668: Sky-Splitting Blood-Eyed Hou

"As expected." Yao Delong nodded; everything was within expectation.

He made a decisive decision: "Senior Sister Han, please settle down here and regulate the Medicinal Pill. All Elders should also seize the time to recover their state.

After half an incense stick of time, we will depart at full speed and rush straight to the core area where the Secret Realm is located!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices filled with unprecedented confidence!

With the unfathomable True Disciple Yao present, even if the path ahead was a Dragon's Pool and a Tiger's Den, they would dare to charge through!

Han Yun sat cross-legged, fully refining the vast Yimu Vitality within her body, feeling her injuries rapidly recovering.

The gratitude she felt toward Yao Delong was intertwined with a subtle sense of distance brought about by the disparity in their strength.

Ultimately, these feelings transformed into deeper curiosity and solid trust for this mysterious Junior Brother.

Her emerald eyes glanced at the tall, profound black figure beside her, then slowly closed, her aura quickly becoming long and profound.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Demon Transformation Mountain Range, lay the Sky-Splitting Demon King's Lair!

This was a terrifying cave constructed from a mixture of colossal Primordial Beast Bones and solidified lava.

The cave walls were inlaid with various gems emitting demonic light and the skulls of unknown Yao Beasts.

The air was thick with blood, sulfur, and an intoxicating, decadent fragrance.

On the throne at the core of the cave sat a figure as massive and imposing as a small mountain!

He wore a Deep Red Ferocious Battle Armor that looked as if it had been forged from solidified lava and dark, sunken blood, covered in twisted runes and sharp bone spurs.

Beneath a mane of crimson hair that seemed to burn like fire was a rugged, ferocious face covered in strange, dark red Demonic Markings.

Most frightening were his pair of vertical pupils, massive and carved from the finest blood diamonds—the Sky-Splitting Blood Eyes!

At this moment, those pupils flickered with light reflecting tyranny and pleasure.

In one hand, he clutched a massive piece of roasted meat dripping with golden grease and radiating powerful Blood Qi fluctuations.

By its shape, it seemed to be the essence of a powerful Yao Beast, while his other hand casually fondled a Human Race female Cultivator kneeling and trembling on the floor.

Beside his throne, several scantily clad, graceful Transformed Demonesses and Human Race female Cultivators with vacant eyes carefully waited on him, either pouring wine or massaging his shoulders.

Suddenly!

The hand that was fondling the Human Race female Cultivator’s curves violently paused!

The wine cup in his other hand, forged from Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron mixed with Star Gold, was instantly crushed and twisted by the terrifying power he unconsciously emitted!

"Hmm?!"

The a mythical beast let out a low growl, muffled like thunder, and his blood-diamond vertical pupils suddenly constricted.

A monstrous wave of Killing Intent, so substantial it caused the temperature of the entire cave to plummet, erupted!

"Good! Very good!" He slammed the deformed wine cup onto the ground, producing a harsh metallic clang!

The raging Demonic Power swept out like a hurricane, sending all the serving maids beside the throne flying backward, coughing up blood, where they crashed heavily against the cave wall, their fates unknown!

"How dare someone kill my trusted Demon Marshal?! Who is it?! Which Human Race ant is so bold?!"

The Sky-Splitting Demon King's roar shook the entire cave, causing the embedded gems on the rock walls to shatter!

Just then, a powerful Demonic Qi rapidly approached from outside the cave.

"Report—!!!"

A Ninth-Rank Peak Demon Marshal with a powerful aura, clad in Black Feather Battle Armor and sporting a pair of massive Bat Wings on his back, strode quickly into the cave.

Ignoring the mess on the floor and the Demon King’s fury, he knelt on one knee and reported in a loud voice:

"Reporting, Great King! The exact location of the Secret Realm entrance has been locked down!

Currently, outside the core region, the 'Burial Dragon Valley,' top Sects of the Human Race, such as the Myriad Sword Valley and the Nine Nether Sect, have gathered.

There are also numerous Loose Cultivators and teams from other Yao Race factions!"

The Sky-Splitting Demon King's surging rage was interrupted by this news, as if splashed by cold water, and his violent aura momentarily stagnated.

A hint of cold calculation flashed through his blood eyes.

The Secret Realm! That Demon God Barrier-Breaking Pill that concerned his ability to Break through shackles and assault a higher Realm! That was the top priority!

The loss of one Demon Marshal was painful, but compared to that legendary Treasure Pill, it was insignificant!

"Oh? The entrance is finally confirmed to be in the Burial Dragon Valley?"

The Sky-Splitting Demon King forcibly suppressed the Killing Intent in his heart, his voice returning to a low tone tinged with greed. "When will it open?"

"Judging by the spatial fluctuations, it will certainly open in no more than three days!" the Bat-Wing Demon Marshal confirmed.

"Good! Good! Good!" The Sky-Splitting Demon King repeated the word 'good' three times. His previous fury seemed to have never happened, replaced by extreme excitement and greed!

He waved a large hand:

"Issue the order! All Demon Marshals, gather your elite subordinates and head immediately to the Burial Dragon Valley to assemble!

This King must obtain that Demon God Barrier-Breaking Pill! Anyone who dares to obstruct me shall be killed without mercy!!"

"As you command!" The Bat-Wing Demon Marshal accepted the order and quickly departed, transforming into a black shadow.

The cave fell silent again, permeated only by the sickening smell of blood and sulfur.

The Sky-Splitting Demon King's blood eyes swept over the groaning serving maids on the ground, a trace of cruel satisfaction appearing on his face.

He casually grabbed the nearest Yao Race maid, whose eyes were hollow, and lifted her into his embrace like a chick.

His coarse hand probed her wantonly, while his other hand grabbed a new piece of roasted meat and crammed it into his mouth, gulping it down.

"Killing my subordinates? Hmph... Once this King obtains the Treasure Pill and advances to Demon Emperor... whether it's the Yin Yang Sect or anyone else..."

As he enjoyed the maid's softness and chewed the flesh, cold and bloodthirsty light flickered in his blood eyes.

"...they will all pay the price! Your flesh and Essence Souls will be perfect for celebrating the Great Achievement of Divine Skill of this King! Hahahaha!"

The wild laughter echoed through the cave, filled with naked greed and cruelty.

For him, revenge? No rush. Before the Treasure Pill that could completely transform him, everything else had to stand aside!

The Sky-Splitting Demon King's maniacal laughter reverberated in the bloody cave, temporarily suppressing his vengeful Killing Intent.

Back to Yao Delong.

One hour later, the powerful medicinal efficacy of the yimu azure spirit pill was completely absorbed and refined by Han Yun.

She stood up straight; her aura was not only fully recovered but even more refined and condensed than before.

Her emerald eyes shone brightly, and her damaged Bright Silver Battle Armor was repaired by her Spiritual Qi, restoring her valiant and heroic appearance.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for the Sacred Medicine!" Han Yun bowed solemnly to Yao Delong, her eyes mixing gratitude and admiration.

Had it not been for this Medicinal Pill, she would have needed at least several months of rest to recover her Origin Qi.

"It is good that Senior Sister is unharmed." Yao Delong nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group. "Without further ado, let's depart!"

During the hour they spent recuperating, a hurricane-like piece of news had already swept across the depths of the entire Demon Transformation Mountain Range—

"An Ancient Secret Realm entrance has been discovered in the Burial Dragon Valley! It will open soon!"

Countless Cultivators and Yao Race members who were previously searching various parts of the mountain range rushed madly toward the Burial Dragon Valley, like sharks smelling blood.

Yao Delong and his party transformed into streaks of light, moving at full speed, racing toward the core area where Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi mingled and energy fluctuations were most intense.
