"Beast! Seeking death!"
Screams and curses echoed in the night sky, bursts of flames appeared, illuminating the darkness and revealing the attackers.
Pangolins, moles, weasels... various Demon Beasts adept at burrowing or possessing earth escape abilities bared their teeth, battled briefly with the awakened crowd, then retreated into the darkness, awaiting a new attack.
The Sixth Prince’s expression was grim, looking at several fallen subordinates, he said with an unpleasant expression: "You dare to act before the Array is even opened?"
This was unexpected for him; the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable’s cave mansion appeared very sturdy, not something that could be easily breached by one side. He initially thought both sides would first break open the Array and then rely on their skills to obtain the treasures inside.
As a result, he misjudged the Demon Race’s patience and greed; they were eager to strike first, causing a minor loss on his side.
In the darkness, You Huang, whose eyes emitted a yellow glow, coldly responded: "We’re here to open the things here, there’s no need for you to remain."
"You Huang is right, you don’t have the qualifications to stay here."
Another deep voice came from afar, like rolling thunder, and then a massive dark figure with a ring of dark clouds appeared in the forest.
The leaves shook, a fierce wind picked up nearby, and the already dim light grew darker, causing everyone to feel as if they were shrouded by a layer of dark clouds, filling them with pressure.
The ground trembled, and the shadow approached the group with an overwhelming presence.
This shadow was seven to eight stories tall, with eyes as red as fire, exuding demonic energy that rolled like dark clouds. It was a Demon Emperor that hadn’t taken a human form, still cultivating using its beast body.
This made its physical strength terrifying, and humans of the same level were generally no match.
Having avoided the ambush, Shen Wang saw this creature and cursed to himself about the peril of this cave mansion.
Not even open, and another Demon Emperor had arrived. If any ultimate treasure truly emerged, wouldn’t it lead to a bloody conflict?
"Black Bear Emperor, why have you come to join in the fun? Aren’t you afraid of being killed and having your paws eaten?"
The old man in yellow robe said gloomily.
"You? I might just eat you instead."
The Black Bear Emperor sneered, not paying the old man in yellow robe any mind, causing the latter’s face to darken.
"Huangfu Jin, you’re just an ordinary Royal Court Tributor, still no match for us. Be sensible and leave quickly, before losing your life here."
You Huang spoke, her voice sweet yet cold.
Huangfu Jin frowned. For him, facing just the Black Bear Emperor alone, he wasn’t confident he could handle it, let alone with the addition of the speedy You Huang, which made it indeed difficult for him.
What they said made sense; if a fight truly broke out, if he didn’t leave, he could potentially lose his life.
The Sixth Prince, however, sneered, showing no signs of retreat.
A faint sound of slicing through the air was heard on their side as a figure appeared, saying: "What if you add this old man?"
A white-haired cultivator in white robes appeared, casting an expressionless glance at the two Demon Emperors opposite him.
"Seems you’re steadfast in making a move on our Demon Race territory. Let’s hope you don’t regret it later."
You Huang glanced at the white-haired cultivator, a trace of dread in her eyes.
"Seems like someone from Jade Silkworm Valley, feels stronger than Huangfu Jin behind the Sixth Prince."
Shen Wang took a glance, feeling a bit less worried.
Sun Yuanjue said joyfully.
"Greetings, Senior Yu."
The Sixth Prince squinted, looking at the newly arrived people on their side, with a somewhat thoughtful expression, then walked over to pay his respects.
"Song Huirui, you brat, came to form an alliance with Jade Silkworm Valley; you must have known in advance that the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable’s cave mansion is nearby, right?"
The white-robed cultivator flashed in front of him, his revealed face looked very young with a ruddy complexion, but from his eyes, it was obvious he was an old monster.
He had a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, staring intently at the Sixth Prince, Song Huirui, with an invisible spiritual pressure that made the air around them heavy, leading some people to struggle to breathe.
Huangfu Jin took a step forward, the invisible pressure instantly dissipating: "Yuqing, even if we knew some information, we didn’t take advantage over you, this alliance benefits you greatly."
"Hmph." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Yuqing said nothing more, instead gripping his hand towards the not-so-distant Array Barrier, from which a jade-colored giant hand emerged and grasped onto the barrier, causing a rumbling sound.
The Spirit Array rippled with a wave, releasing firelight that burned the jade-colored hand, soon restoring its calm.
Yuqing looked at the array’s demonstrated power, his tone mocking: "This is Earth Core Magma, a Spirit Tier Array, even if you ignite the volcano, with just us four Nascent Soul Level beings, we’re insufficient. Do you expect to monopolize it? Can you open it?"
His words stirred some low murmurs among the crowd.
"A Spirit Array? Looks like my previous speculation was correct; the Divinity Transformation Power’s cave mansion array wouldn’t be weak."
"Trouble indeed, even the ancestor from Jade Silkworm Valley mentioned that four Nascent Soul Level can’t break it open; seems challenging to enter."
"These demons dare to attack us. If they drive us away, can they even open the array?"
Someone from Shen Wang’s side whispered, but You Huang opposite didn’t care: "At worst, we’ll take more time to dig out this volcano,"
You Huang slowly turned her head, revealing an enchanting face, her beast-like gaze coldly falling on some people, her lips curled into a chilling smile.
Immediately, the murmurs ceased, the scene quieted down, with just the volcano and Magic lights fluctuating.
Yuqing’s face showed even more mockery: "You Huang, since you’ve chosen the path of transformation, you should learn more about human arrays. The Spirit Array here and the Earth Core Magma form a whole; are you planning to dig up all the underground magma?"
