215: Chapter 215 Someone's Arranged?

On the other side, Chu Han was currently in a tug-of-war with the Demon Cloud Vine, neither able to gain the upper hand over the other...

"Is this the fourth Shackle? I've finally sensed it." Mu Cheng was ecstatic and began his assault.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor also noticed the change and asked, "What... what's going on?"

"Sister Jiu... you keep at it. I'll go help Sister." Little Demon replied.

and went to assist Chu Han.

"Don't come over, go back!" Chu Han stopped her firmly.

Right now, the Demon Cloud Vine's target was her. Little Demon coming to help would be completely useless and might even be counterproductive...

She might even get targeted herself.

Little Demon had no choice but to go back...

"It seems she really doesn't need you over there, but we still have to guard against the Demon Cloud Vine." The Little Demon Fox Emperor understood instantly.

Little Demon: "Mhm, mhm. Leave it to Little Demon!"

Over on Mu Cheng's side, he was still continuously assaulting the fourth Shackle, but it was ultimately of no use.

"No, brute force doesn't seem to work on this Shackle. Then let's try using Bloodline Power." Realizing something was off, he immediately released the Black Vine.

Sure enough, it finally had an effect. Although not very fast, it was clearly working.

"There's such a method? It seems the way to break through the Shackles... isn't all about brute force." Mu Cheng was utterly surprised.

As time passed, Mu Cheng's fourth Shackle had already been devoured and cracked halfway through... Breaking through was just a matter of time.

"If I'd known this level was so dangerous, I should have just let him break through on the previous level. Then we wouldn't need all this trouble." The Little Demon Fox Emperor finally couldn't help but complain.

Little Demon didn't think so. "No, no, no, Sister Jiu, that's not right. Think about the past bearers of the Devouring Bloodline."

"That's true, they all broke through in desperate situations." The Little Demon Fox Emperor thought for a moment and said.

But on the other side, Chu Han's aura was clearly starting to weaken gradually... she probably couldn't hold on much longer.

"Sister over there... probably can't hold on much longer. How about you try increasing the output, Sister Jiu?" Little Demon noticed and asked.

"Mhm, mhm, I'll try!"

The Little Demon Fox Emperor had actually been observing carefully for a while and now began to increase the release of Purgatory Fire...

Fortunately, it was all devoured by Mu Cheng, allowing her to sigh in relief.

Although it was devoured, Mu Cheng, who was in the midst of breaking through in his consciousness, was in a sorry state.

His Bloodline Power was completely uncontrollable. Having no other choice, he had to increase its release.

"What on earth is going on? Never mind... I can only go all out."

The next moment, he still underestimated the released Bloodline Power; it wasn't a simple release.

It was like pulling out tendons and bones... The released Bloodline Power felt like it was being ripped out of his body.

It was impossible for it not to hurt...

It seemed Mu Cheng was already accustomed to it. This level of pain... was still bearable.

Unfortunately, an accident still occurred. The Little Demon Fox Emperor outside also noticed Mu Cheng absorbing like a bottomless pit and increased the release of Purgatory Fire again.

"This... is simply deadly, but I absolutely cannot stop." Mu Cheng gritted his teeth and persisted.

Outside, Chu Han finally reached her limit and reverted to her original form...

Little Demon immediately stepped forward, releasing Black Vine defenses. Fortunately, it didn't disturb the Demon Cloud Vine...

"It seems we can hold on for a while longer. Who knows what state that guy is in now." Chu Han could finally catch her breath.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Should be fine, right? Just hold on a little longer..."

"It's a good thing the Demon Cloud Vine hasn't discovered us, or perhaps... it's truly severely injured and just wants to drive us away." Chu Han suddenly grew worried.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor couldn't figure it out either. "Hard to say, but regardless... we'll take it one step at a time!"

"Mhm, mhm. I hope that guy breaks through the fourth Shackle soon. I want to see how powerful this generation's Devouring Bloodline really is." Chu Han ultimately had no choice but to wait patiently.

As time passed, Mu Cheng finally broke through the fourth Shackle and suddenly awoke.

"It seems like there's no change, but I have completed the fourth Breaking and Rebuilding." Mu Cheng himself found it strange.

He had clearly broken through the fourth Shackle, yet he couldn't sense any divine power at all.

"Really strange... But regardless, you should try! Little Demon can't hold on much longer." Chu Han also had no other options.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor also agreed. "Mhm, mhm, I think so too. Having broken through four Shackles, you shouldn't have much of a problem."

"Alright then! I'll give it a try."

Although Mu Cheng wasn't very confident, he still chose to step forward, releasing his Purple Cloud Wings and flying towards the Demon Cloud Vine.

In an instant, the entire world began to tremble, and even Little Demon was suddenly sent flying back...

The next moment, the Demon Cloud Vine's true form appeared—a giant tree, a full hundred meters tall, covered in dense red vines.

"This is the Demon Cloud Vine's true form. It seems to have sensed a threat." Little Demon could at least be sure of that.

Chu Han also had to admit. "As expected of a Devouring Bloodline bearer. But it's strange that he can't sense any divine power."

"Could it be related to his ability to break through? Like me, I needed to at least reach the peak of Realm King God to awaken." The Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly blurted out.

Chu Han also thought it made sense. "Probably. But since he, having broken through four Shackles, can threaten the Demon Cloud Vine, even without divine power, he probably won't be weak."

"This... is indeed hard to explain. The Devouring Bloodline itself can suppress Outer Space Circle creatures, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Little Demon suddenly sounded like a different person.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Senior... you mean it's not his strength, but bloodline suppression?"

"Mhm, mhm, but dealing with it shouldn't be a problem." Little Demon nodded in reply.

Chu Han wasn't sure either. "Let's be ready to intervene at any moment!"

"Is this Demon Cloud Vine really a God of Destruction-level powerhouse? Somehow... it feels a bit weak." Mu Cheng also found it very strange.

Logically, it should have attacked long ago, but the current situation was that the Demon Cloud Vine remained motionless.

"Never mind. If the enemy doesn't move, I'll move first." Mu Cheng didn't care about the details. With his black hole heavy sword in hand, he flew straight at the Demon Cloud Vine.

Without hesitation, he slashed through one of the red vines... The result left him a bit dumbfounded.

The Demon Cloud Vine did not retaliate; it showed no reaction at all.

"What does this thing want?" Mu Cheng was completely baffled.

He had clearly cut one red vine, yet this was the result.

"What's going on? Something's off about the Demon Cloud Vine." Origin, who was possessing Little Demon, also couldn't figure it out.

Chu Han was also stunned. "Goodness... Could this be a trap?"

"Finish it quickly." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't care about the details and shouted loudly.

Mu Cheng cut another one, but the result remained the same... The Demon Cloud Vine did not retaliate.

"Never mind, let's deal with these red vines first." Mu Cheng also stopped caring and went on a frenzied offensive.

In less than five minutes, all the red vines were severed...

"So that's it. The Demon Cloud Vine is already severely injured and is now at the end of its rope." Little Demon finally saw the truth.

Only then did Chu Han react. "You mean... this Demon Cloud Vine was already done for, not at all what we thought."

"Mhm, mhm, exactly." Little Demon also hadn't expected this outcome.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly exclaimed in shock. "Look... what's that on the Demon Cloud Vine?"

"That fruit doesn't seem ordinary. Come take a look." Mu Cheng also noticed and hurriedly called out.

Little Demon arrived in the blink of an eye. "It's Demon Cloud Hearts. At least fifty of them."

"It really is Demon Cloud Hearts. That means... this thing's strength was at the ninth level of God of Destruction." Chu Han was greatly shocked.

Mu Cheng scratched his head and asked, "What's all this about? Can you explain a bit more clearly?"

"Explain what? You hurry up and devour and refine them! This stuff is useless to us." The Little Demon Fox Emperor also arrived and said.

Little Demon: "Mhm, mhm. Hurry up, kid! We have what we need anyway."

"Senior, are you talking about the Demon Cloud Wood?" Chu Han asked.

Little Demon nodded. "Mhm, mhm. This Demon Cloud Wood is hundreds of millions of years old... a rare treasure."

"Hundreds of millions of years... Kid, hurry up!" Hearing this, the Little Demon Fox Emperor instantly became excited.

Her weapon was made of wood, but it was genuinely a million years old. Now, before her eyes, was wood hundreds of millions of years old.

Wasn't this adding wings to a tiger? With it... she wouldn't need to worry about controlling divine power release!

"Alright then!" Mu Cheng no longer hesitated. Releasing the Black Vine, he began devouring the Demon Cloud Hearts.

In less than five minutes, he finished devouring them, and the Demon Cloud Wood's main body was revealed...

It was a massive piece of wood, a good twenty meters tall.

"This... isn't it a bit too big?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was very surprised.

Chu Han was very calm. "Normal. This thing is an Outer Space Circle creature."

"Little Demon finds it strange... Who could have wounded it and let us pick up the pieces?" Little Demon suddenly blurted out.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't care too much. "Anyway, you don't need it... so it's mine."

Without waiting for everyone's agreement, she directly pocketed it.

"Really strange... The devouring speed now is at least ten times faster." Mu Cheng also looked puzzled.

By the time he reacted, the Demon Cloud Wood was already gone. "Sister Jiu... that's a bit too much! How about I help you forge a weapon?"

"Give it to him. If you do it, it'll probably take two or three years to finish." Chu Han spoke up at this point.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor had no choice but to take it out again. With a slash of her void divine power, she split it into two pieces...

"This Demon Cloud Wood... I need it. Leave a piece for me!"

"No need! I can just forge it all for you at once. No need for the trouble." Mu Cheng hurriedly stopped her.

Little Demon: "Mhm, mhm. Sister Jiu... just give it to Master. It's better to forge everything at once."

"This... alright then. Make all kinds of weapons, just make more wooden swords." The Little Demon Fox Emperor had no choice but to give up.

It wasn't hard to guess; it wasn't just for her, but the entire Qingqiu Kingdom needed them.

"Don't worry! I'll just keep a hundred or so." Mu Cheng didn't waste words and immediately released a large-scale Talisman Array.

He began forging... In less than a few minutes, the massive Demon Cloud Wood began to be forged into various weapons at a visible speed.

It took nearly a day, producing well over a hundred thousand...

In the end, Mu Cheng kept about one or two thousand and gave all the rest to the Little Demon Fox Emperor.

"Finally done... Talisman Arrays and such are quite troublesome... You handle that yourself later, Sister Jiu!" Mu Cheng could actually help.

But it was too time-consuming, so he decided against it.

"Mhm, mhm. Help me inscribe an absorption Talisman Array on this one!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor took out a wooden sword.

Just one wasn't difficult for Mu Cheng, but he was very curious and asked,

"Why an absorption Talisman Array?"

Although he asked, he had already started inscribing it...

"For absorption, of course. Hasn't Master seen one before?" Little Demon retorted.

Only then did Mu Cheng understand. "Forget I asked."

Although it was just one sword, it still took ten minutes...

For over a hundred thousand, just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Alright, once that's done, let's move to the next level! Who knows what dangers we'll encounter." Chu Han grew even more curious.

The third level already had the Demon Cloud Vine. According to the logic of increasing danger the deeper you go... the next level would naturally be even more dangerous.

"We'll know when we go down." The Little Demon Fox Emperor took the wooden sword and, without hesitation, headed towards the center.

Upon arrival, the four of them didn't hesitate for a moment... and jumped straight down.

On this level, the four arrived in a forest. The trees were normal, only about ten meters tall.

"This place... is a bit strange. Let's be careful." Chu Han was very cautious.

Nowhere in the entire Battlefield was normal. The sudden appearance of a normal forest, of course, couldn't be taken lightly...

Just then, a hidden hint appeared before Mu Cheng.

[Warning! Warning! Large number of remnant souls detected. Level unknown. Quantity unknown.]

"What on earth is this now?" Mu Cheng was very puzzled.

Just then, the Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly blurted out, "Remnant souls... a large number of remnant souls."

"Really? Then wouldn't that mean divine artifacts can be forged easily?" Chu Han couldn't believe it and asked.

Mu Cheng finally reacted. "The remnant souls needed for sword spirits, essential for forging divine artifacts."

"Mhm, mhm, remnant souls. And a lot of them, at least over a hundred thousand." The Little Demon Fox Emperor was also stunned.

Little Demon: "So many remnant souls... what kind of place is this?"

"Don't know. Anyway, the remnant souls are mine." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't care about that. She released her Evil Spirit Realm domain.

and immediately began collecting them...

"I feel something's off. So many remnant souls... shouldn't be right?" Chu Han felt something was wrong.

Little Demon suddenly said, "Could it be the King of Ten Thousand Souls?"

"Very likely. It seems not every level is dangerous." Chu Han also thought it possible.

As for the King of Ten Thousand Souls, it held no attraction for the Little Demon Fox Emperor. Right now, her eyes were only on the remnant souls.

"This King of Ten Thousand Souls... is it needed for a super divine artifact?" Mu Cheng asked.

Chu Han: "Mhm, mhm. You have such good luck, kid. Remnant souls for the divine artifact, now a King of Ten Thousand Souls... all that's left is the sword of light."

"Could someone have arranged this?" Mu Cheng suddenly said.

Little Demon: "Probably not, right?"

"An arrangement definitely couldn't be from the Dean, but someone probably wants to help you, that's true... But who could it be?" Chu Han also suddenly became interested.

First, the giant silver snake, then the injured Demon Cloud Vine... and now the King of Ten Thousand Souls.

This indeed... wasn't hard to guess that someone had arranged it.
