CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 215: REALM GATE (THIRD UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Again, checking the water sources in other areas, there is Spirit-Extinguishing Powder in the water.

After taking the Spirit-Extinguishing Powder, the demon beasts won’t transform, nor will they gain intelligence, making it easier to consume them without psychological burden.

At this time, opening [Baidu Map], one can see the battles between demon beasts and humans.

Some demon beasts, after killing human cultivators and devouring their corpses, show less chaos in their eyes, their gaze becomes clear, as if their intelligence has increased, seemingly awakening their spirit intelligence.

"This is bad!"

Lu Xuanji’s heart skipped a beat, his unease increasing.

Originally, with Spirit-Extinguishing Powder in the water source, demon beasts could not awaken their spirit intelligence even after reaching the Divinity Transformation realm. If they devour human cultivators, even with Spirit-Extinguishing Powder suppression, they can still awaken their intelligence.

The beasts that awakened their spirit intelligence began capturing human cultivators and devouring them. The battle scenes became bloody once again.

The awakening demon beasts not only became smarter but also comprehended various divine secret techniques, their combat techniques became harmonious and smooth, their combat power doubled, and their efficiency in hunting human cultivators increased.

One, two, three, four...

The roles of hunter and prey were reversed.

Before the awakening of intelligence, human cultivators could easily and effortlessly kill demon beasts; but after the awakening, it became difficult for humans to kill demon beasts, often getting counterattacked.

The hunt continued.

On [Baidu Map], some Nascent Soul Demon Beasts awoke their intelligence, began commanding the surrounding demon beasts, hunting human cultivators on a massive, organized scale.

One by one, human cultivators began to be hunted.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Purple Mansion Cultivators, and even Golden Core Cultivators, were all found and then killed, devoured.

The scene was terrifying, bloody, almost beyond imagination.

Using [Baidu Map], Lu Xuanji avoided being hunted by demon beasts, dancing on the edge of a knife, moving cautiously in various search areas. Fortunately, those Nascent Soul Demon Beasts hadn’t awakened any detection secret techniques, or they had just awakened their intelligence and weren’t very smart, or perhaps Lu Xuanji was just lucky.

He evaded the demon beasts’ search again and again.

...

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Ten feet underground, there was a buried cave, in which Lu Xuanji opened his eyes and checked his phone.

On the phone, [Baidu Map] and the relevant statistics appeared.

About a hundred thousand human race cultivators entered, but now fewer than a hundred survived, the rest becoming food for demon beasts, tools for awakening demon beasts’ intelligence.

If it were at the peak of the Ancient Sword Sect, Nascent Soul Demon Beasts or Divinity Transformation Demon Beasts would be like roasted chicken on a table, but now the human cultivators who strayed in were being eaten.

Suddenly, Lu Xuanji saw that all the demon beasts seemed to be summoned, gathering towards a certain place.

In less than half a day, on this [Sword Island Fragment], thirty-two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts, a hundred Golden Core Demon Beasts, ten thousand Purple Mansion Demon Beasts, and a million Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts gathered together, using beast blood as material, carving array patterns on the ground, determining the array nodes.

About a day later, an Ancient Demon Array took shape, vaguely communicating with another world.

Bang!

Bang!

One after another, demon race spirit treasures were placed into the array, communicating with the grand array, suddenly causing the void to twist, a seven-colored light gate appearing in the void, flickering as though it might vanish at any moment.

One after another, the corpses of demon beasts were placed into the array, absorbed by it, turning to dust.

At the same time, the light gate above the array became brighter and brighter, as if about to become real.

But it was still not enough.

Thirty-two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts looked at each other and began slaughtering Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts and throwing Purple Mansion Demon Beasts into the array, turning them into sources of power for the array.

One after another, demon beast corpses were thrown into the array, thousands, tens of thousands, densely packed.

At this moment, the seven-colored light gate transformed from illusion into reality.

Buzzing!

The seven-colored light gate flickered brightly, seemingly leading to a brand new world.

"Finally, it’s open!"

"We can finally leave this [Fragment]."

"The Ancient Sword Sect kept us confined as food, and now we can finally escape!"

"Finally going back to the Main World!"

"I wonder, what is the situation in the Purple Mansion Realm? Is the demon race ruling over everything, keeping humans as livestock, or is the human race suppressing all, making the demon race tremble in fear!"

"It’s hateful, taking Spirit-Extinguishing Powder, muddled for hundreds of years, now awakened, finally able to leave. Unfortunately, the Ancient Sword Sect is already destroyed, and we don’t know where to take revenge!"

The Nascent Soul Demon Beasts present were all joyful, with excitement flashing in their eyes, tears streaming down their faces.

The world had limited them, if not for the incomplete laws of the [Fragment World], they would have long advanced to Divinity Transformation, or even higher.

With the sounds of joy, a Nascent Soul Demon Beast stepped forward first, entering the seven-colored light gate, but at that moment, a force of spatial tearing struck, shredding the Nascent Soul Demon Beast on the spot, turning it into a pulp.

"Impossible!"

"We’ve already set up a world gate, why can’t we still transport through!"

Some demon beasts were terrified.

A Nascent Soul Demon Beast grabbed a Golden Core Demon Beast and threw it into the gate.

As a result, the Golden Core Demon Beast’s body was torn apart, dying instantly.

"Impossible, how could it fail!"

"Did we make a mistake somewhere!"

The demon beasts present exclaimed in disbelief.

"Because you’re still missing something!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, an old man stood in the void, with silver hair and gray robes, appearing like an ordinary person, yet exuding a terrifying aura, seeming like the center of the world.

"You’re a human... no, you’ve transformed!!" a Nascent Soul Demon Beast said.

"You’re... a Divinity Transformation Great Demon!" another Nascent Soul Demon Beast exclaimed, looking horrified.

Here, there was a Divinity Transformation Great Demon lurking, if it weren’t for it revealing itself, the many demon beasts might not have noticed its presence.

"Back then, I was just a Wolf Demon with only Purple Mansion Cultivation, pitifully weak. A human cultivator strayed in here and was eaten by me. After devouring him, I became enlightened, awakened my intelligence, and began to rise, becoming a Divinity Transformation Demon Beast!"

The old man smiled, with a cruel expression: "There were once eight Divinity Transformation Demon Beasts here, but they’re all muddle-minded and suppressed by Spirit-Extinguishing Powder. After I advanced to Divinity Transformation, I devoured them all, turning them into my food. For the past two hundred years, I’ve deliberately exposed this [Sword Island Fragment] to attract human cultivators to explore this Secret Realm."

"Thus, one after another, human cultivators, thinking themselves extraordinary, came here to explore, and I killed them all!"

"Now that I’ve gathered a million human souls, it’s enough to open the world gate!"

As he spoke, a light orb appeared in his palm, containing a human soul, struggling and roaring, with a grim and terrifying expression.

He waved his hand to send these souls into the array.

The array emitted sizzling sounds as each human soul melted away.

The seven-colored light that originally shifted hues transformed into a dark gateway.
