Chapter 281: Chapter 244-245: Thunderbolt Methods, Successive Annihilation

"Desolate-level Bloodline!?"

Xu Chang’an looked at the Bloodline grade displayed on his panel, slightly puzzled.

Above an Upper-class Bloodline was a Demon King Bloodline; this was something all demons knew.

But why did the panel display Desolate-level Bloodline?

’Then again, I’m an Unparalleled Demon King now. To still be defined by a Demon King Bloodline would be thinking too small!’

’So above Upper-class is Desolate Level! Then what’s above Desolate-level!?’

After a moment of doubt, Xu Chang’an quickly stopped thinking about it.

Now was not the time to be considering such things.

His Bloodline Advancement and breakthrough had taken about a day.

The time until the Cyan Yang Secret Realm closed was drawing nearer. The period where the Power of Restriction in the Cyan Yang Secret Realm was weakened only lasted a year. Once that year was up, the Power of Restriction would gradually strengthen again. At that point, the cultivators inside the Secret Realm wouldn’t be able to get out even if they wanted to.

Therefore, the Human Race Cultivators were bound to leave the Secret Realm within the next few days!

After devouring all the remaining resources in the various Storage Bags...

SWOOSH!

Xu Chang’an transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the exit of the Cyan Yang Secret Realm.

Outside the Secret Realm, numerous Demon Kings stood waiting.

Xu Chang’an’s Demon Sense swept over the area.

After breaking through to the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, the range of Xu Chang’an’s Demon Sense had increased to 24,000 zhang!

At the same time, his true Demon Body was a massive 420 zhang in size!

Outside the Secret Realm, he had gathered a total of twenty-three Demon Kings.

Most were in the Early-stage Core Formation, with a small portion in the Mid-stage Core Formation. There were only four Top-tier Demon Kings at the Late-stage Core Formation.

Inside Ruyi True Monarch’s Storage Bag were several Array Flags of a decent Grade.

Xu Chang’an distributed them one by one, having the Demon Kings present set them up.

Now that he had reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, his confidence was abundant. However, when facing Human Race Cultivators, it was always better to have more strength.

The Great Sun Essence was already in his possession. Technically, Xu Chang’an had already achieved his objective for this battle.

But now, he had set his sights on the Spiritual Items within the Secret Realm.

’This is a rare opportunity!’

’If I don’t seize this chance to plunder, I’ll be wasting a golden opportunity!’

To break through to the Late-stage Nascent Soul, his panel needed to accumulate a total of five hundred thousand Energy.

Earning wealth through his Alchemy Skill to buy and devour Spiritual Items had worked before, but it wouldn’t work now.

His Alchemy Skill was only at Tier Three Middle Grade, which now lagged far behind his Cultivation.

If he continued to accumulate resources slowly as before, the time required would be measured in millennia.

Furthermore, the alchemy legacy he possessed only went up to Tier Three Middle Grade. For the time being, he couldn’t advance any further.

Even if he could obtain a suitable alchemy legacy, his skill level couldn’t be improved in a short amount of time.

A total of nineteen Nascent Soul True Monarchs had entered the Cyan Yang Secret Realm.

He had already killed one Black Profound True Monarch and one Ruyi True Monarch. That meant there were still seventeen human Nascent Souls inside the Secret Realm.

Two at Mid-stage Nascent Soul, and fifteen at Early-stage Nascent Soul.

’If I can seize all of their fortunes, then...’

’Reaching the Late-stage Nascent Soul won’t be just a dream!’

Right now, Xu Chang’an’s ordinary combat power was comparable to the Late-stage Nascent Soul. If he unleashed all of his Talent Divine Techniques, he could even potentially suppress and kill a Late-stage Nascent Soul.

Even if things went south, he could easily make a calm retreat!

This was the ultimate source of his confidence in attempting to seize the Cultivation Resources of the various Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

Outside the Cyan Yang Secret Realm, Arrays were densely packed, and Demon Kings were positioned everywhere.

Further out were the Demon Race’s Top-tier Great Demons, Veteran Great Demons, and ordinary Great Demons.

On the outermost layer was the vast Demon Army, mostly composed of Old Demons and Little Demons at the Qi Refining Realm.

Because they were in the Netherworld Mountain Range, the number of Little Demons in the Demon Race was extremely large.

They could absolutely employ a demon-sea tactic!

However, this was only effective against the lower and middle-tier Human Race Cultivators. Against Core Formation Zhenren and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, a demon-sea tactic was utterly meaningless.

Xu Chang’an shrank his body down to the size of an ordinary mouse, concealed his aura, and waited quietly.

Time slowly ticked by!

There were still two days left until the one-year mark!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Streaks of light shot out from the Secret Realm.

"Proceed according to plan!"

A Demon King transmitted via Demon Sense.

BUZZ—BUZZ—BUZZ—

The Array Flag formations that had been laid out long ago began to activate.

Although the power of these Arrays was average, there were a great number of them!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Pillars of light descended, locking onto the streaks of light and blasting away.

The first Human Race Cultivators to emerge were not Nascent Soul True Monarchs or Core Formation Zhenren, but merely cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Their expressions changed drastically as they faced the barrage from the Arrays.

"There really is a Demon Race siege!"

"Damn it!"

"Retreat!"

Some cultivators began to retreat back into the Secret Realm.

In mid-air, bolts of Magic rained down and Magical Artifacts zipped back and forth.

In the end, at least half of the Human Race Cultivators managed to flee back inside the Secret Realm.

"These Human Race Cultivators are truly cunning!"

A Demon King said, looking at the Secret Realm’s passage not far away.

"Indeed, they knew to send out scouts to check the situation! Our troop distribution has probably been exposed. The next batch of cultivators won’t be so easy to deal with!"

"Hmph, the Demon Emperor anticipated this scenario long ago! All we need to do is prevent the Human Race Cultivators from getting out! If they stay in the Secret Realm, once the Power of Restriction strengthens, they might never be able to leave! The ones who should be anxious aren’t us, but them!"

"We’re waiting at ease for an exhausted enemy! Hahaha..."

"Human Race Cultivators, come and die!"

"..."

The Demon Kings communicated with each other via Demon Sense.

Their task was simple: guard the passage to the Secret Realm and don’t let the Human Race Cultivators get out easily.

「Half a day later.」

A large cluster of light streaks shot out.

At their head were dozens of Core Formation Zhenren.

Inside the Cyan Yang Secret Realm, there had been much infighting among the Human Race Cultivators. Therefore, although there were many Core Formation Zhenren, most of them had weak auras and were injured.
