Chapter 822: Chapter 429 The Test Begins_2
The group continued forward, and finally, at a distance of three thousand meters from the Stone Hall.
Unexpectedly, an incident occurred.
From a grave merely half a meter tall, a Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful demon emerged.
To call it a grave was a bit of a stretch; it was more like a small mound of earth, especially compared to the graves of Great Monsters, this one was far too small.
Maybe this grave was once tall, but after countless years, it no longer had its former glory.
If it weren’t for the foreknowledge, Su Nan wouldn’t have noticed the grave at all.
“Roar!”
A low growl resonated as a massive Resentful demon appeared, resembling a giant elephant in size and stature.
If it weren’t seen emerging from that unremarkable little mound, nobody would imagine that such an enormous creature could come from what looked like a clod of earth.
It’s here!
Su Nan’s mind tensed, and he immediately consumed one hundred points of Demon Race Luck to cast a fortune-altering technique.
Having devoured two Demonic Emperors earlier, he had accumulated four hundred points of Qi Luck, and now, after spending a hundred, he had three hundred left.
With Su Nan’s prior warning, Long Yunhan and the others were well prepared and not intimidated; they rather sought to confront the Resentful demon.
Unfortunately, they overestimated themselves. As foreseen, they were no match for the Resentful demon and had to flee in all directions, each employing their techniques, rushing towards the Inheritance Stone Hall of the Heavenly Demon.
The unlucky one among them was none other than He Wushuang of the Chong Ming Crane clan.
“Now is the moment! I hope this grave won’t let me down.”
Su Nan reacted swiftly and took immediate action.
To be truthful, whether the grave contained any Saint-level Blood Essence was still unknown, not to mention the Saint-level essence.
According to the previously foreseen information, after stealing the skeleton, the situation was too urgent for him to check; the current situation was the same. Even if he predicted again, risking being killed, it would be difficult to get results within a short time.
Making a move now was entirely a gamble; he was betting that there were remains of blood essence within the skeleton in the grave.
This time, he didn’t use the Across the Heavens Shift technique; having attained the power to chase stars and moons, he found it more effective.
There being no sun and moon in the Ancestral Land, the duration of techniques could only last ten minutes; but that was more than enough.
With the technique active, his Speed surged instantly and in a flash, he was before the grave.
With a punch, the Late-stage Emperor Grade Resentful demon’s grave burst apart, revealing the deeply buried skeletons.
The skeletons were numerous and well-preserved, showing no signs of weathering despite the unknown millennia they had existed.
Su Nan didn’t even bother to look; he instantly cast Universe in the Sleeve and gathered all the skeletons. Then, with unprecedented speed, he dashed towards the Stone Hall.
“Roar!” With its grave destroyed and the skeletons stolen, even the mindless Resentful demon went into a frenzy, abandoning Chong Ming Crane to launch a ferocious attack on Su Nan.
“Brother Lang Wu, such magnanimity!” Seeing Su Nan attract the attack of the Resentful demon, He Wushuang, who was targeted by the demon, was almost moved to tears.
However, the man had no intention of assisting Su Nan and instead quickly rushed towards the Stone Hall.
The Resentful demon went mad, unleashing an unprecedented violent assault. Faced with the full force of a Late-stage Emperor Grade demon, Su Nan had no power to resist.
In the crucial moment, he used Across the Heavens Shift, and his figure vanished to reappear inside the Stone Hall.
[Congratulations, you have completed the daily task “Enter the Heavenly Demon Inheritance Land,” 60 points of Demon Power have been awarded.]
[Current available demonic power: 680 points]
At the same moment, an overwhelming and undeniable wave of sleepiness struck, and Su Nan fell into a deep sleep.
…
“Wake up!”
After an indeterminate amount of time, a calling voice roused Su Nan from his slumber.
Before his eyes were three children, six or seven years old, two boys and one girl.
“The trial has begun!” Su Nan immediately sat up and checked for any changes in his body.
As expected, all the Strength that had once belonged to him had vanished, leaving only a strange bloodline power. This new strength was extremely weak, comparable only to the Late Mortal Stage.
He then called out for the Personal Information Panel and Personal Space.
To his disappointment, and as he had anticipated, all game-related powers were gone in this place.
“It seems I won’t be able to complete the trial, nor can I quit the game now,” he mused.
Su Nan wasn’t disheartened; he had anticipated such a situation and instead felt an ethereal connection, his eyes lighting up with joy.
