Chapter 696: The Eternal Night Secret Realm Opens (1/2)

After studying the dark clouds for a moment, Leon slowly shifted his attention to the bottom of the abyss.

He was not sure what it was, but his gut instincts were telling him that whatever was sealed down there was extremely dangerous.

However, this danger was only concerning if he chose to foolishly venture down there without understanding what he is up against.

More importantly, the thousands of demons gathered on the floating landmasses poses a more significant threat presently.

”Lord Yomu, shall we head down and slaughter all these pesky humans to avenge our brethren?” a Single-horned Lesser Demon suggested on the unconnected floating landmass.

”As much as I would like to, no,” the Double-horned Greater Demon, Lord Yomu, rejected the suggestion with a shake of his head.

”The secret realm is about to be opened after the staircase to heaven is constructed. It won't be too late to deal with the humans once we are inside.”

”Understood, Lord Yomu,” the Single-horned Lesser Demon slightly bowed.

”Glad that you understand the bigger picture, Yomu,” the Four-armed Greater Demon shortly said to the Double-horned Greater Demon.

”Alright, our landmass is about to connect with the rest. Brace yourself for impact, and don't foolishly fall off to feed the abyss.”

Rumble!

The floating landmass shortly connected with the colossal staircase-in-the-making, causing the entire landmass to shake terribly like an earthquake.

”Ahhh—!”

Several Lesser Demons fell off, nonetheless, despite the prior warnings of the Greater Demons.

However, a few winged Lesser Demons quickly broke their fall with a flap of their wings while the rest continued to plunge their doom, disappearing into the abyss beyond redemption.

”Hahaha, stupid demons. Look at them fall!” a Low-rank Battle Masters pointed with a hearty laugh as if he was looking at a bunch of clowns making a fool of themselves.

The other Battle Masters shortly joined in with short peals of laughter while making their own ridiculing remarks at the demons.

Leon squeezed his way to the front and met up with the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and the others he was familiar with.

”Ahh, Young Master Leonhardt. You've made it,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman greeted before he chuckled softly, ”You had me worried that you weren't going to make it. It would have been impossible for you to get in once the secret realm is fully opened.”

”You mean inside of this wall of dark clouds?” Leon glanced back at the revolving dark clouds before he said, ”I feel the power of space infused into these dark clouds of darkness. Is there any difference between being outside the dark clouds and being in the wall of dark clouds?”

Leon understood that they were meant to be inside the space within the wall and not inside the wall of dark clouds itself.

As such, he felt like there would be a problem.

”Difference? Of course, there's one!” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated before explaining further, ”Being outside the dark clouds means not being able to enter the Eternal Night Secret Realm at all.”

”On the other hand, if we stay inside this wall of dark clouds, we will be transported into the Eternal Night Secret Realm, albeit randomly, meaning we will all be separated. Still, it's a better situation than facing all those Lesser Demons and Greater Demons over there directly.”

”I see…” Leon knitted his brows together before he said, ”That makes sense… We are, after all, severely outnumbered. If we had the entire elites of the Infertile Plains, then we might have been able to stand our ground.”

”However, with only 700-odd number of us, it is impossible to take on the elites of the demon land. Otherwise, the demon's territory would have been conquered long ago if that was possible, right? Senior?”

”Precisely so,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded.

”Still,” Leon added with a deep frown before shifting his gaze to the side, ”If we were going to be transported randomly and become separated, there's also a chance that we will land right in the middle of the demons or traps in the secret realm if we are unlucky.”

”Yes, Young Master Leonhardt. That possibility certainly exists,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman did not deny the chances before saying, ”However, there is no such thing as an opportunity without danger when seeking fortune in the Eternal Night Secret Realm.”

”The Eternal Night Secret Realm is no ordinary place. On the contrary, it is extraordinarily full of danger—some of which are even greater than what the demons pose. That is why I have suggested not to bring your lovers along, Young Master Leonhardt.”

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman smiled wryly as he spoke.

Despite his advice, the Divine Doctor still decided to bring his lovers, especially the native one. There was a high chance that she was going to die on this trip—at least, that is what he believed.

Nevertheless, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman did not rule out the possibility that Young Master Leonhardt had some unique life-saving means to keep them all alive.
