Chapter 1365: Departure, Hell
Ten Days Emperor’s good friend, back then he didn’t have the strength of Ten Days Emperor but still could be mentioned. Now that it淪落到 this position!Shen Xiang guessed it was probably another even hig...Chapter 1365: Departure for Hell
Scion waited patiently in the Mystic Beast Palace, waiting for news from the Temple of Suppressing Demons. However, more than ten days passed and there was no movement from the Temple of Suppressing Demons.
"There are people waiting outside the main gate of the Temple of Suppressing Demons. Once there is a large-scale movement, news can spread quickly," Scion observed. He thought that the Temple of Suppressing Demons should have acted by now.
Scion went out to gather information in the streets. By evening, Dragon Xueyi said with suspicion, "I sensed a faint spatial force emanating from inside the facade."
"Not good, there might be teleportation arrays inside. They could have dispersed in batches and we don't know where they would land," Scion realized.
"We should check the Immortal Palace near the Demon Abyss. Let's go there first," Su Meiyao said.
Many people were waiting anxiously here. Before Scion teleported away, he spread the word that the Temple of Suppressing Demons had already used the large god hall's teleportation array to travel to an Immortal Palace near the Demon Abyss.
The Demon Abyss had existed for a long time, and the Temple of Suppressing Demons was very familiar with it. It was said that when they went on training, they often lured out demons at the Demon Abyss for hunting. Hence, over the years, the Temple of Suppressing Demons had built a cautious Immortal Palace near the Demon Abyss.
This Immortal Palace was also called the Mystic Beast Palace, but it was much smaller. It was surrounded by walls, and Dragon Xueyi and Scion hovered above the sky to see inside.
"There are quite a few people here! They wear different clothes and are divided into several groups standing in the square inside," Scion saw.
"The Palace of Fire and the Temple of Suppressing Demons have many people. The Thousand-Eden Immortal Country leads, followed by the royal dragons of the Dragon Clan. It seems they are truly entering the Demon Abyss," Dragon Xueyi said.
"So many people, are they going to die Those with high strength are not included. But there are quite a few who aren't Immortals, and they dare to venture into the Demon Abyss," Scion said.
"It's dangerous even before entering the Demon Abyss, and it's not safe outside it either. Sending numerous weak immortals to clear the way can save much power, and their powerful ones might start fighting at the perimeter, alerting the hidden powerful beasts," Su Meiyao knew this very well as she clearly had been to that place.
"Don't know if the powerful divine beasts will come as well," Scion planned to follow these power factions and wait until they were safe inside, mapping the terrain before moving alone.
He thought the Temple of Suppressing Demons would quietly depart, but they paraded through a gate with great fanfare and headed towards the Demon Abyss.
The number was considerable, totaling more than ten thousand. The Palace of Fire and the Temple of Suppressing Demons had the most, followed by the Thousand-Eden Immortal Country. The Dragon Clan had the least in number but was strong as a whole.
"Have the Ten Immortal Kingdoms and Ten Sacred Realm Immortal Countries not arrived" Scion heard of their intentions to join.
"They should have come, possibly in other Immortal Palaces. These fellows wouldn't miss out; they might have clues to the ancient divine beast realms, and their ancestors once followed Ten Heavenly Emperor, knowing many secrets about these sacred ancient divine beast domains," Dragon Xueyi said.
Many people followed behind the large groups, and Scion was one of them. He didn't see Dragon Emperor or the power factions led by Hap Pengqing, but there were still several Immortal Kings.
After leaving the Immortal Palace, everyone could see a vast mountain range in the distance. It was covered by faint white fog that was close to the palace, possibly only a day or two away.
The continuous mountain range could be seen from afar, indicating its vastness. In the map previously, it was known that the mountains and rivers in this ancient divine beast realm were very huge.
"Once you enter the fog zone, it's a dangerous area. Although we're not technically entering the ancient divine beast realm there," White Pale said, "If you're an Immortal Lord, it's still safe to wander outside. As long as I don't encounter the Demon King."
"The Demon King rarely leaves outside, usually hiding inside. Only foolish young demons will run out, and they are the ones targeted by the Temple of Suppressing Demons," Su Meiyao explained.
"How strong are young demons" Scion asked.
"They have the strength of a mortal Immortal in late-stage development. A Demon Lord is equivalent to an Immortal Lord," White Pale answered.
Walking for two days, they were getting closer to the Demon Abyss. They could see a faint mist preceding them, and much of the lower part of mountains were covered by fog. Only the higher parts were visible. The mist wouldn't disperse.
Scion only realized that the fog was actually dense qi, after getting closer.
"Fog that can turn into qi Could there be a dragon vein inside!" Scion recalled his experience with the dragon veins, knowing how they form.
White Pale noticed the dense fog surrounding the vast ancient divine beast realm, indicating that powerful forces were constantly gathering the qi. There might be a dragon vein somewhere underground.
"It wasn't divine qi before, just ordinary fog. I didn't expect it to turn into divine qi now. Maybe there's really a dragon vein inside, which is why those great forces teamed up to enter," Su Meiyao was surprised.
"I wonder how long this state has lasted. If there's a dragon vein, then it's truly dangerous inside. Dragon veins protect themselves by forming natural barriers. Evil Demon Grave is hard to break, let alone the dragon vein formed from divine crystal!" Scion's expression grew serious.
"If it has been around for a long time, there might be many divine fruits and medicines inside," Dragon Xueyi said. "This environment is conducive to cultivating divine-grade medicinal materials."
The sky grew dark, and the large group suddenly stopped. Night was when demons appeared, so entering the fog zone might easily encounter them. Everyone was resting in the forest outside as they would pass through it and head into the mountain range, needing to cross mountains and forests. Once inside the forest, they would be at the perimeter of the Demon Abyss, which was considered a dangerous area.
"Do those demons have intelligence" Scion sat against a tree, watching the disciples of the Temple of Suppressing Demons.
"Those with intelligence are Demon Lords or Demon Kings, most of the young demons are rather foolish. Unless they see living things, they'll try to attack them frantically. If a living creature is killed, it will be eaten by demons," Su Meiyao explained.
The sky darkened, and many people in the forest started fires.
Not long after, they heard a series of low cries that sounded somewhat like the cries of cats at midnight. They were reminiscent of infant wails, and when the calls started coming out simultaneously from thousands upon thousands of cats, it was eerie.
"These are young demons crying. They've come out for training," White Pale said.
A multitude of young demons were emitting piercing cries. The number increased, indicating that the quantity of young demons was growing.
Incorporating young demons with the strength of late-stage mortal Immortals, there were so many now. Scion understood why the great forces sent tens of thousands of people.
Then, Scion sensed several powerful auras approaching. They were Dragon Emperor and Hap Pengqing, as well as Fen Zhuo who followed them. They rushed through the forest.
This was familiar to Scion, but the next aura shocked Dragon Xueyi and him.
"This aura sounds so familiar, yet so unfamiliar…" Scion said.
Dragon Emperor and his faction were coming to reunite with the large group, but there was another powerful group here.
"It's the Divine Bird Clan, the true king of birds arrived. By this aura, it should be a Phoenix!" Dragon Xueyi said.
"Phoenix! Isn't it already extinct" Scion was surprised.
He said this and saw a young man with pale features slowly approaching. He wore white robes, giving off an aloof impression, but there was a blazing aura emitting from him.
He appeared out of nowhere, then slowly walked towards Dragon Emperor.
As soon as he appeared, a hawk's cry echoed through the forest. Gold flashed in his surroundings, revealing a middle-aged man who was actually Golden Eagle King, following behind the white-robed young man.
"Is this Phoenix Why does it look like a male!" Scion said, indeed giving off the impression of great strength.
"Phoenix also has both males and females. Male is Feng, female is Huang. Though, it's commonly referred to as Phoenix now; wonder if it tastes good…" Dragon Xueyi licked her lips. "He should have young phoenixes as sons and daughters, hehe."
Scion wasn't interested in what would happen between Phoenix and Dragon Emperor. He now only concerned himself with the Demon Abyss.
If they were staying at any Immortal Palace nearby, they wouldn't be frightened by the horrific cries coming from the Demon Abyss. They would likely feel annoyed even if they weren't afraid.
Scion saw several people deciding to return at dawn.
The next arrivals were the Ten Immortal Kingdoms and Sacred Realm Immortal Countries, all consisting of kingdom-level figures. What could possibly have them move in such large numbers
Aside from the forces following for fun and hoping to get a good deal, there were more than ten thousand people in total. The forces themselves had over half a million members, and Scion felt that the number of people who could return was quite satisfactory.
Daybreak came, and Scion had only rested briefly throughout the night. The forest was now bustling as those great forces, having more than a hundred thousand people, had set out.arents so what right do you have to interfere in my affairs," said Feng Wu coldly.Feng Wu was about to close the door, but she was stopped by that adult."I’m Feng Nan Yi, your senior.
