Chapter 818: Crimson Devil City
Huang Xiaolong surveyed his surroundings. Only wisps of black energy floated around like a blanket of black fog, emitting an intense nefarious aura. Those wisps of black energy were the devil qi that shrouded the entire Devil Domain Mainland.
This devil qi was the kind of energy that devil cultivators were most fond of, a great supplement in advancing their cultivation. However, to other cultivators, this devil qi was a dangerous element. Once they were tainted by it, it was hard to expel, and prolonged exposure would cause them to be bedeviled by the devil qi inside their body and turn into a devilish creature without sanity.
Hence, on the Devil Domain Mainland, the devil cultivation sects were as many as mushrooms in the forest after rain. The devil cultivators were even more numerous, and there were also living beings that had lost their sanity after they were bedeviled.
But, Huang Xiaolong cultivated the Asura Tactics, not to mention the fact that he had both the Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird Divine Fires, this devil qi didn't pose any threat to him. In fact, he noticed that after some of this devil qi entered his body, his Asura qi actually became marginally denser. Although minuscule, Huang Xiaolong distinctively detected this change.
He paused momentarily to alter his appearance again, changing into a bone-thin old man with disheveled gray hair. While circulating the Asura Tactics, his eyes seemed to glow a deep blood red, exuding a chilling cold aura from head to toe, no different from a true devil cultivator.
After changing the robe he had on to a fully black robe, Huang Xiaolong quickly determined his direction and flew forward.
One hour later, he appeared not far away from a city. The first thing he noticed was this city’s thirty zhang tall walls that were made by piling together a material called Devil Stone. At the top of the city walls were vague strands of greenish black qi floating out.
The Devil Stones emitted devil qi at all times, which was greatly beneficial to devil cultivators.
“Crimson Devil City.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes looked above the city gates, the name of the city was written in three ancient characters. ‘Crimson Devil City’, these three words contained a sharp ominous force that made one dare not look at it for too long.
Obviously, those three characters were inscribed into the city walls by a powerful old devil with a cultivation of Second Order Highgod Realm, at the very least, with a deep comprehension of their own God’s Law.
‘Second Order Highgod Realm!’ Huang Xiaolong felt his heart palpitate for a second.
In the four galaxies, even though First Order Highgod Realm masters were few in number, at the same time they weren't that few. Most Patriarchs of super forces were First Order Highgod Realm, but Second Order Highgod Realm masters were truly a meager few. Even Ancestors of top-ranked super forces may not be a Second Order Highgod Realm cultivator.
This was also why, when Huang Xiaolong stated the condition of two hundred high divine grade spirit stones a year for Second Order Highgod Realm masters, only a handful of them came to the Huang Clan Manor.
It wasn’t because Second Order Highgod Realm masters weren't tempted, it’s just that the four galaxies didn't have that many of them.
Huang Xiaolong retrieved his gaze and was more careful than ever as he approached the city gates. However, when he was about to pass through the gates, a devil sect disciple blocked his path. The disciple courteously requested, “Senior, kindly show your identity token.”
“Identity token?” Huang Xiaolong repeated, his brows locked together in a deep frown. Entering this Crimson Devil City required an identity token?
The devil sect disciple remained courteous despite Huang Xiaolong’s obvious displeasure, “If Senior doesn’t have our Crimson Devil City’s identity token, Senior merely needs to state your name and pay ten thousand Baihu coins as processing fees, Senior will be given our Crimson Devil City’s identity token. Senior will then be able to enter and exit Crimson Devil City with ease.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded. At the end of the day, he was only paying ten thousand Baihu coins.
A short while later, Huang Xiaolong entered Crimson Devil City after paying ten thousand Baihu coins to have an identity token issued to him.
Walking inside the city, Huang Xiaolong it to be bigger than he had estimated judging from outside, several times bigger than the White Tiger City on Firmament Divinity Mainland.
