Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 951 - 925: On the Abyss

A group of five, led by Zhuang Qian, traversed a dense forest and then passed through a swamp before arriving at a location before Jia Valley. Upon entering the valley, they saw an abyss that was bottomless, leading into the depths of the canyon.

The abyss was filled with an eerie gloom that struck fear into one’s heart.

Tangyu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What a secluded place."

Zhuang Qian nodded, "Indeed, last time I unintentionally stumbled upon this place and discovered this abyss. After descending to the bottom, I found a large number of Earth Demons living below. It must be a small clan there. Let’s go down now; just follow me."

"Alright, let’s go down," Tangyu nodded.

Zhuang Qian led the way in front, followed closely by Tangyu and the other four, as they ventured down into the abyss.

Descending into the abyss, the chilling air was bone-piercing. After a full quarter of an hour, the five finally reached the bottom. This abyss, by its depth alone, was several thousand meters deep. It was truly a place that ordinary people couldn’t traverse.

Having reached the bottom, their view expanded.

"Let’s go over there, the Earth Demon Clan’s underground palace is all over there," Zhuang Qian pointed out a direction.

The four quietly followed and snuck over there, soon seeing a large open space. They witnessed some Earth Demons engaged in cultivation and sparring. The Earth Demons were blue-faced with fangs, each with a small horn on their heads. Dressed in black, they appeared dark themselves, making them resemble black shadows.

The Demon Clan favored darkness and revered all things dark. They loved wearing black clothes, always considering themselves the true rulers of darkness and believing everything dark belonged to them.

Tangyu surveyed the dozens of Earth Demons and said, "Many over there are still merely in the Fundamental Realm and haven’t reached the Mystic Law Realm."

Zhuang Qian nodded, "In terms of comprehension, the Demon Clan and Demon Monsters are inferior to the Human Clan, but they have some natural advantages, with inherited bloodlines. The ancestors of this Abyss Earth Demon Clan must have been formidable, so their bloodline inheritance is quite good. Generally, adult Earth Demons can reach the Mystic Law Realm. These should still be young, hence in the Fundamental Realm. Among them, Fundamental Realm Earth Demons are the minority, estimated to account for at most about 20%."

Tangyu then felt relieved, "There’s no point in killing Fundamental Realm Earth Demons, earning points quickly requires dealing with those in the Mystic Law Realm instead."

Zhuang Qian said, "Indeed, considering points, Fundamental Realm ones yield very few. We shouldn’t make a move here; let’s look elsewhere for better opportunities and act directly. Kill them, and destroy the corpses to avoid detection by the Earth Demon Clan. We must operate in the shadows; if discovered, we’d be in danger."

"Let’s go," Tangyu said.

The five departed silently, not drawing the attention of those Earth Demons.

Soon, the five snuck into the Earth Demon Clan’s underground palace, a vast structure. The inside was interconnected, and without familiarity, one could easily get lost. Getting lost would mean becoming stuck like fish in a barrel.

Fortunately, with Zhuang Qian leading the way, Tangyu’s group didn’t have to worry about this issue.

In a stone chamber, three Earth Demons were practicing cultivation, taking deep breaths. These three were adult Earth Demons, each at the strength of the First Layer of the Mystic Law Realm.

The Earth Demon Clan is naturally attuned to the Earth Path; in terms of cultivation in the Earth Path, they are as comfortable as fish in water. Upon reaching adulthood, they directly establish a Water Dao Foundation and breakthrough to the Mystic Law Realm. Beyond that, further strength only comes through individual effort.

The three brothers had always been diligent, eager to grow stronger and make a name for themselves.

"Big brother, within a year, we three brothers must reach the Second Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, and within three years, the Third Layer. Once at the Third Layer, we’ll have the qualifications and strength to venture out. We’ve always yearned for the world outside. I want to slaughter humans, show them our Demon Clan is the strongest, and control whatever land they try to hold," an Earth Demon spoke ambitiously.

"The Third Layer of the Mystic Law Realm—"

The other two Earth Demons’ eyes also burned with passion and longing; that realm seemed distant, yet they held great ambition.

"Humans are too cunning, numerous, and currently reign over the land; without enough power, we mustn’t venture out lightly. Humans are many, but if our Demon Clan were equally numerous, we would surely dominate the land. Our Demon Clan is heaven’s favored ones. Humans are just a despicable group of natives."

"Exactly, big brother’s right. Humans are fit only to be slaves to our Demon Clan."

"Humph, really? I see you don’t even qualify to be slaves to us humans," a cold voice suddenly echoed.

Hearing the voice, the three brothers were shocked, their eyes turning swiftly towards the door.

"Humans—it’s despicable humans! Kill them!" The three brothers instantly reacted.

But before their words finished, a ray of light sliced through; their faces showed terror but lacked any ability to resist. The sword light directly severed their necks, cutting off their heads. The three Demon Clan members didn’t even manage to utter a last scream before falling dead.

Extracting their Demon Hearts, Tangyu waved a hand and turned their bodies to ashes.

Although this approach is not entirely decisive, it should be difficult to discover in a short time. Tangyu and his team originally didn’t have much time and wouldn’t stay here for long. Besides, Tangyu and his team actually weren’t afraid of a fight. They were just temporarily focusing on stealth attacks to weaken the Earth Demon Clan’s strength before launching a full-scale assault to ensure total success.

Demon Hearts are similar to Demon Cores, belonging exclusively to the Demon Clan, which distinguishes them from humans.

For humans, only upon reaching the Golden Core Realm can they form a Golden Core.

The Golden Core is still a distant achievement for Tangyu and his team.

In the Cultivation World, the Golden Core Realm signifies absolute strength and allows one to traverse throughout the Cultivation World.

Tangyu first set aside the three Demon Hearts; it had been agreed earlier that all gained Demon Hearts would be distributed proportionally. Tangyu and Zhuang Qian would take half, while Yu Feng, Zi Cang, and Luo Xiaobing would each take twenty percent, twenty percent, and ten percent, respectively.

Yu Feng and the others benefited somewhat from this distribution ratio, but Tangyu and Zhuang Qian both acknowledged it.

After easily slaying the three Earth Demons, the five continued their search. Many Earth Demons were either practicing Cultivation alone or in small groups, which made it very easy to succeed in stealth attacks.

Along the way, they managed to kill over a hundred Earth Demons without breaking a sweat.

Most of those they killed were of Mystic Law Realm First Layer, whose strength was truly insignificant before Tangyu and his team, leading to instant kills.

Some were even of the Fundamental Realm, which was even weaker.

Slit—

Yu Feng sliced an Earth Demon with one sword and swiftly collected the Demon Heart, destroying the corpse.

But at this moment, a figure dashed towards them and shouted upon seeing Tangyu and his team: "Bold humans, daring to invade my Earth Demon Clan and massacre us so freely, it’s sheer suicide!" freёweɓnovel_com

"Not good, we’ve been discovered!"

Tangyu and Zhuang Qian’s expressions slightly changed, and they simultaneously attacked, directly charging at the Earth Demon. This Earth Demon had some skill; he was of Mystic Law Realm Second Layer, and facing Tangyu and Zhuang Qian’s strike, he shouted again, emitting a loud call, clearly signaling the Earth Demon Clan.

"Kill!"

Both Tangyu and Zhuang Qian shouted lowly, their swords gleaming as they aimed directly at the Earth Demon’s vital points.

The Earth Demon looked grim, his face sinister, and shouted: "How dare you humans rashly intrude into my Earth Demon Palace? I think you’re courting death." As he spoke, he came forward with chilling intent, wielding a strangely shaped broadsword that slashed down fiercely.

Clang clang!!

Unfortunately, his strength was still somewhat lacking, and both Tangyu and Zhuang Qian were intent on killing, making their moves decisive and unfaltering.

Slit!!

Their swords simultaneously pierced the vital points of the Earth Demon, instantly killing him. His broadsword remained rigid in midair, his eyes harboring a sinister glint with a trace of fear.

Clearly, he didn’t expect to be instantly killed in one round.

Despite being a Mystic Law Realm Second Layer Earth Demon, he was slain just like that.

After killing the Earth Demon, swiftly collecting the Demon Heart, Tangyu said, "We’ve been exposed; we shouldn’t stay here any longer. Quickly leave this place. I believe the Demon Clan’s army will soon assemble to launch a carpet search against us."

Zhuang Qian grinned, biting his teeth: "I thought we could stealthily eliminate half of the Earth Demons before a full-blown battle erupted, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. There’s no retreat now, we have no choice but to carve a bloody path."

"Fight!" Yu Feng and Zi Cang also looked high-spirited in battle intents, and they could only fight on.

The five quickly departed, and shortly thereafter, several large teams of Earth Demons gathered from various passages. Heading them were several slightly older Earth Demons, all at Mystic Law Realm Second Layer.

Those Earth Demons, upon seeing the dead man on the ground, were all filled with grief and thick killing intent.

An Earth Demon of Mystic Law Realm Second Layer inspected, then said: "Such powerful swordsmanship, killed with just two slashes without any chance of resistance. The humans who infiltrated our Earth Demon Palace this time must be experts, and there must be more than one. Quickly notify the Clan Leader to issue the clan assembly order. These humans should still be in the Earth Demon Palace, and once we trap them inside, they’ll be like fish in a barrel, at our mercy."

"Alright, I’ll go notify the Clan Leader and issue the assembly order." An Earth Demon quickly nodded and went off.
