216: Chapter 216 The Demon Emperor

"Whatever, with this kind of ability... the other party probably has a significant background. Let's find them first!" Mu Cheng didn't care much anymore.

Chu Han also agreed. "Let Xiao Jiu collect them by herself! Let's head toward the center."

Taking action immediately, the three of them advanced toward the center.

"It really is the King of Ten Thousand Souls." Chu Han recognized it at a glance.

In front of them was a crystal ball about the size of a basketball. It looked very ordinary, with nothing special about it.

It was floating directly above the entrance to the next level... occasionally emitting a faint glow.

"No, things shouldn't be this simple." Xiao Yao felt more and more that something was wrong the more she thought about it.

Mu Cheng: "What's wrong? Could there be some kind of danger?"

"It looks like... there really is no danger on this level." Chu Han couldn't quite figure it out either.

"Fine! Let's wait and see then." Mu Cheng was quite helpless and had to find a random excuse.

Anyway, since the Little Demon Fox Emperor was busy, waiting a bit wouldn't hurt.

As time passed minute by minute, the King of Ten Thousand Souls before them remained motionless.

"It seems that with the hidden hint, there are no surprises at all." Mu Cheng finally felt confident.

Xiao Yao felt more and more uneasy. "It's strange... why can something as precious as the King of Ten Thousand Souls be obtained so easily?"

"It is indeed strange... besides, this is the Demon Abyss. I keep feeling like we've come to the wrong place." Chu Han felt the same way.

Because everything was going too smoothly, they couldn't help but suspect whether it was a deliberate arrangement or if there was another reason.

"Who cares? Good things are being delivered to our door; it would be a waste not to take them." Mu Cheng was clearly used to this kind of operation.

So to him, it was already a common occurrence...

"Forget it, forget it. After Xiao Jiu collects enough remnant souls... we'll take the King of Ten Thousand Souls!" Chu Han stopped thinking about it.

Regardless of the reason, the item was real. That alone was enough to prove that the person behind this was a friend, not a foe.

After a full six hours, almost all the remnant souls had been gathered by the Little Demon Fox Emperor.

"It's the King of Ten Thousand Souls... what are you guys doing?" Seeing the three of them like this, the Little Demon Fox Emperor asked with a confused look.

Chu Han: "It's nothing, we just felt it was going too smoothly... anyway, regardless of the reason, it's true that we've gained a lot."

"Leave it to me!" Xiao Yao released Black Vines and pulled the King of Ten Thousand Souls over.

Indeed, there were no surprises, and it was finally taken by Mu Cheng.

"It really is a bit too smooth. This level already has something as precious as the King of Ten Thousand Souls, so wouldn't the next level be even more incredible?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor said after thinking for a while.

Chu Han: "It's about time. Let's go down and see... then we'll know exactly what it is."

"Mm-hmm, let's go down!" Mu Cheng leaped down.

The other three followed closely... This fifth level was still a secret realm, and ahead was a small city filled with high technology.

There was no one in this small city; it was so quiet that it was a bit terrifying.

Just as Mu Cheng was feeling absent-minded, a hidden hint suddenly popped up.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! high-tech encyclopedia inheritance discovered ahead.]

???

This made Mu Cheng secretly shocked. "high-tech encyclopedia inheritance? Sounds like a pretty good thing."

"Strange, it's way too quiet." The Little Demon Fox Emperor felt more and more uneasy as they walked.

Xiao Yao: "I can't sense any life aura... whatever, let's just get to the center first!"

"Whatever you say."

Chu Han was cautious in front, and soon the four of them arrived at the center. Further up was the entrance to the next level.

However, the area around the entrance was a Talisman Array, with more than a dozen giant stone pillars surrounding it...

And every single pillar was covered in dense runes.

"It's an inheritance... I never thought an inheritance would appear here." Chu Han was instantly shocked.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor began to study it seriously. "It's an inheritance related to high technology. Let's all try and see if we can get it!"

"Mm-hmm, let's all try. If it doesn't work, we'll move on to the next level." Chu Han went over and touched a stone pillar with her hand.

There was no reaction, which meant she couldn't obtain the inheritance.

Next were Xiao Yao and the Little Demon Fox Emperor; they also had no reaction at all.

Until it was Mu Cheng's turn. All the stone pillars lit up, and the dense runes... turned into energy and flooded into his body.

"Wow, this inheritance seems extraordinary. Looks like Master has hit the jackpot." Xiao Yao returned with great envy.

Chu Han: "Indeed, the fourth level was already so precious; this fifth level's inheritance is definitely not bad."

"An inheritance in high technology... what on earth does the person who arranged this want to do?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly became worried.

Chu Han: "Whatever the purpose... it only brings us benefits anyway."

It was clearly someone's deliberate arrangement, but no matter what... the result was good.

Soon, Mu Cheng finished receiving the entire inheritance.

"Incredible. The high-tech bracelet can even be upgraded, and energy crystals can be used like this." Mu Cheng was stunned.

If conditions allowed, he probably would have started researching the robot technology and mecha he had acquired earlier.

"Since we got the inheritance, let's keep going!" Chu Han didn't ask much and just leaped straight down.

Mu Cheng and the other two followed closely. The sixth level was no longer a secret realm... but the real Demon Abyss.

It was exactly the same as before, with floating scattered rocks below...

"What's going on? Are we back? Or have we been in the same place all along?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was dumbfounded.

Chu Han also felt very helpless. "This... is hard to say. Anyway, just keep going down."

"Mm-hmm, then what are we waiting for? Let's go down first!" Mu Cheng leaped onto a scattered rock and began jumping down.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor and the others followed... in less than half an hour, they saw the defenses set up by the demon race.

Just a small defense. In front of Mu Cheng, whose strength had skyrocketed, it was as simple as slicing vegetables.

In a short while, they were all taken out...

"This demon race... is too weak!" Mu Cheng felt it was quite boring; they were gone with just a touch.

Chu Han: "It's not that they are weak, but you seem quite strange... logically, demon race soldiers aren't that easy to deal with."

"Whatever, let's go down first!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't care about anything else and leaped down onto the rocks again.

Layer after layer... they were almost all the same.

"No, could it be a Mystic Talisman Array?" Chu Han was very puzzled.

The Little Demon Fox Emperor threw out a black gold blade and leaped down again. "Whether it's a Mystic Talisman Array, we'll know if we go down one more time."

The three of them didn't dwell on it and followed... It turned out it wasn't a Mystic Talisman Array; it was indeed a line of defense.

"It's not a Mystic Talisman Array... then let's keep going down!" Chu Han couldn't see anything unusual either.

They continued jumping down...

After a full three days, Mu Cheng finally couldn't take it anymore.

"This... is too strange!" Just as he finished speaking, a hidden hint suddenly appeared before him.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! A large number of demon race soldiers discovered below. Quantity unknown, level unknown.]

[Warning! Warning! Warning! sword of light discovered below.]

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Demon King discovered below. Level unknown.]

...[Warning! Warning! Warning! Danger discovered. Level unknown.]

The other hints were one thing, but the last one made Mu Cheng... a bit unable to figure it out.

"Let's continue! What else can we do?" Chu Han was also helpless, but since they had no other choice, she leaped down.

Mu Cheng followed without a word... Xiao Yao and the Little Demon Fox Emperor also had to follow obediently.

Sure enough, having a hidden hint made a difference. By the time they reached the next defense line, they were already at the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

Further down was bubbling lava, and there was only one path ahead leading to a black palace.

The path was above the lava...

"That's strange, didn't the hidden hint say there were demon soldiers?" Mu Cheng was instantly confused.

Xiao Yao: "Is this the bottom of the Demon Abyss? The sword of light should be in the demon palace, right?"

"We'll know if we go take a look." Chu Han remained the same, leading the way in front like a big sister.

In less than ten minutes, the four of them entered the demon palace... inside, besides a giant Talisman Array,

There was also the so-called sword of light, tightly bound by more than a dozen iron chains, as if it were sealing something.

"Come out! Why hide?" Xiao Yao suddenly became very serious.

After a while, a dark shadow appeared.

"As expected of Origin, to be discovered even by you."

"Same to you. Hand over the rubiks cube key! We might not necessarily be enemies in the future." Xiao Yao was clearly no longer herself, but the possessed Origin.

"Take the rubiks cube key! Anyway, this thing is useless to me. As for this seal, I can't wait for you to break it." The dark shadow just waved its hand.

The rubiks cube key appeared in front of Mu Cheng...

Chu Han: "So it's Senior Origin... are you planning to go directly for the sword of light now?"

"It won't be that easy. The sword of light has a guardian." The Xiao Yao possessed by Origin, of course, knew this very well.

"I assume you two should know the way... how about we cooperate?" Mu Cheng said as he took the rubiks cube key.

Dark Shadow: "Cooperation is no problem, but... only after the seal is broken."

"I'll go try! Let's see who is guarding the sword of light." Just as the Little Demon Fox Emperor approached, an old man suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Little child, this is not a place you should come. Leave here quickly."

"It's you. Should I call you Ancestor or the Great Demon God—the Different Demon Emperor?" Chu Han recognized him at a glance.

"I have a small question... is there more than one Demon Abyss?" Mu Cheng suddenly asked.

Of course, he and Mo Yanyan were indeed at one Demon Abyss, but now another different one had appeared.

It indeed made him a bit unable to figure it out.

"It is indeed strange, Master... but Xiao Yao remembers that place was indeed also the Demon Abyss." Xiao Yao also remembered.

Different Demon Emperor: "You could say it is, but you could also say it isn't... as for what you call me, it doesn't matter."

"What matters is that today, you all must die!"

"Don't forget, this is the Battlefield. Do you think you have any chance of winning here?" The dark shadow laughed loudly.

Chu Han didn't waste words. "Then Ancestor, I can only apologize to you."

"If you want to fight, then let's fight! When has my Different Demon Tribe ever been afraid? If you want to break the seal of the Battlefield, you'll have to step over my body." The Different Demon Emperor suddenly emitted a terrifying aura.

Even the original old man turned into something neither human nor ghost, which was indeed a bit frightening.

"The breaking of the seal is only a matter of time. Since Ancestor is so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chu Han stepped forward, turning into a golden person, and struck with a heavy punch...

Unfortunately, it was easily blocked by the Different Demon Emperor. "It seems the Chu family has declined over the years; the bloodline purity is less than ten percent."

"This old thing is not easy to deal with. Let's all attack together." Chu Han wouldn't be so foolish as to fight one-on-one.

Why fight solo when you can gang up?

"Mm-hmm, let's all go together!" The Little Demon Fox Emperor took out her wooden sword and fully opened her Evil Spirit Realm Domain.

Mu Cheng took out his black hole heavy sword, and Xiao Yao released dense Black Vines...

"black hole heavy sword? No... so that's how it is." Only then did the dark shadow finally understand.

"Then let me give you a hand!" Turning into black mist, he rushed directly toward the Different Demon Emperor.

"Dammit, you guys have no honor!" The Different Demon Emperor was extremely indignant.

All of them were restricted to the same realm, but being besieged by five people... it was indeed hard to withstand.

"Ancestor, oh Ancestor, this is no longer the era of solo fighting. It seems you've really grown old." Chu Han's punches landed solidly on the Different Demon Emperor's body.

"You're right, it's no longer the era of solo fighting... today I'll have a good time playing with you all." The Different Demon Emperor naturally had a trump card.

In just an instant, four identical shadows appeared. Except for Mu Cheng, everyone else was entangled.

"You old thing, you're really going all out." The dark shadow certainly knew the Origin of these shadows.

Different Demon Emperor: "Same to you. You're all trying to drive me to a dead end, so do you expect me to hold anything back?"

After a while, the shadows turned into exact copies of the others, and their abilities were also identical.

Chu Han's golden person form was also perfectly replicated by the shadow... soon both sides were locked in a fierce battle.

Their strengths were equal, and it was unlikely a winner would be decided in a short time...

"Hey! Old thing, did you forget about me?" Mu Cheng suddenly shouted loudly.

The Different Demon Emperor instantly questioned his life. "How is this possible... how is this possible? Why can't I replicate your shadow?"

"Kid, don't just stand there. This old thing's strength should be greatly reduced, hurry up and kill him!" Chu Han suddenly shouted.

Mu Cheng also sensed it; the aura on the Different Demon Emperor was indeed much, much weaker.

"Nothing is impossible. It's probably because I'm too handsome, so it couldn't be replicated!" He didn't forget to brag a bit before fighting.

The Different Demon Emperor finally reacted. "So it's a possessor of the Devouring Bloodline, wait... Ninth Order Peak, how is it possible to break through the Ninth Order?"

"You guessed right. I'm not just at the Ninth Order Peak, I'm also in the Four Shackles Realm." Mu Cheng held his black hole heavy sword.

He smashed it fiercely toward the Different Demon Emperor...

"Ridiculous. So what if my strength is greatly reduced? With just your Four Shackles Realm, who gave you the courage?" The Different Demon Emperor easily blocked the attack.

Mu Cheng suddenly pulled back. "Haven't you heard a saying? Before a fight, you have to test the strength first."

After saying that, he released his battle qi, and instantly his aura was almost the same as the Different Demon Emperor's.

"Good kid, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, an ant is still an ant after all."

His cool moment didn't last three seconds. The Different Demon Emperor didn't take Mu Cheng seriously at all and ended up suffering for it.

He was struck by Mu Cheng's black hole heavy sword and fell heavily to the ground.
