341: Hunting, the man behind the scenes

"After all, at this moment, you do not even know if you can survive this ordeal."

"If one is still alive but has no Demonic Stones to use, that would be too much of a loss."

The 190,400th year.

You have already spent a hundred years in Hidden Demon City.

During this time, the crisis never gave you any warning.

Instead, it was the other Cultivators in Hidden Demon City.

Over these years, due to their constant mutual slaughter, their numbers have plummeted to about one-third of the original amount.

At the same time, several organizations have formed here.

Although everyone is clearly aware of their fate, they still live day by day, having built this place into a small, fully functional world.

Of course, since the mastermind went to such great lengths, it is impossible for them to let you all pass the time here peacefully.

The moment you reached your hundredth year here, the entire space suddenly began to vibrate.

Endless Earth Fire rose up, causing all the Cultivators in Hidden Demon City to let out painful wails.

They screamed continuously, but there was simply no way to escape from here.

All these Cultivators can do is wait in Hidden Demon City to be burned to ashes.

You watch the scene before you with a solemn expression.

You know that you must take action.

Although you can currently resist the burning of the Earth Fire, it will not be long before it burns you into ashes as well.

During this time, you need to kill those Demonic Realm Cultivators who are still barely resisting the Earth Fire.

Only in this way can you rely on the God of One-on-One Battles to withstand this Earth Fire and draw out the mastermind.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The moment you decided to kill the other Demonic Realm Cultivators, you had already taken action.

Golden light flickered constantly in your hands, taking the lives of one Demonic Realm Cultivator after another who were still struggling.

"My Lord, no, don't!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"..."

Those Demonic Realm Cultivators struggled incessantly.

But you can only express deep regret for this.

Because they are destined to die.

To be burned to death by Earth Fire is as light as a feather.

But if they die by your hand, it is as heavy as Mount Tai.

As the power of the Earth Fire continuously increases, the pressure you feel grows greater and greater.

But there are still quite a few Demonic Realm Cultivators left in Hidden Demon City.

Moreover, these people have decent cultivation bases, and their speed is very fast.

Therefore, during the first purge, you temporarily spared them.

"Come out."

"Since you will die sooner or later, why suffer the torment of being burned by the Earth Fire?"

Hearing these words, several Demonic Realm Cultivators emerged one after another.

Their expressions were ferocious, and their eyes gleamed with malice.

"Which Lord set up this place?"

"We are Cultivators of the Wrathful Demon Sect, and this is Mo You, the Disciple of the Second Elder of the Wrathful Demon Sect."

"We hope you, Fellow Daoist, can put in a good word for us and let the Lord behind you spare our lives."

"After this is done, we will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Yes, Fellow Daoist, my master might even know the Lord behind you. Look... could you help introduce us?"

You nod with a smile.

Those Wrathful Demon Sect Cultivators thought there was still hope.

But the next second, a streak of golden light shot out, aiming directly at their vital points.

"You!"

Before they could finish speaking, all the Wrathful Demon Sect Cultivators fell to the ground, having completely lost their lives.

The gap between them and you is simply too great.

With the help of the golden light, you, who are only at the Middle Stage of the Fifth Realm, can even exert power equivalent to the Late Stage or even the Peak of the Sixth Realm.

On the other hand, look at these Wrathful Demon Sect Cultivators.

Their speed is indeed not bad.

But at most, they are only at the Early Stage of the Sixth Realm; how could they possibly be a match for you in a single exchange?

You continue to reap the lives of those Demonic Realm Cultivators who are still struggling.

And they realize this as well.

The survivors unite one after another, preparing to resist you together.

You cannot be bothered to stop them.

After all, what you want to do is round them all up.

Their actions actually save you quite a bit of time.

"Have you all come out?"

"This is the only chance you have to kill me."

"If you miss this time, there will be no chance of survival."

As soon as you finish speaking, a few more Demonic Realm Cultivators appear in the team resisting you.

"Fellow Daoist, our cultivation bases are not high; it would be difficult for the Lord behind you to gain much improvement by refining us."

"It would be better if you raised your hand in mercy and spared our lives. We are willing to be driven by you and plunder vast resources for you."

Looking at these Demonic Realm Cultivators, you cannot help but sigh softly.

Admittedly.

Their proposal is very reasonable, very good.

But unfortunately, this place was not set up by you, and you do not know who the mastermind is.

Like them, you are just struggling here.

It is just that you have a slightly better chance of breaking the situation than they do.

If you let these people die before you, you can survive.

Thinking of this, you take action once again.

The golden light sweeps across the many Demonic Realm Cultivators, instantly raising a mist of blood.

Several of the Demonic Realm Cultivators with higher cultivation bases try to struggle, but as the golden light in your hands flickers continuously, they are quickly defeated.

You strike one after another, quickly ending the lives of these Demonic Realm Cultivators.

Even if some of them manage to escape, they are already heavily injured and have no power to resist the encroachment of the Earth Fire.

Soon, the God of One-on-One Battles is successfully triggered.

You can no longer feel the damage from the Earth Fire.

You sit cross-legged, quietly waiting for the mastermind to appear.

The 190,500th year.

Another hundred years pass.

You are still waiting for the mastermind to appear.

But for some reason, the other party has not appeared for a long time.

You do not know what the other party is thinking, but to you, this is good news.

Because although you are in a land devoid of spiritual energy, your cultivation base is constantly climbing.

If the other party does not appear for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, then during this time, you will surely reach an extremely Heaven-Defying Realm.

The 192,000th year.

You successfully make a Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Fifth Realm.

But just at this moment, a puzzled voice comes from the sky.

"You... seem to have had a Breakthrough?"

"How is this possible? This is a land devoid of spiritual energy; how did you do it?"

You look up.

Although you do not see any figure, you know that the mastermind has arrived.
