Chapter 345: Infant

Li Peiyun ignored the stone bridge left by the Earth God and sprinted a short distance. He instantly displayed an explosive force and stepped a deep pit on the ground.

 He flew out 50 or 60 meters straight across the sky but ran out of power. Summoning his qi, he generated power and smoothly crashed into the mountain wall.

 The air was filled with the stench of blood, and he looked around, seeing the tall stone gate and the occasional scattered cultivators walking around at the edge of the stone gate.

 A cloud of fog poured out from the stone door, and he felt as if he was on a stage with a foggy effect caused by dry ice.

 “The door to the Great Deities Palace is open?” He was shocked for a few seconds by the majestic stone gate, and then he wondered.

 Li Peiyun also entered the Great Deities Palace for the first time and was deeply confused by the open stone gates. According to his thinking, all the other forces should have entered the Great Deities Palace and the doors would have closed.

 If the stone door is open, doesn’t that mean that his keys are useless…? What if the foreigners want me to return the money? Well, it’s impossible to return money, not in this life.

 A gust of wind blew behind him and the foreign forces gathered around him. All of them were amazed at the sight and marvelled at the huge stone gate.

 “Is the Great Deities Palace already open?” someone of the Anderson family from Russia said in surprise.

 The foreign families immediately looked at Li Peiyun. If the Great Deities Palace’s door was open, then his keys would be useless.

 Refund!

 “No, this isn’t the Great Deities Palace.” Aoki Takuya walked to the blood sacrificial pool at the edge of the Stone Gate and said, “This gate is the first barrier of the Great Deities Palace, and it can be opened only by blood sacrifice. Of course, only with the blood of demon descendants and not of ordinary people. What is behind the stone gate is still not the Great Deities Palace. We are only deemed to have entered the Great Deities Palace when we encounter a door that requires a key to open.”

 Hearing this, Li Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

 The families nodded slightly. The Aoki family of Japan was probably the force which knew the most about the Great Deities Palace, as they were half a step away from the palace during World War II.

 Led by the Emperor, the Great Demons’ Alliance was the first to enter the stone gate.

 The people of foreign descent were unwilling to show their weakness and followed. In Li Peiyun’s team, other than the local Great Demons’ Alliance and the mysterious young Thai woman who came here alone, the remaining demon descendants actually had private alliances: the Soul Destroying Alliance.

 Thus, the team was divided into four factions, the Great Demons’ Alliance, the Soul Destroying Alliance, the Thai woman, Li Peiyun, and God of War.

 When the Anderson family of Russia passed through the stone gate, something suddenly happened. One of the members was hit by a sudden flare from the top of his head and burned into a scorched skeleton as he screamed in agony.

 The change caught the crowd by surprise, with those who had entered the stone gate looking back in astonishment, while those who were still outside the stone gate stopped in horror.

 “What’s going on?” some from the Green family of the U.S. asked.

 The Anderson family members looked at each other and were filled with fear and anger. Inexplicably, the family had lost an expert.

 Subconsciously, everyone looked at Aoki Takuya, and the famous Japanese ninja shook his head. “I don’t know.”

 The Emperor of the Great Demons’ Alliance turned to see the scene, and scoffed softly. She then proceeded straight.

 Protector Eagle sashayed and caught up with his own Emperor, as her fair face couldn’t hide her curiosity. “Emperor, do you know what’s going on?”

 “Only demon descendants can enter the Great Deities Palace, the ancient demon genes are a symbol of identity.” The Emperor replied nonchalantly.

 Protector Eagle was dumbfounded, pondered carefully, and said earnestly, “I don’t understand.”

 Hu Yan behind her sighed. “Eagle-chan, you are human. Human brains are better than that of foreign species. You don’t even understand something so simple?”

 Protector Eagle glared. “Can’t I be stupid, you annoying squinty eyes?”

 “My name is Hu Yan and I don’t like the name squinty eyes.”

 “Squinty eyes squinty eyes…”

 “I can’t be bothered with you.” Hu Yan huffed. “Simply put, that person is not a demon descendant.”

 “Not a demon descendant?!” The rest of the protectors were surprised.

 That guy was not weak and was even rather skilled, how could he not be a demon descendant?

 “There are people who are very skilled by their qi cultivation. There are very few of them, but they have always existed. Each and every one of them was a talent, and it’s a shame that he died.” Hu Yan remarked in pity.

 At the stone gate, several demon descendant families were discussing the matter, and the leader of the Anderson family frowned. “The only difference between him and us is that he didn’t awaken the ancient demon genes and was just a normal human being.”

 “Are you sure?” Everyone was in disbelief.

 “Mmhmm, he’s a qi cultivation prodigy and managed to figure the art of qi before he had become of age. The elders of his family have put in effort to nurture him and he has gained some achievements by cultivating qi. However, it’s too hard to break through S-class on the basis of his qi cultivation alone, so he came to the Great Deities Palace to try his luck.” The leader of the Anderson family said.

 My goodness… If the scattered cultivators without a foundation heard this, they’ll never believe it. However, everyone was from big families, and even if they have never seen such cases, they have heard of it before.

 This was the difference between the rich with background and local dogs without a background.

 The others entered the stone gate and quickly put the little episode at the back of their mind.

 Behind the stone gate was a vast black river, with a calm surface and an avenue that floated on the river, leading to the end of the thick fog.

 There were corpses strewn everywhere on the avenue and 300 or 400 demon descendants on the banks. There were also scattered cultivators, monks from the Buddhist society and people from the demon descendant families.

 These people have failed to pass the challenge as they were not strong enough. After trying, they knew that they could not reach the end and had to withdraw.

 However, they were not willing to quit. After all, if they missed this opportunity, no one knows when the Great Deities Palace will open again. Thus, they stayed here and refused to leave.

 No matter how good their strategy and tactics were, they had to have the strength to execute them. Five noobs teaming up were still a team of noobs. To be fair, they were considered some of the better ones, people who were even weaker had all died.

 When they saw the Great Demons’ Alliance arrive, they immediately started to appraise them. If the other party was strong enough, they would ask for an alliance.

 If they were to encounter powerful experts, they could be carried into the Great Deities Palace without doing anything.

 The scattered cultivators were quickly disappointed. The Great Demons’ Alliance was not well known as they had low exposure and few knew them.

 However, there was a good saying that when God closes the door, he will leave a window open.

 Next moment, the window had arrived!

 “Li Peiyun, it’s Li Peiyun…”

 “Hahaha, that’s great. I was just saying why haven’t we seen Li Peiyun. So he’s hiding at the back.”

 “Li Peiyun is here, and God of War is here. So these guys are… the Great Demons’ Alliance?!”

 “Look behind him. It’s the Aoki family.”

 “Haha, I thought all hope was lost, but it seems that there’s hope now.”

 The sudden emergence of a large number of masters caused the demon descendants to become ecstatic, as if a glimmer of hope had shone in the face of desperate adversity.

 They stayed there to try their luck, and the demon descendants who had succeeded in breaking through were mostly people from several coastal provinces. Many demon descendants were unable to arrive earlier because of the distance.

 Their judgment proved to be correct. With a new crop of powerful experts arriving, they could reach the end of the avenue successfully if they teamed up with them.

 At this point, even the Great Demons’ Alliance, which Baoze called a cult, seemed really cute. As long as they could bring them along to pass this challenge, they had no problem calling them daddy.

 “There’s danger in the river, and a murderous entity is lurking, but I know how to get through it. If you take me along, I’ll share the information with you.”

 “His intelligence is fake. I have real intelligence here. Big bosses, team up with me.”

 “I’m stronger. Form an alliance with me.”

 “I’m a member of the Shen family. If you bring me into the Great Deities Palace, and I will convince my clan master to form an alliance with you.”

 The crowds were pouring in, as enthusiastic as fans greeting their idols at airports.

 Roar!

 Protector Monkey growled, as the soundwaves spread. The impact caused the crowd’s vision to turn black as they stumbled. Those with a low level of cultivation, spat out blood and sat on the ground.

 As the scattered cultivators recuperated and calmed their restless blood, the Great Demons’ Alliance set foot on the avenue, leaving them with vague silhouettes that soon disappeared in the fog.

 “Pfftt, a bunch of scum, sooner or later they’ll be killed by Baoze.”

 “What is so remarkable about them? They are just an evil cult, isn’t entering the Great Deities Palace akin to courting death?”

 “I will definitely take revenge. I will wait for Baoze to destroy you like what they did with the Ancient Gods Clan.”

 The scattered cultivators were enraged and cursed, and then they rushed to Li Peiyun and the others.

 Li Peiyun was an extremely arrogant man, so how could he care for this group of random people? He slashed at them and said coldly, “Scram,” as everyone was in a chaotic state.

 He and the remaining members of the Ancient Gods Clan then disappeared into the fog.

 Then, there were the foreign forces. The noobs on the coast don’t know them, and after the two previous humiliations, this time they didn’t approach shamelessly. They decided to observe first before acting.

 The Thai woman who was holding her baby in her arms, smiled and glanced at the three or four hundred people, licking her lips, “These people are annoying but delicious.”

 “Wah wah!” The swaddled baby cried as if responding to her words.

 The Soul Destroying Alliance’s members glanced at the baby. In the hours since they had met, the baby has never cried and didn’t even make a sound. They even thought it was a dead child.

 Desire flashed in the Thai woman’s gaze. “Y’all are okay if I eat these people?”

 The demon descendants from Europe and the U.S. looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

 It was not like they were demon descendants from their country. Of course they were okay.

 The woman reached out to the baby in her arms, with a loving expression and said in Thai, “Baby, you must be hungry. Mama will let you eat now.”

 “Wah~” The baby cried resoundingly.

 The sudden cry made everyone in the room frightened by the inexplicable thrillingly cold aura that enveloped the whole scene.

 There were many S-class members in the Soul Destroying Alliance and they had naturally opened their spiritual eyes. At this moment, their spiritual eyes were triggered as tears rolled down their faces.

 The scene was absolutely terrifying. The baby, which was clearly a baby in infancy, was emitting a dark, ferocious energy that gathered into malicious vengeful spirits, lunging towards the demon descendants present.

 One, two… The Chinese demon descendants fell one after another, and the vengeful spirits dragged their souls out of their flesh and ate them viciously.

 Nearly 400 Chinese demon descendants died in almost five seconds, without a single survivor.

 They had no scars on their bodies, and before they died, their bodies were intact, but their souls were gone.

 The enraged vengeful spirits danced recklessly in the middle of the air, as they tried to attack the demon descendants of the Soul Destroying Alliance.

 As soon as they approached, they were burned by protective qi, and green smoke rose. Thus, they were afraid to attack again.

 The demon descendants of the major European and American families were terrified, watching the baby in the lady’s arms with vigilance.

 This was no infant, it was clearly a lurking beast.
