Chapter 1353: Searching for the Demon Warrior Legion
Seeing Han Che and Lie Shan in such a state, everyone present once again secretly grew excited.
They couldn’t help but wish that the Divine Flame Family and the Heavenly Water Family would start a war right then and there.
Both the Divine Flame Family and the Heavenly Water Family were top-tier Demon King-level forces in the Moluo Realm.
If these two behemoths were to clash directly, it would leave a lot of room for other forces to maneuver.
However, just as the auras around the two grew increasingly fierce, and it seemed they were about to strike, the void not far away suddenly twisted once more.
Another legion emerged from within.
This immediately drew everyone’s attention once again.
It was a legion from the Heavenly Battle Demon Sect.
The members of this legion all looked panicked, and their auras seemed somewhat weakened.
Numerous Demon General Realm experts and half-step Demon Kings once again approached them, inquiring about the specifics.
From this legion, they learned even more information about the Demon Warrior Legion.
"So it seems the collapse of the trial grounds is indeed related to the Demon Warrior Legion.
They must have taken the core energy from the eight ancient cities at the heart of the trial grounds.
Although we don’t know how they managed to do it, this is undoubtedly unprecedented!"
"The core energy of eight ancient cities—what an enormous fortune that would be!"
"..."
As they muttered to themselves, their eyes lit up with greed.
Almost immediately, some half-step Demon King experts quietly left the scene.
No one knew where they were going.
Seeing this, Lie Shan’s expression suddenly turned serious.
"These guys... are probably trying to take advantage of the chaos to search for Huo Yang and the others.
If the Demon Warrior Legion wasn’t harmed during the collapse, even if these half-step Demon Kings find them, they won’t be able to do anything.
However, the temptation of all the core energy from the trial grounds is simply too great."
With this thought, Lie Shan also took a step forward and headed into the distance.
He spread his divine consciousness to its maximum range, trying to locate the Demon Warrior Legion.
All the half-step Demon Kings present basically wanted to be the first to find the Demon Warrior Legion and capture them.
If they succeeded, all the treasures and resources from the trial grounds would belong to them.
Moreover, if they acted quickly and covered their tracks well, the Divine Flame Family wouldn’t be able to find any evidence.
After all, the trial grounds had already been destroyed, and there were too many uncertainties.
At this point, Han Che also stopped entangling Lie Shan.
He, too, was excitedly searching everywhere, mobilizing all his forces.
Of course, none of them chose to venture directly into the void’s chaotic currents.
Everyone knew that the Demon Warrior Legion, with their half-step Demon King strength, wouldn’t be hindered by the void’s chaotic currents at all.
As everyone searched, the void within a radius of ten thousand miles around the trial grounds began to twist.
The legions from various forces that had been swept into the void’s chaotic currents began to emerge one after another.
For these legions, as long as their legion’s killing intent was condensed at the moment the trial grounds collapsed, or if they reacted quickly enough, the void’s chaotic currents wouldn’t be able to harm any Demon General Realm-level forces.
"Where is this?"
Su Jingzhen and the others emerged from the void’s chaotic currents, only to find themselves in a vast, dense forest.
The spiritual energy here was extremely rich.
But for Huo Yang and the others, this place was completely unfamiliar.
Even when they spread their divine consciousness, they couldn’t recognize where they were.
"Could this be the legendary Lost Forest?"
After observing for a while, Huo Yang spoke up, her expression somewhat tense.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen frowned.
"Is this some kind of terrifying place?"
Huo Yang nodded. "The Lost Forest is one of the major danger zones in the central region.
It’s said that even Demon General Realm cultivators would find it difficult to leave once they enter.
There are many strange and mysterious things here, and it’s even possible that Demon King-level beings exist."
As she spoke, Huo Yang’s expression grew increasingly grave.
Just as Huo Yang finished speaking, Su Jingzhen and the others noticed that the forest in front of them suddenly began to move.
The towering ancient trees seemed to be closing in on them, quickly forming a circle around them.
The trees blocked out the sky, as if forming a cage.
And from these giant trees, an extremely powerful and eerie aura began to emerge.
It was at the level of a Demon General Realm six-stage expert.
"Just as we were talking about it, danger has already appeared?"
Su Jingzhen and the others were momentarily stunned.
However, after sensing the aura of these trees, they didn’t seem too concerned.
The legion’s killing intent instantly condensed.
As soon as the half-step Demon King aura was revealed, the row of tree demons surrounding them began to tremble.
Then, they fled even faster into the depths of the Lost Forest.
But since they had come, Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a cold smile.
The killing intent dragon opened its mouth and spat out an energy ball, instantly striking one of the tree demons.
The tree demon’s body trembled.
A shrill scream echoed out.
Then, it turned into a wisp of smoke.
All that remained was a green energy orb filled with boundless vitality.
For a Demon General Realm six-stage existence, dealing with the Demon Warrior Legion was indeed as easy as taking candy from a baby!
"This is actually a Life Heart!
This tree demon has delivered us a fine treasure."
Seeing this green energy orb, You Yue and the others were visibly moved.
Su Jingzhen reached out, and the Life Heart landed in his hand.
Feeling the vitality within it, he felt as if he were bathed in the warmth of spring.
"Wife, this thing should be extremely beneficial for you.
Take it."
Su Jingzhen immediately handed it to You Yue.
If it were before the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had recovered to 90%, this Life Heart might have been quite helpful for Little Green.
But now, at only the Demon General Realm six-stage level, it wasn’t of much use.
Seeing You Yue hesitate, Su Jingzhen smiled and said, "The Demon Warrior Legion is growing stronger by the day. As the soul of the legion, your strength is starting to fall behind the legion’s progress.
So, you need to raise your strength to the Demon General Realm as quickly as possible.
This Life Heart is definitely a powerful aid for your cultivation.
Don’t refuse it. Besides, this is what you deserve."
"Alright."
Hearing this, You Yue no longer refused.
She reached out and touched the Life Heart.
It instantly transformed into a strand of pure energy, directly entering her body.
Immediately, You Yue’s aura, which had been at the Demon Sage Realm seven-stage, suddenly erupted.
In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, she smoothly advanced to the Demon Sage Realm eight-stage.
After fusing with the Life Heart, You Yue’s cold and elegant demeanor gained an additional touch of life’s freshness.
This made Su Jingzhen’s eyes gleam with desire.
