My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Young Master Li."

Jiang Qingxue turned her head and looked at Li Chen.

"I sensed it while I was still in mid-air."

"There is absolutely no spiritual energy here."

"The air is filled with a thick, volatile, and even eroding demonic aura!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen's smile froze slightly.

"A demonic aura?"

"Yes." Jiang Qingxue nodded weakly.

"If I'm not mistaken, we are now completely outside the boundaries of the Origin Heaven Realm."

"We've been teleported to one of the most dangerous and chaotic secret realms in the cultivation world..."

"The Realm of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Upon hearing this name, Li Chen's brows furrowed instantly.

The Realm of Ten Thousand Demons.

As the name suggests, this is a terrifying world dominated by monsters and orcs.

Here, humanity was utterly powerless. They were even treated as the lowest of slaves and livestock by the great demons.

Human cultivators who fall into this place are like a piece of delicious, fatty meat that has fallen into a pack of wolves.

"No wonder those sows looked so abstract, like they had undergone a genetic mutation."

Li Chen stroked his chin and muttered something under his breath.

"Then how do we get back? We can't just live like savages in this Demon Realm forever, can we?" Li Chen asked, turning his head.

"There is a way."

Jiang Qingxue answered in a deep voice, but her tone remained heavy.

"Legend has it that in the core of the Demon Realm, there is a boundary node that naturally connects to the starry sky of all realms."

"As long as we can find that node, we have a chance to return to the Tang Dynasty you want to go to."

"but."

Jiang Qingxue paused, her eyes turning incredibly dark.

"The boundary node is firmly controlled by the most powerful demon emperor in the myriad demon realm."

"That demon emperor is said to be an ancient species that has lived for over a thousand years, and its cultivation has reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm!"

"Moreover, he commands an army of hundreds of thousands of demons!"

Hearing this despairing lineup...

Jiang Liyue, standing beside her, turned as pale as paper once again.

Half-step Nascent Soul! An army of 100,000!

With just the three of them, one of whom is a cripple who has completely exhausted his spiritual power, how could they possibly get through? This is a hundred times harder than climbing to the heavens!

however.

To the sisters' utter astonishment...

After hearing about the terrifying enemy lineup, Li Chen showed no sign of despair or fear.

instead.

His eyes gradually brightened.

Like two high-powered searchlights, they shone with an extremely bright light in the dim cave.

"Miss Jiang, you mean...?"

Li Chen rubbed his hands together, a strange, even slightly perverse, excited smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Are there many monsters in this place?"

"Many powerful demonic beasts, each containing enormous amounts of crystalline energy?"

Jiang Qingxue paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yes... they're everywhere. In this Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, the one thing that's never lacking is demonic beasts."

"Hahahahaha!"

Li Chen suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter. The sound echoed in the cave, causing dust to fall from the stone walls.

He looked at his long, slender, and fair hands.

For others, coming to the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons is like entering a slaughterhouse where nine out of ten will die.

But Li Chen is different!

His newly awakened dual spiritual roots of "Supreme Space and Lightning" are simply the most perfect and domineering energy juicer!

No spiritual energy?

It doesn't matter at all!

As long as we kill those demonic beasts and extract their crystal cores and demon cores, no matter how violent or full of bestial impurities the energy contained within is...

His purple-gold lightning could forcefully shatter and purify it!

His spatial constitution allows him to perfectly absorb and transform it into the purest true essence!

What does he lack most right now?

It's blue energy! It's a massive amount of energy replenishing his depleted dantian!

"A hundred thousand demon soldiers? Half-step Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Li Chen licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light like a hungry wolf eyeing a lamb.

How is this an obstacle?

This is clearly a huge group of walking power banks!

"Miss Jiang, Li Yue."

With a wave of his hand, Li Chen swept away his previous dejection and strode confidently toward the cave exit.

"Let's go! Come with me to hunt monsters and farm crystal cores!"

"I'll clear out all the monsters in this Demon Realm and completely restore my mana bar."

Li Chen sneered, his tone extremely arrogant.

"Let alone a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, even if a true Nascent Soul expert came, I'm confident I could put up a good fight!"

The three of them, one in front and one behind, carefully walked out of the hidden cave.

Outside in the Demon Realm, the sky was a somber, dark red.

The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood and decay.

"roar--!"

They hadn't gone far.

A chilling growl suddenly echoed from the dense black forest ahead.

Followed by.

Seven or eight wolves, each the size of a calf, covered in black scales and with eyes glowing eerie green, slowly emerged from the bushes.

This is the most common low-level demonic beast in the Demon Realm, the Netherworld Demon Wolf.

Each one is as powerful as a human cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment!

They twitched their noses, greedily inhaling the sweet, fleshy scent of human flesh in the air.

Thick saliva dripped from its sharp fangs onto the ground, corroding and producing puffs of white smoke.

"Watch out! It's a Netherworld Wolf!"

Jiang Qingxue's expression changed, and she immediately drew her broken sword, shielding Li Chen behind her.

"Young Master Li, let's go! Li Yue, provide support!"

Although Jiang Qingxue had just recovered from her injuries, her sword intent was still sharp.

The two women, like two nimble butterflies, instantly plunged into the wolf pack.

The sword flashed, and a chilling aura emanated from it.

Li Chen leaned comfortably against a large tree, watching the two women weave through the wolf pack as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

The seven or eight ferocious Netherworld Wolves had all been reduced to pieces of flesh and ice sculptures scattered on the ground.

"Done."

Jiang Liyue sheathed her short sword, slightly panting, with a fine layer of sweat beading on her fair forehead.

She was just about to turn around and show off her victory to Li Chen.

But they discovered that Li Chen had already pulled out a rusty dagger from somewhere.

He was squatting in front of the corpse of a demon wolf, skillfully slicing open its head.

"Clatter."

He dug out a black crystal core, no bigger than a thumb and radiating violent dark energy, his hands covered in blood.

"Young Master Li, why are you digging that up?"

Jiang Qingxue walked over, frowning, and said, "This is the crystal core of a demonic beast, filled with violent demonic energy and impurities."

"If a human cultivator forcibly absorbs it, at best his meridians will be severed, and at worst he will suffer a qi deviation, explode his body, and die."

"That applies to ordinary people."

Li Chen grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

Without hesitation, he grasped the blood-stained crystal core in his palm.

His eyes were slightly closed.

"Refine the Purple-Gold Divine Lightning!"
