I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 822: Chapter 429 The Test Begins_2

The group continued forward, and finally, at a distance of three thousand meters from the Stone Hall.

Unexpectedly, an incident occurred.

From a grave merely half a meter tall, a Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful demon emerged.

To call it a grave was a bit of a stretch; it was more like a small mound of earth, especially compared to the graves of Great Monsters, this one was far too small.

Maybe this grave was once tall, but after countless years, it no longer had its former glory.

If it weren’t for the foreknowledge, Su Nan wouldn’t have noticed the grave at all.

“Roar!”

A low growl resonated as a massive Resentful demon appeared, resembling a giant elephant in size and stature.

If it weren’t seen emerging from that unremarkable little mound, nobody would imagine that such an enormous creature could come from what looked like a clod of earth.

It’s here!

Su Nan’s mind tensed, and he immediately consumed one hundred points of Demon Race Luck to cast a fortune-altering technique.

Having devoured two Demonic Emperors earlier, he had accumulated four hundred points of Qi Luck, and now, after spending a hundred, he had three hundred left.

With Su Nan’s prior warning, Long Yunhan and the others were well prepared and not intimidated; they rather sought to confront the Resentful demon.

Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves. As foreseen, they were no match for the Resentful demon and had to flee in all directions, each employing their techniques, rushing towards the Inheritance Stone Hall of the Heavenly Demon.

The unlucky one among them was none other than He Wushuang of the Chong Ming Crane clan.

“Now is the moment! I hope this grave won’t let me down.”

Su Nan reacted swiftly and took immediate action.

To be truthful, whether the grave contained any Saint-level Blood Essence was still unknown, not to mention the Saint-level essence.

According to the previously foreseen information, after stealing the skeleton, the situation was too urgent for him to check; the current situation was the same. Even if he predicted again, risking being killed, it would be difficult to get results within a short time.

Making a move now was entirely a gamble; he was betting that there were remains of blood essence within the skeleton in the grave.

This time, he didn’t use the Across the Heavens Shift technique; having attained the power to chase stars and moons, he found it more effective.

There being no sun and moon in the Ancestral Land, the duration of techniques could only last ten minutes; but that was more than enough.

With the technique active, his Speed surged instantly and in a flash, he was before the grave.

With a punch, the Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful demon’s grave burst apart, revealing the deeply buried skeletons.

The skeletons were numerous and well-preserved, showing no signs of weathering despite the unknown millennia they had existed.

Su Nan didn’t even bother to look; he instantly cast Universe in the Sleeve and gathered all the skeletons. Then, with unprecedented speed, he dashed towards the Stone Hall.

“Roar!” With its grave destroyed and the skeletons stolen, even the mindless Resentful demon went into a frenzy, abandoning Chong Ming Crane to launch a ferocious attack on Su Nan.

“Brother Lang Wu, such magnanimity!” Seeing Su Nan attract the attack of the Resentful demon, He Wushuang, who was targeted by the demon, was almost moved to tears.

However, the man had no intention of assisting Su Nan and instead quickly rushed towards the Stone Hall.

The Resentful demon went mad, unleashing an unprecedented violent assault. Faced with the full force of a Late-stage Emperor Grade demon, Su Nan had no power to resist.

In the crucial moment, he used Across the Heavens Shift, and his figure vanished to reappear inside the Stone Hall.

[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Enter the Heavenly Demon Inheritance Land,” 60 points of Demon Power have been awarded.]

[Current available demonic power: 680 points]

At the same moment, an overwhelming and undeniable wave of sleepiness struck, and Su Nan fell into a deep sleep.

…

“Wake up!”

After an indeterminate amount of time, a calling voice roused Su Nan from his slumber.

Before his eyes were three children, six or seven years old, two boys and one girl.

“The trial has begun!” Su Nan immediately sat up and checked for any changes in his body.

As expected, all the Strength that had once belonged to him had vanished, leaving only a strange bloodline power. This new strength was extremely weak, comparable only to the Late Mortal Stage.

He then called out for the Personal Information Panel and Personal Space.

To his disappointment, and as he had anticipated, all game-related powers were gone in this place.

“It seems I won’t be able to complete the trial, nor can I quit the game now,” he mused.

Su Nan wasn’t disheartened; he had anticipated such a situation and instead felt an ethereal connection, his eyes lighting up with joy.

“Here, I can still communicate with my avatar through our connected minds, still reach out to my avatar, and my avatar remains unaffected. All game functions are still available on my avatar.”

Su Nan heaved a sigh of relief; the dreamscape was different from the illusion realm of the Ancient God Tomb.

In this place, the flow of time was the same as the outside world; one minute that passed in the dreamscape was also one minute that had passed in the outside world.

Thus, this actually made it more convenient for him to use his avatar to foresee the future.

Looking at the three children again, he began to think about how to stop them.

He quickly came up with an idea.

“Knock them all out and take them away!” Su Nan decided to opt for a more forceful approach.

Despite the Heavenly Demon body he currently inhabited appearing quite frail, only at the Late Mortal Stage, it was already quite good, far stronger than the three children.

Over ten minutes later, Su Nan returned to the tribe with the three children and after settling them down, he immediately sought out the tribal chief.

He wished to persuade the tribe to undertake a huge risk by migrating, which was tremendously difficult. He had to convince the tribal chief first.

This was no easy feat, especially since at the moment he was just an ordinary child, without any relevant information in his foreknowledge.

Fortunately, there was still a way.

“Since everything here is fake, revealing my ability to predict the future is not a big deal.”

Su Nan planned to earn the tribe’s trust using foreknowledge, the same method he had used in the Ancient God Tomb before.

It was an effective approach.

Su Nan simply claimed that he had mysteriously awakened the ability to foresee the future, and told them what would happen a day later.

Initially, the tribal chief was skeptical, but after witnessing his prognostic abilities, chose to believe him.

What followed was much easier.

With the chief advocating for him, it wasn’t long before all the tribespeople were convinced; knowing that a great disaster would strike in a day’s time, everyone began to busy themselves preparing.

It was during this process that the time in the real world reached midnight.

The game refreshed.

In Tianjue Province, the avatar looked at the tasks on the Panel and shook his head.

“There are only these two tasks that I can do today.”

On the panel, Wang Nan’s three tasks appeared—rescue a demon beast, hunt a Demonic Emperor, and lift the curse of the Ancient Desolate Ruins.

However, this wasn’t the reason he shook his head; it was because he was now unable to switch roles!

As such, it was impossible for him to complete today’s tasks for Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen.

The Life Wheel Scripture could only be circulated within the True Body; the avatar switching roles had always been a cooperative effort with the True Body.

Now that all the abilities of the True Body had vanished and the trial was just beginning, it would be tomorrow by the time it ended.

This meant that he couldn’t carry out today’s tasks for Zhang Yang and Lang Thirteen.

“Whatever, with the speed at which I’m acquiring Demon Power now, a delay of a day or two doesn’t make much difference.”

Time passed, and half a day flew by in a blink of an eye.

The avatar found another location where a demon beast was suppressed, completing the task of rescuing a demon beast, and then devoured a Demonic Emperor.

Having completed two tasks, his available Demon Power reached 800 points!

He was only 200 points shy of attempting to practice the first floor of the Four Seasons Wheel Scripture.

At the same time.

In the Heavenly Demon trial Su Nan was undergoing.

The massive convoy migrated through the Great Wilderness, their pace not too fast.

Fortunately, those who could survive in the Great Wilderness were no ordinary people; most adult members of the demon clan were at Spirit Level. Even encumbered by families, their speed was not slow.

Led by the tribal chief, the group had already reached the territory of the second Fierce Beast.

“Be careful, everyone. From now on, we will all be affected by illusion techniques and will see wild beasts attacking us around.”

“Those wild beasts are actually members of our clan; no one is allowed to engage. Just follow the group and continue moving forward.”

The chief informed everyone with the details Su Nan had provided ahead of time, and with this knowledge, there was no panic among the people.

Without any incidents, the group successfully passed through the second Fierce Beast’s territory after two hours.

The rest of the journey went even smoother; although they encountered some Fierce Beasts along the way, none were particularly strong, and all were eventually slain by the chief.

Finally, after a day’s trek, the group arrived at their destination.
