Chapter 794: Chapter 504: Divine Fruit, Energy Disturbance! (Double-Length)

"You mean, we can’t get in?" The Nine Nether King’s three bull eyes were fixed intently on the Xuwei Demon bound by demon power in front of him.

"Spare me..." The Xuwei Demon, with all its limbs severed, was already barely clinging to life. Being oppressed by the aura of the Nine Nether King made it even harder to breathe, leaving it on the brink of death.

"Great King, we still need him to get out of here." Seeing this, a Great Demon from the Bird Race quickly stepped forward to softly remind him.

"Useless!" The Nine Nether King impatiently tossed the Xuwei Demon in front of the Bird Race Great Demon.

Looking at the barrier before him, the third bull’s eye suddenly shot out a beam of light, striking the barrier.

The next moment, energy ripples spread across the barrier, and the beam reversed, shooting straight back at the Nine Nether King.

The Nine Nether King, being prepared, sidestepped to avoid it, and the beam landed on the Black Mountain in the distance.

The violent explosion caused the mountain to tremble, rocks fell, and it took a long time for everything to calm down.

"Hmm?"

The Nine Nether King’s bull eyes shifted away from the seemingly impenetrable barrier and looked to the side, meeting the gaze of Situ Ming, who had come upon hearing the commotion.

"I knew it..." Situ Ming’s heart sank. He had anticipated that the Nine Nether King might come, but he hadn’t expected the king to arrive so quickly.

"We meet again!" The Nine Nether King grinned, slowly starting to speak.

Outside the Black Mountain.

Song Changming did not hurry to leave. He had come due to the sense from the Copper Mirror Fragment and decided to wait a little longer.

If the other party used the Copper Mirror Fragment to enter the Black Mountain, they would eventually come out again.

Bai Qing, after searching the area and finding nothing, also did not choose to leave but sat cross-legged not far from Song Changming, quietly waiting for reasons unknown.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but during this period, a few more demons, attracted by the massive Black Mountain, came, only to become lumps of blood and flesh essence after giving Song Changming a single glance, which Song Changming refined.

"This young master truly has impressive skills..."

Just as Song Changming was taking the essence of yet another demon’s blood and flesh, an aged voice suddenly reached his ears, prompting him to turn his head to look.

It was an old man, with white hair and a body full of decay.

The old man had a gaunt figure, was quite short, and his thick white hair and beard trailed to the ground, with skin full of wrinkles.

"A Great Demon?"

Song Changming quickly perceived the vast demon power surging within this old man, realizing that he was not only a Great Demon but one whose Tao practice was quite profound.

The appearance of this Great Demon Old Man also drew Bai Qing’s focused attention, his Master’s Power at the ready, prepared for battle at any time.

"Don’t misunderstand, although I am a demon, I have no desire to be an enemy to the Human Race, and I have never harmed innocents in the past." The Great Demon Old Man waved a hand, indicating his stance.

He belonged to a mild, neutral faction in the Demon Realm, focusing solely on cultivating the Demon Path and never participating in the slaughter against the Human Race.

There were actually quite a few of such demons, though most remained hidden in various places, rarely revealing themselves, much less establishing interactions with the Human Race.

For they understood that once they got close to the Human Race, they would be dragged into disputes and quagmires, further being labeled as siding with the Human Race.

Song Changming was clearly aware of this too, hence he was somewhat puzzled by the other party’s apparent intention to come closer.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing much, just admiring the young master’s extraordinary abilities, I specifically came to make it clear that I mean no harm, to avoid misunderstandings and bringing about an old man’s demise." The Great Demon Old Man spoke slowly, hands behind his back, with a bent posture.

His eyes were surrounded by wrinkles, forcing him to squint while looking at people.

His tone was very humble, and he clearly recognized Song Changming’s remarkable power, an intentional gesture of goodwill.

Song Changming remained silently unresponsive, not dropping his guard despite the few words from the old man.

No matter how sincerely the old man spoke, it could not cover up the fact of his identity as a Great Demon.

Even if the other party truly held a neutral stance among the demons, it was prudent not to immediately extend too much trust.

"Do you intend to stay here?" Song Changming recognized the old man’s intention and spoke.

"This old man has sensed an opportunity meant for me within this Black Mountain..."

The Great Demon Old Man approached closer, looking at the mountain before them with surprisingly honest words, hiding nothing.

"If you don’t mind, hopefully, you could allow this old man to stay behind."

Upon hearing this, Song Changming said no more, implying tacit approval.

"Many thanks," the Great Demon Old Man smiled amiably, nodding at Bai Qing in the distance before seating himself on the other side, consciously maintaining a safe distance from them both.

Bai Qing cast a glance at Song Changming and did not further intervene.

Since this Great Demon mentioned the presence of an opportunity inside, he didn’t mind continuing to stay and observe.

Suddenly, Song Changming vaguely heard rumbling sounds emanating from within the mountain.

Unfortunately, his perception was limited by the Celestial Ruins Realm’s energy field, preventing him from extending his senses to investigate, relying only on his hearing.

Was someone fighting inside?

Song Changming was somewhat uncertain, his gaze on the still stable mountain range before him.

Buzz!

At this moment, an unexpected energy disturbance emerged from within the Black Mountain.

Like an electromagnetic signal, it was captured by Song Changming, alongside Bai Qing and the Great Demon, who also detected this strange energy fluctuation.

More importantly, within a few minutes, this energy disturbance spread throughout the entire Celestial Ruins Realm.

All beings within the Secret Realm, whether human or demon, as long as their cultivation and tao practice were advanced, sensed this energy disturbance.

Then came a second, a third, like raindrops on the lake, the ripples were hard to ignore.

"Hmm?!" Hua Sichen, flying in the sky with seven or eight Martial Arts Grandmasters following him, all halted.

"What’s happening?" A Martial Arts Grandmaster in the group asked.

This spatial disturbance was evidently unusual.

The stronger one’s power, the more sensitive they were to this abnormal energy.

"It’s emanating from somewhere!" An elder looked toward the far-off horizon.

"Assistant Minister Hua, shall we go have a look?"

All the Martial Arts Grandmasters looked towards Hua Sichen, the undisputed leader in the group.

In terms of identity, status, strength, and cultivation, he was an unchallenged, convincing presence.

Hua Sichen pondered briefly, then nodded, altering the pre-set path.

"Let’s go!"

They transformed into streaks of light, breaking through the sky.

Elsewhere.

"Celestial Venerable!" A Great Demon, noticing the energy disturbance, was somewhat surprised.

"Let’s go take a look, it doesn’t seem far away," Celestial Venerable Mo turned back briefly before stepping out and disappearing from sight.

The scorching arid lands, the chilling sinister lands, the places where yellow sand filled the sky...

The clouds stirred from different places in the Celestial Ruins Realm, figures and demon shadows, all influenced by this energy disturbance, rapidly converging on the Black Mountain Ring Range in the west where Song Changming was located.

"Where are you going!"

Accompanying a slightly lackadaisical voice, a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the sky noticed a surge of massive demon qi rushing towards him.

At the critical moment, the Martial Arts Grandmaster explosively unleashed the Master’s Power, but under a pale demonic claw, it shattered instantly.

The surging demon qi directly engulfed this Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Once the demon qi dissipated, there remained only a white-haired, white-clothed man in the air, holding the Martial Arts Grandmaster he had just encountered.

At this moment, the Martial Arts Grandmaster was bleeding from all seven orifices, life unwillingly extinguished.

The white-clothed, white-haired man opened his mouth, transforming into a large, savage maw, swallowing the Martial Arts Grandmaster’s corpse in one gulp, then reverted to his original form, elegantly wiping his mouth, as if he had only consumed a trivial snack.

"How wonderful, there are aplenty Human Race Grandmasters here, no need to scramble with siblings over scarce Grandmaster flesh and blood, hehe..." The demon man remarked with a sigh.

"Let’s go." Two others with white clothes and hair, similar in appearance, appeared, exuding overwhelming, terrifying demon qi!

"The real feast is not here."
