Chapter 824 - Chapter 824: Chapter 430 Heavenly Demons Strength_2 (2/2)
After four consecutive predictions, each consuming 20 foreknowledge opportunities, Su Nan had lost a day.
This meant that the time allotted for the second trial was still one day.
If the old man wasn’t killed within a day and a method to rescue the Heavenly Demon Master wasn’t found, the trial would be considered a failure.
“We can’t let that old guy get away!”
“Searching for the antidote to save the Heavenly Demon Master is just incidental; killing that old man is of utmost importance.”
“Once he gets away, failing the second trial wouldn’t be any different, as that old man is at a mid-stage Emperor grade. If he truly wanted to escape, even if we knew his final whereabouts, he couldn’t be caught in one day.”
“There’s only one chance, success or die trying!”
Now, Su Nan finally understood the crux of this trial.
As for the Ancient Wilderness Relic, Su Nan had given up.
After more than ten foreknowledge attempts, there was no progress. Whenever he approached the resentful spirits of the Ancient Wilderness Sect’s race, he would be discovered and then attacked.
That was a presence comparable to a Saint Level. After replenishing enough essence and blood, the Heavenly Demon Bone Umbrella could withstand an attack, but only just.
“The items on the Ancient Wilderness Sect Leader will have to be given up for now. I can only wait until I’m stronger to go after it.”

[Congratulations, you’ve completed the daily task “Passing the First Challenge of the Heavenly Demon” and the award of 60 points of Demon Power has been granted.]
[Current available demon power: 860 points]
An hour later, at the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, within the stone hall of the Heavenly Demon inheritance, in a stone room, Su Nan opened his eyes, and his gaze fell upon a stone door in front of him, engraved with a large ‘二’ character.
In front of him, there was also a Jade Bottle floating in the air.
He grabbed it and, after a glance, stowed it away.
This was indeed a drop of King-level Ancient Demon Essence Blood, and not of ordinary quality, but now was not the time to study these things.
“The first challenge has been passed.” Even though he knew this would be the outcome, Su Nan still breathed a sigh of relief.
The trials of the Heavenly Demon were somewhat strange; inside, the power of the game was completely blocked. He suspected that if he died there, it would be a true death.
Looking at the time, it was just Midnight in reality, and a new day was beginning, with task refresh occurring.
At the same time, another figure appeared in the stone room.
It was a young man with a scholarly appearance, yet he hailed from the morning star beast race with the foreknowledge ability—it was Xing Yi.
“Lang Wu, brother?”
“You actually passed the trial too!” Xing Yi was startled to see Su Nan, then surprise flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, he had not expected not only for Su Nan to pass the trial but also to be the first to come out.
Su Nan was also surprised and suddenly thought, could this guy’s abilities be used in the trial?
But he immediately shook his head inwardly. If the morning star beast race’s Talent worked during the trials, that clan would have likely obtained the inheritance years ago.
In the brief moment these thoughts flickered through his mind, two more figures appeared.
A man and a woman, namely Long Yunhan from the Silver Dragon clan and Luan Qingyu from the Crystal Feather Phoenix Clan.
Upon seeing Su Nan, both were surprised, and all three exchanged looks, each revealing suspicion in their eyes.
“It seems you’ve hidden quite a few things from me!” A chill flickered in Su Nan’s eyes.
He naturally knew what they were thinking; the fact that they could emerge indicated they knew the detailed method to clear the trial, they knew what would happen if they followed the route on the map, and how to deal with it.
“Forgive me, brother Lang Wu, you’ve also made it out, haven’t you?” Long Yunhan said with a smile, showing no intention to explain.
At this moment, Xing Yi quickly changed the subject: “Long Yunmu and He Wushuang haven’t come out yet. It seems they’ve encountered trouble.”
The fact that they hadn’t appeared yet despite time in the stone hall being fairly consistent, and with the trial lasting no more than one day, the implications were clear to them all.
Luan Qingyu said, “Let’s wait a bit more, perhaps there’s still hope?”
The three swiftly deflected and offered no explanation for why they kept information from Su Nan. They knew the more they tried to clarify, the worse it would become; silence was the best approach.
Su Nan glanced coldly at them but did not trouble them, knowing they were about to enter the second challenge. He was curious to see how many of them would survive.
Ignoring them, he turned his attention to the Daily Task.
