Chapter 918 - 402: Ten Thousand Demons Bow Down, Secrets of the Cultivation Immortality Realm

In that Ancient Cultivation Realm where Righteous and Demon were reversed, any Cultivator who harbored mercy towards mortals was considered an unforgivable fiend.

"Even though I belong to the Demon Race, I believe Master’s actions were right. A group that is so cruel to its own kind is destined to perish sooner or later," the Tiger King said. "The Nine Great Immortal Sects did indeed fall. If they hadn’t been destroyed, who knows what the current Cultivation Immortality Realm would look like..."

Listening to the Tiger King’s words, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but think that if the Nine Great Immortal Sects were still around, the current Cultivation Immortality Realm would likely be in a state of utter chaos.

The Tiger King continued, "After Master defected from his Sect, he was constantly pursued. My ancestor and that Three-headed Cyan-faced Lion were severely injured during the years of being hunted, and they ultimately passed away before Master did."

Before their deaths, the two Tier Four Demon Monarchs instructed their descendants to revere that senior as their master. If he were to pass away, they were to guard his tomb for generations. Furthermore, they pleaded with the senior to have someone capable of refining them into Flesh Puppets so they could continue to protect him after death.

"My race has abided by our ancestor’s instructions, guarding Master’s tomb for generations," the Tiger King added. "But the Three-headed Cyan-faced Lion race has lost its original intention. They constantly scheme to enter Master’s tomb because they suspect there is a significant amount of Tier Four Demon Beast Essence Blood inside..."

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was slightly moved.

As a Tier Four Beast Master, that senior’s remaining Treasures could indeed include Tier Four Demon Beast Essence Blood. Demon Beast Essence Blood of this Tier was extremely rare in the current Cultivation Immortality Realm. He could use it for his Tier Four Body Refinement.

Of course, Demon Beasts could use it as well. For a Tier Three Demon King, the Essence Blood of a Tier Four Demon Monarch was a highly nourishing tonic. As long as they swallowed enough of it, they might also be able to step onto the path to Tier Four.

"Daoist Hu, based on what you’re saying, is it highly likely that those Three-headed Cyan-faced Lions will block our path?" Li Chang’an asked.

"Rest assured, Daoist Li. Our two races are fairly matched in strength. I will naturally block them for you, allowing you to safely obtain the inheritance."

"Then I will have to trouble Daoist Hu." Li Chang’an cupped his hands in thanks.

A short while later, that senior’s tomb appeared in the distance.

Though called a tomb, it was actually just an ordinary wooden cabin. His corpse lay inside. There were no Arrays guarding the outside of the cabin, but Li Chang’an spotted various Treasures recorded in the Tier Four Beast Taming inheritance.

"Tier Four Beast-Taming Bell!"

Under the eaves of the cabin hung a string of antique-colored Copper Bells. This Treasure was incredibly peculiar. Whenever a Demon Beast approached, it would emit a crisp sound. This sound had no effect on Human Race Cultivators, but it would cause Demon Beasts to experience excruciating agony. The other few Treasures functioned similarly to the Beast-Taming Bell.

"Although these Treasures can’t compare to the Beast Taming Wheel, they are still quite remarkable. There are simply no materials left in the current Cultivation Immortality Realm capable of refining them," Li Chang’an murmured, his eyes lighting up slightly.

Even without the Beast Blood Gold mentioned in the Divination, obtaining just these Treasures would make the trip worthwhile. With them, he would be even more confident in dealing with that Six-winged Water Snake.

JINGLE JINGLE...

The Beast-Taming Bell suddenly began to sway because a Demon Beast was attempting to approach the cabin. That Demon Beast possessed three heads with cyan faces and sharp fangs—it was none other than a Three-headed Cyan-faced Lion.

Moreover, it was the Lion King of its race.

"Argh—"

Despite possessing Quasi-Tier Four strength, he still couldn’t endure the sound of the Beast-Taming Bell. After taking merely two steps, he wailed and collapsed to the ground, writhing in agonizing pain before ultimately being forced to retreat. If he stubbornly insisted on getting closer, he would undoubtedly die under the power of the Beast-Taming Bell and the other Treasures.

He retreated to a distance and roared in indignant fury. "Why! Our race has guarded you for a full ninety thousand years! Why won’t you give me even a single Treasure?"

He knew that the senior was already dead and couldn’t answer him; his roar was purely to vent his frustration. At this moment, the Tiger King bellowed at him.

"Lion King, stop wasting your energy! Master came from a Beast Taming Major Sect and possessed an endless array of Beast Taming methods. How could a Quasi-Tier Four Demon Beast like you possibly break through them?"

"Tiger King, do you truly not want to step onto the path of Tier Four? If we can obtain the Tier Four Essence Blood, both of us would have hope of becoming Tier Four Demon Monarchs!" the Lion King angrily shouted back. He was about to hurl a few more insults, but he suddenly froze.

It was because he noticed Li Chang’an standing beside the Tiger King.

"A Human Race Cultivator!"

The Lion King’s expression instantly grew even uglier. The sudden appearance of a Human Race Cultivator here could only mean one thing: this person had passed the trials and was qualified to receive that senior’s inheritance.

"Human Race Cultivator, leave immediately! This inheritance does not belong to you!" Intensely unwilling, he glared furiously, his roar echoing through the clouds.

In the next instant, the aura of a Tier Four Demon Monarch suddenly erupted.

He drove the Lion Race’s Tier Four Ancestor Puppet over, setting it in a standoff against the Tiger Race’s Ancestor Puppet. In addition, more Three-headed Cyan-faced Lions continuously rushed over from all corners of the Secret Realm World.

Before long, thousands of them had gathered! Naturally, the Tiger King also summoned the Demon Beasts of the Tiger Race.

"Lion King, this Human Race Cultivator meets Master’s requirements. Step aside immediately!"

"What master? He is only the master of our ancestors, not ours!" The Lion King’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared dead at Li Chang’an, looking as though he wanted to swallow him whole. In his eyes, Li Chang’an was here to snatch away his fortuitous encounter. "Today, this person can forget about stealing the fortuitous encounter from my hands!"

"Lion King, you have absolutely no right to receive the inheritance. You have nothing in your hands!" the Tiger King retorted bluntly, directly tearing open the Lion King’s scars.

As they argued, more and more members of both races converged.

Soon, the number of Demon Beasts on both the Tiger Race and the Lion Race’s sides exceeded ten thousand each. Swords were drawn and bows were strung. The atmosphere was incredibly tense, with everyone glaring at the opposing side with hostility, as if a massive war would break out at any given moment.
