Chapter 711: Abyssal Wood Demon Kings Tomb (1/2)
A single mistake resulted in half the demon's forces getting wiped out.
Everyone understood that the traps related to Demon Lord-level Tombs and higher were dangerous. However, the power and lethality displayed were beyond everyone's expectations.
”What kind of tree roots and vines are these? How can they be so powerful?” a Crimsonfog Tribe's Battle Master exclaimed with disbelief.
Everyone quickly re-evaluated the trees that surrounded them with abject horror as another commented, ”It's the first time I've seen such a large number of Lesser Demons getting killed so easily.”
”Their defenses were like paper, and their lives were like chopping grass. They could not resist at all! These trees are not simple.”
As the Battle Masters discussed in low whispers, Aria noticed the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's expression before she asked, ”What do you think, senior?”
”The power didn't come from the trees themselves but the runes that empowered them,” the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stated seriously before adding, ”Judging by their level of lethality, this runic array must be at least Tier-7!”
”Tier-7 Array?! I was expecting Tier-6, but a Tier-7 changes everything,” a Battle Master commented with a grave look.
The other Battle Masters gasped as they drew in a breath of cold air to relieve their tensed nerves.
”Tier-7…”
Darlene uttered softly with a shaky voice beside Aria.
At the same time, Aria noticed the heavy change in the atmosphere before turning to Darlene with a slightly puzzled look.
”Why does everyone looks so serious now?” Aria asked.
”For a tomb to have any Tier-7 formations and arrays guarding it, it implies the tomb itself has already exceeded the Demon Lord-level,” Darlene explained.
”In other words, the tomb hidden here is at the Demon King-level?” Aria asked for confirmation.
Darlene nodded.
”Demon King-level Tomb, huh?” Leon softly muttered as he withdrew from studying the runes on the Arch Demon's body and stowed it away in his Worldspace.
”A Demon King… this level of existence should be equivalent to an Awakener at the Celestial Lord Realm… But this doesn't make sense…”
Leon furrowed his brows in thought.
Tier-6 contained power at the level of a Celestial Warrior for Awakeners, while it was at the Demon Lord for demons, which also means Demon Lords were equivalent Celestial Warriors.
In that case, Demon Emperors were only equivalent to Celestial Kings in power?
Nevertheless, everyone was puzzled by Albion's words before the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman inquired, ”What's a Celestial Lord, Young Master Leonhardt?”
”Ah, a Celestial Lord is…” Leon proceeded to explain the four realms of Celestial Cultivation after Awakeners ascend beyond the three stages of Transcendence.
”Four realms of Celestial Cultivation… We are just specks of dust in this infinitely large world…”
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman shook his head as he lamented at his small and insignificant existence in the vast cosmos.
Shortly after, he shifted his gaze back to Leon and curiously asked, ”But how does Young Master Leonhardt know about—”
”Shh.”
