Chapter 1354: Demon Kings Take Action
"With the boost from this Life Heart, your cultivation should improve to the greatest extent possible," Su Jingzhen said excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, golden text appeared before him.

Another triple strike of emotional connection points arrived.
At this moment, You Yue was also extremely excited.
She had always been strong-willed.
Throughout her life, she had wanted to protect her Purgatory Demon Sect and her husband.
But recently, the roles had completely reversed.
Su Jingzhen had been protecting her all this time, which made her feel both uncomfortable and heartbroken.
"Today, let’s properly explore this Lost Forest, one of the central region’s danger zones, and see just how dangerous it really is," Su Jingzhen said, his gaze shifting deeper into the forest.
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
They had just arrived here and were already gifted a Life Heart of such high quality. Based on his divine consciousness scan, the life energy within the Lost Forest was still incredibly dense.
In their view, there should be more Life Hearts of similar or even higher quality hidden within.
"Brother Jingzhen, are we really going to explore directly? Although that tree demon we encountered earlier was only at the Demon General Realm six-stage, there are indeed Demon King-level beings here," Huo Yang cautioned.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled faintly. "It’s fine. Even if we encounter a Demon King, I’m confident we can retreat safely."
At this point, he was capable of summoning the power of two genuine Demon Kings at any time.
While he couldn’t claim to sweep through the Lost Forest completely, he was confident in his ability to protect the Demon Warrior Legion.
Hearing his words, the members of the Demon Warrior Legion grew even more fervent.
Without hesitation, they began to slowly explore in the direction where the tree demon had fled.
Now that they were out of the void’s chaotic currents and the trial grounds, they weren’t in a hurry to return.
"The trial grounds have collapsed, and the legions of various forces have emerged. Our actions must be the hottest topic in the entire Moluo Realm right now.
It’s likely that all the forces are searching for us, trying to seize the core energy we obtained from the trial grounds.
Let them search. No one would dare to venture into the Lost Forest to look for us,"
Su Jingzhen said with a smile as they explored.
They could easily imagine the chaos unfolding among the various forces outside.
For Su Jingzhen and his group, landing in the Lost Forest was a fortunate coincidence. Staying hidden here until the commotion died down was the best course of action.
Huo Yang chimed in with a smile, "Unless the Heavenly Water Family dares to directly wage war against the Divine Flame Family, no matter how much they stir, it’s all for nothing."
While they were exploring the Lost Forest, the Divine Flame Family, Heavenly Water Family, Nine Dragons Demon Sect, Heavenly Battle Demon Sect, and other top Demon King-level forces, as well as half-step Demon King-level forces, had all mobilized.
Even the Demon Kings from these forces had quietly made their appearances.
Their goal was singular: to locate the Demon Warrior Legion.
The search radius had expanded from the original ten-thousand-mile radius around the trial grounds to the entire central region.
As time passed, the search gradually spread across the entire Moluo Realm.
Many experts even tore through the void from the trial grounds’ location, venturing into the void’s chaotic currents to search.
The core energy from the trial grounds was a treasure too immense to ignore.
No Demon King could remain calm in the face of such wealth.
Meanwhile, within the Divine Flame Family, the Fire Pupil Demon King had emerged from seclusion.
Lie Shan stood respectfully by his side.
"Demon King, this is the current situation.
It’s been a day, and there’s still no news of the Demon Warrior Legion.
Could they have already been encountered by the Demon Kings of other forces?
Or perhaps they never emerged from the void’s chaotic currents?"
As he spoke, Lie Shan’s expression grew increasingly worried.
The Fire Pupil Demon King, however, shook his head lightly.
"The Demon Warrior Legion couldn’t have stayed in the void’s chaotic currents for long.
It’s possible they’ve been encountered by the Demon Kings of other forces.
But the likelihood of them being completely wiped out without any news leaking is not particularly high.
At this point, the only places left unsearched are the central region’s danger zones, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, the Fire Pupil Demon King offered his analysis.
Hearing this, Lie Shan’s eyes lit up.
But then his expression grew even more serious. "The Lost Forest, the Dead Silent Sea, the Skeleton Mountain Range, and the Yin Wind Demon Cave—these danger zones are places few dare to enter.
But if the Demon Warrior Legion has truly entered these areas, they might be in grave danger.
After all, the strength they can unleash is only at the half-step Demon King level."
The Fire Pupil Demon King nodded again. "That’s precisely why I’ve emerged from seclusion.
I suspect that the old monsters from the Heavenly Water Family, Heavenly Battle Demon Sect, and other forces are also preparing to venture into these danger zones.
After all, no one in countless ages has ever managed to bring out the complete core energy from the central trial grounds.
This matter is too significant for them to ignore.
Come with me.
The younger generation of the Divine Flame Family has performed exceptionally this time. We can’t let those old monsters bully them."
"Demon King, which danger zone should we start with?" Lie Shan asked, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
The Fire Pupil Demon King was one of the Ten Great Demon Kings.
His strength was beyond question.
With him leading the way, they could traverse these so-called danger zones of the central region as if they were flat ground.
"Let’s start with the Skeleton Mountain Range, the closest to our Divine Flame Family," the Fire Pupil Demon King said.
With a wave of his sleeve, he enveloped Lie Shan, and the two of them departed from the Divine Flame Family.
Around the same time, the Heavenly Water Family, Nine Dragons Demon Sect, Heavenly Battle Demon Sect, Barbarian God Demon Sect, and other top Demon King-level forces also sent out their experts.
They headed toward the various danger zones of the central region.
What the Divine Flame Family had realized, these forces had also figured out.
Meanwhile, deep within the Lost Forest.
Su Jingzhen and his group had ventured far into its depths.
Here, all was silent.
The dense forest around them stretched thousands of feet high.
Apart from the faint chirping of insects and birds, there wasn’t a single trace of any higher-level demon beasts.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen and the others didn’t relax. Instead, they grew even more alert.
This situation indicated that there was likely an extremely powerful demon beast dominating this area.
This was its territory, and other demon beasts dared not approach.
"Wife, retract the aura of the Killing Intent Dragon.
The half-step Demon King aura is too intimidating. The hidden beings might not dare to reveal themselves," Su Jingzhen said.
As soon as he spoke, the Killing Intent Dragon’s form became illusory.
The half-step Demon King aura vanished completely.
They continued forward cautiously.
In this state, after about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Su Jingzhen and the others suddenly felt the surroundings grow darker.
The sky above them seemed to be covered by a black curtain.
