Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: Just a Third-rate Strongman
A dim, yellow sun hung high in the sky. Through the dreary heavens, it resembled a cured salted duck egg yolk, and although its rays showered the earth, the sun still conveyed a chilling sensation.
The Slaughtering Spirit Mountain Range was situated atop the tallest peak in the northern part of the Dark Demon World. It was also the most perilous place in the entire realm. Infested with magical beasts and teeming with Fierce Birds, dangers lurked everywhere, and few dared to venture here. Nine towering peaks surrounded a modest basin, and at the center of this basin was a jade platform. Together with the nine peaks, it formed the one-way Teleportation Formation that connected the Central Continent with the Dark Demon World.
Beiting Huang and his three companions had emerged from the Teleportation Formation two days ago. Guided by Xu Xiaomo, they found a clean cave on a nearby peak to take temporary shelter for rest and reorganization. Their sole purpose of coming to the Dark Demon World was to acquire devil origin, and for them, who had just arrived in this plane, the concentration of demonic energy was at its utmost, significantly denser than that of the Central Continent or the 33 Heavens, especially since the entire Rubis World was devoid of any demonic energy.
The difference in demonic energy inside and outside their bodies had led to an opportunity in their first month here where, if they cultivated properly, they could plant a Magic Power Seed within themselves, achieving permanent results. From that point onward, they need not worry about lacking devil origin for advancement.
However, planting a Magic Power Seed was not an easy task.
For Beiting Huang, magical power held no allure for him. His body now contained an Ancestral Stone, and the vastness of the demonic energy within it was beyond imagination. Moreover, the concentration of demonic energy and spiritual qi inside his Bangle Space was already at a level much denser than that in the Dark Demon World.
Xu Xiaomo and the other two were sitting cross-legged in the cave, drawing in the demonic energy from the heavens and the earth. The one month’s time was exceptionally precious to them. Under such circumstances, Beiting Huang couldn’t stray too far. He hovered in front of the cave entrance for a moment and decided to explore the vicinity first.
Although the three were in seclusion, they were not in any danger. The Chi Fei Brothers had reached the Lord Realm, and Xu Xiaomo was a Great Lord-level powerhouse. In this plane, there were very few who could threaten their lives, and at worst, they could simply crush their life tokens and return to the 33 Heavens.
In contrast, Beiting Huang, being only a Peak God King, could only be considered a third-tier power in this plane. Whether it was a Divine Emperor, a Divine Lord, or a Great Lord, all had the strength to crush Beiting Huang with ease.
.comBut in the Central Continent, Beiting Huang had climbed from the status of a waste to the peak of the land. Although he was currently at the bottom in terms of strength, it did not mean he had to keep his head down and live cautiously.
Having eyed a mountain peak opposite him, Beiting Huang’s divine senses spread outwards. He could feel many dangerous Fierce Birds and ferocious beasts all around, currently eyeing him as if they might launch an attack at any moment.
Beiting Huang’s hand had already tapped his waist, and the flexible sword was in his grasp. With a movement in the air, multiple afterimages trailed behind him like the tail of a shooting star, flickering through the mist between the mountains, and soon, he reached the opposite peak.
Standing on a huge rock, Beiting Huang dared not move further. The mist, which had previously swayed with the wind, now came to a standstill, as if the mountain itself was devoid of any breeze. The grass leaves at his feet seemed unable to withstand such pressure, slowly bending their blades before suddenly flicking upwards.
