Chapter 657: Chapter 348: Ten Thousand Demon Ridge_2
One thing was certain: the triggering of the mainline quest was related to his strength. His strength made it impossible for him to trigger some simple tasks, and even if he managed to, they would be high-difficulty tasks.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. He didn’t want to attempt low-difficulty tasks even if they were triggered.
“I still have two Main Quest Replication Cards on me, but it’s a shame that there are no tasks worth duplicating.”
“Today is the last day of the Twelve Zodiac Palace, and we won’t know if the rewards for the top three places this time include Main Quest Replication Cards.”
The starlight sprinkled down, and the bright moon was beautifully illuminated in the night sky. Checking the time, it was already midnight in-game.
There were still seven or eight hours left until the opening of the Twelve Zodiac Palace.
In the rankings, Zhang Yang and Wang Nan led the way.
Lang Thirteen, because he didn’t enter the Twelve Zodiac Palace twice, scored 100,000 fewer points than Zhang Yang and Wang Nan’s characters.
Despite that, he still had tens of thousands more points than the fourth-ranked law-controlling Kaisel, who had a wide range of offensive abilities!
Without a doubt, even if all the players from the Twelve States participated this time, the top three would still be his.
The Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was vast.
If viewed from a map, the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was shaped like a crescent. The outer curve of the crescent bordered the legendary Demon Sea, while the inner curve connected to three of the nine districts that the humans once controlled.
Wansheng State was not too far from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. Just three hours later, Su Nan had already arrived at the edge of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
Standing on a mountain peak, he surveyed the endless mountain range from afar.
Ancient trees towered to the sky, and continuous mountain ranges stretched out. In the distance, a tremendous peak piercing the sky could be seen.
Great Princess, standing beside Su Nan, looked at the towering peak and said, “That’s Giant Pinnacle, ranking tenth among the top ten peaks of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. It’s the territory of the Golden Bone Ape clan, which was once rumored to be one of the Ancient Hundred Clans.”
“Golden Bone Ape?”
Su Nan nodded and searched his memory for information about the Golden Bone Ape clan.
Golden Bone Ape, ranked 73rd among the ancient demon races, was even more advanced than Skywolf Clan. Named for its golden crystal-like bones, the Golden Bone Ape possessed formidable strength and stamina, and it was a renowned master of attrition.
This species had a talent that allowed them to store their excess strength in their bones during ordinary times. Once they encountered a powerful foe, they could continuously release the stored strength in their bones, multiplying their power.
This process could last as short as ten-plus minutes or as long as several hours. Battling against such an existence, if one could not kill it quickly, they would be exhausted to death.
Su Nan looked at the towering peak and said, “There are ten such peaks, and each one should be occupied by a powerful demon clan, right?”
Great Princess nodded: “The nine demon clans occupying the peaks ranked tenth to second are the strongest demon clans today.”
“Nine clans? No demon clan occupies the highest peak?”
“The highest peak is called Picking Stars; it is the residence of Demon Monarch!”
“Moreover, it is our holy land for the demon clan. The Heavenly Demon Hall is built at the foot of that peak, and the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony is held there every time.”
Demon Monarch!
Su Nan suddenly understood why other demon clans wouldn’t dare to occupy a peak occupied by Demon Monarch, but at the same time, his heart sank.
The Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony was actually held under the watchful eye of Demon Monarch, which undoubtedly posed some risk to him.
Fortunately, thanks to the Life Wheel Scripture and the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations techniques, even Saint Level experts wouldn’t be able to detect any abnormalities, so he wasn’t too worried.
“What realm is Demon Monarch?” Su Nan asked curiously.
Without a doubt, the twelve Demon Emperors who ruled the Twelve States in this world had the highest realm. If it were in ancient times, these beings would have been at least God Level.
However, in this era when the Heavenly and Earthly Vitality was cut off, he did not think there were any God Level beings.
In fact, Su Nan even doubted that there were any Saint-level beings; otherwise, with their strength, they might have exterminated human clan long ago.
However, Great Princess’s words made him doubt that.
Great Princess shook her head and said, “Demon Monarch is incredibly mysterious. No one knows his specific strength, but it’s certain that our Demon Monarch in Dongchen State has been alive for tens of thousands of years.”
“There’s a rumor that in the ancient times, Lord Demon Monarch was already a King-level powerhouse.”
