Chapter 737 Demons Arise from Desolate Mountains and Harsh Waters

Amidst the surging waves, hundreds of soldiers braved the wind and waves, venturing into unfamiliar territory. They quickly reached the shore, where they disembarked.

The shore was littered with unfinished stone boats, and a few scattered warriors wandered about. But their main force had been wiped out by the human world, and those remaining were the old, weak, and disabled.

Wei Yuan charged directly onto the shore, his demonic blade sweeping across, an invisible killing intent passing by. Within a hundred feet, no one survived in an instant, and dozens of Mane-haired tribesmen fell without a single scratch on their bodies.

Only then did the Demon Blade begin to unleash its power. Before, it had been suppressed throughout the entire battle, and even when it clashed with the long and short swords, Wei Yuan could hear it groaning in pain. However, Wei Yuan sealed its mouth to prevent it from speaking.

Wei Yuan felt a pang of heartache. Those two swords were probably the most precious treasures on Yin Ren's body, definitely celestial blades, no less powerful than the demonic sword Qi Yue. It was a pity that under the secret technique, all their celestial power was drained from them, turning them into scrap metal and flying sand.

With time of the essence, Wei Yuan ordered his men to capture several prisoners for interrogation, while he himself soared into the sky, surveying the surrounding environment.

The terrain here was undulating and unpredictable. Wei Yuan released his divine sense, covering more than 500 miles, but still couldn't find the end. Everywhere there were treacherous peaks thousands of feet high, like blades pointing straight to the sky.

Looking around, Wei Yuan saw a city nestled among the mountains. The city was quite large, with tall buildings standing everywhere, making it seem very crowded. At this moment, many Mane-haired tribesmen could still be seen running back and forth in a panic. The city gates were already closed, and many warriors stood on the city walls, but they were of varying heights, and most of them were slow-moving and old.

Time was of the essence, and Wei Yuan had no time for another attack on the city. He immediately dispatched dozens of soldiers, half of whom materialized in the air the scene of Silver Blade and Lei Ling's deaths, while the other half shouted in unison: "Your leaders are all dead! This land now belongs to Lord Wei Yuan, who slew Silver Blade! Quickly hand over all your treasures, and you may live; otherwise, the heavens will unleash the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and not one of you will be spared!"

Without waiting for a reply, Wei Yuan summoned a small patch of karmic fire, igniting dozens of warriors on the city wall. These warriors collapsed to the ground screaming in agony, their souls consumed by the flames, yet their bodies remained unharmed.

Such ruthless methods instantly shocked the entire city. Under Wei Yuan's stern rebuke, the remaining Thunder Wolf tribesmen finally surrendered. Subsequently, Wei Yuan dispatched a Dragon Guard to the city lord's mansion to begin collecting and inventorying treasures. At the same time, Wei Yuan released several waves of Five Elements Dao Soldiers, totaling over a thousand soldiers, who roamed the city, looting and ransacking the land.

Wei Yuan himself had already left the city to search for his next target.

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he saw a small black dot appear on the horizon at the entrance to the world, flying toward him at an incredible speed. It turned out that Yu Zhizhuo had arrived.

Yu Zhizhuo wasn't good at fighting in the mundane world, so Wei Yuan hadn't summoned him. But now that they needed to plunder the small world, Wei Yuan immediately summoned him, since in terms of mineral exploration, ten Wei Yuans combined couldn't compare to one Yu Zhizhuo.

Yu Zhizhuo, knowing the urgency of the situation, said after meeting up with Wei Yuan, "This world is extremely strange; there isn't a trace of life here. There are neither plants nor spirit beasts. I really don't know how the Thunder Wolf tribe survives..."

At this moment, Wei Yuan was interrogating dozens of tribesmen at the same time. He had already obtained a lot of information and said, "They rely on conquering and plundering the outer world, as well as being fed by the Immortal Venerable."

Yu Zhizhuo's pupils narrowed, and he said, "What ruthless methods! This world is dead. Don't count on the origin, the primordial energy, or the spiritual power. But the minerals have existed since time immemorial. I will go and find a mineral vein immediately. Give me two silver nails. Once I find one, I will plant the silver nails. Then you can come and dig one hole before the deadline."

"Excellent!" Wei Yuan didn't waste any more words, giving Yu Zhizhuo two silver nails. Then, the two each chose a direction and began exploring by flying. At this time, the surviving mortals also entered this world one after another, spreading out and searching at full speed.

That city was the main settlement of the Thunder Wolf tribe, where most of the tribespeople lived. Silverblade, Thunder Spirit, and Wrathful Thunder had all lived in this city before, and even shared a residence.

The most valuable items found in the city lord's mansion were the armor and weapons kept by the three leaders, as well as spoils of war collected over the years. A small portion of the armor and weapons were spirit treasures, more than half were top-grade magic weapons, and the rest were magic weapons with special functions, totaling over a hundred pieces, including more than a dozen spirit treasures. In Lei Ling's residence, a short sword was also found—surprisingly, a ruined immortal weapon!
The greatest treasure offered by the tribal elders was a bronze wine vessel. When this vessel was tilted, water would gush forth, filling the vessel in an instant. This water was the only source of water in the entire world; otherwise, water would have to be seized during conquests in the outer world.

This object has the ability to create something from nothing, and it can generate water in this environment where the source of heaven and earth has been dissipated and the path ahead is cut off. It is a treasure for the Thunder Wolf Tribe, but it is completely useless to Wei Yuan.

Amidst the bustling world, there is a raging flood. Wei Yuan is currently exploring while simultaneously urging seawater to flood this world, hoping to use the power of human activity to crack it. On one hand, Wei Yuan still harbors a glimmer of hope, wanting to see if any of the original essence can be left behind. After all, he managed to get a couple of bites from the first small world, saving him a hundred years of hard work.

Wei Yuan was so busy that steam was rising from his head, and then these tribespeople presented him with a bronze cup that could pour water? Wei Yuan was so angry that he was ready to unleash a few more petals of Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

He wanted to burn the city down, but there was nothing in the city that could start a fire.

While urging the samurai soldiers to speed up the interrogation process, killing those who refused to speak, Wei Yuan flew deeper into the mountains. At this moment, two waves of energy emanated from Yu Zhizhuo's side; he had already planted both silver nails.

Wei Yuan's spirits lifted; finally, some good news. A mine that Yu Zhizhuo had his eye on must be of high quality. The only question was whether a radius of a hundred li would be enough to cover the entire vein.

For the first half hour, Wei Yuan was incredibly excited, filled with the tension and anticipation of exploring a treasure mountain, like facing a series of treasure chests, not knowing which one to open first or what would be inside. However, after half an hour, facing the unchanging scenery and the lifeless world, Wei Yuan was already somewhat exhausted.

This place was quite vast, but it had been dead for an unknown period of time and was extremely barren. However, Wei Yuan thought that he had at least obtained a damaged immortal weapon and several spiritual treasures, which finally cheered him up a little.

But the value of these things is actually less than the two mouthfuls of primordial energy that Wei Yuan consumed in the first small world.

As he flew, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed something unusual ahead. It was a valley, half-hidden among the mountains, shrouded in mist that pulsated like a heartbeat. Curious, he flew over and landed directly in the center of the valley.

Since this place is dead and there can be no living beings or spiritual plants, Wei Yuan wanted to see if there was anything special here.

But as soon as he landed, Wei Yuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

At this moment, a message came from a Dao soldier in Wei Yuan's mind: under severe torture and threats to the lives of his family, the oldest tribal elder finally confessed that a powerful demon was hidden deep in this world, and even Silver Blade was unwilling to provoke it!
Wei Yuan suddenly looked up through the thick fog and saw the sky instantly change, with two bright green suns shining in the center! These were not suns at all, but clearly the two eyes of some demon!

Just by looking at its size, you can tell that this is definitely a Royal Demon!
At this moment, Wei Yuan no longer had the strength to curse. If he had gotten this information a few minutes earlier, he wouldn't have ended up crashing into the monster's lair.

At this moment, Wei Yuan's whole body tensed up, as invisible chains bound him firmly to the spot. It turned out that he had been locked onto by this demonic creature without realizing it.

On the verge of life and death, Wei Yuan made a decisive move, took out a silver nail and hammered it into the ground, then swung his jade hoe and dug!
In the blink of an eye, Wei Yuan found himself standing in the void, the valley and the demon having been sent into the human world. Only then did Wei Yuan break out in a cold sweat.
