Chapter 201: Entering the Realm of Demons
At the same time, far away in the sky, two streaks of light were swiftly heading towards the Realm of Demons.
"Junior Sister, don't worry, we'll make it to the sect competition," said a figure with a somewhat helpless tone. This figure's face was half-covered by a ghostly mask, giving him a sinister appearance.
"If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself," replied a crisp, girlish voice from the other streak of light, which then sped up abruptly.
The ghost-masked man sighed and asked, "Junior Sister, are you in such a hurry to find someone at the sect competition?"
"I need to find someone very, very important to me."
...
On a vast, dark plain, the twisted space suddenly rippled like water, emitting a terrifying aura. The surrounding crowd became restless, knowing that the Realm of Demons was about to open.
Known as a notorious place in the Eastern Profound Region, the Realm of Demons is usually sealed by an ancient array and is inaccessible most of the time. Every few months, a breach appears, providing an opportunity for treasure seekers to enter.
As the dreadful aura spread, the space barrier standing between heaven and earth became increasingly distorted.
"When we enter later, we must stay connected, or we'll be separated," reminded Ying Xiaoxiao.
"Understood," everyone responded.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the twisted space in the distance violently exploded, forming a swirling vortex.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
As soon as the vortex appeared, countless figures flew into it like a swarm of locusts.
"Let's go in too!" shouted Wang Yan. All members of the Dao Sect connected their auras, forming a light mass that entered the vortex.
...
Darkness spread from the ground, stretching to the horizon. Deep in the wasteland, occasional piercing roars echoed, devoid of any life, filled only with an extreme desire to kill.
Soon, numerous cracks appeared in the sky, and many figures flew out from them. Among them, a group of light descended, revealing the members of the Dao Sect.
"So this is the Realm of Demons?" The Dao Sect disciples couldn't help but look around curiously upon arriving.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Xiao Tian suddenly stomped the ground. Terrifying power spread out, creating cracks in the ground. In the cracks, numerous black, spiky creatures emerged.
"These are demon ants, what bad luck!" Ying Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly as she saw the swarming creatures.
"Leave it to me!" said Xiao Tian, spitting out a flame. The fire grew in the wind, turning into a sea of fire that burned the demon ants around him. The flames were so intense that any demon ant touched by them was instantly incinerated.
Moments later, all the demon ants had turned to ashes.
Seeing this, many Dao Sect disciples exclaimed, "Senior Brother Xiao Tian, your flames are too strong!"
"There seems to be something underground!" Ying Huanhuan suddenly said.
"Boom!"
Xiao Tian punched the ground again, sending black soil flying and revealing the scene below. Under the dark earth was a layer of brown rock, with several dried corpses sitting on it.
Ying Huanhuan pointed and said, "Look at their dantians."
Everyone looked and saw that the corpses' dantians contained clusters of white light. Inside the white light, there was a pill rotating, emitting a vast life force.
"It's a Life Profound Bone Pearl!" Wang Yan exclaimed, "These people were all at the peak or perfect stage of the Life Profound Realm before they died!"
The Life Profound Bone Pearl is a treasure formed after the death of a Life Profound Realm peak or perfect stage expert. Containing abundant life force, it can help people break through to the Life Profound Realm.
"No wonder there are so many demon ants here, they were attracted by the Life Profound Bone Pearls," Ying Xiaoxiao realized.
"Let's take them now!"
As they prepared to act, the sound of swords resonated from a distance. A group of Sword Sect members flew over, their eyes blazing as they looked at the corpses.
Xue Ling from the Sword Sect looked at everyone and smiled, "Finders keepers, how about we split the Life Profound Bone Pearls?"
Upon hearing this, the Dao Sect members looked at Xiao Tian. Although Wang Yan was the commander, Xiao Tian was the strongest, so they naturally preferred to follow him.
Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, and he said, "Go ahead."
The Dao Sect members were puzzled but chose to comply.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao, the Sword Sect will remember this favor," Xue Ling said. He waved his hand, and two sharp sword energies formed a giant hand, reaching for the corpses.
"Shush!"
Just as the giant hand was about to grab the corpses, they eerily opened their eyes. Their sunken eyes glowed blood-red, surrounded by black mist, full of a pure desire to kill!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the four corpses raised their heads and swung their skeletal hands, sending out four black beams that shattered the giant hand and flew towards the Sword Sect disciples in the sky.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, several Sword Sect disciples died instantly.
"They're demon corpses!" Xue Ling frowned. He glanced coldly at Xiao Tian, then gritted his teeth and led the Sword Sect members away. Although the demon corpses were weaker than in life, they were still too strong to handle.
After the Sword Sect left, the demon corpses targeted Xiao Tian and the others, releasing overwhelming demonic energy.
Ying Huanhuan asked, "Xiao Tian, what should we do?"
"Of course, we'll fight them," Xiao Tian smiled. With a wave of his hand, four dark golden celestial demon puppets appeared before them.
"These are... puppets?"
Everyone looked curiously at the celestial demon puppets.
"They are indeed a type of puppet, but not ordinary ones," Xiao Tian explained, controlling the puppets to fight the demon corpses. Both sides had tough bodies, feeling no pain or fear, making for a thrilling battle.
"Shush!"
Xiao Tian flashed beside a demon corpse. His arm turned into a dragon claw, piercing the demon's abdomen and pulling out a white light cluster containing a rotating pill with extraordinary life force.
When the pill was removed, the demon corpse's killing intent vanished, and it fell lifelessly. Xiao Tian repeated the process, extracting the pills from the other demon corpses.
Afterward, he stored the demon corpses in his spatial ring. Even in death, they could be turned into powerful celestial demon puppets.
