Chapter 533: Demon God Fallen

Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Demon God Fallen

The Beast Tide couldn’t enter Kyushu, so it ravaged the Kyushu Spirit Realm with even greater ferocity.

Ordinary factions couldn’t withstand the Beast Tide’s assault. In just five short days, the entire Kyushu Spirit Realm had plunged into a state of death.

Everyone was in imminent danger. As the overlords of the Kyushu Spirit Realm, the Four Great Forces should have stepped forward, but at this moment, they were too busy trying to save themselves to meddle in others’ affairs.

The Beast Tide had no emotion, only a single purpose: Slaughter.

The Kyushu Spirit Realm. The Kyushu Forbidden Land—also known as the Beast Tide Forbidden Land.

Heeding Long Fu’s words, Long Ao slowly made his way toward the Beast Tide Forbidden Land. He advanced cautiously, one step at a time, remaining ever-vigilant.

’No matter what, the Beast Tide Forbidden Land is the Beast Tide’s stronghold. Who knows what kind of beings are in there? If my luck runs out and I die here, I’ll have lost everything and gained nothing.’

At that moment, Long Ao was deeply worried about the safety of Kyushu and his Sect. The Beast Tide’s power was simply too immense. If it broke into Kyushu, no one knew what might happen.

’I hope the Beast Tide doesn’t invade Kyushu.’

Long Ao knew perfectly well that as long as the Four Great Forces closed the teleportation channels in time, it would be very difficult for the Beast Tide to enter Kyushu.

Slowly, Long Ao entered a pitch-black forest. Ancient, towering trees blotted out the sky, obscuring even the sunlight.

Inside the Beast Tide Forbidden Land.

Long Ao couldn’t feel any warmth, as if he were in the depths of a frozen wasteland. Even with his Semi-Saint Realm cultivation, he couldn’t help but shiver.

"Who’s there?"

Just then, Long Ao was startled. A chorus of ghostly wails and wolf howls suddenly echoed all around him. Immediately after, strange auras descended, feeling as if they could corrode his very soul.

Not daring to be the least bit careless, Long Ao immediately circulated all the power in his body to resist. But even so, the terrifying howls threw his mind into chaos, and several times, the aura nearly invaded his body.

’The Beast Tide Forbidden Land is truly fraught with danger. I haven’t even reached the deepest part of the Forbidden Land, and I was almost insta-killed. If this keeps up, even if I can make it to the center, I’ll probably have to go through hell and back.’

But Long Ao was a persistent man. No matter what difficulties he encountered, as long as he was still alive, he would press on, regardless of the hardship or danger.

And so, Long Ao forged ahead, continuously resisting the corrosive aura from his surroundings.

The Qi Shield formed from his Heaven and Earth’s Momentum blocked all of the endlessly encroaching aura. Only then did Long Ao finally let out a sigh of relief.

Now that he could defend against it, Long Ao didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately picked up his pace and shot toward the deepest part of the forest.

The deeper he went, the more Long Ao felt the corrosive aura around him growing colder, stranger, and more powerful. The slightest carelessness would result in being overcome by it.

"Master, to the left."

Long Ao had complete faith in Long Fu and immediately shot off to the left.

In the deepest part of the forest was a Chaotic Burial Mound. Bones were everywhere—human bones and Spirit Beast bones. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but skeletons. This was a true field of corpses.

"Long Fu, are you saying the Beast Tide came from here?"

"Master, of course not. But this is a necessary path. Furthermore, during the Ancient Times, a chaotic battle took place here. Martial Artists and Spirit Beasts slaughtered each other in an exceptionally brutal conflict. In the end, the humans dispatched a Demon God, who annihilated all the people and Spirit Beasts, and finally absorbed all the resentment in this place."

Annihilating all humans and Spirit Beasts... Hearing this, Long Ao’s heart sank. One could only imagine how terrifyingly powerful that human Martial Artist must have been.

"Master, this human Martial Artist was named Demon God. In the Ancient Times, he was considered a fiend who killed without batting an eye and was scorned by all under heaven."

"Long Fu, if that’s the case, why did you bring me here?"

Long Ao was very curious. ’Could it be that the Demon God has already Fallen, and Long Fu brought me here to become his successor?’

’Others might not know, but Long Fu couldn’t possibly be unaware that I don’t need any inheritance. If I did, I would have already obtained the Divine Dao Inheritance by now. Why go through all this trouble?’

"Master, back then, the Demon God accidentally obtained a Treasure. This Treasure is incredibly heaven-defying. If you can acquire and refine it, it will be a great help to your Cultivation. Therefore, Master, you must obtain this Treasure."

"I see. Long Fu, I’m a little curious. Since this Treasure is so heaven-defying, why did the Demon God leave it behind?"

"Master, there’s something you don’t know. Back then, as the Demon God was absorbing the resentment here, he was suddenly attacked by a Divine Beast. The Demon God was no match for this Divine Beast, and his life was in grave danger. In that moment of crisis, the Demon God used this Treasure to barely manage to Seal the Divine Beast."

Hearing this, Long Ao’s heart leaped with joy.

"Long Fu, if I can obtain this Treasure, doesn’t that mean I can also get a Sealed Divine Beast?"

"Master, that is precisely my concern. Although a Divine Beast is Sealed within the Treasure, if you are even the slightest bit careless, you could suffer a backlash from it."

Long Fu didn’t continue, but his meaning was already perfectly clear.

Long Ao’s expression also grew solemn. After all, a backlash from a Divine Beast was no small matter. If he were unlucky and it happened, he wouldn’t even have a chance to regret it.

Though he was worried, there was no way Long Ao would choose to give up. He nodded and asked, "Where is this Treasure?"

Then, following Long Fu’s directions, Long Ao took a winding path westward and finally stopped in front of a stone cliff face.

"Long Fu, the Treasure you mentioned... is it inside this cliff face?"

"Master, that’s right. But you must be careful. A Divine Beast of the Celestial Divine Level is Sealed inside the cliff face."

A Celestial Divine Level Divine Beast?

Hearing Long Fu’s words, Long Ao jumped in shock. He of course knew what a Celestial Divine Level Divine Beast represented.

Like Martial Artists, Divine Beasts followed the Five Realms of Divine Dao: the Void God Realm, the Condensing Spirit Realm, the Human God Realm, the Earth God Realm, and the Celestial Divine Realm. One could say that a Celestial Divine was the Peak existence within the Divine Dao.

Long Ao found it hard to imagine that a Celestial Divine Level Divine Beast was actually Sealed inside the cliff face before him. ’If that’s true,’ he thought, ’I have to be extremely careful. Otherwise, if I suffer a backlash from the Divine Beast, the consequences will be unimaginable.’

"Long Fu, what should I do?"

"Master, why don’t you start by performing Refinement on this cliff face? Once you have completely refined it, I believe you will be able to control this Divine Beast and obtain the Treasure."

To control a Divine Beast... it would be a lie to say he wasn’t excited. After all, the Divine Beast Sealed in the cliff face was a Celestial Divine Level being. ’If I can control it, won’t I be unstoppable?’

Not daring to be the least bit careless, Long Ao released his aura and slowly approached the cliff face. Just as Long Fu had said, the first step was to perform Refinement.
