Chapter 419: Chapter 419
"It’s a long story. Let’s find the Divine Son and the others first, and I’ll explain everything together."
Luo Zhitian looked at the people before him and summarized, "The Heavenly God Clan achieved the final victory. When the pillar of light containing Dao Yi’s blood was opened, it wasn’t Dao Yi’s blood that appeared, but a race claiming to be the True Demon Clan."
"The True Demon Clan not only possesses incredible strength, but they also see us as food. I reckon that Dao Yi’s fall was caused by that self-proclaimed Bodhi from the True Demon Clan."
Luo Wencheng swallowed nervously. "I must be dreaming. What is this True Demon Clan? There’s no such race in the Star Sea Realm, right?"
Xiu Wenfei responded, "I’ve read the ancient tomes of our clan, and I have no impression of this race. Divine Son, does the Heavenly Realm have this race?"
"No. If it did, I would definitely know of it." Chen Jiuge shook his head. "The main race of the Heavenly Realm is the Human Clan; other races are rare. If a race as peculiar-looking as the True Demon Clan truly existed, I would certainly know."
"I’m only concerned about whether this True Demon Clan is really as formidable as they claim!" Luo Kuisan said, a faint glimmer of excitement on his face.
"Old Kui, this is no time to stir up trouble. Dao Yi has fallen. You can’t possibly be stronger than Dao Yi, can you?" Luo Wencheng warned.
Luo Kuisan stiffened. Although he was confident in his own strength, he truly dared not claim to be stronger than Dao Yi.
"Understood, understood."
"Are you setting up an Array?" Luo Zhitian asked, looking at the faintly rising light curtain.
"Yes, we realized something was wrong earlier, so we decided to set up a covert Array to hide for a while."
"That’s a good idea. Coincidentally, I have some Array Plates from the loot. See if you can make use of them." Luo Zhitian waved his hand, and several piles of Array Plates appeared.
These are some...? Chen Jiuge thought, a flicker of doubt in his heart.
"I didn’t take the ones of poor quality; these are all from the spoils. Though there aren’t many, they should be somewhat effective," Luo Zhitian said modestly.
Hearing this, Chen Jiuge didn’t quite know how to respond, so he called over Wang Le to deal with this batch of Array Plates.
After learning the full story, Chen Jiuge dared not be careless. He immediately had his Immortals stand guard near the valley. They couldn’t be discovered by the True Demon Clan, at least not until the Array was complete.
Luo Zhitian said, somewhat embarrassedly, "Some of the people under my command are seriously injured and need to rest for a bit, but once their injuries improve a little, I’ll have them join the watch."
"You’re too kind. I wanted to ask, did the True Demon Clan really kill Dao Yi?" With only the two of them left, Chen Jiuge couldn’t help but seek confirmation.
"Just call me Zhitian. It’s true."
"Although there was no phenomenon accompanying his fall, all Immortals should be able to sense that sorrowful aura. Ming Huayu of the Netherworld King Clan probably sensed it, which is why he retreated immediately," Luo Zhitian sighed.
"Brother Zhitian, what do you think we should do next?" Chen Jiuge asked, somewhat at a loss.
A trace of melancholy crossed Luo Zhitian’s face before he said, "I’ve given it some thought. There are a few possible approaches."
"Brother Zhitian, please tell me."
"The best option is to leave this place. We can then go out, notify the other races of the Star Sea Realm, and unite against them. The True Demon Clan members that have appeared are not something we can handle alone. However, for the entire Star Sea Realm, exterminating the True Demon Clan shouldn’t be too difficult. Even that Bodhi couldn’t possibly defeat countless Dao Yis."
"Brother Zhitian, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. We can’t get out." Chen Jiuge took out the Zhen Clan’s Token and demonstrated it.
Luo Zhitian took the Token and tried it several times. Discovering that they indeed could not leave, he said with a grave expression, "Then we’re left with only one last option: to leave through the passage the True Demon Clan used to appear here."
What if the other side is the True Demon Clan’s stronghold? Chen Jiuge thought. The risk was too great.
"Bodhi said this place is just a fish tank, didn’t he? We really are just small fish in a tank. Divine Son, don’t you want to see the real world?"
"Moreover, if we truly can’t leave, then we will definitely not survive."
Looking at Luo Zhitian, who showed no despair on his face yet whose words were filled with hopelessness, Chen Jiuge was somewhat transfixed. Are they that strong? Get full chapters from NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Even the most ordinary True Demon Clan member is comparable to the elites of my Asura warriors, let alone members of other races."
Luo Zhitian’s arrival brought much bad news. However, it at least allowed Chen Jiuge and the others to understand the full situation and indirectly enhanced the team’s strength. All in all, it was somewhat of a good thing.
After his conversation with Luo Zhitian that day, Chen Jiuge felt very depressed and didn’t go out for several days. Mo Yu handled the various chores of managing the mountain valley.
Looking at Chen Ziteng playing beside him, a hint of unwillingness crossed Chen Jiuge’s face. Hunting grounds, food, fish tank... Is the Immortality I’ve painstakingly pursued just food to fill someone else’s stomach?
"Boss, this is the super bio-cannon Yue Meng and I built together!" Da Bai said, struggling to push a massive, ten-meter-tall cannon into the courtyard.
Yue Meng jumped down from the cannon platform and explained, "Master, although this cannon is only at the True Immortal Level, all its performance is focused on the projectile’s firing speed. Even a Golden Immortal might not be able to dodge its attack."
"Additionally, the cannon’s ammunition is the Yin Yang Immortal Pill, an Elixir I carefully developed. Anyone hit by this Elixir will immediately go into heat."
"No matter how strong someone is, unless they are a Cultivator on the path of absolute emotionlessness and asceticism, no race can be completely devoid of desire."
Chen Jiuge’s mouth hung slightly open. "You two built an Aphrodisiac launcher?"
"What Aphrodisiac? This is the Yin Yang Immortal Pill! And this is a cannon!" Yue Meng and Da Bai retorted simultaneously.
"I think it’s quite good," Luo Zhitian said as he walked in from outside.
"If these True Demon Clan members really can be influenced by desire, then it is indeed a good thing for us."
"You two little fellows, can you let me have your cannon and that Yin Yang Immortal Pill first?" Luo Zhitian said to the two beasts.
Yue Meng looked somewhat wary. "Master?"
"Brother Zhitian, are you planning to go and try it out yourself?" Chen Jiuge frowned.
"Yes. After all, I am the First War General. Although I can’t cut down the True Demon Clan like melons and vegetables, escaping unscathed is no problem for me. I’m the most suitable one to go."
"No ’buts.’ I am the most suitable. Besides, I also need to find some allies to bring back and strengthen the valley’s defenses," Luo Zhitian interrupted.
Luo Zhitian lay prone in a dense forest. The huge cannon, now only a meter tall, had already been blood-bound to him.
He loaded a small, pink Yin Yang Immortal Pill into the magazine, aimed the muzzle at the True Demon Clan members not far away, and fired.
The Yin Yang Immortal Pill landed precisely on a True Demon’s forehead, silently merging into it without alerting the True Demon at all.
Luo Zhitian praised silently, The stealth is incredible! If this works, it’s truly amazing stuff!
After several more shots, all five nearby True Demon Clan members had been hit. About ten breaths later, the situation on the field began to change.
The first True Demon hit suddenly pounced on a nearby clansman, one hand rapidly unfastening its pants, all eight of its eyes turning pink and filled with lust.
The True Demon who was pounced upon didn’t have time to push the attacker away before the Elixir in its own body began to take effect, its eyes also starting to show desire. The remaining three followed suit one by one.
An Aphrodisiac, after all, merely requires release. At worst, it might leave the body a bit weak but wouldn’t cause significant harm. Unfortunately for them, there were only five True Demon Clan members present.
Moreover, the True Demon Clan were inherently incarnations of desire, so Yue Meng and Da Bai had coincidentally struck their critical weakness.
Luo Zhitian watched the five True Demons fighting stark naked and rubbed his eyes. The scene was quite shocking.
As time passed, their desires intensified, and the fighting among the True Demons grew fiercer. When one True Demon died, the flowing blood seemed to further stimulate the remaining ones.
An hour later, Luo Zhitian stared in disbelief at the five True Demon Clan members, now nearly all dead or incapacitated. Although their Cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal level, they had been dealt with using just a few Elixirs. It was truly unbelievable.
The True Demon Clan... perhaps they aren’t much different from the Demon Clan, both being incarnations of desire. And their vigilance, or rather, their Divine Sense’s scanning ability, seems quite poor. They couldn’t even detect the Elixir’s attack. I should head back first and have those two little ones refine more of these. Then, we can have some Cultivators skilled in stealth launch surprise attacks on these True Demon Clan members, Luo Zhitian pondered, stroking his chin.
