“Can they do it or not?”
From above, Chu Kuangren rolled his eyes as he watched the kings’ futile attempts at breaking the seal.
At that instance, a black figure dashed into the scene from a distance.
It was none other than Yuan Wudao, whom Chu Kuangren just met a couple of days ago.
Yuan Wudao grunted. “What a bunch of trash! You can’t even break a seal properly. Move away and let me do it!”
Yuan Wudao lifted his hands and channeled the demonic qi in his body, summoning a ferocious black skull that charged rampantly at the seal.
A devastating amount of energy blasted on the altar.
With that force, the entire Winged Human Tribe’s territory trembled.
However, the seal remained intact!
The kings looked strangely at Yuan Wudao.
Above in the air, Chu Kuangren could not help but smack his forehead. “Should I help them break this seal instead?”
Lan Yu was chuckling away too. “This is a seal that was left by the Sage Ruler Holy King. It won’t be easy for them to break it.”
Down below, Yuan Wudao was a little embarrassed by the kings’ reactions. “Looks like I underestimated this seal. Not even half of my strength is enough to break it.”
Then, lifting his hands, Yuan Wudao once again channeled his demonic qi. An endless stream of Daoist Rhymes erupted from his body and fused with his demonic qi. With that, an even greater black skull manifested above the air and charged at the altar.
“Abyssal Celestial Devourer!”
With a large explosion, the entire void trembled.
A surge of destructive energy spread out in all directions.
Cracks began to appear on the altar’s seal, and eventually, the seal was broken!
A dark Demonic Well that resembled a whirlpool began to manifest in the air as surges of demonic qi began to pour out!
In the presence of the demonic qi, Yuan Wudao could not help but grin in satisfaction. On the other hand, the other demonic cultivators were worried.
Although they were known as demonic cultivators, their cultivation mediums were simply spiritual energies that were commonly found in Firmament Star. Hence, they had never come in contact with authentic demonic qi like this.
Ironically, the demonic cultivators also saw demonic qi as a harmful element.
As demonic qi surged, demonic creatures began to crawl out of the Demonic Well, and some of them were the Fallen Winged Human.
“Haha, humanity, we’re here again!”
“Occupy this area!”
Looking at these demonic creatures, Yuan Wudao grunted. “Attack!”
What followed next was a confusing scene for the defeated Winged Human Tribe. Obeying Yuan Wudao’s command, the kings began to hunt down these demonic creatures.
What was happening?
They went through all that trouble of attacking the Winged Human Tribe and breaking the seal to the Demonic Well just to hunt down the creatures within it. Were these people out of their minds?
However, Chu Kuangren was not surprised at all.
“Sure enough, Yuan Wudao is collecting demonic creatures.”
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
Yuan Wudao was first at the School of White Lotus in search of the three-headed hound’s corpse. When that plan failed, he set his eyes on the Demonic Well of the Winged Human Tribe and even lured Chu Kuangren back to the Black Heaven Sect to avoid trouble. All that effort was just so that Yuan Wudao could collect demonic creatures.
Though what was Yuan Wudao collecting these creatures for?
Could it have something to do with his inner demonic qi?
Chu Kuangren still did not have answers to those questions.
“I believe I’ll have those answers soon.”
Chu Kuangren looked at Yuan Wudao who was still hunting the demonic creatures below and smiled. Chu Kuangren was curious what surprises were awaited ahead.
The hunt continued.
The Demonic Well of the Winged Human Tribe had a small entrance, only allowing creatures below a Sage’s level to cross. In fact, there were only a few Supreme Honorables creatures at the scene.
This was not a threat for Yuan Wudao and his party.
Perhaps that was the reason why they had taken an interest in the Demonic Well of the Winged Human Tribe. That way, Yuan Wudao did not have to worry about encountering an undefeatable creature.
More than an hour had passed.
Having collected a massive amount of demonic corpses, Yuan Wudao and his party began to retreat.
After they left, the injured demonic creatures, who previously abandoned their weapons in fear of their lives, began to act cocky again.
“I think they’ve left.”
“These Winged Human Tribe members can do nothing to us.” A Fallen Winged Human laughed out loud.
At that moment, an enormous golden palm smashed downward from above and its majestic Buddhist Light obliterated all the demonic creatures in the vicinity.
The sudden attack terrified every demonic creature present.
What was it now?!
Why were they encountering so many deadly forces now that they were finally freed from the seal? They were no Demonic Sages!
Upon witnessing the golden palm, some of the demonic creatures who had just exited the Demonic Well immediately fled into the demonic realm.
‘It’s too scary.’
‘Humanity is such a scary place.’
Chu Kuangren descended from above as his body radiated with Buddhist Light, cleansing the remaining demonic creatures and reducing them into ashes!
Buddhist Light was an effective countermeasure to demonic qi.
Meanwhile, Lan Yu came to the altar and retrieved her Scepter of Light. As her Light-based Daoist Rhymes began to circulate the scepter, she began to recover the seal of the altar.
Since she had done this once before and the cultivation had improved tremendously, Lan Yu did not take long to recover the seal.
“Sect Leader Chu, Lan Yu.” The Winged Human Tribe Leader approached them. Looking at the recovered seal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tribe Leader Yan, thank you for participating in this act.”
“Not an issue, I’m glad to be of help. However, what’s the Underworld Palace planning by collecting these demonic creatures?”
“Heh, I guess we’ll find out soon.”
Chu Kuangren looked towards the direction that Yuan Wuhan left in.
Along with Lan Yu, he followed their trails.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu both retracted their aura in the air and tailed Yuan Wuhan’s party, who were oblivious to their presence.
Chu Kuangren possessed a remarkable ability at concealing his aura.
However, it was not a major feat. Having mastered countless techniques, it was unsurprising that Chu Kuangren would pick up some techniques on masking his aura as well.
After a day of traveling, Yuan Wudao arrived in the deeper region of a mountain valley, where there was a bronze door covered with a layer of patina, and on it were the depictions of countless souls wailing in Purgatory.
“We’re here.”
Yuan Wudao looked at the strange bronze door and smiled in delight. “Release the blood of the demonic creatures.”
He instructed the kings of the Underworld Palace.
The demonic cultivators then laid out the hunted demonic creatures and sliced their bodies open so that blood would pour out of their cavities.
The fresh blood spilled over the floor before it gradually converged onto the bronze door. After absorbing the demonic blood, the door trembled and a faint red light radiated.
“The archives were right. The Demonic Hoarder Forefather’s bronze door can only be opened with demonic blood. Looks like all his treasure now belongs to me!” Yuan Wudao exclaimed as he stared passionately at the door.
Soon, the bronze door radiated with an even darker spectrum of red, almost as if the entire door was dyed in blood.
“Young Master, our demonic blood is running out.”
The Chakra King said when he noticed that the door was still not opening despite them exhausting all of their blood.
“Damn it, these are low-level demonic creatures after all. If I got my hands on the corpse of the three-headed hound, its blood would’ve been enough to unlock the door. Curse that b*stard Chu Kuangren!” Yuan Wudao ground his teeth and said.
Unwilling to give up, Yuan Wudao proceeded to retrieve a dagger and placed its blade on his hand. As he sliced across his wrist, copious amounts of blood gushed out and flowed towards the bronze door.
Having cultivated in demonic qi, his blood was also considered a form of demonic blood!
Just when Yuan Wudao’s face was about to turn pale from the blood loss, the bronze door shook abruptly and it finally opened.
With that, a breeze of demonic qi that had been sealed within for a long time gushed out!
