373: Shadow Demon Ruins Emerge
A few days later.
Eastern part of the Eastern Region.
A remote place.
A massive valley suddenly released countless streaks of deep black Law spiritual light, blotting out the sky and sun, causing the surroundings to instantly become incredibly dark.
At the same time, a violent surge of Devilish Qi spread from within the valley to the surrounding area.
Soon, the area within a few miles was transformed into a domain of Devilish Qi, manifesting countless deep black humanoid phantoms and various Yao Beast phantoms.
Great changes also occurred on the ground, which cracked inch by inch as if subjected to extremely powerful pressure, and a strange and deep aura spread out.
This massive commotion immediately caught the attention of nearby Demonic Cultivators.
Countless streaks of light arrived from afar, and many Demonic Cultivators soon reached the vicinity of the valley, beginning to buzz with discussion:
"This... such powerful Devilish Qi.
Could the entrance to the rumored Shadow Demon Clan Ruins be inside the valley?
After several hundred years, it has actually opened again?"
"What? How could it be here? I remember the last time these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins appeared, they were not far from Demon Shadow City!
Why is it in such a remote place this time?
If it hadn't released such powerful Devilish Qi, we probably wouldn't have even noticed it appearing here!"
"It's perfectly normal for the location to change. The Shadow Demon Clan Ruins is a fragmented Small World that constantly floats and changes positions within the Void Realm.
Legend has it that many of the Demon Shadow Sect's powerful secret techniques were obtained from these ruins!
This is the place where the Shadow Demon Clan lived tens of thousands of years ago; there might still be many good things hidden inside.
According to Demonic Cultivators who have explored it before, there are particularly many Heaven And Earth Treasures within these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins.
It's just that there are many powerful Restrictions."
"Even though it's a ruin of the Shadow Demon Clan, there are still many things suitable for us Demonic Cultivators to use.
It would be great if we could get some precious Heaven And Earth Treasure or Demonic Path secret technique!"
"Wait, why can't I get close to these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins?"
"The higher a person's Realm, the greater the resistance they face when trying to enter the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins.
So it's said that only Cultivators below the Enlightenment Realm can enter smoothly."
Many Demonic Cultivators were eager to try and enter the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins directly.
However, perhaps because it wasn't yet time for it to fully open.
As soon as they approached, they were frantically attacked by the phantoms within the domain of Devilish Qi.
Helpless, they could only temporarily retreat and stay away from the valley.
Just then, a group of black-clothed Cultivators flew in from a distance. Their auras were extremely powerful, causing the surrounding Demonic Cultivators to instinctively move aside.
"Are they Demonic Cultivators from the Demon Shadow Sect?
They actually arrived so quickly!"
"It's normal; this eastern part of the Eastern Region is the Demon Shadow Sect's territory.
Once they found out the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins had emerged, they would definitely hurry over!"
"This is trouble. Now that the Demon Shadow Sect's Demonic Cultivators are here, can we still enter the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins?
They wouldn't monopolize these Shadow Demon Clan Ruins, would they?
Even if we can get in, our strength is no match for the Demon Shadow Sect's Demonic Cultivators!"
"Probably not!
Currently, the Five Great Demonic Sects are planning to improve the strength of all Demonic Cultivators in the Eastern Region, so they definitely won't monopolize the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins.
Furthermore, there aren't many Body Dao Integration Realm Demonic Cultivators in the Demon Shadow Sect right now. It's said that more than half died after the last attack on the Dao Yi Holy Land.
The ones coming now are basically all below the fifth level of the Body Dao Integration Realm, so we might not necessarily lose out to the Demon Shadow Sect's Demonic Cultivators!"
Many Demonic Cultivators discussed amongst themselves.
At this moment, the most conspicuous person in the Demon Shadow Sect group was not the Enlightenment Realm Elder leading them.
Instead, it was an ordinary-looking Gray-robed Youth at the back of the group, the only Cultivator not wearing Demon Shadow Sect attire.
He was none other than Ye Jingchen, who had come from the Central Domain to the Eastern Region.
"Is this the Eastern Region Shadow Demon Clan Ruins Revered Master spoke of?"
Ye Jingchen looked at the dark valley in the distance and could faintly see a deep passage that seemed to lead into a special Small World.
After leaving the Dao Yi Holy Land previously, in order to seek revenge on Su Yun as soon as possible, he had returned to the Li Family for a few days before leaving again.
He went to various places in the Central Domain for experience, and after several months of cultivation, he had already reached the ninth level of the Soul Emergence Realm.
This also happened to be around the time his Revered Master had told him one of the ancient ruins would likely open.
This ancient ruin was the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins, located in the Eastern Region.
Thus, he left the Central Domain and came to the Eastern Region.
At first, he thought the Eastern Region was blockaded by Demonic Cultivators.
He had no way to enter.
But his Revered Master sent a message telling him to contact the Demon Shadow Sect directly.
So, with half-doubts, he contacted the Demonic Cultivators of the Demon Shadow Sect.
To his surprise, the Demon Shadow Sect's Grand Elder was an old acquaintance of his Revered Master, so he was allowed to enter the Eastern Region directly.
After waiting for several days, the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins finally emerged.
"That familiar feeling is here. This time, I will definitely obtain a great Opportunity, so Su Yun, just you wait!
I will come for my revenge soon!"
Ye Jingchen grinned and said confidently.
At this moment, several Soul Emergence Realm Demonic Cultivators from the Demon Shadow Sect approached and complimented him:
"Brother Ye, once we enter the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins later, let's look out for each other!"
"Indeed, Brother Ye is the Young Lord of a Hidden Sect; your strength must be extraordinary. A mere Shadow Demon Clan Ruins will surely be no trouble for Brother Ye!"
"Young Master Ye, I'll be relying on you to protect me later!"
"That's right, Young Master Ye, you'll protect us, won't you?"
Then, several heavily made-up female Cultivators from the Demon Shadow Sect also surrounded Ye Jingchen, speaking in coquettish voices.
"Of course, of course!
Since we've met, with me covering you, exploring the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins will definitely be a breeze."
Feeling the flattery of the female Cultivators from the Demon Shadow Sect, Ye Jingchen waved his hand and spoke with extreme confidence.
Internally, he was secretly delighted.
This was the treatment he deserved.
Not like last time at the Dao Yi Holy Land, being defeated in public and finally leaving in disgrace!
Moreover, what he was saying now was the truth.
Although he hadn't reached the Body Dao Integration Realm yet, his strength was already around the sixth level of the Body Dao Integration Realm.
With the various trump cards his Revered Master had left him, he could retreat safely even if he encountered an enemy at the Enlightenment Realm.
At this point, several Demonic Cultivators at the first or second level of the Body Dao Integration Realm at the front of the Demon Shadow Sect group overheard the conversation of Ye Jingchen and the others. They turned around and spoke to Ye Jingchen in a displeased tone:
"What Heavenly Nether Mountain? Never heard of it!
In the future, the Five Great Demonic Sects, including our Demon Shadow Sect, will be the strongest powers in the Haomiao Realm.
You're just at the ninth level of the Soul Emergence Realm, yet you talk so arrogantly!"
"Yeah, don't end up needing our protection after entering the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins!"
Ye Jingchen, who was at the back, felt quite displeased upon hearing this.
These Demon Shadow Sect Demonic Cultivators were truly blind.
He was the Young Lord of Heavenly Nether Mountain.
His future prospects were limitless.
How dare they look down on him?
Once they entered the Shadow Demon Clan Ruins, if he got the chance, he would definitely give them a good lesson!"
