Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 421: Leaving the Treasure for Later, Rushing to the Swarm Domain
High-Tier Demon God!
The moment they heard those four words, the color drained from Rainn’s and Cheryl’s pretty faces. Their delicate bodies trembled uncontrollably.
That was a terrifying existence equivalent to a human Greater God!
In an era where the gods did not appear, a High-Tier Demon God was the ultimate walking calamity of the mortal world!
Yet there was not the slightest trace of fear on Aiden’s face. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold, arrogant arc.
So what if it was a High-Tier Demon God?
Now that his Inner Spirit had been formed and the laws were in his grasp, he just so happened to lack a sufficiently weighty stepping stone to test his explosively increased combat power!
“Lead the way.”
Aiden stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind. His tone was so calm it was almost terrifying.
Looking into Aiden’s unfathomable black eyes, which seemed as terrifying as the depths of the Abyss itself, the old deserter was so frightened that he nearly collapsed to the ground.
Its mouth fell open as it screamed in utter terror, “Lord! You can’t go!”
“Lord Pellira is searching everywhere for outsiders. If you step into the Swarm’s territory, it’ll be nine deaths and only one chance of survival!”
…
“Lord! You can’t go!”
The old Crimson Mosquito soldier knelt on the ground, its forehead pressed tightly against the cold stone floor, its entire body trembling like a sieve.
“That is Lord Pellira, a High-Tier Demon God from the middle layers of the Abyss! Crushing us would be as easy as crushing an ant!”
Aiden stood tall and straight, his deep black eyes utterly calm.
High-Tier Demon God?
In the eyes of ordinary Reclassers, a being like that was the ultimate disaster walking the earth.
But to Aiden, whose Inner Spirit had now reached a great level of power, it was nothing more than the perfect whetstone.
He was determined to obtain the Transmutation Altar.
And he had to bring Irene back as well.
“Aiden, are we going with you?”
Rainn took a deep breath and forced down the shock in her heart, tightening her grip on the Primordial Miko Staff.
She knew the road ahead was dangerous, but she did not want to be someone who could only stand behind him and watch.
Aiden turned his head and looked at the two sisters, whose pretty faces were tense. Then he shook his head slightly.
“No. You two stay here.”
“This ultimate treasure of the Supreme Miko is far too important. It cannot fall into someone else’s hands.”
“I will use the law of space to seal this place. You will stay and guard the Miko Temple. Use the Inner Spirit fragments here to keep improving your strength.”
Aiden’s voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority, like that of an emperor.
Rainn and Cheryl looked at each other. Although they were worried, they also understood that Aiden was right.
If they followed him into a battle against a High-Tier Demon God, they would not be able to help him. Instead, they would only become a burden.
“Alright. We’ll listen to you.”
“Please be careful.”
Cheryl bit her red lip, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.
Aiden nodded slightly, then slowly raised his right hand.
Buzz!
At that moment, the void shook violently. Countless golden threads of spatial law dropped down from thin air.
They were the power of the law of space he had just comprehended. Driven by his Supreme Ruler-level Inner Spirit, they released a pressure so heavy it was almost suffocating.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the huge bronze doors of the front hall slammed shut. A massive golden barrier, like an upside-down bowl, covered the entire treasure vault and sealed it tight.
A law-based seal!
Unless a Greater God who had mastered the law of space came in person, there was no way to break through this barrier by force.
After finishing this, Aiden looked down at the old Crimson Mosquito soldier lying weakly on the ground.
He slowly reached out one finger and gently tapped the old soldier between the brows.
Soul Search!
A vast but gentle Inner Spirit strength swept through the old soldier’s memories in an instant. A clear map of the underground insect domain was burned into Aiden’s mind.
“Ah…”
The old Crimson Mosquito soldier did not even feel any pain. He only felt his mind go blank. When he came back to himself, Aiden had already disappeared.
“Let’s go.”
Aiden’s voice was still echoing through the great canyon, but his real body had already turned into a streak of light and rushed into the darkness at the deepest part of the canyon.
Alone, he charged straight into the Swarm Domain!
The wind roared past his ears. The temperature around him began to drop sharply, replaced by a thick smell of blood and filth, so strong it almost felt solid.
Half an hour later.
Aiden slowly stopped.
The view ahead suddenly opened up, but the scene before him was enough to make any ordinary Reclasser’s scalp go numb.
It was an endless dark green swamp. The air was filled with poisonous fog.
Buzz—!
A sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang out.
In the sky, countless poisonous insects gathered like a black cloud that covered the sun. They rushed toward Aiden, the outsider, from every direction.
Those insects came in all kinds of strange shapes. Each one gave off a terrifying aura at the Diamond Rank, or even the Starlight Rank.
Ten thousand insects tore through the air as poisonous fog spread everywhere.
But Aiden only stood there in silence. He did not even raise his eyes.
“Get lost.”
With one word, thunder cracked through the void.
Boom!
A violent force of thunder law burst out from his body. It turned into a sweeping ring of lightning and spread across several miles in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The moment the insects touched the lightning, they did not even have time to scream. They were all burned into black ash.
The sky and earth were cleared in an instant.
Just then, deep inside the swamp, a terrifying demonic power awakened, heavy enough to drive people into despair.
Under that pressure, the space around it began to twist and collapse.
Splash!
The muddy swamp churned as if it were boiling. In the deepest darkness, a giant python-like Demon God, as huge as a mountain, slowly raised its head.
The massive python Demon God stretched out its full body. It was nearly a thousand zhang long, and thick green poison flowed across its black scales.
“Lowly human, how dare you enter Lord Pellira’s territory without permission?”
The Demon God flicked its blood-red tongue. Its voice sounded like two rusty iron plates grinding together, shaking the poisonous fog in the sky into wild waves.
It was a High-Tier Demon God, and also the strongest guard under Pellira’s command: the Heaven-Devouring Wyrm.
A terrifying demonic pressure swept in like a crashing wave. The void around him could not bear the weight, and it made sharp cracking sounds, like glass breaking.
Facing a pressure strong enough to choke an ordinary Venerable, Aiden only stood there quietly.
His eyes were cold, as if he were looking at a lifeless corpse.
“Noisy.”
Aiden parted his lips and spoke two icy words.
Boom!
At that moment, the thunder law inside his body erupted completely. The strength of his Supreme Ruler-level Inner Spirit poured into it without holding anything back.
The dark underground insect domain was instantly lit up by endless purple-gold lightning, bright as day.
“Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Fall.”
Aiden held his right hand like a blade and casually slashed forward.
Crack—!
A purple-gold divine thunderbolt, as thick as a mountain, tore through the void. It carried a law power that could destroy everything, along with the terrifying might of a 10,000x critical hit, and struck down with crushing force.
In the Wyrm’s huge vertical pupils, despair and fear filled them in an instant.
The High-Tier Demon God body it was so proud of was as weak as a sheet of paper before this divine thunder.
Puff!
There was no suspense at all. It did not even have time to scream. Its thousand-zhang demon body was instantly turned into vapor in the lightning and vanished without a trace.
A faintly glowing High-Tier Demon God Inner Spirit fragment, along with a few thin strands of law power, slowly drifted down from the void.
Aiden waved his sleeve and put them away.
“Too weak.”
He brushed off dust that wasn’t even there from the corner of his clothes, his face calm, as if he had only stepped on an ant by the roadside.
Buzz.
The memories he had taken from the old Crimson Mosquito soldier flashed quickly through his mind. A complex map of the core area of the insect domain became completely clear.
That place was where the High-Tier Demon God Pellira was refining the “Transmutation Altar.”
Aiden’s body flickered. He turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared from the spot, rushing toward the depths of the insect domain.
As he went deeper, the scene around him became even stranger and more shocking.
The flat swamp slowly vanished. In its place appeared an endless underground forest of stone pillars.
Hanging densely from those towering stone pillars were countless huge dark green cocoons.
Each cocoon rose and fell in a steady rhythm, like countless beating hearts, giving off a sickening wave of life energy.
This was the hatching nest of the Swarm. There were so many of them that it was enough to make one’s scalp crawl.
In the center of the stone forest, sacrificial altars made of white bones and rotten flesh rose from the ground.
Pale green flames burned on the altars. Countless low-level members of the Swarm circled the altars, screaming wildly as they carried out an ancient and evil ritual.
The size and strangeness of the entire insect domain were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
“So this is the foundation of the middle layer of the Abyss?”
Aiden looked down at everything from above.
But in the face of absolute power, numbers were nothing more than a meaningless figure.
His gaze pierced through the layers of fog and locked onto the terrifying source deep inside, the place that was releasing the pressure of a Demi-Sacred Artifact.
…
After passing through layer after layer of stone forests, the sweet smell of blood and the stench of decay in the air became almost unbearable.
Aiden moved like an invisible ghostly wind, perfectly blending into the cracks of the void.
Ahead, the space suddenly opened up.
It was an underground basin so vast it was almost impossible to imagine, like the eye of a Demon buried deep beneath the earth.
“Roar—!”
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—!”
Countless terrifying sounds of wings and shrieks came together like a raging sea, shaking the void again and again.
As far as the eye could see, there was an endless army of the Swarm.
Hundreds of thousands of savage Swarm warriors packed the basin in tight layers, leaving no open space at all.
There were Onyx-Plate Mantises, each several zhang tall, with front limbs shaped like the scythes of death.
There were Galestinger Scorpions, with wings on their backs and strong acid mist spraying from their bodies.
There were even heavily armored beetles, like moving fortresses, giving off a cold and violent aura.
And in the center of the hundreds of thousands of Swarm soldiers stood a white bone altar a thousand meters tall.
