"This is.. information that is infinitely close to ' Heavenly Dao Realm '?"
Deep within the Immortal Court, in a secret chamber where the celestial energy was so dense it was almost tangible, a head hovering in the air, being nourished and cleansed by the celestial energy, suddenly opened its eyes, its expression one of utter horror.
"How is this possible? How long have we been in seclusion? How could such an Existence have appeared in the world?"
Just as the head was filled with dread, an extremely old voice sounded softly from the side: "Our seclusion here has not exceeded a thousand years, and has not exceeded our original estimated seclusion period!"
"What? It hasn't even been a thousand years? Then why is there such news about The Existence appearing in the outside world?"
The head hovering in the air was even more overwhelmed upon hearing the aged voice's reply.
"Even the most prodigy of the Existence couldn't possibly cultivate to such a Realm in a mere thousand years. Moreover, we have already extracted 60% of the Spiritual Qi of the Lower Realm and placed it in the Immortal Court. Logically speaking, let alone the Existence that is so close to the Heavenly Dao Realm, no creature should be able to touch the threshold of the Desolate Realm in such a short time!"
"That's what I can't understand!" An old woman's voice came from the secret chamber. "Judging from their aura, their race should only have a slight resemblance to the Dragon Clan." It's just Bloodline's Demon Snake —even the real Dragon couldn't possibly achieve such realism at this time, let alone something that's only tainted by the Dragon Clan. Bloodline's mere Demon Snake? How on earth did he cultivate such a Realm within a thousand years?
The old woman didn't know Dao, nor did she understand the Dragon Clan she sensed from Demon Snake. Bloodline The Qi aura was merely some Dragon Form Qi that Demon Snake had picked up after consuming a portion of the Dragon Form Qi from the Dragon Vein. As for the snake itself, it was just an ordinary Demon Snake!
"Over the years, you have been in seclusion recovering from your injuries and have rarely had contact with the outside world. Therefore, you don't know much about what's happening outside!"
Just then, a slightly cynical voice slowly echoed in the secret room.
"You all know me. I can't stand being alone, so I often sneak out to show off in front of people. Coincidentally, I revived myself a while ago, so I know a little about the origin of this Demon Snake!
No sooner had the man finished speaking than the old woman who had spoken earlier eagerly asked, "Then tell me quickly, what is the origin of that Demon Snake?"
"That Demon Snake … came from Demon Abyss!" This time, Dao's voice was no longer cynical, but unusually serious.
" Demon Abyss?"
The old woman couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.
"Has the Demon Abyss, which disappeared from the world's sight a thousand years ago, finally reappeared? So... the familiar aura I sensed during my seclusion a few days ago must have been leaked by the Demon Abyss, right?"
However... before the Demon Abyss disappeared from the world's sight, we were not unaware of it. Perhaps to others, the Demon Abyss was a dangerous place filled with blood and death, but to us, it was nothing special. Let alone a small Demon Snake, in theory, even if a real dragon were put into the Demon Abyss, it shouldn't have reached such a level of realism in a thousand years, right?
If that's the case, then what have we been doing all these years of cultivating ourselves? Have we been cultivating ourselves for nothing?
A young figure emerged from the shadows of the secret room; this person was the one whose voice was filled with cynicism.
After looking around, he solemnly said to Dao, " The Demon Abyss has been missing for a thousand years, which is abnormal to begin with. It is really inappropriate for us to look at the Demon Abyss with the same eyes we had before it disappeared. According to my latest information, the Demon Abyss at this moment... is terrifying!"
Seeing this once most cynical young man now solemnly admonishing everyone, those in the secret room couldn't help but turn their gazes to him.
"Some time ago, Demon Abyss" Qi has reappeared in the world, as you all probably already know. However, what you may not know is that along with Demon Abyss... Along with Qi, several fearsome Devil Heads have also reappeared in the world besides the Demon Snake, another Devil Head has already appeared, a tiger demon. However, that tiger demon was barely subdued by that One ' Evil True Person ' from the Immortal Court using a golden hoop as soon as it emerged from Demon Abyss. And that tiger demon's Realm has clearly reached ' Desolate Realm '!
"What? Desolate Realm? Doesn't that mean they're in the same Realm as us?" The old woman seemed very incredulous. "How many years have passed since we cultified? How many hardships and tribulations have we endured? How could they... do it so quickly?"
The young man gave a wry smile. "When I first realized the true power of that tiger demon, I couldn't believe it either. But now, with the tiger demon as a precedent, and now Demon Snake wreaking havoc in Hang City, who knows how ferocious the remaining hidden Devil Heads will be? If we continue to view Demon Abyss with our old perspectives, I'm afraid... it will truly be inappropriate!"
"Perhaps what you said does have some merit, but simply belittling us and elevating the Demon Abyss lacks the necessary persuasiveness of even if their cultivation has truly reached the Desolate Realm, so what? One or two powerful Demon Abyss..." Devil Head doesn't represent the entire Demon Abyss!
Perhaps provoked, the old woman continued to try to refute the young man's speculation until this point.
"They're just one or two newly minted ' Desolate Realm ' Devil Heads. We have so many Desolate Realms, how could we possibly be afraid of Demon Abyss? We weren't afraid a thousand years ago, so why should we be so cautious about Demon Abyss a thousand years later?"
The young man, seeing the old woman's stunned expression, also looked dejected: "To be honest, I've thought about this too. After all, the difference in strength between Desolate Realms is like heaven and earth. For example, when you and I were both at Peak, you could suppress me with a wave of your hand. I originally thought that these Devil Heads who could step into the Desolate Realm must have broken through by trickery. Dealing with them should have been quite easy, but..."
The young man smiled wryly and looked into the distance at Demon Snake, who was in a state of explosive power. His meaning was self-evident. Although Demon Snake had forcibly raised his cultivation to a level that was infinitely close to " Heavenly Dao Realm " by self-harming, the fact that he could do this represented his solid and firm foundation of cultivation!
This alone is enough to dispel their previous speculation that the Devil Heads of Demon Abyss had trespassed into the " Desolate Realm "
