The two demon beasts shot lava from their mouths as Zhang Xiaolong pulled out his sword, but he didn't flinch. Instead, he channeled his fire qi, combined with the darkness qi, into the demon extermination sword, turning his flame dark red. Furthermore, Zhang Xiaolong possessed fire immunity, which he mimicked from Aries. He was less concerned about the demon beasts' attacks because of their larger size and slower speed. Zhang Xiaolong quickly moved towards one of them as he slashed the lava with his sword, but it immediately swung its spike tail towards him, and the other one opened its mouth wide to bite him. Seeing that, Zhang Xiaolong used the clone illusion steps, causing the demon beast's spike tail to hit his illusion, and the other demon beast actually bit its tail until it broke off. Quickly, Zhang Xiaolong was already behind the other demon beast, and he slashed the demon extermination sword to cut off its tail, causing both demon beasts to let out roars of pain. *Roar* To Zhang Xiaolong's surprise, their tails immediately grew back, but he didn't think about it and cut them both off again, causing both of them pain. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolong's efforts were in vain, especially since their tails kept regenerating, even though he cut them off many times. After flying away from them to scan their status, he discovered that they could regenerate their bodies as long as they were in the lava. "How could there be demon beasts like these in this place?" Suddenly, the two demon beasts stomped their front legs on the ground, causing all the lava to move upwards towards Zhang Xiaolong, but he immediately used his flames to counter their attacks. [Why are you playing with them, Master? Even though they are demon beasts at marquis rank, they are not opponents for a heavenly fox like you, and you can defeat them easily.] "Haha." Zhang Xiaolong laughed while listening to Mei. "Why are you in such a rush? Actually, I just wanted to test my strength against them. However, you're right, I don't need to waste time fighting them." Zhang Xiaolong then released his heavenly fox aura to suppress those demon beasts, and he stretched out both of his palms towards them before using one of the techniques in the netherworld demon scripture, the hellflame incantation. Instantly, black flames shot out of both of Zhang Xiaolong's palms, which immediately enveloped the bodies of the two demon beasts. Despite their lava-formed bodies, the heat from the black flames immediately caused them to roll on the ground, roaring in pain. The flames continued to burn their bodies, rendering their regeneration abilities useless. Within a few minutes, the demon beasts had already become ashes, and Zhang Xiaolong immediately flew to the next area. However, there was nothing in the fourth area but empty land, and he also didn't see any red dots on his map, which made him feel doubtful about the situation there. *Zing... Zing... Zing...* The demon extermination suddenly vibrated quite strongly as it detected the presence of a demon, so Zhang Xiaolong immediately channeled his light qi into his sword before releasing it, and it immediately shot forward before stabbing something. *Roar* An invisible demon suddenly released a loud roar as Zhang Xiaolong's light element flowed into its body, and it finally revealed itself in front of him, which surprised him, especially since its body size was truly gigantic and almost filled the entire area. The demon tried to grab the demon extermination sword, but it immediately moved back before slashing its arm clean off, making black blood flow to wet the ground beneath it. However, the demon extermination sword didn't stop there; it slashed the demon's other arm, causing it to let out another roar of pain. *Roar* "Return!" The demon extermination sword returned to Zhang Xiaolong's hand, who immediately held its hilt and pointed it upward. He once again channeled his light qi into his sword before using the element sword method, making his sword glow white and lengthen, and he immediately slashed it towards the demon, splitting its body in two directly. *Splurt... Splurt...* Black blood gushed out of the demon's split body, soaking the ground and splattering towards Zhang Xiaolong, who immediately used his qi to protect himself. Wasting no time, Zhang Xiaolong flew towards the next area, which was the last area of the Death Valley. However, he was immediately amazed to see a black castle in the middle of the place, and a moat filled with clear water surrounding it. === [Ding] [Quest: Finding a Lost Demon] [Quest rank: Medium] [Status: Done] [Reward: Medium Gift Pack x1 sent to the inventory] === "No." Zhang Xiaolong immediately denied Nauvia. "You yourself know that the demons in this sub-realm hate a man, so I can't possibly have any relationship with them, right? Even so, I once infiltrated the Shire Demon City, and I heard the demon hunters talking about you in Ashreth's pub." "I see." Nauvia nodded in understanding. "Actually, I don't like my mother, and I don't like living in that tower. Although life there is much better, I don't feel comfortable living there, so I decided to run away. However, those demon hunters kept finding me, so I mustered the courage to run away to this place, and I used the demons here to kill them." Zhang Xiaolong immediately asked Nauvia again. "Why did you have to kill them? They were innocent, and they were only carrying out the tasks they took, you know?" "I don't care!" Nauvia shouted at Zhang Xiaolong. "No one should find me and force me back to the tower, so I'll kill them." Zhang Xiaolong shook his head after hearing that. "You might be able to kill them since their demon ranks aren't that high, but Ashreth will send high-ranking demons to find you soon, and the demons here won't be able to protect you anymore." "I know." Nauvia didn't deny Zhang Xiaolong. "If Ashreth really sent high-ranking demons to find me and take me home, then I will leave this place, and I will go to a more dangerous place to hide from them." "Oh?" Zhang Xiaolong was surprised for a moment. "Does this sub-realm have a more dangerous place than Death Valley? Nauvia nodded at Zhang Xiaolong. "There is still one place more dangerous than this Death Valley, which is located in my lady black Amaris's area, and we call it Endless Death." "Endless Death?" Nauvia nodded to Zhang Xiaolong once more, and he tried to find the location on his map. "What kind of place is that? Why is the place's name so scary?" "Did you see the two faceless demon statues at the entrance to this place?" After Zhang Xiaolong nodded, Nauvia immediately told him. "Those two are the true creators of this sub-realm; they are the two rulers' ancestors, who lived before the appearance of the first demon lord. They were far more cruel than the current rulers, and they created the Death Valley and the Endless Death to punish other demons. However, that place is much more terrifying than this one, especially since it is an endless abyss with an ancient demon beast living in it." "An ancient demon beast?" "Yes." Nauvia answered with a nod. "I don't know exactly what kind of demon beast lives inside it, but the other demons said that it was very terrible, and it would torture the demons who were thrown into the abyss. They would not die immediately, but rather very slowly, which is why they named that place Endless Death." Hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong became interested in going there to see the ancient demon beast, especially since he thought that it should be powerful and probably much stronger than the Amaris Twins or even Oz. "Anyway, does that mean this black castle is where one of them lives?" "Yeah." Nauvia then looked towards the black castle. "According to history, the corpse of one of them is preserved in this black castle, and there are many demon treasures. However, it is surrounded by a strong, invisible barrier. Even the current rulers are unable to breach it, thus preventing me from entering to inspect the interior." "Hmm?" Nauvia's explanation piqued Zhang Xiaolong's interest, prompting him to walk towards the black castle, where an invisible barrier immediately stopped him. Nauvia immediately jumped into the moat and swam to the side of the black castle. "I told you, right? I don't know anything about your abilities, but you won't be able to destroy it, and you might get hurt if you forcefully destroy it, especially since the current rulers have done so." Zhang Xiaolong immediately touched the invisible barrier, but Mei immediately warned him. [Master, a powerful demon cultivator seems to have created this black castle, and the barrier is extremely strong, making it impossible for you to break it with your current strength; not even Boitata could destroy it.] 'Not even Boitata can break this barrier?' Zhang Xiaolong inquired in shock, particularly since she had already reached the sovereign realm. If that was true, it meant that the demon cultivator who created the invisible barrier had already surpassed that level. [Yes! Moreover, this invisible barrier seems to have a defense mechanism, so you should avoid forcing yourself to breach it, as its counterattack could seriously injure you.] Naturally, Zhang Xiaolong would not take Mei's words lightly, and he immediately withdrew his hand. 'Do you think people from the Di clan can breach this invisible barrier?' [Since the Di Clan members are formation array masters, they can probably do it, master. However, you can't possibly bring them here, right? Even though they are powerful cultivators, they are still humans, and the demon aura in this realm will affect them.] 'Yeah, you're right about that.' Zhang Xiaolong replied while nodding. 'In that case, I will ask Lingxue to accompany me to the Di Clan after my real body returns to the Sky Jade Realm, and I will learn about formation arrays from them, so I can breach this invisible barrier by myself.' "Hey! What are you thinking? Do you intend to breach in?" Nauvia suddenly inquired. - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2 .
