Chapter 1813: Chapter 1670: The Demon Spirit Nest Under Sky City
"Open the barrier," Chu Mu said to the Dragon Girl beside him.
"How is that possible! If they have ill intent towards the Heavenly Palace..." the Dragon Girl said.
"Did you forget what the Human Mother told you?" Chu Mu replied.
The Dragon Girl gritted her teeth, walked to the edge of the Roulette Platform, and began chanting a spell.
Releasing the barrier was a tedious process. It took the Dragon Girl a long time to finally completely remove it.
After removing the barrier, the Dragon Girl still vigilantly stared at Emperor Huangquan and the Netherworld Fox God.
However, the Netherworld Fox God and Emperor Huangquan ignored the Dragon Girl, their gaze instead fixed on another Xing Tai.
The Heavenly Palace continued to tremble and shake violently. It was clear that the anger of the Nine Nether Demon Head had reached its peak.
The Nine Nether Demon Head was already exceptionally irritable, and with the equally difficult-to-deal Underworld Ghost Master nearby, once they broke free from their constraints, they would definitely immediately launch an attack on the Heavenly Palace.
The other three Undying-level strong ones must have also been provoked. It wouldn’t be long before Unreal-level strong ones attacked the Heavenly Palace.
"Forget about those two lunatics. Let’s do what we need to do," the Netherworld Fox God said coldly.
Chu Mu nodded and said, "We need to go to the Sky Demon’s lair to confirm something."
"Oh, that big demon, I also want to meet it," Emperor Huangquan said with an interested look.
The Dragon Girl’s expression changed slightly. Only she knew how frightful the strength of the Ancestral Sky Demon was, and even if several Undying-level strong ones joined forces, they might not be able to deal with it.
Moreover, the Sky Demon’s nest was filled with countless demon spirits and monsters, breaking in was practically seeking death.
The Heavenly Palace had attempted numerous times in the past, but all ended in total annihilation.
...
Beneath the Roulette Platform, Wang River in white armor coldly watched as Chu Mu and the other Undying-level strong ones left.
At this moment, a man whose body was tightly wrapped walked over, glanced at Wang River, and said, "What’s going on?"
"They escaped!" Wang River said with his head down.
"Which direction?" the man asked.
"Seems like..." Wang River pointed out of the city.
The man pondered for a moment, then sneered coldly, "Being this rebellious isn’t good. If they’re unwilling to obey, then deal with them."
After saying that, the man glanced at Wang River again and said, "Continue to provoke the other Undying-level ones, I don’t need to teach you how to do that, do I?"
"No... no need," Wang River answered hastily.
...
The Sky Demon’s nest was within this pan-shaped land. They did not like light or heat, and only eerie caverns were their favorite.
Chu Mu remembered clearly that beneath the Endless Abyss was indeed a lair of monsters, covered with various plants and crawling with unknown creatures.
Chu Mu led three Undying-level strong ones flying towards this abyss.
With towering cliff stone walls and endless darkness, at the bottom of the darkness, unknown things were always wriggling.
A chill emanated from the abyss, hitting their bodies, filling the air with the scent of death and decay.
Chu Mu led the descent from the cliff’s edge, a red flame beam falling straight down, deeper and deeper.
Emperor Huangquan followed closely behind Chu Mu, his body gigantic, exuding an imposing aura.
The Netherworld Fox God still stood atop Emperor Huangquan’s back, using this sea race emperor as his mount with an air of entitlement.
The Dragon Girl was at the end. The scent she smelled made her tremble, because every time she battled in the Sky Demon’s nest, she could smell this stench, the scent of her companions’ blood mixed with the monsters’ body fluids. Scenes of her slain companions at the hands of the Sky Demon would continually flash through her mind.
...
The cliff was extremely high, almost like a black hole to another world.
When Chu Mu landed, the flames on his body couldn’t illuminate the surroundings clearly because the air here was filled with darkness and poison.
Chu Mu slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
Back when Yu Suo jumped here, there were only the Good and Evil Clan and her flower demons.
But now, all the surrounding vines had decayed; everywhere you could see the vomit and excrements of the Sky Demons, a stench that was suffocating.
Looking towards the cliff stone wall, Chu Mu noticed many massive caverns within the stone walls.
Foul odors and chills seeped from the caverns, surely where the Sky Demons who feast on humans lurked, hesitating to come out due to the Red Fire Day hanging overhead.
"How could it be like this..." the Dragon Girl said in awe.
"How else did you think Yu Qie ended up surrounded by Sky Demons?" Chu Mu replied.
Behind the Heavenly Palace was a patch of black soil, beyond the black soil was this abyss.
Countless Sky Demons surged from here back then, surrounding Yu Qie and Yu Suo’s retreat, with the Ancestral Sky Demon even appearing, dealing a heavy blow to the once Totem goddess Yu Qie.
Although no more Sky Demons appeared on this land thereafter, it was obvious that the Sky Demon must have found some way to connect its nest with the road to this cliff.
The black soil and rocks of the Heavenly Palace had always been like outer space meteorites, exceptionally solid, and it’s impossible to penetrate under normal circumstances. So when the Dragon Princess saw so many routes directly leading underground from the abyss, she looked astonished.
"Where do these lead?" Emperor Huangquan asked.
"They should lead to the old nest of the Sky Demon... Of course, there will be a place along the way." Chu Mu said.
Stepping into the cavern beneath the abyss, the cavern’s extension direction was precisely the direction from which they had come.
Following the cavern all the way forward, the Dragon Princess found that these caverns had few turns, seemingly heading straight in one direction.
The further she went, the more startled the Dragon Princess became because she had already realized that going further should be right under Sky City!
"Hissssssssssss~~~"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the dark cavern ahead, like something was rapidly flicking its tongue.
The Dragon Princess was all too familiar with this sound; it was the sound Sky Demons made when licking blood after a full meal!!
These sounds overlapped noisily, growing increasingly clear, indicating that a large number of Sky Demons had gathered in the cavern ahead!
But...
But a little further ahead, above us is Sky City!!!
The Dragon Princess never would have imagined that beneath Sky City and the Heavenly Palace, so many blood-licking demons would gather, and they might very well be snatching the people of Sky City as we speak!
Continuing forward, a massive cavern nest appeared ahead.
Foul odors filled the air, making it sticky, and pairs of eyes twinkled like stars in the pitch-black cavern.
Chu Mu raised a crimson flame in his hand, tossing it casually toward the center of the vast cavern!
"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~"
The fire flared, exposing countless terrifying faces as darkness was pierced!
Ugly blue-green faces, exposed fierce fangs, bumpy fleshy wings, and sharp claws filled the places illuminated by the flame!!
The light only illuminated a small area, hinting at what must be infesting the larger dark cavern beyond!!
All the Sky Demons’ starlike cold eyes focused on Chu Mu at once, sticking out their tongues, their saliva tapping down like rain.
The Dragon Princess behind Chu Mu gasped, her face instantly pale!
In this cavern, the number of Sky Demons was at least 30,000 strong!!
And this was beneath Sky City, meaning that if they broke through the rock and soil, these over 30,000 man-eating monsters would appear directly in Sky City!!
"Turns out the vermin have already filled the intestines; the outwardly splendid Heavenly Palace is truly critically ill." The Netherworld Fox God said slowly.
Emperor Huangquan nodded.
Underneath one’s own city lay a nest of natural enemies; what could be more terrifying?
If it were not seen with her own eyes, how could the Dragon Princess believe this frightening truth?
What were those patrol watchers doing, why didn’t they discover these Sky Demons gathering here?
What were the Imperial Guards doing, why did the number of Sky Demons grow so large?
What were the decision-makers doing, why did they allow the Sky Demons to proliferate to such a frightening scale?
At first, the Dragon Princess couldn’t believe the Heavenly Palace had truly stepped toward destruction, given the many strong ones it possessed.
However, after witnessing such an overwhelming scene, she could not help but believe.
Only the negligence of the Heavenly Palace’s patrol watchers might have allowed such things to happen; only the decision-makers turning a blind eye and continuously compromising might have enabled the Sky Demons to reproduce to such an alarming degree.
It was their annual tributes that fed so many Sky Demons!
It was laughable that they even forced Yu Suo and Yu Qie, the two totem goddesses trying to change all this, to death...
Can such a Heavenly Palace truly be saved?
At this moment, even the Dragon Princess began to wonder whether the Heavenly Palace she saw was still the one of the past, whether those decision-makers wearing human skin were still human, whether beneath that skin lay the greedy face of a Sky Demon!!
"Do they seem to want to block us?" Emperor Huangquan slowly stepped into the cavern.
Faced with such an enormous number of Sky Demons, this undead legend showed not a trace of fear.
"Don’t waste too much time here; we need to get further in." Chu Mu said seriously.
"Leave these things to me; it’s been a long time since I’ve stretched my limbs." Emperor Huangquan said.
As he spoke, Emperor Huangquan’s form expanded again, flying at the forefront, surrounded by raging water dragons.
Where these water dragons passed, the Sky Demons were all slapped away and smashed into meat paste against the hard stone walls!
