186: Chapter 186 Arrival at Black Fiend Island

"True, two ways to become stronger. Logically speaking... it shouldn't be possible for someone to have both at the same time," Little Demon mused, unable to figure it out.

Whether it's elevating bloodline or breaking through Shackles, both humans and other races can only choose one of the two.

An hour later, inside the hotel.

"The three of you will stay in Wolf Fang, as for you, go to the Qingqiu Camp Elite Class!" the old man spoke up.

Holy crap?

Yan Jing only then snapped out of it. "I didn't hear wrong, did I? Doesn't that mean entering the Super Ability Academy directly?"

"You didn't hear wrong. Let's part ways here!" Liu Siyuan left without staying long.

Xiong Chumo also pulled Yan Jing away. "We'll part ways here too! See you at the Super Ability Academy then."

"These guys... probably went through the back door!" Mu Cheng expressed serious suspicion.

Old Man: "Alright, I'll give you a lift."

Suddenly, Mu Cheng was sucked in by an invisible force and soon arrived atop the city wall.

"This old man's strength... just what level of existence is he?" Mu Cheng finally reacted.

Little Demon: "He should be in the Six Paths Shackles Realm! He can distort space with a flick of his hand."

"Forget it, forget it. By the way, what is this place?" Mu Cheng asked as he regained his composure.

Little Demon: "This is the scent of blood. If Little Demon's guess is correct... this should be the main Battlefield of Qingqiu Camp."

This city wall divided the area into two worlds; one side was a somewhat prosperous ancient street, while the other was incredibly desolate.

The trees were black-red, the stones were black-red, everything in sight was black-red.

"How does it feel? Interested in going somewhere with me?" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind.

It was a delicate young girl in red.

"Who are you? I'm not interested in going anywhere, do whatever you want!" Mu Cheng didn't have the slightest interest.

Little Demon: "Her strength is half-step God of Destruction. If Little Demon isn't mistaken, she is the Empress of Qingqiu."

"What's this? Can't you just let a person finish speaking?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor said in a delicate tone.

"This is really the Empress?"

Mu Cheng expressed serious suspicion, cleared his throat, and said, "Then tell me about it, and see if I'm interested in this place."

"Heisha Island. Enough nonsense, let's go!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor stopped pretending and suddenly became very serious.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mu Cheng wasn't stingy either, taking out a set of qianji and throwing it to her.

"Stop acting, you're the Empress of Qingqiu, right? With this thing, it should be easier to arrive."

"You kid... you actually recognized me. This thing is actually something this Empress has studied before." The Little Demon Fox Emperor was left speechless.

Using the qianji to transform into a flight backpack, the two of them soon soared into the sky, traveling through the clouds.

"This speed is really fast. I don't think it'll even take ten days to reach Heisha Island!" the Little Demon Fox Emperor said in shock.

Mu Cheng: "Ten days? Isn't that a bit much?"

Little Demon: "Master, the road to Heisha Island is not that simple. Without her, you probably wouldn't even find the way."

"I hope we don't encounter the Flying Heaven Stream or Black Water Silk!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor naturally knew the journey was fraught with danger, but she had no other choice.

"This Flying Heaven Stream, Black Water Silk, and those Devouring Tentacles—just what kind of existences are they?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Anyone would be interested in these three species that were locked in eternal conflict.

"It's hard to explain. You just need to know they are immortal and indestructible," the Little Demon Fox Emperor said, too lazy to explain.

In reality... it wasn't that she didn't want to explain, but that she truly didn't know the origins of these three species.

Deep within the second layer.

In a dilapidated palace, the surroundings were filled with clearly visible black energy, looking just like an energy source, being absorbed by a Black-Robed Man.

"Those five guys, what on earth are they good for? They can't even handle this little thing." The Man in Black suddenly opened his eyes and roared in a towering rage.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit hurried forward, knelt, and asked.

"What are your orders, My Lord?"

"Find out for me exactly who destroyed the Legendary Underground Palace." The Man in Black's voice sounded exceptionally angry.

The middle-aged man in the suit immediately prostrated himself, saying nervously: "My Lord... you're making things difficult for this humble one."

"Forget it, forget it. It's probably too late to do anything now."

The Man in Black suddenly changed his mind and stopped pressuring the man in the suit.

"Keep a close eye on Dongfang City for me. It's time to plan things out properly."

"Yes, I will go and arrange it personally right away." The man in the suit didn't dare stay for another second and left in a great hurry.

Unknowingly, a day passed just like that. Suddenly, the Little Demon Fox Emperor stopped and shouted.

"Not good, it's the Flying Heaven Stream! Land quickly!"

"It's too late, we're already surrounded." Mu Cheng also stopped, hovering in the air.

Sure enough, before long, the sky changed drastically. Black clouds pressed down on the city, accompanied by thunder and lightning, as if the end of the world had come.

"Are these... guys a bit too big? I don't even know what they are, and why hasn't a hidden hint appeared?" Mu Cheng looked at the sky, where huge disc-shaped objects appeared one after another, feeling very confused.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor said seriously, "What else could they be? Of course, it's the Flying Heaven Stream. We're actually lucky; if we encountered larger ones, we'd probably be finished."

"The weakness of the Flying Heaven Stream is the lightning attribute bloodline. Master, land quickly!" Little Demon's voice suddenly came.

Mu Cheng asked triumphantly, "I have lightning attribute attacks. Should I take them out?"

"That... let's wait a bit!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't dare be careless, observing very cautiously.

Mu Cheng scratched his head, feeling helpless. "What's the situation? It feels like they don't have any intention of attacking us."

No matter how he looked at them, they just seemed like hovering iron discs. He couldn't see anything special about them and felt no danger at all.

"Master, be careful. When these guys go crazy, they're not simple," Little Demon warned again.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "When these guys go crazy, they're even more terrifying than the Devouring Tentacles. Until we can confirm their numbers, we should try not to attack."

"But we can't keep going like this. How about trying from below?" Mu Cheng looked beneath him and didn't see any Flying Heaven Stream.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor also observed for a long time and said, "No, we're in a dilemma now... we must observe clearly."

"I say, big sister, aren't there only two choices right now? Either we charge out, or we go down," Mu Cheng said, suddenly getting anxious.

Little Demon: "Master, it's indeed hard to make a decision. It doesn't seem like land down there; the risk is still very high."

"This... alright then! You decide." Mu Cheng finally realized.

He had thought the Little Demon Fox Emperor was being foolish, but now he saw that he simply didn't understand the situation.

"You try first," the Little Demon Fox Emperor finally made up her mind.

"Then I'm attacking." Mu Cheng suddenly threw out a dense cluster of lightning attribute Talisman Arrays, instantly disintegrating all the surrounding Flying Heaven Stream.

"Who would have thought this guy was also a Talisman Array master?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was suddenly curious.

Mu Cheng: "They've all been dealt with. What's next?"

"Not good, we've stirred up a swarm of Flying Heaven Stream this time. Quick, enter the Endless Sea!" the Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly shouted in a hurry.

Just as the words left her mouth, an extra-large Flying Heaven Stream appeared—a disc at least thirty kilometers wide gradually appeared in Mu Cheng's eyes.

"This Flying Heaven Stream is probably infinitely close to the Outer God Breaker level. Keep accelerating!" the Little Demon Fox Emperor shouted again.

Fortunately, they escaped without further mishap and successfully landed in the Endless Sea. But before they could react, they were surrounded by clusters of Black Water Silk.

"Is this the Black Water Silk? So it's sea, land, and air?" Mu Cheng was suddenly curious.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't move. These are Black Water Silk; they will attack moving objects." Although the Little Demon Fox Emperor expressed doubt, she still warned him.

Little Demon: "Master, you'd better worry about what's in front of you first! Think about other things later."

"This Black Water Silk shouldn't be that simple, right?" Mu Cheng indeed didn't quite believe it.

They don't attack moving objects, yet so many are crowding around so densely? Are they planning to go to heaven? Or are they just bored with nothing to do?

"I've only heard about it. We can only act according to the situation now." The Little Demon Fox Emperor also didn't dare easily believe that Black Water Silk would only attack moving things.

Soon, the dense Black Water Silk completely surrounded the two of them. Mu Cheng swallowed hard, not daring to make a move at all.

"What should we do? Although I know lightning energy is their bane, what if I accidentally hit you guys too?"

"What do you mean hit us too? I think your brain has fallen into a pit, always saying such nonsensical things," the Little Demon Fox Emperor scolded.

Little Demon: "What does this Endless Sea have to do with you using lightning energy? It's pretty much the same as on land."

Mu Cheng smiled awkwardly. "This... just pretend I didn't say anything."

The Endless Sea itself was a very abnormal place, let alone the knowledge that water conducts electricity; that simply didn't exist here.

"These guys are indeed annoying. It seems we can only take a risk. Quickly release your lightning attribute attacks." Seeing the Black Water Silk constantly closing in, the Little Demon Fox Emperor had no choice but to resort to this.

Mu Cheng was still quite worried and asked again to confirm: "Do I really have to use lightning attribute attacks? What if I hurt you?"

"Why so much nonsense? If I tell you to use it, use it!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was so angry she scolded him again.

Little Demon: "Master, just use it with peace of mind! Her strength is not afraid of this bit of lightning at all."

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate anymore, throwing out a large number of lightning attribute Talisman Arrays in a dense cluster.

He had prepared quite a lot of these things, so he wasn't afraid of the cost and used as many as he wanted.

Soon, the Black Water Silk, like the Flying Heaven Stream, was disintegrated by the lightning attacks.

"The water in this Endless Sea really doesn't conduct electricity." Mu Cheng was now completely baffled, but he had the self-awareness not to ask, keeping the question to himself.

Not long after the two of them broke out, they were again surrounded by Black Water Silk. Mu Cheng similarly released lightning energy to break through the encirclement.

In less than an hour, they had encountered at least twenty encirclements by Black Water Silk. Mu Cheng's mentality finally crumbled as he complained.

"I say, big sister, this Black Water Silk is truly endless. I don't know when it'll stop. Can't you think of something?"

The Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly said seriously, "Not good, it's a million-year-level Black Water Silk. This time we're in big trouble. We must get back into the air as quickly as possible."

"Big sister... you're not joking with me, are you?" Just as Mu Cheng's voice fell, what was in front of them wasn't just any extra-large Black Water Silk.

Instead, they began to fuse together in a dense mass, like small wool balls gathering together, becoming larger and larger.

"These guys are actually quite interesting. I didn't expect they could combine."

Little Demon explained, "The Black Water Silk is like this by nature, but it's not what you'd call a combination; they are thoroughly fusing together."

"It seems they've already treated us as powerful enemies, otherwise they wouldn't fuse together at all."

The Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly condensed her Bloodline Power, and her entire person changed. Visible bloodline veins appeared on her face and arms.

Radiating a terrifying aura, she threw an invisible giant punch toward the Black Water Silk.

"Now is the time!"

The Black Water Silk was struck to the bottom by a powerful surge of energy. Mu Cheng also seized the opportunity, throwing down a dense cluster of lightning attribute Talisman Arrays.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" the Little Demon Fox Emperor shouted again.

Soon, the two of them broke out of the Endless Sea and reached high altitude.

Little Demon: "How about this, Master? Why not try to stay as close to the Endless Sea as possible? Perhaps we can avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Big sister, how about flying close to the surface of the Endless Sea? It might be safer that way," Mu Cheng suggested.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "We can try."

Sure enough, there was no danger at all.

"Whoa!!! It's only been one day and we've already escaped death. If we couldn't fly, how would we even get there?" Mu Cheng asked, letting out a deep sigh of relief.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "By boat, of course. At our current flight speed, it should take less than three days!"

Fortunately, their luck was good. In those three days, they didn't encounter any danger and finally arrived at Heisha Island.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor soon landed on Soul-Severing Island, with Mu Cheng following closely behind.

The moment he stepped in, Mu Cheng felt a cold wind blowing toward him.

Taking a careful look, the ground was barren, very desolate, and there was a very foul smell of rotting corpses.

"This bone-chilling wind and the foul smell... I feel like something has been watching us since we entered." Mu Cheng looked around, feeling that something was very wrong.

Little Demon: "This scent might not be that simple. Better stay alert!"

The further the two went, the darker it became.

Mu Cheng asked fearfully, "What's going on? The night vision system can only see about fifty meters ahead."

"By the way... big sister, this isn't your first time here, is it?"

"Mm-hmm, it's my first time here too, but I can sense the direction to go," the Little Demon Fox Emperor said truthfully.

Mu Cheng was completely speechless, but there was nothing he could do...

The two of them continued forward very cautiously when suddenly a dark shadow attacked from behind.

Fortunately, Mu Cheng blocked it with his black gold heavy sword in an instant, but before he could see what it was, it disappeared.
