Chapter 1075: The Sixth Demon Realm (1/2)

In the Sixth Demon Realm.

The Lancelot Clan sat in the depths of the Dark Morass near the northern border of the realm.

A slender spatial rift that floated over the morass suddenly started to surge with unusual spatial fluctuations. Immediately afterwards, figures started to stream out of it.

After landing on a piece of soggy purple land, Zhao Shanling said to Nie Tian, “We’re here. This is the Sixth Demon Realm.

“There are a large number of spatial rifts in this realm, but most of them connect to its subordinate realms, which are populated with numerous low-grade Demons and spirit beasts.

“Some of those realms even have humans in them, human slaves to be exact. They’re driven by their Demon masters to mine demonic stones and pick demonic grass.”

SHEW! SHEW! SHEW!

Figures continued to pour out of the spatial rift, and spread out around Nie Tian.

Nie Tian looked skywards, and could vaguely see some stars in the dark sky.

However, those stars were very dim and vague, as if star power couldn’t penetrate the barrier of this realm.

“This realm...” Dong Li’s expression flickered as she glanced around. The black tortoise resting at her feet also suddenly grew spirited, as if the environment in the Sixth Demon Realm agreed with it very much. “This realm is wreathed in pure dark power!”

“This realm once gave birth to a late tenth grade Demon grand monarch, who was recognized to be one of the strongest Demons throughout Demon history,”Zhao Shanling said with a hint of respect in his eyes. “It’s said that he learned the true origin of dark power in the Sixth Demon Realm, and therefore entered the tenth grade.

“Even after becoming a grand monarch, he continued to live in the Sixth Demon Realm for some time. His existence triggered changes, and rich dark power gradually filled every corner of the realm. Most members of the Astarte Clan, which is the strongest clan in the Sixth Demon Realm, carry dark power bloodlines too.”

Taken aback, Nie Tian asked, “So does that mean this realm is an ideal place for Dong Li to practice cultivation?”

“I suppose so,” Zhao Shanling answered.

Both Dong Li and her black tortoise thrived on dark power. This meant the Sixth Demon Realm was indeed a blessed land for them.

“Hey, girl,” Zhao Shanling called out. “You’re up.”

Without saying a word, Pei Qiqi summoned her irregularly shaped crystal.

The crystal spun slowly, glittering spatial blades filling all of its facets, as if to detect any unusual spatial fluctuations throughout the Sixth Demon Realm.

Eyes as bright as diamonds, Pei Qiqi said, “There are a total of seventeen stable spatial rifts in this realm, all connecting to different places. All of the rest are congested and unaccessible. Other than that, there are two teleportation portals. One of them is fairly close to us.”

Zhao Shanling grinned. “Those two teleportation portals are respectively controlled by the Astarte Clan and the Lancelot Clan, which are the two strongest clans in the Sixth Demon Realm.Powerful Demons from the First, Second, and Third Demon Realms rely on them to enter and leave the Sixth Demon Realm.

“By getting rid of those two teleportation portals, we’ll be able to cut off the Sixth Demon Realm’s connections with the three Demon realms that can actually pose a threat to us.”

Pei Qiqi nodded slightly. “None of the places that the seventeen spatial rifts connect to are worth mentioning. We can simply ignore them. But to be safe, I’ll destroy them all the same. How about you take care of the Astarte Clan’s teleportation portal, and leave the Lancelot Clan’s teleportation portal to me?”

“Sure.” Zhao Shanling agreed.

The reason why he had asked for Pei Qiqi’s assistance was because he intended to destroy the two teleportation portals at the same time.

What he feared was that by destroying one of the teleportation portals, they would alarm the Demons by the other one, and give them time to call for help.

“Okay, let’s get started,” Pei Qiqi said plainly.

Immediately afterwards, she and Zhao Shanling each split open a spatial rift and vanished into them.

All of the others stayed put and waited for word from them.

“Everything’s going to be okay with Miss Pei, right?” Qu Mingde asked, looking somewhat worried. “After all, she’s only at the late Soul realm, and there are some eighth grade Demons in this realm...”

“Everything will be okay.” Nie Tian assured him.

He had witnessed Pei Qiqi’s mighty means when they had fought side by side in the Domain of Nether Heaven. Back then, her cultivation base had been even lower, and yet she had slain eighth grade outsiders effortlessly.

Not to mention now.

He hadn’t attached much importance to the Sixth Demon Realm since the moment he had learned that the strongest Demon in it was only at the peak of the eighth grade.

He was no longer the same youngster who had been able to do nothing but watch Demon invaders butcher the people of the Domain of the Falling Stars.

Back when the joint forces from the Demons from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Demon Realms had invaded the Domain of the Falling Stars, he had only been able to watch experts like Hua Mu, Li Muyang, and Ling Dong fight the high-tier Demons.

But now, as long as he had the Star Behemoth bone in his hand, not a single Demon in the Sixth Demon Realm would be able to stop him, provided that no Demon grand patriarchs were to come to their aid.

Raging Demon qi filled every corner of the realm. A large number of low-grade demonic insects were gnawing at each other in the morass and strengthening themselves by devouring the remains of the dead.

This was commonly seen among low-grade demonic insects and beasts. They fought, killed, and devoured each other nonstop.
