrewd, even more so than many human Cultivators.

It stared at the Treasure Pill without being overwhelmed by this generous gift, instead turning its attention to the Jade Talisman, extending a wisp of Divine Thought to carefully browse the information contained within.

"The Eastern Sea Demon Race has already made contact with the Demon Court? You plan to ally with my Fierce Beast Lineage to kill off all human prodigies and jointly take over the Spirit Void Cave Mansion?"

A trace of seriousness flashed in the Ink Flood Dragon’s eyes. After a moment of silence, it slowly opened its mouth to ask.

"The Great Li Dynasty is just a secular power and naturally not worth worrying about. But do you know that behind these human prodigies, there are traces of many Great Teachings Dao Lineages?"

"If these Great Teachings Dao Lineages pursue the matter, how will you respond?"

Upon hearing this question, Yao Hong appeared very calm, as if he had long anticipated that the Ink Flood Dragon would ask this.

"Senior, rest assured. Though the human Dao Lineages are strong, our Demon Court also doesn’t hold an empty reputation. Even if strong human individuals pursue the matter, our Demon Court experts will handle it."

"Moreover, human Dao Lineages are mutually suppressive and rife with disputes, busy with internal conflicts. How would they wage a major battle over a trivial Spirit Void Cave Mansion?"

"Since that’s the case, I shall trust you this time."

With Yao Hong’s words, the Ink Flood Dragon no longer hesitated and immediately swallowed the Demon Pill.

The Eastern Sea Demon Race and the Spirit Void Fierce Beast Lineage share a common fate and both belong to the Demon Race. Seizing this opportunity to align with the Demon Court is a once-in-a-lifetime Creation for all Fierce Beasts.

Not long after.

Under the impetus of the vast medicinal power.

The Ink Flood Dragon’s aura surged dramatically, reaching the Half-Step Celestial Destiny Realm!

Then it soared into the sky, climbing high and roaming between heaven and earth, suddenly letting out a thunderous roar.

"The human race considers themselves the leaders of all life, using us Demons as Flesh and Blood Medicine. They must pay a heavy price for this!"

"Children, go hunt, go slaughter, go feast, kill all the human prodigies!"

The voice of the Ink Flood Dragon was like rolling thunder, spreading to every corner of the inner region.

As soon as the words fell.

In the mountains and ridges, countless Fierce Beasts immediately surged out, initiating a frenzied hunting mode, killing the human prodigies on sight.

In no time.

The Spirit Void Cave Mansion became a river of blood, with many human prodigies not even having time to react before meeting a tragic end under the claws of those Fierce Beasts.

Moreover, the Fierce Beast Lineage has been proliferating in the Spirit Void Cave Mansion for hundreds of years, with many Nirvana Realm Great Demons among them.

In contrast, all the human prodigies entering the Spirit Void Cave Mansion were of Soul Palace Realm cultivation. How could they possibly match those Nirvana Great Demons?

What’s more, the Fierce Beast Lineage had the Millennia-old Ink Flood Dragon, with Half-Step Celestial Destiny Cultivation, overseeing the situation, making it a completely one-sided massacre against the human prodigies!

"Ink Flood Dragon senior truly deserves to be the king of the Fierce Beast Lineage, with extraordinary power. With Ink Flood Dragon senior’s assistance, we are bound to secure the Celestial Mandate Inheritance."

Yao Hong’s eyes gleamed, a hint of joy flickering on his face.

No wonder the king would go to great lengths to win over this Ink Flood Dragon, even offering a Demon King Treasure Pill.

Now it seems, it was indeed worth the cost!

But unlike Yao Hong’s great joy, on the side of the human prodigies, there was wailing all around, with a doomsday-like hellish scene.

In the past, while the Spirit Void Cave Mansion was open, although there were many conflicts between humans and Demons, they were kept within certain limits, not completely tearing at each other.

But this time, they could never have imagined that the Fierce Beast Lineage would collude with the Eastern Sea Demon Race to jointly slaughter them.

And judging by the stance of the Fierce Beast Lineage, they clearly intended to annihilate them completely, leaving none alive.

Moreover, with the human prodigies fighting separately, they were scattered like loose sand, making it extremely difficult to organize any effective resistance.

"Where are the strong individuals of the Da Li Royal Family?"

"At a time of life and death, they should step forward to unify hearts!"

Many human prodigies cried out in anguished questioning.

Yet, in the face of the cries of the crowd, all the strong individuals of the Da Li Royal Family remained indifferent, as if it was none of their concern, hanging high above, with no intention of taking action.

Their primary goal for the trip was to spare no expense in assisting Zhou Xun in obtaining the Celestial Mandate Inheritance. As for the life and death of prodigies from other forces, what did it have to do with them?

Moreover, with the deep heritage of the royal family, they carried many powerful treasures this time. Even though the Ink Flood Dragon had stepped into the Half-Step Celestial Destiny Realm, it dared not lightly provoke them!

Thus.

Human prodigies suffered heavy casualties, and everyone faced the bloodiest and darkest Secret Realm trial ever.

Except for Lu Yuan.

Just as the outside world was in turmoil and bloodshed, he was nestled in a secluded cave, engrossed in cultivation, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Two months flew by, and as the closure of the Spirit Void Cave Mansion was only a month away.

Lu Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged like a stone sculpture, finally opened his eyes, letting out a long exhale.

And the vast Spiritual Power within him, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all gathered together, causing his aura to surge swiftly, instantly reaching the Ninth Layer of the Soul Palace!

"Seven Soul-Forming Pills, over a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, plus hundreds of Spirit-Storage Pills, and I barely managed to reach the Ninth-Layer Soul Palace Cultivation?"

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, feeling both the joy of a breakthrough in power and a touch of helplessness.

Under normal circumstances.

Such a large amount of Cultivation Resources would have already been enough for an ordinary Soul Palace Martial Artist to smoothly enter the Nirvana Realm.

But the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture and Self-Cutting Sword Dao that Lu Yuan cultivated required extremely high-quality Spiritual Power, both consuming vast resources.

This led to exhausting all the resources just to barely reach the Ninth Layer of the Soul Palace.

However, while these two Cultivation Techniques consume a massive amount of resources, the benefits they bring are evident.

The most direct point being.

His Divine Soul and Spiritual Power are extraordinarily dense, even compared to Nirvana Strong Persons, showing no weakness.

Especially the Purifying Heart Treasure Lotus slowly rotating in his Soul Palace, and the three-inch True Spirit sitting cross-legged have become increasingly lively.

Every movement embodied an indescribable Dao charm!

If that previously mentioned richly dressed man were still alive, Lu Yuan wouldn’t even need to use the Self-Slaying Swordsmanship; pure bodily strength alone would shatter that light curtain.

"Soul Palace Perfection, True Spirit achieved, next I must wait for the natural transformation of the Flesh Body, ushering in an unprecedented Nirvana."

Lu Yuan spoke calmly.

Compared to the Soul Palace Realm, which still lingers on the Martial Dao level, the Nirvana Realm is a comprehensive life transcendence, marking the true path of cultivation.

The gap between the two is like the transformation from dragon to snake, essentially different species.

He felt that once his Flesh Body transcended and he entered the Nirvana Realm, his power would become unimaginably terrifying!

"With only a month left before the Spirit Void Cave Mansion closes, it’s time for me to go out and see."

Lu Yuan stepped out of the cave, lightly stomping his right foot, causing the ground to collapse, burying the cave, eradicating all traces of his presence there completely.

After doing so, he walked away with ease, swiftly heading towards the inner region.

However, shortly after leaving the cave, he encountered several Fierce Beast attacks.

"These Fierce Beasts kill on sight. Have they gone berserk?"

Lu Yuan bent his bow and took aim, shooting rapidly, dispatching the Fierce Beasts before they could approach.

Afterward, he collected the beast corpses, extending a thread of Divine Thought, enveloping an area ten miles around, frowning deeply.

"Something’s not right; why isn’t there a single living person within ten miles? Has something changed in the Spirit Void Cave Mansion?"

In Lu Yuan’s perception.

Apart from the rampant Fierce Beasts and the corpses of prodigies from other forces in the vicinity, not a single living person was visible.

This situation was too eerie, causing Lu Yuan to sense a faint, unusual atmosphere.

After half a day.

Lu Yuan rushed a thousand miles, finally spotting a heavily wounded young prodigy, on the verge of death, lying in a pool of blood.

The prodigy was wearing a black robe, looking unfamiliar, but the sword emblem on his clothing evoked a sense of familiarity in Lu Yuan.
