Chapter 764 - Chapter 764: Chapter 400 The Arrival of Misfortune_2 (2/2)

Why would they do such a thing?

After some contemplation, he thought of a possibility, “It seems they knew I was coming.”

It was clear that they knew he would come and that, if they acted with him, it was highly likely that he would end up with the benefits, leaving them with nothing but empty hands at the end.

Given that, it was better to split the treasures evenly. Although this would generally reduce the probability of successfully stealing the Demon Saint Essence Blood, it could effectively widen the gap from him, increasing their chances of competing for the final Task Reward.

“Well, I haven’t even started scheming against you, and you’re already scheming against me,” Su Nan shook his head, disdainful of their actions.

[After some discussion, you learn that as per their plan, they will use a space-piercing talisman to directly traverse space and enter the Demon Clan Ancestral Land when it opens in four days.]

[Then each will rely on their abilities to search within the Ancestral Land, and if anyone finds the Demon Saint Essence Blood, they will reconvene and leave together.]

[You have no intention of acting together with them. After separating, four hours later, you find a mountaintop and begin cultivating the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture by harnessing the power of Sun’s Fire.]

[Twelve hours later, not daring to cultivate for too long, you end your cultivation session prematurely. This time, the progress of your Great Sun Body’s Second Layer has increased by 2%.]

[Sixteen hours later, the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony begins again, fifty to twenty, eliminating thirty people today.]

[Your opponent is a genius from the cold scorpion clan, unfortunately, his late King Rank Strength is no match for you, and you easily defeat him, winning the match and entering the top twenty.]

[Twenty hours later, you use a demon beast’s Divine Soul to cultivate the Sky Demon Devouring Divine Technique, and your Progress skyrockets. You’re only one Emperor-level Demonic Beast away from reaching The Fifth Level.]

[One day later, you learn that demon beasts have begun appearing in Various States, and the Demon God Palace is active frequently.]

[One and a half days later, the fourth round of the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony begins, and your opponent is a Peak King-level Genius. Eventually, you win the match again and enter the top ten.]

[Two days later, you learn that the Destiny Society has appeared in Tianjue Province and seems to be conducting a certain ceremony, which you pay particular attention to, realizing that their actions could potentially be detrimental to you.]

[After some investigation, you learn that the Destiny Society has collected a large quantity of Demon Essence Blood and has been frequenting a Forbidden Land in Tianjue Province known as “Ancient Desolate Ruins.”]

[Two and a half days later, the fifth round of the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony begins, and you make it into the top five.]

[Three days later, you attempt to cultivate the Four Seasons Cycle Scripture. Just as you’re about to make a breakthrough, you suddenly become restless. You realize there’s a problem but can’t pinpoint where.]

[A minute later, you successfully cultivate the first realm of the Four Seasons Cycle Scripture, mastering a part of the power of Time.]

[However, just then, you discover in horror that the Four Seasons Cycle Scripture inside you has gone out of control, with Time passing rapidly over your body, aging visibly fast.]

[Two minutes later, three hundred years of Time have passed over you, your body aging rapidly, and you consume the Longevity Fruit, which could extend one’s lifespan, but to no avail.]

[Three minutes later, six hundred years of Lifespan pass, your Lifespan is exhausted, and you die.]

[Before dying, you realize that you were under the influence of an extremely terrible curse.]

“Curse!”

“Destiny Society! This is definitely Destiny Society’s doing!”

Su Nan’s face turned ugly as he instinctively associated the ceremony conducted by the Destiny Society with this event from his foreknowledge.

He didn’t expect his hunch to be right.

Although this foreknowledge didn’t explicitly state his death was linked to the Destiny Society, a curse, a mysterious power related to Qi Luck, could only be mastered by the Heavenly Race.

The relationship between the Heavenly Race and the Destiny Society goes without saying.

“Tianjue Province, so they know I can’t leave East Chen and are deliberately avoiding me!”

Last time, the members of the Destiny Society in East Chen were wiped out by him, and this time, those from the Destiny Society have learned their lesson.

Su Nan sighed inwardly, while also acknowledging the methods of the Destiny Society.

Despite being countless miles away, in other states, they had the power to act against him—a feat probably only Saint Level beings from the human or demon clans could achieve.

“This truly is a difficult problem they’ve posed for me.”

Frowning in deep thought, he quickly pondered a solution.
