I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World

Chapter 833: Chapter 435: Return to Dayu

“This illusory inheritance of the Heavenly Demon has harmed countless geniuses of our demon race. Such a thing that shouldn’t exist might as well be discarded.”

Xing Yi left with resentment and helplessness.

This journey risked his life, and he had only barely passed the second trial of the Heavenly Demon, finally acquiring a drop of Emperor-level Ancient Demon Essence Blood, only to have it snatched away by Su Nan.

However, compared to Long Yunhan and Long Yuanmu, and the other four who had failed to come out of the trial, his result could still be considered good.

The stone room once again contained only Su Nan.

He did not leave with Xing Yi. With a few foreknowledge opportunities left for today, he intended to try again. If it really didn’t work out, then he would have to give up as well.

Of course, before that, he still had to integrate the three potions of fine blood.

The three potions of fine blood were taken out, two of which were obtained from the Great Tomb in the Ancestral Land. And to be buried in this Ancestral Land, clearly none were ordinary demon beasts; all belonged to the top hundred clans of Ancient Times.

However, for Su Nan, who had integrated the bloodlines of the top three Ancient Fiends from Ancient Times—Golden Dragon Demon, Fire Phoenix Demon, and Black Scale Demon—this was not much of a challenge.

As per usual, to be on the safe side, he decided to use his foreknowledge ability first.

The foreknowledge began, and information started flashing on the panel. This time, using up two foreknowledge opportunities, he obtained the information he wanted.

The integration of Ancient Demon Bloodlines required each to be stronger than the last. The Ancient Demon Bloodlines he had integrated before were quite common, while the three bloodlines at present all belonged to the Hundred Clans, which were just right.

The integration of the three bloodlines went smoothly, with no surprises.

Regrettably, at the end of the foreknowledge, he still died in the third trial.

“It seems that I won’t be able to attain the Heavenly Demon’s inheritance for some time,” Su Nan shook his head and gave up.

An hour later.

The three bloodlines were successfully integrated into his body, and the racial talents of the three roles were enhanced again.

The power of the Demonic Emperor’s bloodline, previously consumed, was quickly supplemented by the three new bloodlines.

“With my current strength, I wonder if I can take on those at the late-stage Emperor Grade?” Feeling the powerful force inside him, Su Nan was overwhelmed with excitement.

Although there was a huge gap between each realm at the Emperor level, his enhancement each time was also not insignificant.

All three of his roles were now at the late King Rank, and crossing a major realm to confront those at the late-stage Emperor Grade should theoretically not be a problem.

“Each of the three roles is only short of one last bloodline, which is crucial to the success rate of breaking through to the Emperor level. I cannot be careless; I need to find a strong bloodline.”

The downside of having integrated only Ancient Demon Bloodlines became apparent.

Of the four bloodlines, one must dominate the other three.

At the Xuan level, he integrated the bloodlines of the Golden Dragon Demon, Fire Phoenix Demon, and Black Scale Demon, and after advancing to King Level, the three bloodlines remained potent.

However, these were bloodlines elevated through acquired means after all, equivalent to ordinary King Level Bloodlines. It was impossible for him to continue to rely on these three bloodlines to break through to the Emperor level.

“Baize is associated with water. If that little Dragon Turtle acquired an inheritance containing the Baize’s breathing technique, it would certainly suffice as a bloodline for the law-controlling class.”

“Finding the remaining two bloodlines might be challenging. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demon’s essence blood is at the Emperor level, and I can’t use it now,” he said with regret.

Looking at the stone door leading to the third trial, Su Nan used up his last few foreknowledge opportunities.

He was let down again; the foreknowledge revealed no progress. His power of time was still easily stripped away, and he died inexplicably in the end.

“Could this be the talent of that innate Demon God who also mastered the power of time?”

Even the once mighty Heavenly Demon had half of its power of time taken away, indicating the formidable strength of that innate demon.

He was not a Heavenly Demon and couldn’t perfectly harness the power of the Heavenly Demon. He didn’t even know what techniques the Heavenly Demon possessed and could only crudely utilize the power within the Heavenly Demon’s body.

In essence, he couldn’t even utilize half the strength of the Heavenly Demon, especially in the Demon Abyss, the demon beast’s home ground.

Under such circumstances, it would be tough to escape the Demon Abyss like the former Heavenly Demon did by sacrificing half of the power of time, let alone do better than the Heavenly Demon.

“Considering how difficult this test is, and with failure resulting in death, did the Heavenly Demon truly leave this behind?”

Su Nan doubted again.

The trial was too challenging, perhaps even overdone; it seemed less like something prepared by a demon race ancestor for descendants to gain inheritance and more like something set up to ambush the descendants.

Shaking his head, Su Nan ultimately had to give up, planning to try again in the future when the chance arose.

“Based on the rewards of the first two trials, the reward for the third should be Saint-level Ancient Demon Essence Blood. Currently unable to pass the third trial, I wonder if I can still obtain Saint-level Blood Essence.”

Looking at the task of stealing Heavenly Demon essence blood on the panel, he utilized the Universe in the Sleeve, and a gigantic skeleton appeared in front of him.

The skeleton was like a small hill, occupying most of the stone room. The vast bones were larger than Su Nan himself.

These bones had not deteriorated from the ravages of time but were instead remarkably well-preserved, each one shimmering like jade, altogether unlike the other decrepit bones he had previously unearthed.

“Given how well this skeleton is preserved, I refuse to believe it lacks any residual essence blood,” Su Nan stated upon seeing the state of the skeleton, a look of joy in his eyes.

This skeleton was buried closest to the Heavenly Demon Inheritance Stone Hall and was among the first batch to be laid to rest in the Ancestral Land.

Tens of thousands of years had passed, and the latest buried skeletons had decayed, while this one had not, which spoke volumes about its extraordinary nature.
